[0004] The cleaning device for mold processing in the aforementioned patent has the following shortcomings: when the cleaning brush rotates to deeply clean stubborn stains on the mold surface, it can only deeply clean two sides of the mold, and cannot deeply clean the other two sides and the top and bottom parts, resulting in dead corners in the deep cleaning area and failing to guarantee the cleaning effect. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a cleaning device for mold processing.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A cleaning device for mold processing includes an ultrasonic cleaning box. Two sets of upright plates are fixed to the top of the ultrasonic cleaning box, and electric telescopic rods are fixed to the outer walls of one side of each of the two upright plates. The output ends of the two electric telescopic rods are fixed to connecting plates by pins. Supports are welded to the bottom of the connecting plates, and swing arms are movably connected to the inner walls of the supports. A connecting seat is movably connected to the end of the swing arms away from the supports. A pad is fixed between the two connecting seats, and a draining net is fixed to the top of the pad. A clamping component for fixing the mold is installed on the top of the draining net.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the clamping assembly includes a mounting plate, a threaded rod, a guide rod, and a clamping frame. The mounting plate is welded to the top outer wall of the drain net, and the guide rod is movably connected to the inner wall of a through hole in the side wall of the mounting plate. The clamping frame is fixed to one end of the guide rod by a pin, and the threaded rod is threaded to the side wall of the mounting plate, with one end of the threaded rod movably connected to the side wall of the clamping frame. The clamping assembly also includes an abutment frame welded to the top of the drain net.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: the top of the ultrasonic cleaning box is equipped with a slide rail, and the slide rail is movably connected to an annular tube via a slider, with a nozzle installed on the inner surface of the annular tube.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a horizontal plate is welded to the top of one of the vertical plates, and a water pump is fixed to the top of the horizontal plate, and a corrugated pipe is installed between the water pump output end and the side wall of the annular pipe through a joint.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the slide rail component includes a sliding frame, and the sliding frame is fixed to the side wall of the ultrasonic cleaning box, and one of the sets of sliders installed on the annular tube is movably connected to the sliding frame.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the slide rail component also includes a rectangular plate, a lead screw and a drive motor. Two sets of rectangular plates are fixed to the outer wall of the other side of the ultrasonic cleaning box, and the lead screw is movably connected between the two rectangular plates. A drive motor is fixed to one side of the outer wall of one set of rectangular plates, and the output end of the drive motor is connected to one end of the lead screw through a coupling. Another set of sliders installed on the annular tube is connected to the lead screw through a nut.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a cleaning device for mold processing, which has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. The mold is cleaned using a combination of ultrasonic cleaning and rinsing. The ultrasonic cleaning chamber is equipped with an ultrasonic generator and transducer, which can use the cleaning fluid to ultrasonically clean the mold, effectively removing most of the dirt on the mold surface. After cleaning, the drain net is moved up by the electric telescopic rod to remove the mold from the cleaning fluid. Then, the slide rail drives the annular tube and nozzle to move laterally, rinsing the mold from different directions (up, down, left, and right) to remove the small amount of dirt attached to the mold surface, improving the cleanliness of the mold and ensuring thorough cleaning.

[0017] 2. The device is equipped with automated components such as an electric telescopic rod and a drive motor, which realizes automatic lifting of the mold and automatic lateral movement of the nozzle. Initially, the electric telescopic rod retracts to place the draining screen on the surface of the cleaning liquid for easy placement of the mold. During cleaning, the electric telescopic rod extends to immerse the mold in the cleaning liquid. After cleaning, the electric telescopic rod moves again to remove the mold from the cleaning liquid. At the same time, the drive motor drives the lead screw to rotate, which drives the annular pipe and the nozzle to move laterally for rinsing. The whole process is simple and convenient to operate, improves work efficiency, and reduces labor intensity.

[0018] 3. Sliding protective covers are installed on both sides of the ultrasonic cleaning box. When rinsing the mold, the protective covers are slid to cover the mold, which can effectively block the splashing liquid during the rinsing process and prevent the liquid from splashing onto the operator or surrounding equipment, thus ensuring a safe and clean operating environment.

