DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] To further illustrate the various embodiments, the present invention provides drawings. These drawings are part of the disclosure of the present invention, which are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be used in conjunction with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. With reference to these contents, a person of ordinary skill in the art should be able to understand other possible implementations and advantages of the present invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are generally used to represent similar components.

[0020] See also Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model discloses a cleaning device, including a conveying mechanism 1, a cleaning platform 2, a gas ejecting mechanism 3 and a controller (the controller is not shown in the figure), the cleaning platform 1 is used to place the workpiece, the controller is electrically connected to the conveying mechanism 1 and the gas ejecting mechanism 3, the conveying mechanism 1 is used to convey the workpiece 10 to complete the loading and unloading of the workpiece, the gas ejecting mechanism 3 is arranged above the cleaning platform 2, and the gas ejecting mechanism 3 is used to eject compressed air toward the cleaning platform 2 to clean the workpiece.

[0021] The cleaning device is arranged on a production assembly line of a workpiece 10, and the cleaning process is one of the processes of the workpiece on the production assembly line. The production assembly line includes a conveyor line 4 for conveying workpieces. The workpieces 10 in this example are a first workpiece 101 and a second workpiece 102, and the first workpiece 101 and the second workpiece 102 are placed on a tooling plate 103. The transport mechanism 3 transports the workpiece 10 by transporting the tooling plate 103. The workpiece 10 is transported by the transport mechanism 3 and moves between the conveyor line 4 and the cleaning platform 2.

[0022] In this embodiment, the loading and unloading of the workpieces are both performed by the same transport mechanism 1 . In other embodiments, the loading and unloading of the workpieces can be performed by a transport mechanism respectively.

[0023] The transport mechanism 1 includes a track 11 spanning between the cleaning platform 2 and the conveyor line 4. There are two tracks 11. A sliding member 12 is spanned on the track 11. A clamp 13 is suspended under the sliding member 12. The clamp 13 is used to clamp or release the workpiece 10. The clamp 13 clamps the workpiece 10 and transports the workpiece 10 as the sliding member 12 moves.

[0024] The conveyor line 4 extends along the X-axis direction, the track 11 extends along the Y-axis direction, and the sliding member 12 also extends along the X-axis direction, so that the transport mechanism 1 moves along the Y-axis direction with the workpiece.

[0025] The clamp 13 includes a first clamping plate 131 and a second clamping plate 132 which are arranged opposite to each other. The first clamping plate 131 and the second clamping plate 132 are respectively connected to the sliding member 12 through a clamping cylinder 133, and the first clamping plate 131 and the second clamping plate 132 are respectively controlled by the corresponding clamping cylinder 133 to clamp or release the workpiece. Due to the effect of gravity, the workpiece 10 may fall during the transportation process. Therefore, a first bottom support portion is provided on the side of the first clamping plate 131 facing the second clamping plate 132. The first bottom support portion is used to support the bottom of the workpiece 10. A second bottom support portion 1321 is provided on the side of the second clamping plate 132 facing the first clamping plate 131. The second bottom support portion 1321 is used to support the bottom of the workpiece 10. More specifically, the first bottom support portion and the second bottom support portion 1321 are respectively inserted into the groove 1031 at the bottom of the tooling plate 103, so that the first bottom support portion and the second bottom support portion 1321 cooperate to prevent the workpiece 10 from falling during the transportation process. In this example, the first bottom supporting portion and the second bottom supporting portion 1321 are convex strips respectively, and the groove 1031 is a strip groove arranged on two opposite sides of the tooling plate 103 .

[0026] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a lifting mechanism 5 electrically connected to the controller is provided below the conveyor line 4, and the lifting mechanism 5 is used to lift the workpiece 10 so that the workpiece 10 leaves the conveyor line 4, that is, it is separated from the conveying function of the conveyor line 4, and stops in the X-axis direction to prepare for the handling mechanism 1 to clamp the workpiece 10. Since the conveyor line 4 is in continuous motion, if there is no lifting mechanism 5 to lift the workpiece 10 to separate it from the conveyor line 4, then the workpiece 10 is also in continuous motion along the X-axis, then for the handling mechanism 1, the difficulty of clamping the workpiece 10 will be greatly increased, and the workpiece 10 will be clamped unstably, increasing the risk of the workpiece falling.

[0027] The lifting mechanism 5 includes a lifting cylinder 51 and a lifting member 52. The lifting member 52 rises and falls under the action of the lifting cylinder 51. On the plane where the conveying surface of the conveyor line 4 is located, the lifting member 52 is located inside the conveyor line, so that the lifting member 52 rises through the conveyor line 4 to lift the workpiece 10. More specifically, the lifting member 52 is a plate-like structure. The conveyor line 4 includes two conveyor belts arranged at intervals. The lifting member 52 is arranged between the two conveyor belts. The lifting member 52 switches between being lower than the conveyor belt and being higher than the conveyor belt under the action of the lifting cylinder 51, so that the tooling plate 103 on which the first workpiece 101 and the second workpiece 102 are placed rises to leave the conveyor belt or falls to move with the conveyor belt.

