[0038] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0039] A fully automatic cleaning machine for tapered bearings, such as Figure 1 , 4 As shown in Figure 5, the machine includes a main body 1, primarily used for cleaning tapered bearings. The main body 1 comprises a transfer device 11, a disassembly system 3, a cleaning system 4, and an assembly system 5. The disassembly system 3 includes a moving device 31 and a clamping assembly 32 located at the output end of the moving device 31. The clamping assembly 32 cooperates with the moving device 31 to separate the inner ring 21, outer ring 22, and cage 23 of the bearing 2. During cleaning, the moving device 31 controls the clamping assembly 32 to move and sequentially disassemble the inner ring 21, cage 23, and outer ring 22 of the bearing 2, and then moves the cage 23 to the conveyor belt of the transfer device 11. The inner ring 21 and outer ring 22 of the bearing 2 are moved to the cleaning system 4 for cleaning by the robotic arm or linear module of the transfer device 11. The cleaning system 4 includes a brushing module 41, which includes a positioning device 42 and a roller brush device 43. The roller brush device 43 is used to clean the inner ring 21 or outer ring 22 positioned by the positioning device 42. When cleaning the inner ring 21 and outer ring 22 of the bearing 2, the inner ring 21 or outer ring 22 of the bearing 2 to be cleaned is first fixed by the positioning device 42, and then brushed by the roller brush device 43, which facilitates the cleaning of the inner ring 21 and outer ring 22. Compared with the cleaning equipment that cleans the entire bearing 2, the cleaning effect is better and the cleaning ability is stronger.

[0040] like Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, the cleaning machine body 1 is mainly used for cleaning tapered bearings, due to the split design of the tapered bearing, the inner ring 21, the retainer 23 and the outer ring 22 of the bearing 2 are separated by disassembling the clamping assembly 32 in the disassembling system 3, in this embodiment, the moving device 31 includes a translation device 311 and a first lifting device 312, when separating, the second clamping jaw 322 is inserted from the inner side of the inner ring 21 and expands outward, so that the outer surface of the second clamping jaw 322 abuts against the inner wall of the inner ring 21, after the second clamping jaw 322 tightens the inner ring 21, the clamping assembly 32 is lifted by the moving device 31 and the inner ring 21 of the bearing 2 is separated; similarly, the outer side wall of the outer ring 22 is clamped by the first clamping jaw 321, and is moved by the moving device 31 for separating the outer ring 22 of the bearing 2, in addition, since the cleaning machine body 1 does not clean the retainer 23, the retainer 23 of the bearing 2 is clamped by the third clamping jaw 323 and moved to the conveying belt of the transfer device 11 by the moving device 31, and is transported to the assembling system 5 by the conveying belt, so as to facilitate the disassembly and separation of the inner ring 21, the outer ring 22 and the retainer 23 of the bearing 2, for subsequent separate cleaning of the inner ring 21 and the outer ring 22.

[0041] As shown in Figure 4 、 5 , 6, in this embodiment, the positioning device 42 includes a pressing-down assembly 44 and a supporting assembly 45, the pressing-down assembly 44 is used to press down and position the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 on the supporting assembly 45, the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 of the bearing 2 to be cleaned is positioned and pressed down on the supporting assembly 45 by the pressing-down assembly 44, improving the positioning accuracy and installation stability of the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22, so as to be brushed by the rolling brush device 43 subsequently, the brushing module 41 is provided with a first rotary driving device 411, the supporting assembly 45 includes a rotary tray 451 connected to the output shaft of the first rotary driving device 411, the first rotary driving device 411 drives the rotary tray 451 to rotate and drive the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 to rotate, the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 of the bearing 2 to be cleaned rotates under the driving of the rotary tray 451, and the inner side wall of the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 rotates and rubs against the rolling brush device 43, facilitating the cleaning of the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22, and improving the cleaning effect of the bearing 2; in addition, the rolling brush device 43 includes a translation driving device 431 and a second rotary driving device 432, the second rotary driving device 432 is arranged at the output end of the translation driving device 431, and the output shaft end of the second rotary driving device 432 is provided with a cleaning brush 433, before cleaning the bearing 2, the translation driving device 431 drives the cleaning brush 433 to translate and abut against the inner side of the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 of the bearing 2 to be cleaned, ensuring that the cleaning brush 433 is in full contact with the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 during cleaning, improving the cleaning effect, and the cleaning brush 433 can be driven to rotate by the second rotary driving device 432, so that the cleaning brush 433 rotates, and further improves the cleaning effect of the rolling brush device 43 in cooperation with the rotary tray 451.

