Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of aluminum alloy processing, in particular to a non-powered self-adaptive roller road cleaner. Background Art

[0002] The aluminum alloy rear cover is made of a relatively soft material, and its mating surface is a precision-machined surface used for sealing with the transmission housing. Scratches may result in oil leakage risk on the mating surface, so no scratches are allowed.

[0003] The primary cause of scratches is residual machining chips that adhere to the transfer raceway surface, causing contact and friction during part transfer. Despite various improvements implemented on-site, the issue remains unresolved. The industry's standard practice is to strictly require workers to thoroughly clean residual chips from the production line, but this has limited success. Alternatively, complex protective measures can be devised, but these are costly and increase worker workload. This issue has long been a persistent problem in the production process, impacting product quality.

[0004] After we carefully analyzed the reasons on site, we found the following points:

[0005] 1. Although workers carefully blow the parts after processing, it is still difficult to avoid residual chips on the workpiece. After placing it on the offline raceway, the residual chips will fall and adhere to the surface of the raceway roller.

[0006] 2. Workers usually clean up the work site, including the raceway surface, after get off work. It is difficult to remove the raceway and residual chips on the site in a timely manner as required.

[0007] 3. The chips adhering to the raceway surface are the cause of scratches on the rear cover parts when they slide on the raceway.

[0008] 4. The equipment to be designed must not increase the workload of workers in order to solve the scratching problem when the roller conveys parts. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a non-powered adaptive raceway cleaner to solve the problem in the existing technology of lacking a device that can effectively remove the residual processing chips that fall and adhere to the surface of the transfer raceway.

[0010] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: a non-powered adaptive roller road cleaner, including a mounting frame, the mounting frame including a connecting plate and a first hook mounting plate and a second hook mounting plate vertically installed at both ends of the same side of the connecting plate.

[0011] A scraper mounting plate is also installed on one side of the connecting plate along its own length direction. The scraper mounting plate forms an obtuse angle with the connecting plate and is inclined toward the other side of the first hook mounting plate.

[0012] A hard scraper is also installed on the side of the scraper installation plate facing the first hook installation plate, and a soft scraper is also installed on the side of the scraper installation plate facing away from the hard scraper.

[0013] The first hook mounting plate is further mounted with a first hook and a second hook, and the second hook mounting plate is further mounted with a third hook and a fourth hook.

[0014] The utility model also has the following technical features:

[0015] The first hook includes a first mounting portion and a first overlapping portion. The first overlapping portion and the first mounting portion form an obtuse angle and are inclined toward one side of the scraper mounting plate.

[0016] The first overlapping portion is further provided with a first overlapping groove. The first mounting portion is connected to the first hook mounting plate. The first overlapping portion extends out of the first hook mounting plate and faces one side of the scraper mounting plate.

[0017] The second hook includes a second mounting portion and a second overlapping portion. The second overlapping portion and the second mounting portion form an obtuse angle and are inclined toward the scraper mounting plate.

[0018] The second overlapping portion is further provided with a second overlapping groove. The second mounting portion is connected to the first hook mounting plate. The second overlapping portion extends out of the first hook mounting plate and faces away from the scraper mounting plate.

[0019] The structures and installation positions of the third hook and the fourth hook are the same as those of the first hook and the second hook.

[0020] A plurality of first U-shaped grooves are further provided on one end of the scraper installation plate facing away from the connecting plate, and the hard scraper is connected to the first U-shaped grooves by bolts.

[0021] A second U-shaped groove is formed on one side of the first hook mounting plate and the second hook mounting plate facing away from the connecting plate, and the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion are connected to the second U-shaped groove via bolts.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects:

[0023] (I) The non-powered adaptive roller cleaner provided by the utility model adopts a two-stage cleaning structure. The designed hard scraper first contacts the roller surface. During the rotation of the roller, the hard scraper scrapes off the residual large chips that fall on the roller surface, and the chips fall into the roller chip receiving tray along the inclined surface of the hard scraper. A soft scraper is installed on the other side of the scraper mounting plate. The soft scraper can adaptively fit the roller surface by utilizing its flexibility and elasticity. In this way, the fine chips, oil stains, etc. remaining on the roller surface can be further cleaned. After long-term use, the dirty and worn soft scraper can be torn off and re-attached, which greatly reduces the maintenance and use costs of the device.

[0024] (II) The unpowered adaptive roller cleaning device provided by this utility model utilizes the rotational action of the rollers during the transmission process. The mechanism is designed to be unpowered, meaning that no external power is required to achieve the desired roller cleaning effect. The hooks at both ends are snapped into place using the roller shaft diameters at the site, requiring virtually no modification to the on-site operating conditions. Installation is simple, convenient, and low-cost, with no additional workload for on-site operators.

[0038] Unless otherwise specified, all components in the present invention are components known in the prior art.

[0039] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the following specific embodiments, and all equivalent modifications made on the basis of the technical solution of this application fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0040] Example 1:

[0041] This embodiment provides a non-powered adaptive roller road cleaner, such as Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, it includes a mounting frame 1, which includes a connecting plate 1-1 and a first hook mounting plate 1-2 and a second hook mounting plate 1-3 vertically installed at both ends of the same side of the connecting plate 1-1.

[0042] A scraper mounting plate 1-4 is also installed on one side of the connecting plate 1-1 along its own length direction. The scraper mounting plate 1-4 forms an obtuse angle with the connecting plate 1-1 and is inclined toward the other side of the first hook mounting plate 1-2.

[0043] A hard scraper 2 is also installed on the side of the scraper mounting plate 1-4 facing the first hook mounting plate 1-2, and a soft scraper 3 is also installed on the side of the scraper mounting plate 1-4 facing away from the hard scraper 2.

