Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning devices for mold processing, specifically a cleaning device for mold processing. Background Technology
[0002] Molds primarily refer to various molds and tools used in industrial production for methods such as injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, die casting, forging, smelting, and stamping to obtain desired products. In short, a mold is a tool used to shape objects. This tool is composed of various parts, and different molds are composed of different parts. It mainly achieves the shaping of objects by changing the physical state of the material being molded. During prolonged use or storage, mold surfaces are prone to accumulating dirt, requiring cleaning to obtain a cleaner mold, facilitating subsequent processing and production, and improving product quality. Existing mold cleaning methods generally involve manual cleaning, which increases labor costs, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and has low cleaning efficiency and long cleaning cycles. Another method involves placing molds in a cleaning tank, often with multiple molds placed together. This method causes collisions between molds, which can damage them, especially precision molds. Furthermore, cleaning requires waiting for one batch of molds to be cleaned before starting another, resulting in inconsistent cleaning that is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Some cleaning devices require flipping the mold to clean different surfaces, which necessitates removing the mold from its mounting device, making the operation cumbersome and impacting cleaning efficiency.
[0003] A search revealed existing technology (application number: CN202111247639.6), which describes "a cleaning device for mold processing." This utility model includes: a main water tank, through which a rigid water pipe is connected, and through which a main board water pump is connected. The main board water pump is connected to a main board nozzle via the main board. A first side plate water pump is installed on a first side plate, and a first side plate nozzle is connected to the first side plate through a water channel. A second side plate water pump is installed on a second side plate, and a second side plate nozzle is connected to the second side plate through a water channel. A bottom nozzle cleans the bottom surface of the mold, and a main board nozzle cleans the top surface of the mold. The first side plate nozzle and the second side plate... Alternating nozzles can clean the remaining surfaces of the mold; however, existing technologies still have the following shortcomings: while the design considers multi-angle cleaning and through-connection of the structure, in practice, there are still problems such as insufficient efficiency and automation, low cleaning level, and inability to collect waste liquid in a timely manner. Therefore, a cleaning device for mold processing is still provided. This device allows the mold to rotate to a certain extent during the cleaning process, achieving a more thorough cleaning effect. It integrates cleaning and drying functions, making the whole process more automated. In particular, a waste liquid recycling design is included, ensuring proper waste liquid treatment.

A waste liquid outlet 19 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning device housing 1, and a waste liquid tank housing 4 is provided below the waste liquid outlet 19 for collecting waste liquid.
[0029] In this embodiment, the cleaning device housing, the cleaning mechanism structure assembly, and the mold fixing structure assembly constitute the mold processing cleaning device involved in this application, which realizes uniform and thorough cleaning, improves the cleaning quality of the mold, and ensures the cleanliness of the mold.
[0030] In this embodiment, the stud and fixing plate connected by threads can fix and release the mold, which simplifies the operation process and improves work efficiency.
[0031] In this embodiment, the waste liquid outlet and waste liquid tank shell are designed to effectively collect and treat the waste liquid generated during the cleaning process, thereby reducing environmental pollution.
[0032] It should be noted that the waste liquid tank shell can be made of stainless steel.