[0042] like Figure 5 , 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the pressing component 44 includes a pressing member 441 and a plurality of rolling tubes 442 connected to the pressing member 441. The pressing member 441 includes an annular support portion 4411 and a mounting portion 4412 fixedly connected to the center of the annular support portion 4411. The rolling tubes 442 are rotatably connected between the annular support portion 4411 and the mounting portion 4412, and the rolling tubes 442 are inclined downward from one end of the annular support towards the mounting portion 4412. After the inner ring 21 or outer ring 22 is installed in place, the inclined rolling tubes 442 abut against the inner ring 21 or outer ring 22, restricting the translation of the inner ring 21 or outer ring 22 and improving the installation stability of the inner ring 21 or outer ring 22. In addition, a rotating shaft 443 is inclinedly connected between the annular support portion 4411 and the mounting portion 4412. The rolling tubes 442 are rotatably sleeved on the rotating shaft 443, and the rotating tray 451 drives the rotation. During the rotation of the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22, the rolling tube 442 rotates around the rotating shaft 443, causing rolling friction between the rolling tube 442 and the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22. This ensures smooth rotation of the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 and reduces wear between the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 and the rolling tube 442. In this embodiment, three rolling tubes 442 are provided, and the rolling tubes 442 are radiating outward from the center relative to the mounting part 4412, forming an inverted conical structure. When the positioning device 42 is positioned, the inverted conical rolling tube 442 is pressed against the inner side of the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 to be cleaned, restricting the movement of the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 and facilitating fixation. In other embodiments, the number of rolling tubes 442 can also be increased to further improve the fixing effect of the positioning device 42 and improve the installation stability of the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 of the bearing 2 to be cleaned.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting part 4412 of the pressing component 44 is provided with a track groove 444 corresponding to the output shaft of the second rotary drive device 432, so that when the roller brush device 43 translates, it constrains the movement trajectory of the end of the second rotary drive device 432, ensuring that the opening direction of the track groove 444 of the cleaning brush 433 translates, while preventing the cleaning brush 433 from shaking too much during translation, and avoiding the cleaning brush 433 from colliding with other components.

[0044] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the cleaning system 4 includes a housing 6 and a second lifting device 61 for controlling the raising and lowering of the housing 6. The second lifting device 61 of the housing 6 is controlled by a cylinder. To visually demonstrate the structure of the roller brush device 43 inside the housing 6, Figure 3 , 4Only a portion of the housing 6 is shown in the image. In the actual equipment, each station of the cleaning system 4 is equipped with a housing 6. The second lifting device 61 controls the vertical displacement of the housing 6. Before cleaning the inner ring 21 or outer ring 22 of the bearing 2, the second lifting device 61 controls the housing 6 to move upward. After the inner ring 21 or outer ring 22 of the bearing 2 is installed in place, the housing 6 is closed to prevent a large amount of water and air from leaking out during the cleaning process and affecting the cleaning of the bearing 2. At the same time, it prevents external dust and other contaminants from entering the housing 6 and affecting the cleaning effect. In this embodiment, in addition to the brushing module 41, the cleaning system 4 is also equipped with a spraying module and a drying module. The inner ring 21 or outer ring 22 is brushed and then sequentially placed into the spray module and drying module by a linear module or robot arm, where it is sprayed and dried in sequence, further improving the cleaning effect of the bearing 2. In addition, in this embodiment, the cleaning system 4 includes at least two identical workstations so that the inner ring 21 and outer ring 22 of the bearing 2 can be moved to the two workstations respectively for simultaneous cleaning, improving cleaning efficiency. After the inner ring 21 and outer ring 22 of the bearing 2 are cleaned, they are reassembled by the assembly system 5. In this embodiment, the assembly system 5 reassembles the bearing 2 through another clamping component 32.

[0045] In this embodiment, the following is adopted: Figure 1 The fully automatic tapered bearing cleaning machine shown includes the following steps when cleaning tapered bearings: S1. Place the bearing 2 to be cleaned in the disassembly system 3, and control the clamping assembly 32 to disassemble the inner ring 21, outer ring 22 and cage 23 of the bearing 2 through the moving device 31.

[0046] The inner ring 21, outer ring 22 and cage 23 are separated by the clamping assembly 32 so that the main body of the cleaning machine 1 can clean the inner ring 21 and outer ring 22 of the bearing 2 separately by the roller brush device 43, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0047] S2, the inner ring 21 and outer ring 22 of bearing 2 are moved to the brushing module 41 of cleaning system 4 by transfer device 11, and the inner ring 21 or outer ring 22 is positioned and installed by positioning device 42.

[0048] The inner ring 21 or outer ring 22 of the bearing 2 to be cleaned is positioned and pressed down onto the support component 45 by the pressing component 44, which facilitates the positioning of the inner ring 21 or outer ring 22 of the bearing 2, so that when the roller brush device 43 cleans the inner ring 21 or outer ring 22, the inner ring 21 or outer ring 22 will not move, which facilitates subsequent cleaning.

[0049] S3. After the inner ring 21 or outer ring 22 is positioned, the inner ring 21 or outer ring 22 is brushed by the roller brush device 43.

[0050] In this embodiment, the cleaning brush 433 is pressed against the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 by the translation drive device 431, so that there is a certain force between the cleaning brush 433 and the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 to be cleaned, so that the cleaning brush 433 can fully contact the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 when brushing. The first rotation drive device 411 drives the rotating tray 451 to rotate, and drives the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 on the rotating tray 451 to rotate, so that the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 rotates and rubs against the cleaning brush 433. At the same time, the cleaning brush 433 rotates under the drive of the second rotation drive device 432, and fully contacts and rubs against the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0051] After the inner ring 21 and outer ring 22 are cleaned, they are moved to the assembly system 5 for assembly via the transfer device 11.

[0052] The basic working principle of this invention is as follows: the tapered bearing to be cleaned is disassembled into an inner ring 21, an outer ring 22, and a cage 23 by the clamping assembly 32, so that the bearing 2 can be disassembled for cleaning. The inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 is positioned by the positioning device 42 to prevent the inner ring 21 and the outer ring 22 from moving during the cleaning process and affecting the cleaning effect. After the inner ring 21 or the outer ring 22 is positioned by the positioning device 42, it is cleaned by the rotatable roller brush device 43 in the brushing module 41, thereby improving the cleaning ability of the main body 1 of the cleaning machine to clean stubborn contaminants inside the bearing 2, especially between the inner ring 21 and the outer ring 22.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the claims of this patent application are included in the scope of this patent application.
