Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold cleaning technology, and in particular to a mold production cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] During the production process, molds come into contact with various raw materials (such as plastics, rubber, and resins) as well as residues such as mold release agents, oil, and rust. If these impurities are not removed in time, they can cause surface contamination of the mold, thereby affecting the appearance quality, dimensional accuracy, and demolding effect of the product. For example, dirt and residue on the mold surface may cause problems such as film adhesion and deformation in the product, thus reducing product quality.

[0003] In existing technologies, cleaning molds with high-pressure nozzles relies on the operator's experience, takes a long time, and is difficult to thoroughly remove residues (such as release agents, oil stains, metal shavings, etc.) from complex mold grooves or crevices. This may result in incomplete cleaning of dead corner areas of the mold. Therefore, we propose a mold production cleaning device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a mold production cleaning device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A mold production cleaning device includes a cleaning box, an equipment frame fixed to the outer wall of the cleaning box, a hydraulic cylinder fixedly connected inside the equipment frame, an end plate fixedly connected to the top of the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, two supports fixedly connected to the bottom of the end plate, one of the supports having a through hole on its outer wall, a water pipe fixedly connected to the inner wall of the through hole, multiple nozzles evenly and interconnected on the outer wall of the water pipe, a circulation pump fixedly connected to the top of the end plate, and a common placement plate fixedly connected to the bottom of the two supports, the top of the placement plate having an anti-slip component.

[0007] Preferably, the anti-slip component includes three rectangular strips, and the top of the placement plate has three rectangular grooves. The inner walls of the three rectangular grooves are slidably connected to the outer walls of the three rectangular strips, and the top of the three rectangular strips is fixedly connected to the same anti-slip plate. The top of the anti-slip plate is fixedly connected to multiple anti-slip strips. By setting the anti-slip component, the anti-slip plate and the placement plate can be detachably installed.

[0008] Preferably, a water-proof plate is fixedly connected inside the cleaning box, and multiple transducers are fixedly embedded at the bottom of the water-proof plate. An existing ultrasonic generator is installed on the outer wall of the cleaning box. The existing ultrasonic generator converts the mains power into a high-frequency AC signal that matches the transducer. In this way, the transducer can emit ultrasonic waves that conform to its own characteristics. In the water, the ultrasonic waves radiate forward in an alternating pattern of density and sparseness, causing the liquid to flow and generating tens of thousands of tiny bubbles.

[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the end plate is in contact with the top of the device frame.

[0010] Preferably, the output end of the circulation pump is fixedly connected to one end of the water pipe, and a flexible hose is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning tank, with one end of the flexible hose fixedly connected to the input end of the circulation pump.

[0011] Preferably, the bottom of the anti-slip plate is in contact with the top of the placement plate, and the placement plate supports the anti-slip plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0013] This solution utilizes a dual cleaning mode of spray rinsing and ultrasonic cavitation to thoroughly remove stubborn stains (such as oil, release agent, metal shavings, etc.) from the mold surface. It is especially suitable for deep cleaning of complex grooves and crevices, significantly improving cleaning efficiency, reducing manual intervention, lowering operational difficulty and labor intensity, while also enhancing the consistency and stability of the cleaning process. Anti-slip plates and strips ensure that the mold does not shift or slip during the cleaning process, avoiding impact damage. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0020] Depend on Figures 1-3 As shown, a mold production cleaning device is disclosed, comprising a cleaning box 1 made of corrosion-resistant material (such as stainless steel or engineering plastic) and filled with cleaning fluid (water and cleaning agent). A water baffle 2 is fixedly connected inside the cleaning box 1, and multiple transducers 3 are fixedly embedded in the bottom of the water baffle 2. The water baffle 2 is fixed inside the cleaning box 1 to support the transducers 3 and prevent liquid from seeping into the bottom of the device. The multiple transducers 3 are connected to an external ultrasonic generator, which generates high-frequency vibration during operation, causing the cleaning fluid to produce a cavitation effect and peel off stubborn stains (such as oil stains and mold release agent residue) from the mold surface.

[0021] The outer wall of the cleaning box 1 is fixed with an equipment frame 4. The inside of the equipment frame 4 is fixedly connected with a hydraulic cylinder 5. The top of the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 5 is fixedly connected with an end plate 6. The bottom of the end plate 6 is in contact with the top of the equipment frame 4. The hydraulic cylinder 5 provides stable power to drive the end plate 6 to move up and down, controlling the mold to be immersed in or leave the cleaning fluid.

[0022] Two brackets 7 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the end plate 6. The two brackets 7 are symmetrically fixed below the end plate 6 to support the placement plate 12 and ensure that the mold lifting process is stable. One of the brackets 7 has a through hole on its outer wall. A water pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the through hole. Multiple nozzles 9 are evenly fixed and interconnected on the outer wall of the water pipe 8. A circulation pump 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the end plate 6. The output end of the circulation pump 10 is fixedly interconnected with one end of the water pipe 8. A hose 11 is fixedly interconnected on the outer wall of the cleaning box 1. One end of the hose 11 is fixedly interconnected with the input end of the circulation pump 10. The circulation pump 10 draws mixed cleaning liquid from the cleaning box 1 through the hose 11 and pumps it to the water pipe 8. The liquid is then evenly sprayed onto the mold surface through the nozzles 9 to achieve preliminary rinsing. The bottom of the two brackets 7 is fixedly connected to the same placement plate 12.

[0023] The top of the placement plate 12 is provided with an anti-slip component, which includes three rectangular strips 13. The top of the placement plate 12 has three rectangular grooves. The inner walls of the three rectangular grooves are slidably connected to the outer walls of the three rectangular strips 13. The top of the three rectangular strips 13 is fixedly connected to the same anti-slip plate 14. The bottom of the anti-slip plate 14 is in contact with the top of the placement plate 12. The top of the anti-slip plate 14 is fixedly connected to multiple anti-slip strips 15. The surface of the anti-slip strips 15 is made of rubber or polyurethane material to increase friction and prevent the mold from shifting or slipping during the cleaning process.

[0024] Working principle: During use, cleaning agent and water are added to the cleaning tank 1. The mold is placed on multiple anti-slip strips 15 using existing hoisting equipment. The hydraulic cylinder 5 operates, driving the end plate 6 to move downward. The downward movement of the end plate 6 causes the two supports 7 to move downward. The downward movement of the two supports 7 drives the placement plate 12, the anti-slip plate 14, and the multiple anti-slip strips 15 to move downward, thereby moving the mold downward so that it is above the liquid inside the cleaning tank 1. The circulating pump 10 operates, drawing the mixed cleaning solution from the hose 11 into the water pipe 8, and then spraying it downward by multiple nozzles 9 to initially clean the outer wall of the mold. The hydraulic cylinder 5 continues to operate, completely immersing the mold in the cleaning solution. Through the operation of the transducer 3 and the ultrasonic generator, tiny bubbles are generated in the water to clean the mold and break down insoluble dirt.

[0025] It should be noted that, in actual use, an existing PLC controller can be added. The PLC controller is electrically connected to the transducer 3, hydraulic cylinder 5, and circulating pump 10 to facilitate overall control. The specific data analysis and processing involved to further realize the control function are methods that can be implemented by technical personnel based on common knowledge. These methods are not within the scope of this solution. The above description is only to illustrate the beneficial effects that this hardware structure improvement can achieve in conjunction with common knowledge.

[0026] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market. Irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. Furthermore, the structure and principle of the components known to those skilled in the art can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods.