[0019] The parts of this device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] A cleaning device for mold processing, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the ultrasonic cleaning box 1 is included, and two sets of upright plates 12 are fixed on the top of the ultrasonic cleaning box 1. Electric telescopic rods 3 are fixed to one side of the outer wall of each of the two upright plates 12 by bolts. Connecting plates 7 are fixed to the output ends of the two electric telescopic rods 3 by pins. Supports 15 are welded to the bottom of the connecting plates 7. A swing arm 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support 15. A connecting seat 17 is rotatably connected to the end of the swing arm 8 away from the support 15. A pad 18 is fixed between the two connecting seats 17 by bolts. A drain net 19 is fixed to the top of the pad 18 by bolts. A clamping component for fixing the mold is installed on the top of the drain net 19.

[0029] The drain net 19 can be used to place the mold that needs to be cleaned. The clamping component fixes the mold by clamping to ensure the stability of the mold. During cleaning, a certain amount of cleaning fluid is first injected into the ultrasonic cleaning box 1. The ultrasonic cleaning box 1 is equipped with an ultrasonic generator and an ultrasonic transducer, so that the cleaning fluid can be used to clean the mold ultrasonically. Ultrasonic cleaning is a mature technology, so it will not be described in detail.

[0030] In the initial state, the two sets of electric telescopic rods 3 control their output ends to retract, so that the drain net 19 is positioned above the surface of the cleaning liquid in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 under the linkage of the swing arm 8. This makes it easy to place the mold to be cleaned on the drain net 19 and fix it with the clamping assembly. After the mold is fixed, the two electric telescopic rods 3 control their output ends to extend. The swing arm 8 converts the horizontal linear motion of the output ends of the electric telescopic rods 3 into the downward vertical motion of the drain net 19, so that the mold on the drain net 19 is gradually immersed in the cleaning liquid for ultrasonic cleaning during the downward movement.

[0031] The clamping assembly includes a mounting plate 20, a threaded rod 21, a guide rod 22, and a clamping frame 23. The mounting plate 20 is welded to the top outer wall of the drain net 19, and the guide rod 22 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the through hole opened on the side wall of the mounting plate 20. The clamping frame 23 is fixed to one end of the guide rod 22 by a pin, and the threaded rod 21 is threaded to the side wall of the mounting plate 20. One end of the threaded rod 21 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the clamping frame 23. The clamping assembly also includes an abutment frame 16 welded to the top of the drain net 19, and the abutment frame 16 and the clamping frame 23 are used in cooperation.

[0032] When fixing the mold, first place it on the drain net 19 and fit one side of the mold against the side of the abutment frame 16. When the drain net 19 is heavy, a lifting device can be used for hoisting. Then rotate the threaded rod 21 so that the clamping frame 23 moves laterally under the guidance of the guide rod 22 until the clamping frame 23 fits against the other side of the mold. Use the clamping frame 23 in conjunction with the abutment frame 16 to clamp and fix the mold.

[0033] The ultrasonic cleaning box 1 is equipped with a slide rail on the top, and the slide rail is slidably connected to an annular tube 9 via a slider. A nozzle 10 is installed on the inner surface of the annular tube 9. A set of vertical plates 12 are welded to the top of a horizontal plate 27, and a water pump 11 is fixed to the top of the horizontal plate 27. A corrugated pipe 28 is installed between the output end of the water pump 11 and the side wall of the annular tube 9 via a connector.

[0034] After the ultrasonic cleaning of the mold is completed, the drain net 19 is indirectly driven to move upward and reset by the electric telescopic rod 3. When the bottom height of the drain net 19 is higher than the height of the nozzle 10 at the bottom of the annular tube 9, the output end of the electric telescopic rod 3 stops moving. During the process of removing the mold from the cleaning liquid, a small amount of dirt will be attached. The slide is used to make the annular tube 9 and the nozzle 10 move laterally along the top of the ultrasonic cleaning box 1. The nozzle 10 can be used to rinse the mold from different directions, up, down, left and right, to clean the attached dirt and ensure the cleaning effect of the mold. During rinsing, the input end of the water pump 11 is connected to the water supply pipe (not shown). The water pump pressurizes the water and then inputs it into the annular tube 9 through the corrugated pipe 28. Finally, it is sprayed out through the nozzle 10 to rinse the surface of the mold.

