Description

A centralized cage surface degreasing device Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cage cleaning technology, and in particular to a centralized cage surface degreasing device. Background Technology

[0002] After the cage is stamped, it needs to be cleaned. This is because during the production process, oil stains on the mold and dust in the air cause oil and dust to stick to the cage after processing. Therefore, the cage needs to be cleaned to ensure the smoothness of the product.

[0003] Current technology mainly uses spray cleaning to clean cages, but spray cleaning alone cannot completely remove oil stains from the product. At the same time, during the cage processing, some residual magnetism remains on the cage, which is greater than 3 Gauss, causing the cage to attract some metal powder. Currently, the removal of this metal powder usually involves demagnetizing the cage separately, and then the demagnetized cage enters the cleaning process. This method has the problems of complex procedures and low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a centralized cage surface degreasing device that can not only degrease the cage but also demagnetize it, combining the two processes to simplify the post-processing steps and improve work efficiency. Furthermore, the inclusion of a bubbling mechanism and an ultrasonic vibrating plate within the cleaning tank enhances the degreasing and cleaning effect on the cage.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0006] A centralized cage surface degreasing device, comprising:

[0007] The frame is equipped with a cleaning tank containing cleaning fluid and an ultrasonic vibrating plate on the side wall.

[0008] A receiving hopper is located above the cleaning tank. A sliding plate is slidably provided at the bottom opening of the receiving hopper. The sliding plate is connected to a telescopic unit. After the receiving hopper receives a set number of workpieces, the telescopic unit drives the sliding plate to open.

[0009] The lifting mechanism has one end located in the cleaning tank and the other end extending obliquely to the outside of the cleaning tank to lift the product.

[0010] A demagnetizer is mounted on a lifting mechanism outside the cleaning tank to demagnetize workpieces.

[0011] As a further implementation, the frame includes a first support frame for fixing the cleaning tank, a second support frame for fixing a lifting mechanism extending to the outside of the cleaning tank, and an inclined third support frame between the first and second support frames for mounting the demagnetizer.

[0012] As a further implementation, the bottom opening of the receiving hopper is rectangular, with opposing lower side plates at the opening, and a sliding plate slidably disposed between the lower side plates; a telescopic unit is fixed at the bottom of the receiving hopper, and the output end of the telescopic unit is connected to the sliding plate to drive the sliding plate to slide, thereby opening the bottom opening of the receiving hopper.

[0013] As a further implementation, the top edge of the receiving hopper is provided with an annular window material drop counter.

[0014] As a further implementation, the first support frame is also provided with an overflow trough, which is arranged side by side with the cleaning tank and shares a middle side plate; the other side plates of the overflow trough and the cleaning tank are higher than the middle side plate, and the height of the middle side plate is adapted to the height of the cleaning liquid level.

[0015] As a further implementation, the side plate on the side of the cleaning tank away from the middle side plate is the cleaning tank side plate, and a circulation pump is provided in the overflow tank. The circulation pump is connected to the overflow hole at the top of the cleaning tank side plate through a circulation pipeline.

[0016] As a further implementation, the overflow holes are arranged laterally at the top of the side plate of the cleaning tank, and their height is higher than that of the middle side plate.

[0017] As a further implementation, the lifting mechanism is formed by two chains and a lifting mesh belt connecting the chains. The chains and sprockets cooperate to achieve transmission. The size of the lifting mesh belt in the cleaning tank is adapted to the size of the bottom plate of the cleaning tank. A bubble-blowing mechanism is provided below the lifting surface of the lifting mesh belt.

[0018] As a further implementation, the end of the lifting mechanism is rotatably connected to a guide plate, and a feeding adjustment cylinder is provided between the bottom surface of the guide plate and the housing of the lifting mechanism.

[0019] As a further implementation, an electrical control box is also included to supply power to the device.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0021] This utility model's centralized cage surface degreasing equipment not only removes oil from the cage but also demagnetizes it, combining the two processes to simplify post-cage processing and improve efficiency. The inclusion of a bubbling mechanism and ultrasonic vibrating plate within the cleaning tank enhances the degreasing and cleaning effect. The degreasing cleaning fluid flows perpendicular to the cage's lifting direction during cleaning, further improving the degreasing effect and preventing oil from adhering to the cage. The demagnetizer is positioned on the inclined section of the lifting mechanism, achieving a rational arrangement of the degreasing device structure. Attached Figure Description

[0031] It should be noted that the following detailed description is illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] In a typical embodiment of this utility model, as shown in Figures 1-6, a centralized retainer surface degreasing device includes a frame 1, on which a cleaning tank 2, a lifting mechanism, and a demagnetizer 10 are provided.

