Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brake disc air duct cleaning technology, specifically, to a brake disc air duct foreign object cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Disc brake discs, as a core component of automotive braking systems, are mainly divided into two types: solid discs and ducted discs. Among them, ducted discs, with their innovative structural design, feature a series of holes carefully arranged around their circumference leading to the center. These holes form air ducts, giving the brake disc a unique ventilation function. During vehicle operation, air can flow smoothly along these air ducts, quickly carrying away the large amount of heat generated by the brake disc during braking, achieving efficient heat dissipation and significantly improving the braking performance and lifespan of the brake disc.

[0003] However, in the actual production process of brake disc air ducts, impurities such as iron filings and oil mist easily remain inside the air ducts. During equipment operation, these impurities gradually accumulate inside the equipment. This accumulation can severely impact the production equipment, not only causing leaks but also leading to frequent spindle jams. Repairing the equipment after a malfunction is cumbersome and complex. Furthermore, to ensure the normal operation of the production equipment, regular manual cleaning is necessary, which significantly increases the workload, reduces production line uptime, and severely impacts production efficiency.

[0033] See Figure 1 This embodiment provides a brake disc air duct foreign object cleaning device, which includes a machine base 100, a clamping mechanism 200, a cleaning mechanism 300, and a collection mechanism 400. The clamping mechanism 200 is used to clamp the brake disc, the cleaning mechanism 300 is used to clean the brake disc, and the collection mechanism 400 is used to collect the waste liquid discharged during cleaning. Through the coordinated operation of these mechanisms, the problem of cleaning foreign objects from the brake disc air duct can be effectively solved, improving production efficiency and reducing personnel workload.

[0034] Referring to the figure, the machine 100 has a cleaning chamber 110 and a discharge channel 120. The cleaning chamber 110 is used to accommodate the brake discs to be cleaned and to perform foreign object removal operations. The inlet of the discharge channel 120 is connected to the cleaning chamber 110, allowing for the timely discharge of waste liquid generated during the cleaning process. Furthermore, the machine 100 adopts a double-layer sealing design, which effectively prevents liquid leakage during the cleaning process, avoiding equipment damage and environmental pollution caused by liquid leakage, fundamentally solving the problem of oil leakage and ensuring the safety and stability of equipment operation. Further, the machine 100 is equipped with a door 150 consisting of a door frame and glass at the location corresponding to the cleaning chamber 110. Operators can observe the working conditions inside the cleaning chamber 110 at any time through the door 150, promptly identifying and handling any abnormalities. A channel door 160 is provided on the discharge channel 120, facilitating regular cleaning and maintenance by staff to prevent blockage due to impurities. Preferably, the cleaning chamber 110 is also equipped with a guide plate 130, which is inclined towards the liquid inlet end of the drainage channel. This design can guide the waste liquid in the cleaning chamber 110 to flow quickly and smoothly into the discharge channel 120, avoiding the accumulation of waste liquid in the cleaning chamber 110 and improving cleaning efficiency. In addition, a pair of photoelectric sensors are provided on the inner wall of the cleaning chamber 110 as a detection component 140 to detect in real time whether there is a workpiece on the clamping member 210. When the operator places the brake disc on the clamping member 210, the detection component 140 detects the presence of the workpiece, sends a signal to the control system, and the device enters the working preparation state.

[0035] See Figures 2 to 4The clamping mechanism 200 includes a clamping member 210 and a drive assembly 220. The drive assembly 220 is disposed inside the machine base 100, while the clamping member 210 is installed inside the cleaning chamber 110 and connected to the output end of the drive assembly 220. Specifically, the drive assembly 220 includes a drive member 221 and a transmission member 222. The drive member 221 is installed at the top of the mounting position 180 of the machine base 100, and the transmission member 222 is installed at the bottom of the cleaning chamber 110. The output end of the drive member 221 is connected to the input end of the transmission member 222, and the output end of the transmission member 222 is connected to the main body of the clamping member 210. This connection method enables the drive member 221 to transmit power to the clamping member 210. The transmission component 222 passes through the opening of the guide plate 130, and a waterproof cover 170 is provided on the opening. One end of the waterproof cover 170 is connected to the air inlet sleeve of the clamping component 210, and the other end is sleeved on the opening of the guide plate 130. This effectively prevents liquid from seeping into the transmission component 222, protecting its normal operation and extending the service life of the equipment. The air inlet sleeve of the clamping component 210 is fixed to the fixing block on the inner wall of the cleaning chamber 110 by a stud to prevent the transmission component 222 from rotating during operation and to ensure the accuracy of power transmission. Preferably, the clamping component 210 adopts a three-jaw chuck, which can stably and reliably clamp the brake disc. The drive component 221 uses a three-phase motor to provide stable power output for the entire clamping mechanism 200. The transmission component 222 adopts a plum blossom-shaped coupling, which has good shock absorption performance and the ability to compensate for the relative displacement of the two shafts, effectively avoiding transmission failure caused by installation errors or equipment vibration.

