Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning ceramic anilox rollers, and in particular to a cleaning device for anilox rollers. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramic anilox rollers are components used in battery production. These rollers have numerous fine grooves and patterns. After use, these grooves and patterns contain impurities and residual slurry. The conventional cleaning method involves repeatedly brushing the ceramic anilox roller with a brush to remove the impurities from the grooves and patterns. However, some stubborn stains have a strong adhesion and are difficult to clean completely, requiring a long cleaning time. Furthermore, the friction from the brush may damage the ceramic anilox roller, affecting its usability. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a ceramic anilox roller cleaning device to solve the problem of low cleaning efficiency of ceramic anilox rollers.

[0004] Based on the technical problems existing in the background art, this utility model proposes an anilox roller cleaning device, including a box containing liquid, with clamps for holding the anilox roller connected to two opposite sides inside the box, an ultrasonic transducer mechanism penetrating into the box at the bottom, and a liquid supply mechanism connected to both sides of the box. The liquid outlet of the liquid supply mechanism faces the anilox roller and can blow liquid onto the anilox roller. In this solution, the two clamps in the box are used to hold the two ends of the anilox roller, and cleaning liquid can be injected into the box to clean the anilox roller. Under the action of the ultrasonic transducer mechanism, the anilox roller resonates, causing impurities on the anilox roller to detach from the anilox roller. The liquid supply mechanism can spray the cleaning liquid instantly, making the cleaning liquid on the surface of the anilox roller fluid, which can rinse the surface of the anilox roller, dissolve or fall into the cleaning liquid, and improve the cleaning effect of the entire device on the anilox roller.

[0005] Preferably, the clamp includes a base, a hollow tube, and an abutment. One end of the tube is connected to the base and then to the housing. The abutment is slidably installed inside the tube and can slide from inside the tube to outside the tube to abut one end of the anilox roller. An abutment plate is connected to the end of the abutment near the base. An elastic element is installed inside the tube, with its two ends abutting the abutment plate and the base, respectively. In this design, the clamp is connected to the housing via the base. One end of the anilox roller can clamp both ends of the anilox roller by squeezing the abutments of the two clamps. The abutments can contract relative to the tube, changing the gap between the two clamps. The abutments inside the tube can provide sufficient elasticity under the action of the elastic element, allowing the abutments to always protrude from the tube and have a telescopic function.

[0006] Preferably, the end of the tube away from the base is sealed, and the end of the tube away from the base is provided with an opening with a diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the tube. In this solution, the diameter of the opening of the tube is the same as the diameter of the contact member, and the diameter of the contact piece is larger than the diameter of the opening of the tube. The contact piece is located inside the tube and can prevent the contact member from detaching from the tube through the opening.

[0007] Preferably, a side groove is provided on the side of the pipe body to connect to the inside of the pipe body; in this solution, the side groove on the side of the pipe body can reduce the material of the pipe body, and at the same time provide a convenient installation position for the elastic element and the abutment element.

[0008] Preferably, the two opposing sides of the housing are provided with circumferentially distributed groups of holes, the bases of the two clamps are respectively installed at the center of the two groups of holes, and the outlets of the two liquid supply mechanisms are respectively connected to the two groups of holes; in this solution, the groups of holes in the housing can rinse the anilox roller along the axial direction of the anilox roller, quickly remove impurities from the surface of the anilox roller, and improve the cleaning efficiency of the anilox roller.

[0009] Preferably, the radius of the perforation group is larger than the radius of the anilox roller; in this solution, the perforation group needs to be able to conform to the surface of the anilox roller for rinsing, so as to avoid the end of the anilox roller blocking the cleaning liquid sprayed from the perforation group.

[0010] Preferably, the liquid level inside the tank does not exceed the perforation group. In this solution, the cleaning fluid sprayed from the perforation group needs to be processed inside the tank to form the internal liquid flow.

[0011] Preferably, a liquid outlet pipe is provided at the bottom of the box; in this solution, the liquid outlet pipe is used in conjunction with the liquid supply mechanism to keep the liquid level of the cleaning liquid in the box in an ideal state, that is, it only needs to cover the anilox roller and the perforation group.

[0012] Preferably, the liquid supply mechanism can spray cleaning liquid at intervals.

[0013] Preferably, an infrared scanner capable of scanning the interior of the box is provided at the top of the box; in this solution, the infrared scanner can scan the surface of the anilox roller to check whether the anilox roller is damaged.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the anilox roller cleaning device proposed in this utility model adopts the above-mentioned technical solution and achieves the following technical effects:

[0015] This invention can remove impurities from the anilox roller through ultrasonic vibration, thus avoiding damage during cleaning. The invention can also use an intermittent liquid supply mechanism to spray liquid and drive the liquid flow on the surface of the anilox roller, which can conveniently separate impurities from the anilox roller and improve the cleaning efficiency of the anilox roller.

