Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment, in particular to an engine piston ring cleaning equipment. Background Art

[0002] The piston ring used in the engine is a metal ring used to embed inside the piston groove. There are two types of piston rings: compression rings and oil rings. When the piston ring is used for a long time, a large amount of dirt will adhere to its upper and lower surfaces. At this time, the piston ring needs to be taken out and cleaned. The existing technology can be divided into physical and chemical methods for cleaning. Physical method: scrapers, shovels, brushes and other tools can be used to manually remove dirt on the surface of the piston ring; chemical method: use water and chemical cleaners to soak the piston ring, and then stir the piston ring soaked in water to separate the dirt on the surface of the piston ring from the piston ring.

[0003] However, manual operation to clean the piston ring not only has certain safety hazards and is prone to hand injuries, but is also time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. If chemical soaking methods are used, some dirt will still remain on the surface of the piston ring, resulting in incomplete cleaning of the piston ring. In the end, manual secondary cleaning is still required, which is inconvenient to use.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a kind of engine piston ring cleaning equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an engine piston ring cleaning device, comprising a workbench, a groove is provided in the middle of the upper end of the workbench, a filter screen is installed on the upper end surface of the groove, adjustment components are symmetrically installed on both sides of the upper end of the workbench, telescopic cylinders are symmetrically arranged on both sides of one end of the adjustment component, a clamping component is installed on the side of the adjustment component away from the telescopic cylinder, a driving component is installed on the upper end of the adjustment component, and a cleaning component is installed on one side of the driving component;

[0007] The clamping assembly comprises a connecting block and a clamping plate arranged on one side of the connecting block, a connecting shaft is installed in the middle of one end of the clamping plate, and a rotating gear is installed at the other end of the connecting shaft.

[0008] Based on the above features: when the piston ring of the engine needs to be cleaned, the telescopic cylinder can first push the two adjusting components to move towards each other, so that the clamping plates on one side of the connecting block are clamped and fixed from both sides of the piston ring. When the piston ring is clamped and fixed, it will be located below the cleaning component. At this time, the driving component can not only drive the cleaning component to descend and make the cleaning component fit against the upper surface of the piston ring, but also drive the cleaning component to rotate. During this process, water can be sprayed onto the surface of the piston ring, which facilitates the cleaning component to clean the upper surface of the piston ring during rotation.

[0009] Preferably, T-shaped slide grooves are symmetrically provided on both side surfaces of the workbench, a water pump is installed on one side of the workbench, and a water supply pipe is installed at the output end of the water pump.

[0010] Based on the above characteristics: when the telescopic cylinder pushes the two adjusting components to move towards each other, the T-shaped slide groove can guide and limit the adjusting components so that the adjusting components can keep moving horizontally. The suction end of the water pump is connected in the groove, which is convenient for the water pump to extract the accumulated water in the groove and then transport the water through the water supply pipe for spraying.

[0011] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes a fixed seat and a rodless cylinder installed on one side of the fixed seat, the rodless cylinder is slidably connected to the outside with a guide slider, and a support block is fixedly installed on one side surface of the guide slider.

[0012] Based on the above characteristics: after the rodless cylinder is started, it can drive the support block to move parallely through the guide slider, and the support block can synchronously drive the connection block and the splint to move.

[0013] Preferably, T-shaped sliding blocks are symmetrically installed on both sides of the bottom of the fixing seat, and convex teeth are symmetrically installed on both sides of the upper end of the fixing seat.

[0014] Based on the above characteristics: when the connecting block and the splint are displaced, the rotating gear will contact and mesh with the convex teeth. At this time, as the connecting block and the splint move, the rotating gear will be driven by the convex teeth to rotate, and the rotating gear will drive the splint to rotate synchronously through the connecting shaft.

[0015] Preferably, the driving assembly includes a top plate and a lifting cylinder installed at the lower end of one side of the top plate, a driving motor is installed at the upper end of the top plate, a driving gear is installed at the output end of the driving motor, and a bearing is installed in the middle of the side of the top plate away from the driving motor.

[0016] Based on the above features: the lifting cylinder can push the top plate to lift and lower, so that the top plate can drive the cleaning component to move synchronously. When the driving motor drives the active gear to rotate through the shaft at the output end, the active gear will drive the cleaning component to rotate.

[0017] Preferably, the cleaning assembly comprises a rotating rod and a cleaning plate installed at the lower end of the rotating rod, and a driven gear is installed externally at the upper end of the rotating rod.

[0018] Based on the above characteristics: when the driving gear rotates, the driven gear will also drive the rotating rod to rotate, and finally the rotating rod will also drive the cleaning plate to rotate to clean the surface of the piston ring.

