Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle parts technology, and in particular to an end cap container cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of the electric vehicle industry, the demand for end caps, as key components, is increasing daily. During production, use, and maintenance, the surface of end caps is easily contaminated with various dirt, grease, and impurities, severely affecting their performance and subsequent assembly. Therefore, regular and efficient cleaning is crucial. However, existing cleaning methods are gradually revealing many drawbacks when faced with large-scale batch cleaning tasks, making it difficult to meet the needs of the rapidly developing electric vehicle industry. The efficiency of batch cleaning has become a key bottleneck restricting the end cap cleaning process.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application number 202420614510.7 discloses a cleaning device for the end caps of a new energy vehicle motor. This device adopts a single-tank rinsing method, which can only clean a small number of end caps placed on the placement plate at a time. It cannot achieve large-scale batch cleaning and is difficult to meet the high-efficiency cleaning needs in large-scale production or maintenance scenarios. Moreover, relying solely on high-pressure water pump rinsing may not be effective in cleaning stubborn dirt on the surface of the end caps. Furthermore, the cleaning process lacks automated control and optimization, which limits the cleaning efficiency and quality and seriously affects the overall production progress.

[0004] Similarly, Chinese patent application number 202220528973.2 discloses a cleaning and drying device for aluminum cap production. This device mainly uses a mesh frame to hold the aluminum caps and achieves basic cleaning and drying functions through a mechanical structure, but it does not mention the capacity of the mesh frame or whether it can achieve large-scale batch cleaning. Although it can meet the cleaning needs of small-scale operations, its batch processing capacity is clearly insufficient for large-scale production scenarios, resulting in low cleaning efficiency and affecting production progress. While it improves the automation level of cleaning to some extent, it still has shortcomings in batch processing capacity.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a brand-new end cap container cleaning device. This device enables large-scale batch cleaning of end caps. The solution adopts a containerized cleaning method, which can accommodate a large number of end caps at one time, greatly increasing the number of end caps that can be cleaned each time. At the same time, the cleaning process has been optimized, reducing the transfer time of end caps between various processes and improving the continuity of cleaning. It can effectively solve the problem of batch cleaning efficiency in existing cleaning methods and provide an efficient and feasible solution for the electric vehicle end cap cleaning industry.

[0038] The technical solution of this utility model will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model provides an end cap container cleaning device, comprising:

[0040] The container rack 10 includes a shelf 11 and a container cage 12 for housing the shelf 11. The shelf 11 is provided with multiple fixed rods 111 for inserting end caps. The container cage 12 is provided with a lifting grab 121 on one side.

[0041] The flipping device 20 includes a flipping base 21 and a flipping platform 22 rotatably connected to the flipping base 21. The flipping platform 22 includes a first receiving part 221 and a second receiving part 222 that are perpendicular to each other. A flipping drive device 224 is provided in the flipping base 21 and the flipping platform 22.

[0042] The functional cleaning tank 30 includes an ultrasonic cleaning tank 31, a first cold water tank 32, a second cold water tank 33, a hot water tank 34, and a rust-preventive liquid tank 35 arranged in sequence. The ultrasonic cleaning tank 31 includes an ultrasonic generator 311 and a first heating element 312 disposed in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 31, and a second heating element 341 is disposed in the hot water tank 34.

[0043] The lifting device 40 lifts the container rack 10 from the tilting device 20 to the functional cleaning tank 30.

[0044] Specifically, the ultrasonic cleaning tank 31 is equipped with an ultrasonic generator 311 and a first heating element 312. The ultrasonic generator 311 uses a high-frequency ultrasonic generator, which can generate high-frequency vibration waves to induce cavitation in the cleaning fluid, thereby effectively removing oil, impurities, and other contaminants from the end cap surface. The first heating element 312 uses an electric heating tube, which can precisely control the temperature of the cleaning fluid according to the cleaning requirements, generally between 40-60°C, to improve the cleaning effect. In some embodiments (not shown in the figure), a drain port is provided at the bottom of the ultrasonic cleaning tank to periodically discharge dirt and impurities generated during the cleaning process.

[0045] In this embodiment, the main function of the first cold water tank 32 and the second cold water tank 33 is to provide preliminary cooling and further cleaning of the end caps after ultrasonic cleaning.

