[0011] In the above technical solution, preferably, the bottom of the mounting box is provided with a mounting pipe, the surface of the mounting pipe is connected to a uniformly distributed diverter pipe, the surface of the diverter pipe is connected to a uniformly distributed fixing pipe, the other end of the fixing pipe is connected to the adjacent connecting cavity, one end of the mounting pipe is connected to a three-way solenoid valve, one end of the three-way solenoid valve is used to input compressed air, and the other end of the three-way solenoid valve is used to input heating gas.

[0012] In the above technical solution, preferably, the surfaces of the cleaning chamber and the ultrasonic cleaner are provided with an outlet pipe for discharging wastewater and an inlet pipe for introducing cleaning water.

[0018] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0020] like Figures 1-8 A cleaning mechanism for gear manufacturing is shown, including a base plate 1, a placement module 2 is provided on the top of the base plate 1, and a cleaning module 3 is provided on the top of the base plate 1 located on one side of the placement module 2. The placement module 2 includes an electric slide rail 203 disposed on the top of the base plate 1. A mounting platform 201 is disposed on the top of the electric slide rail 203. A first motor 213 is disposed on the top of the mounting platform 201. The output shaft of the first motor 213 passes through the mounting platform 201 and is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 212. The lower end of the threaded rod 212 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting platform 201. A connecting plate 211 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded rod 212. The other end of the connecting plate 211 passes through the mounting platform 201 and is fixedly connected to a placement component for placing gears.

[0021] By utilizing the forward and reverse rotation of the output shaft of the first motor 213, the threaded rod 212 can be driven to rotate in both directions, thereby achieving the effect of the connecting plate 211 driving the placement component to move up and down.

[0022] like Figures 1-8As shown, the placement assembly includes a mounting plate 210 fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting plate 211. Two mounting brackets 209 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 210 and are symmetrically distributed. Placement blocks 208 are evenly distributed and fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two mounting brackets 209.

[0023] The placement assembly also includes several placement plates 202. The top of the placement plate 202 is provided with evenly distributed drive shafts 206. The bottom of the drive shaft 206 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 204. The lower end of the rotating shaft 204 passes through the placement plate 202 and is fixedly connected to evenly distributed drive plates 205. The surface of the placement plate 202 is provided with through holes 207 that are staggered with the drive shafts 206.

[0024] The drive shaft 206 on the placement plate 202 is used to install the manufactured gear. The placement plate 202 is then placed between two mounting brackets 209 and placed on it by the placement block 208. At the same time, the gear is moved up and down by the cooperation of the first motor 213, the threaded rod 212 and the connecting plate 211. The position of the mounting table 201 can be changed by the electric slide rail 203 to adjust the position of the gear so as to carry out different cleaning processes.

[0025] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the cleaning module 3 includes a mounting box 301 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1. A partition is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the mounting box 301. One side of the partition forms a mounting cavity with the interior of the mounting box 301. An ultrasonic cleaner 302 is installed inside one of the mounting cavities. A cleaning cavity 303 is formed between the other side of the partition and the interior of the mounting box 301.

[0026] The bottom of the mounting box 301 is provided with a uniformly distributed third motor 313. The output shaft of the third motor 313 is fixedly connected to a rotating shell 316. The top of the rotating shell 316 is connected to a connecting pipe 312. The upper end of the connecting pipe 312 extends into the interior of the cleaning chamber 303. The position of the connecting pipe 312 corresponds to that of the through hole 207, and the diameter of the connecting pipe 312 is smaller than the diameter of the through hole 207. The surface of the connecting pipe 312 is connected to a uniformly distributed cleaning strip 318. The cleaning strip 318 is hollow, and the end of the cleaning strip 318 away from the connecting pipe 312 has a discharge hole.

[0027] Specifically, the cleaning strip 318 is a heat-resistant silicone material component, and its hollow design enables it to have good deformation ability; By starting the third motor 313, the rotating shell 316 can be rotated, which in turn can rotate the connecting pipe 312. As the placement module 2 places the gear inside the cleaning chamber 303, the centrifugal force of the rotating connecting pipe 312 can drive the cleaning strip 318 to rotate, thereby further cleaning the surface of the gear. In addition, the cleaning water inside the cleaning chamber 303 can be disturbed, causing the cleaning water to rotate and drive the drive plate 205 to rotate the rotating shaft 204, thereby driving the drive shaft 206 to rotate, thus achieving the purpose of driving the gear to rotate. During this process, the cleaning strip 318 can effectively clean the surface of the gear, and the soft cleaning strip 318 can rise into the inside of the gear tooth groove for cleaning.

