[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of the automated cleaning equipment for precision alloy castings provided by this utility model; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the internal structure. Figure 3 for Figure 1 The front sectional view shown is shown below;

[0023] Figure 4 for Figure 3 The enlarged schematic diagram of part A shown below; Figure 5 for Figure 3 The enlarged schematic diagram of section B is shown below; Figure 6 for Figure 3 The diagram shows an enlarged view of section C. The automated cleaning equipment for precision alloy castings includes: a workbench 1, an operating box 11 fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 1, symmetrically arranged doors 12 on the front of the operating box 11, a drive assembly 13 inside the workbench 1, a clamping assembly 14 on the top of the drive assembly 13, a flexible assembly 2 inside the workbench 1, a deburring assembly 3 on the top of the flexible assembly 2, an elastic adjustment assembly 4 for controlling the deburring force on the left side of the workbench 1, and a smoothing guide assembly 5 on the left side of the inner wall of the operating box 11.

[0024] The flexible component 2 includes a displacement groove 21, which is formed on the top of the workbench 1. A sliding member 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the displacement groove 21. An elastic element 23 is provided on the outer surface of the sliding member 22. A displacement block 24 is slidably connected inside the displacement groove 21. The interior of the displacement block 24 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the sliding member 22.

[0025] The displacement groove 21 is opened on the top of the workbench 1 and runs through the workbench 1 to facilitate the discharge of dirt. The sliding member 22 fixed on its inner wall provides a sliding track for the displacement block 24. The elastic element 23 set on the outer surface of the sliding member 22 can realize the buffering function. The displacement block 24 slides along the sliding member 22 in the displacement groove 21, thus forming a structure with buffering and dirt discharge functions, which provides effective protection for dealing with the hardness difference of the casting during the burr cleaning process of precision alloy casting.

[0026] The deburring assembly 3 includes a support base 31, which is mounted on the top of the displacement block 24. A motor 32 is fixedly connected to the top of the support base 31, and a threaded screw 33 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 32. A bracket 34 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the support base 31, and a round rod 35 is fixedly connected to the top of the bracket 34. A mounting block 36 is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded screw 33, and the inside of the mounting block 36 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the round rod 35. A U-shaped deburring block 37 is fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting block 36. A top plate 38 is fixedly connected to the top of the round rod 35, and a round sleeve 39 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate 38. The inside of the round sleeve 39 is rotatably connected to the top end of the threaded screw 33.

[0027] The support base 31 is installed on top of the displacement block 24 as a basic support. The output end of the motor 32 is connected to the threaded screw 33, which cooperates with the symmetrically arranged bracket 34 and round rod 35. The motor 32 drives the threaded screw 33 to rotate by rotating forward and reverse, so that the threaded mounting block 36 slides along the round rod 35, thereby driving the U-shaped deburring block 37 fixed on its outside to move to the designated position to remove the external burrs of the precision alloy casting on the clamping assembly 14. The motor 32 can also continuously rotate forward and reverse to achieve reciprocating cleaning of the U-shaped deburring block 37 on the surface of the casting. At the same time, the top plate 38, the round rod 35 and the round sleeve 39 form a stable limiting and guiding structure to ensure the stability and accuracy of the movement of the mounting block 36.

[0028] The elastic adjustment component 4 includes a long groove 41, a semi-circular push block 42, and a threaded hole 43. The long groove 41 is symmetrically opened on the top of the workbench 1. A connecting block 44 is slidably connected inside the long groove 41. The outer surface of the semi-circular push block 42 is slidably connected to the inside of the displacement groove 21. The outside of the semi-circular push block 42 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the round rod 35. The outside of the semi-circular push block 42 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting block 44. The threaded hole 43 is opened on the left side of the operating box 11. A screw 45 is threadedly connected inside the threaded hole 43. The screw 45 passes through the threaded hole 43 and extends to its outside. A handle block 46 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 45. A limiting block 47 is fixedly connected to the other end of the screw 45. The outer surface of the screw 45 is rotatably connected to the inside of the semi-circular push block 42. A limiting ring 48 is fixedly connected to the outside of the screw 45.

[0029] The long slot 41 is symmetrically opened on the top of the workbench 1. The connecting block 44 inside it is slidable. The outer surface of the semi-circular push block 42 is slidably connected to the displacement slot 21 and the round rod 35 respectively, and is fixed to the connecting block 44. The semi-circular push block 42 is outside the screw 45, and the semi-circular push block 42 is between the limiting ring 48 and the limiting block 47. The outer surface of the screw 45 is rotatably connected to the inside of the semi-circular push block 42. The threaded hole 43 on the left side of the operating box 11 is threadedly connected to the screw 45. The screw 45 passes through the threaded hole 43 and extends to the outside. The screw handle block 46 at one end makes it convenient for the operator to rotate the screw 45, and the limiting block 47 at the other end prevents the screw 45 from moving excessively. When the screw 45 is rotated, the screw 45 rotates. Since it is rotatably connected to the semi-circular push block 42, it can drive the semi-circular push block 42 to slide in the long groove 41, thereby squeezing the elastic element 23 on the round rod 35, causing the displacement block 24 to be displaced by force, realizing elastic adjustment, and providing a suitable buffer force for burr cleaning of precision alloy castings with different hardness.