[0019] Preferably, a hollow cavity is provided in the middle of the cleaning plate, a water leakage hole is provided on the lower end surface of the hollow cavity, and a brush is installed on the bottom surface of the cleaning plate.

[0020] Based on the above characteristics: when the water supply pipe drains water into the rotating rod, the discharged water will first flow into the hollow cavity and then spray out through the leakage hole. When the brush on the bottom of the cleaning plate contacts the surface of the piston ring, the rotating cleaning plate can use the brush and the sprayed water to clean the surface of the piston ring.

[0021] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0022] 1. When the piston ring of the engine needs to be cleaned, the clamping plates can be used to clamp and fix the piston ring from both sides, and then the lifting cylinder can drive the top plate and the rotating rod to descend, so that the cleaning plate fits the upper end surface of the piston ring. At the same time, the water pump can extract the accumulated water in the groove and drain the water to the inside of the rotating rod through the water supply pipe. At this time, the discharged water will first flow into the hollow cavity, and then will be sprayed out through the leakage hole. The driving motor drives the driving gear to rotate through the shaft at the output end. When the driving gear rotates, the driven gear will also drive the rotating rod and the cleaning plate to rotate. When the brush on the bottom of the cleaning plate contacts the surface of the piston ring, the rotating cleaning plate can use the brush and the sprayed water to clean the surface of the piston ring, which not only improves the cleaning efficiency, but also avoids the situation where the piston ring is not thoroughly cleaned and needs secondary cleaning.

[0023] 2. It is convenient to adjust the piston ring by turning it over. After the rodless cylinder is started, the guide slider can drive the support block to move in parallel, and the support block can synchronously drive the connection block and the clamping plate to move. At this time, the rotating gear will contact and mesh with the convex teeth. As the connection block and the clamping plate move, the rotating gear will be driven by the convex teeth to rotate 180 degrees, and the rotating gear will drive the clamping plate to rotate synchronously through the connecting shaft, so that the piston ring clamped in the middle of the clamping plate will rotate 180 degrees synchronously. At this time, the piston ring will flip over, so that the uncleaned side will flip to the upper end for cleaning. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0030] See attached Figure 1-4 The utility model provides an engine piston ring cleaning device, comprising a workbench 1, a groove 2 is provided in the middle of the upper end of the workbench 1, a filter screen 3 is installed on the upper end surface of the groove 2, adjustment components 4 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the upper end of the workbench 1, telescopic cylinders 5 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of one end of the adjustment component 4, a clamping component 6 is installed on the side of the adjustment component 4 away from the telescopic cylinder 5, a driving component 7 is installed on the upper end of the adjustment component 4, and a cleaning component 8 is installed on one side of the driving component 7;

[0031] The clamping assembly 6 includes a connecting block 61 and a clamping plate 62 arranged on one side of the connecting block 61 . A connecting shaft 63 is installed in the middle of one end of the clamping plate 62 , and a rotating gear 64 is installed at the other end of the connecting shaft 63 .

[0032] When it is necessary to clean the piston ring of the engine, the telescopic cylinder 5 can first push the two adjustment components 4 to move in opposite directions, so that the clamping plate 62 on one side of the connecting block 61 is clamped and fixed from both sides of the piston ring (the clamping plate 62 is set to a semi-arc structure, and the specific radius size can be set according to the radius of the piston ring, and the present application does not make specific restrictions). When the piston ring is clamped and fixed, it will be located below the cleaning component 8. At this time, the driving component 7 can not only drive the cleaning component 8 to descend, so that the cleaning component 8 fits the upper end surface of the piston ring, but also the driving component 7 can drive the cleaning component 8 to rotate. In this process, water can be sprayed on the surface of the piston ring to facilitate the cleaning component 8 to clean the piston ring during the rotation process. The upper surface is cleaned. After the upper surface of the piston ring is cleaned, the driving component 7 can drive the cleaning component 8 to rise, and then the adjusting component 4 can drive the connecting block 61 and the clamping plate 62 to translate. During this process, the rotating gear 64 will be driven to rotate 180 degrees, and the rotating gear 64 will drive the clamping plate 62 to rotate through the connecting shaft 63, so that the piston ring clamped and fixed in the middle of the clamping plate 62 will rotate 180 degrees synchronously. At this time, the piston ring will flip over so that the uncleaned side is flipped to the upper end for cleaning. The cleaned water will fall to the inner side of the groove 2 for collection, which is convenient for recycling. The filter net 3 can filter the cleaned water to avoid impurities falling into the inside of the groove 2 as much as possible.

[0033] Preferably, T-shaped slide grooves 11 are symmetrically provided on both side surfaces of the workbench 1, a water pump 12 is installed on one side of the workbench 1, and a water supply pipe 13 is installed on the output end of the water pump 12 (the middle part of the water supply pipe 13 is set as a corrugated hose, which can be stretched and deformed, and can also be bent).