[0028] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the bottom of the mounting box 301 is fixedly connected with uniformly distributed fixed shells 315, the rotating shell 316 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the adjacent fixed shell 315, the inner side of the fixed shell 315 is provided with a connecting cavity 319, the surface of the rotating shell 316 is connected to an inlet tube 317, and the other end of the inlet tube 317 is connected to the connecting cavity 319.

[0029] The bottom of the mounting box 301 is provided with a mounting pipe 311. The surface of the mounting pipe 311 is connected to a uniformly distributed diversion pipe 314. The surface of the diversion pipe 314 is connected to a uniformly distributed fixed pipe. The other end of the fixed pipe is connected to the adjacent connecting cavity 319. One end of the mounting pipe 311 is connected to a three-way solenoid valve 310. One end of the three-way solenoid valve 310 is used to input compressed air, and the other end of the three-way solenoid valve 310 is used to input heating gas. The heating gas can be delivered by an external hot air source.

[0030] Both the cleaning chamber 303 and the ultrasonic cleaner 302 are equipped with an outlet pipe 309 for discharging wastewater and an inlet pipe 308 for introducing cleaning water.

[0031] First, the gear is placed inside the ultrasonic cleaner 302 through the placement module 2 for cleaning. After cleaning, it is transferred to the cleaning chamber 303 through the placement module 2 for secondary cleaning. During the startup of the third motor 313, compressed air is injected through the three-way solenoid valve 310. The compressed air can be introduced into the adjacent connecting cavity 319 through the mounting pipe 311, the diverting pipe 314 and the fixed pipe, and then introduced into the connecting pipe 312 through the inlet pipe 317. The connecting pipe 312 injects the compressed air into the cleaning strip 318 and finally discharges it through the discharge hole on the cleaning strip 318. The discharged air can be used to impact the residual dirt on the gear surface and remove dirt by means of air flotation. After cleaning, the wastewater can be discharged through the outlet pipe 309 so that new cleaning water can be introduced through the inlet pipe 308.

[0032] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the surface of the mounting box 301 has a waste discharge port 305 that aligns with the surface of the cleaning chamber 303. A second motor 304 is installed on one side of the mounting box 301. An adjusting screw 307 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 304. The other end of the adjusting screw 307 passes through the mounting box 301 and is rotatably connected to the surface of the partition. A scraper is threaded onto the surface of the adjusting screw 307. A guide rod 306 is fixedly connected to the surface of the partition. The other end of the guide rod 306 passes through the scraper and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning chamber 303.

[0033] By activating the second motor 304, the scum adhering to the inside of the cleaning chamber 303 during the air flotation process can be scraped off and discharged through the discharge port 305, reducing the impact of residue adhering inside the cleaning chamber 303 on subsequent cleaning. Under normal conditions, the scraper is in contact with the surface of the partition plate, while both ends are in contact with the inner wall of the cleaning chamber 303. After the sewage is discharged, the position of the scraper can be adjusted so that it moves towards the discharge port 305 to clean the internal scum.

[0034] A method for cleaning gears includes the following steps: S1. Install the gears sequentially on the placement assembly, and move the gears by moving the mounting platform 201 via the electric slide rail 203; S2. Using the placement module, place the placed gear inside the ultrasonic cleaner 302 for initial cleaning; S3. After ultrasonic cleaning, the gear is transferred to the cleaning chamber 303 through the placement module for secondary cleaning. During this process, compressed gas is injected to achieve air flotation treatment. After cleaning, the wastewater is discharged and heated gas is introduced to dry the gear surface and reduce water stains. S4. The dried gear is transferred out of the cleaning chamber 303 through the placement module, and then the residual scum inside the cleaning chamber 303 is cleaned by the combined action of the second motor 304, the adjusting screw 307, the guide rod 306 and the scraper.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.
