Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of cutting tool processing, specifically an ultrasonic cleaning device for cutting tool processing. Background Technology

[0002] Ultrasonic cleaning devices for cutting tools are specialized equipment that utilizes high-frequency physical vibration to achieve efficient and deep cleaning. Their core principle involves an ultrasonic generator driving a transducer at the bottom of the cleaning tank, generating tens of thousands of high-frequency vibrations per second in the water, thus exciting a large number of micron-sized cavitation bubbles. These bubbles burst instantly on the tool surface, releasing localized high-pressure shock waves that can penetrate even the most minute corners of the tool, such as complex grooves and internal cooling holes, powerfully stripping away cutting oil, emulsions, and metal debris adhering to the surface. This achieves rapid, uniform, and thorough cleaning without damaging the cutting edge, making it particularly suitable for the batch cleaning of tools with complex structures.

[0003] Patent document CN113894107B describes an ultrasonic cleaning device for vacuum-coated PVD-coated cutting tools, which relates to the field of cutting tool processing equipment technology. Support feet are fixed at the four corners of the lower surface of the worktable, and an ultrasonic cleaner is fixed on one side of the upper surface of the worktable. A support frame is provided on the outer side of the ultrasonic cleaner. A left limiting plate is fixed to the left side wall of the horizontal plate in the support frame, and a right limiting plate is fixed to the right side of the lower surface of the horizontal plate in the support frame. A guide plate is fixed to the inner wall of the vertical plates on the front and rear sides of the support frame. The two ends of the lead screw are screwed to the limiting plates on both sides. The front and rear sides of the upper surface of the moving plate are fixedly connected to the nuts on the lead screws on the front and rear sides. The upper end of the connecting spring is fixed to the lower surface of the moving plate, and an electromagnet chuck is located on the lower side of the contact plate.

[0004] Existing ultrasonic cleaning devices have certain shortcomings in use. When cleaning knives, to prevent rust after cleaning, the knives need to be manually removed and dried again. The knives cannot be dried simultaneously during the cleaning process, resulting in limited functionality. Secondly, ultrasonic cleaning devices use cleaning fluid in conjunction with ultrasonic vibration to clean the knives, but they do not have a circulation filtration structure, which requires frequent replacement of the cleaning fluid, increasing their operating costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides an ultrasonic cleaning device for cutting tools, which solves the problem that existing ultrasonic cleaning devices require manual removal of the cleaned tools for secondary drying to prevent rust during cleaning, making it impossible to simultaneously dry the tools during the cleaning process, resulting in limited functionality. An ultrasonic cleaning device for cutting tools includes a fixed base, a drying tank, and a cleaning tank. The drying tank and the cleaning tank are both located on the upper inner side of the fixed base, with the drying tank located on one side of the cleaning tank. A movable device for use with the drying tank and the cleaning tank is movably installed on the upper outer surface of the fixed base. A basket for holding cutting tools is movably installed on the lower part of the movable device. A filter element is provided on the inner side of the fixed base, located below the cleaning tank. A limiting partition is spliced ​​and installed on the inner side of the basket. Elastic retaining strips are elastically installed at both ends of the limiting partition. The limiting partition and the basket are fixed together by the elastic retaining strips.

[0006] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the mover includes two sets of moving frames, which are fixed together by connecting rods. The upper end of the fixed base is provided with a sliding groove for use with the moving frames, and the bottom of the moving frames is provided with casters driven by a motor. By using the motor to drive the casters, the moving frames move on the sliding groove of the fixed base, thereby moving the basket between the drying tank and the washing tank.

[0007] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a winding rod is movably installed on both sides of the connecting rod between the two sets of movable frames. The winding rod and the basket are connected by a suspension cable. One end of the winding rod is driven by a motor and gears. When the winding rod rotates, it drives the suspension cable to perform winding or releasing operations. The suspension cable drives the basket to move up and down. When cleaning the blades, the basket is placed inside the cleaning tank. When the blades need to be dried after cleaning, the basket is lifted up by the suspension cable, so that the basket is removed from the cleaning tank. Then, the moving device is used to move the basket horizontally above the drying tank. The suspension cable is used to lower the basket so that the basket is placed inside the drying tank. During the drying operation, a cover plate is added to the top of the basket, the dryer is started, and the cleaned blades are dried in the drying tank.

[0008] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the upper part of the basket is provided with a cover plate, the outer surface of the basket has a mesh structure, and the inner wall of the cleaning tank is provided with a vibrating plate and a transducer. By using a high-frequency generator to drive the transducer, tens of thousands of ultrasonic waves per second are generated in the water. These sound waves generate countless tiny bubbles (cavitation bubbles) in the liquid. The bubbles pass through the basket, and these bubbles form and collapse violently in an instant. The resulting powerful local shock wave can impact every cutting edge, spiral groove and even the micro-internal cooling hole of the tool without dead angles, and completely remove the stubborn cutting oil and metal chips attached to them, so as to achieve efficient and non-destructive deep cleaning.

