Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to an automotive parts cleaning machine. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive parts are the various units that make up a car and the products that serve the car. Automotive components are independent parts that make up the overall framework and various functional systems of a car, covering multiple core areas such as power, transmission, braking, suspension, and electrical systems.
[0003] When a car is in operation, lubricating oil is needed to lubricate automotive parts such as gears and bearings.

[0034] Example 1
[0035] Reference Figures 1-4 The first embodiment of this utility model provides an automotive parts cleaning machine that can separate oil stains on the water surface to avoid secondary pollution when removing automotive parts. It includes: a cleaning unit 100, an oil separation unit 200, a moving unit 300, and a heating unit 400.
[0036] The cleaning unit 100 includes a protective box 101 and an ultrasonic generator 102 fixedly installed on one side of the protective box 101. A cleaning box 103 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective box 101. Multiple ultrasonic transducers 104 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the cleaning box 103. A storage box 105 is provided inside the cleaning box 103.
[0037] An oil-separating unit 200 is installed inside the cleaning tank 103 to separate oil stains within the cleaning tank 103.
[0038] A movable unit 300 is installed inside the cleaning tank 103, which is used to move the storage box 105.
[0039] A heating unit 400 is installed below the cleaning tank 103, and the heating unit 400 is used to heat the water in the cleaning tank 103.
[0040] Automotive parts are stored in storage box 105, and then storage box 105 is placed in cleaning tank 103 containing water. The connection wire of ultrasonic transducer 104 is electrically connected to the output terminal of ultrasonic generator 102. The function of ultrasonic generator 102 is to convert industrial frequency AC power into high frequency AC power to provide energy for ultrasonic transducer 104. Ultrasonic transducer 104 converts the high frequency electrical energy generated by ultrasonic generator 102 into mechanical vibration, which is transmitted to the cleaning fluid through the tank wall of cleaning tank 103, thereby performing ultrasonic cleaning on the parts. Multiple evenly distributed through holes are opened at the bottom of storage box 105. Impurities and dust on the surface of the parts pass downward through the through holes under the action of gravity, while grease on the surface of the parts floats upward.
[0041] The oil-separating unit 200 divides the inner cavity of the cleaning tank 103 into two, so that the oil stains are only located on one side of the oil-separating unit 200, while the liquid surface on the other side of the oil-separating unit 200 remains clear. The heating unit 400 can heat the water in the cleaning tank 103 so that the oil stains can be removed from the parts. After cleaning, the moving unit 300 moves the parts to the oil-free area on the other side of the oil-separating unit 200, thereby ensuring that the parts will not be secondary contaminated by the oil stains on the liquid surface when they are removed.
[0042] Example 2
[0043] Reference Figures 1-3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the oil-separating unit 200 includes a partition 201 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 103. A gap is left between the partition 201 and the bottom of the inner cavity of the cleaning tank 103 for the storage box 105 to pass through. An electric push rod 202 is fixedly installed on one side of the partition 201. An L-shaped plate 203 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the output end of the electric push rod 202.
[0044] The liquid level in the cleaning tank 103 exceeds the lowest point of the partition 201 but does not exceed the highest point of the partition 201. The electric push rod 202 is used to drive the L-shaped plate 203 to move up and down. During cleaning, the L-shaped plate 203 descends and contacts the bottom of the cleaning tank 103. The L-shaped plate 203 seals and blocks the gap below the partition 201, so that the partition 201 and the L-shaped plate 203 divide the space of the cleaning tank 103 into two, thereby dividing the cleaning tank 103 into a cleaning area and a retrieval area. The side closer to the partition 201 is the cleaning area, and the side closer to the electric push rod 202 is the retrieval area. At this time, the water in the two areas is not connected.
[0045] When the parts are placed into the cleaning area of the cleaning tank 103 for cleaning, the oil will float on the surface of the liquid in the cleaning area and be blocked by the partition 201, so as not to contaminate the water surface in the retrieval area. After cleaning, the electric push rod 202 will drive the L-shaped plate 203 to rise, and then the moving unit 300 will slowly push the storage box 105 to pass through the space under the partition 201 and move from the cleaning area to the retrieval area. In this way, the storage box 105 can be taken out in the retrieval area to avoid secondary contamination of the parts by the oil floating on the water surface.
[0046] Example 3
[0047] Reference Figures 1-4 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the moving unit 300 includes an electric telescopic rod 301 fixedly connected to one side of the protective box 101. The output shaft of the electric telescopic rod 301 rotates through the protective box 101 and the cleaning box 103 in sequence and is fixedly connected to a moving plate 302. The output shaft of the electric telescopic rod 301 is sealed to the cleaning box 103. Multiple evenly distributed round rods 303 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cleaning box 103. The storage box 105 slides above the round rods 303.
