Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of cleaning devices, and more specifically to a cleaning device for motor end caps. Background Technology

[0002] As a key component of the motor, the motor end cover is prone to contaminants such as cutting fluid residue, metal shavings, and oil stains adhering to its surface during the manufacturing process. If it is not cleaned thoroughly, it may cause bearing wear, internal short circuits in the motor, and other malfunctions during subsequent assembly. It will also reduce the sealing effect between the end cover and the motor housing, and shorten the service life of the motor.

[0003] Currently, the main method for cleaning motor end caps is simple equipment cleaning, which involves only soaking or static spraying. This type of equipment has significant drawbacks: the motor end caps are in a relatively static state during the cleaning process, resulting in a low relative flow rate between the cleaning fluid and the end cap surface. This insufficient flushing force against contaminants makes it difficult to effectively remove stubborn oil stains and tightly adhered metal debris, leading to poor cleaning results. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning device for motor end caps to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art.

[0005] A cleaning device for motor end caps includes a cleaning tank, a lifting mechanism and a reciprocating cleaning mechanism. The front side of the cleaning tank is slidably connected to a door. One side of the cleaning tank is provided with a water inlet pipe for installing a first valve, and the other side of the cleaning tank is provided with a water outlet pipe for installing a second valve. The lifting mechanism is located in the cleaning tank and drives the hanging basket to move up and down; The reciprocating cleaning mechanism is mounted on the lifting mechanism and is used to drive the hanging basket to move left and right so that the motor end cover on it is rinsed by the cleaning fluid.

[0006] Preferably, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder, a lifting frame, and a guide rod. The lifting cylinder is installed on the top of the cleaning tank, and the lower end of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder is provided with a lifting frame. The lifting frame is provided with a guide rod that is slidably connected to the top of the cleaning tank.

[0007] Preferably, the reciprocating cleaning mechanism includes a fixed plate, a drive cylinder, and a lever plate. The bottom of the lifting frame is provided with a fixed plate. The drive cylinder is mounted on a mounting seat on the top of the fixed plate. The piston rod end of the drive cylinder is provided with a connecting plate that connects to the top plate of the hanging basket. The top of the top plate is slidably connected to the slide rod at the bottom of the fixed plate via a slider. Lever plates are provided at the front and rear ends of the left and right sides of the hanging basket, respectively.

[0008] Preferably, several lifting cylinders are provided and symmetrically arranged on the top of the cleaning tank.

[0009] Preferably, the guide rods are provided in a plurality of them and are evenly distributed on the lifting frame.

[0010] Preferably, the slide bars are provided in four and arranged in a rectangular array.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the hanging basket is provided with several hanging rods.

[0012] Preferably, the two levers on the same side are staggered.

[0013] Preferably, the cleaning tank is mounted on a base.

[0014] The beneficial effects achieved by this invention are as follows: This application utilizes a reciprocating cleaning mechanism where a drive cylinder propels the basket to move back and forth along a slide bar. This creates a continuous relative displacement between the motor end cover and the cleaning fluid, generating a stable scouring force that effectively removes oil and impurities from the end cover surface. Simultaneously, the staggered baffles on both sides of the basket agitate the cleaning fluid during movement, creating localized eddies. These eddies can reach areas difficult to access using traditional cleaning methods, such as the gaps in the end cover, effectively removing hidden contaminants. Attached Figure Description

[0023] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention provides a cleaning device for motor end caps, including a cleaning tank 1, a lifting mechanism 5 and a reciprocating cleaning mechanism 6. The cleaning tank 1 is mounted on a base 12 and has a door 11 slidably connected to its front side. One side of the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a water inlet pipe 2 for installing a valve 21, and the other side of the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a water outlet pipe 3 for installing a valve 31. The cleaning tank 1, the water inlet pipe 2 and the water outlet pipe 3 constitute a closed cleaning environment, which facilitates the circulation and replacement of the cleaning fluid. In addition, the lifting mechanism 5 is located in the cleaning tank 1 and drives the hanging basket 4 to move up and down. The bottom of the hanging basket 4 is provided with several hanging rods 41 to provide multiple suspension points for the motor end cover. The lifting mechanism 5 includes a lifting cylinder 51, a lifting frame 52 and a guide rod 53. Several lifting cylinders 51 are provided and symmetrically arranged on the top of the cleaning tank 1 to make the force on the lifting frame 52 more balanced and uniform. In addition, the lower end of the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 51 is provided with a lifting frame 52. The lifting frame 52 is provided with a guide rod 53 that is slidably connected to the top of the cleaning tank 1. Several guide rods 53 are provided and evenly distributed on the lifting frame 52. The lifting process is ensured to be stable by the guide rods 53.