The width and depth of the overflow tanks 36 are designed according to the flow rate and level difference of the cleaning fluid to ensure that the cleaning fluid can flow smoothly into the overflow tanks 36 when the liquid level in adjacent cleaning tanks is too high. The bottom of the overflow tanks 36 is connected to a waste liquid receiving chamber 361, which adopts a sealed structure to prevent waste liquid leakage. The waste liquid receiving chamber 361 is connected to a waste liquid outlet pipe 362 to discharge the waste liquid to a dedicated waste liquid treatment device for treatment, avoiding environmental pollution.

[0050] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, water injection pipes 301 are provided in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 31, the first cold water tank 32, the second cold water tank 33, the hot water tank 34, and the rust-preventing liquid tank 35.

[0051] Specifically, water injection pipes 301 are provided in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 31, the first cold water tank 32, the second cold water tank 33, the hot water tank 34, and the rust-preventive liquid tank 35. The water injection pipes 301 are made of corrosion-resistant plastic or metal, with one end connected to a water source and the other end extending into the cleaning tank. In some embodiments (not shown in the figures), the water injection pipes are equipped with a flow control valve and a solenoid valve, which can precisely control the water volume and injection time according to cleaning needs, ensuring that the liquid level in the cleaning tank is always maintained within a suitable range.

[0052] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in this embodiment, the functional cleaning tank 30 includes a cleaning base 302 and a main outer frame edge 303 fixedly connected to the cleaning base 302. Multiple inner partitions 304 fixedly connected to the cleaning base 302 and the main outer frame edge 303 are provided in the main outer frame edge 303. The functional cleaning tank 30 forms an ultrasonic cleaning tank 31, a first cold water tank 32, a second cold water tank 33, a hot water tank 34, a rust-preventive liquid tank 35, and multiple overflow tanks 36 through the cleaning base 302, the main outer frame edge 303 and the inner partitions 304. The height of the inner partitions 304 is lower than the height of the main outer frame edge 303.

[0053] In this embodiment, the cleaning base 302 provides basic support for the entire functional cleaning tank 30, and adopts a concrete casting or metal frame plus metal plate structure to ensure sufficient strength and stability. The surface of the base is waterproofed to prevent cleaning fluid leakage.

[0054] In this embodiment, the main outer frame edge 303 is fixedly connected to the cleaning base 302 and is made of high-strength metal sheet. It surrounds the cleaning tank, serving as a barrier and providing protection. The height of the main outer frame edge 303 is designed according to the maximum liquid level of the cleaning fluid and safety protection requirements to ensure that the cleaning fluid will not overflow during the cleaning process.

[0055] In this embodiment, multiple inner partitions 304 are fixedly connected between the cleaning base 302 and the main outer frame edge 303, dividing the functional cleaning tank 30 into an ultrasonic cleaning tank 31, a first cold water tank 32, a second cold water tank 33, a hot water tank 34, a rust-preventive liquid tank 35, and multiple overflow tanks 36. The height of the inner partitions 304 is lower than the height of the main outer frame edge 303, creating a certain liquid level difference to facilitate the flow of cleaning fluid into the overflow tanks 36. The inner partitions 304 are made of corrosion-resistant plastic or metal, with a smooth surface to reduce resistance during cleaning fluid flow.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the container cage 12 includes a cage body 123 with an opening 122 on the top and a cage cover 124 for sealing the opening 122. The cage cover 124 is movably connected to the top of the cage body 123, and a lifting grab 121 is provided on the side of the cage body 123 near the opening 122.

[0057] Specifically, the guide rod 111 is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant metal material, such as stainless steel, to ensure that it will not deform or rust during repeated use. Its surface is finely polished to prevent scratching the end caps. The diameter of the guide rod 111 is precisely designed according to the size of the center hole of the end cap, ensuring that the end cap can be securely mounted on the guide rod 111 and will not wobble or fall off during subsequent flipping, cleaning, or other operations. The arrangement of the guide rods 111 can be optimized according to the size and shape of the end caps, for example, using an equally spaced matrix arrangement to improve the space utilization of the container 10, allowing for the loading of more end caps at once, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0058] In this embodiment, the cage 123 is a three-dimensional structure with an opening 122 at the top, constructed using a high-strength metal frame. The metal frame provides overall support strength, ensuring that the cage 123 will not deform during lifting, flipping, or other processes. The size design of the cage 123 must fully consider the size of the end caps and the compatibility with equipment such as the flipping device 20 and the functional cleaning tank 30, ensuring that the container rack 10 can be smoothly transferred between various devices.