[0034] When the telescopic cylinder 5 pushes the two adjustment components 4 to move towards each other, the T-shaped slide groove 11 can guide and limit the adjustment components 4 so that the adjustment components 4 can keep moving horizontally. The suction end of the water pump 12 is connected to the groove 2, which is convenient for the water pump 12 to extract the accumulated water in the groove 2 and then transport it through the water supply pipe 13 for spraying.

[0035] Preferably, the adjustment assembly 4 includes a fixed seat 41 and a rodless cylinder 42 installed on one side of the fixed seat 41 , the rodless cylinder 42 is externally slidably connected with a guide slider 43 , and a support block 44 is fixedly installed on one side surface of the guide slider 43 .

[0037] Preferably, T-shaped sliding blocks 411 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the bottom of the fixing seat 41 , and protruding teeth 412 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the upper end of the fixing seat 41 .

[0038] The fixed seat 41 is slidably connected to the T-shaped slide groove 11 through a T-shaped slider 411. When the connecting block 61 and the clamping plate 62 are displaced, the rotating gear 64 will contact and engage with the convex teeth 412. At this time, as the connecting block 61 and the clamping plate 62 move, the rotating gear 64 will be driven to rotate by the convex teeth 412, and the rotating gear 64 will drive the clamping plate 62 to rotate synchronously through the connecting shaft 63 (it can stop moving after rotating 180 degrees).

[0039] Preferably, the driving assembly 7 includes a top plate 71 and a lifting cylinder 72 installed at the lower end of one side of the top plate 71, a driving motor 73 is installed at the upper end of the top plate 71, a driving gear 74 is installed at the output end of the driving motor 73, and a bearing 75 is installed in the middle of the side of the top plate 71 away from the driving motor 73.

[0040] The lifting cylinder 72 can push the top plate 71 to rise and fall, so that the top plate 71 can drive the cleaning component 8 to move synchronously. When the driving motor 73 drives the driving gear 74 to rotate through the shaft at the output end, the driving gear 74 will drive the cleaning component 8 to rotate.

[0041] Preferably, the cleaning assembly 8 includes a rotating rod 81 and a cleaning plate 82 installed at the lower end of the rotating rod 81 , and a driven gear 83 is installed on the outer portion of the upper end of the rotating rod 81 .

[0042] The rotating rod 81 movably passes through the bearing 75, and the middle of the rotating rod 81 is a hollow structure, which is convenient for the water spray end of the water supply pipe 13 to be inserted into the rotating rod 81 for drainage (when the rotating rod 81 rotates, the water supply pipe 13 will be fixed). Since the driven gear 83 is meshed and connected with the driving gear 74, when the driving gear 74 rotates, the driven gear 83 will also drive the rotating rod 81 to rotate, and finally the rotating rod 81 will also drive the cleaning plate 82 to rotate to clean the surface of the piston ring.

[0044] When the water supply pipe 13 drains water into the rotating rod 81, the discharged water will first flow into the hollow cavity 821 and then be sprayed out through the leakage hole 822. When the brush 823 on the bottom of the cleaning plate 82 contacts the surface of the piston ring, the rotating cleaning plate 82 can use the brush 823 and the sprayed water to clean the surface of the piston ring (detergents, chemical cleaning agents and other decontamination products can be added to the water, which is not specifically limited in this application and can be set as needed).

[0045] The use process of the utility model is as follows: when the piston ring of the engine needs to be cleaned, the telescopic cylinder 5 can first push the two fixing seats 41 to move in opposite directions, so that the clamping plate 62 on one side of the connecting block 61 is clamped and fixed from both sides of the piston ring. When the piston ring is clamped and fixed, it will be located below the cleaning plate 82. Then the lifting cylinder 72 can drive the top plate 71 to descend, so that the cleaning plate 82 at the lower end of the rotating rod 81 is attached to the upper end surface of the piston ring. At the same time, the water spray end of the water supply pipe 13 is inserted into the rotating rod 81 to drain water, and the water pump 12 can extract the groove 2, and then drained to the inside of the rotating rod 81 through the water supply pipe 13. At this time, the discharged water will first flow into the inside of the hollow cavity 821, and then will be sprayed out through the leaking hole 822. The driving motor 73 drives the driving gear 74 to rotate through the shaft at the output end. When the driving gear 74 rotates, the driven gear 83 will also drive the rotating rod 81 and the cleaning plate 82 to rotate. When the brush 823 on the bottom surface of the cleaning plate 82 contacts the surface of the piston ring, the rotating cleaning plate 82 can use the brush 823 and the sprayed water to clean the surface of the piston ring.