[0036] See Figures 2 to 4The cleaning mechanism 300 includes a liquid spraying assembly 310 and an air outlet assembly 320. The liquid spraying assembly 310 specifically includes a main liquid spraying pipe 311 and multiple branch liquid spraying pipes 312. The main liquid spraying pipe 311 has one inlet and multiple outlets. Its inlet is connected to the output end of a high-pressure liquid source, and the multiple outlets are connected to the inlets of the multiple branch liquid spraying pipes 312. The outlets of the branch liquid spraying pipes 312 face the clamping member 210. Valves are installed on the pipelines connecting the outlet of the main liquid spraying pipe 311 and the inlets of the branch liquid spraying pipes 312. By controlling the opening and closing of the valves and their opening degree, the liquid flow rate can be precisely adjusted to meet the needs of different cleaning conditions. Preferably, the spraying assembly 310 is configured as two sets, arranged vertically. The structures of the two sets of spraying assemblies 310 can be the same or different. One set of spraying assemblies 310 mainly acts on the surface of the brake disc and the air duct, using high-pressure, high-speed sprayed cleaning fluid to impact iron filings, oil mist, and other foreign objects on the brake disc fan blades. Combined with the rotation of the brake disc, it achieves efficient cleaning of foreign objects in the brake disc air duct. The other set of spraying assemblies 310 mainly acts on the bottom of the cleaning chamber 110, cleaning the foreign objects remaining at the bottom of the cleaning chamber 110, thereby achieving all-round cleaning of the brake disc and the cleaning chamber 110. The air outlet assembly 320 includes a main air outlet 321 and multiple branch air outlets 322. The main air outlet 321 has one air inlet and multiple air outlets. The air inlet is connected to the output end of the high-pressure air source. The multiple air outlets are connected to the air inlets of the multiple branch air outlets 322 one by one. The air outlets of the branch air outlets 322 face the clamping member 210. Furthermore, there are also two sets of air outlet components 320, which are symmetrically arranged on the horizontal plane. The two sets have the same structure and can blow air onto the surface of the brake disc at the same time, quickly and effectively drying the water droplets remaining on the surface of the brake disc, thereby improving the cleaning quality and production efficiency of the brake disc.

[0037] See Figures 1 to 3 The collection mechanism 400 consists of a chip collection hopper 410 and a liquid receiving tank 420. In practical applications, the chip collection hopper 410 is positioned above the liquid receiving tank 420, with the outlet of the discharge channel 120 facing the open end of the chip collection hopper 410 and the drain of the chip collection hopper 410 facing the liquid receiving tank 420. A filter screen 411 is installed at the drain. During the cleaning process, the waste liquid in the cleaning chamber 110 is guided by the guide plate 130 and flows into the chip collection hopper 410 through the discharge channel 120. The filter screen 411 in the chip collection hopper 410 effectively intercepts solid impurities such as iron filings. The remaining waste liquid flows into the liquid receiving tank 420 for collection through the drain. The collection and separation of the discharged liquid is achieved through physical sedimentation, effectively solving the problem of iron filings accumulation, reducing the frequency and workload of manual cleaning, lowering the personnel load, and also improving the production line operating rate, ensuring the continuity and stability of production.

[0038] The specific working process of the brake disc air duct foreign object cleaning device is as follows: First, the operator places the brake disc on the clamping member 210. At this time, the detection component 140 detects the presence of the workpiece and sends a signal to the control system, and the device enters the working preparation state. Next, the drive component 221 starts, driving the clamping member 210 to rotate the brake disc through the transmission component 222. At the same time, two sets of spraying components 310 connected to the high-pressure liquid source start working. One set of spraying components 310 mainly acts on the surface of the brake disc and the air duct, using high-pressure, high-speed sprayed cleaning fluid to impact the iron filings, oil mist, and other foreign objects on the brake disc fan blades. The other set of spraying components 310 cleans the bottom of the cleaning chamber 110. Combined with the centrifugal force generated by the high-speed rotation of the brake disc, the foreign objects are thrown out of the air duct, achieving the initial cleaning of foreign objects in the brake disc air duct. After the preset cleaning time is reached, the spraying assembly 310 stops spraying liquid, and then the two symmetrically arranged air outlet assemblies 320 are activated. The main air outlet 321, connected to the high-pressure air source, blows air onto the brake disc surface through the air outlet branch pipe 322 to dry the water droplets remaining on the brake disc surface, completing the cleaning work of the brake disc. During the entire cleaning process, the waste liquid in the cleaning chamber 110 is guided by the guide plate 130 and flows into the chip collection hopper 410 through the discharge channel 120. The filter screen 411 in the chip collection hopper 410 filters and intercepts iron filings, and the remaining waste liquid flows into the liquid collection tank 420 for collection, realizing the effective separation and treatment of waste liquid and iron filings.

[0039] In summary, this utility model's brake disc air duct foreign object cleaning device, through the rational design and coordinated operation of its various mechanisms, features a cleaning chamber and a discharge channel. The cleaning chamber provides space for cleaning the brake disc, while the discharge channel's inlet connects to the cleaning chamber, allowing for timely discharge of waste liquid generated during cleaning. The clamping mechanism's clamping components are positioned within the cleaning chamber, securely holding the brake disc and ensuring its stable position during cleaning. The spraying component of the cleaning mechanism, with its outlet facing the clamping components, effectively flushes away iron filings, oil mist, and other foreign objects from the air duct by spraying cleaning fluid onto the brake disc. The collection mechanism, connected to the discharge channel's outlet, collects the waste liquid and impurities generated during cleaning. This achieves highly efficient cleaning of foreign objects from the brake disc air duct, avoiding equipment malfunctions caused by residual impurities. It eliminates the need for frequent manual cleaning, significantly reducing personnel workload; simultaneously, it reduces equipment downtime due to malfunctions, effectively increasing production line uptime and thus improving production efficiency.
