Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aluminum alloy machining tool cleaning technology, and in particular to a portable device for quickly removing aluminum stuck to tools. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, during the machining of aluminum castings, the high-speed rotation of the machining tool can cause localized overheating of the aluminum alloy in contact with the tool. This leads to localized softening of the aluminum alloy, which then adheres to the tool surface, resulting in aluminum sticking. Aluminum sticking to the tool firstly affects machining accuracy, as the adhered aluminum material can cause toolpath deviation, affecting the size and shape of the workpiece. Secondly, it reduces tool life, as the adhered aluminum material may accelerate tool wear or damage. Currently, tool manufacturers primarily address aluminum sticking by using high-frequency heating to melt the adhered aluminum and clean the tool. While this method can remove the sticking, it has limitations and is difficult to implement, making it unsuitable for on-site machining operations and sometimes requiring return to the factory for repair, which can severely impact production schedules.

[0003] To address this, a portable device for quickly removing aluminum adhering to cutting tools is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable and rapid device for removing aluminum stuck to knives, aiming to solve or improve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following solution: This utility model provides a portable and rapid device for removing aluminum residue from knives, including a liquid storage tank for holding sodium hydroxide solution; a knife placement platform is provided inside the liquid storage tank, with a gap between the knife placement platform and the bottom wall of the liquid storage tank; multiple knife placement holes of different sizes are provided on the knife placement platform, with the diameter of the knife placement holes gradually decreasing from top to bottom; the knife placement holes are used to allow the knife tip to pass through and to hold the knife handle in place.

[0006] Optionally, multiple support rods are fixed to the opposite side walls of the tool placement platform, and multiple adjustment ports are opened on the opposite side walls of the liquid storage tank. The multiple support rods are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple adjustment ports, and the support rods extend out of the adjustment ports.

[0007] Optionally, a baffle is fixed to the side wall of the adjustment port, the baffle forming an U-shaped channel in the adjustment port, the support rod slidingly contacting the channel, and the support rod being supported on the top of the baffle or on the inner bottom wall of the adjustment port.

[0008] Optionally, the bottom of the liquid storage tank is provided with a cavity, and the inner bottom wall of the liquid storage tank is provided with a number of air holes communicating with the cavity.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] Reference Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a portable and quick device for removing aluminum stuck to knives, including a liquid storage tank 1, which is used to hold sodium hydroxide solution; a knife placement platform 2 is provided in the liquid storage tank 1, and there is a gap between the knife placement platform 2 and the bottom wall of the liquid storage tank 1. The knife placement platform 2 has multiple knife placement holes 3 of different sizes, and the diameter of the knife placement holes 3 gradually decreases from top to bottom. The knife placement holes 3 are used to allow the knife tip to pass through and to hold the knife handle in place.

[0020] By setting multiple tool placement holes 3 of different sizes, it is convenient to remove aluminum adhering to tools of different types. The liquid tank 1 contains sodium hydroxide solution, and the tool placement platform 2 is located above the sodium hydroxide solution. The tool is placed in the appropriate tool placement hole 3, and the end of the tool with aluminum alloy adhering to it is immersed in the sodium hydroxide solution. The sodium hydroxide solution first reacts with the oxide film of the aluminum alloy, causing the oxide film to break down, and then reacts directly with the aluminum alloy to generate sodium aluminate. Sodium aluminate is soluble in water, thereby removing the aluminum adhering to the tool surface. Since there is usually a gap between the aluminum adhering to the tool and the tool, the sodium hydroxide solution reacts directly with the aluminum adhering to the gap, thereby causing the aluminum adhering to the tool to fall off in one piece, thus accelerating the removal efficiency.

[0021] In some alternative embodiments, multiple support rods 4 are fixed to the opposite side walls of the tool placement platform 2, and multiple adjustment ports 5 are opened on the opposite side walls of the liquid storage tank 1. The multiple support rods 4 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple adjustment ports 5, and the support rods 4 extend out of the adjustment ports 5.

[0022] In some alternative embodiments, a baffle 6 is fixed to the side wall of the adjustment port 5, the baffle 6 makes the adjustment port 5 form a U-shaped channel, the support rod 4 slides in contact with the channel, and the support rod 4 is supported on the top of the baffle 6 or on the inner bottom wall of the adjustment port 5.

[0023] The support rod 4 is supported on the top of the baffle 6, thereby increasing the height of the tool placement platform 2. The support rod 4 is supported on the inner bottom wall of the adjustment port 5, thereby reducing the distance between the tool placement platform 2 and the inner bottom wall of the liquid storage tank 1, thus realizing the adjustment of the position of the tool placement platform 2, which is suitable for removing aluminum residue from different tools.

