Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aluminum tube production technology, specifically relating to a waste cleaning device for aluminum tubes. Background Technology

[0002] In the aluminum tube processing, efficient removal of waste materials inside the tubes is crucial for ensuring product quality. Traditional methods of cleaning waste materials inside aluminum tubes heavily rely on manual intervention. Operators must manually place the aluminum tubes at the cleaning station, operate the cleaning equipment to treat the inner wall of the tubes, and then manually transfer them to subsequent processes after cleaning. This process has extremely limited automation, resulting in high labor costs due to the large amount of manpower required, and low operational efficiency, making it difficult to meet the capacity demands of large-scale production. Furthermore, the inconsistency of manual operation leads to inconsistent cleaning results, making it impossible to ensure the accuracy and stability of the cleaning process. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[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] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides the following technical solution: A waste cleaning device for aluminum tubes, including a workbench 1, a cleaning motor 2, brushes 3, a PLC controller 4, and a control switch. The drive shaft of the cleaning motor 2 is connected to the brushes 3. An automatic tube loading device is provided on the workbench 1. The automatic tube loading device includes a roller assembly 5, a drive motor 6, a linear motion slide 7, a slide rail 8, an ejection cylinder 9, a baffle plate 10, a pressure roller 11, and a pressure cylinder 12. The roller assembly 5 is mounted on the workbench 1 via a support 13. The drive motor 6 is mounted on the support 13, and the drive shaft of the drive motor 6 is connected to the roller assembly 5. The linear motion slide 7 is mounted on the workbench 1 via a top frame 14. The cleaning motor 2 is connected to the linear motion slide 7. On the slide table 7, the pressing cylinder 12 is mounted on the top frame 14. The push rod of the pressing cylinder 12 passes through the top frame 14 and is connected to the pressing wheel 11. The pressing wheel 11 is located above the roller group 5. The slide 8 is mounted on the worktable 1 via the bracket 15. The downward direction of the slide 8 is tangent to the roller group 5. The blocking plate 10 is disposed in the slide 8. The ejection cylinder 9 is disposed at the bottom of the slide 8. The ejection cylinder 9 is connected to an ejection plate. The slide 8 has a fitting groove adapted to the ejection plate. The roller group 5, the blocking plate 10, and the ejection plate are arranged in sequence. The controller is connected to the drive motor 6, the linear motion slide table 7, the ejection cylinder 9, and the control switch via wires. In the above structure, the roller assembly 5 and drive motor 6 in the automatic tube feeding device cooperate to provide rotational power for the aluminum tube; the linear motion slide 7 drives the cleaning motor 2 to move, allowing the brush bristles 3 to penetrate deep into the aluminum tube and perform linear reciprocating motion; the combination of slide 8, baffle plate 10, ejector cylinder 9, and ejector plate realizes the orderly feeding of aluminum tubes. At the same time, the PLC controller's automated control of each component improves the working efficiency and automation level of the cleaning device, reduces manual intervention, lowers labor costs, and ensures the accuracy and stability of the cleaning process.

[0019] In this embodiment, a feeding cylinder 16 is provided on the side wall of the workbench 1. The feeding cylinder 16 is connected to one of the rollers in the roller group 5 through a roller frame. A feeding port is opened on the workbench 1. The feeding port is located below the pressing wheel 11. A material bin 18 is slidably connected to the workbench 1.

[0020] Using the above structure, the feeding cylinder 16 controls the movement of one roller in the roller assembly 5, changing the distance between the two rollers, so that the cleaned aluminum tube can automatically fall from the feeding port into the hopper 18. This design realizes an integrated process of aluminum tube cleaning and feeding, further improving work efficiency and reducing the time and intensity of manual operation.

[0021] In this embodiment, a cover 19 is provided on the slide 8.

[0022] The above structure can prevent external debris from entering the slide 8 and interfering with the downward movement of the aluminum tube, avoiding jamming or damage to the aluminum tube due to debris. It can also prevent the aluminum tube from jumping out of the slide 8 due to unexpected circumstances during the downward movement, ensuring the stability and safety of the feeding process and reducing the probability of equipment failure and accidents.

[0023] In this embodiment, the cover 19 is in the shape of a flared opening.

[0024] With the above structure, the cover 19 is flared, which optimizes the process of aluminum tubes entering the slide 8. The shape of the flared opening can expand the entry range of the aluminum tubes into the slide 8, reduce the obstruction when the aluminum tubes enter, and make the aluminum tubes fall into the slide 8 more smoothly, thus improving the efficiency and accuracy of feeding.

[0025] In this embodiment, two pressure rollers 11 are provided.

[0026] With the above structure, the aluminum tube can be pressed more stably onto the roller group 5 during the aluminum tube cleaning process, avoiding the aluminum tube from shaking or shifting.

[0027] Working principle:

[0028] The aluminum tube is placed in the slide rail 8 and slides down under gravity. The first aluminum tube is blocked by the blocking plate 10. When feeding is required, the PLC controller controls the ejector cylinder 9. The ejector plate pushes the bottom aluminum tube past the blocking plate 10. The aluminum tube moves to the roller group 5. The pressing cylinder 12 pushes the pressing wheel 11 to press down the aluminum tube. The drive motor 6 starts and drives the roller group 5 to rotate. The aluminum tube rotates accordingly. The PLC controller controls the linear motion slide 7 to drive the cleaning motor 2 to move. The brush 3 extends into the aluminum tube. The cleaning motor 2 drives the brush 3 to rotate. In coordination with the rotation of the aluminum tube, the linear motion slide 7 drives the brush 3 to move linearly back and forth to clean the waste on the inner wall of the aluminum tube. After cleaning, the PLC controller controls the feeding cylinder 16 to drive one of the rollers in the roller group 5 to move. The distance between the two rollers increases and the aluminum tube falls from the feeding port into the hopper 18.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
