Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chain cleaning equipment, in particular to an automatic chain cleaning equipment. Background Art

[0002] A forklift is a transport machine suitable for operating in narrow passages and limited spaces. It is widely used in the fields of petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, textile, military, paint, pigment, coal, etc. It can also be used in ports, railways, freight yards, warehouses and other places with relatively narrow working environments. Forklifts are generally used for loading and unloading, stacking, and handling. The use of forklifts can greatly improve work efficiency and reduce the labor intensity of workers. Therefore, it is very popular among workers in the transportation industry. Since the transmission chain plays an important transmission role in the working process of the forklift, the chain of the forklift needs to be kept in a good condition, so the chain needs to be cleaned frequently.

[0003] Existing chain cleaning devices, such as the invention patent with publication number CN108273792A, use detergent as raw material for cleaning the chain, and the technical scheme includes processes such as spraying, conveying and collecting the detergent. The main cleaning function is achieved by the detergent, but the detergent contains a large amount of pH regulating substances, hard water softeners, oxidants, enzymes and foaming agents.

[0004] However, since a large amount of detergent is used to clean the chain during cleaning, a large amount of foam and unpleasant irritating gas will be generated under the action of the foaming agent and oxidant in the detergent during chain cleaning, thereby affecting the working environment of the surrounding workers and also affecting the workers' judgment of the chain cleaning condition. Summary of the invention

[0005] The utility model aims at solving the problems that detergents will generate foam and unpleasant irritating gas during cleaning, thereby causing pollution to the working environment and making it impossible to judge the cleaning status of the chain, and provides an automatic chain cleaning device that does not use detergents.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: an automatic chain cleaning device, including a bracket, a cleaning structure is provided on the bracket, the cleaning structure includes an upper frame, the upper frame is hollow inside, a high-pressure steam generator is installed inside the upper frame, a leakage hole is provided on the lower side of the upper frame, and the air outlet of the high-pressure steam generator is connected to the leakage hole; a lubrication mechanism and a protection mechanism are also provided on the bracket, the protection mechanism is located at the chain outlet of the cleaning structure and extends to below the leakage hole in the cleaning structure, the lubrication mechanism is located at the chain outlet of the protection mechanism, and the chain is cleaned by high-temperature and high-pressure steam through the high-pressure steam generator and the leakage hole without using a detergent, thereby avoiding pollution to the working environment and also judging the cleaning condition of the chain.

[0007] Furthermore, the lubrication mechanism includes a chain and a lubrication assembly. The winding disk is connected to the chain and drives the chain to move. The chain passes under the leakage hole in the upper frame. One end of the chain passing through the upper frame is located below the protective mechanism. The chain is limited by the protective mechanism to prevent the chain from deviating from the cleaning position and causing incomplete cleaning.

[0008] Furthermore, the lubrication assembly includes a cover shell, and an oil spray device is symmetrically installed on both sides of the cover shell. The chain passes through the inside of the cover shell, and the chain is lubricated by the oil spray device to form a protective film to prevent rust from occurring on the chain surface.

[0009] Furthermore, the oil injection device includes oil injection ports, which are symmetrically installed on both sides of the cover and aimed at the chain. All the oil injection ports are connected to the oil pump. The lubricating oil on the chain surface can be evenly distributed through the spraying of the oil injection ports, thereby avoiding leaving dead corners for lubrication.

[0010] Furthermore, the protective mechanism includes a positioning assembly, which is installed on the upper side of the bracket. The positioning assembly includes a second clamp and a first clamp. The first clamp and the second clamp are both slidably installed on the bracket. The chain is positioned by the first clamp and the second clamp to prevent the chain from leaving the cleaning area.

[0011] Furthermore, the protection mechanism also includes a placement box, in which a control module is installed. The control module is electrically connected to the first clamp and the second clamp. The control module controls the first clamp and the second clamp to adapt to chains of different sizes, thereby improving the adaptability of the device.

[0012] Furthermore, a winding disk is installed at the chain outlet of the lubrication mechanism, and the winding disk is rotatably installed on the upper side of the bracket. One end of the chain is wound around the outer surface of the winding disk. The rotating sprocket of the winding disk drives the chain to be cleaned to move, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a wastewater recovery mechanism, which is located below the leakage hole. The wastewater recovery mechanism includes a wastewater box, which is fixedly installed below the leakage hole. A groove is provided on the upper surface of the wastewater box. The width of the groove on the upper surface of the wastewater box is greater than the width of the leakage hole. Water vapor is collected by the wastewater collection mechanism.

[0014] Furthermore, a circulating cooling water pipe is provided inside the waste water box, and the circulating cooling water pipe is located in the groove. The high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor is cooled into liquid through the circulating cooling water pipe, which is more conducive to the collection of water vapor.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention compared with the prior art are: the utility model achieves the cleaning of the chain by high-pressure steam without using detergents, and on the one hand, does not produce irritating odors and foam pollution to affect the external environment, and on the other hand, the steam can penetrate deeply into the gaps between the parts of the cleaned chain, and the cleaning is more thorough, while also enabling better observation of the cleaning condition of the chain.
