[0032] The utility model provides a target material cleaning device, target material cleaning device includes cleaning room, cleaning fixed establishment 1 and conveying mechanism 2, be provided with cleaning mechanism in the cleaning room, and cleaning mechanism is used for carrying out cleaning to target material 10, and cleaning fixed establishment 1 can fix target material 10 so that target material 10 can be washed evenly, and conveying mechanism 2 can drive cleaning fixed establishment 1 to enter and exit the cleaning room. Before carrying out cleaning to target material 10, fix target material 10 on cleaning fixed establishment 1, and conveying mechanism 2 drives cleaning fixed establishment 1 to enter the cleaning room, and cleaning mechanism carries out surface cleaning to target material 10, and after target material 10 is cleaned, conveying mechanism 2 drives cleaning fixed establishment 1 to exit the cleaning room again. The transportation of target material 10 is realized by setting up conveying mechanism 2 to drive cleaning fixed establishment 1, replaces manual transportation, saves cost and labor, and improves conveying and cleaning efficiency simultaneously.

[0033] Reference Figure 1The cleaning and fixing mechanism 1 includes a fixing frame 11 and a fixing seat 12. The fixing frame 11 is used to fix the target material 10 and is set on the fixing seat 12. The conveying mechanism 2 includes a guide vehicle 21, which can be connected to the fixing seat 12 and then drive the entire cleaning and fixing mechanism 1 in and out of the cleaning chamber. Specifically, the guide vehicle 21 can be an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle), which is a transport vehicle with magnetic navigation or laser navigation and other guiding devices. The guide vehicle 21 adopts an automated guide vehicle and can automatically deliver the cleaning and fixing mechanism 1 to the corresponding location through control commands. It has a very high level of automation and does not require manual intervention, thereby shortening the manual turnaround time. Moreover, the driving path and speed of the automated guide vehicle are controllable and the positioning and parking are accurate, which greatly improves the accuracy of transporting the target material 10.

[0034] Furthermore, the fixed base 12 includes a support plate 121 and multiple support legs 122. The fixed frame 11 is positioned above the support plate 121, and the multiple support legs 122 are positioned below the support plate 121. The guide cart 21 can be placed between the multiple support legs 122 and lift the support plate 121. When the cleaning and fixing mechanism 1 is located in the cleaning chamber and the cleaning mechanism is cleaning the target material 10, the fixed base 12 is placed in the cleaning chamber and near the cleaning mechanism. That is, at this time, the multiple support legs 122 support the entire cleaning and fixing mechanism 1. After the target material 10 is cleaned, before the conveying mechanism 2 drives the cleaning and fixing mechanism 1 out of the cleaning chamber, the guide cart 21 is placed between the multiple support legs 122 and lifts the support plate 121, suspending the multiple support legs 122 and then driving the fixed base 12 out of the cleaning chamber. That is, at this time, the guide cart 21 supports and transports the entire cleaning and fixing mechanism 1. By setting the guide cart 21 to realize the transportation of the cleaning and fixing mechanism 1, labor is reduced and work efficiency is improved.

[0035] The outriggers 122 are distributed below the support plate 121, which can effectively distribute the weight of the cleaning fixing mechanism 1 pressing on the support plate 121, making the cleaning fixing mechanism 1 more stable during operation and less prone to tilting or tipping over, thus avoiding affecting the cleaning of the target material 10. On the other hand, when the conveying mechanism 2 drives the cleaning fixing mechanism 1 to transport, the outriggers 122 are distributed below the support plate 121, which can leave gaps and provide placement space for the guide vehicle 21.

[0036] Further, the support plate 121 is further provided with a protection plate 123 below, the protection plate 123 is arranged between two adjacent supporting legs 122, during the transportation of the cleaning fixed mechanism 1 by the conveying mechanism 2, the protection plate 123 can protect the conveying mechanism 2, reduce the force brought by air flow during the running of the conveying mechanism 2, and prevent dust and soil from splashing. It should be noted that at least one gap between the two adjacent supporting legs 122 is not provided with the protection plate 123, and the conveying mechanism 2 can run from the gap to the lower side of the support plate 121 and lift the support plate 121.

[0037] In addition, the cleaning mechanism can adopt a dry ice cleaning machine. The dry ice cleaning machine can receive compressed air and spray dry ice particles in the form of sand blasting on the surface of the target material 10 for cleaning. The impurities are separated from the target material 10 by using the physical reaction of temperature difference. The process is simple and easy to operate, which can improve the cleanliness of the surface of the target material 10, effectively improve the product quality of the target material 10, and will not cause great influence on the surface roughness of the target material 10, avoiding affecting the film coating quality and efficiency of the subsequent target material 10.

