Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cleaning device technology, and more particularly to a brake pad cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Brake pads, also known as brake discs, are the most critical safety component in a car's braking system. The effectiveness of braking depends entirely on the brake pads. Brake pads generally consist of a steel plate, an adhesive heat-insulating layer, and friction blocks. The heat-insulating layer is made of a non-heat-conducting material for heat insulation. The friction blocks are composed of friction materials and adhesives, and during braking, they are pressed against the brake disc and brake drum to generate friction, thereby achieving the purpose of decelerating and braking the vehicle.

[0003] In the brake pad manufacturing process, the steel plate needs to be cleaned after punching to remove surface oil and dirt, ensuring the bonding quality with the friction block later. After the steel plate and friction block are assembled, painting and other operations are required on the other side of the steel plate, necessitating another cleaning operation on that side. Current cleaning methods mostly involve manually stacking the plates on cleaning fixtures and then using ultrasonic cleaning and brush scrubbing. This process requires manual handling and is physically demanding, and batch cleaning results in relatively low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention discloses a brake pad cleaning device, including a bracket with a conveying wire mesh mounted on its upper end. A first housing and a second housing are fixedly connected to the bracket, and the upper section of the conveying wire mesh passes through through holes opened on the sides of the first and second housings. Brake pad workpieces are placed on the conveying wire mesh and conveyed sequentially through the second and first housings, achieving cleaning of the workpiece. The conveying wire mesh also reduces obstruction to the lower surface of the workpiece.

[0005] The second housing contains several cleaning rollers, each with brushes on its sidewalls. It also contains a second water pipe and a first water pipe. The second water pipe has several second nozzles evenly spaced, and the first water pipe has several first nozzles evenly spaced. In use, cleaning fluid is introduced through the second water pipe, and clean water is introduced through the first water pipe. The cleaning fluid is sprayed onto the workpiece through the second and first nozzles, pre-spraying the workpiece with the cleaning fluid. Then, the cleaning rollers rotate to brush the top and bottom surfaces of the workpiece, followed by rinsing with clean water.

[0006] A steam generator is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first housing, and the output end of the steam generator is located inside the first housing. The steam is sprayed onto the workpiece and liquefied for further rinsing. Since the steam does not contain ions, the rinsing is more thorough. At the same time, the steam heats the workpiece, and after it leaves the first housing, the surface moisture evaporates due to the heat of the workpiece itself, eliminating the need for a cooling device.

[0007] Preferably, the cleaning rollers are arranged in pairs, one above the other, with the conveying wire mesh passing between the pairs of cleaning rollers. This arrangement allows the cleaning rollers to clean both the top and bottom surfaces of the workpiece.

[0008] Preferably, a gear is fixedly connected to the shaft at one end of the cleaning roller, and the gears on the same set of cleaning rollers mesh with each other. A first motor is provided at the end of the lower cleaning roller. When the first motor is started, the cleaning rollers in the same set rotate in opposite directions under the meshing transmission of the gears, and respectively brush the upper and lower surfaces of the workpiece. Multiple sets of cleaning rollers are provided, and the first motor on each set can control the rotation state of each set of cleaning rollers.

[0009] Preferably, an outer shell is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second housing, and the gear is located on the outside of the second housing and enclosed by the outer shell. The outer shell serves a protective function, preventing the gear structure from being exposed and increasing the safety of installation and use.

[0010] Preferably, a first drain pipe is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first housing, and a second drain pipe is fixedly connected to the lower end of the second housing. The first drain pipe is used to drain the water generated by steam liquefaction, and a water inlet pipe is further provided on the steam generator. The second drain pipe is used to drain the wastewater after cleaning.

[0011] Preferably, a second motor is fixedly connected to the upper end of the support, and the output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to the end conveying roller of the wire mesh conveyor. Starting the second motor enables the wire mesh conveyor to operate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0013] 1. Equipped with a conveyor wire mesh, the workpiece is placed on it for conveying, which can reduce manpower consumption, and the continuous conveying method greatly improves the cleaning efficiency.

