Description

A parts cleaning device Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of component maintenance technology, and more specifically, to a component cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, when cleaning press transmission components, the problem of excessive dirt and grease left over from the cleaning process mainly relies on manual detection and handling. Operators need to constantly monitor the cleaning equipment, visually observing the surface of the transmission components and the turbidity of the cleaning fluid to determine the extent of dirt and grease residue.

[0003] After several hours of continuous monitoring, operators are prone to fatigue and inattention. For example, during long shifts, operators' energy levels decline significantly in the latter half of the night, and even experienced operators may overlook gradually accumulating dirt and grease. By the time these are discovered, the dirt may have already formed a thick buildup in critical parts of the transmission components, increasing the difficulty of subsequent cleaning. Moreover, human judgment is subjective; different operators have different standards for defining "excessive dirt and grease." Some believe that as long as it does not affect the operation of the transmission components, it is acceptable, while others pursue extreme cleanliness. This results in a lack of uniform and precise measurement standards for cleaning work.

[0004] When excessive dirt and grease are detected manually, the subsequent manual procedures are cumbersome and time-consuming. For example, the machine must be stopped first, and then tools must be manually used to wipe, scrape, and clean the workpiece. This series of manual operations often consumes a lot of time, forcing the entire cleaning process to be interrupted for a long time, slowing down the production rhythm, and seriously affecting cleaning efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a parts cleaning device that can automatically clean dirt and grease adhering to the surface of parts, reducing manual intervention and improving cleaning efficiency and automation. Simultaneously, the cleaning fluid used to clean the parts can be purified and recycled, reducing waste and lowering costs.

[0007] The cleaning shed extends along a first direction and is divided into a cleaning zone and a filtration zone that are separated from each other along the first direction;

[0008] The cleaning assembly includes roller brushes and a drive assembly. Multiple roller brushes are arranged in parallel in the cleaning area. The drive assembly drives the multiple roller brushes to rotate. The rotation axis of the roller brushes is along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0009] The tray assembly includes a tray and a first drive device. The tray is placed in the cleaning area and is lower than the roller brush. The first drive device is used to drive the tray to move along a first direction.

[0010] The transfer component is located in the cleaning zone and close to the filtration zone. The transfer component is used to transfer the cleaning solution in the cleaning zone to the filtration zone.

[0011] The filter assembly is located in the filtration zone and is used to filter particulate impurities and suspended grease from the cleaning fluid before returning it to the cleaning zone.

[0012] In one feasible embodiment, the drive assembly of the cleaning component includes a gear set consisting of several gears and a first drive motor;

[0024] In one feasible embodiment, the component cleaning device includes a controller and a water level sensor located below the filter screen. The controller is electrically connected to the water level sensor and the transfer assembly.

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0037] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0038] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, this application provides a component cleaning device, including a cleaning shed 1, a cleaning component, a loading tray component, a transfer component, and a filtering component.

[0039] The cleaning shed 1 extends along the first direction L1 and is divided along the first direction L1 into a cleaning zone S1 and a filtration zone S2 that are separated from each other.

[0040] The cleaning assembly includes a roller brush 2 and a drive assembly 3. Multiple roller brushes 2 are arranged in parallel in the cleaning zone S1. The drive assembly 3 drives the multiple roller brushes 2 to rotate. The rotation axis of the roller brushes 2 is along the second direction L2, and the second direction L2 is perpendicular to the first direction L1.

[0041] The tray assembly includes a tray 4 and a first drive device 5. The tray 4 is placed in the cleaning zone S1 and is lower than the roller brush 2. The first drive device 5 is used to drive the tray 4 to move along the first direction L1.

[0042] The transfer component is located in the cleaning zone S1 and close to the filtration zone S2. The transfer component is used to transfer the cleaning liquid in the cleaning zone S1 to the filtration zone S2.

[0043] The filter assembly is located in the filter zone S2 and is used to filter particulate impurities and suspended grease in the cleaning fluid before returning it to the cleaning zone S1.

[0044] In one embodiment, a monitoring module 9 may be provided on the upper side of the cleaning shed 1. The monitoring module 9 is connected to a control device, which receives and displays the image data from the monitoring module 9.

[0045] When using the component cleaning device of this application, the components to be cleaned are placed in the carrier tray 4, and the cleaning solution is poured into the cleaning area S1 of the cleaning chamber 1. The first drive device 5 drives the carrier tray 4 to move along the first direction L1 to below the roller brush 2. Then, the drive assembly 3 drives multiple roller brushes 2 to rotate, cleaning the components in the carrier tray 4 to remove dirt, grease, and other impurities from the surface of the components. At this time, the cleanliness of the components can be determined by visual observation or by monitoring the cleaning process and photos of the cleaning area S1 obtained by the monitoring module 9. Except for manual feeding and adding of cleaning solution, the cleaning process is fully automatic, reducing manual labor and improving cleaning efficiency and automation.