[0035] The slide rail component includes a sliding frame 13, which is fixed to the side wall of the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1 by bolts. One set of sliders installed on the annular tube 9 is slidably connected to the sliding frame 13. The slide rail component also includes a rectangular plate 24, a lead screw 25, and a drive motor 26. Two sets of rectangular plates 24 are fixed to the outer wall of the ultrasonic cleaning chamber 1 on the other side by bolts. The lead screw 25 is rotatably connected between the two rectangular plates 24. One set of rectangular plates 24 has a drive motor 26 fixed to one side of its outer wall by bolts. The output end of the drive motor 26 is connected to one end of the lead screw 25 through a coupling. The other set of sliders installed on the annular tube 9 is connected to the lead screw 25 through a nut.

[0036] The drive motor 26 can drive the lead screw 25 to rotate, thereby causing the annular tube 9 to move laterally under the guidance of the sliding frame 13. This adjusts the lateral position of the annular tube 9 and the nozzle 10 to reduce dead angles in the rinsing of the mold. In actual operation, to avoid splashing liquid from affecting the lead screw 25 and the sliding frame 13, a special protective cover can be used to cover the lead screw 25 and the sliding frame 13 for protection.

[0037] The ultrasonic cleaning box 1 has an inlet valve 2 and an outlet valve 6 fixed on one side of its outer wall from top to bottom.

[0038] When the inlet valve 2 is opened, the cleaning fluid can be injected into the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 through the pipe (not shown). When the drain valve 6 is opened, the waste liquid after cleaning can be discharged.

[0039] Working principle: In the initial state, the output ends of the two sets of electric telescopic rods 3 are in a retracted state, so that the drain net 19 is located above the surface of the cleaning liquid in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 under the linkage of the swing arm 8, making it convenient to place the mold to be cleaned on the drain net 19. If the drain net 19 is heavy, it can be hoisted with the help of a lifting device. After the mold is placed, one side of it is attached to the side of the abutment frame 16. Then, the threaded rod 21 is rotated and the clamping frame 23 moves laterally under the guidance of the guide rod 22 until it is attached to the other side of the mold. The clamping frame 23 and the abutment frame 16 are used to clamp and fix the mold. A certain amount of cleaning liquid is injected into the ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 through the liquid inlet valve 2. The ultrasonic cleaning tank 1 is equipped with an ultrasonic generator and an ultrasonic transducer. After the mold is fixed, the output ends of the two electric telescopic rods 3 are extended simultaneously. The swing arm 8 is used to convert the lateral linear movement of the output ends of the electric telescopic rods 3 into the vertical movement of the drain net 19. The downward movement of the pump causes the mold on the drain net 19 to gradually immerse in the cleaning solution. Ultrasonic cleaning technology is used to clean the mold. After the ultrasonic cleaning is completed, the drain net 19 is indirectly driven to move upward and reset by the electric telescopic rod 3. When the bottom height of the drain net 19 is higher than the height of the nozzle 10 at the bottom of the annular tube 9, the output end of the electric telescopic rod 3 stops moving. When the mold is removed from the cleaning solution, a small amount of dirt will be attached. At this time, the drive motor 26 drives the lead screw 25 to rotate. Under the guidance of the sliding frame 13, the annular tube 9 and the nozzle 10 move laterally along the ultrasonic cleaning box 1. At the same time, the input end of the water pump 11 is connected to the water supply pipe. After the water pump pressurizes the water, it is input into the annular tube 9 through the corrugated pipe 28 and finally sprayed out through the nozzle 10. The mold surface is rinsed from different directions (up, down, left, and right) to clean the attached dirt and ensure the cleaning effect of the mold. After the cleaning is completed, the drain valve 6 is opened to discharge the waste liquid after cleaning.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] A cleaning device for mold processing, in order to effectively reduce liquid splashing, such as... Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this embodiment makes the following additions based on embodiment 1: the outer walls of both sides of the ultrasonic cleaning box 1 are fixed with side slide plates 14 by bolts, and the outer walls of the two side slide plates 14 are slidably connected with protective covers 4, and the outer walls of both sides of the ultrasonic cleaning box 1 are fixed with limiting plates 5 to limit the protective covers 4.

[0042] The protective cover 4 is slidable and covers the mold when it needs to be rinsed, thereby reducing liquid splashing during the rinsing process. After rinsing, the protective cover 4 is slid to one end of the ultrasonic cleaning box 1 without affecting the loading and unloading of the mold. The limiting plate 5 limits the maximum movement distance of the protective cover 4 to prevent the protective cover 4 from falling off the side slide plate 14 and affecting the safety of use.

[0043] 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.
