Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of spray cleaning technology, and in particular relates to a novel self-cleaning track drive mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, among all cleaning methods, spray cleaning is the most efficient and consistent in its effectiveness. In production and daily life, there are many things that need cleaning, and the types and stages of cleaning required are numerous, such as removing oil stains, dust, and surface rust from objects. Common manual cleaning methods are slow and costly. Spray cleaning, on the other hand, can clean workpieces in batches, with consistent results, strong controllability, and low cost. Therefore, spray cleaning is increasingly widely used in various industries, especially high-pressure or booster spray cleaning, which is convenient to operate and has good cleaning effects. For cleaning large batches of workpieces, it improves the working environment and enhances cleaning quality. Most existing spray cleaning devices are fixed structures, requiring numerous pipes and spray heads. Existing screw or slide rail structures mainly adopt a cross-shaped design, such as a double horizontal axis and single vertical axis slide rail design. The horizontal axis drives the vertical rod to move, and the spray head moves along the vertical axis to achieve X and Y axis positioning of the cleaning spray head. However, this design is costly, prone to deformation and failure, and can only achieve single-sided spraying, resulting in low work efficiency, high manufacturing and operating costs, and a limited application range.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-8 As shown, a novel self-cleaning track drive mechanism includes a mounting plate 1, a track 2, a support rod 3, a motor 4, a transmission wheel 5, a belt 6, a linkage 7, and a PLC controller (not shown). The track 2 has two relatively parallel upper tracks 21 and lower tracks 22. The upper track 21 is fixed to the lower side of the mounting plate 1. The upper track 21 and lower track 22 are respectively provided with an upper pulley assembly 23 and a lower pulley assembly 24. The two ends of the support rod 3 are respectively connected to the upper pulley assembly 23 and the lower pulley assembly 24. The motor 4 is located on one side of the upper track 21 and fixed to one end of the mounting plate 1. The transmission wheel 5 is located on the motor 4 and the other end of the mounting plate 1. The belt 6 connects the two transmission wheels 5. The linkage 7 is fixed to the support rod 3 and limitedly connected to the belt 6. The motor 4 is connected to the PLC controller. The two ends of the upper track 21 are respectively provided with limiters 8.
[0030] This application uses a track 2 device at both ends to distribute the spray pipes and spray heads of the spray device to opposite sides of the support rod 3. Then, the X and Y axes are synchronously cleaned through the linkage of the motor 4 and the belt 6. In the setting mode of the PLC controller, the motor 4 drives the support rod 3 to move back and forth on the track 2 to achieve cleaning. The structure design of the upper and lower tracks is adopted, and the upper track 21 drive method is preferred. On the one hand, it is beneficial to the structural distribution, and on the other hand, it can improve waterproofness. The design of the upper and lower pulleys 242 sets increases the stability perpendicular to the direction of movement while ensuring back and forth cleaning, that is, the impact of the cleaning pressure of the spray head on the track 2, thereby improving the stability of operation during the cleaning process. This structure is simple to set up and easy to operate, which greatly reduces the manufacturing cost and cleaning cost.
[0031] Vertical cleaning, compared to horizontal cleaning, can avoid the impact of upper wastewater on lower layers, especially when cleaning from bottom to top. Moreover, in horizontal cleaning, the track 2 is set vertically, and the wastewater has a significant impact on the track 2 during the cleaning process. In this application, the track 2, which mainly serves as the drive and weighing mechanism, is set at the top, thereby improving the safety, stability, and durability of the equipment.
[0032] The linkage 7 is connected to the belt 6 in a limiting manner. This can be achieved by the linkage 7 clamping the belt 6, or by the linkage 7 being fixed to the belt 6 with screws, or by the linkage 7 having teeth that mesh with the teeth of the belt 6. Alternatively, the belt 6 can be replaced with a chain.
[0033] The limit switch 8 controls the forward and reverse rotation of the motor 4, thereby enabling the track 2 device to complete the back-and-forth movement.
[0034] Furthermore, a tank track groove 9 is provided between the mounting plate 1 and the support rod 3.
[0035] The tank chain groove 9 allows the soft water pipe and line connecting the mounting plate 1 and the support rod 3 to bend and move more smoothly during the movement of the support rod 3.
[0036] Furthermore, the support rod 3 is provided with a fixing clip 31 on the opposite side.
[0037] The fixing clip 31 can effectively fix the spray pipe of the spraying device to the support rod 3, ensuring the stability of movement and spraying process.