[0034] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, taking the view direction of Figure 1 as an example, the frame 1 serves as the main support frame, with the first support frame 101 and the second support frame 102 from left to right, and the third support frame 103 connecting the first support frame and the second support frame 102.

[0035] The first support frame 101 is used to fix the cleaning tank 2 and the overflow tank 17. The second support frame is used to fix the lifting mechanism extending to the outside of the cleaning tank. A third support frame 103 is provided at an incline between the first support frame 101 and the second support frame 102 for installing the demagnetizer 10. The three sets of support frames are composed of corresponding connecting beams and connecting columns, and can be effectively fixed and installed with corresponding structures.

[0036] The receiving hopper 3 is located above the cleaning tank 2, and can be fixed to the side plate 21 of the cleaning tank via a support column. Alternatively, a separate support structure can be used, the purpose of which is to ensure that the receiving hopper is located directly above the cleaning tank.

[0037] The receiving hopper 3 is formed by four sets of inclined side plates, creating a rectangular opening at the bottom. Two opposing inclined side plates have lower side plates 32 at their bottom. These lower side plates are positioned opposite each other, with grooves on their closest sides, which engage with a sliding plate 4.

[0038] The sliding plate 4 can open or close the bottom opening of the receiving hopper 3 by sliding at the groove of the lower side plate. When the sliding plate closes the opening, the retainer entering the receiving hopper 3 is supported by the sliding plate 4. After accumulating a certain number, the sliding plate 4 slides relative to the lower side plate, so that the opening opens and the retainer can fall into the cleaning tank 2.

[0039] The sliding plate 4 is connected to the telescopic unit. After the receiving hopper 3 receives a set number of workpieces, the telescopic unit drives the sliding plate to open.

[0040] As shown in Figure 5, a telescopic unit is fixed at the bottom of the receiving hopper 3. Specifically, a set of inclined side plates of the receiving hopper 3 has a feeding cylinder 5 fixed to its bottom surface via a bracket. The feeding cylinder 5 is connected to one end of the sliding plate 4 via a first connecting plate 51. The axis of the feeding cylinder 5 is parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding plate 4, and the first connecting plate 51 is an L-shaped plate. The feeding cylinder 5 can drive the sliding plate 4 to slide on the groove of the lower side plate 32 via the first connecting plate 51, thereby opening or closing the opening. In Figure 5, the sliding direction of the sliding plate 4 is left-right, also known as lateral.

[0041] As shown in Figure 6, the two lower side plates 32 are arranged longitudinally, and the corresponding sliding plate 4 can slide longitudinally. The feeding cylinder 5 is also arranged longitudinally and is connected to the sliding plate 4 through a straight second connecting plate 52, which can also realize the opening or closing. Different settings in Figure 5 or Figure 6 can be selected according to space requirements.

[0042] To ensure that the sliding plate 4 only opens after a certain number of retainers have accumulated in the receiving hopper 3, as shown in Figure 5, a counter 31 is provided at the top edge of the receiving hopper 3. Counter 31 is a ring-shaped window discharge counter used to count the retainers. The number of retainers accumulated before opening the sliding plate 3 can be determined according to requirements. The ring-shaped window discharge counter is an existing counter.

[0043] One end of the lifting mechanism is located in the cleaning tank 2, and the other end extends obliquely to the outside of the cleaning tank 2 to lift the product.

[0044] As shown in Figure 1, the lifting mechanism is formed by two chains 7 on both sides and a lifting mesh belt connected between the chains 7. The device has a continuous first horizontal section, an inclined section and a second horizontal section. The first horizontal section is located in the cleaning tank near the bottom plate. The inclined section extends inclinedly outward from the cleaning tank. The part extending to the outside of the cleaning tank 2 is provided with a housing 14 and is fixed to the second support frame 102. The second horizontal section is located at the end of the inclined section and is used to transport the degreased retainer to the next process.

[0045] It should be noted that the chain 7, sprocket, and lifting mesh belt structure of the lifting mechanism are existing technologies. A driven sprocket 6 is provided at the front end of the first horizontal section, and the shaft of the driven sprocket 6 is located on the inner wall of the cleaning tank. A sprocket is also provided at the junction of the horizontal section and the inclined section to realize the turning of the lifting mesh belt, so as to realize the inclined lifting of the retainer.

[0046] Baffles are evenly distributed on the lifting conveyor belt to prevent the cage from slipping when it is lifted.

[0047] As shown in Figure 1, a drive sprocket 11 is installed on the inner side of the housing at the end of the second horizontal section via a rotating shaft. The two sprockets at the corresponding positions in front are connected as one unit via a transmission shaft and rotate synchronously. A motor 141 is installed on the outer side of the housing. The motor can drive the drive sprocket to rotate, and the chain and sprocket cooperate to realize the transmission, thereby realizing the operation of the lifting conveyor belt.

