TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of industrial precision component cleaning, in particular to a diesel engine common rail pipeline cleaning device. BACKGROUND
[0002] The common rail pipeline (common rail pipe) in the high-pressure common rail system of a diesel engine is a key pressure storage and fuel distribution element, and the cleanliness of the inner cavity of the common rail pipe is directly related to the reliability of the entire fuel injection system, the fuel injection precision, and the long-term running stability of the engine. Contaminants on the inner wall of the common rail pipe, such as metal processing burrs, residual cutting fluid, carbon deposits, and particulate matter, etc., are extremely easy to cause the precision components such as injectors to be stuck and worn under the entrainment of high-pressure fuel, thereby causing the engine performance to decline or even fail. Therefore, thoroughly cleaning the common rail pipeline, especially the complex and slender inner cavity channel thereof, is a crucial and extremely challenging link in the engine manufacturing and remanufacturing process.
[0003] Currently, various technologies have been developed for cleaning the inner cavity of the pipeline in the industrial field, but when applied to special components such as high-precision, small-diameter, and multi-corner common rail pipes, there are significant limitations: traditional methods mainly include mechanical scraping using pigging balls, cup-type pigging tools, and other tools, as well as using high-pressure water jets or compressed air for flushing. Such methods are simple in principle, but have limited cleaning effect on firmly adhered contaminants such as burrs on the folded edges of intersecting holes in the common rail pipe and tiny metal particles embedded in the thread roots. Especially during one-way flushing, "cleaning blind areas" are easily formed at pipe bends and reducers, leading to the accumulation of dirt. In addition, although high water jet pressure (such as high-pressure cleaning reaching 500 bar) can improve the decontamination capability, it poses a risk of damaging the surface quality of the precision inner wall, and the equipment is complex and energy consumption is high. Meanwhile, it is also common to immerse the workpiece in a cleaning solution and use the cavitation effect of ultrasonic waves for cleaning. However, the energy of ultrasonic waves attenuates quickly in liquid, and the cavitation effect is greatly weakened in the deep and blocked areas of the slender pipeline, resulting in unsatisfactory cleaning effect. More critically, if the strong ultrasonic cavitation effect is not properly controlled, it may cause "cavitation erosion" damage to the surface of the pipeline metal substrate. At the same time, this method is a whole-body, non-selective cleaning method that cannot perform targeted intensive treatment on stubborn stains, and there is a lack of real-time and intuitive evaluation means for the inner wall condition after cleaning. Although some improved technologies have emerged to address the above problems. For example, bidirectional pulse air flow is used for pipeline pre-cleaning to reduce blind areas, or ultrasonic transducers are installed on the outer wall of the pipeline for remote descaling. However, the former has insufficient cleaning power for microscopically adhering contaminants, and the latter has problems such as low ultrasonic wave transmission efficiency, easy reflection of standing waves, and difficulty in precisely focusing energy on specific points on the inner wall. In addition, although detection robots for municipal pipelines have appeared, they are usually single-function (mainly for detection or unblocking), and the working environment and precision requirements are completely different from those of common rail pipe cleaning, and cannot be directly applied to high-precision industrial scenarios that require "detection-cleaning-evaluation" integrated operations.

The inside of the shell 171 is installed with a servo driving piece 1795, the side end of the servo driving piece 1795 is installed with a main bevel gear 1796, the side end gear face of the main bevel gear 1796 is equally divided and meshed with three groups of synchronous bevel gear rods 1797, the three groups of synchronous bevel gear rods 1797 are composed of a rod body and bevel gears installed on the top and bottom of the rod body, and the side end of the three groups of synchronous bevel gear rods 1797 is meshed with a limit gear 1780.The end bevel gear of the three sets of synchronous bevel gear rods 1797 is meshingly connected with a transmission bevel gear 1798, the side end of the transmission bevel gear 1798 is provided with an angle encoder 1799, the side end of the angle encoder 1799 is provided with a transmission part 1791, the side end of the transmission part 1791 is provided with a rotating seat 1792, the inside of the rotating seat 1792 is rotationally connected with an adjusting rod 1793, and the end of the adjusting rod 1793 is provided with an execution air bag 1794. First, the diesel engine common rail pipe to be cleaned is sent into the external polishing structure 100 by a mechanical arm or a conveying belt. The structure uniformly polishes the outer surface of the pipe by a flexible grinding brush or a controllable pressure sand blasting system, removes rust, paint layers or stubborn external dirt, provides a clean appearance basis for subsequent cleaning and detection processes, and avoids that external pollutants are brought into the subsequent cleaning cabin. Then the common rail pipe polished externally is automatically transferred to the internal and external cleaning cabin 300. In the internal and external cleaning cabin 300, the common rail pipe will be immersed in a plurality of tank bodies provided with cleaning agents with different properties (such as alkaline degreasing agent, acidic rust remover, organic solvent, etc.) in sequence. After each soaking stage, the integrated macrosonic generator in the internal and external cleaning cabin 300 is started to generate high-frequency vibration to cause strong cavitation effect between the cleaning liquid and the inner and outer walls of the pipe. The effect generates countless tiny bubbles and instantaneously collapses to generate shock waves, which can effectively strip and disperse oil stains, gums and part of carbon deposits on the inner and outer surfaces of the pipe. This stage aims to remove most of the pollutants to reduce the load of the subsequent precise internal cleaning, accompanied by high-pressure spraying and subsequent wind cutting treatment operations.