[0022] Example

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-3This utility model proposes a cleaning device for an anilox roller 100, including a box 1 containing liquid. Two clamps 2 are connected to two opposing surfaces inside the box 1 to hold the anilox roller 100. The number of clamps 2 is two, and the anilox roller 100 is held between the two clamps 2. The number of clamps 2 can be increased to allow simultaneous cleaning inside the box 1. An ultrasonic transducer 3 is provided at the bottom of the box 1 and extends into the box 1. Liquid supply mechanisms 4 are connected to both sides of the box 1. The outlet of the liquid supply mechanism 4 faces the anilox roller 100 and can blow liquid onto the anilox roller 100. During operation, after the two ends of the anilox roller 100 are fixed by the clamps 2, cleaning liquid that covers the anilox roller 100 is injected into the box 1. At this time, the ultrasonic transducer 3 is activated to make the entire liquid vibrate, cleaning the surface of the anilox roller 100 in the cleaning liquid. After cleaning, the surface of the anilox roller 100 is rinsed by the liquid supply mechanism 4 to remove impurities from the surface of the anilox roller 100 and into the cleaning liquid.

[0024] In a specific embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 The clamp 2 includes a base 21, a hollow tube 22, and an abutment 23. One end of the tube 22 is connected to the base 21 and then to the housing 1. The abutment 23 is slidably installed inside the tube 22 and can slide from inside the tube 22 to outside the tube 22 to abut one end of the anilox roller 100. An abutment piece 24 is connected to the end of the abutment 23 near the base 21. An elastic element 25 is installed inside the tube 22, with both ends of the elastic element 25 abutting the abutment piece 24 and the base 21, respectively. Both ends of the anilox roller 100 have slots. One end of the contact piece 24 can be inserted into the contact piece 23, and the other contact piece 23 can be squeezed and retracted into the tube 22. When the slot corresponds to the tube 22, the contact piece 23 can enter the slot under the action of the elastic member 25 to clamp the anilox roller 100. In this solution, the diameter of the contact piece 24 is larger than the diameter of the contact piece 23, which can prevent the contact piece 23 from detaching from the pipe. The end of the contact piece 23 away from the base 21 is set as a hemispherical shape, which can facilitate the anilox roller 100 to squeeze the contact piece 23 to retract and detach from the clamp 2 when the anilox roller 100 detaches.

[0025] In a specific embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 The end of the tube body 22 away from the base 21 is sealed, and the end of the tube body 22 away from the base 21 is provided with an opening 221 with a diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the tube body 22; the abutment 23 slides relative to the tube body 22, and its abutment piece 24 is located inside the tube body 22 and connected to one end of the abutment 23. The diameter of the abutment piece 24 is larger than the opening 221, which can restrict the abutment 23 from sliding out of the tube body 22 and play a stabilizing role. At the same time, the abutment piece 24 can also increase the contact area of ​​the end of the abutment 23 with the elastic member 25.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 The side of the tube body 22 is provided with a side groove 222 that connects to the inside of the tube body 22; after the groove connects to the inside of the tube body 22, the contact piece 24 and the elastic element 25 can be easily inserted into the tube body 22 from the side groove 222, which can improve the ease of installation.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 The housing 1 has two sets of circumferentially distributed hole groups 11 on its two opposing sides. The bases 21 of the two clamps 2 are respectively installed at the center of the two sets of hole groups 11. The outlets of the two liquid supply mechanisms 4 are respectively connected to the two sets of hole groups 11. The hole group 11 has multiple spray holes. When the liquid supply mechanism 4 is running, liquid can be sprayed from the spray holes, causing the liquid on the surface of the anilox roller 100 to flow, driving the impurities on the surface of the anilox roller 100 to move and fall into the cleaning liquid. The radius of the hole group 11 is larger than the radius of the anilox roller 100, which can prevent the end of the anilox roller 100 from blocking the cleaning liquid sprayed from the hole group 11.

[0028] In a specific embodiment, refer to Figure 2 The liquid level inside the tank 1 is not above the hole group 11.

[0029] In a specific embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The bottom of the housing 1 is equipped with a liquid outlet pipe 12, and the liquid supply mechanism 4 can spray cleaning liquid intermittently. When the liquid is sprayed intermittently, the impurities on the surface of the anilox roller 100 will have a certain swaying effect, which can improve the cleaning effect.

[0030] In a specific embodiment, refer to Figure 1 An infrared scanner 200 capable of scanning the interior of the box 1 is installed at the top of the box 1. The infrared scanner 200 in this solution can scan the surface of each anilox roller 100 placed in the box 1 and can check the degree of damage to the anilox roller 100.

[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
