[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solution of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the specific embodiments of the present application and the corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0020] The technical solutions disclosed in various embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the embodiment of the present application discloses a cleaning device, which can be specifically used in the cleaning work of welding slag generated during welding, and is mainly used to clean the welding slag that may adhere to the clamping mechanism 500 that clamps the workpiece to be processed. At the same time, it can collect smoke and fine particles generated during welding to improve the cleanliness of the welding process. Among them, the clamping mechanism 500 for clamping the workpiece includes a first clamping part 510 and a second clamping part 520, which are arranged relative to each other in a first direction, and at least one of the first clamping part 510 and the second clamping part 520 has the ability to actively move along the first direction, so that the clamping mechanism 500 can actively clamp and actively release the workpiece to be processed. Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning device includes a frame 100 , a suction mechanism, a brush cleaning mechanism 200 , a driving mechanism 300 and a collecting mechanism 400 .

[0022] The frame 100 can provide a base for the installation of other mechanisms in the cleaning device. Specifically, the driving mechanism 300 can be installed on the frame 100. Specifically, the driving mechanism 300 can be fixedly connected to the frame 100 by bolts and other connectors, so that the driving mechanism 300 can drive the device installed thereon to move relative to the frame 100. Of course, the suction mechanism and the collection mechanism 400 can also be directly or indirectly installed on the frame 100, or the suction mechanism and the collection mechanism 400 can also be installed on the body of the entire device where the clamping mechanism 500 of the workpiece to be processed is located, etc., which is not limited in this article.

[0023] The suction mechanism cooperates with the clamping mechanism 500, and the suction mechanism is used to provide a suction effect, so that the smoke and fine particles generated during the welding process can be sucked away by the suction mechanism to other areas outside the workpiece to be processed, or the smoke and fine particles can be collected in a container, which is not limited in this article. Optionally, the suction mechanism may include a flared structure, and by making the flared mouth of the aforementioned flared structure face the area where the welding position of the workpiece to be processed is located, the smoke and fine particles generated during the welding process can be sucked away under the action of a vacuum pump or a negative pressure mechanism. In this case, there may be no connection relationship between the suction mechanism and the clamping mechanism 500, and the two only correspond to each other in space to achieve the purpose of sucking out smoke and fine particles. Of course, it is also possible to form a connection relationship between the suction mechanism and the clamping mechanism 500. This technical solution will be described in detail below.

[0024] The brush cleaning mechanism 200 is installed on the driving mechanism 300, so that under the action of the driving mechanism 300, the brush cleaning mechanism 200 can be driven to reciprocate relative to the frame 100 to achieve the purpose of cleaning the welding slag on the clamping mechanism 500, thereby preventing the welding slag adhered to the clamping mechanism 500 from falling on the workpiece to be processed and adversely affecting the subsequent processing of the workpiece to be processed. Of course, each time the clamping mechanism 500 is cleaned, the number of times the brush cleaning mechanism 200 needs to reciprocate at the clamping mechanism 500 can be flexibly selected according to actual conditions, and this article does not limit this.

[0025] As described above, the clamping mechanism 500 includes a first clamping portion 510 and a second clamping portion 520, and the two are arranged opposite to each other in the first direction. Therefore, when the clamping mechanism 500 is cleaned by using the brush cleaning mechanism 200, it is necessary to enable the brush cleaning mechanism 200 to move to the gap between the first clamping portion 510 and the second clamping portion 520, and through reciprocating motion, the first clamping portion 510 and the second clamping portion 520 are cleaned.

[0026] More specifically, when the brush cleaning mechanism 200 cleans the clamping mechanism 500, the specific reciprocating direction of the brush cleaning mechanism 200 is perpendicular to the first direction. In this case, it can be ensured that the brush cleaning mechanism 200 has a relatively good cleaning effect on the pressing mechanism.

