Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment, in particular to a microporous ceramic suction cup cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] Ceramic materials refer to a class of inorganic, non-metallic materials made from natural or synthetic compounds through forming and high-temperature sintering. They possess advantages such as a high melting point, high hardness, high wear resistance, and oxidation resistance. They can be used as structural materials and tool materials. Due to their unique properties, ceramics can also be used as functional materials. In actual production, retrieving equipment is required to retrieve workpieces from the production line. Existing retrieving methods primarily include vibration retrieving, clamping retrieving, and suction retrieving. Suction retrieving uses a suction cup to absorb the workpiece, which can avoid damage and is therefore widely used in industrial production. There are many types of suction cups, the most widely used of which is the vacuum cup. These utilize the difference in atmospheric pressure inside and outside the vacuum cup to attach to an object, or as a tool for grasping objects. The vacuum suction cup does not have high requirements for the workpiece, and the workpiece does not need to be ferromagnetic material. During the adsorption and material collection process, some items will generate static electricity when the vacuum suction cup adsorbs the items. For some special items, the suction cup needs to be anti-static. In order to prevent static electricity, some suction cups use ceramic plates to remove static electricity. Therefore, ceramic vacuum suction cups are suitable for various workpieces and are widely used.

[0003] At present, after the ceramic suction cup is produced, it needs to be cleaned and unblocked. In the existing technology, this process is generally completed by manually using a handheld spray gun to clean the ceramic suction cup with a combination of high-pressure clean water and compressed air. This method consumes labor, is cumbersome to operate, and has low efficiency, which brings inconvenience to production operations. Utility Model Content

[0046] The working principle of this embodiment is described in detail as follows:

[0047] During operation, first, the ceramic suction cup 40 to be cleaned is put into the opening of the cleaning chamber 11 and placed on the placement platform 12; then, the equipment is started, and the controller 20 controls the cylinder 52 to work, so that the sliding door 51 descends and closes the opening of the cleaning chamber 11; then, the controller 20 controls the centering and positioning mechanism 30 to work, so as to center and position the ceramic suction cup 40. Specifically, the motor 33 works and drives the screw rod 32 to rotate, so that the two slides 34 approach each other, so that the positioning columns 35 on the two slides 34 abut against the two sides of the ceramic suction cup 40, and then, the pressing cylinder 36 works and drives the pressing block 37 to move downward, so that the pressing block 37 presses against the two side surfaces of the ceramic suction cup 40 to prevent the ceramic suction cup 40 from moving or colliding and being damaged during the cleaning process; then, High-pressure clean water is introduced into the water pipe 42, and the high-pressure clean water is output from the groove 101 through the cleaning pipe 41 to dredge and clean the ceramic suction cup 40. When the clean water cleaning is completed, the input of high-pressure clean water is stopped, and then compressed air is introduced into the air pipe 43, and the compressed air is output from the groove 101 through the cleaning pipe 41 to dredge and dry the ceramic suction cup 40. At this time, the cleaning of the ceramic suction cup 40 is completed. Next, the controller 20 controls the centering and positioning mechanism 30 to work to loosen the ceramic suction cup 40, and then the controller 20 controls the cylinder 52 to work, so that the sliding door 51 rises and opens the opening of the cleaning chamber 11. At this time, the cleaned ceramic suction cup 40 can be taken out from the cleaning chamber 11, and the above-mentioned actions are repeated to clean the next ceramic suction cup 40.

[0048] The design focus of the utility model is: by placing the ceramic suction cup on the placement platform of the cleaning cavity, using the centering positioning mechanism to position and press the ceramic suction cup, and cooperating to introduce high-pressure clean water and compressed air into the water pipe and the air pipe respectively, the ceramic suction cup can be automatically cleaned and unblocked, which effectively saves labor, is easier to operate, and greatly improves production efficiency, bringing convenience to production operations.