[0048] The multi-stage telescopic shaft of the electric telescopic rod 301 is sealed to the cleaning tank 103 by a seal. The multiple round rods 303 are divided into two groups, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the L-shaped plate 203. There is a gap between the two groups of round rods 303 to fit the L-shaped plate 203. The storage box 105 is placed on the round rods 303 so that there is a gap between the bottom of the storage box 105 and the cleaning tank 103, so that heavier impurities can pass through the through hole at the bottom of the storage box 105. When the cleaning is completed, the electric push rod 202 drives the L-shaped plate 203 to rise. Then, the electric telescopic rod 301 slowly pushes the storage box 105 to slide on the round rods 303 through the moving plate 302, so that it passes through the space under the partition 201 and moves from the cleaning area to the retrieval area to take out the storage box 105. After taking it out, the electric telescopic rod 301 pulls the moving plate 302 to reset, and the electric push rod 202 drives the L-shaped plate 203 to descend and reset.
[0049] In addition, a pressure sensor 304 is embedded in one side of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 103, and an indicator light 305 is fixedly connected to one side of the protective box 101.
[0050] The pressure sensor 304 is waterproof and located in the retrieval area. The pressure sensor 304 is a device that can sense pressure signals and convert them into usable output electrical signals according to a certain rule. When the electric telescopic rod 301 pushes the storage box 105 towards the pressure sensor 304, the storage box 105 will come into contact with the pressure sensor 304. After sensing the pressure, the pressure sensor 304 transmits the signal to the indicator light 305 through the cable and makes the indicator light 305 light up to remind the worker to take out the cleaned parts in time.
[0051] Example 4
[0052] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 This is the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the heating unit 400 includes two electric heaters 401 fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning tank 103, and a temperature sensor 402 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 103.
[0053] Two electric heaters 401 are located below the cleaning area and the retrieval area, respectively. Each electric heater 401 has a resistance wire inside and generates heat by energizing the resistance wire. The electric heaters 401 are used to heat the water in the cleaning tank 103 so that the grease is heated and quickly falls off the parts, thereby providing a cleaning effect. The temperature sensor 402 is waterproof and is a sensor that can sense temperature and convert it into a usable output signal. The temperature sensor 402 is used to detect the water temperature in the cleaning tank 103 to ensure that the water temperature in the cleaning tank 103 is maintained at a suitable temperature.
[0054] Example 5
[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 This is the fifth embodiment of the present utility model. Unlike the previous embodiment, the bottom of the cleaning box 103 is fixedly connected to a drain pipe 106. One end of the drain pipe 106 passes through the protective box 101 and is fitted with a valve.
[0056] By opening the valve of the drain pipe 106, the sewage and impurities in the cleaning tank 103 can be discharged through the drain pipe 106, and then the inside of the cleaning tank 103 is rinsed to ensure the cleanliness of the cleaning tank 103.
[0057] One side of the cleaning box 103 is fixedly connected to an overflow pipe 107, and one end of the overflow pipe 107 passes through the protective box 101.
[0058] The overflow pipe 107 can be connected to an external water pipe to collect excess water in the cleaning tank 103. The height of the overflow pipe 107 is the height of the bottom partition 201. When the storage box 105 and parts are placed in the cleaning tank 103, the water level in the cleaning tank 103 rises. The excess water is discharged through the overflow pipe 107, thereby preventing the water from overflowing to the other side of the partition 201 and contaminating the water surface of the storage area.
[0059] In addition, the inner wall of the storage box 105 is provided with multiple sliding grooves, and a limiting plate 108 is slidably provided in some of the sliding grooves of the storage box 105.
[0060] By sliding multiple limiting plates 108 into the grooves of the storage box 105, the interior of the storage box 105 is divided into different spaces, which makes it easier to separate parts of different types and sizes and place them in their corresponding spaces. This helps to avoid mixing different types of parts together when taking out the parts.
[0061] During use, multiple limiting plates 108 are slidably inserted into the grooves of the storage box 105. Then, the limiting plates 108 are used to classify and place the car parts in the storage box 105. The storage box 105 is then placed into the water-filled cleaning tank 103, with the storage box 105 positioned on the side of the partition 201 away from the electric push rod 202. Next, the ultrasonic generator 102 and the ultrasonic transducer 104 are used to perform ultrasonic cleaning on the parts. Heavier impurities on the surface of the parts pass through the through holes at the bottom of the storage box 105 under the action of gravity, while the grease on the surface of the parts floats upward. Then, the water in the cleaning tank 103 is heated by two electric heaters 401 so that the grease can be quickly removed from the surface of the parts.
[0062] After cleaning, the electric push rod 202 drives the L-shaped plate 203 to rise. Then, the electric telescopic rod 301 slowly pushes the storage box 105 through the moving plate 302, allowing it to pass through the space under the partition 201 and move towards the pressure sensor 304. When the storage box 105 contacts the pressure sensor 304, the indicator light 305 lights up, reminding the worker to remove the cleaned parts in time. After removal, the indicator light 305 goes out, the electric telescopic rod 301 pulls the moving plate 302 to reset, and the electric push rod 202 drives the L-shaped plate 203 to descend and reset. Then, the parts can be placed back into the storage box 105, and the above operation is repeated to clean the parts. When the water in the cleaning tank 103 is heavily polluted, the wastewater in the cleaning tank 103 is discharged through the drain pipe 106. Then, the inside of the cleaning tank 103 is rinsed to ensure the cleanliness of the cleaning tank 103.
[0063] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