[0030] The smooth guide assembly 5 includes a support plate 51, which is installed on the left side of the inner wall of the operating box 11. A long slider 52 for guiding is fixedly connected to the outside of the support plate 51. A fixing block 53 is slidably connected inside the long slider 52. The bottom of the fixing block 53 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 38. Triangular blocks 54 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the support plate 51. The outside of the triangular blocks 54 is fixedly connected to the outside of the long slider 52.

[0031] The support plate 51 is installed on the left side of the inner wall of the operating box 11, providing a support base for the entire assembly. The long slider 52 on the outside is slidably engaged with the fixing block 53, and the bottom of the fixing block 53 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 38. This structure allows the top plate 38 to move linearly along the guide direction of the long slider 52 when it is subjected to the force generated by the rotation of the threaded screw 33 driven by the motor 32, which drives the installation block 36 and the U-shaped deburring block 37 to move, thus avoiding deviation or shaking due to uneven force. Meanwhile, the triangular blocks 54 symmetrically installed on both sides of the support plate 51 are externally fixedly connected to the long slider 52. Through the mechanical properties of the triangular structure, the deformation resistance of the long slider 52 in the horizontal and vertical directions is enhanced, effectively dispersing the pressure and lateral force generated by the top plate 38 and related components on the long slider 52 during the movement. This further ensures the stability and guidance of the movement of components such as the top plate 38, round rod 35, and mounting block 36 during the operation of the burr removal assembly 3, ensuring that the U-shaped burr removal block 37 can accurately and stably perform burr removal operations on precision alloy castings.

[0032] The operating housing 11 is equipped with a liquid spraying assembly 6. The liquid spraying assembly 6 includes a fixing sleeve 61. An L-shaped liquid pipe 62 is installed inside the fixing sleeve 61. Several nozzles 63 for spraying coolant are equidistantly arranged on the outer surface of the L-shaped liquid pipe 62. A liquid delivery pipe 64 is fixedly connected to the outside of the L-shaped liquid pipe 62. The liquid delivery pipe 64 passes through the operating housing 11 and extends to its outside.

[0033] A fixing sleeve 61 is used to house the L-shaped liquid pipe 62, ensuring its stable position. Several nozzles 63, evenly distributed on the outer surface of the L-shaped liquid pipe 62, can evenly spray coolant. A delivery pipe 64 connects to the L-shaped liquid pipe 62 and extends through the operating housing 11 to the outside, allowing coolant to be introduced from the outside into the L-shaped liquid pipe 62, and then sprayed onto the casting being cleaned through the nozzles 63. This serves to cool, lubricate, and flush away debris, ensuring smooth cleaning operations and improving cleaning efficiency and casting quality.

[0034] The working principle of the automated cleaning equipment for precision alloy castings provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the precision alloy casting is placed inside the clamping assembly 14, and the drive assembly 13 is started to rotate the precision alloy casting inside the clamping assembly 14. Simultaneously, the operator can observe the internal situation through the viewing window on the front door 12 of the operating box 11, and close the door 12 if necessary to ensure the safety and sealing of the cleaning process. Then, the flexible assembly 2 pushes the deburring assembly 3 close to the precision alloy casting inside the clamping assembly 14 to begin the deburring operation. As the drive assembly 13 continuously rotates the casting, the elastic adjustment assembly 4 can flexibly adjust the buffering force of the flexible assembly 2 according to the material of the precision alloy casting inside the clamping assembly 14, allowing the deburring assembly 3 to contact the casting with appropriate force for better deburring. Finally, the stable guide assembly 5 provides stable guidance for the deburring assembly 3, ensuring its stability during movement, avoiding deviation and shaking, and guaranteeing the accuracy and efficiency of the cleaning work.

[0035] Compared with related technologies, the automated cleaning equipment for precision alloy castings provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0036] This utility model provides an automated cleaning device for precision alloy castings. The workbench 1 serves as the core basic component, providing a stable mounting surface for the operating box 11. The door 12 on the front of the operating box 11 facilitates observation and maintenance, and its internal space accommodates the stable guide component 5 to ensure cleaning accuracy. The drive component 13 inside the workbench 1 rotates, driving the clamping component 14 at the top, which is responsible for clamping the casting and ensuring its stability during the cleaning process.

The elastic adjustment component 4 on the left side of the workbench 1 can flexibly control the burr removal force.