[0028] A stopper mechanism 6 is also provided on the upstream side of the lifting mechanism 5. The stopper mechanism 6 includes a stopper cylinder 61 and a stopper component 62 provided on the top of the stopper cylinder 61. The stopper component 62 is at the end of the stopper cylinder 61, and thus rises and falls under the control of the stopper cylinder 61. When the efficiency of the cleaning equipment is low, resulting in the workpiece 10 on the conveyor line arriving at the cleaning equipment before the previous workpiece 10 is cleaned, or after cleaning, the workpiece 10 has not entered the next process smoothly, the stopper mechanism 6 is raised to block the workpiece 10 to ensure that the previous workpiece 10 can be fully cleaned. For example: when the workpiece 10 (i.e., the tooling plate 103 and the first workpiece 101 and the second workpiece 102 carried by it) arrives at the lifting mechanism 5 and is blocked by the lifting mechanism 5 and cannot move forward, it happens that the previous workpiece 10 has not yet entered the next process after cleaning, and may be being cleaned on the cleaning platform, or may be being transported by the transport mechanism 1. At this time, assuming that there is no blocking mechanism 6, the workpiece reaching the lifting mechanism 5 will contact the lifting mechanism 5, which will affect the previous workpiece 10 that has been cleaned and return to the lifting mechanism 5 and return to the conveyor line under the action of the lifting mechanism 5. Therefore, the utility model is provided with a blocking mechanism 6 to block the workpiece 10 that has not been cleaned but arrives near the lifting mechanism 5 in advance on the upstream side of the lifting mechanism 5 and maintain a certain distance from the lifting mechanism 5, so as to prevent the workpiece from affecting the handling and transportation of the previous workpiece.

[0029] See also Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning platform 2 is arranged in an openable and closable cleaning chamber, which is composed of a first shell 71 and a second shell 72 that are opposed to each other up and down, and the first shell 71 can be raised and lowered relative to the second shell 72. It also includes a dust suction mechanism (the dust suction mechanism is not shown in the figure), which is used to absorb foreign matter blown off when the workpiece is cleaned. The foreign matter mainly refers to dust blown off from the workpiece, but other foreign matter that appears during the production process, such as unfastened screws, etc., is not excluded. The cleaning chamber can place the workpiece 10 in a relatively closed environment for cleaning, prevent the blown dust from flying into the air and polluting the production and assembly environment of the workpiece, and is also conducive to the dust suction mechanism to suck away the dust. The dust suction mechanism in this example refers to an industrial vacuum cleaner, which collects dust by negative pressure adsorption. The gas ejection mechanism 3 is arranged on the first shell 71, and rises and falls with the rise and fall of the first shell 71, and the gas ejection mechanism 3 is connected to the air compressor to blow out compressed air to clean the workpiece 10.

[0030] The working process of the utility model is as follows: when the workpiece 10 moves along the conveyor line 4 to the top of the lifting mechanism 5, the lifting mechanism 5 lifts the workpiece, that is, the workpiece 10 is lifted from the conveyor line 4. Figure 1The dotted position in the figure is lifted to the solid position, so that the workpiece 10 is suspended in the X-axis direction; the first clamping plate 131 and the second clamping plate 132 of the conveying mechanism 1 are respectively moved to the two sides of the workpiece 10, and the first clamping plate 131 and the second clamping plate 132 are respectively moved relative to each other under the action of the clamping cylinder 133, so that the first bottom support part and the second bottom support part 1321 are respectively inserted into the groove 1031 of the tooling plate 103; the sliding member 12 of the conveying mechanism 1 moves along the Y-axis under the action of the motor, and the workpiece 10 is placed on the cleaning platform 2, the first shell 71 descends and cooperates with the second shell 72 to form a cleaning chamber, the gas ejection mechanism 3 ejects compressed air to clean the workpiece, and the dust suction mechanism is started to keep the cleaning chamber clean; after cleaning is completed, the first shell 72 rises to open the cleaning chamber, the conveying mechanism 1 clamps the workpiece 10 again, and transports the workpiece back to the lifting mechanism 5. After the clamp of the conveying mechanism 1 releases the workpiece, the lifting mechanism 5 descends to make the workpiece return to the conveyor line and enter the next process along the conveyor line. When the workpiece 10 is performing the above-mentioned action, if the next workpiece approaches the lifting mechanism 5 along the conveyor line, the blocking member 62 of the blocking mechanism 6 rises, that is, rises from the dotted line position to the solid line position, blocking the workpiece 10 until the previous workpiece enters the next process.
