Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of parts powder cleaning, in particular to a large parts powder cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] As powder printing equipment matures, the format and height of the parts being formed gradually increase. After the parts are printed, residual powder is stored inside and needs to be cleaned before the next step. As the size of the parts increases, the difficulty of cleaning the parts also gradually increases.

[0003] The difficulty in part cleaning is primarily due to the spatial transformation of large parts, which makes it easy for powder to fall off the part surface or flow out through internal flow channels. For large parts, which often weigh tons and are tall, flipping and clamping them while minimizing space and avoiding excessive height is challenging. Furthermore, conventional structural arrangements also require a high driving force for flipping, which poses a significant structural and actuation challenge.

[0004] In addition, for the safety of equipment and personnel, the clamping of large parts must ensure that the parts are transported with a low center of gravity to prevent accidents caused by adverse factors such as rollover.

[0005] Based on this, a large-scale parts powder cleaning device with small space occupation, small drive and low loading and unloading risk is proposed for the powder cleaning method of heavy parts. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a large parts powder cleaning device in view of the deficiencies of the above-mentioned prior art, so as to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0010] As a further illustration of the present invention, the base is composed of two supports that are symmetrically arranged with respect to each other, and two shock-absorbing feet are installed at the bottom end of each of the supports.

[0014] As a further description of the present utility model, the rotating component is of a U-shaped structure, and the vertical center position of the U-shaped structure of the rotating component is basically at the same height as the flipping axis of the flipping component.

[0015] As a further description of the present utility model, a vibrator is also connected to the shock-absorbing component.

[0026] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0027] As Figure 1 shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a large part powder cleaning device, including a base 1, a tipping component 2, a rotating component 3, a shock-absorbing component 4 and a part mounting plate 6;

[0028] Among them, the base 1 is composed of two symmetrically arranged supports, and two shock-absorbing floor feet 9 are installed at the bottom end of each support. During use, shock-absorbing operations can be performed through the shock-absorbing floor feet 9.

[0029] A tipping component 2 is rotatably connected in the middle of the base 1, and a rotating component 3 is rotatably connected inside the tipping component 2;

[0030] Specifically, the tipping component 2 is rotatably connected between the two supports, and the tipping component 2 is controlled to tip through a tipping motor provided inside the tipping component 2, and the tipping angle is greater than 180°.

[0031] The tipping component 2 is used to realize the tipping of the part in the vertical direction, and the rotating component 3 is used to realize the rotation of the part in the horizontal direction. The specific structures of both can be any mechanical structures in the prior art that can realize the tipping and rotation functions. In this embodiment, one implementation method is listed. Specifically, the tipping component 2 includes a U-shaped tipping frame, a tipping drive and a reducer. The tipping drive drives the rotation of the bearings on one or both sides of the U-shaped tipping frame through the reducer to drive the U-shaped structure to tip. The tipping drive is specifically a motor, a hydraulic motor or a pneumatic motor; the rotating component 3 includes a U-shaped rotating frame, a rotating drive and a reducer. The rotating drive is fixed on the top of the U-shaped tipping frame. The rotating drive is specifically a motor, a hydraulic motor or a pneumatic motor; the rotating drive drives the U-shaped structure of the rotating component 3 to complete a 360° rotation operation inside the tipping component 2.

[0032] The tipping component 2 and the rotating component 3 are controlled independently, so that the tipping operation of the tipping component 2 and the rotation operation of the rotating component 3 can be controlled independently.

[0033] As Figure 1 As shown in the position, the top of the U-shaped structure of the rotating component 3 is rotatably connected to the top of the U-shaped structure of the flip component 2. Shock-absorbing components 4 are installed on both sides of the rotating component 3 near the bottom. The mounting plate 6 is detachably fixed to the bottom end of the shock-absorbing component 4. The rotating position and the mounting plate of the rotating component 3 are respectively arranged at the upper and lower ends, which is convenient for the disassembly of the part 8 in the part powder cleaning device.

[0034] The vertical center position of the convex structure of the rotating component 3 is substantially at the same height as the flip axis of the flip component 2. The part mounting plate 6 and the bottom substrate of the part 8 are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the convex structure of the rotating component 3 relative to the rotation axis of the rotating component 3. Figure 1 In the position shown, during the flipping operation, the structural components of the flipping assembly 2 and the structural components of the rotating assembly 3 are located on one side of the base 1, and the part mounting plate 6 and the bottom substrate of the part 8 are located on the other side of the base 1, so that they can cooperate with each other to form a force balance state, which can effectively reduce the driving force required for flipping.

[0035] Shock-absorbing assemblies 4 are installed near the bottom of both sides of the rotating assembly 3. The shock-absorbing assemblies 4 are composed of multiple spring shock-absorbing rods installed in parallel at equal intervals. A vibrator 5 is also connected to the shock-absorbing assembly 4. The change of the spatial position of the part 8 and the cleaning of powder are achieved by controlling the vibrator 5.

[0036] The part mounting plate 6 fixes the bottom end of the shock absorbing assembly 4 , and the part mounting plate 6 is used to complete the installation of the part 8 to be cleaned. Specifically, the part 8 is fixed on the part mounting plate 6 by bolts.

[0037] Since the vibrator 5, the shock absorbing assembly 4, the part mounting plate 6 and the part 8 are fixedly connected, the vibration force acts directly on the part 8. The shock absorbing assembly 4 serves as a shock absorbing system between the vibrator 5 and the rotating assembly 3, and is a primary shock absorbing system to prevent the vibration force from being transmitted to the ground. Therefore, secondary shock absorption can be performed between the base 1 and the ground through the shock absorbing feet 9.

[0038] The parts 8 can be installed on the parts mounting plate 6 by the transfer vehicle 7. Figure 1 As shown, when the part 8 is clamped, the part 8 and the part mounting plate 6 are moved to the bottom of the shock absorbing assembly 4 with the cooperation of the transfer vehicle 7. After the part mounting plate 6 and the shock absorbing assembly 4 are fastened together, the transfer vehicle can be withdrawn to realize the lifting-free clamping of the part 8.

[0039] Alternatively, the parts mounting plate 6 has been fixedly installed on the shock absorbing assembly 4 in advance, and the parts 8 are lifted from the side at a low position to the parts mounting plate 6 by a forklift, and then fastened to the parts mounting plate 6 to complete the lifting.

[0040] After the part 8 is clamped, the flipping of the flipping component 2 and the rotation of the rotating component 3 are synchronized. During this period, the vibrator 5 is controlled to complete the part space change and powder cleaning, so that the powder cleaning of large parts can be completed, which is economical and practical.