[0046] During the cleaning process, dirt, grease, and other impurities removed during cleaning enter the cleaning solution, increasing the suspended solids and oily contaminants, which may affect the quality of continued cleaning. This can be determined visually, or by monitoring data acquired by module 9, to determine if there are excessive impurities in the cleaning solution or if parts have not been thoroughly cleaned. In this case, the control device activates the transfer assembly to transfer the contaminated cleaning solution to the filtration zone S2. The filtration assembly in zone S2 filters out particulate impurities and suspended grease from the cleaning solution before returning it to the cleaning zone S1. This achieves the repurification and recycling of the cleaning solution, ensuring effective cleaning of subsequent parts, reducing cleaning solution waste, lowering costs, and reducing emissions, making it more environmentally friendly.

[0047] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG1, the drive component 3 of the cleaning component may include a gear set consisting of a plurality of gears 31 and a first drive motor 32.

[0048] A number of gears 31 are disposed on the outer wall of the cleaning area S1 and arranged along the first direction L1. The first drive motor 32 is installed on the side wall of the cleaning shed 1 and drives the gears 31 to rotate.

[0049] The number of gears 31 is the same as the number of roller brushes 2. One end of each roller brush 2 extends out of the side wall of the cleaning area S1 along the second direction L2 and is connected to the gear 31. The roller brush 2 rotates as the connected gear 31 rotates.

[0050] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, the transfer assembly includes a rotating roller 61, a waterwheel-type component 62, and a second drive motor 63.

[0051] The rotating roller 61 is rotatably mounted on the side walls of the cleaning zone S1 along the second direction L2 at both ends. Multiple waterwheel-type components 62 are mounted on the rotating roller 61. The second drive motor 63 is mounted on the outside of the cleaning shed 1 and connected to one end of the rotating roller 61.

[0052] The waterwheel component 62 includes multiple trough-shaped structures, with the uppermost trough-shaped structure of the waterwheel component 62 being higher than the partition between the cleaning zone S1 and the filtration zone S2. During the rotation of the waterwheel component 62, the cleaning liquid containing dirt and grease generated during cleaning is lifted from the cleaning zone S1 of the cleaning shed 1 and poured into the filtration zone S2.

[0053] As the waterwheel-type component 62 rotates, the circumferentially distributed trough-shaped structure is continuously immersed in the cleaning fluid, which is then scooped up and lifted to a certain height. When the trough-shaped structure rotates to the upper position, the cleaning fluid is poured from the trough-shaped structure into the filtration zone S2 due to gravity and inertia.

[0054] The size, number and shape of the waterwheel component 62 can be adjusted according to the specific needs and spatial layout of the cleaning device to adapt to different cleaning fluid flow rates and lifting height requirements, thus exhibiting strong adaptability.

[0055] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the cleaning zone S1 is divided into a filter chamber 72 and an oil filter chamber 73 by a baffle plate 71. A filter screen 74 is provided on the filter chamber 72, and the cleaning liquid transferred by the transfer assembly is poured onto the filter screen 74. The top of the baffle plate 71 is lower than the filter screen 74, forming an oil filter channel 75. The filter chamber 72 is provided with a return valve 721 that connects to the cleaning zone S1. The oil filter chamber 73 is provided with a drain valve 731 for draining oil.

[0056] The filter screen 74 performs preliminary filtration of particulate impurities in the cleaning fluid, trapping these impurities above the screen. The cleaning fluid carrying grease passes through the filter screen 74 into the filter chamber 72. As the cleaning fluid continues to enter the filter chamber 72, when the liquid level reaches the height of the baffle plate 71, most of the suspended grease flows into the oil filtration chamber 73 and is then discharged via the drain valve 731. The purified cleaning fluid at the bottom of the filter chamber 72 flows back to the cleaning zone S1 via the return valve 721.

[0057] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, the component cleaning device further includes an adsorption block 76 coated with an oleophilic and hydrophobic layer, and a second driving device 77 connected to the adsorption block 76 for driving the adsorption block 76 to reciprocate within the oil filter channel 75 and above the oil filter chamber 73. Preferably, the surface of the adsorption block 76 is provided with a fluorosilane coating.

[0058] Furthermore, the component cleaning device may also include a controller. A water level sensor 78 is installed below the filter screen 74. The controller is electrically connected to the water level sensor 78 and the transfer assembly. When the water level sensor 78 detects that the liquid level in the oil filter chamber 73 has reached the same level as the baffle plate 71, the controller controls the transfer assembly to stop working. Then, the second drive device 77 drives the adsorption block 76 to move back and forth in the oil filter channel 75 and above the oil filter chamber 73 to adsorb grease. When it is above the oil filter chamber 73, the grease liquid falls in and is then discharged. An oil receiving tray 79 is provided at the outlet of the drain valve 731.

[0059] In one embodiment, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, a barrier 8 is provided between the cleaning component and the transfer component in the cleaning zone S1 to prevent parts from entering the area where the transfer component is located.

[0060] The above description is only a partial embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
