Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of chip blowing devices, specifically relating to an automatic aluminum chip cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum products often have a lot of aluminum shavings on their surface after processing, which requires a dust blowing tool to remove them. Existing patent document CN116511978A discloses a pipe dust blowing device. This device uses a drive mechanism to rotate a tilting frame, thereby removing shavings from the product surface on an inclined carriage. However, because the rotating frame blows air out through a connecting hole, and the connecting hole can only rotate relative to the inclined carriage while the carriage remains fixed, the blowing range is limited. Furthermore, for larger products that cannot be placed in the inclined carriage, the existing device cannot effectively remove surface shavings, resulting in poor versatility. Therefore, an automatic aluminum shavings cleaning device is needed to overcome these difficulties. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention addresses the problems existing in the prior art by designing an automatic aluminum chip cleaning device. This invention controls the air output of air knife components at different heights through a solenoid valve on the main frame, and drives the air knife components to move horizontally through a linear module, thereby quickly blowing away chips from products of various sizes. It has good versatility and high chip removal efficiency.

[0004] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: an automatic aluminum shavings cleaning device, comprising a main frame, an air tank and an electrical control box on the main frame, a control module and several solenoid valves inside the electrical control box, the solenoid valves and the control module being electrically connected; the air tank and the solenoid valves being interconnected, several hose reels being provided on the side of the air tank, the pipes inside the hose reels being connected to the solenoid valves; the main frame is also provided with a linear module for horizontal movement, the linear module including a horizontally movable slider, a mounting plate fixedly connected to the slider, and several air knife assemblies arranged side by side on the mounting plate, the air knife assemblies being connected to the pipes inside the hose reels.

[0005] Preferably, the gas storage tank is equipped with a protective shell, and a pusher fixedly connected to it is provided on the main frame, extending out from inside the protective shell. A control switch is provided on the protective shell, and the control switch is electrically connected to a control module. The control switch sends an electrical signal to the control module, allowing the control module to control the on / off state of each solenoid valve. The solenoid valves are connected to the piping inside the hose reel; the piping inside the hose reel is connected to the air knife assembly. When any air knife assembly needs airflow, it can be precisely controlled via a solenoid valve, providing good versatility.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom of the main frame is equipped with caster wheels, which are symmetrically located at the corners of the main frame. The caster wheels facilitate the overall movement of the main frame, allowing operators to perform chip removal operations in different areas.

[0007] Preferably, the solenoid valve connects to both the hose reel and the air tank, with each solenoid valve corresponding to a specific hose reel. The solenoid valve controls the opening and closing of the hose reel. Each solenoid valve can control the opening and closing of the corresponding hose reel's internal piping, allowing for convenient control of air output from any air knife assembly. Air can be precisely supplied according to the area requiring chip removal, resulting in good chip removal efficiency and versatility. Furthermore, during chip removal, it is not necessary to activate all air knife assemblies, significantly reducing energy consumption.

[0008] Preferably, the linear module further includes a track housing, a drive motor, and a lead screw; the track housing is fixedly mounted on the main frame, and the lead screw is rotatably connected to the track housing; the drive motor is fixedly mounted at the end of the track housing, and the drive motor drives the lead screw to rotate; the slider is slidably connected to the track housing, and the slider is sleeved on the outside of the lead screw; the lead screw and the slider mesh with each other, and the slider moves along the track housing when the drive motor drives the lead screw to rotate. The drive motor drives the lead screw to rotate, and when the lead screw rotates, the slider moves axially relative to the track housing, which facilitates the air knife assembly to approach or move away from the product requiring chip removal, providing good maneuverability.

[0009] Preferably, the linear module is installed facing away from the gas tank, and the end of the main frame facing the linear module is provided with a front protective plate. By providing the front protective plate, the gas tank is better protected.

[0010] Preferably, the slider is provided with a mounting plate fixedly connected to it, and the mounting plate is vertically arranged; the mounting plate is provided with a plurality of air knife assemblies arranged side by side, the air knife assembly includes an air knife body, the air knife body is provided with symmetrically arranged air nozzles, the mounting plate is provided with a slot for placing the air nozzles, and the air nozzles are disposed in the slots; the outer contour of the air nozzles is adapted to the outer contour of the slots.

[0011] Preferably, the air outlet is oriented horizontally, and each air knife assembly is connected to the tubing inside the tube reel.

[0012] The air tank is connected to the hose reel via a solenoid valve, so that when the hose reel is activated, the air knife body can emit air from the air outlet. The air outlet is set in a slot, which limits the air outlet and prevents it from shifting, making the air output more accurate and reliable.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages: 1. The main frame can be easily moved, facilitating chip removal operations in different areas; 2. Each air knife assembly is connected to each solenoid valve, so that the solenoid valve can accurately control the air output of the air knife assembly; the air knife assemblies are arranged side by side, and the linear module can drive the air knife assembly to move horizontally, so that it can remove chips from products of different sizes, and has better versatility; 3. During the chip removal process, for the product that needs chip removal, the corresponding air knife assembly is opened by the solenoid valve, and the remaining air knife assemblies are in the closed state, which greatly reduces energy consumption.
