Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electroplating technology, specifically a cleaning and drying device for plated parts. Background Technology

[0002] After electroplating, the parts need to undergo cleaning, air cutting, and drying processes. Traditional manufacturing methods separate these processes, and the transfer of parts between adjacent processes greatly reduces work efficiency. In addition, during the transfer between adjacent processes, the parts are exposed to air for a long time, which makes them prone to oxidation, and dust in the air can easily fall onto the surface of the parts.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, as described in the text of Chinese Patent No. CN216048971U entitled "A Cleaning and Drying System for Automotive Metal Electroplating Parts," a cleaning module, an air-cutting module, a drying module, and a cooling module are sequentially arranged on a frame. A conveyor belt carries the metal electroplating parts through each module in sequence, allowing the parts to be washed by the nozzles of the cleaning module, blown by the nozzles of the air-cutting module, dried in the drying chamber of the drying module, and cooled by the cooling fan of the cooling module, thus completing a series of processing steps for the metal electroplating parts in a continuous manner.

[0004] However, the cleaning and drying system described in the cited patent not only has a large footprint, but also has multiple modules that still work independently, resulting in high equipment costs, which urgently need to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to avoid and overcome the technical problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a cleaning and drying device for plated parts, which has the advantages of compact structure and low cost.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A cleaning and drying device for plated parts includes a cleaning tank with the opening facing upwards. A wind-cutting component and a drying component are arranged sequentially from bottom to top on the side of the opening of the cleaning tank. The nozzle of the wind-cutting component has two air outlet paths. The drying area is the area directly above the opening of the cleaning tank at the same height as the drying component. The two air outlet paths are inclined upwards towards the drying area and inclined downwards towards the opening of the cleaning tank, respectively.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the air cutting component includes an air duct and a nozzle connected to the ventilation duct. The nozzle is a long strip structure arranged along the edge of the cleaning tank, and the cross-section of the side wall of the nozzle adjacent to the opening of the cleaning tank is a convex V-shaped structure. A set of spray holes is provided on each of the two inclined sides of the nozzle, and the gas ejection paths of the two sets of spray holes form two air outlet paths inclined upward and inclined downward, respectively.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model, the number of nozzles in each group is set to several evenly distributed along the length of the nozzle.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a set of air-cutting components and a set of drying components constitute a set of air-cutting and drying units, which are arranged as two sets distributed on both sides of the length of the cleaning tank.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: the two sets of air-cutting and drying units are respectively installed on two sets of adjusting seats, and the distance between the two sets of adjusting seats is adjustable.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the drying assembly includes a heating plate fixed inside the adjusting seat, the surface of the heating plate is arranged vertically, and the length direction of the heating plate is parallel to the length direction of the cleaning tank.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model, it also includes two cylinders respectively installed on both sides of the end of the cleaning tank. The cylinders extend and retract in the vertical direction, and a fly bar for suspending the hanger is installed between the extension and retraction ends of the two cylinders.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model: the telescopic end of the cylinder is fixed with a bracket, the top of the bracket is provided with a concave groove, and both ends of the flybar are provided with locking blocks that engage with the groove.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] 1. After the workpiece is cleaned in the cleaning tank and moved upwards from the tank opening, when it reaches the tank opening, the nozzles of the air-cutting component initially blow high-speed air onto the workpiece along a downward-sloping airflow path, thus initially removing residual liquid. Subsequently, the workpiece continues to move upwards to the drying zone, where the drying component heats and dries it, and the nozzles of the air-cutting component then blow high-speed air onto it a second time along an upward-sloping airflow path. This continued airflow into the drying zone not only improves the removal of residual liquid but also increases the airflow speed, enhancing the drying effect. In this invention, the cleaning tank, air-cutting component, and drying component are arranged vertically in sequence, enabling integrated continuous operation of cleaning, air-cutting, and drying. The air-cutting component, in conjunction with the drying component, assists in drying, resulting in a compact structure, small footprint, and low cost.

[0017] 2. By utilizing the outward-protruding V-shaped structure of the nozzle sidewall and arranging spray holes on the inclined sidewall, the nozzle can achieve two exhaust paths, one inclined upwards and the other downwards. Therefore, there is no need to set up multiple sets of nozzles and multiple sets of fans, further reducing the cost of the device.

[0018] 3. The air-cutting and drying units are set up in two groups distributed on both sides of the length of the cleaning tank. By adopting the form of air-cutting and drying on both sides, uniform air-cutting and drying of the outer periphery of the workpiece to be plated can be achieved.

[0019] 4. The two sets of air-cutting and drying units are installed on two sets of adjusting seats respectively. The distance between the two sets of adjusting seats is adjustable. By adjusting the position of the adjusting seats, the distance between the two sets of air-cutting and drying units can be adjusted to adapt to the air-cutting and drying operations of plating parts of different sizes.

[0020] 5. Cylinders are installed on both sides of the cleaning tank. The cylinders extend and retract vertically, and a suspender bar is installed between the extension and retraction ends of the two cylinders for suspending the hangers. In use, the workpiece to be plated is fixed on the hanger and then suspended on the suspender bar. The cylinders then drive the workpiece to be plated to move up and down in the cleaning tank to achieve automated cleaning. After cleaning, the cylinders can automatically drive the workpiece to be plated to be detached from the cleaning tank, and then perform air cutting and drying operations in sequence, realizing automated operation of cleaning, air cutting and drying.

[0021] 6. A bracket is fixed to the telescopic end of the cylinder, and a recessed groove is provided on the top of the bracket. Both ends of the flybar are equipped with locking blocks that engage with the groove. This achieves quick fixation between the cylinder and the flybar. In actual implementation, the flybar, hanger, and plated parts can be treated as a single cleaning unit. After cleaning by this unit, a new cleaning unit can be quickly disassembled and replaced for further cleaning, effectively improving the efficiency of cleaning large batches of plated parts.

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] For ease of understanding, the specific structure and working method of this utility model are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0029] The specific structure of this utility model is as follows: Figure 1-4 As shown, its main structure includes a cleaning tank 10 with its opening facing upwards, and an air-cutting assembly 20 and a drying assembly 30 arranged sequentially from bottom to top on the side of the opening of the cleaning tank 10. The nozzle 22 of the air-cutting assembly 20 has two air outlet paths. The drying zone is located at the same height as the drying assembly 30 directly above the opening of the cleaning tank 10. The two air outlet paths are inclined upwards towards the drying zone and inclined downwards towards the opening of the cleaning tank 10, respectively. In this invention, the cleaning tank 10 is used to hold the cleaning solution. Its water inlet and drainage pipes are existing designs and will not be described in detail here. During operation, after the workpiece is cleaned in the cleaning tank 10, it is moved upwards from the opening of the cleaning tank 10 by manual labor or a lifting mechanism. When the workpiece reaches the opening of the cleaning tank 10, the nozzle 22 of the air-cutting assembly 20 blows air at high speed onto the workpiece along the inclined downward air outlet path, thereby initially blowing away the residual liquid on the workpiece. Subsequently, the workpiece continues to move upwards to the drying zone, where the drying assembly 30 heats and dries it. A second high-speed airflow is then applied to the workpiece via the nozzles 22 of the air-cutting assembly 20 along an upward-sloping air outlet path. This continued airflow into the drying zone not only improves the removal of residual liquid from the workpiece but also increases the airflow speed, thus enhancing the drying effect. In this invention, the cleaning tank 10, air-cutting assembly 20, and drying assembly 30 are arranged vertically in sequence, enabling integrated continuous operation of cleaning, air-cutting, and drying. The air-cutting assembly 20, in conjunction with the drying assembly 30, assists in drying, resulting in a compact structure, small footprint, and low cost.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the air-cutting assembly 20 includes an air duct 21 and a nozzle 22 connected to the air duct 21. The nozzle 22 is an elongated structure arranged along the edge of the cleaning tank 10. The cross-section of the sidewall of the nozzle 22 adjacent to the opening of the cleaning tank 10 has an outwardly convex V-shaped structure. A set of nozzle holes 221 is provided on each of the two inclined sides of the nozzle 22, and the gas ejected from the two sets of nozzle holes 221 forms two air outlet paths, one inclined upward and one inclined downward. In this embodiment, by utilizing the outwardly convex V-shaped structure of the nozzle 22's sidewall and arranging nozzle holes 221 on the inclined sidewall, the nozzle 22 achieves two air outlet paths, one inclined upward and one inclined downward, for exhaust. Therefore, there is no need to set up multiple sets of nozzles 22 and multiple sets of fan structures, further reducing the cost of the device.

[0031] Based on the above, such as Figure 4 As shown, the number of nozzles 221 in each group is set to be several evenly distributed along the length of the nozzle 22, which increases the coverage of the nozzle 22 to achieve air cutting operation on most or large-volume parts to be plated.

[0032] Further, such as Figure 1 As shown, a set of air-cutting components 20 and a set of drying components 30 constitute an air-cutting and drying unit, which is set up in two sets distributed on both sides of the length of the cleaning tank 10. By adopting the form of air-cutting and drying on both sides, uniform air-cutting and drying of the outer periphery of the workpiece to be plated can be achieved.

[0033] Furthermore, the two sets of air-cutting and drying units are respectively installed on two sets of adjusting seats 70. The distance between the two sets of adjusting seats 70 is adjustable. By adjusting the position of the adjusting seats 70, the distance between the two sets of air-cutting and drying units can be adjusted to adapt to the air-cutting and drying operations of plating parts of different sizes.

[0034] Based on the above, the drying assembly 30 includes a heating plate 31 fixed inside the adjusting seat 70. The heating plate 31 is arranged vertically, and the length direction of the heating plate 31 is parallel to the length direction of the washing tank 10, so as to realize a large-area drying operation.

[0035] Based on the above, it also includes two cylinders 40 respectively installed on both sides of the end of the cleaning tank 10. The cylinders 40 extend and retract in the vertical direction, and a fly bar 50 for suspending the hanger 60 is installed between the extension and retraction ends of the two cylinders 40. In use, the workpiece to be plated is fixed on the hanger 60 and then suspended on the fly bar 50. The cylinders 40 can drive the workpiece to be plated to move up and down in the cleaning tank 10 to achieve automated cleaning. After cleaning, the cylinders 40 can automatically drive the workpiece to be plated to detach from the cleaning tank 10 and perform air cutting and drying operations in sequence, realizing the automation of cleaning, air cutting and drying operations.

[0036] Furthermore, a bracket 41 is fixed to the telescopic end of the cylinder 40. The top of the bracket 41 has a recessed groove, and both ends of the flybar 50 have locking blocks 51 that engage with the groove. This achieves rapid fixation between the cylinder 40 and the flybar 50. In practical implementation, the flybar 50, the hanger 60, and the plated parts can be treated as a single cleaning unit. After cleaning by this unit, a new cleaning unit can be quickly disassembled and replaced for further cleaning, effectively improving the efficiency of cleaning large batches of plated parts.
