Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to a cleaning device for a ball cage retainer, in particular to a cleaning device for a vehicle ball cage retainer. Background Art
[0002] Since there are several evenly distributed square holes on the outer spherical surface of the ball cage retainer, after the outer spherical surface is ground, grinding wheel powder and metal powder will stick to the walls of the square holes. These grinding wheel powder and metal powders stuck to the walls of the square holes will cause instability in the inner spherical surface grinding process of the next step, which may easily lead to the shape and size of the inner spherical surface being out of tolerance and causing the workpiece to be scrapped. Therefore, a cleaning device is required to clean the produced ball cage retainer.
[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN219112303U discloses a machine for cleaning ball cages, relating to the field of ball cage processing technology. The machine comprises a guide plate and a ball cage, the guide plate comprising an inclined plate and a horizontal plate. The inclined plate has a chute formed on its body, and a rectangular groove connected to the chute is formed at the bottom of the inclined plate. The ball cage is positioned within the chute, and a blocking mechanism and a limiting mechanism are provided at the bottom of the rectangular groove. The blocking mechanism is located to the left of the limiting mechanism, and a rolling mechanism is provided on top of the limiting mechanism. The rolling mechanism comprises a T-shaped bracket.
[0004] However, the above patent has the following shortcomings:
[0005] The ball cage holder is blocked and lifted by a limiting mechanism and a blocking mechanism, the ball cage holder is driven to rotate by a rolling mechanism, and then cleaned by a cleaning mechanism. After cleaning, the ball cage holder is blown dry by a drying mechanism. The setting of this device improves the cleaning efficiency, but the above-mentioned mechanism requires the cooperation of a driving structure such as a first telescopic rod, a second telescopic rod and a driving motor to complete the cleaning and transportation of the ball cage holder, thereby increasing the power consumption of the device, and the setting of multiple driving structures will increase the failure rate of the device and increase the maintenance cost of the device. Utility Model Content
[0006] The utility model provides a cleaning device for a vehicle ball cage holder, which aims to solve the problem mentioned in the above background technology that the above-mentioned mechanism needs to cooperate with a driving structure such as a first telescopic rod, a second telescopic rod and a driving motor to complete the cleaning and transportation of the ball cage holder, thereby increasing the power consumption of the device, and the setting of multiple driving structures will increase the failure rate of the device and increase the maintenance cost of the device.

[0008] A position limiting and conveying mechanism for limiting and conveying the ball cage holder is provided in the middle of the installation frame;
[0009] A driving mechanism for driving the ball cage holder to rotate and driving the limiting conveying mechanism is provided at the bottom of the limiting conveying mechanism.
[0010] Preferably, the cleaning mechanism includes a first fixed frame, the first fixed frame is set to an "inverted U" shape, the bottom of the first fixed frame is fixedly connected to the installation frame, a connecting pipe is provided through the middle of the first fixed frame, and the bottom of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the nozzle;
[0011] The water flow is delivered to the nozzle through the connecting pipe, and the high-pressure water flow can be sprayed out through the nozzle, so that the ball cage retainer can be cleaned.

[0013] A limiting roller is rotatably provided on one side of the limiting frame away from the installation frame, and the number of the limiting rollers is set to two;
[0014] When multiple cages are placed on the guide rollers, they roll along the inclined guide rollers under the action of gravity. When the opening direction of the limit frame is opposite to the rolling direction of the cage, the cage in the front row enters the limit frame. Then, as the cage rotates counterclockwise and the opening direction of the limit frame aligns with the rolling direction of the cage, the cage leaves the limit frame under the action of gravity.
[0015] By cycling the above process, the ball cage holder on the guide roller can be transported from one side of the limit frame to the other side of the limit frame in sequence. When the ball cage holder is in the limit frame, the nozzle is at the top of the ball cage holder, so that the ball cage holder can be cleaned.
[0016] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a second rotating shaft, a driven transmission wheel, and a second fixed frame, wherein the second rotating shaft is arranged to pass through the mounting frame, the second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the mounting frame, the middle portion of the outer circumference of the second rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the driving wheel, and both ends of the second rotating shaft are fixedly connected to the active transmission wheel;
[0017] The number of the driven transmission wheels is set to two, and the two driven transmission wheels are fixedly connected to the two first rotating shafts respectively, and a transmission belt is provided between the driven transmission wheel and the adjacent driving transmission wheel;

[0019] When the ball cage holder is inside the limit frame, the bottom of the ball cage holder will abut against the driving wheel, and at the same time, the limiting roller inside the limit frame will provide a certain support to the outer periphery of the ball cage holder. Then, by starting the stepper motor, the second rotating shaft can be driven to rotate. At this time, the second rotating shaft will drive the ball cage holder inside the limit frame to rotate through the driving wheel, so that the high-pressure water flow sprayed by the nozzle can clean all the peripheral surfaces of the ball cage holder.
[0020] When the second rotating shaft rotates, it can drive the active transmission wheels at both ends to rotate. At this time, the two rotating transmission wheels will respectively drive the two limit frames to rotate synchronously through the two first rotating shafts. Therefore, the ball cage retainer and the limit frame can be driven simultaneously by a stepper motor, which makes the maintenance of the device easier.
[0021] Preferably, the limit frame is set to be C-shaped, the limit frame matches the guide rail, and guide wheels are rotatably provided at both ends of the limit frame;
[0022] By arranging guide wheels at both ends of the limit frame, when the limit frame rotates and rubs against the adjacent ball cage retainer, the sliding friction between the end of the limit frame and the ball cage retainer is converted into rolling friction of the guide wheels through the rotation of the guide wheels, thereby preventing the surface of the ball cage retainer from being scratched.

In addition, only one stepper motor is needed for driving in the above structure, which can reduce the consumption of electric energy and facilitate the maintenance of the device.

[0045] Furthermore, the driving mechanism 4 includes a second rotating shaft 41, a driven transmission wheel 42, and a second fixed frame 43.

[0049] The working principle and use process of this utility model:

When the opening direction of the limit frames 31 is opposite to the rolling direction of the ball cage holders, the ball cage holder in the front row will enter the limit frames 31. Then, as the ball cage holders rotate counterclockwise and the opening direction of the limit frames 31 is consistent with the rolling direction of the ball cage holders, the ball cage holders will leave the limit frames 31 under the action of gravity.
[0051] During the rotation of the limit frame 31, the rotation of the second rotating shaft 41 will simultaneously drive the driving wheel 44 to rotate. Because the cage holder is inside the limit frame 31, the bottom of the cage holder will be against the driving wheel 44. At the same time, the limiting roller 33 inside the limit frame 31 will provide a certain support for the outer periphery of the cage holder. Therefore, the second rotating shaft 41 will drive the cage holder inside the limit frame 31 to rotate through the driving wheel 44, so that the high-pressure water flow sprayed by the nozzle 23 can clean all the peripheral surfaces of the cage holder.
