Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gear processing technology, specifically to a cleaning device for gear processing. Background Technology

[0002] During gear manufacturing, cutting processes such as milling, hobbing, and shaping generate a large amount of metal chips. If these chips remain on the gear surface, they will affect the gear's accuracy and subsequent assembly. Cleaning equipment uses high-pressure water jets, sprayed solvents, or ultrasonic vibrations to thoroughly remove the chips from the gear's tooth surfaces, tooth grooves, and shaft holes.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent CN219965790U discloses a cleaning device for gear processing, comprising an ultrasonic cleaner body, a control box, a first placement mesh frame, and a connecting assembly. The control box is installed at the right end of the ultrasonic cleaner body, and a control panel is provided at the front end of the ultrasonic cleaner body. The control box is electrically connected to the ultrasonic cleaner body and the control panel. The first placement mesh frame is located inside the ultrasonic cleaner body. The connecting assembly is installed on the ultrasonic cleaner body and is connected to the first placement mesh frame. The connecting assembly includes an electric cylinder, a rotating plate, two sets of L-shaped frames, two sets of U-shaped frames, and a second placement mesh frame. The tops of the two sets of U-shaped frames are respectively connected to the bottom end of the first placement mesh frame and the front and rear sides of the bottom end of the second placement mesh frame. A locking mechanism is provided on the rotating plate.

[0004] However, in the prior art, the gear cleaning equipment for gear processing usually places the gear directly in the placement frame and raises and lowers it, resulting in a persistent obstruction area between the gear and the placement frame, causing incomplete cleaning. In order to solve the problem of incomplete gear cleaning in the prior art, this application proposes to rotate the placement frame so that the internal gears follow the rotation, thereby revealing the gear area that is in the obstruction position. Therefore, a new solution is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] The above-mentioned background technology addresses the shortcomings and defects of existing technologies, such as incomplete gear cleaning.

[0006] The gear processing cleaning equipment disclosed in this utility model includes a cleaning tank, which contains multiple storage boxes. Each storage box has a waterproof box at both ends. Each storage box is rotatably connected to the corresponding waterproof box via a rotating shaft. A drive assembly is provided between the rotating shaft and the waterproof box. A lifting assembly is provided between each of the two waterproof boxes and the cleaning tank. An ultrasonic generator is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a drive shaft rotatably mounted on the waterproof box, a worm gear fixedly mounted on the drive shaft, and a worm wheel fixedly mounted on the shaft, with the worm gear meshing with the worm wheel for transmission.

[0008] Furthermore, each end of the worm gear is provided with a fixing block, which is fixedly installed on the waterproof box and is rotatably connected to the drive shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, the storage frame includes an outer shell, a base plate is provided at the lower end of the outer shell, an adjustment component is provided between the base plate and the outer shell, and a cover plate is rotatably installed at the upper end of the outer shell, the cover plate and the outer shell are connected by a snap fastener.

[0010] Furthermore, the adjustment assembly includes a screw, which is rotatably mounted on the lower end face of the base plate. The screw is threadedly connected to the housing. There are two screws, which are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the housing.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting assembly includes a connecting plate, one end of which is mounted on the waterproof box, and a telescopic cylinder is provided between the other end of the connecting plate and the cleaning tank. The connecting plate is configured as a "U" shape.

[0012] Furthermore, a water outlet pipe is provided on one side of the cleaning tank, a solenoid valve is provided on the water outlet pipe, and a sealing ring is provided between the rotating shaft and the waterproof box.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model is equipped with components such as a worm, a worm wheel, a drive shaft, and a rotating shaft. During operation, the drive shaft, worm wheel, and worm components work together to adjust the rotation of the drive shaft, which in turn drives the worm to rotate. Simultaneously, the worm drives the rotating shaft to rotate through the meshing worm wheel. The rotating shaft causes the storage frame to flip, causing the gears inside the storage frame to flip as well. This avoids obstruction of the gears and improves the cleaning effect on the gears.

[0015] 2. This utility model, by setting up components such as a base plate, screw, and cover plate, allows the screw component and the base plate component to cooperate during operation. Adjusting the rotation of the screw component pushes the base plate to slide inside the outer shell, thereby adjusting the distance between the cover plate and the base plate. This makes the device suitable for gears of different thicknesses and avoids the gears from stacking together during the flipping process, thus improving the applicability of the device.