[0024] In some optional embodiments, a cavity is provided at the bottom of the liquid storage tank 1, and a plurality of air holes 7 communicating with the cavity are provided on the inner bottom wall of the liquid storage tank 1. A ventilation pipe 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the liquid storage tank 1. One end of the ventilation pipe 8 is connected to the cavity, and the other end is fixedly connected to the fan 9. The air outlet of the fan 9 faces the ventilation pipe 8.

[0025] Fan 9 blows outside air into ventilation pipe 8, which then blows it out through several vents 7, causing the sodium hydroxide solution to bubble. The vents 7 are evenly distributed on the bottom wall of the storage tank 1, making the bubbles more dense and uniform, accelerating the reaction rate and improving the removal speed of aluminum residue. The amount of bubbles generated can be adjusted by controlling the wind speed of fan 9.

[0026] In some optional embodiments, a base plate is fixed to the bottom of the liquid storage tank 1, and a protective cover 10 is provided on the outer side of the liquid storage tank 1. The bottom of the protective cover 10 is fixed to the base plate. The tops of both the liquid storage tank 1 and the protective cover 10 are open. A gap is provided between the inner side wall of the protective cover 10 and the outer side wall of the liquid storage tank 1. An avoidance opening 11 is provided on the side wall of the protective cover 10 near the support rod 4.

[0027] By setting up a protective cover 10, when solution accidentally splashes out of the storage tank 1, it can be intercepted by the protective cover 10 to prevent the solution from flowing out of the device.

[0028] In some alternative embodiments, a base 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate, and a plurality of heating tubes 13 are fixedly embedded in the base 12.

[0029] The portion of the base 12 above the heating tube 13 and the base plate both have good thermal conductivity, allowing heat from the heating tube 13 to be transferred to the base plate and then to the storage tank 1. This heats the solution in the storage tank 1, appropriately increasing the temperature of the chemical reagents and thus improving the chemical reaction rate. The on-time and heating temperature of the heating tube 13 are controlled by a controller.

[0030] In some optional embodiments, an ultrasonic generator and an ultrasonic transducer are also provided. The ultrasonic transducer is fixed to the liquid storage tank 1. The main function of the ultrasonic generator is to convert the mains power into a high-frequency AC signal that matches the ultrasonic transducer, thereby driving the ultrasonic transducer to work. The ultrasonic transducer is a piezoelectric conversion device that converts a high-frequency sinusoidal voltage signal into a high-frequency mechanical vibration signal. The vibration signal is transmitted and acts on the solution to generate a cavitation effect, which facilitates the removal of aluminum adhering to the tool surface. Through the action of ultrasonic waves and the chemical reaction of the solution, the action is combined to improve the removal efficiency of aluminum adhering to the tool.

[0031] Simultaneously, a first magnetic plate is fixed to the bottom of the support rod 4, and second magnetic plates are fixed to the inner bottom wall of the adjustment port 5 and the top of the baffle 6, respectively. When the support rod 4 is supported on the top of the baffle 6, the first magnetic plate and the second magnetic plate on the baffle 6 are magnetically attracted. When the position needs to be changed, the support rod 4 is pulled, and the first magnetic plate and the second magnetic plate on the baffle 6 are separated. The support rod 4 slides in the channel, so that the support rod 4 is supported on the inner bottom wall of the adjustment port 5. At this time, the first magnetic plate and the second magnetic plate on the inner bottom wall of the adjustment port 5 are magnetically attracted, which improves the positioning stability and avoids displacement during ultrasonic vibration. During operation, the base 12 is placed on the workbench or the ground. A shock absorption device can also be installed between the base and the workbench to reduce the vibration of the workbench.

[0032] In use, the aluminum-adhesive tool is removed and placed on the tool placement platform 2, then inserted into the corresponding tool placement hole 3. The tool is immersed in the chemical solution. The height of the support rod 4 can be adjusted as needed. The heating element 13, ultrasonic waves, and fan 9 are turned on. During the immersion process, the tool is removed every 10 minutes to observe the cleaning effect. After cleaning, the tool is removed and the solution residue on the surface is removed with clean water. Then, rust-preventive oil is applied to the surface of the tool for maintenance. During the reaction process, heating and ultrasonic vibration accelerate the reaction between aluminum and chemical reagents. At the same time, liquid bubbling increases the liquid reaction activity and the removal of reactants from the aluminum alloy surface, thus accelerating the removal of aluminum adhesion.
