Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of worm gear cleaning technology, specifically to an automatic worm gear cleaning device with a cleaning fluid recycling function. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component in mechanical transmission, the worm gear will have a large amount of metal shavings, cutting oil and oil stains adhering to its surface during the machining process. If it is not cleaned afterward, it will seriously affect the assembly accuracy and transmission stability, and shorten the service life of the worm gear.

[0003] Currently, most existing worm gear cleaning devices use a single spray structure. During the cleaning process, metal debris easily clogs the filter plates with the cleaning fluid, resulting in low efficiency of the circulating plate in drawing the cleaning fluid. This requires manual, periodic, high-frequency shutdowns for cleaning, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, leading to low cleaning efficiency. If cleaning is not timely, it can severely clog the spray components, causing damage to equipment parts. At the same time, the temperature of the cleaning fluid in existing devices is difficult to control. They often use fixed-point heating rods for heating, which can cause the cleaning fluid temperature to be too high in some areas, resulting in excessively rapid evaporation and cleaning agent failure, or the cleaning fluid temperature in areas far from the heating rods to be too low, affecting the cleaning effect. This results in frequent replacement of the cleaning fluid and low utilization rate.

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, there is an urgent need for an automatic worm gear cleaning device that can improve the recycling rate of cleaning fluid, reduce filter plate debris clogging, and provide constant temperature and high-efficiency cleaning.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic worm gear cleaning device with a cleaning fluid recycling function, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This worm gear automatic cleaning device with cleaning fluid recycling function enables the supporting filter component, limit protection component and constant temperature cleaning component to work together to achieve multiple functions through the set cleaning mechanism and circulation pump. All-round spray cleaning: The two sets of connecting pipes are driven by a geared motor to rotate around the drain plate. The pipe sections and nozzles on the connecting pipes can spray and clean the parts in the drain plate in all directions, ensuring that all surfaces of the parts can be covered by the cleaning liquid, effectively improving the thoroughness of cleaning. To ensure stable circulating spray efficiency: When the connecting pipe rotates, it synchronously drives the sleeve and scraper to rotate. The scraper can scrape metal debris on the fan-shaped filter plate of the isolation chamber in real time. There is no need for manual high-frequency periodic shutdown to scrape the fan-shaped filter plate. This not only avoids the accumulation of debris on the surface of the fan-shaped filter plate and blockage of the filter holes, but also eliminates the need to stop the machine for cleaning, thus improving the cleaning efficiency of turbine components. Highly efficient and energy-saving heating with uniform temperature control: The spiral heating wire on the L-shaped connecting rod and the U-shaped heating wire on the scraper are used to stir and heat the cleaning fluid during the rotation of the sleeve, replacing the fixed-point heating mode of the traditional fixed heating rod. This avoids the occurrence of heating dead zones, which not only improves heating efficiency and ensures uniform temperature of the cleaning fluid, but also reduces the use of electric heating parts and reduces power consumption. At the same time, the heated cleaning fluid can better dissolve oil stains on the surface of the parts, further enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0017] 2. This automatic worm gear cleaning device with cleaning fluid recycling function utilizes a hinged door structure. After the door is opened, the trolley's support rod aligns with the sliding rod on the back of the door to form a smooth pushing track, allowing the cleaning tray to be smoothly pushed into or removed from the cleaning chamber. The support rod at the bottom of the cleaning tray further limits and fixes it, preventing the tray from shaking or shifting during the cleaning process and preventing damage to the worm gear components due to collision. At the same time, the trolley's collection tank catches the cleaning fluid dripping from the cleaning tray, avoiding waste and environmental pollution. The hinged door's bracket and telescopic rod design allows for flexible adjustment and fixation of the door's opening angle, adapting to different operating scenarios. It eliminates the need for complex operations to complete material feeding and unloading, reducing the labor intensity of operators. Combined with the metal mesh plate design of the cleaning tray, it ensures full contact between the cleaning fluid and the worm gear components, guaranteeing both cleaning effectiveness and preventing the worm gear components from falling and being damaged.