[0009] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the filter element is provided with a pump and a filter media box inside. The pump is fixedly installed on one side of the filter media box, and the filter media box of the pump can be used to circulate and filter the cleaning agent in the cleaning tank.

[0010] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the filter element and the cleaning tank are connected by a drain pipe. A water collection tray is provided on the upper part of the filter element. During operation, the pump is started, so that the water inlet in the middle of the water collection tray generates suction. The water collection tray draws the cleaning liquid after the cleaning tank is used into the interior of the filter element, so that the cleaning liquid passes through the filter media in the filter media box. The filter media in the filter media box removes impurities in the cleaning liquid. Then, the pump transports the filtered cleaning liquid through the drain pipe into the interior of the cleaning tank to complete the circulation filtration operation of the cleaning liquid.

[0011] As a further technical solution of the present invention, the surface of the water collection tray is a sloping structure, and the drain pipe is fixedly installed on one side of the filter element and the fixed base. The sloping structure avoids impurities in the cleaning liquid from remaining on the surface of the water collection tray.

[0012] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a spacer is fixedly installed on the upper part of one side of the outer surface of the limiting partition, and the surface of the spacer is provided with several sets of slots. An inclined slot is provided on the lower part of the other side of the outer surface of the limiting partition. During operation, several sets of limiting partitions are fixed to the inner side of the basket in sequence. The distance between the two sets of limiting partitions is adjusted according to the length of the cutter. One end of the cutter is inserted into the slot of the spacer, and the other end of the cutter is placed in the groove of the inclined slot, so that several sets of cutters are placed obliquely between the two sets of limiting partitions. With the setting of the spacer, a certain distance is maintained between the two sets of cutters to avoid the cutters from piling up.

[0013] As a further technical solution of the present invention, an air inlet is provided on one side of the drying tank and an exhaust outlet is provided at the bottom of the drying tank. A controller is fixedly installed at the front end of the fixed base. Gas enters into the interior of the drying tank through the air inlet on one side and is then discharged downward through the exhaust outlet, so that the gas fully contacts the blades in the drying tank and improves its drying effect.

[0014] As a further technical solution of the present invention, a drain plate is provided at the lower part of the fixed base, and a dryer is provided at the rear end of the fixed base.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: By setting up a mover and a hanging basket, the present invention can simultaneously dry the surface of the tool after the tool cleaning operation when the ultrasonic cleaning device for tool processing is used, thereby preventing tool corrosion and improving its performance. In daily operation, several sets of limiting partitions are sequentially fixed to the inside of the suspended platform. Elastic retaining strips are used to secure the limiting partitions. The distance between the two sets of limiting partitions is adjusted according to the length of the cutting tools. One end of the cutting tool is secured in the slot of the partition strip, and the other end is placed in the groove of the inclined retaining strip. This allows several sets of cutting tools to be placed diagonally between the two sets of limiting partitions. The partition strips ensure a certain distance between the two sets of cutting tools, preventing them from piling up. One end of the winding rod is driven by a motor and gears. When the winding rod rotates, it utilizes the winding... The boom drives the hoisting cable to rewind or release, and the hoisting cable drives the basket to move up and down. During the cleaning of the blades, the basket is placed inside the cleaning tank. When the cleaning of the blades is finished and drying is required, the basket is lifted up by the hoisting cable and moved out of the cleaning tank. Then, the basket is moved horizontally to the top of the drying tank by the movement device. The basket is then lowered by the hoisting cable and placed inside the drying tank. During the drying operation, a cover plate is placed on the top of the basket, the dryer is started, and the cleaned blades are dried in the drying tank. By incorporating a filter element, the ultrasonic cleaning device for tool processing is equipped with a cleaning fluid circulation filtration structure, which can effectively remove impurities from the cleaning fluid, enabling the cleaning fluid to be recycled and reducing the operating cost of the ultrasonic cleaning device for tool processing. In actual use, the pump is started, which creates suction at the inlet in the middle of the collection tray. The collection tray draws the cleaning liquid from the cleaning tank into the interior of the filter element, allowing the cleaning liquid to pass through the filter media in the filter media box. The filter media in the filter media box removes impurities from the cleaning liquid. Then, the pump transports the filtered cleaning liquid through the drain pipe back into the cleaning tank, completing the circulation and filtration of the cleaning liquid. The inclined structure prevents impurities in the cleaning liquid from remaining on the surface of the collection tray.

Elastic clips 19 are elastically installed at both ends of the limiting partition 13. The limiting partition 13 and the basket 5 are fixed together by the elastic clips 19.

[0020] The mover 4 includes two sets of moving frames 9, which are fixed together by connecting rods 14. The upper end of the fixed base 1 is provided with a sliding groove for use with the moving frames 9. The bottom of the moving frames 9 is provided with casters driven by motors. By using the motor to drive the casters, the moving frames 9 can move on the sliding groove of the fixed base 1, thereby moving the basket 5 between the drying tank 2 and the washing tank 3.

[0021] Two sets of movable frames 9 are movably installed on both sides of the connecting rod 14. The winding rod 10 and the basket 5 are connected by a suspension cable 11. One end of the winding rod 10 is driven by a motor and gears. When the winding rod 10 rotates, it drives the suspension cable 11 to perform winding or unwinding operations. The suspension cable 11 drives the basket 5 to move up and down. When cleaning the blades, the basket 5 is placed inside the cleaning tank 3. When the blades need to be dried after cleaning, the basket 5 is lifted up by the suspension cable 11, so that the basket 5 is removed from the cleaning tank 3. Then, the moving device 4 is used to move the basket 5 horizontally to the top of the drying tank 2. The suspension cable 11 is used to lower the basket 5 so that the basket 5 is placed inside the drying tank 2. During the drying operation, a cover plate 12 is placed on the top of the basket 5, the dryer is started, and the cleaned blades are dried in the drying tank 2.

The inner wall of the cleaning tank 3 is equipped with a vibrating plate and a transducer. By using a high-frequency generator to drive the transducer, tens of thousands of ultrasonic waves per second are generated in the water. These sound waves generate countless tiny bubbles (cavitation bubbles) in the liquid. The bubbles pass through the basket 5. These bubbles form and collapse violently in an instant. The resulting powerful local shock wave can impact every cutting edge, spiral groove and even the micro internal cooling hole of the tool without dead angles, and completely remove the stubborn cutting oil and metal chips attached to them, achieving efficient and non-destructive deep cleaning.

[0024] The filter element 6 and the cleaning tank 3 are connected by a drain pipe 17. A water collection tray 18 is provided on the upper part of the filter element 6. During operation, the pump 16 is started, which causes the water inlet in the middle of the water collection tray 18 to generate suction. The water collection tray 18 draws the cleaning liquid after the cleaning tank 3 is used into the interior of the filter element 6, so that the cleaning liquid passes through the filter media in the filter media box 15. The filter media in the filter media box 15 removes impurities in the cleaning liquid. Then, the pump 16 transports the filtered cleaning liquid through the drain pipe 17 into the interior of the cleaning tank 3 to complete the circulation filtration operation of the cleaning liquid.

[0025] The surface of the water collection tray 18 is a sloping structure. The drain pipe 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the filter element 6 and the fixed base 1. The sloping structure prevents impurities in the cleaning liquid from being retained on the surface of the water collection tray 18.

[0026] A spacer strip 20 is fixedly installed on the upper part of one side of the outer surface of the limiting partition 13. The surface of the spacer strip 20 is provided with several sets of slots. A sloping slot strip 21 is provided on the lower part of the outer surface of the other side of the limiting partition 13. During operation, several sets of limiting partitions 13 are fixed to the inner side of the basket 5 in sequence. The distance between the two sets of limiting partitions 13 is adjusted according to the length of the cutter. One end of the cutter is inserted into the slot of the spacer strip 20, and the other end of the cutter is placed in the groove of the sloping slot strip 21. This allows several sets of cutters to be placed diagonally between the two sets of limiting partitions 13.

Elastic retaining strips 19 are used to secure the limiting partitions 13. The distance between the two sets of limiting partitions 13 is adjusted according to the length of the cutting tool. One end of the cutting tool is secured in the slot of the retaining strip 20, and the other end is placed in the groove of the inclined retaining strip 21. This allows several sets of cutting tools to be placed obliquely between the two sets of limiting partitions 13. The retaining strips 20, in conjunction with the placement of the retaining strips 20, maintain a certain distance between the two sets of cutting tools, preventing them from piling up. One end of the winding rod 10 is driven by a motor and gears. When the winding rod 10 rotates... During operation, the winding rod 10 drives the lifting cable 11 to perform winding or releasing operations. The lifting cable 11 drives the basket 5 to move up and down. When cleaning the blades, the basket 5 is placed inside the cleaning tank 3. When the blades are finished cleaning and need to be dried, the basket 5 is lifted up by the lifting cable 11 so that the basket 5 is removed from the cleaning tank 3. Then, the moving device 4 is used to move the basket 5 horizontally above the drying tank 2.

During the drying operation, the cover plate 12 is added to the top of the basket 5, the dryer is started, and the cleaned blades are dried in the drying tank 2. Start the pump 16 to generate suction at the inlet in the middle of the water collection tray 18. The water collection tray 18 draws the cleaning liquid after the cleaning tank 3 is used into the interior of the filter element 6, allowing the cleaning liquid to pass through the filter media in the filter media box 15. The filter media in the filter media box 15 removes impurities from the cleaning liquid. Then, the pump 16 transports the filtered cleaning liquid through the drain pipe 17 back into the interior of the cleaning tank 3, completing the circulation filtration operation of the cleaning liquid. The inclined structure prevents impurities in the cleaning liquid from remaining on the surface of the water collection tray 18.
