Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical parts cleaning technology, and in particular relates to a mechanical parts cleaning device for vertical machining centers. Background Technology
[0002] A vertical machining center is a highly automated, multi-functional CNC machine tool capable of performing various machining operations such as milling, boring, drilling, and tapping, facilitating the rapid production of various mechanical parts. After the parts are produced using a vertical machining center, the surface of the parts may have some iron filings or impurities, so a cleaning device is needed to clean the mechanical parts.
[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN221086585U discloses a mechanical parts cleaning device. When it is necessary to clean the surface of mechanical parts, an appropriate amount of water can be put into a water tank, and then the parts can be placed on the concave groove opened at the top of the limiting plate. Then, an electric push rod is used to push the limiting plate into the water tank. Then, the ultrasonic generator is started. Under the drive of the ultrasonic generator, the ultrasonic transducer will ultrasonically shake the water in the tank at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye. Since the parts are also in the water tank at this time, the surface of the parts can be cleaned under the operation of the ultrasonic transducer, thus achieving the beneficial effect of conveniently cleaning the surface of the parts.
[0004] However, while the aforementioned devices can clean mechanical parts using ultrasonic cleaning, they lack a secondary cleaning function. When the parts are lifted from the water tank, impurities and dirt floating in the tank easily re-adhere to the surface of the parts, resulting in insufficient cleaning. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve existing mechanical parts cleaning devices and provide a vertical machining center mechanical parts cleaning device with a secondary cleaning function for more thorough cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0032] In this embodiment, the T-junction 71, water supply pipe 72, and air supply pipe 73 are used to facilitate the delivery of cleaning water or hot air to the cleaning assembly 8.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0039] In use, the machined parts processed by the vertical machining center are first placed on the mesh tray 6, and the electric telescopic rod 5 is activated to control the mesh tray 6 to move down into the cleaning tank 2, so that the machined parts are completely immersed in the clean water in the cleaning tank 2. Then, the existing ultrasonic generator 4 and ultrasonic transducer 3 are used to perform ultrasonic cleaning on the machined parts. After ultrasonic cleaning, the mesh tray 6 is raised by the electric telescopic rod 5 to lift the machined parts out of the water. At the same time, one end of the water supply pipe 72 is connected to an external water pump to deliver clean water, and the first solenoid valve 75 is opened to deliver external water to multiple nozzles 83 through the water supply pipe 72, tee 71, hose 89, diverter pipe 81 and rotary joint 84. Simultaneously, the servo motor 9 is activated to rotate the lead screw 10, and the cleaning component 8 is controlled to move back and forth stably along the slide bar 11, so as to realize the secondary rinsing of the machined parts, which facilitates the removal of impurities and dirt adhering to the surface of the machined parts when they are lifted from the cleaning tank 2.
[0040] After the secondary rinsing of the mechanical parts is completed, the first solenoid valve 75 can be closed and the second solenoid valve 76 and hot air pump 74 can be opened to stop the water supply and deliver hot air to the nozzle 83 for spraying. With the back-and-forth movement, the cleaned mechanical parts can be dried, and... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the cleaning component 8 moves back and forth, the rack 12 can rotate the gear 85 and the first protrusion 86, and the first protrusion 86 can pull the T-shaped rod 87 to move back and forth slightly. The multiple second protrusions 88 on the outer wall of the rear of the T-shaped rod 87 can squeeze and push the multiple nozzles 83 to swing back and forth slightly under the action of the rotary joint 84. This allows for multi-angle rinsing and drying of the mechanical parts during secondary cleaning and drying, which can eliminate rinsing dead corners and make the drying speed faster and more efficient. Finally, the hot air pump 74 is turned off, the cabinet door of the machine body 1 is opened, and the mechanical parts can be taken out and packaged.
