Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing steel ball processing technology, and in particular to a steel ball cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] After precision machining, bearing steel balls will have residual metal shavings, grinding fluid and other contaminants on their surface. Therefore, the steel balls need to be cleaned after precision machining to remove the contaminants on the surface of the steel balls in order to facilitate subsequent processing steps.

[0003] Currently, the common method for cleaning steel balls is to pour them into a cleaning bucket or tank and then use water to rinse them. However, because the steel balls accumulate in the container, the balls at the bottom have less contact with the flowing water, and metal debris and other contaminants washed down from the top of the steel balls tend to accumulate at the bottom of the container and come into contact with the bottom balls, resulting in some steel balls not being thoroughly cleaned. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a steel ball cleaning device that solves the problem of incomplete cleaning of some steel balls when rinsing them in a container.

[0005] According to an embodiment of this utility model, a steel ball cleaning device includes a cleaning tank, a rotatable rotating disk inside the cleaning tank, and a first driving component connected to the rotating disk on the cleaning tank. The rotating disk is in contact with the inner wall of the cleaning tank, and a collection cavity is formed between the rotating disk and the bottom surface of the cleaning tank. A plurality of grooves are spaced apart along the circumference of the rotating disk on the top surface of the rotating disk, and a convex ridge is formed between any two adjacent grooves. The height of the end of the groove near the inner wall of the cleaning tank is lower than the height of the end of the groove away from the inner wall of the cleaning tank. A water leakage hole is provided in each groove, and the water leakage hole is located near the inner wall of the cleaning tank and communicates with the collection cavity. A water tank, a water pump, and a spray pipe are also provided in sequence on the cleaning tank. The spray pipe extends above the rotating disk and is provided with a nozzle facing the rotating disk.

[0006] Furthermore, the first drive assembly includes a first motor and a connecting shaft disposed at the output end of the first motor, the connecting shaft extending into the collection cavity and cooperating with the rotating disk.

[0007] Furthermore, the cleaning tank is also provided with a drain pipe that communicates with the collection chamber, and a solenoid valve is provided at the end of the drain pipe away from the cleaning tank.

[0008] Furthermore, a scraper is sleeved on the connecting shaft, the scraper is located inside the collection chamber, and when the first motor drives the connecting shaft to rotate, the scraper passes directly above the sewage pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the cleaning tank is also provided with a discharge port and a liftable sliding door panel is provided inside the discharge port. The discharge port is connected to at least one of the grooves and the sliding door panel covers the opening of the groove near the discharge port when it extends into the discharge port.

[0010] Furthermore, the cleaning tank is provided with a door frame and the door frame is provided with a guide protrusion, and the sliding door panel is provided with a guide groove that cooperates with the guide protrusion.

[0011] Furthermore, the sliding door panel is provided with a vertical pull rod, and the door frame is provided with a through hole that cooperates with the pull rod.

[0012] Furthermore, a guide plate is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning tank, and the guide plate is connected to the discharge port.

[0013] Furthermore, the cleaning tank is also provided with a mounting bracket that extends above the rotating disk. The mounting bracket is provided with a movable seat and a second drive assembly that is pulverizedly connected to the movable seat. The movable seat is provided with a cleaning brush on the side near the rotating disk. The second drive assembly drives the movable seat to reciprocate radially along the rotating disk on the mounting bracket.

[0014] Furthermore, the second drive assembly includes a second motor and a first connecting rod disposed at the output end of the second motor, wherein a second connecting rod is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod and the end of the second connecting rod away from the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the movable seat.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following beneficial effects: By using a rotating disk rotatably set in the cleaning tank to support the steel balls to be cleaned, the steel balls fall onto the rotating disk after being poured into the cleaning tank. When the rotating disk rotates under the drive of the first drive component, it drives the steel balls to move in the cleaning tank and stirs the steel balls through the convex ridges. When the steel balls pass under the spray pipe, the nozzle sprays cleaning liquid onto the steel balls to rinse them. The rotating disk is continuously rotated by the first drive component to continuously rinse the steel balls in the cleaning tank to ensure that the surface of the steel balls is clean. Moreover, due to the inclined setting of the groove, the dirt washed down from the steel balls moves along the groove towards the edge of the rotating disk under the drive of the cleaning liquid and falls into the collection chamber below through the drain hole, thereby avoiding the accumulation of dirt on the rotating disk and contact with the cleaned steel balls. This solves the technical problem of incomplete cleaning of some steel balls when rinsing steel balls in a container, and produces the technical effect of ensuring that the surface of the steel balls is clean and avoiding the adhesion of dirt to the surface of some steel balls after cleaning.