[0040] Secondly, the common rail pipe after completing the immersion ultrasonic cleaning is taken out by a mechanical device (clamping device) and placed on the conveying structure 800 of the precise internal cleaning structure 400. The conveying structure 800 horizontally transports the common rail pipe, and when passing through the external drying oven 700, the external drying oven 700 generates controllable temperature hot air to preliminarily dry the outer surface and inner cavity of the pipe. The main purpose is to remove residual cleaning liquid droplets to prevent them from interfering with the subsequent precise internal cleaning process (especially optical detection and acoustic coupling), and to improve the safety of the working environment (where the external drying oven 700 is used for preliminary drying, mainly to remove a large amount of free cleaning liquid droplets to prevent them from interfering with the subsequent precise detection. After the soft robot part 170 enters, a small amount of clean atomized liquid flow can be introduced to wet the inner wall to optimize ultrasonic coupling and cleaning effect).
[0041] Then the conveying structure 800 sends the pre-dried common rail pipe to the output end. The guide rail clamping structure 900 then acts, and the self-adaptive clamp firmly grabs the common rail pipe and adjusts the spatial orientation of the pipe according to the control instruction to accurately align and send the pipe into the predetermined working position of the positioning outer bin 120, ensuring that the axis of the common rail pipe is aligned with the advancing direction of the soft robot part 170 on the horizontal conveying guide rail 160 in the bin.
[0042] Then the lateral conveying rail 160 starts to work, and the soft robot part 170 at the top end of it is smoothly sent into the common rail pipeline entrance. During the process of entering or after reaching the initial working position, the servo drive 1795 (such as a servo drive motor or a servo drive motor) inside the soft robot part 170 starts to work, drives the three sets of synchronous bevel gear rods 1797 through the main bevel gear 1796, and then drives the transmission bevel gear 1798 and the transmission member 1791, finally makes the rotating seat 1792 and the execution air bag 1794 at the end thereof produce angular adjustment. According to the situation, the execution air bag 1794 can be inflated or deformed, so that its outer wall is softly attached to the inner wall of the pipeline, and the robot is preliminarily radially centered and stabilized in the pipeline.
[0043] Then, the pre-scanning detection sound unit at the front end of the robot first starts to work. It emits a wide-beam detection sound wave to the inner wall of the pipeline, and quickly and preliminarily judges whether there is obvious blockage, large blocky attachments or abnormal protrusions in the front large range according to the echo signal, to generate a rough acoustic profile map, providing navigation reference for subsequent precise scanning. Then, the core probe of the endoscopic fiber-optic photoacoustic sensing array 172 starts to work. The Fabry-Perot interference cavity film at the front end thereof is extremely sensitive to sound pressure. The phased array ultrasonic transducer array 175 located at the periphery thereof is controlled by the integrated controller in the soft robot part 170 to emit focused ultrasonic beams with specific phase delays, scanning and irradiating specific areas of the inner wall of the pipeline. When the sound wave acts on the inner wall stain, it will excite it to generate weak photoacoustic signals (further specifically, laser induction can be combined to enhance this effect). The endoscopic fiber-optic photoacoustic sensing array 172 captures these signals, and since the probe thereof is located at the annular center of the phased array ultrasonic transducer array 175, it can obtain detection data with extremely high signal-to-noise ratio. By processing these signals, a high-resolution image of the inner wall of the pipeline can be generated, clearly identifying micro cracks, residual thin-layer carbon deposits or specific chemical contaminants and their accurate positions. Among them, the electromagnetic damping rotating ring 173 can drive the positioning member 174 and the entire phased array ultrasonic transducer array 175 to rotate slowly, realizing 360-degree circumferential scanning imaging of the inner wall of the pipeline. Once the stain is accurately positioned through the above operation, the cleaning program is immediately started, and two modes are cooperated or alternated:
[0044] One is to form a focused ultrasonic striking mode: that is, to make the phased array ultrasonic transducer array 175 adjust the phase of the emitted beam, and accurately focus the ultrasonic wave energy on the identified stain point. High-intensity focused ultrasound can produce strong cavitation effect and microjet in a very small local area, mechanically crushing and peeling off stubborn stains, while having almost no effect on the surrounding clean metal matrix.