[0038] Referring to Figures 1 to 6 In the cleaning fixed structure, the two sides of the fixed frame 11 are respectively provided with a first adjusting assembly 3, and the two first adjusting assemblies 3 can move on the fixed frame 11 to realize mutual approach or away from each other to adapt to target materials 10 with different outer diameters. Specifically, the two first adjusting assemblies 3 are used to fix the target material 10 in the radial direction, and the distance between the two first adjusting assemblies 3 can be adjusted by the workers to adapt to target materials 10 with different outer diameters, so that the cleaning fixed structure has high compatibility and adaptability, and the production cost is reduced.

The adjusting rod 32 can drive the fixed block 31 to move in the horizontal direction, and the side surface of the fixed block 31 can abut against the edge of the target material 10. The target material 10 is placed on the fixed frame 11, and the two sides of the fixed frame 11 are provided with the fixed block 31 and the adjusting rod 32. The workers move the adjusting rod 32 to drive the fixed block 31 to move in the horizontal direction, so as to adjust the distance between the two fixed blocks 31 and abut against the edges of target materials 10 with different outer diameters.

[0040] Specifically, referring to Figures 2 to 4The fixing block 31 is provided with two first connecting holes 311.

Preferably, the two first connecting holes 311 are in the same vertical direction. In addition, the adjusting rod 32 is an integrally arranged U-shaped rod, two free parts 321 of the U-shaped rod are respectively arranged in the two first connecting holes 311 of the fixing block 31, and a curved part 322 of the U-shaped rod is used to connect the two free parts 321. After the U-shaped rod is arranged in the first connecting hole 311, the curved part 322 can be held by the worker to facilitate the subsequent movement of the adjusting rod 32, and the adjusting convenience is high. Correspondingly, the fixing frame 11 is provided with two adjusting rails 111 extending in the horizontal direction, and the two free parts 321 of the adjusting rod 32 are slidingly arranged in the adjusting rails 111. The adjusting rails 111 can limit the movement direction of the adjusting rod 32, thereby providing guidance for the movement of the fixing block 31.

[0042] In addition, in order to adapt to target materials 10 with different outer diameters by the first adjusting assembly 3, the fixing frame 11 is further provided with a second adjusting assembly 4 for adjusting the height of the target material 10. Specifically, the second adjusting assembly 4 includes a support block 41 and a connecting rod 42. The connecting rod 42 is arranged on the fixing frame 11, and the connecting rod 42 selectively penetrates the support block 41. When the connecting rod 42 penetrates the support block 41 and the fixing frame 11, the support block 41 is connected with the fixing frame 11, and the upper surface of the support block 41 can abut against the edge of the target material 10. When the cleaning fixing mechanism 1 fixes the target material 10, the side surface of the fixing block 31 in the first adjusting assembly 3 abuts against the edge of the target material 10, and the upper surface of the support block 41 in the second adjusting assembly 4 abuts against the lower edge of the target material 10. The support block 41 is provided with a plurality of support blocks 41, and the heights of different support blocks 41 are different. A plurality of support blocks 41 are selectively connected with the fixing frame 11. The worker can adjust the installation height of the target material 10 by replacing the support blocks 41 with different heights, so as to adapt to the outer diameter of the target material 10.

[0043] Specifically, referring to Figures 5 to 6The support block 41 is provided with a second connecting hole 411, the fixed frame 11 is provided with a third connecting hole 112, and the connecting rod 42 connects the support block 41 to the fixed frame 11 by penetrating the second connecting hole 411 and the third connecting hole 112. In order to improve the connection stability of the support block 41, the support block 41 is provided with two second connecting holes 411, and the fixed frame 11 is correspondingly provided with two third connecting holes 112. The connecting rod 42 is also a U-shaped rod as the adjusting rod 32.

[0044] In order to improve the support stability of the target material 10, the support block 41 is provided with a support groove 412, and the lower edge of the target material 10 can be located in the support groove 412. The support groove 412 can be a trapezoidal groove, and the groove bottom width of the trapezoidal groove is smaller than the groove top width, so that the trapezoidal groove can facilitate the rapid positioning and installation of the target material 10. In addition, different support blocks 41 have different heights, and the trapezoidal grooves have the same depth, so that the replacement of different support blocks 41 can adjust the installation height of the target material 10.

[0045] In addition, the cleaning fixing mechanism 1 further comprises a support frame 13, the support frame 13 is arranged above the fixed seat 12, the fixed frame 11 is fixed between the support frame 13 and the fixed seat 12, and the support frame 13 can improve the strength and rigidity of the whole cleaning fixing mechanism 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the target material 10 in the cleaning process.
