Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of drill chuck cleaning equipment, and more specifically, to an automatic cleaning device for drill chucks. Background Technology

[0002] Drill chucks are common accessories used to hold drill bits or other rotating tools, and are widely used in drilling machines, power tools, and other equipment. After use, oil, metal shavings, and other contaminants accumulated on the surface and inside the jaws and joints during assembly. These contaminants can cause the jaws to not hold the drill securely, and may even damage the drill bit during clamping, affecting machining accuracy. Some corrosive contaminants remaining on the surface of the drill chuck will accelerate wear and shorten its service life. Therefore, drill chucks need to be cleaned regularly.

[0003] Traditionally, drill chucks are cleaned manually using brushes and detergents, a time-consuming process. Given the large number of drill chucks and their frequent use, a high frequency of cleaning is required, making manual cleaning labor-intensive and time-consuming. While automated cleaning equipment exists on the market, offering advantages such as time and labor savings and lower labor costs compared to manual cleaning, it typically uses detergents for rinsing. Its complex structure, including cleaning chambers and a tilting mechanism, creates cleaning blind spots and results in less effective cleaning. Furthermore, the cleaning of drill chucks is done in batches within the cleaning chamber, preventing continuous cleaning and further reducing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention provides an automatic cleaning device for drill chucks, solving the issues of complex structure and low cleaning efficiency in existing drill chuck cleaning equipment. The device includes a support frame, a conveyor belt mounted on the support frame, and a drive mechanism for rotating the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt has at least one placement point, and the support frame has multiple sets of automatic detectors for detecting the placement points and multiple sets of cleaning components at different heights. The automatic detectors are electrically connected to the input terminal of the control module for the cleaning components.

[0005] Preferably, there are two automatic identifiers and two cleaning components; one cleaning component is located above the bracket, and the other cleaning component is located below the bracket.

[0006] Preferably, the conveyor belt includes two sets of parallel transverse sections and two sets of symmetrically arranged arc-shaped sections, with the arc-shaped sections and transverse sections connected to each other to form a closed loop structure.

[0007] Preferably, the cleaning assembly includes an air gun, an air hose, and an air pump connected in sequence, with the air pump electrically connected to the output of the control module.

[0008] Preferably, the placement points are evenly spaced and fixed on the conveyor belt.

[0009] Preferably, the support is fitted with a semi-enclosed protective cover, the opening of which is in the same direction as the feed inlet of the conveyor belt.

[0010] Preferably, an oil mist processor is provided on one side of the protective cover.

[0011] Preferably, a loading platform and a unloading platform are provided on both sides of the support, with the loading platform corresponding to the loading port of the conveyor belt and the unloading platform corresponding to the unloading port of the conveyor belt; a mounting truss is provided between the loading platform and the unloading platform, and a movable robot arm is provided on the mounting truss.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The support is equipped with multiple sets of automatic identifiers for detecting placement points and multiple sets of cleaning components. The automatic identifiers and cleaning components work together to sequentially clean the drill chucks at the placement points. The process is standardized and orderly, realizing the standardization and continuity of drill chuck cleaning operations, ensuring stable cleaning results, and facilitating large-scale batch application. The cleaning components can clean multiple drill chucks simultaneously, resulting in high cleaning efficiency. The multiple cleaning components are at different heights, and different cleaning components clean different parts of the drill chuck from different angles, working together to avoid cleaning dead spots and achieve good cleaning results. The cleaning components work with the automatic identifiers to start cleaning only when the placement point moves to the vicinity of the automatic identifier, reducing unnecessary energy waste. The entire device is fully automated, saving time and labor, reducing the labor intensity of workers, and improving work efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present application will now describe an automatic cleaning device for drill chucks provided in an embodiment.

[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The diagram below illustrates the structure of this utility model. The automatic cleaning device for drill chucks includes a support 2, a conveyor belt 5 mounted on the support 2, and a drive mechanism 9 for rotating the conveyor belt 5. In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 9 is a motor. The conveyor belt 5 has at least one placement point 10, and each placement point 10 has a drill chuck to be cleaned. Multiple drill chucks move with the placement points 10 and the conveyor belt 5. The support 2 has multiple sets of automatic detectors 7 for detecting the placement points 10 and multiple sets of cleaning components 6. The multiple sets of cleaning components 6 have different heights to clean the drill chucks from different angles, avoiding cleaning dead zones and improving the cleaning effect. The cleaning components 6 cooperate with the automatic detectors 7, and the cleaning components 6 are positioned close to the sensing position of the automatic detectors 7. The automatic detectors 7 are electrically connected to the input terminal of the control module of the cleaning components 6. Specifically, when the drill chuck moves to the vicinity of the automatic identifier 7 along with the placement point 10, the automatic identifier 7 detects the placement point 10 and sends a signal to the control module of the cleaning component 6. The control module controls the cleaning component 6 to perform a cleaning operation on the drill chuck at the placement point 10 detected by the automatic identifier 7.

[0023] In this embodiment, there are two automatic identifiers 7 and two cleaning components 6. The two automatic identifiers 7 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveyor belt 5. One cleaning component 6 is arranged above the bracket 2 to clean the upper half of the drill chuck from above, and the other cleaning component 6 is arranged below the bracket 2 to clean the lower half of the drill chuck from below.

[0024] Specifically, the conveyor belt 5 includes two sets of parallel transverse sections and two sets of symmetrically arranged arc sections. The arc sections and transverse sections are connected to each other to form a closed ring structure.

[0025] Specifically, the cleaning component 6 includes an air gun, an air hose, and an air pump connected in sequence. The air pump is electrically connected to the output of the control module. The nozzle of the air gun is positioned near the conveyor belt 5. When the placement point 10 moves to the vicinity of the automatic identifier 7, the control module receives a detection signal from the automatic identifier 7 and controls the air pump to start. The air pump blows air onto the drill chuck through the air hose and the air gun to clean the drill chuck at the placement point 10.

[0026] Furthermore, the placement points 10 are evenly spaced and fixed on the conveyor belt 5.

[0027] Furthermore, the support 2 is equipped with a semi-enclosed protective cover 4. The opening of the protective cover 4 is in the same direction as the feed port of the conveyor belt 5, which prevents oil mist from spreading out when the air gun blows air onto the drill chuck.

[0028] Furthermore, an oil mist processor 8 is provided on one side of the protective cover 4 to promptly recover and treat the oil mist blown away by the air gun, preventing oil mist from polluting the working environment.

[0029] Furthermore, a loading platform 1 and a unloading platform 11 are respectively provided on both sides of the support 2. The loading platform 1 corresponds to the loading port of the conveyor belt 5, and the unloading platform 11 corresponds to the unloading port of the conveyor belt 5. A mounting truss 12 is provided between the loading platform 1 and the unloading platform 11, and a movable robot arm 3 is provided on the mounting truss 12. In this embodiment, there are two robot arms 3. One robot arm 3 is responsible for loading, and the other robot arm 3 is responsible for unloading. They operate independently to realize the continuous cleaning operation of the drill chuck.

[0030] The working process of this utility model is as follows: The robotic arm 3 picks up the drill chuck to be cleaned from the loading platform 1 and places it on the placement point 10 of the conveyor belt 5. The drive mechanism 9 drives the conveyor belt 5 to rotate, and the placement point 10 drives the drill chuck to rotate together. When the placement point 10 moves to the vicinity of the first automatic identifier 7, the automatic identifier 7 detects the placement point 10 and sends a signal to the control module of the corresponding cleaning component 6. The control module starts the air pump, and the air gun sprays air from above the bracket 2 to clean the drill chuck on the placement point 10. The drill chuck continues to move with the placement point 10 and the conveyor belt 5. When the placement point 10 moves to the vicinity of the second automatic identifier 7, the automatic identifier 7 detects the placement point 10 and sends a signal to the control module of the corresponding cleaning component 6. The control module starts the air pump, and the air gun sprays air from below the bracket 2 to clean the drill chuck on the placement point 10. After the drill chuck completes two cleaning cycles, it moves to the discharge port of the conveyor belt 5, and the robotic arm 3 picks up the cleaned drill chuck and places it on the unloading platform 11.

[0031] In this invention, the support 2 is equipped with multiple sets of automatic identifiers 7 and multiple sets of cleaning components 6 for detecting the placement points 10. The automatic identifiers 7 and cleaning components 6 work together to sequentially clean the drill chucks at the placement points 10. The process is standardized and orderly, realizing the standardization and continuity of drill chuck cleaning operations, ensuring stable cleaning results, and facilitating large-scale batch application. The cleaning components 6 can clean multiple drill chucks simultaneously, resulting in high cleaning efficiency. The multiple cleaning components 6 are at different heights, and each component cleans different parts of the drill chuck from different angles, working together to avoid cleaning dead spots and achieve good cleaning results. The cleaning components 6 work with the automatic identifiers 7 to start cleaning only when the placement point 10 moves to the vicinity of the automatic identifier 7, reducing unnecessary energy waste. The entire device is fully automated, saving time and labor, reducing the labor intensity of workers, and improving work efficiency.