[0018] 3. This worm gear automatic cleaning device with cleaning fluid recycling function adopts a modular integrated design for the cleaning mechanism, integrating cleaning fluid filtration and separation, constant temperature control, debris scraping, and all-round spraying functions into the same mechanism, simplifying the overall structure of the device and reducing the space occupied by the equipment. The closed design of the chamber, the selection of corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant materials for each component, and the detachable structural design of the cone top cover and sealing gaskets, make it possible to carry out component inspection, fan-shaped filter plate replacement, and maintenance without disassembling the entire chamber, significantly reducing maintenance costs and downtime, while extending the overall service life of the equipment. It is suitable for batch cleaning conditions in multiple industries such as machining and automotive parts manufacturing, and has strong practicality and high stability. Attached Figure Description

In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0037] This embodiment provides an automatic worm gear cleaning device with a cleaning fluid recycling function, which has the following technical features.

[0038] Please see Figures 1 to 13 , An automatic worm gear cleaning device with cleaning fluid recycling function includes a chamber 1, a drain plate 3 is movably placed inside the chamber 1, and a cleaning mechanism 4 that cooperates with the drain plate 3 is provided inside the chamber 1. It should be noted that the cleaning mechanism 4 is the core component of this device, installed in the cleaning chamber 101 of the chamber 1. It works in conjunction with the drain plate 3 to complete functions such as spray cleaning of the worm gear components, debris anti-clogging cleaning, and constant temperature control of the cleaning fluid. It mainly includes three sub-components: the supporting filter assembly 5, the limiting protection assembly 6, and the constant temperature cleaning assembly 7. The structures of each sub-component are interconnected and work together. The specific details are as follows: The filter support assembly 5 includes a T-shaped seat 501 connected to the chamber 1. The T-shaped seat 501 and the chamber 1 cooperate to form an isolation chamber 504. The T-shaped seat 501 has a three-way hole that communicates with the constant temperature cleaning assembly 7 and the isolation chamber 504. The T-shaped seat 501 is provided with a plurality of fan-shaped filter plates 503 for intercepting metal debris outside the isolation chamber 504. The sleeve 701 is located on the mating head 502 of the T-shaped seat 501. The T-shaped seat 501 has an axial inlet hole 5011, and the mating head 502 has a radial outlet hole 5021. The inlet hole 5011 and the outlet hole 5021 are connected to form a three-way hole.

[0039] The horizontal end of the T-shaped seat 501 is sloped, and multiple fan-shaped mounting holes are arranged in a circular array at the horizontal end of the T-shaped seat 501. Multiple fan-shaped filter plates 503 are installed on the multiple fan-shaped mounting holes and are in an inclined state.

[0040] It should be noted that the supporting filter assembly 5 is mainly used to support the constant temperature cleaning assembly 7, realize the separation of cleaning fluid and metal debris, ensure the recycling of cleaning fluid, and at the same time provide a fixed support for the entire cleaning mechanism 4. The T-shaped seat 501 is an integrated molded structure made of high-strength stainless steel, combining lightweight and structural stability. Its horizontal end is sloped, which facilitates the sliding of metal debris to the periphery of the isolation chamber 504 under gravity, preventing debris from accumulating on the surface of the fan-shaped filter plate 503. The outer end of the T-shaped seat 501 fits tightly with the inner wall of the chamber 1, forming a closed isolation chamber 504. The isolation chamber 504 is located at the bottom of the cleaning chamber 101 and is separated from the cleaning chamber 101 by the fan-shaped filter plate 503. This mainly prevents debris from entering the circulation system and clogging pipes, nozzles 706, or damaging the circulation pump 8, ensuring the effective cleaning of the circulating cleaning solution.

[0041] The vertical end of the T-shaped seat 501 is provided with an axial liquid inlet hole 5011, and the mating head 502 at its top is provided with a liquid outlet hole 5021 in the radial direction. The liquid inlet hole 5011 and the liquid outlet hole 5021 are interconnected to form a three-way hole that connects with the constant temperature cleaning component 7 and the isolation chamber 504. This three-way hole is the core channel for cleaning fluid circulation, realizing the delivery of cleaning fluid from the circulation pump 8 to the constant temperature cleaning component 7.

[0042] The T-shaped base 501 has multiple fan-shaped mounting holes arranged in a circular array at its horizontal end. Multiple fan-shaped filter plates 503 are installed one-to-one on these holes, and the filter plates 503 are arranged at an angle of 30°-45°. This inclined arrangement increases the filtration area of ​​the filter plates 503, improving debris interception efficiency, and facilitates the scraper 704 in cleaning debris from the surface of the filter plates 503. Simultaneously, it allows debris to slide down to the outside of the isolation chamber 504 under gravity. The filter plates 503 are made of stainless steel filter mesh, with the mesh size set according to the size of the metal debris. This effectively intercepts metal debris and impurities falling during the worm gear cleaning process outside the isolation chamber 504, ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning fluid entering the circulation system and preventing debris from causing wear or blockage to the nozzle 706 and the circulation pump 8.

