[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Please see Figure 1-6 A machining center linear guide cleaning device includes a support cover 1, a connecting plate 2, and a motor plate 3. The device is characterized in that two sets of connecting plates 2 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the support cover 1. Two sets of height adjustment components 4 for adjusting the height of the support cover 1 are connected to the bottom surface of the connecting plates 2 to accommodate linear guides of different sizes. Each height adjustment component 4 includes a height adjustment part and a telescopic rod 401, which are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom surfaces of the connecting plates 2 located on the left and right sides of the support cover 1. A moving component 5 is connected to the bottom of both the height adjustment part and the telescopic rod 401. A cleaning tank 6 for spraying cleaning liquid is connected to the top of the support cover 1. A cleaning component 7 for cleaning the upper surface and grooves of the linear guide is connected inside the support cover 1.

[0025] The height adjustment section of this device includes an inner shell 402, an outer shell 403, a crank handle 404, a height adjustment crossbar 405, a first bevel gear 406, a second bevel gear 407, a height adjustment screw block 408, a partition plate 409, and a height adjustment screw 410. The inner shell 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the connecting plate 2. The height adjustment screw block 408 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner shell 402. The outer shell 403 is slidably connected to the outside of the inner shell 402. The height adjustment crossbar 410 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 403. 05 is fixedly connected to a partition plate 409. One end of the height adjustment bar 405 passes through the outer shell 403 and is fixedly connected to a crank handle 404. The height adjustment bar 405 is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear 406. The first bevel gear 406 meshes with a second bevel gear 407. The second bevel gear 407 is axially connected to a height adjustment screw 410. The height adjustment screw 410 passes through the partition plate 409 and is rotatably connected to the partition plate 409. The height adjustment screw block 408 is threadedly connected to the height adjustment screw 410.

[0026] By rotating the crank 404, the height adjustment bar 405 is rotated, which in turn causes the first bevel gear 406 to drive the second bevel gear 407 to rotate, and the second bevel gear 407 to drive the height adjustment screw 410 to rotate. Since the height adjustment block 408 is threadedly connected to the height adjustment screw 410, the rotation of the height adjustment screw 410 will cause the height adjustment block 408 to move along the axial direction of the height adjustment screw 410, thereby causing the inner sleeve 402 to move up and down relative to the outer sleeve 403, realizing the height adjustment of the support cover 1 to accommodate linear rails of different sizes.

[0027] The moving component 5 of this device includes a moving shell 501, a moving motor 502, a moving crossbar 503, and moving wheels 504. The moving shell 501 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the telescopic rod 401 and the outer shell 403. The moving motor 502 is fixedly connected to the side of the moving shell 501. The rotor of the moving motor 502 is fixedly connected to the moving crossbar 503. The moving crossbar 503 passes through the moving shell 501 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the moving shell 501. The moving wheels 504 are fixedly connected to the moving crossbar 503.

[0028] After the mobile motor 502 is started, it drives the mobile crossbar 503 to rotate, which in turn causes the mobile wheel 504 to rotate, driving the entire cleaning device to move along the track, thus realizing the automatic walking function of the cleaning device.

[0029] Example 2

[0030] This embodiment adds the following improvements based on embodiment one: a water pump 8 is placed inside the cleaning tank 6, and a water outlet pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the outlet of the water pump 8. The end of the water outlet pipe 9 passes through the cleaning tank 6 and is fixedly connected to a nozzle 10.

[0031] The water pump 8 draws out the cleaning liquid from the cleaning tank 6 and delivers it to the nozzle 10 through the water outlet pipe 9. The nozzle 10 sprays the cleaning liquid onto the surface of the rail, providing a moist environment for subsequent cleaning work and helping to remove dirt more effectively.