[0044] In this embodiment, the hard scraper 2 is made of steel or other metal materials, and the soft scraper 3 is made of felt, which is fixed with adhesive tape. After long-term use, the dirty and worn felt sheet can be torn off and a new felt sheet can be pasted (felt sheets are inexpensive), which greatly reduces the maintenance and use costs of the device.

[0045] The first hook mounting plate 1 - 2 is further mounted with a first hook 4 and a second hook 5 , and the second hook mounting plate 1 - 3 is further mounted with a third hook 6 and a fourth hook 7 .

[0046] The first hook 4, the second hook 5, the third hook 6 and the fourth hook 7 are used to install the entire device at the shaft diameters at both ends of the raceway roller on site to achieve relative fixation.

[0047] As a preferred embodiment of this invention:

[0048] The first hook 4 includes a first mounting portion 4-1 and a first overlapping portion 4-2. The first overlapping portion 4-2 forms an obtuse angle with the first mounting portion 4-1 and is inclined toward the scraper mounting plate 1-4.

[0049] The first overlapping portion 4-2 is further provided with a first overlapping groove 4-3, the first mounting portion 4-1 is connected to the first hook mounting plate 1-2, and the first overlapping portion 4-2 extends out of the first hook mounting plate 1-2 and toward the scraper mounting plate 1-4.

[0050] The second hook 5 includes a second mounting portion 5-1 and a second overlapping portion 5-2. The second overlapping portion 5-2 forms an obtuse angle with the second mounting portion 5-1 and is inclined toward the scraper mounting plate 1-4.

[0051] The second overlapping portion 5-2 is further provided with a second overlapping groove 5-3. The second mounting portion 5-1 is connected to the first hook mounting plate 1-2. The second overlapping portion 5-2 extends out of the first hook mounting plate 1-2 and faces away from the scraper mounting plate 1-4.

[0052] The structures and installation positions of the third hook 6 and the fourth hook 7 are the same as those of the first hook 4 and the second hook 5 .

[0053] The first overlapping groove 4-3 and the second overlapping groove 5-3 are used to be clamped at the shaft diameters at both ends of the on-site raceway roller to fix the entire device.

[0054] As a preferred embodiment of this invention:

[0055] The scraper mounting plate 1-4 is also provided with a plurality of first U-shaped grooves on the side facing away from the connecting plate 1-1, and the hard scraper 2 is connected to the first U-shaped grooves by bolts; the plurality of first U-shaped grooves provided on the scraper mounting plate 1-4 facilitate adjustment of the relative position of the hard scraper 2 and the scraper mounting plate 1-4, that is, adjustment of the protruding length of the hard scraper 2 relative to the scraper mounting plate 1-4, so as to achieve the effect of coordinated work with the soft scraper 3, and avoid the situation where the hard scraper 2 contacts the roller but the soft scraper 3 is suspended in the air.

[0056] like Figure 6As shown, the first hook mounting plate 1-2 and the second hook mounting plate 1-3 are provided with a second U-shaped groove 8 at one end facing away from the connecting plate 1-1, and the first mounting portion 4-1 and the second mounting portion 5-1 are connected to the second U-shaped groove 8 by bolts; the second U-shaped groove 8 is designed to facilitate adjustment of the relative positions of the first hook 4 and the second hook 5 and the relative positions of the third hook 6 and the fourth hook 7. After appropriate adjustment, the screws are tightened to ensure reliable installation to adapt to equipment with different roller spacings.

[0057] The specific usage of this embodiment is as follows:

[0058] When using this mechanism, first adjust the relative positions of the hard scraper 2 and the scraper mounting plates 1-4, the relative positions of the first hook 4 and the second hook 5, and the relative positions of the third hook 6 and the fourth hook 7, so that the hard scraper 2 and the soft scraper 3 can fit the surface of the on-site raceway roller (the adhesion force is appropriate and does not affect the rolling of the roller). At the same time, the first hook 4 and the second hook 5 overlap the shaft diameter on one side of the adjacent roller, and the third hook 6 and the fourth hook 7 overlap the shaft diameter on the other side of the adjacent roller, forming a relatively fixed positional relationship.

[0059] When the workpiece coming off the production line is placed on the on-site roller conveyor for transmission, since the on-site roller conveyor is installed at a certain inclination angle and each roller is connected by bearing support, the worker can make the roller roll without power by gently pushing the workpiece, and the workpiece is transmitted to the next process position.

[0060] At this point, as the rollers roll, the cleaning mechanism designed in this project comes into play. First, the hard scraper blade 2, which contacts the roller surface, scrapes off any remaining large chips, which fall along the blade's slope into the raceway's chip tray. Below the scraper blade, the soft scraper blade 3, or felt, possesses a degree of flexibility and elasticity, adaptively conforming to the roller surface while further cleaning any remaining fine chips, oil, and other contaminants. After extended use, the dirty and worn felt can be removed and replaced with a new one.

[0061] Therefore, during the rolling process, the hard scraper 2 and soft scraper 3 structure can achieve a good adaptive graded cleaning effect on the roller surface. By cleaning the chips left on the raceway roller in real time, the risk of scratching the finished surface of the parts during the transmission process is avoided.

[0062] Because the mechanism utilizes the roller's own rotation during the transmission process, it is a non-powered structure. The elasticity and flexibility of the soft scraper 3 maintains an adaptive state and adheres to the roller surface, effectively and promptly removing residual chips and dirt from the roller surface. At the same time, the hooks at both ends are installed by snapping into the roller's shaft diameter at the site, with almost no changes to the on-site use conditions. The installation is simple and convenient, low cost, and effective.

[0063] The cleaner has been used in the production site and has received positive feedback from on-site workers.

[0064] The above technical solutions are only preferred specific implementation methods of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be thought of by any technician familiar with the field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention without creative work are all covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
