[0027] It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] In a typical embodiment of this utility model, refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, an automatically cleaning grinding machine device includes a grinding machine 1, which has a grinding mechanism and a grinding machine conveyor belt 2 for conveying workpieces. The grinding mechanism is used to grind the workpieces, and the grinding machine conveyor belt 2 is used to transport the workpieces laterally. The grinding mechanism and the grinding machine conveyor belt 2 are existing technologies. The grinding machine 1 has an opening at the end of the grinding machine conveyor belt 2 to facilitate the grinding machine conveyor belt 2 to transport the workpieces to the next station for spray cleaning. In this embodiment, the grinding machine conveyor belt 2 can transport the workpieces to the cleaning conveyor belt 4 of the cleaning mechanism 3.
[0030] Specifically, the rear end of the grinding machine equipment 1 is connected to a cleaning mechanism 3. The main body of the cleaning mechanism 3 includes a support frame 31. A cleaning conveyor belt 4 is provided at the top of the support frame 31. An upper spray assembly 91 and a lower spray assembly 92 are respectively provided on the upper and lower sides of the cleaning conveyor belt 4. The spray assemblies are connected to a water supply unit. The front end of the cleaning conveyor belt 4 is connected to the end of the grinding machine conveyor belt 2. A guide mechanism is provided on the support frame 31 at the front end of the cleaning conveyor belt 4 to guide the workpiece from the grinding machine conveyor belt 2 to the cleaning conveyor belt 4. The support frame 31 at the rear end of the cleaning conveyor belt 4 is set as a discharge area.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 31 is composed of multiple columns and crossbeams connected together, and the cleaning conveyor belt 4 is located at the top of the support frame 31. The cleaning conveyor belt 4 includes two sets of chains near the left and right sides of the cleaning mechanism 3. Both ends of the two sets of chains 41 are engaged with sprockets 42. A conveyor mesh belt is connected between the two sets of chains 41. The conveyor mesh belt has evenly distributed mesh holes to facilitate the passage of spray water.
[0032] The two sprockets at the same end of the two sets of chains 41 are located on the same connecting shaft, and the connecting shaft away from the grinding machine 1 is connected to the drive mechanism.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, connecting shafts are installed on the support frame 31 via support plates on both sides. The connecting shafts rotatably engage with the support plates. One end of one set of connecting shafts extends outside the support plate and connects to a drive motor, causing the connecting shaft to rotate. This, in turn, drives the sprocket 42 to rotate, thereby achieving chain drive 41 and thus moving the conveyor belt. Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor belt with its conveying surface facing upwards can transport workpieces. The upper spray assembly 91 and the lower spray assembly 92 are located above and below the conveyor belt with its conveying surface facing upwards, respectively, and are used to spray and clean the workpieces from above and below when the conveyor belt is transporting the workpieces.
[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a liquid receiving box 5 is provided on the support frame 31 below the cleaning conveyor belt 4. The liquid receiving box is located directly below the cleaning conveyor belt 4, and its length is adapted to the extension length of the cleaning conveyor belt 4. The top of the liquid receiving box 5 is open to collect water falling from the cleaning conveyor belt 5 above.
[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the liquid receiving box 5 is provided with a water outlet 51. The water outlet 51 is connected to the water tank 7 located at the bottom of the support frame through the liquid receiving pipe 6. The water after spraying passes through the liquid receiving box 5, the water outlet 51, and the liquid receiving pipe 6 in sequence before entering the water tank.
[0036] The top of the water tank 7 is equipped with a water pump 14. The input end of the water pump 14 extends into the water tank 7, and the output end of the water pump 14 is connected to the upper spray assembly 91 and the lower spray assembly 92 through the water outlet main pipe 141 to achieve circulating cleaning.
[0037] To ensure that the circulating cleaning spray water is free of iron powder, several magnets (not shown in the figure) are installed on the bottom plate of water tank 7 via corresponding support structures to attract iron powder. The shape of the magnets is not limited, and multiple magnets are evenly distributed in the water tank, preferably with the magnet height at the middle of the water tank's height. The magnets can attract iron powder, thus ensuring that the spray water can be recycled. The water tank has an openable, sealed cover, which can be periodically opened to remove the magnets, clean off the iron powder, and then reinstall them.
[0038] In a preferred embodiment, a magnet can also be fixed at the drain outlet 51 of the liquid receiving box, which improves the adsorption of iron powder and ensures the cleaning of the circulating spray water to the greatest extent.
[0039] It should be noted that the form of the bracket for mounting the magnet is not limited. The bracket structure may include a support rod and a clamping component at the top of the support rod. The clamping component can clamp the magnet. The fixing of the magnet is a prior art.
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, both the upper spray assembly 91 and the lower spray assembly 92 include four spray pipes arranged in parallel. The extension direction of the spray pipes is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the cleaning conveyor belt 4. The length of the spray pipes is adapted to the width of the cleaning conveyor belt 4. The spray pipes can be supported by a support frame to fix their position. The spray pipes are provided with several nozzles for spraying water.
[0041] It is understood that the upper spray assembly 91 is located above the workpiece conveyor section of the cleaning conveyor belt 4, and the lower spray assembly 92 is located below the workpiece conveyor section of the cleaning conveyor belt 4, respectively spraying and cleaning the workpieces from above and below. The spray pipes serve as branch pipes at the end of the main water outlet pipe 141. Water from the main water outlet pipe 141 enters the eight spray pipes through corresponding branch lines to clean the workpieces on the cleaning conveyor belt 4. The workpieces from the grinding machine 1 are conveyed to the upper and lower spray areas via the cleaning conveyor belt 4. After the upper and lower surfaces of the workpieces are sprayed and cleaned, they are then conveyed to the discharge area via a conveyor chain. The discharge area can be configured as a support plate structure connected to the rear end of the cleaning conveyor belt 4 to receive the cleaned workpieces, which are then picked up manually.
[0042] This embodiment enables the workpiece to be directly transported to the cleaning conveyor belt for spray cleaning after being ground by the grinding machine. There is no need to collect the workpiece and transfer it to the cleaning machine. This integrates the grinding and cleaning processes, saving processing time and reducing processing costs.
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, a protective cover 8 is provided above the upper spray assembly 91 to prevent spray water from splashing.
[0044] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the height of the cleaning conveyor belt 4 is lower than that of the grinding machine conveyor belt 2, and its width is also smaller than that of the grinding machine conveyor belt 2. In order to enable the workpiece on the grinding machine conveyor belt to smoothly enter the cleaning conveyor belt 4, a guide mechanism is provided on the support frame at the front end of the cleaning conveyor belt 4 to guide the workpiece from the grinding machine conveyor belt to the cleaning conveyor belt.
[0045] The guiding mechanism includes a support rod 11 mounted on a support frame at the front end of the cleaning conveyor belt, with a guide plate 12 mounted on the support rod. The guide plate is fixed to the support rod 11 by a fastener 13, which can be an arc-shaped plate and bolts. The guide plate is inclined, and a guide block 121 is located at the rear end of the guide plate 12. The guide block 121 is positioned between the cleaning conveyor belt and the guide plate 12, with its guide surface on the same plane as the guide surface of the guide plate 12. This design facilitates the smooth guidance of workpieces onto the cleaning conveyor belt. By implementing this guiding mechanism, various product shapes can be accommodated, with a maximum outer diameter of 170mm for the workpiece. This embodiment enables workpieces from the upstream grinding machine to automatically enter the cleaning conveyor belt for spray cleaning, saving processing time and improving work efficiency.
[0046] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