[0027] Based on the above content, the driving mechanism 300 may include a manipulator, which can drive the brush cleaning mechanism 200 to move relative to the frame 100, and by designing the structure of the manipulator, the driving mechanism 300 can drive the brush cleaning mechanism 200 to reciprocate between the first clamping part 510 and the second clamping part 520, and the driving mechanism 300 can drive the brush cleaning mechanism 200 to move between the first clamping part 510 and the second clamping part 520, and outside the first clamping part 510 and the second clamping part 520, so that when the clamping mechanism 500 needs to clamp the workpiece to be processed, it can be ensured that the brush cleaning mechanism 200 is located outside the first clamping part 510 and the second clamping part 520 to prevent the brush cleaning mechanism 200 from interfering with the normal operation of the clamping mechanism 500.

[0028] The brush cleaning mechanism 200 is used to directly provide a cleaning effect. To this end, the brush cleaning mechanism 200 includes a plurality of bristles, and the plurality of bristles can be used as a brush as a whole. Specifically, the brush can generally be a plate brush, and by making the plate brush face the first clamping portion 510, the plate brush can be used to achieve the purpose of cleaning the first clamping portion 510. Accordingly, by rotating the plate brush 180°, the plate brush can be made to face the second clamping portion 520. In this case, the second clamping portion 520 can be cleaned. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the brush can also be a roller brush. In this case, the first clamping portion 510 and the second clamping portion 520 can be cleaned at the same time, thereby greatly improving the cleaning efficiency of the clamping mechanism 500.

[0029] As described above, the brush cleaning mechanism 200 can clean the welding slag and the like adhered to the clamping mechanism 500. For this reason, during the cleaning process, the welding slag adhered to the clamping mechanism 500 will fall under the action of gravity and the like. In order to prevent the welding slag under cleaning from having an adverse effect on the cleanliness of the processing site, the above-mentioned collecting mechanism 400 is provided in the cleaning device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, and the collection mechanism 400 can be used to collect the welding slag. As described above, the falling of welding slag is usually caused by its own gravity. For this reason, the collecting mechanism 400 is arranged below the clamping mechanism 500, so that the purpose of collecting welding slag can be achieved under the action of the welding slag's own gravity. Of course, the collecting mechanism 400 may include a hopper 410. By arranging the inlet of the hopper 410 below the clamping mechanism 500, the fallen welding slag can directly fall into the hopper 410 under its own gravity. Of course, in order to improve the collection range of the collection mechanism 400, the hopper 410 can be a flared structure. In this case, the coverage area of ​​the feed port of the hopper 410 can be expanded, thereby improving the collection rate of welding slag.

[0030] Furthermore, the hopper 410 may also be provided with a negative pressure mechanism 430 so that the welding slag collected in the hopper 410 can be extracted by the negative pressure mechanism 430. At the same time, under the action of the negative pressure mechanism 430, the collection efficiency and thoroughness of the welding slag by the collection mechanism 400 can also be improved, and the welding slag cleaned by the brush cleaning mechanism 200 can be further prevented from splashing outside the hopper 410 and having an adverse effect on the workshop environment. Specifically, the collection mechanism 400 may also include a connecting pipe 420, and the discharge port of the hopper 410 is connected to the negative pressure mechanism 430 through the connecting pipe 420. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the negative pressure mechanism 430 may also be included in the cleaning equipment, which is not limited herein.

[0031] The embodiment of the present application discloses a cleaning device, which can provide a cleaning effect for the clamping mechanism 500 during the welding process, so as to prevent the welding slag adhered to the clamping mechanism 500 from falling on the workpiece to be processed, and adversely affecting the subsequent processing of the workpiece to be processed. In the cleaning device, the suction mechanism can extract the smoke and fine particles generated during the welding process by cooperating with the clamping mechanism 500, so as to prevent the smoke and fine particles from hindering the welding process; the driving mechanism 300 installed on the frame 100 can provide a driving effect for the brush cleaning mechanism 200, so as to drive the brush cleaning mechanism 200 to move relative to the frame 100, and in a direction perpendicular to the relative direction of the first clamping part 510 and the second clamping part 520 of the clamping mechanism 500, the brush cleaning mechanism 200 can generate a reciprocating movement with the clamping mechanism 500, and then perform a brushing and cleaning operation on the clamping mechanism 500, so that the welding slag adhered to the clamping mechanism 500 can be swept down. At the same time, a collecting mechanism 400 is provided in the cleaning equipment, and the collecting mechanism 400 is arranged below the clamping mechanism 500, so that the collecting mechanism 400 can be used to collect the welding slag cleaned from the clamping mechanism 500 to prevent the welding slag from falling on the floor of the processing workshop and other working surfaces, thereby affecting its cleanliness and even having an adverse effect on the welding process and other processing processes.

