[0035] This embodiment will be described in conjunction with the appendix to the instruction manual. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 6 A deep cleaning device for brake valve components is described. The cleaning device includes a cleaning tank 10, a drain basket 20, a bubble generator 30, an ultrasonic generator 40, an air curtain generator 50, and a heating rod 60. The cleaning tank 10 has a deep depth. The brake valve components to be cleaned are placed in the drain basket and then placed in the cleaning tank. The bubble generator and ultrasonic generator are activated to clean the brake valve components. After cleaning, the drain basket is removed. During the removal process, the parts in the drain basket are dehydrated by the air knife and air curtain formed by the air curtain generator, which accelerates the drying process.
[0036] The cleaning tank 10 is a three-dimensional cleaning tank made of stainless steel plate. It has a cuboid cleaning tank inside. The bottom plate 11 of the cleaning tank is set in an inclined state so that the dirt generated during cleaning can be quickly collected. A drain pipe and a drain valve 12 are set at the lowest point of the cleaning tank. The dirt inside can be quickly discharged by periodically opening the drain valve 12.
[0037] The bottom of the cleaning tank is equipped with foot supports for adjustment and leveling.
[0038] A raised baffle 13 is provided in the lower middle part of the cleaning tank 10. The raised baffle is formed by welding a square tube into the inner wall of the cleaning tank and is used to fix the drain basket. That is, the drain basket 20 is placed into the cleaning tank from top to bottom and fixed by the limiting action of the raised baffle.
[0039] The drain basket 20 is made of perforated stainless steel sheet through sheet metal and welding. The sides and bottom are perforated, which allows liquid to flow freely inside and outside the drain basket and facilitates the passage of air curtains to dry the internal components.
[0040] Furthermore, the interior of the drain basket is equipped with partitions, dividing the internal space into multiple sub-cavities, which helps to improve the stability of the internal components.
[0041] The bubble generator 30 includes an air outlet pipe 31, an air pipe 32, a pressure regulating valve 33, and a compressed air source (not shown in the figure). The air outlet pipe 31 is fixedly installed inside the cleaning tank and secured with a flange at the penetration point, located below the raised baffle. Numerous micropores 311 are densely arranged on the air outlet pipe 31, preferably facing upwards. The air outlet pipe is connected to the compressed air source via the air pipe and the pressure regulating valve. The pressure of the compressed air is adjusted by the pressure regulating valve; generally, adjusting it to between 1.0 and 1.3 MPa is sufficient. The bubbles generated by the bubble generator rise from bottom to top, carrying away the dirt in the drain basket in the process. The air intake can be adjusted according to different oil stain characteristics to generate bubbles of different intensities, resulting in different scouring intensities.
[0042] Using compressed air as kinetic energy, the disassembled brake valve components are deeply soaked and rinsed through bubbling, resulting in a more thorough cleaning and improved cleaning quality and work efficiency.
[0043] Furthermore, a check valve is designed into the air duct to prevent the metal cleaning agent from flowing back into the air duct and contaminating the air source.
[0044] Furthermore, during the opening process, the micropores are oriented in different directions, creating air waves in different directions through air blowing, thereby improving the scouring effect.
[0045] A heating rod 60 is installed inside the cleaning tank, below the raised baffle, to heat the liquid inside. It works in conjunction with a temperature sensor 61, which is located inside the cleaning tank to sense the temperature of the liquid. Heating maintains the liquid at a constant temperature, for example, a constant 60 degrees Celsius. This temperature increase activates the contaminants, allowing for rapid separation. The electrode connector 62 of the heating rod is installed on the outside of the cleaning tank for connection to a 220V power supply.
[0046] An ultrasonic generator 40 is installed in the upper middle part of the liquid. Specifically, a mounting slot is carved and welded into the wall of the cleaning tank, and the ultrasonic generator is fixed in the mounting slot. After installation, the ultrasonic generator is flush with the inner wall of the cleaning tank, which ensures the easy placement and removal of the drain basket. Simultaneously, the ultrasonic generator, installed in the space above the drain basket, can efficiently radiate ultrasonic waves into the liquid inside the basket. Under the action of the ultrasonic waves, the microbubbles in the liquid generate shock waves on the parts to be cleaned. The enormous ultrasonic pressure generated by this ultrasonic cavitation can destroy insoluble dirt on the surface of the parts.
[0047] The air curtain generator 50 includes an air curtain pipe 51, an air pipe, a solenoid valve, a compressed air source, and a sensor-triggered switch 52. The air curtain pipe 51 is formed by welding square steel tubing and is fixed to the upper end of the cleaning tank. Multiple air outlets 511 are opened on the inner side of the air curtain pipe, facing diagonally downwards from the cleaning tank. This structure facilitates drying during the placement and removal of the drain basket. The sensor-triggered switch 52 is located at the entrance of the cleaning tank, near the air curtain pipe. This switch triggers the solenoid valve during the placement and removal of the drain basket, causing a high-pressure air curtain or air duct to be generated instantaneously during the process, thus drying the components.
[0048] After using this cleaning machine, the cleaning quality and efficiency of brake valve parts have been greatly improved, reducing the wiping time of assembled parts, reducing the rework valve rate, and improving production efficiency.
[0049] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Without departing from the spirit of the present utility model, all modifications and improvements to the present utility model by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