[0024] However, the reciprocating cleaning mechanism 6 is mounted on the lifting mechanism 5 and is used to drive the hanging basket 4 to move left and right so that the motor end cover on it is rinsed by the cleaning liquid. The reciprocating cleaning mechanism 6 includes a fixed plate 61, a drive cylinder 62 and a lever plate 67. The bottom of the lifting frame 52 is provided with a fixed plate 61. The drive cylinder 62 is mounted on the mounting seat on the top of the fixed plate 61. The piston rod end of the drive cylinder 62 is provided with a connecting plate 64 that is connected to the top plate 63 on the top of the hanging basket 4. In addition, the top of the top plate 63 is slidably connected to the bottom of the fixed plate 61 via a slider 65. There are four sliders 66 arranged in a rectangular array. The rectangular array layout makes the force points evenly distributed, forming a stable support plane. In addition, the front and rear ends of the left and right sides of the hanging basket 4 are respectively provided with deflectors 67. When the hanging basket 4 moves left and right, the deflectors 67 will move the surrounding cleaning fluid, forming turbulence or eddies around the hanging basket 4, further enhancing the rinsing effect. The two deflectors 67 on the same side are staggered. The staggered deflectors 67 can move the cleaning fluid in a wider range and at different phases, generating more complex and irregular turbulence, thereby more effectively eliminating cleaning blind spots and improving the uniformity of overall cleaning.

[0025] Detailed implementation methods and principles: When cleaning the motor end cover, the worker slides open the front door 11 of the cleaning box 1 and hangs the motor end covers to be cleaned one by one on several hanging rods 41 at the bottom of the hanging basket 4. After the motor end covers are loaded, the door 11 of the cleaning box 1 is closed. Next, open valve 21 on the water inlet pipe 2 and inject an appropriate amount of cleaning fluid into the cleaning tank 1 through the water inlet pipe 2. After reaching the preset liquid level, close valve 21 and stop adding cleaning fluid. Then, start the lifting cylinder 51 of the lifting mechanism 5. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 51 extends downward in sync, driving the lifting frame 52 connected to the piston rod to move downward until the motor end cover on the hanging basket 4 is completely submerged in the cleaning liquid of the cleaning tank 1, and the lifting cylinder 51 stops moving. Next, the drive cylinder 62 of the reciprocating cleaning mechanism 6 is activated. The connecting plate 64 on the piston rod of the drive cylinder 62 drives the hanging basket 4 to reciprocate along the slide rod 66. During the left and right movement, on the one hand, relative movement occurs between the motor end cover and the cleaning fluid, and the cleaning fluid forms a scouring force on the oil and impurities on the surface of the motor end cover; on the other hand, the staggered baffles 67 on both sides of the hanging basket 4 will disturb the cleaning fluid during movement, forming local eddies, which further enhances the fluidity of the cleaning fluid, improves the cleaning effect on the surface and gaps of the motor end cover, and avoids cleaning dead corners. The frequency and stroke of the reciprocating motion can be adjusted according to the degree of contamination of the motor end cover to ensure thorough cleaning.

[0026] In summary, this application utilizes the drive cylinder 62 of the reciprocating cleaning mechanism 6 to drive the hanging basket 4 to reciprocate left and right along the slide rod 66, creating a continuous relative displacement between the motor end cover and the cleaning fluid, forming a stable scouring force, and effectively removing oil and impurities from the surface of the end cover. Simultaneously, the staggered baffles 67 on both sides of the hanging basket 4 can agitate the cleaning fluid during movement, forming localized eddies. These eddies can act on areas difficult to reach by traditional cleaning methods, such as the gaps in the end cover, effectively removing hidden contaminants.

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention.