[0032] As described above, the cleaning device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application can provide a cleaning effect on the clamping mechanism 500 used to clamp the workpiece to be processed during the welding process. In this case, the clamping mechanism 500 can be considered to be other mechanisms other than the cleaning device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application. That is, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the cleaning device does not include the clamping mechanism 500. In this case, as described above, the suction mechanism and the clamping mechanism 500 can be spatially matched to each other, so as to extract the smoke and fine particles generated during the welding process.

[0033] In another embodiment of the present application, the cleaning device includes the above-mentioned clamping mechanism 500. In this case, the embodiment of the present application also makes corresponding improvements to the structure of the clamping mechanism 500. As described above, the clamping mechanism 500 includes a first clamping portion 510 and a second clamping portion 520 that are opposite to each other in a first direction. In the process of laser welding, the first clamping portion 510 and the second clamping portion 520 are respectively provided with a first through hole 511 and a third through hole 521. Taking the first clamping portion 510 as an example, which is located above the second clamping portion 520, the first through hole 511 needs to penetrate the first clamping portion 510 along the first direction, so as to ensure that the laser used to provide welding can pass through the first through hole 511 and act on the workpiece to be processed clamped between the first clamping portion 510 and the second clamping portion 520, so as to achieve the welding purpose. At the same time, considering that the energy of the welding laser is relatively high, in order to prevent the welding process from connecting the workpiece to be processed and the second clamping part 520 as one, a third through hole 521 is provided on the second clamping part 520 in an area opposite to the first through hole 511. Of course, whether the third through hole 521 penetrates the second clamping part 520 along the first direction can be flexibly determined based on actual conditions such as the thickness of the workpiece to be processed and the parameters of the welding laser, and this article does not limit this.

[0034] With respect to the clamping mechanism 500 of the above structure, in an embodiment of the present application where the above cleaning device does not include the clamping mechanism 500, the suction port of the suction mechanism can be directed toward the first through hole 511 to suck the smoke and fine particles generated during the welding process.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the cleaning device includes a clamping mechanism 500. In this case, the suction mechanism can be connected to the clamping mechanism 500, thereby further improving the suction effect. In detail, in the embodiment of the present application, the first clamping portion 510 and the second clamping portion 520 can be installed on the frame 100, or the first clamping portion 510 and the second clamping portion 520 can be directly installed on the body of the device for providing the welding function, which can enable the clamping mechanism 500 to form a linkage relationship with the driving mechanism 300. Of course, during the installation process, the first clamping portion 510 is located on the side of the second clamping portion 520 away from the collecting mechanism 400. In layman's terms, the first clamping portion 510 is located above the second clamping portion 520. Of course, during the welding process, the mechanism for outputting the laser is also located on the side of the second clamping portion 520 away from the collecting mechanism 400, that is, the welding laser is input from above the workpiece to be processed and irradiated onto the workpiece to be processed through the first through hole 511 of the first clamping portion 510, thereby performing welding on the workpiece to be processed.

[0036] Based on the clamping mechanism 500 of the above structure, in the present application, the suction mechanism includes a suction pipeline, and as Figure 2As shown, the first clamping portion 510 is further provided with a second through hole 512, one end of the second through hole 512 is connected to the first through hole 511, and the other end of the second through hole 512 is connected to the negative pressure mechanism through the suction pipeline. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, by further forming the second through hole 512 on the first clamping portion 510, and making the second through hole 512 serve as a connecting medium between the suction pipeline in the suction mechanism and the first through hole 511, the smoke and fine particles generated during the welding process can be directly extracted from the first through hole 511, thereby further preventing the smoke from spreading and improving the collection efficiency and thoroughness of the smoke and fine particles.

