[0030] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 7 This invention describes a steel ball output cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the steel ball output cleaning device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a tray mechanism for holding steel balls to be cleaned, a cleaning mechanism for cleaning the steel balls to be cleaned, and a connecting component for connecting the tray mechanism and the cleaning mechanism. The cleaning mechanism includes a first cleaning tray 210, a second cleaning tray 220, and a rotation drive device capable of driving the first cleaning tray 210 and the second cleaning tray 220 to rotate relative to each other. The first cleaning tray 210 is provided with a first cleaning section 211, and the second cleaning tray 220 is provided with a second cleaning section 221 corresponding to the first cleaning section 211. The first cleaning section 211 and / or the second cleaning section 221 are elastic bodies. Part 221 is provided with a spiral groove 222 distributed from the outside to the inside. The middle part of the second cleaning disc 220 is provided with a steel ball output port. The steel ball to be cleaned enters the cleaning mechanism through the connecting assembly and enters between the first cleaning part 211 and the second cleaning part 221. When the first cleaning disc 210 and the second cleaning disc 220 rotate relative to each other, the steel ball can be guided from the outside to the inside to the steel ball output port through the spiral groove. During the rolling of the steel ball in the spiral groove 222, the first cleaning part 211 and / or the second cleaning part 221 can clean the surface of the steel ball. Since the first cleaning part 211 and / or the second cleaning part 221 are elastic bodies, they can elastically squeeze the steel ball, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the steel ball.

[0032] Specifically, the spiral groove 222 has a spiral structure (mosquito coil-like structure) distributed from the outside to the inside. When the first cleaning disc 210 and the second cleaning disc 220 rotate relative to each other, the steel ball can roll along the spiral groove 222 and gradually roll to the steel ball output port in the middle of the second cleaning disc 220. The steel ball is cleaned by using this rolling process, which can clean various positions on the surface of the steel ball and achieve a better cleaning effect.

[0033] In some embodiments of this utility model, a cleaning fluid is added between the first cleaning section 211 and the second cleaning section 221 to improve the cleaning effect on the steel balls.

[0034] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first cleaning disc 210 is set to be stationary relative to the frame to facilitate receiving steel balls, and the rotation drive device drives the second cleaning disc 220 to rotate, so as to realize the relative rotation of the first cleaning disc 210 and the second cleaning disc 220.

[0035] Specifically, the rotation drive device can be a geared disc mechanism driven by an electric motor, or a rotation motor mechanism with an integrated reducer.

[0036] In some embodiments of this invention, the elastomer is a sponge, which not only has a better washing effect but also reduces damage to the surface of the steel ball.

[0037] Specifically, both the first cleaning disc 210 and the second cleaning disc 220 are sponges. Of course, in the specific implementation process, the elastomer can also be flexible silicone, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0038] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the second cleaning part 221 is provided with a spiral groove 222, and the first cleaning part 211 is provided with a spiral protrusion 212 corresponding to the spiral groove 222 and capable of being placed into the spiral groove 222. After the steel ball is fed into the cleaning mechanism, it falls into the spiral groove 222. After the first cleaning disc 210 and the second cleaning disc 220 rotate relative to each other, the steel ball enters between the spiral groove 222 and the spiral protrusion 212 and is squeezed by the spiral protrusion 212. The relative rotation of the first cleaning disc 210 and the second cleaning disc 220 guides the steel ball to spirally roll from the outside to the inside along the spiral groove 222, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect.

[0039] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the cross-section of the spiral groove 222 is V-shaped, and the cross-section of the spiral protrusion 212 is V-shaped to match the cross-section of the spiral groove 222. After the steel ball is fed into the cleaning mechanism, it falls into the bottom of the V-shape of the spiral groove 222. When the first cleaning disc 210 and the second cleaning disc 220 rotate relative to each other, the steel ball is pressed by the V-shaped tip of the spiral protrusion 212, thereby driving the steel ball to roll and washing the surface of the steel ball.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the cross-section of the spiral groove 222 is V-shaped and its tip forms an included angle α, and the cross-section of the spiral protrusion 212 is V-shaped and its tip forms an included angle β. The included angle α is greater than the included angle β, so that a gap is formed between the spiral groove 222 and the spiral protrusion 212, and the gap becomes smaller as the depth of the spiral groove 222 increases (the gap gradually narrows from top to bottom), which can better guide the cleaning fluid into the surface of the steel ball and achieve a better cleaning effect.

[0041] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, there is a gap between the swirling groove 222 and the swirling protrusion 212 to facilitate the inflow of cleaning fluid and to reserve space for deformation of the swirling protrusion 212 after being compressed, so as to avoid excessive compression between the swirling protrusion 212 and the swirling groove 222 and excessive wear, thus extending the replacement cycle.