[0045] Secondly, a high-frequency pulsating jet flushing mode is formed: the liquid supply pump box 180 pumps the special fine cleaning liquid to the high-frequency pulsating liquid jet nozzle 178 through the liquid supply pipe and the flow channel in the shell 171. The high-frequency pulsating liquid jet nozzle 178 generates a high-frequency pulse jet, which directly impacts the ultrasonic loosened stain area. The pulse jet has stronger shearing force and flushing effect, can quickly flush away the peeled-off dirt particles, and is discharged through the backflow system. The bidirectional driving member 177 can adjust its angle through the transmission rod frame structure 179 outside, that is, the servo driving member 1795 can drive the rotating disc 176 and the structure at the front end of the rotating disc 176 to rotate in a circumferential angle, so that the bidirectional driving member 177, the transmission rod frame structure 179 and the contact feedback soft ball 1790 can displace 360° along the inner wall of the diesel engine common rail pipe, thereby changing the jet direction of the high-frequency pulsating liquid jet nozzle 178 and expanding the flushing coverage. The contact feedback soft ball 1790 at the end (the contact feedback soft ball 1790 is provided with a micro-pressure detection sensor inside, which is used to contact the pipe wall during the non-jet period to calibrate the robot pose and provide spatial coordinate feedback for the nozzle angle, so as to realize more accurate directional flushing) can provide flexible tactile feedback when contacting the pipe wall, preventing the mechanical structure from scratching the precise inner wall.
[0046] After one positioning, striking and flushing cycle, the endoscopic fiber-optic photoacoustic sensor array 172 and the phased array ultrasonic transducer array 175 immediately scan and image the cleaned area again, compare the new image data with the pre-cleaning image data, and evaluate the stain removal rate in real time. If the preset cleanliness threshold is not reached, the whole cleaning operation is performed again until the point is accepted. Thus, a closed-loop intelligent control process of detection, cleaning and re-detection is formed. In the above process, the soft robot part 170 can move axially along the pipeline in sections under the accurate step-by-step driving of the transverse conveying guide rail 160, and the above operation is repeatedly performed on each section of the pipeline until the deep cleaning and quality inspection of all areas in the diesel engine common rail pipe are completed. After completing all the internal cleaning operations, the soft robot part 170 retracts all the execution mechanisms (such as the contraction execution air bag), and is smoothly withdrawn from the diesel engine common rail pipe by the rotation of the transverse conveying guide rail 160 and the liquid supply pipe. The guide rail clamping structure 900 takes out the cleaned common rail pipe from the positioning outer cabin 120, and the cleaning conveying structure 110 continues the operation link.
[0047] According to Figures 1-3As shown, the side of the conveying structure 800 is provided with a cleaning conveying structure 110, the side end of the cleaning conveying structure 110 is provided with a frequency-adjustable resonance structure 130, the side end of the resonance structure 130 is provided with a scanning structure 140, the side end of the scanning structure 140 is provided with a transverse guide rail clamping conveying structure 150, the side end of the fine internal cleaning structure 400 is provided with a marking end 500, and the transverse guide rail clamping conveying structure 150 is used to convey the cleaned diesel common rail pipe to the marking end 500 for marking work. The bottom of the internal and external cleaning cabin 300 is provided with a liquid receiving groove 600, and the top surface of the top body of the internal and external cleaning cabin 300 is provided with a circulating pump box 200. The surface of the fine internal cleaning structure 400 is provided with a general control end, which is in communication connection with the integrated controller in the external polishing structure 100, the internal and external cleaning cabin 300, the guide rail clamping structure 900, the transverse conveying guide rail 160 and the soft robot part 170, and is used for coordinating the full-automatic cleaning process. Functional nanoparticles can be added to the cleaning liquid provided by the liquid supply pump box 180, the integrated controller is provided with a coating working mode, under the coating working mode, the phased array ultrasonic transducer array 175 generates a non-destructive cavitation field, so that the nanoparticles are deposited in situ on the inner wall of the cleaned pipe to form a functional coating. The above diesel common rail pipe is sequentially immersed in cleaning tanks with different chemical properties, and cavitation cleaning is carried out in combination with high-strength macroscopic ultrasonic waves. The circulating pump box 200 works continuously to maintain the activity and cleanliness of the cleaning liquid. The waste liquid after cleaning flows into the bottom liquid receiving groove 600 and enters the centralized treatment or recycling system. This stage aims to remove more than 90% of the internal and external surface macroscopic contaminants.