[0043] The constant temperature cleaning assembly 7 includes a sleeve 701 rotatably connected to the T-shaped seat 501. The sleeve 701 has an annular groove 702 that communicates with the three-way hole of the T-shaped seat 501. The sleeve 701 is connected to two sets of symmetrically arranged connecting pipes 705 through the annular groove 702. Multiple nozzles 706 on the connecting pipes 705 spray and clean the turbine components in the drain plate 3.

[0044] The constant temperature cleaning assembly 7 also includes two L-shaped connecting rods 703 symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the sleeve 701. The L-shaped connecting rods 703 are connected to the scrapers 704 arranged at an inclination. The end edge of the scraper 704 is slidably connected to the fan-shaped filter plate 503. The L-shaped connecting rods 703 are wound with spiral heating wires, and the end face of the scraper 704 is provided with heating wires distributed in a U-shape.

[0045] Each group of connecting pipes 705 includes multiple pipe segments arranged at an angle, and the nozzles 706 on the multiple pipe segments are at angles parallel to the radial direction of the pipe segment.

[0046] The nozzles 706 on the two sets of multi-segment inclined connecting pipes 705 spray the drain plate 3 in all directions.

[0047] The connecting pipe 705 is connected to the linkage shaft 707. The upper part of the chamber 1 is equipped with a reduction motor 103. The rotating shaft of the reduction motor 103 is connected to the linkage shaft 707 through a connector. The reduction motor 103 drives the cleaning mechanism 4 to rotate on the T-shaped seat 501 through the linkage shaft 707.

[0048] It should be noted that the constant temperature cleaning component 7 is the core component for achieving efficient cleaning of the worm gear and constant temperature control of the cleaning fluid. It is mainly used to spray the temperature-controlled cleaning fluid onto the surface of the worm gear and simultaneously scrape away debris from the surface of the fan-shaped filter plate 503. Its structure includes a sleeve 701, an annular groove 702, an L-shaped connecting rod 703, a scraper 704, a connecting pipe 705, a nozzle 706, a linkage shaft 707, and a heating wire. All components work together in concert. Specific details are as follows: The sleeve 701 is a cylindrical hollow structure made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel. Its bottom sits on the mating head 502 of the T-shaped seat 501 and is rotatably connected to the mating head 502. The sleeve 701 can rotate flexibly around the mating head 502. The inner wall of the sleeve 701 is provided with an annular groove 702. The annular groove 702 is connected to the three-way hole of the T-shaped seat 501 (the liquid inlet hole 5011 and the liquid outlet hole 5021 are connected to each other), so that the cleaning liquid delivered by the circulating pump 8 can enter the annular groove 702 through the three-way hole, and then be distributed to each connecting pipe 705 through the annular groove 702 to achieve uniform delivery of the cleaning liquid.

[0049] Two sets of connecting pipes 705 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the sleeve 701. Each set of connecting pipes 705 is connected to the annular groove 702 of the sleeve 701. Each set of connecting pipes 705 includes multiple inclined pipe sections. The inclination angle of the pipe sections is reasonably set according to the shape of the drain plate 3 and the placement of the worm gear. The multiple pipe sections cooperate with each other to cover the entire area of ​​the drain plate 3. The rotating inclined pipe sections, under the action of centrifugal force, help to detach the cleaning fluid from the connecting pipes 705, thereby reducing the output power of the circulating pump 8. Each pipe section is equipped with multiple nozzles 706. The angle of each nozzle 706 is parallel to the radial direction of its respective pipe section, which can spray the cleaning fluid onto the surface, side, and bottom of the worm gear from multiple directions, increasing the contact area between the cleaning fluid and the worm gear, enhancing the cleaning effect, and reducing the consumption of cleaning fluid. The nozzles 706 on the two sets of multi-segment inclined connecting pipes 705 work together to spray and clean the worm gear components in the drain plate 3 in an all-round and thorough manner, effectively removing cutting oil stains, metal shavings and other impurities from the surface of the worm gear components.

