Detailed Implementation

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0019] To address the technical problem that existing ultrasonic cleaning equipment is unable to adequately clean the inner wall of the cylinder, this invention provides a multi-stage cylinder cleaning device that first uses a spray element 120 to rinse the inner wall of the cylinder, and then performs ultrasonic cleaning on the cylinder to ensure the cleanliness of the inner wall of the cylinder.

[0020] It should be noted that the multi-stage cylindrical cleaning equipment of the present invention is used for, but not limited to, cleaning cylindrical workpieces, etc. For ease of explanation, in this invention, only the application of the multi-stage cylindrical cleaning equipment to cleaning cylindrical workpieces, etc. is used as an example for explanation. The principle of the multi-stage cylindrical cleaning equipment applied to other types of equipment is essentially the same as the principle applied to cleaning cylindrical workpieces, etc., and will not be described in detail here.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic diagram of a multi-stage cylindrical cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The multi-stage cylindrical cleaning device includes a spray assembly 100, an ultrasonic cleaning assembly 200, and a moving assembly 300. The spray assembly 100 includes a spray tank 110 and a spray element 120. The spray element 120 is built into the spray tank 110 and can spray cleaning liquid circumferentially. The ultrasonic cleaning assembly 200 includes an ultrasonic cleaning tank 210 and an ultrasonic generator 220. The ultrasonic generator 220 is built into the ultrasonic cleaning tank 210 and is used to generate ultrasonic waves within the ultrasonic cleaning tank 210. The moving component 300 includes a clamping member 310 and a transferring member 320. The clamping member 310 is used to clamp the cylinder, and the transferring member 320 is connected to the clamping member 310 in a driving manner. The transferring member 320 has a first state in which it drives the clamping member 310 to extend into the spray tank 110 so that the cylinder is sleeved on the outer periphery of the spray member 120, and a second state in which it drives the clamping member 310 to extend into the ultrasonic cleaning tank 210.

[0022] In this embodiment, the cylinder to be cleaned is first held by the clamping member 310. Then, the transfer member 320 is switched to the first state, allowing the clamping member 310 to extend into the spray tank 110, thereby placing the cylinder around the spray member 120. The spray member 120 then sprays cleaning fluid to rinse the inner wall of the cylinder. After rinsing the inner wall of the cylinder, the transfer member 320 is switched to the second state, allowing the clamping member 310 to be transported to the ultrasonic cleaning tank 210. Finally, the ultrasonic generator 220 generates ultrasonic waves to perform ultrasonic cleaning on the cylinder. Using the above-described multi-stage cylinder cleaning equipment, the inner wall of the cylinder can be rinsed first by the spray member 120, and then ultrasonically cleaned, ensuring the cleanliness of the inner wall of the cylinder.

[0023] In some embodiments, the spray assembly 100 includes a plurality of spray elements 120 arranged in an array within the spray tank 110. The clamping member 310 has a plurality of placement slots 311 for fixing the cylinder, and the plurality of placement slots 311 correspond one-to-one with the plurality of spray elements 120. The placement slots 311 are used to receive the cylinder, and the plurality of placement slots 311 can hold a plurality of cylinders. The arrangement positions of the plurality of spray elements 120 and the opening positions of the plurality of placement slots 311 correspond one-to-one, so that the plurality of spray elements 120 can extend into the plurality of cylinders one-to-one.

[0024] Based on the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the bottom end of the placement trough 311 is provided with an inlet and outlet 312, and the spray component 120 can enter and exit the placement trough 311 through the inlet and outlet 312.

[0025] In some embodiments, the spray assembly 100 further includes an annular nozzle 130, which is mounted above the spray tank 110 and is used to spray cleaning fluid into the spray tank 110. Because the nozzle is annular, the cleaning fluid can be sprayed circumferentially, thereby rinsing the inner wall of the cylinder.

[0026] In some embodiments, the transfer member 320 includes a crossbeam 321, a slide 322, a claw 323, a first drive unit 324, and a second drive unit 325. The crossbeam 321 is mounted above the spray tank 110 and the ultrasonic cleaning tank 210. The slide 322 is slidably disposed on the crossbeam 321. The first drive unit 324 is drivenly connected to the slide 322 to drive the slide 322 to slide along the length direction of the crossbeam 321. The claw 323 is used to lift and hold the member 310. The claw 323 is slidably disposed on the slide 322. The second drive unit 325 is drivenly connected to the claw 323 to drive the claw 323 to slide in a direction perpendicular to the crossbeam 321. The transfer member 320 can be switched between a first state and a second state by manipulating the first drive unit 324 and the second drive unit 325. Since the crossbeam 321 is mounted above the spray tank 110 and the ultrasonic cleaning tank 210, the first drive unit 324 causes the slide 322 to slide along the crossbeam 321, which in turn drives the gripper 323 to move horizontally. The second drive unit 325 causes the gripper 323 to slide along the slide 322, which in turn drives the gripper 323 to move vertically. This allows the gripper 323 to move both vertically and horizontally, enabling it to move the clamping member 310 in and out of the spray tank 110 or the ultrasonic cleaning tank 210.

[0027] In some embodiments, the slide 322 has a threaded hole 3221. The first drive unit 324 includes a lead screw 3241 and a motor 3242. The lead screw 3241 is rotatably mounted on the crossbeam 321 and is screwed to the threaded hole 3221. The motor 3242 is connected to the lead screw 3241 to drive it to rotate. By driving the lead screw 3241 to rotate through the motor 3242, and since the lead screw 3241 and the threaded hole 3221 are screwed together, the rotating lead screw 3241 can drive the slide 322 to translate.

[0028] In some embodiments, the second drive unit 325 includes a hydraulic cylinder 3251, the cylinder body of which is mounted on a slide 322, and the piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 3251 is connected to a chuck 323. Movement of the piston rod relative to the cylinder body of the hydraulic cylinder 3251 can move the chuck 323, thereby driving the limiting member to enter and exit the spray tank 110 and the ultrasonic cleaning tank 210.

[0029] In some embodiments, the ultrasonic cleaning tank 210 has several mutually separated unit cavities 211. After the cylinder has completed spray cleaning, it can sequentially enter several unit cavities 211 to clean the cylinder step by step, thereby achieving a higher degree of cleanliness.

[0030] Based on the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the ultrasonic generator 220 includes a plurality of excitation units 221, which are correspondingly built into a plurality of unit cavities 211. The excitation units 221 are used to excite ultrasonic waves in the unit cavities 211.

[0031] In some embodiments, the spray member 120 has a plurality of spray holes 121 on its outer periphery, so that spray liquid can be sprayed through each spray hole 121 to flush the inner wall of the cylinder.

[0032] To better understand this invention, the following is combined with... Figures 1 to 2 The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below: Multiple cylinders are embedded one-to-one into multiple placement slots 311, and the positions of multiple spray elements 120 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the placement slots 311. Then, the transfer member 320 is switched to the first state, allowing the multiple spray elements 120 to extend into the multiple cylinders one-to-one. Cleaning liquid is then sprayed using the spray elements 120 to rinse the inner wall of the cylinder. After rinsing the inner wall of the cylinder, the transfer member 320 is switched to the second state, allowing the clamping member 310 to be transported to the ultrasonic cleaning tank 210. Finally, the ultrasonic generator 220 generates ultrasonic waves to perform ultrasonic cleaning on the cylinder. Using the above-described multi-stage cylinder cleaning equipment, the inner wall of the cylinder can be rinsed first using the spray elements 120, and then the cylinder can be ultrasonically cleaned to ensure the cleanliness of the inner wall of the cylinder.