[0037] Considering that the welding laser needs to be irradiated onto the workpiece to be processed from the first through hole 511, optionally, the second through hole 512 can be connected to the first through hole 511 at the middle position in the first direction, or, in order to reduce the difficulty of forming the second through hole 512, the second through hole 512 can also be connected to an end port of the first through hole 511 that is away from the workpiece to be processed (or the second clamping portion 520). For example, the second through hole 512 can be arranged on one side of the first through hole 511, and the second through hole 512 is located on the side of the first through hole 511 away from the second clamping portion 520, so that the smoke and fine particles generated by the welding process can escape from the first through hole 511 and be extracted by the negative pressure mechanism through the second through hole 512 and the suction pipeline.

[0038] More specifically, the second through hole 512 can extend to the side of the first clamping member, so as to facilitate the connection work between the suction pipeline and the second through hole 512; the suction pipeline can be inserted into the second through hole 512 so that the suction pipeline can be connected with the second through hole 512, or a quick-connect connector can be installed at the second through hole 512, so that the suction pipeline can be conveniently connected to the second through hole 512 by using the quick-connect connector.

[0039] As described above, the second clamping portion 520 is provided with a third through hole 521. Based on this, in order to further suppress the escape of smoke and dust, in an embodiment of the present application, the second clamping portion 520 can be provided with a fourth through hole 522, and one end of the fourth through hole 522 is connected to the third through hole 521, and the other end of the fourth through hole 522 is connected to the negative pressure mechanism through a suction pipeline, so that the smoke and fine particles that escape into the second clamping member can also be sucked out of the welding area by the negative pressure mechanism through the fourth through hole 522, thereby further improving the welding effect and preventing adverse effects on subsequent processing of the workpiece.

[0040] As described above, the third through hole 521 can be set to penetrate the second clamping portion 520, or the third through hole 521 can also be set to be non-penetrating relative to the second clamping portion 520. Based on this, one end of the fourth through hole 522 can be connected to the middle position of the third through hole 521 in the first direction or to the end away from the first through hole 511, and the extension direction of the fourth through hole 522 can be perpendicular to the first direction, so that the fourth through hole 522 can extend to the side of the second clamping portion 520, so as to facilitate the connection between the suction pipeline and the fourth through hole 522; similarly, the fourth through hole 522 can also be equipped with a quick-connect connector, so as to further reduce the difficulty of assembling the fourth through hole 522 and the suction pipeline.

[0041] As described above, the brush may include a plate brush or a roller brush, etc. In a specific embodiment of the present application, the brush cleaning mechanism 200 may include a base 210, a first brush body 221 and a second brush body 222. The base 210 is installed on the driving mechanism 300, and the base 210 can serve as an installation base for the first brush body 221 and the second brush body 222, that is, the first brush body 221 and the second brush body 222 can both be installed on the base 210, and the base 210 can be installed on the driving mechanism 300, so that under the action of the driving mechanism 300, the base 210 can simultaneously drive the first brush body 221 and the second brush body 222 to move relative to the frame 100. Correspondingly, under the action of the driving mechanism 300, the first brush body 221 and the second brush body 222 can both move between the first clamping part 510 and the second clamping part 520, and by designing the orientation of the bristles on the first brush body 221 and the second brush body 222, the first brush body 221 can be set toward the first clamping part 510, and the second brush body 222 can be set toward the second clamping part 520, so that the first brush body 221 can be used to clean the first clamping part 510, and the second brush body 222 can be used to clean the second clamping part 520, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the clamping mechanism 500.

[0042] More specifically, the base 210 can be formed of a material with relatively high structural strength such as metal. The specific shape and other parameters of the base 210 can be flexibly selected according to actual needs, and this document does not limit this. The base 210 and the driving mechanism 300 can be assembled by welding or connecting with a connector. The first brush body 221 and the second brush body 222 can be connected to the base 210 in a detachable manner, so that after the first brush body 221 and the second brush body 222 have been used for a period of time, the first brush body 221 and the second brush body 222 can be replaced with a new one to ensure that the cleaning effect of the brush cleaning mechanism 200 is always relatively high.