[0050] Two L-shaped connecting rods 703 are symmetrically fixed to the bottom of the sleeve 701. The L-shaped connecting rods 703 are made of high-strength stainless steel, combining rigidity and toughness to withstand the force generated when the scraper 704 scrapes debris, while simultaneously driving the scraper 704 to rotate synchronously. Each L-shaped connecting rod 703 is connected to an inclined scraper 704. The inclination angle of the scraper 704 matches the inclination angle of the fan-shaped filter plate 503, ensuring that the edge of the scraper 704 can slide tightly against the surface of the fan-shaped filter plate 503. This effectively scrapes away metal debris adhering to the surface of the fan-shaped filter plate 503, eliminating the need for frequent manual shutdowns to clean the fan-shaped filter plate 503. This prevents debris from accumulating on the surface of the fan-shaped filter plate 503 and clogging the filter holes, and also improves the cleaning efficiency of the turbine components by eliminating the need for machine shutdown for cleaning.

[0051] To achieve constant temperature control of the cleaning fluid, a spiral heating wire is wound around the L-shaped connecting rod 703, and a U-shaped heating wire is arranged on the end face of the scraper 704. The heating wire is made of high-temperature and corrosion-resistant nickel-chromium alloy, featuring high heating efficiency, low energy consumption, and long service life. The spirally wound heating wire and the U-shaped heating wire can simultaneously stir and heat the cleaning fluid in the cleaning chamber 101 while the scraper 704 cleans the fan-shaped filter plate 503, ensuring uniform heating of the cleaning fluid. The controller can automatically adjust the heating power of the heating wire according to the actual temperature of the cleaning fluid, keeping the temperature of the cleaning fluid within a set range (usually 40℃-60℃). This temperature range can effectively promote the activity of the cleaning agent in the cleaning fluid, accelerate the dissolution of oil stains on the surface of the worm gear, and at the same time avoid excessively high temperatures that cause the cleaning fluid to evaporate too quickly and the cleaning agent to become ineffective, or excessively low temperatures that affect the cleaning effect.

[0052] The interior of the chamber 1 is equipped with a cleaning chamber 101, the bottom of which is filled with cleaning fluid. A circulation pump 8 is installed at the bottom of the chamber 1, and a T-shaped tube 801 is installed at the bottom of the cleaning chamber 101. A sealing gasket is pressed between the horizontal end of the T-shaped tube 801 and the horizontal end of the T-shaped seat 501. One end of the T-shaped tube 801 is connected to the liquid inlet 5011, and the other end of the T-shaped tube 801 is connected to the liquid outlet of the circulation pump 8. The liquid inlet of the circulation pump 8 is located inside the isolation chamber 504.

[0053] The limiting and protective assembly 6 includes a cone top cover 602 that is detachably connected to the T-shaped seat 501. The cone top cover 602 is connected to a support rod 601 for supporting the drain plate 3. The diameter of the cone top cover 602 is larger than the diameter of the sleeve 701.

[0054] The cabin 1 is hinged with a hinged door 102, and a bracket 1021 and a telescopic rod 1022 are hinged on the hinged door 102. A sliding rod flush with the support rod 601 is provided on the back of the hinged door 102. A moving vehicle 2 is correspondingly matched with the hinged door 102. A liquid collection tank 202 and a frame rod 201 flush with the sliding rod are provided on the moving vehicle 2.

[0055] It should be noted that: The chamber 1 is a closed box structure made of stainless steel, featuring corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and easy cleaning. The interior of chamber 1 is divided into two functional areas: a cleaning chamber 101 and an isolation chamber 504. The cleaning chamber 101 is the main cleaning area, storing cleaning fluid at the bottom. A hinged door 102 is attached to one side of chamber 1. The hinged door 102 is a sealed design, ensuring the cleaning chamber 101 remains airtight when closed, preventing cleaning fluid from splashing, and facilitating the feeding and unloading of the tray 3. A bracket 1021 and a telescopic rod 1022 are hinged to the hinged door 102. The bracket 1021 supports the hinged door 102 when it is open, keeping it in a straight, open position. The telescopic rod 1022 assists in opening and closing the hinged door 102. A sliding rod, flush with the support rod 601, is located on the back of the hinged door 102, working in conjunction with the moving cart 2 to smoothly push and remove the tray 3.

[0056] The moving cart 2 is a movable load-bearing structure, on which a liquid collection tank 202 and a frame rod 201 flush with the slide rod are installed. The liquid collection tank 202 is used to collect the cleaning liquid dripping from the surface of the drain pan 3 when it is removed, so as to avoid waste of cleaning liquid and environmental pollution. After the frame rod 201 is aligned with the slide rod on the back of the flip door 102, a smooth pushing track can be formed, which makes it easy for the operator to push the drain pan 3 equipped with the worm gear into the cleaning chamber 101 or remove it from the cleaning chamber 101, reducing the difficulty of operation and improving the efficiency of operation.

