[0031] Examples of cleaning devices adaptable to multi-diameter ingots:
[0032] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the cleaning device adaptable to multi-diameter ingots includes an ingot support assembly 1, a moving assembly 2, and a cleaning assembly 3. The ingot support assembly 1 supports the ingot to be cleaned, and the moving assembly 2 controls the position of the cleaning assembly 3 relative to the ingot to be cleaned.
[0033] To achieve circumferential rotation of the ingot to be cleaned, the ingot support assembly 1 includes a support frame 11, a rotary motor 12, and two parallel transmission rollers 13. The transmission rollers 13 are connected to bearing seats 14 on the support frame 11 to achieve free rotation of the transmission rollers 13. One end of the transmission rollers 13 is provided with a sprocket, and the two sprockets are driven by a chain 17. The rotary motor 12 is driven by either of the transmission rollers 13.
[0034] The moving component 2 includes two slide rails 21 parallel to the transmission roller 13, a moving plate 22 slidably connected to the two slide rails 21, a moving motor 23 mounted on the moving plate 22, and a first gear 25 mounted below the moving plate 22. The moving motor 23 and the first gear 25 are driven together. A first rack 24 is positioned between the two slide rails 21, meshing with the first gear 25 to move the moving plate 22 along the slide rails 21. When the moving motor 23 starts, it drives the first gear 25 to rotate, and through the meshing of the gear and rack, it drives the moving plate 22 to move smoothly along the slide rails 21. Since the cleaning component 3 is mounted on the moving plate 22, the movement of the moving plate 22 indirectly drives the cleaning component 3 to move along the slide rails 21, that is, along the length of the ingot to be cleaned, thereby ensuring that the cleaning component 3 can thoroughly clean the surface of the ingot to be cleaned, achieving a highly efficient cleaning effect. Before the cleaning operation begins, the ingot to be cleaned needs to be sprayed with water to reduce dust generation and improve the cleaning effect. Sprinkling can be done manually or with the help of existing sprinkler equipment. No specific restrictions are placed on the sprinkling method here, and users can choose according to their actual situation.
[0035] To enable the cleaning assembly 3 to clean ingots of different diameters, the moving plate 22 is also equipped with an upwardly inclined support plate 26. Along the length of the support plate 26 are a lead screw 27, a nut 28 that engages with the lead screw 27, and a pressure motor 29 that is driven by the lead screw 27. A support plate 31 is connected to the nut 28 to allow the support plate 31 to move axially along the lead screw 27. The distance between the support plate 31 and the ingot is controlled by the pressure motor 29, thereby adjusting the distance between the cleaning assembly 3 and the ingot. This distance adjustment not only accommodates the cleaning of ingots of different diameters but also controls the force exerted by the cleaning brush 32 on the ingot, thus adjusting the cleaning force and achieving precise cleaning.
[0036] The cleaning assembly 3 is mounted on the support plate 31. The cleaning assembly 3 includes a cleaning brush disc 32, a drive wheel 33, a driven wheel 34, and a cleaning motor 36. The rotating shaft of the cleaning brush disc 32 is connected to the driven wheel 34, and the output shaft of the cleaning motor 36 is connected to the drive wheel 33. The driven wheel 34 and the drive wheel 33 are connected by a belt 35 to achieve rotation of the cleaning brush disc 32. The rotation axis of the cleaning brush disc 32 is parallel to the slide rail 21. The cleaning motor 36 controls the rotation of the cleaning brush disc 32 to achieve the brushing operation of the cleaning brush disc 32.
[0037] To prevent splashes from polluting the environment during the cleaning process, a protective component 4 is included. The protective component 4 includes a protective door 41 and a protective body 42. Rollers 43 are installed on both sides of the protective body 42, and tracks 44 are installed on both sides of the support frame 11. The rollers 43 slide in conjunction with the tracks 44 to allow the protective body 42 to move. The length of the tracks 44 is greater than the sum of the width of the support frame 11 and the depth of the protective body 42. The protective body 42 slides along the tracks 44 to switch between covering and exposing the cleaning device, facilitating the handling of ingots. The protective body 42 and the protective door 41 form a relatively enclosed cleaning space, allowing the cleaning fluid and cleaning device to function better within the protective cover, reducing waste of cleaning fluid, and improving cleaning effect and efficiency. Simultaneously, the protective body 42 also prevents operators from accidentally coming into contact with the high-speed rotating cleaning brush 32 or other moving parts, ensuring the personal safety of the operators.
[0038] To enable autonomous movement of the passport body, the protective assembly 4 also includes a protective motor 45 and a second gear 46. The output shaft of the protective motor 45 is connected to the second gear 46. A second rack 47 is provided on the side of the track 44, and the second rack 47 cooperates with the second gear 46 to achieve movement control of the protective cover body 42. The movement of the protective cover body 42 is achieved by the protective motor 45.
[0039] To facilitate the opening and closing of the protective door 41, the protective door 41 is slidably connected to the protective body 42, and the opening and closing of the protective door 41 is achieved by lifting and lowering.
[0040] To optimize the environmental performance of the cleaning device, an exhaust pipe 48 is also provided on the top of the main body 42 of the protective cover to discharge the exhaust gas generated during the cleaning process. This effectively prevents the accumulation of exhaust gas in the cleaning area, thereby reducing pollution to the surrounding environment and improving the environmental friendliness of the entire cleaning process.
[0041] Due to the large mass of the ingot, in order to prevent the transmission rail from being bent, the support frame 11 is provided with multiple boss support blocks 15, and the transmission roller 13 is provided with multiple annular cylindrical bosses 16. The boss support blocks 15 are used to support the annular cylindrical bosses 16; thereby ensuring the support effect of the transmission roller 13 on the ingot to be cleaned.
[0042] To achieve automation, a controller is also included. The controller is electrically connected to the rotary motor 12, the moving motor 23, the pressurizing motor 29, the cleaning motor 36, and the protective motor 45 to control their operation. This not only significantly improves the automation level of the cleaning device but also substantially enhances cleaning accuracy and efficiency, providing a strong guarantee for the efficient and high-quality execution of cleaning operations.
[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the present utility model. Any simple modifications, alterations, or equivalent structural changes made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