[0042] It is conceivable that in some embodiments of this utility model, only the second cleaning section 221 may be provided with a spiral groove 222, and the first cleaning section 211 may be provided with a planar structure. When the steel ball falls into the spiral groove 222, the upper part of the steel ball is higher than the upper edge of the spiral groove 222. The first cleaning section 211 can press against the upper part of the steel ball, thereby causing the first cleaning disc 210 and the second cleaning disc 220 to rotate relative to each other and guide the steel ball to spirally roll from the outside to the inside along the spiral groove 222.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first cleaning part 211 is detachably installed on the first cleaning tray 210, and the second cleaning part 221 is detachably installed on the second cleaning tray 220, so as to facilitate the replacement of the worn first cleaning part 211 and the second cleaning part 221.

[0044] Specifically, the first cleaning unit 211 and the second cleaning unit 221 can be detachably installed onto the first cleaning tray 210 and the second cleaning tray 220 by means of Velcro, adhesive, clamping and fixing.

[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, both the first cleaning disc 210 and the second cleaning disc 220 are disc structures, the first cleaning part 211 is disposed on the lower end surface of the first cleaning disc 210, and the second cleaning part 221 is disposed on the upper end surface of the second cleaning disc 220.

[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the spiral protrusions 212 on the lower end face of the first cleaning disc 210 are spirally distributed, and the outer edge of the first cleaning disc 210 is provided with a notch to form a feed port 213 that can hold steel balls. The upper end face of the second cleaning disc 220 forms a spiral spiral groove 222 (not shown in the figure).

[0047] like Figure 5 , Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the lower end of the first cleaning disc 210 is a frustum structure or a cone structure that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. The upper end of the second cleaning disc 220 is recessed and provided with a matching groove (not shown in the figure) corresponding to the lower end of the first cleaning disc 210. The first cleaning part 211 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the frustum structure or the cone structure, and the second cleaning part 221 is provided on the groove wall of the matching groove, so that the spiral groove 222 extends inward and downward in a spiral. By setting the first cleaning disc 210 and the second cleaning disc 220 as a mutually convex conical frustum structure that bulges downward, not only can the extension length of the spiral groove 222 be increased, but also the steel ball can be used to make the steel ball roll smoothly from top to bottom and from outside to inside from the spiral groove 222 using its own weight, and finally be sent out from the output port in the middle of the lower end of the second cleaning disc 220.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting component includes a connecting channel 310, the side wall of the material tray mechanism is provided with an output port that docks with the connecting channel 310, and the first cleaning tray 210 is provided with an inlet 213 that docks with the connecting channel 310, so that the steel balls of the material tray mechanism can be automatically conveyed to the inlet 213 of the first cleaning tray 210.

[0049] Specifically, the material tray mechanism is set higher than the cleaning mechanism so that the output port of the material tray mechanism is higher than the inlet 213 of the first cleaning tray 210, so that the steel balls can automatically roll down to the cleaning mechanism.

[0050] It is understood that in some embodiments of this utility model, the connecting component may also be a picking robot, which is equipped with a hopper to hold and transfer steel balls.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the material tray mechanism includes a material tray 110, the material tray 110 is provided with an annular material channel 111, the material channel 111 is configured with a baffle plate 120 corresponding to the output port, the baffle plate 120 can partially or completely cut off the material channel 111 and guide the steel balls in the material channel 111 to be sent out from the output port, thereby realizing the active conveying of the steel balls.

[0052] Specifically, the bottom of the material tray 110 is rotatable and equipped with a rotation drive unit, so that the steel balls flow in the annular channel of the material tray 110, and the steel balls can be automatically blocked by the baffle plate 120 and guided to be sent out from the output port.

[0053] like Figure 1 , Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the steel ball output cleaning device further includes a spraying device. The spraying device includes a discharge channel 410 inclinedly arranged below the steel ball output port and a spray pipe assembly 420 arranged above the discharge channel 410 and capable of spraying cleaning liquid. The bottom of the discharge channel 410 is a mesh plate or a perforated plate to clean the steel ball a second time and further improve the cleaning effect.

[0054] Specifically, the spray pipe assembly 420 is equipped with multiple spray heads located above the discharge channel 410 to spray cleaning fluid.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the steel ball output cleaning device further includes a cleaning liquid circulation filtration system 500. The cleaning liquid circulation filtration system 500 is equipped with a circulation pump and a filter assembly. The cleaning liquid circulation filtration system 500 can recover the cleaning liquid from the spraying device and / or cleaning mechanism, and after filtration, it is transported to the spraying device and / or cleaning mechanism, thereby reducing the waste of cleaning liquid and lowering costs.

[0056] Of course, this invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments.