[0022] The following illustrations will reveal several embodiments of the present invention. For clarity, many physical details will be described in the following description. However, it should be understood that these physical details should not be used to limit the present invention. That is, in some embodiments of the present invention, these physical details are not essential. Furthermore, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and components will be shown in a simple schematic manner in the illustrations.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 The present invention relates to a cleaning device for gear processing, comprising a cleaning tank 1, wherein multiple storage boxes 2 are arranged equidistantly within the cleaning tank 1, and waterproof boxes 3 are provided at both ends of each storage box 2. A limit plate 9 is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1, and the waterproof boxes 3 are slidably disposed with respect to the limit plate 9. Both ends of each storage box 2 are rotatably connected to the corresponding waterproof box 3 via a rotating shaft 4. A drive assembly is provided between the rotating shaft 4 and the waterproof box 3. Lifting assemblies are provided between each of the two waterproof boxes 3 and the cleaning tank 1. An ultrasonic generator is provided at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1.

[0024] like Figure 4As shown, the drive assembly includes a drive shaft 5, which is rotatably mounted on a waterproof box 3. A worm gear 6 is fixedly mounted on the drive shaft 5, and a worm wheel 7 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 4. The worm gear 6 and the worm wheel 7 mesh and transmit power. A servo motor is installed inside the waterproof box 3. The servo motor drives the drive shaft 5 to rotate, thereby realizing the automatic reversal of the storage box 2. By controlling the rotation direction of the servo motor, the flipping direction of the storage box 2 is adjusted. When the servo motor stops working, the worm wheel 7 and the worm gear 6 achieve self-locking.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, both ends of the worm gear 6 are provided with fixing blocks 8, which are fixedly installed on the waterproof box 3. The fixing blocks 8 are rotatably connected to the drive shaft 5. The fixing blocks 8 increase the contact area between the drive shaft 5 and the waterproof box 3 and support the drive shaft 5, thereby improving the stability of the drive shaft 5 during operation.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, the storage box 2 includes an outer shell 201, a base plate 202 is provided at the lower end of the outer shell 201, an adjustment component is provided between the base plate 202 and the outer shell 201, and a cover plate 204 is rotatably installed at the upper end of the outer shell 201. The cover plate 204 is connected to the outer shell 201 by a buckle 205.

[0027] In this embodiment, the adjustment component includes a screw 203, which is rotatably mounted on the lower end face of the base plate 202. The screw 203 is threadedly connected to the outer shell 201. There are two screws 203, which are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the outer shell 201. By driving the screws 203 to rotate, the screws 203 push the base plate 202 to slide inside the outer shell 201, thereby adjusting the distance between the base plate 202 and the cover plate 204.

[0028] Looking back Figure 1 As shown, the lifting assembly includes a connecting plate 10. One end of the connecting plate 10 is mounted on the waterproof box 3, and a telescopic cylinder 11 is provided between the other end of the connecting plate 10 and the cleaning tank 1. The connecting plate 10 is set in a "U" shape. By controlling the telescopic cylinder 11 to work, the telescopic cylinder 11 drives the connecting plate 10 to move, and the connecting plate 10 drives the waterproof box 3 to move accordingly, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the workers.

[0029] A water outlet pipe 12 is provided on one side of the cleaning tank 1. A solenoid valve is provided on the water outlet pipe 12. The solenoid valve controls the opening and closing of the water outlet pipe 12, thereby controlling whether the liquid in the cleaning tank 1 flows out. A sealing ring is provided between the rotating shaft 4 and the waterproof box 3 to increase the sealing effect of the waterproof box 3.

[0030] The implementation principle is as follows: First, the thickness of the following gear drives the screw 203 to rotate. The screw 203 pushes the base plate 202 to slide inside the outer shell 201, thereby adjusting the distance between the base plate 202 and the cover plate 204 to prevent the internal gears from stacking during the subsequent flipping process. Then, the cover plate 204 is opened, the gear to be cleaned is placed in, and the cover plate 204 is closed and fixed by the buckle 205. Then, the telescopic cylinder 11 is controlled to retract. The telescopic cylinder 11 drives the waterproof box 3 to descend through the connecting plate 10. The waterproof box 3 drives the storage frame 2 to descend through the rotating shaft 4, and the storage frame 2 is completely immersed in the liquid in the cleaning tank 1. At the same time, the ultrasonic generator is turned on to clean the gears. After cleaning for a preset time, the servo motor drives the drive shaft 5 to rotate. The drive shaft 5 drives the worm gear 6 to rotate. The worm gear 6 drives the meshing worm wheel 7 to rotate. The worm wheel 7 drives the rotating shaft 4 and the storage frame 2 to rotate. After the storage frame 2 is flipped, the servo motor stops working. After cleaning is completed, the reverse drive device moves the storage frame 2 to the initial position.

[0031] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