[0057] The drain plate 3 is movably placed inside the cleaning chamber 101 and is made of a metal mesh plate. The mesh plate aperture is reasonably set according to the size of the worm gear component. It is necessary to ensure that the cleaning fluid can smoothly penetrate the drain plate 3 and fully contact the worm gear component, while preventing the worm gear component from falling out of the mesh. The size of the drain plate 3 is adapted to the cleaning chamber 101. Its bottom is set to correspond with the nozzle 706 and support rod 601 of the cleaning mechanism 4, ensuring that the nozzle 706 can spray the worm gear component inside the drain plate 3 in all directions, and the support rod 601 can stably support the drain plate 3 to prevent the drain plate 3 from shaking or shifting during the cleaning process.

[0058] Working principle: Preparation before cleaning: Classify the product parts and place them in the drain tray 3 according to their size, shape and material to avoid collision and squeezing, and ensure that the cleaning solution can fully contact the surface of the parts; mix the cleaning solution according to the product instructions and the oil and impurities of the parts, such as mixing the cleaning agent and water in a ratio of 1:2 to 1:30, and add the cleaning agent and water into the cleaning chamber 101. After confirming that the concentration is correct with a concentration detector, the machine can be turned on for cleaning.

[0059] Feeding: Open the flip door 102. During the flip-opening process, the legs of the bracket 1021 remain vertically downward under the action of gravity, so that the flip door 102 is supported by the bracket 1021 in a straight opening shape. Align the frame rod 201 of the moving vehicle 2 with the sliding rod of the flip door 102, and then push the drain plate 3 onto the support rod 601 in the cleaning chamber 101 and close the flip door 102. Cleaning: The controller starts the geared motor 103, the circulating pump 8, and the heating wire. The geared motor 103 drives the two sets of connecting pipes 705 to rotate around the drain plate 3 through the linkage shaft 707. This causes multiple inclined pipe sections and nozzles 706 on the connecting pipes 705 to spray and clean the components inside the drain plate 3 in all directions. At the same time, the two connecting pipes 705 synchronously drive the sleeve 701 to rotate on the T-shaped seat 501. The two L-shaped connecting rods 703 at the bottom of the sleeve 701 scrape the metal debris particles on the fan-shaped filter plate 503 on the isolation chamber 504 through the scraper 704. Since the upper part of the isolation chamber 504 and the fan-shaped filter plate 503 are inclined, the metal debris particles scraped by the scraper 704 fall to the periphery of the isolation chamber 504 under the action of gravity and centrifugal force, reducing the situation where the liquid pumping efficiency of the circulating pump 8 is low due to the debris deposited on the fan-shaped filter plate 503, which affects the spray cleaning efficiency. During the rotation of the sleeve 701, the spiral heating wire wound on the L-shaped connecting rod 703 and the U-shaped heating wire on the scraper 704 stir and heat the cleaning fluid in the cleaning chamber 101, so that the cleaning fluid in the cleaning chamber 101 is heated evenly. This avoids the low efficiency and high power of traditional fixed heating rods heating in a fixed area, and also achieves a good heating and constant temperature effect without the need to add too many electric heating components. The heated cleaning fluid helps to dissolve the oil stains on the parts that need to be cleaned, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0060] Material removal: After cleaning, open the flip door 102, take out the drain plate 3, and complete the cleaning operation of turbine and other parts.

[0061] In summary, this automatic worm gear cleaning device with cleaning fluid recycling function aims to solve the technical pain points of existing worm gear cleaning processes, such as cleaning fluid waste, metal debris clogging affecting cleaning efficiency, and uneven cleaning temperature leading to incomplete oil dissolution. It achieves automated, efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly cleaning of worm gear components, suitable for batch cleaning of various small and medium-sized worm gears, gears, and other metal parts. It is particularly suitable for cleaning worm gear parts with metal debris and cutting oil after machining, and can be widely used in industries such as machinery manufacturing, automotive parts processing, and precision instrument assembly. Its overall structure is compact and easy to operate. The core of its design lies in the coordinated operation of the cleaning mechanism 4 and the circulation system, which ensures both cleaning effectiveness and closed-loop recycling of the cleaning fluid, reducing production costs and environmental impact.