[0059] Specifically, the cage cover 124 is installed above the cage body 123 via a hinged or sliding connection, facilitating opening and closing. A reliable locking device, such as a snap-fit ​​or bolt connection, is provided between the cage cover 124 and the cage body 123 to ensure that the cage cover 124 will not accidentally open during tilting and cleaning, guaranteeing the safety of the end cover. The cage cover 124 is also made of metal with a corrosion-resistant surface treatment to improve its service life.

[0060] Specifically, lifting grippers 121 are symmetrically arranged on the side of the cage 123 near the opening 122. The lifting grippers 121 are made of high-strength alloy steel and are designed to facilitate gripping by the lifting device 40. The lifting grippers 121 are fixedly connected to the cage 123 by welding or bolts, ensuring a firm and reliable connection capable of bearing the total weight of the container frame 10 and the end caps. Anti-slip textures can be provided on the surface of the lifting grippers 121 to increase friction when the lifting device 40 grips, preventing slippage during lifting.

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the flipping base 22 includes a first receiving part 221 that receives the end of the container cage 12 away from the opening 122 and a second receiving part 222 that receives the end of the container cage 12 away from the lifting gripper 121, and a flipping part 223 that is fixedly connected between the first receiving part 221 and the second receiving part 222. The first receiving part 221 and the second receiving part 222 are perpendicular to each other, and a flipping drive device 224 is provided in the flipping base 21 and the flipping part 223.

[0062] In this embodiment, the flipping base 21 provides a stable support foundation for the entire flipping device 20. It is welded from thick metal plates to ensure that it will not shake or tilt during the flipping process. The bottom of the base is equipped with anti-slip pads or anchor bolts to firmly fix it to the ground and improve the stability of the device.

[0063] Specifically, the first receiving part 221 and the second receiving part 222 are perpendicular to each other and are used to receive different parts of the container cage 12. The first receiving part 221 is used to receive the end of the container cage 12 away from the opening 122, and its surface is provided with a groove or support block that matches the shape of the bottom of the container cage 12 to ensure that the container cage 12 can be stably positioned when placed. The second receiving part 222 is used to receive the end of the container cage 12 away from the lifting gripper 121, and similarly, the stability of the container cage 12 is ensured through a reasonable structural design. The surface of the receiving part can be provided with cushioning materials such as rubber pads to reduce collisions and wear between the container cage 12 and the receiving part.

[0064] Furthermore, the flipping part 223 is fixedly connected between the first receiving part 221 and the second receiving part 222, serving to connect and transmit the flipping power. The flipping part 223 is made of a high-strength metal shaft and is rotatably connected to the flipping base 21 through bearings, ensuring a smooth and unobstructed flipping process.

[0065] The tilting drive device 224 employs a combination of a motor and a reducer. The motor provides power, while the reducer lowers the speed and increases the torque to meet the tilting base 22's requirement to tilt the container frame 10. The drive device is connected to the tilting section 223 via a coupling to ensure the stability and reliability of power transmission. Limit switches and overload protection devices can be installed on the drive device. When the tilting reaches the designated position, the limit switch automatically cuts off the power and stops the tilting. In case of overload, the overload protection device activates promptly to protect the drive device and the entire tilting device 20 from damage.

[0066] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, a drying device 50 is also included. The drying device 50 includes a drying conveying device 51 and a drying chamber 52 covered by the drying conveying device 51. A drying table 53 is provided between the functional cleaning tank 30 and the drying device 50.

[0067] In this embodiment, the drying conveyor 51 uses chain or belt drive to smoothly transport the washed and dried end cap container 10 through the drying chamber 52. The speed of the conveyor can be adjusted according to the drying requirements to ensure that the end caps have sufficient residence time in the drying chamber 52 to achieve the ideal drying effect. The chain or belt of the conveyor is made of high-temperature resistant and wear-resistant material with a smooth surface to avoid scratching the end caps.