[0043] As described above, the driving assembly may include a manipulator. In another embodiment of the present application, the driving assembly may also include a rotating motor, a screw transmission assembly and a linear guide assembly that cooperate with each other. In order to reduce the difficulty of assembling the components and reduce the total number of components in the cleaning equipment, in the embodiment of the present application, the driving mechanism 300 includes a first linear drive 310 and a second linear drive 320. In this case, the driving mechanism 300 can directly use the device with a driving function to provide a connection between the brush cleaning mechanism 200 and the frame 100.

[0044] Specifically, the first linear drive 310 and the second linear drive 320 can both be electric cylinders or hydraulic cylinders. In another embodiment of the present application, considering that the driving stroke of the brush drive mechanism 300 has certain particularities, it only needs to reciprocate between two positions. Furthermore, in the embodiment of the present application, the first linear drive 310 and the second linear drive 320 can both include cylinders, which can further reduce the control difficulty of the drive mechanism 300.

[0045] During the process of assembling the driving mechanism 300, the second linear drive 320 can be installed on the first linear drive 310, and the brush driving mechanism 300 can be installed on the second linear drive 320, so that under the action of the first linear drive 310 and the second linear drive 320, the brush cleaning mechanism 200 can reciprocate between the first clamping part 510 and the second clamping part 520 to clean the first clamping part 510 and the second clamping part 520, and can also move between and outside the first clamping part 510 and the second clamping part 520 so that the brush cleaning mechanism 200 can avoid the clamping mechanism 500 when the clamping mechanism 500 needs to work.

[0046] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the first linear driver 310 and the second linear driver 320 can cooperate with each other and provide the above-mentioned function for the brush cleaning mechanism 200. In another embodiment of the present application, one of the first linear driver 310 and the second linear driver 320 can be used to provide a driving function for the cleaning process, that is, the brush driving mechanism 300 can reciprocate between the first clamping portion 510 and the second clamping portion 520, and the other can be used to provide an avoidance function for the brush cleaning mechanism 200, that is, when the clamping mechanism 500 needs to be cleaned, the brush driving mechanism 300 can be moved between the first clamping portion 510 and the second clamping portion 520, and when the cleaning work is not required, the brush driving mechanism 300 can be moved to a position outside the first clamping portion 510 and the second clamping portion 520.

[0047] More specifically, one of the first linear driver 310 and the second linear driver 320 that is specifically used to drive the brush cleaning mechanism 200 to perform a cleaning action can be directly connected to the brush cleaning mechanism 200, which can reduce the driving difficulty of the brush cleaning mechanism 200. In detail, in the embodiment of the present application, the second linear driver 300 can be used to provide a cleaning driving function for the brush cleaning mechanism 200, and correspondingly, the first linear driver 300 is used to provide an avoidance function for the brush cleaning mechanism 200. That is, in the embodiment of the present application, the second linear driver 320 is used to drive the brush cleaning mechanism 200 to reciprocate between the first clamping portion 510 and the second clamping portion 520, and the first linear driver 310 is used to drive the brush cleaning mechanism 200 to avoid the clamping mechanism 500. Of course, the first linear driver 310 is also used to drive the brush cleaning mechanism 200 to move to a position between the first clamping portion 510 and the second clamping portion 520 of the clamping mechanism 500.

[0048] In addition, as to the direction in which the brush cleaning mechanism 200 moves to achieve the purpose of reciprocating cleaning of the first clamping part 510 and the second clamping part 520, specifically, the cleaning direction of the brush cleaning mechanism 200 can be made perpendicular to the first direction. In this case, it can be ensured that the cleaning effect of the first clamping part 510 and the second clamping part 520 is relatively good.