[0038] Furthermore, the upper pulley assembly 23 is provided with an upper pulley frame 231 and an upper pulley group 232. The upper pulley group 232 is located on both sides of the upper pulley frame 231. The upper pulley frame 231 between the upper pulley groups 232 is provided with a mounting platform 233. The support rod 3 is connected to the mounting platform 233 by bolts. The lower pulley assembly 24 is provided with a lower pulley frame 241 and a lower pulley 242. The lower pulley 242 is located at the lower end of the lower pulley frame 241. The lower pulley frame 241 is connected to the support rod 3.
[0039] Since the upper pulley assembly 23 is equipped with transmission components such as the motor 4, it adopts a structure with upper pulleys mounted on both sides and multiple sets of upper pulleys, which can ensure the stability of the upper pulley assembly 23; and it can be well connected to the support rod 3 through the mounting platform 233, ensuring the stability of the entire structure. The lower pulley assembly 24 is the driven component relative to the upper pulley assembly 23, and adopts a simpler structural design, which can reduce manufacturing costs and simplify the overall structure.
[0040] As a further improvement, the upper pulley assembly 23 is provided with at least two sets of upper pulleys 232, and the lower pulley assembly 24 is provided with at least one lower pulley 242.
[0041] The upper pulley block 232 and the lower pulley 242 form a basic triangular structure to prevent the support rod 3 from tilting back and forth during operation.
[0042] As a further improvement, the upper pulley assembly 23 is provided with 4 sets of upper pulleys 232 connected to the support rod 3, and the lower pulley assembly 24 is provided with 2 lower pulleys 242 connected to the support rod 3.
[0043] The combination of sufficient upper pulleys 232 and lower pulleys 242 ensures the stability and synchronization of the operation of the upper and lower structures.
[0044] Furthermore, the upper track 21 is a track groove, and the upper pulley assembly 23 is disposed in the track groove; the lower track 22 is a "convex" track, and the lower pulley 242 is a corresponding "concave" pulley, with the "convex" track and the "concave" pulley being matched and connected.
[0045] The upper track 21 is a track groove, and the upper pulley assembly 23 is set inside the track groove, making the upper pulley assembly 232 stable within the square frame of the track groove, resulting in more stable operation and facilitating the installation of the entire structure. Since the upper pulley assembly 23 is located at the top and installed using the track groove, installation is more convenient and faster, avoiding the risk of falling. The lower track 22 uses a convex track and a concave pulley for matching connection, serving as a guide and preventing deviation under lateral forces. Its simple structure facilitates installation.
[0046] Furthermore, an elastic connector 32 is provided between the support rod 3 and the lower wheel frame 241. The elastic connector 32 consists of an elastic rubber 321 and a compression spring 322. The lower wheel frame 241 and the support rod 3 are connected by the elastic rubber 321, and the compression spring 322 is located inside the elastic rubber 321 and abuts against the support rod 3 or the lower wheel frame 241.
[0047] An elastic connector 32 is added between the support rod 3 and the lower roller frame 241, thereby enabling better contact between the upper and lower roller assemblies and the upper and lower tracks, improving stability and preventing tilting. The elastic rubber 321 works with the compression spring 322 to provide deformation and basic support. The compression spring 322 can also be adjusted by working with the guide rod and guide hole. Guide rods are provided on the support rod 3 or the lower roller frame 241, and guide holes are provided on the corresponding lower roller frame 241 or the support rod 3, allowing adjustment of the distance between the lower roller frame 241 and the support rod 3, ensuring close contact between the upper and lower roller assemblies and the upper and lower tracks.
[0048] Furthermore, the PLC controller can perform cleaning operations according to a set time cycle to achieve an energy-saving operation mode.
[0049] This application utilizes upper and lower tracks with upper and lower pulley assemblies connected to both ends of a support rod. A linkage component is fixedly connected to the support rod, and this linkage is driven by a belt. The track mechanism employs a motor and belt as the driving components, which in turn drive the support rod and its accessories via the linkage. Limiters at the ends of the upper and lower tracks trigger the pulleys to move in the opposite direction, achieving synchronous cleaning in the X and Y directions. A PLC controller operates in an energy-saving mode, performing cleaning according to a set time cycle. This invention, with its upper and lower tracks, belt-driven support rod movement, and spray cleaning device mounted on the support rod, minimizes mutual interference. The simple track design, particularly suitable for the structural stability and operational control of pressurized spray cleaning devices, facilitates its widespread application.
[0050] 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, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