[0048] And in the above through the cleaning conveying structure 110, so that the diesel engine common rail pipe into the frequency adjustable resonance structure 130. Resonance structure 130 to the common rail pipe exert a series of controllable frequency mechanical excitation, and accurately measure its vibration response spectrum. Since the internal stubborn carbon, blockage or micro cracks will significantly change the inherent frequency and damping characteristics of the pipe body, by analyzing the spectrum changes, the whole can be non-destructive and quickly judge the pipe internal contamination attachment strength, roughly distribution and structural integrity of hidden dangers, and further the internal cleaning of waste and waste liquid as soon as possible (cleaning conveying structure 110, provided with negative pressure suction collection interface, to recycle waste liquid and particles in real time, to prevent secondary pollution), then, the diesel engine common rail pipe through the scanning structure 140. Make scanning structure 140 using high-speed line array camera or laser profile scanner, fast imaging of the pipe outer surface and visible end cavity, check whether there are resonance structure 130 did not find the macro defects (such as deep hole blockage, severe deformation) or residual large block pollutants. And in this, the total control control end receives and fuses the data from the resonance analysis of resonance structure 130 and the optical scanning of scanning structure 140 in real time. Among them, the laser scanning structure of external polishing structure 100 scans the diesel engine common rail pipe in advance, and based on the built-in analysis, the total control control end automatically classifies and rates the workpiece state:
[0049] As good: that is, internal pollution, structure is perfect. The total control control end determines that there is no need to enter the expensive fine internal cleaning process.
[0050] As needed: that is, there are stubborn pollutants or need to be checked in depth. The total control control end determines that the fine internal cleaning process must be entered.
[0051] As scrap: that is, serious structural damage (such as cracks) is found. The total control control end alarms and instructs to remove the workpiece from the production line (scrap parts are removed from the line by manual or special mechanical arm).
[0052] And for the diesel engine common rail pipe judged as good, the cleaning conveying structure 110 directly conveys it to the transverse guide rail clamping conveying structure 150 at the end, preparing to enter the marking link. This path greatly saves time and energy consumption. And for the diesel engine common rail pipe judged as needed, the guide rail clamping structure 900 clamps and displaces it to the relevant position inside the positioning outer warehouse 120, and then executes the robot fine cleaning and in-situ detection process detailed in the last reply.
[0053] When the cleaning quality reaches the preset excellent standard, the total control end can start the coating working mode according to the preset program or instruction. In this mode, the liquid supply pump box 180 valve is switched to deliver the suspension containing specific functional nanoparticles (such as friction-reducing, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant nanoparticles) to the soft robot part 170. The phased array ultrasonic transducer array 175 of the soft robot part 170 adjusts the working mode to generate a uniform and non-destructive low-frequency cavitation field. The high-frequency pulsating liquid jet nozzle 178 uniformly atomizes and sprays the nanoparticle suspension into the cleaned and new pipeline inner wall. The whole is uniformly dispersed in the liquid under the action of the precisely controlled ultrasonic cavitation field, and relies on the effect of acoustic swimming force to overcome the surface energy barrier, and is in-situ and orderly deposited and adhered to the metal inner wall surface to form a dense and uniform functional protective or reinforcing coating. Subsequently, the whole can be switched to introduce inert gas for gentle drying to solidify the coating.
[0054] After that, all the common rail pipes judged to be qualified, whether from the excellent or the processing, are finally precisely conveyed to the marking end 500 by the transverse guide rail clamping conveying structure 150. The marking end 500 generates a permanent two-dimensional code or character mark on the non-critical position of the pipeline according to the identity information (including cleaning batch, process path, coating type, quality grade, etc.) given by the total control system, using laser marking or micro-impact marking technology. The workpiece after marking is the final product, which is conveyed to the unloading area, waiting for packaging or assembly. The whole process data is uploaded to the management cloud to realize product whole life cycle traceability.