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a steel ball cleaning device for cleaning precision-machined steel balls to remove metal shavings, grinding fluid and other contaminants from the surface of the steel balls, so as to facilitate further processing of the steel balls.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The steel ball cleaning device includes a cleaning tank 1, a rotatable rotating disk 2 inside the cleaning tank 1, and a first driving assembly 3 connected to the rotating disk 2 on the cleaning tank 1. The first driving assembly 3 drives the rotating disk 2 to rotate continuously within the cleaning tank 1. The rotating disk 2 is in contact with the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1, and a collection cavity 11 is formed between the rotating disk 2 and the bottom surface of the cleaning tank 1, so that the steel balls to be cleaned are held on the rotating disk 2 after being poured into the cleaning tank 1, and the rotating disk 2 separates the steel balls from the collection cavity 11. The top surface of the rotating disk 2 is provided with a plurality of grooves 21 spaced apart along the circumference of the rotating disk 2, and a protruding ridge 22 is formed between any two adjacent grooves 21. The height of the end of the groove 21 near the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 is lower than the height of the groove 21 away from the cleaning tank 1. The inner wall of the tank 1 is at one end of the height of the groove 21. The groove 21 is provided with drainage holes 23. The drainage holes 23 are located close to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 and are connected to the collection chamber 11. The cleaning tank 1 is also provided with a water tank 4, a water pump and a spray pipe 5 connected in sequence. The spray pipe 5 extends to the top of the rotating disk 2. The spray pipe 5 is provided with a nozzle 51 and the nozzle 51 faces the rotating disk 2. When the steel ball in the cleaning tank 1 passes under the nozzle 51 under the drive of the rotating disk 2, the nozzle 51 sprays cleaning liquid onto the steel ball to rinse the steel ball and remove the dirt on the surface of the steel ball. The dirt washed off the steel ball flows along the groove 21 with the cleaning liquid and enters the collection chamber 11 through the drainage holes 23, thereby separating the dirt washed off the steel ball during the cleaning process from the steel ball.

[0024] Specifically, the operation steps for cleaning steel balls using the steel ball cleaning device provided in this embodiment are as follows: Pour the steel balls to be cleaned into the cleaning tank 1 so that they fall onto the rotating disk 2. Then, turn on the first drive assembly 3 and the water pump. When the rotating disk 2 rotates under the drive of the first drive assembly 3, the rotating disk 2 moves the steel balls within the cleaning tank 1 and agitates them through the protruding ridges 22. When the steel balls pass under the spray pipe 5, the water pump pumps the cleaning liquid from the water tank 4 into the spray nozzle 51, and the spray nozzle 51 sprays the cleaning liquid onto the steel balls, thus rinsing them. The rotating disk 2 continues to rotate under the drive of the first drive assembly 3. The device continuously rinses the steel balls in the cleaning tank 1 to ensure their surface is clean. Due to the inclined design of the groove 21, dirt flushed from the steel balls moves along the groove 21 towards the edge of the rotating disk 2 under the influence of the cleaning fluid, and falls into the collection chamber 11 below through the drain hole 23. This separates the dirt from the steel balls, preventing dirt from accumulating on the rotating disk 2 and contacting the cleaned steel balls. After cleaning, the water pump is turned off, allowing the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank 1 to drain into the collection chamber 11 through the drain hole 23, thus drying the steel balls. The steel balls can then be removed from the cleaning tank 1, completing the cleaning process. The steel ball cleaning device provided in this embodiment ensures the surface of the steel balls is thoroughly cleaned and prevents dirt from adhering to the surface of some steel balls after cleaning. It is reliable and easy to use.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the first drive assembly 3 includes a first motor 31 and a connecting shaft 32 disposed at the output end of the first motor 31. The connecting shaft 32 extends into the collection chamber 11 and cooperates with the rotating disk 2. By cooperating with the rotating disk 2, when the connecting shaft 32 rotates under the drive of the rotating disk 2, it drives the rotating disk 2 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating disk 2 to rotate continuously in the cleaning tank 1 and moving the steel balls placed on the rotating disk 2.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning tank 1 is also equipped with a drain pipe 12 communicating with the collection chamber 11. A solenoid valve 13 is located at the end of the drain pipe 12 furthest from the cleaning tank 1. The drain pipe 12 is used to discharge the cleaning fluid in the collection chamber 11, along with the dirt flushed down from the steel ball, out of the collection chamber 11. The solenoid valve 13 is used to control the opening or closing of the drain pipe 12, thereby controlling the discharge of the cleaning fluid from the drain pipe 12. Furthermore, the cleaning fluid discharged from the drain pipe 12 can be collected, purified, and reused, thereby reducing pollution caused by wastewater discharge and conserving water resources.