[0014] 2. The cleaning roller is installed, and the cleaning roller clamps the workpiece from top to bottom to clean both the top and bottom surfaces. Then, steam is sprayed. The above method greatly improves the cleaning effect. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following specific embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, and the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a brake pad cleaning device includes a bracket 1, which includes four vertically arranged rods and a horizontal bar connecting the vertical rods. A conveying wire mesh 2 is mounted on the upper end of the bracket 1, meaning that the conveying structure is made of woven steel wire. The lower end face of the workpiece placed on the conveying wire mesh 2 is exposed as much as possible. A first housing 3 and a second housing 8 are fixedly connected to the bracket 1. The upper section of the conveying wire mesh 2 passes through through holes opened on the sides of the first housing 3 and the second housing 8. The workpiece placed on the conveying wire mesh 2 passes through the second housing 8 and the first housing 3 in sequence to complete the cleaning and drying process.

[0023] The second housing 8 contains several cleaning rollers 15, and the side walls of the cleaning rollers 15 are equipped with brushes. During cleaning, the cleaning rollers 15 rotate to brush the surface of the workpiece. The second housing 8 also contains a second water pipe 12 and a first water pipe 11. The second water pipe 12 has several second nozzles 14 evenly spaced, and the first water pipe 11 has several first nozzles 13 evenly spaced. As the cleaning rollers 15 rotate, the second nozzles 14 spray cleaning fluid, while the first nozzles 13 spray clean water. The workpiece is pre-treated with the cleaning fluid and then cleaned. Furthermore, it is noted that the cleaning rollers 15 near the side openings of the second housing 8, during rotation, sweep the liquid towards the center of the second housing 8 to reduce outward splashing.

[0024] A steam generator 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the first housing 3. The steam generator 5 includes a water storage container and a heating structure is provided in the water storage container to heat and evaporate the water to obtain steam. The output end of the steam generator 5 is located inside the first housing 3, that is, the steam is sprayed onto the workpiece to further improve the cleanliness of the workpiece surface and heat the workpiece at the same time. After the workpiece is sent out of the first housing 3, the heat of the workpiece itself will evaporate the residual moisture on the surface of the workpiece.

[0025] Two cleaning rollers 15 are arranged in a group and positioned one above the other. The conveying wire mesh 2 passes between the group of cleaning rollers 15, that is, the workpiece passes between the two cleaning rollers 15, so that the upper and lower surfaces of the workpiece are brushed.

[0026] A gear 16 is fixedly connected to the shaft at one end of the cleaning roller 15, and the gears 16 on the same set of cleaning rollers 15 mesh with each other. A first motor 6 is provided at the end of the lower cleaning roller 15. When the first motor 6 is started, it works in conjunction with the transmission of the gear 16 to achieve the brushing of the workpiece. Furthermore, multiple sets of cleaning rollers 15 are provided, and each set is equipped with a first motor 6, that is, each set of cleaning rollers 15 can be independently controlled to rotate. At this time, when the cleaning roller 15 near the side opening of the second housing 8 rotates, it sweeps the liquid towards the middle of the second housing 8 to prevent splashing out of the opening.

[0027] The second housing 8 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the outer shell 10. The outer shell 10 is a rectangular thin shell. The gear 16 is located on the outside of the second housing 8 and is wrapped by the outer shell 10. That is, the outer shell 10 shields the gear 16, increasing the safety of the device operation.

[0028] The lower end of the first housing 3 is fixedly connected to a first drain pipe 4, which discharges liquefied water from the first housing 3. The lower end of the second housing 8 is fixedly connected to a second drain pipe 7, which drains the cleaned water from the second housing 8.

[0029] A second motor 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the bracket 1. The output end of the second motor 9 is fixedly connected to the end conveying roller of the conveying wire mesh 2. When the second motor 9 is started, the conveying roller is started to rotate, thereby realizing the operation of conveying the wire mesh 2.

[0030] The technical means disclosed in this invention are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features.