[0032] The cleaning component 7 of this device includes a first cleaning motor 701, a double-threaded screw 702, a cleaning screw block 703, an L-shaped rod 704, and a cleaning sponge 705. The first cleaning motor 701 is fixedly connected to the motor plate 3. The rotor of the first cleaning motor 701 is fixedly connected to the double-threaded screw 702. The double-threaded screw 702 passes through the support cover 1 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support cover 1. The left and right sides of the double-threaded screw 702 are threadedly connected to the cleaning screw block 703. The bottom surface of the cleaning screw block 703 is fixedly connected to the symmetrically placed L-shaped rods 704. The end of the L-shaped rod 704 is wrapped with a cleaning sponge 705.

[0033] After the first cleaning motor 701 starts, it drives the double-threaded screw 702 to rotate. Because the threads on the left and right sides of the double-threaded screw 702 are in opposite directions, the cleaning screw block 703 moves relative to the double-threaded screw 702 along its axial direction under the action of the threads. The cleaning screw block 703 drives the L-shaped rod 704 and the cleaning sponge 705 to move, and the cleaning sponge 705 wipes and cleans the upper surface and grooves of the guide rail.

[0034] The cleaning component 7 of this device also includes a second cleaning motor 706, cleaning vertical rods 707, transmission wheels 708, transmission belts 709, and cleaning brushes 710. Several sets of cleaning vertical rods 707 are rotatably connected to the top surface inside the support cover 1. The upper end of any set of cleaning vertical rods 707 passes through the top surface of the support cover 1 and is fixedly connected to the second cleaning motor 706. Transmission wheels 708 are fixedly connected to each cleaning vertical rod 707. The transmission wheels 708 are connected to each other through transmission belts 709. Cleaning brushes 710 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of each cleaning vertical rod 707.

[0035] After the second cleaning motor 706 starts, it drives the cleaning vertical rods 707 connected to it to rotate. The transmission wheels 708 (708) on the cleaning vertical rods 707 are connected to each other through the transmission belt 709, so that all the cleaning vertical rods 707 rotate synchronously. The cleaning brush 710 at the bottom of the cleaning vertical rod 707 rotates accordingly, brushing the surface of the guide rail, further improving the cleaning effect.

[0036] Working principle

[0037] By rotating the crank 404, the height adjustment bar 405 is rotated, which in turn causes the first bevel gear 406 to drive the second bevel gear 407 to rotate, and the second bevel gear 407 to drive the height adjustment screw 410 to rotate. Since the height adjustment block 408 is threadedly connected to the height adjustment screw 410, the rotation of the height adjustment screw 410 will cause the height adjustment block 408 to move along the axial direction of the height adjustment screw 410, thereby causing the inner sleeve 402 to move up and down relative to the outer sleeve 403, realizing the height adjustment of the support cover 1 to accommodate linear rails of different sizes.

[0038] After the mobile motor 502 is started, it drives the mobile crossbar 503 to rotate, which in turn causes the mobile wheel 504 to rotate, driving the entire cleaning device to move along the track, thus realizing the automatic walking function of the cleaning device.

[0039] The water pump 8 draws out the cleaning liquid from the cleaning tank 6 and delivers it to the nozzle 10 through the water outlet pipe 9. The nozzle 10 sprays the cleaning liquid onto the surface of the rail, providing a moist environment for subsequent cleaning work and helping to remove dirt more effectively.

[0040] After the first cleaning motor 701 starts, it drives the double-threaded screw 702 to rotate. Because the threads on the left and right sides of the double-threaded screw 702 are in opposite directions, the cleaning screw block 703 moves relative to the double-threaded screw 702 along its axial direction under the action of the threads. The cleaning screw block 703 drives the L-shaped rod 704 and the cleaning sponge 705 to move, and the cleaning sponge 705 wipes and cleans the upper surface and grooves of the guide rail.

[0041] After the second cleaning motor 706 starts, it drives the cleaning vertical rods 707 connected to it to rotate. The transmission wheels 708 (708) on the cleaning vertical rods 707 are connected to each other through the transmission belt 709, so that all the cleaning vertical rods 707 rotate synchronously. The cleaning brush 710 at the bottom of the cleaning vertical rod 707 rotates accordingly, brushing the surface of the guide rail, further improving the cleaning effect.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.

[0043] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