[0027] In detail, a scraper 33 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 32. The scraper 33 is located inside the collection chamber 11, and when the first motor 31 drives the connecting shaft 32 to rotate, the scraper 33 passes directly above the drain pipe 12. When the connecting shaft 32 rotates under the drive of the first motor 31, it drives the scraper 33 to move within the collection chamber 11, so as to scrape off the dirt adhering to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 and push the dirt into the drain pipe 12, thus preventing dirt from accumulating in the collection chamber 11.

[0028] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 4 The cleaning tank 1 is also provided with a discharge port 14, and a liftable sliding door plate 6 is provided inside the discharge port 14. The discharge port 14 is connected to at least one of the grooves 21, and when the sliding door plate 6 extends into the discharge port 14, it covers the opening of one end of the groove 21 near the discharge port 14. The discharge port 14 is located on the side of the rotating disk 2, and the sliding door plate 6 is provided inside the discharge port 14. The discharge port 14 can be opened or closed by moving the sliding door plate 6 in the vertical direction. When the sliding door plate 6 is opened, the steel balls in the grooves 21 move along the grooves 21 and are discharged from the discharge port 14. As the rotating disk 2 rotates, each groove 21 moves sequentially to the position connected to the discharge port 14, so as to discharge the steel balls in the cleaning tank 1 sequentially, so as to facilitate the removal of the cleaned steel balls from the cleaning tank 1.

[0029] In this embodiment, the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a gantry 15 and a guide protrusion 16 on the gantry 15, and the sliding door panel 6 is provided with a guide groove that cooperates with the guide protrusion 16. The gantry 15 provided on the cleaning tank 1 is used for the installation of the sliding door panel 6. The cooperation between the guide protrusion 16 and the guide groove keeps the position of the sliding door panel 6 on the cleaning tank 1 stable, preventing the sliding door panel 6 from loosening and causing the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 1 to leak or the steel ball to fall out of the cleaning tank 1 during the cleaning process. When the sliding door panel 6 moves, the guide protrusion 16 restricts the movement direction of the sliding door panel 6, so that the sliding door panel 6 can be opened or closed smoothly.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4The sliding door panel 6 is provided with a vertical pull rod 61, and the door frame 15 is provided with a through hole that cooperates with the pull rod 61. The pull rod 61, which is vertically provided on the sliding door panel 6, is used to operate the sliding door panel 6 to move on the door frame 15. By pulling the pull rod 61, the sliding door panel 6 can be raised in the vertical direction and the discharge port 14 can be opened. After the steel balls in the cleaning tank 1 are discharged, pressing the pull rod 61 can reset the sliding door panel 6, which facilitates the use of the steel ball cleaning device.

[0031] Specifically, a guide plate 17 is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1, and the guide plate 17 is connected to the discharge port 14. After the steel balls in the cleaning tank 1 are discharged from the discharge port 14, they fall onto the guide plate 17 and fall down along the guide plate 17 to guide the cleaned steel balls into a container placed in advance on one side of the cleaning tank 1, so as to facilitate the collection of the cleaned steel balls.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning tank 1 is also equipped with a mounting frame 7, which extends above the rotating disk 2. The mounting frame 7 is equipped with a movable seat 71 and a second drive assembly 8 pulverizedly connected to the movable seat 71. A cleaning brush 72 is provided on the side of the movable seat 71 near the rotating disk 2. The second drive assembly 8 drives the movable seat 71 to reciprocate radially along the rotating disk 2 on the mounting frame 7. By driving the movable seat 71 to reciprocate on the mounting frame 7 and driving the cleaning brush 72 to reciprocate, the cleaning brush 72 can brush the surface of the steel balls on the rotating disk 2 to remove dirt adhering to the surface of the steel balls, thereby further improving the cleaning effect of the steel ball cleaning device.

[0033] In detail, the mounting bracket 7 is provided with a guide rod 73, the axial direction of which is consistent with the moving direction of the movable seat 71, and the movable seat 71 is provided with a guide hole that mates with the guide rod 73. The guide rod 73 is used to guide the movable seat 71 to move on the mounting bracket 7, so that the mounting bracket 7 moves along a preset direction while improving the stability of the fit between the movable seat 71 and the mounting bracket 7.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 4In this embodiment, the second drive assembly 8 includes a second motor 81 and a first connecting rod 82 disposed at the output end of the second motor 81. A second connecting rod 83 is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 82, and the end of the second connecting rod 83 away from the first connecting rod 82 is rotatably connected to the movable seat 71. By using the second motor 81 to drive the first connecting rod 82 to rotate and drive the second connecting rod 83 to move, the second connecting rod 83 pushes or pulls the movable seat 71 to move on the mounting frame 7. This allows the movable seat 71 to reciprocate radially along the rotating disk 2 on the mounting frame 7, thereby driving the cleaning brush 72 to move and ensuring that the surface of the steel balls on the rotating disk 2 is cleaned, reducing dirt residue.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
