Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of mechanical manufacturing, and in particular relates to a drying and wiping machine for columnar parts and a drying and wiping process. Background Technology

[0002] Cylindrical parts, serving as fundamental components in the mechanical manufacturing field and providing functions such as support, transmission, and guidance, are widely used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and mold manufacturing. Grinding or precision polishing are common finishing processes in the production of these parts. After grinding, the surface of the parts often adheres to a large amount of iron filings, grinding debris, and contaminants such as cutting oil, which must be removed through a cleaning process to ensure surface cleanliness and the accuracy requirements of subsequent assembly or inspection. Currently, the industry commonly uses water-based or oil-based cleaning solutions to spray or soak ground cylindrical parts, achieving good cleaning results. However, after cleaning, a large number of water droplets or cleaning solution films remain on the surface of the parts. If these are not dried promptly and thoroughly, the residual moisture can easily lead to rust and corrosion on the surface of the parts, affecting product quality and service life. Furthermore, it can cause pollution and safety hazards during subsequent packaging, transportation, or assembly.

[0003] In existing technologies, the drying of cylindrical parts after cleaning typically employs either a single air blowing method or manual wiping. However, while air blowing can remove most of the free liquid water from the part's surface, it is less effective at drying residual oil films, water stains, and moisture adhering to fine grooves. It often requires considerable time and high air pressure to barely achieve the desired dryness, resulting in high energy consumption and the potential for residual stains to harden and solidify on the part's surface, further complicating subsequent processing. Manual wiping, on the other hand, suffers from high labor intensity, low efficiency, and inconsistent wiping, making it unsuitable for the demands of large-scale automated production.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a columnar part drying and wiping machine and process that can automatically dry and wipe columnar parts after cleaning. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a drying and wiping machine and process for columnar parts, which can realize the integrated automatic drying and wiping of cleaned columnar parts, and has the advantages of high automation, significantly improved processing efficiency, and good consistency of drying quality.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A drying and wiping machine for columnar parts, comprising: A drying mechanism is provided with a drying station, and the drying mechanism is used to blow air onto a columnar part located at the drying station; A feeding mechanism is used to feed the columnar parts into the drying mechanism or to remove the columnar parts from the drying mechanism. The conveying mechanism is equipped with a wiping station. The conveying mechanism is used to receive the columnar parts taken out by the feeding mechanism from the drying mechanism and to convey the columnar parts to the wiping station. A wiping mechanism is provided near the wiping station, corresponding to the wiping station, for wiping the outer surface of the columnar part located at the wiping station; A straightening mechanism is provided at both ends of the drying station and the wiping station to confine the columnar part within the drying station and the wiping station.

[0007] Furthermore, the drying mechanism includes a water tank, inside which a drying area is formed. At both ends of the drying area, a first rotating assembly is provided, and a drying station is formed on the first rotating assembly. The first rotating assembly is used to drive the columnar part located at the drying station to rotate around its own central axis. A drying assembly is provided above the drying area, and the drying assembly includes an air nozzle, which blows air toward the columnar part and the drying area.

[0008] Furthermore, the air nozzle moves above the columnar part along the length of the columnar part.

[0009] Furthermore, the first rotating assembly includes two first rotating wheels that are close to each other but do not contact each other, and a first rotating motor that is motive-connected to the first rotating wheels. The drying station is formed between the two first rotating wheels. When the first rotating motor drives the first rotating wheels to rotate, the columnar part placed on the drying station rotates around its own central axis.

[0010] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a three-axis moving assembly and a gripper connected thereto. The three-axis moving assembly drives the gripper to feed the columnar part into the drying mechanism, or to remove the columnar part from the drying mechanism and place it on the conveying mechanism.

[0011] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism includes a bracket track, which includes at least two parallel racks. Each rack has multiple first slots, and the first slots on each rack correspond one-to-one with each other for supporting columnar parts. The racks are equipped with a conveying assembly, which includes a conveying drive and a conveying plate located near the side of the rack, and at least two connecting rods located between the conveying drive and the side of the conveying plate. The connecting rods have a fixed shaft and a rotating shaft at both ends, respectively. The fixed shaft is connected to the conveying drive, and the rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the side of the conveying plate. The conveying plate has at least one second slot, and the conveying drive is used to drive the rotating shaft to rotate around the fixed shaft so that the conveying plate rotates relative to the rack. The columnar part placed on the first slot is conveyed to the next adjacent first slot through the second slot.

[0012] Furthermore, the wiping mechanism includes a second rotating assembly, which forms the wiping station for supporting and driving the columnar part to rotate around its own central axis; a wiping assembly is provided above the second rotating assembly, and the wiping assembly and the second rotating assembly can move closer or further apart in the vertical direction; a winding assembly is provided near the wiping assembly, the winding assembly including an unwinding roller and a winding roller, the unwinding roller being provided with a cloth roll, the wiping cloth of the cloth roll passing around the lower end of the wiping assembly and being wound into the winding roller, the wiping assembly driving the wiping cloth to adhere to the outer surface of the columnar part in the rotating state.

[0013] Furthermore, the wiping mechanism also includes a movable frame, on which the wiping assembly and the winding assembly are mounted. The movable frame is used to drive the wiping assembly to move laterally along the length direction of the columnar part.

[0014] Furthermore, the wiping assembly includes a wiping fixing frame disposed on the movable frame and a wiping lifting frame disposed on the wiping fixing frame in a height-adjustable manner. The lower end of the wiping lifting frame is provided with a wiping roller shaft, and the wiping cloth passes around the wiping roller shaft.

[0015] Furthermore, the second rotating assembly is vertically and vertically positioned directly below the wiping assembly. The second rotating assembly includes two adjacent second rotating wheels and a second rotating motor for driving the second rotating wheels to rotate. A wiping station for supporting the columnar part is formed between the two second rotating wheels. When the second rotating motor drives the second rotating wheels to rotate, the columnar part placed on the wiping station rotates around its own central axis.

[0016] This invention also provides a drying and wiping process for columnar parts, comprising: S1: The feeding mechanism feeds the cylindrical parts to the drying station of the drying mechanism; S2: The alignment mechanism aligns and limits the cylindrical parts from both ends of the drying station; S3: The first rotating component of the drying mechanism drives the columnar part to rotate around its own central axis at the drying station, and the air nozzle of the drying mechanism blows air onto the rotating columnar part. S4: The loading mechanism takes the cylindrical parts out of the drying station and places them on the handling mechanism; S5: The transport mechanism moves the cylindrical parts to the wiping station; S6: The alignment mechanism aligns and limits the cylindrical parts from both ends of the wiping station; S7: The second rotating component of the wiping mechanism drives the columnar part to rotate around its own central axis at the wiping station, and the wiping component of the wiping mechanism drives the wiping cloth to adhere to the outer surface of the rotating columnar part.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention achieves a fully automated process for cleaning cylindrical parts by coordinating a drying mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a conveying mechanism, and a wiping mechanism, sequentially completing air drying, station transfer, and surface wiping. A first rotating component inside the water tank works in conjunction with the air nozzle of the drying component to achieve uniform, all-around blowing on the circumferential surface of the cylindrical parts. A three-axis moving component drives the grippers to move in multiple directions, enabling automated loading and unloading and seamless inter-process connections. A second rotating component, in conjunction with a winding component, automatically unwinds and winds the wiping cloth, creating continuous relative friction between the cloth and the part surface. This invention enables automated drying and wiping of cleaned cylindrical parts, offering advantages such as high automation, significantly improved processing efficiency, and consistent drying quality.

[0023] See appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 9 The figure shows a specific embodiment of the columnar part drying and wiping machine and drying and wiping process provided by the present invention.

[0024] See appendix Figure 1 The columnar parts drying and wiping machine includes: Drying mechanism 1, the drying mechanism 1 is provided with a drying station 121, the drying mechanism 1 is used to blow air on the columnar part 5 located at the drying station 121; The feeding mechanism 2 is used to feed the columnar part 5 into the drying mechanism 1, or to remove the columnar part 5 from the drying mechanism 1. The conveying mechanism 3 is provided with a wiping station 411 near the conveying mechanism 3. The conveying mechanism 3 is used to receive the columnar part 5 taken out by the feeding mechanism 2 from the drying mechanism 1 and to transport the columnar part 5 to the wiping station 411. Wiping mechanism 4 is provided corresponding to wiping station 411 and is used to wipe the outer surface of columnar part 5 located on wiping station 411. The alignment mechanism 140 is provided at both ends of the drying station 121 and the wiping station 411, and is used to confine the columnar part 5 within the drying station 121 and the wiping station 411.

[0025] See appendix Figure 1In the above embodiment, the feeding mechanism 2 feeds the columnar part 5, which has been cleaned in the previous process, onto the drying station 121 of the drying mechanism 1. The alignment mechanism 140 at the drying station 121 moves close to the columnar part 5 at both ends to align and position the columnar part 5, preventing the columnar part 5 from moving axially. The drying mechanism 1 blows air onto the columnar part 5 located at the drying station 121 to blow away the water droplets on the columnar part 5. Then, the feeding mechanism 2 feeds the columnar part 5 in the drying station 121 onto the conveying mechanism 3. The conveying mechanism 3 conveys the columnar part 5 to the wiping station 411. The alignment mechanism 140 at the wiping station 411 moves close to the columnar part 5 at both ends to align and position the columnar part 5. The wiping mechanism 4 wipes the outer surface of the columnar part 5 located at the wiping station 411. In this embodiment, the coordinated operation of the drying mechanism 1, the feeding mechanism 2, the conveying mechanism 3 and the wiping mechanism 4 enables the columnar part 5 to automatically complete the entire process of air drying, station transfer and surface wiping after cleaning. This makes the entire drying process do not require manual intervention, has a high degree of automation, significantly improves processing efficiency, and effectively avoids secondary contamination or damage to the parts during the transfer process.

[0026] See appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 In the above embodiment, the drying mechanism 1 includes a water tank 110, and a drying area 111 is formed inside the water tank 110. First rotating components 120 are provided at both ends of the drying area 111, and drying stations 121 are formed on the first rotating components 120. The first rotating components 120 are used to drive the columnar part 5 located on the drying station 121 to rotate around its own central axis. A drying component 130 is provided above the drying area 111, and the drying component 130 includes an air nozzle 131 that blows air towards the columnar part 5 and the drying area 111. In this embodiment, the two ends of the columnar part 5 are mounted on the drying station 121, the first rotating components 120 drive the columnar part 5 to rotate, and the air nozzle 131 above the drying area 111 blows air towards the columnar part 5. Preferably, the drying assembly 130 is provided with three air nozzles 131. The first air nozzle 131 is vertically downward directly above the columnar part 5, and the other two air nozzles 131 are on both sides of the first air nozzle 131 and are inclined towards the columnar part 5. During the rotation of the columnar part 5, air is blown onto it. While rotating and supported, the columnar part 5 is covered by the airflow, and water droplets adhering to it are blown into the drying area 111 of the water tank 110, avoiding secondary pollution caused by water splashing. The bottom of the drying area 111 has an inverted conical structure, and the water droplets blown into the drying area 111 eventually converge at the connected water outlet and are discharged outwards. In this embodiment, the first rotating assemblies 120 at both ends can move closer or further apart to support columnar parts 5 of different lengths.

[0027] See appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 In the above embodiment, the air nozzle 131 moves above the columnar part 5 along the length of the columnar part 5. In this embodiment, the air nozzle 131 is only configured to blow air onto a portion of the columnar part 5, and is driven by a linear guide rail to move along the columnar part 5 to achieve dynamic blowing of the entire surface with full coverage.

[0028] See appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3 In the above embodiment, the first rotating assembly 120 includes two first rotating wheels 122 that are close to each other but do not contact each other, and a first rotating motor 123 that is driven by the first rotating wheels 122. A drying station 121 is formed between the two first rotating wheels 122. When the first rotating motor 123 drives the first rotating wheels 122 to rotate, the columnar part 5 placed on the drying station 121 rotates around its own central axis. In the embodiment, the two first rotating wheels 122 rotate in the same direction under the drive of the first rotating motor 123. The V-shaped drying station 121 formed between the two first rotating wheels 122 provides stable support for the columnar part 5, so that the columnar part 5 can rotate smoothly around its own central axis while being stably supported on the drying station 121. This facilitates the airflow from the air nozzle 131 to uniformly blow the entire circumferential surface of the columnar part 5 without obstruction, overcoming the defect of contact dead angles in traditional support methods.

[0029] See appendix Figure 4 In the above embodiment, the feeding mechanism 2 includes a three-axis moving component 210 and a gripper 220 connected thereto. The three-axis moving component 210 drives the gripper 220 to feed the columnar part 5 into the drying mechanism 1, or to take the columnar part 5 out of the drying mechanism 1 and place it on the conveying mechanism 3.

[0030] See appendix Figure 5 and attached Figure 6In the above embodiment, the conveying mechanism 3 includes a bracket track 310, which includes at least two parallel racks 311. Each rack 311 is provided with multiple first slots 312, and the first slots 312 on each rack 311 correspond one-to-one with each other to cooperate in supporting the columnar part 5. The rack 311 is provided with a conveying assembly 320, which includes a conveying drive member 321 and a conveying plate 322 provided near the side of the rack 311, and at least two connecting rods 32 provided between the side of the conveying drive member 321 and the side of the conveying plate 322. 3; The two ends of the connecting rod 323 are respectively provided with a fixed shaft 3231 and a rotating shaft 3232. The fixed shaft 3231 is connected to the transport drive 321, and the rotating shaft 3232 is rotatably connected to the side of the transport plate 322. The transport plate 322 is provided with at least one second bayonet 324. The transport drive 321 is used to drive the rotating shaft 3232 to rotate around the fixed shaft 3231 so that the transport plate 322 rotates relative to the frame 311. The columnar part 5 placed on the first bayonet 312 is transported to the next adjacent first bayonet 312 through the second bayonet 324. In this embodiment, each rack 311 is provided with multiple locking blocks at equal intervals. The locking blocks have a structure that is high at both ends and low in the middle, so that they form a V-shaped or U-shaped first locking slot 312 in the middle position. The conveying drive 321 is a motor. When the conveying drive 321 drives the conveying plate 322 to rotate, the movement trajectory of the second locking slot 324 on the conveying plate 322 is circular. The positions of two adjacent first locking slots 312 on the rack 311 are on the arc of this circular trajectory. The second locking slot 324 conveys the columnar part 5 located in the previous first locking slot 312 to the next first locking slot 312. During this process, the previous first locking slot 312 will be vacated and can be regarded as the target point for conveying by the previous second locking slot 324, thereby realizing continuous equidistant step conveying. Since the position of the locking blocks on the rack 311 is fixed, there will be no asynchronous conveying on both sides during the conveying process, effectively avoiding the risk of parts tilting and falling due to asynchronous conveying on both sides, and improving the conveying stability. In this embodiment, the frames 311 can be close to or far from each other to support columnar parts 5 of different lengths.

[0031] See appendix Figure 7 and attached Figure 8In the above embodiment, the wiping mechanism 4 includes a second rotating component 410, which forms a wiping station 411 for supporting and driving the columnar part 5 to rotate around its own central axis; a wiping component 420 is provided above the second rotating component 410, and the wiping component 420 and the second rotating component 410 can be close to or far from each other in the vertical direction; a winding component 430 is provided near the wiping component 420, which includes an unwinding roller 431 and a winding roller 432. The unwinding roller 431 is provided with a cloth roll 433, and the wiping cloth 4331 of the cloth roll 433 passes around the lower end of the wiping component 420 and is wound into the winding roller 432. The wiping component 420 drives the wiping cloth 4331 to adhere to the outer surface of the columnar part 5 in the rotating state. In this embodiment, a take-up roller 432 and an unwind roller 431 are positioned above the wiping assembly 420. The take-up roller 432 is connected to a take-up motor. The wiping cloth 4331 of the cloth roll 433 at one end of the unwind roller 431 passes downwards around the lower end of the wiping assembly 420 and then rolls back upwards to the take-up roller 432. When the take-up motor is working, it pulls the wiping cloth 4331, updating the contact area between the wiping cloth 4331 and the columnar part 5. The second rotating assembly 410 supports the columnar part 5 and rotates it, thereby achieving automatic circumferential wiping of the outer surface of the columnar part 5. During the wiping process, the take-up assembly 430 remains stationary, and only the second rotating assembly 410 drives the columnar part 5 to rotate to achieve wiping. After wiping several columnar parts 5, the take-up motor drives the wiping cloth 4331 to the next position to continue the next wiping action.

[0032] See appendix Figure 7 and attached Figure 8 In the above embodiment, the wiping mechanism 4 further includes a movable frame 440, on which the wiping assembly 420 and the winding assembly 430 are disposed. The movable frame 440 is used to drive the wiping assembly 420 to move laterally along the length direction of the columnar part 5. In this embodiment, since the length of the columnar part 5 is uncertain, in order to improve compatibility and facilitate full-length wiping of columnar parts 5 of different lengths, in this embodiment, the wiping assembly 420 achieves sequential coverage of each region along the axial direction of the columnar part 5 by moving laterally along the length direction of the columnar part 5.

[0033] See appendix Figure 9 In the above embodiment, the wiping assembly 420 includes a wiping fixing frame 421 mounted on the movable frame 440 and a wiping lifting frame 422 mounted on the wiping fixing frame 421. The lower end of the wiping lifting frame 422 is provided with a wiping roller shaft 423, and the wiping cloth 4331 passes around the wiping roller shaft 423. In this embodiment, the wiping cloth 4331 passes around the wiping roller shaft 423, and the wiping cloth 4331 can stably press against the surface of the columnar part 5 during vertical lifting, precisely controlling the contact and disengagement timing of the wiping cloth 4331 to ensure the smoothness of the wiping action.

[0034] See appendix Figure 5 and attached Figure 7 In the above embodiment, the second rotating assembly 410 is vertically and flexibly positioned directly below the wiping assembly 420. The second rotating assembly 410 includes two adjacent second rotating wheels 412 and a second rotating motor 413 for driving the second rotating wheels 412 to rotate. A wiping station 411 for supporting the columnar part 5 is formed between the two second rotating wheels 412. When the second rotating motor 413 drives the second rotating wheels 412 to rotate, the columnar part 5 placed on the wiping station 411 rotates around its own central axis. In this embodiment, the columnar part 5 can be conveniently placed between the two second rotating wheels 412 and driven to rotate by the second rotating motor 413, which facilitates stable support and reliable transmission for the columnar part 5.

[0035] This embodiment also provides a drying and wiping process for columnar parts, including: S1: The feeding mechanism 2 feeds the columnar part 5 to the drying station 121 of the drying mechanism 1; S2: The alignment mechanism 140 aligns and limits the columnar part 5 from both ends of the drying station 121; S3: The first rotating component 120 of the drying mechanism 1 drives the columnar part 5 to rotate around its own central axis on the drying station 121, and the air nozzle 131 of the drying mechanism 1 blows air onto the columnar part 5 in the rotating state. S4: The feeding mechanism 2 takes the columnar part 5 out of the drying station 121 and places it on the conveying mechanism 3; S5: The conveying mechanism 3 moves the cylindrical part 5 to the wiping station 411; S6: The alignment mechanism 140 aligns and limits the columnar part 5 from both ends of the wiping station 411; S7: The second rotating component 410 of the wiping mechanism 4 drives the columnar part 5 to rotate around its own central axis at the wiping station 411, and the wiping component 420 of the wiping mechanism 4 drives the wiping cloth 4331 to adhere to the outer surface of the columnar part 5 in the rotating state.

[0036] In summary, this embodiment provides a columnar part drying and wiping machine. Through the coordinated operation of the drying mechanism 1, the feeding mechanism 2, the conveying mechanism 3, and the wiping mechanism 4, the columnar part 5 automatically completes the entire process of air drying, station transfer, and surface wiping after cleaning. By setting a first rotating component 120 inside the water tank 110 to work with the air nozzle 131 of the drying component 130 to blow air, the circumferential surface of the columnar part 5 is uniformly swept in all directions. The three-axis moving component 210 drives the gripper 220 to move in multiple directions, realizing automated loading and unloading and inter-process connection. The second rotating component 410 works with the winding component 430 to realize the automatic unwinding and winding of the wiping cloth 4331, so that the wiping cloth 4331 generates continuous relative friction with the surface of the part. This embodiment can realize the integrated automated drying and wiping of the cleaned columnar part 5, with the advantages of high automation, significantly improved processing efficiency, and good consistency of drying quality.

[0037] The embodiments described above are merely one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention.