[0049] As for the avoidance direction of the brush cleaning mechanism 200, that is, the driving direction of the first linear driver 310, the driving direction of the first linear driver 310 can be made parallel to the first direction. As described above, the clamping mechanism 500 can be installed on the frame 100 or the body of the device for providing welding, and the clamping mechanism 500 can be equipped with a driving device so that at least one of the first clamping part 510 and the second clamping part 520 has the ability to actively move in the first direction. Based on this, the driving directions of the first linear driver 310 and the second linear driver 320 can be perpendicular to the first direction, and the driving directions of the first linear driver 310 and the second linear driver 320 can be perpendicular to each other, so as to reduce the driving difficulty of the brush cleaning mechanism 200.

[0050] More specifically, the cleaning driving direction of the brush cleaning mechanism 200 can be determined according to the flow direction of the workpiece to be processed at the clamping mechanism 500, and the cleaning driving direction of the brush cleaning mechanism 200 is parallel to the flow direction of the workpiece to be processed at the clamping mechanism 500. Considering that both the first clamping part 510 and the second clamping part 520 need to be installed on the frame 100 or the above-mentioned body, for this purpose, a part of the frame 100 can be provided on the same side of the first clamping part 510 and the second clamping part 520. Intuitively speaking, the frame 100 can be provided behind the first clamping part 510 and the second clamping part 520. In this case, the relative direction (i.e., the first direction) of the first clamping part 510 and the second clamping part 520 in the workpiece to be processed can be identified as the up-down direction, and then, the flow direction of the workpiece to be processed at the clamping mechanism 500 can be the left-right direction. For this reason, in the embodiment of the present application, the driving direction of the second linear driver 320 can be the left-right direction, and the driving direction of the first linear driver 310 can be the front-back direction. Among them, Figure 1 As shown, the first direction may be direction Z, the front-to-back direction may be direction Y, and the left-to-right direction may be direction X.

[0051] As described above, the brush cleaning mechanism 200 can clean the first clamping portion 510 and the second clamping portion 520 in the clamping mechanism 500. More specifically, the brush cleaning mechanism 200 and the driving mechanism 300 can be controlled by using relevant control devices in the equipment providing the welding function, such as a control mechanism, and the brush cleaning mechanism 200 and the driving mechanism 300 can form a linkage relationship with the clamping mechanism 500, so that the clamping mechanism 500 can be cleaned when the workpiece to be processed is not clamped at the clamping mechanism 500.

[0052] In order to further improve the reliability of the cleaning process, in a specific embodiment of the present application, the cleaning device may also include a workpiece detection mechanism 600, and the workpiece detection mechanism 600 is installed on one side of the clamping mechanism 500, so as to use the workpiece detection mechanism 600 to detect whether the clamped odd and even strands are clamping the workpiece to be processed, thereby further preventing the driving component from driving the brush cleaning mechanism 200 to clean the clamping mechanism 500 when the workpiece to be processed is clamped at the clamping mechanism 500.

[0053] Specifically, the workpiece detection mechanism 600 may include a reflective sensor. In another embodiment of the present application, the workpiece detection mechanism 600 includes a transmitter 610 and a receiver 620, and the transmitter 610 and the receiver 620 are arranged relative to each other, that is, in the cleaning device disclosed in the embodiment of the present application, the workpiece detection mechanism 600 is a beam sensor. Among them, in the direction perpendicular to the first direction, the transmitter 610 is arranged on the first side of the clamping mechanism 500, and the receiver 620 is arranged on the second side of the clamping mechanism 500, so that the workpiece detection mechanism 600 can detect whether the clamping mechanism 500 clamps the workpiece to be processed from a certain position outside the clamping mechanism 500, so as to prevent the workpiece detection mechanism 600 from obstructing the circulation process of the workpiece to be processed and the normal progress of the welding process. More intuitively speaking, the transmitter 610 and the receiver 620 can be arranged on the left and right sides of the clamping mechanism 500 respectively, and the transmitter 610 and the receiver 620 are both arranged in front of the clamping mechanism 500.

[0054] The above embodiments of the present application focus on describing the differences between the various embodiments. As long as the different optimization features between the various embodiments are not contradictory, they can be combined to form a better embodiment. Considering the simplicity of the text, they will not be repeated here.

[0055] The above is only an embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various changes and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of the claims of the present application.