[0033] Specifically, the inner walls on both sides of the housing 1 of the cleaning device are provided with stroke grooves 16, and the transmission column on the gear 31 passes through the stroke grooves 16 and slides within the stroke grooves 16.
[0034] In this embodiment, the transmission column on the gear 31 passes through the stroke groove 16 and slides within the stroke groove 16. This design allows the mold fixing structure group 3 to move smoothly, ensuring that all parts of the mold can be thoroughly cleaned during the cleaning process, thus improving the comprehensiveness of the cleaning.
[0035] Specifically, the mold loading end 11 is used for mold loading, the mold fixing structure group 3 is set above the mold loading end 11, the mold is placed inside the fixing clamp 33, the stud 32 is threadedly connected to the fixing clamp 33, and the fixing plate 34 fixes the mold by turning the stud 32.
[0036] The device features a dedicated mold loading end 11 for placing molds into the cleaning unit. This design makes the mold loading process more convenient and precise. The mold fixing structure assembly 3 is located above the mold loading end 11, ensuring the mold remains stable during cleaning. The fixing clamp 33 houses the mold, and its threaded connection to the fixing clamp 33 via studs 32 allows adjustment of the fixing plate 34 to accommodate molds of different sizes, ensuring the mold does not move or rotate during cleaning and improving cleaning accuracy.
[0037] Specifically, there are two sets of gears 31. The gears 31 are rotatably mounted at both ends of the lower part of the sliding bracket 22 via a rotating column. The gears 31 are meshed with the rack 35 and are used to drive the gears 31 to rotate the fixed clamp 33.
[0038] It should be noted that the gear 31 allows power to be transmitted through the rack 35, enabling precise control of the fixed clamp 33. The design of the two sets of gears 31 provides better stability and force distribution, ensuring the stability of the mold during the cleaning process. The meshing connection of the gears and racks allows the fixed clamp 33 to rotate in multiple directions to adapt to different cleaning angles and requirements.
[0039] Specifically, the support guide rail 23 is provided with two sets. When the sliding support 22 is driven, it ensures the running guidance of the mold fixing structure group 3.
[0040] As a preferred implementation, the combined use of the support guide rail 23 and the sliding support 22 improves the efficiency of mold loading and unloading, reduces the need for manual operation, and the precise guidance and stable movement reduce the possibility of accidents during the cleaning process of the mold, thus enhancing the safety of operation.
[0041] Specifically, waste liquid tank guide rails 18 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the cleaning device housing 1. There are two sets of waste liquid tank guide rails 18, and the waste liquid tank housing 4 is slidably disposed inside the waste liquid tank guide rails 18.

The sliding setting of the waste liquid tank housing 4 allows it to be easily removed from the waste liquid tank guide rail 18, facilitating the cleaning of waste liquid and the maintenance of the waste liquid tank housing.
[0043] Specifically, the cleaning nozzle 12 is located near the mold loading end 11 and multiple sets of cleaning nozzles 12 are provided; the drying gas nozzle 15 is located near the mold unloading end 17 and multiple sets of drying gas nozzles 15 are provided.
[0044] In this embodiment, the design of multiple sets of cleaning nozzles 12 and drying gas nozzles 15 ensures comprehensive cleaning and drying of the mold, improves the uniformity and efficiency of cleaning and drying, and the design of multiple sets of nozzles can shorten the cleaning and drying time of a single mold and improve the efficiency of the entire cleaning process.
[0045] In use, the mold to be cleaned is loaded at the mold loading end 11 and placed in the fixing clamp 33. Then, the stud 32 is rotated to move the fixing plate 34 toward the mold until it is fixed. After the mold is fixed, the motor 21 is started. The sliding bracket 22 begins to move forward under the restriction of the bracket guide rail 23 and the stroke groove 16. At this time, the shaft where the gear 31 is located rotates in the sliding bracket 22.

When the mold reaches the cleaning area, the water valve interface 13 is opened, and the cleaning liquid is sprayed out from the cleaning nozzle 12 and both sides of the box to clean the mold. When the mold reaches the drying area, the drying air valve interface 14 is opened, and the gas is sprayed out from the drying air nozzle 15 and both sides of the box to dry the mold. The cleaned mold is unloaded at the mold unloading end 17, and the cleaning waste liquid is discharged from the waste liquid outlet 19 into the waste liquid tank shell 4 for easy disposal.
[0046] This utility model discloses a cleaning device for mold processing. Through thorough and gentle cleaning, the cleaning device can reduce mold wear and extend its service life. Automated cleaning can reduce the use of water and cleaning fluid, saving resources. Through an effective waste liquid collection and treatment system, the environmental impact during the cleaning process can be reduced. The cleaning device can be quickly adjusted to adapt to molds of different sizes and types, improving the flexibility of the production line.
[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