[0068] Specifically, the drying chamber 52 is enclosed on the drying conveyor device 51 and is made of materials with good thermal insulation properties, such as rock wool board or polyurethane foam board, to reduce heat loss. Heating elements, such as infrared heating tubes or a hot air circulation system, are installed inside the drying chamber 52 to quickly and evenly transfer heat to the end cover surface, causing rapid evaporation of moisture. Temperature and humidity sensors can be installed inside the drying chamber 52 to monitor the drying temperature and humidity in real time. The control system automatically adjusts the power of the heating elements and the ventilation volume to ensure the drying process takes place under optimal conditions.

[0069] In this embodiment, a drying platform 53 is provided between the functional cleaning tank 30 and the drying device 50.

The size of the drying platform 53 is designed according to the size and number of the container racks 10, allowing multiple container racks 10 to be placed simultaneously, thereby improving drying efficiency. A protective railing 371 can be installed around the drying platform 53 to prevent personnel from accidentally touching the container racks 10 and ensure operational safety.

[0070] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the lifting device 40 includes a lifting bracket 41 disposed on the container rack 10, the flipping device 20, the functional cleaning tank 30, the drying table 53 and the drying device 50, and at least one lifting machine 42 slidably connected to the lifting bracket 41. The lifting machine 42 is provided with a lifting hook 43 for gripping the lifting lug 121. The lifting lug 121 lifts the container rack 10 from the flipping device 20 to the functional cleaning tank 30, the drying table 53 and the drying device 50.

[0071] In this embodiment, the lifting support 41 is installed on related equipment such as the container rack 10, the tilting device 20, the functional cleaning tank 30, the drying platform 53, and the drying device 50. It is welded from high-strength metal profiles to form a stable support structure. The layout of the lifting support 41 is rationally designed according to the operating position and lifting requirements of each piece of equipment to ensure that the lifting machine 42 can move smoothly between the various pieces of equipment.

[0072] Specifically, the lifting machine 42 is slidably connected to the lifting support 41 and moves horizontally on the lifting support 41 driven by a motor. The lifting machine 42 uses an electric hoist or hydraulic lifting device and has sufficient lifting capacity to easily lift the container rack 10 filled with end caps. The lifting machine 42 is equipped with a lifting hook 43 for gripping the lifting lug 121. The lifting hook 43 is made of high-strength alloy steel and its shape matches the lifting lug 121 to ensure a firm and reliable grip. In some embodiments (not shown in the figure), a weight sensor and a height sensor can be installed on the lifting machine to monitor the lifting weight and lifting height in real time. When overloading or abnormal conditions occur, an alarm will be issued in time to ensure operational safety.

[0073] The lifting device 40 uses the lifting hook 43 to grab the lifting lug 121 on the container rack 10, smoothly lifting the container rack 10 from the tilting device 20 to the designated position in the functional cleaning tank 30. During the lifting process, the operating speed and height of the lifting machine 42 are controlled to ensure that the container rack 10 does not collide with other equipment. After cleaning, the lifting device 40 lifts the container rack 10 from the functional cleaning tank 30 to the drying table 53. After the moisture on the end cap surface dries, it is then lifted to the drying device 50 for drying. The entire lifting process is automated, improving work efficiency and operational accuracy.

[0074] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, an observation platform 37 is provided on one side of the functional cleaning tank 30, and a guardrail 371 is provided on the observation platform 37.

[0075] Specifically, an observation platform 37 is provided on one side of the functional cleaning tank 30. The observation platform 37 is constructed with a metal frame and wooden or plastic footboards, and its height is moderate, facilitating operators' observation of the cleaning status of the end caps inside the functional cleaning tank 30. A guardrail 371, made of metal, is installed on the observation platform 37, and its height meets safety standards, ensuring the safety of operators during observation. The observation platform 37 allows operators to promptly identify problems during the cleaning process, such as whether the end caps are clean or whether the equipment is operating normally, so that timely measures can be taken to address them.

[0076] This utility model has many application scenarios, including but not limited to the following described scenarios:
