Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of processing equipment, in particular to a wheel cleaning device of a wheeled transport robot used for wheel cleaning. [Background technology]
[0002] With the development of automatic warehousing technology in the industrial field, wheeled handling robots are widely used in the production material handling industry because of their flexibility, unmanned operation and high transportation efficiency. Especially in the field of electronic equipment production, they have played a huge role. They are generally used in clean rooms with high cleanliness requirements. However, since the wheeled handling robots enter and exit the warehouse, the path will pass through areas with low cleanliness. After a period of use, the power wheels of the wheeled handling robots will inevitably be contaminated with dust and dirt. In order to maintain the cleanliness of the production area, the wheels of the wheeled handling robots need to be cleaned regularly. In the prior art, a powerful air gun is used to blow and wash the wheels in a specific area. Because the dirt has a certain viscosity, the wind blowing effect is limited, and a separate enclosed space needs to be opened for cleaning, which occupies a large area and has low cleaning efficiency. In addition, the wind blowing speed is also slow, and the wind blowing is local, so the cleaning effect is relatively poor. [Contents of the utility model]

[0045] In the present embodiment, the wheeled robot includes a vehicle wheel. During cleaning, the vehicle wheel enters the area of the cleaning part 4 along the upper slope part 1, and the machine equipment inside the cleaning part 4 is started. During the forward movement of the vehicle wheel, the cleaning brush 414 inside the driven transmission mechanism is driven by the active transmission mechanism to rotate, so that the cleaning brush 414 automatically cleans the vehicle tire.

[0047] When drying, the moisture on the surface of the vehicle wheel is first dried by the fan drying mechanism 504 arranged at both ends of the drying bracket 5, or the moisture on the surface of the vehicle wheel is blown into the drying mesh support body 501, and then the silica gel mud water-absorbing hard plate 503 absorbs the mud on the surface of the vehicle wheel and discharges it into the drying mesh support body 501.
[0048] In the present embodiment, a cleaning brush 414 is used for rotating cleaning. There is running water under the cleaning brush 414. The cleaning brush 414 is wet and has strong cleaning power. The wheels of the transport robot stop for a while when passing through the cleaning area. The cleaning brush 414 cleans it, and then passes through the soft hair area to wipe off the water, and blows the wheel dry with the wind knife. The wheels of the transport robot only need to pass through this cleaning area and stop for a while to complete the cleaning of the wheels. The speed is fast.
[0049] Two silica gel mud water-absorbing hard plates 503 are laid on the surface of the drying area 5, and fan drying mechanisms 504 are installed on both sides to effectively dry the AGV wheels. A mesh support body 501 is designed at the bottom, which can collect water from the wheels to prevent it from leaking on the ground. The drying mesh support body 501 is welded as a whole by stainless steel plates, with 10mm stainless steel welded on the four sides, 9 reinforcing ribs in the middle, and a whole mesh plate welded at the bottom, with high overall strength and large load-bearing capacity.