[0048] In this embodiment, the dimensions of the lifting mesh belt in the first horizontal section are adapted to the dimensions of the bottom plate of the cleaning tank, ensuring that the retainers can all fall onto the lifting mesh belt.

[0049] The end of the housing 14 of the second horizontal section of the lifting mesh belt is rotatably connected to the guide plate 13. A feeding adjustment cylinder 12 is provided between the bottom surface of the guide plate and the housing. The telescopic end of the feeding adjustment cylinder 12 acts on the bottom end of the guide plate to adjust the angle of the guide plate, so as to better connect with the working height of the next process.

[0050] To prevent the cage from accumulating after falling all at once and reducing the cleaning effect, a bubbling mechanism 8 is provided below the lifting surface of the lifting conveyor belt. The lifting surface is the side that mates with the bearing; in Figure 1, the lifting surface faces upwards and can be understood as the top surface of the conveyor belt. After the lifting conveyor belt passes over the drive sprocket 11, the lifting surface becomes the bottom surface of the conveyor belt, and it no longer contacts the cage. After the lifting conveyor belt passes over the driven sprocket 6 again, the lifting surface continues to lift the cage. Therefore, the bubbling mechanism is located below the lifting surface of the lifting conveyor belt.

[0051] When the bubbling mechanism 8 is working, it can generate large air bubbles. Under the action of these large air bubbles, the accumulated cages can be dispersed, preventing them from piling up and reducing the cleaning effect. Compared with spray cleaning, the bubbling mechanism 8 also helps to improve the cleaning effect. The bubbling mechanism 8 consists of coiled pipes with openings. Gas is filled into the pipes to achieve bubbling, as can be seen in the bubble cleaning machine section.

[0052] To further improve the cleaning effect, the cleaning tank 2 is equipped with ultrasonic transducers 9 on its inner wall. In this example, the ultrasonic transducers 9 are located on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 2 on both sides of the conveyor belt in the direction of transport. The ultrasonic transducers 9 are connected to an ultrasonic generator, which can generate numerous microbubbles in the cleaning tank, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0053] As shown in Figure 1, the third support frame 103 is inclined, and the demagnetizer 10 is mounted on the lifting mechanism outside the cleaning tank 2. When the lifting mesh belt of the first horizontal section of the lifting mechanism drives the retainer to lift, when it reaches the inclined section, the retainer can be demagnetized by the demagnetizer 10 under the drive of the lifting mesh belt. After demagnetization, the metal powder on the retainer no longer adheres to the retainer, so that the retainer is degreased and demagnetized at the same time. The residual magnetism on the retainer is completely removed and will no longer attract metal powder.

[0054] To further improve the degreasing and cleaning effect, as shown in Figures 2-4, the first support frame 101 is also provided with an overflow trough 17, which is arranged side by side with the cleaning trough 2 and shares the middle side plate 22.

[0055] As shown in Figure 3, the overflow trough 17 and other side plates of the cleaning trough 2, such as the cleaning trough side plate 21, are higher than the middle side plate. In this embodiment, the cleaning trough side plate 21 is provided in four groups, forming a rectangular structure. The middle side plate 22, which is lower in height, divides the cleaning trough and the overflow trough 17 into two parts. The height of the middle side plate is adapted to the height of the cleaning liquid surface 18.

[0056] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the side plate of the cleaning tank 2 away from the middle side plate 22 is the cleaning tank side plate 21. The overflow tank 17 is equipped with a circulation pump 16, which is connected to the overflow hole 211 at the top of the cleaning tank side plate 21 through the circulation pipe 161.

[0057] Overflow holes 211 are arranged horizontally at the top of the side plate 21 of the cleaning tank, and their height is higher than that of the middle side plate. The outlet of the circulation pipe 161 is connected to the inlet located on the outer side of the side plate 21 of the cleaning tank. The inlet is connected to multiple overflow holes 211 on the inner side of the side plate 21 of the cleaning tank through the branch channel structure inside the side plate 21 of the cleaning tank.

[0058] Specifically, the circulating pump 16 delivers the cleaning fluid in the overflow tank to the overflow hole 211, so that the cleaning fluid at the overflow hole 211 continuously flows back from the top to the cleaning tank 2, while the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank 2 continuously overflows into the overflow tank 17. This cycle is repeated to achieve the circulation of the cleaning fluid.

[0059] The circulating cleaning fluid, compared to a relatively stagnant cleaning fluid, improves the degreasing and cleaning effect, resulting in a smoother surface of the cage after cleaning. Furthermore, the circulation direction of the degreasing cleaning fluid is perpendicular to the lifting direction of the cage, preventing oil stains from adhering to the cage surface.

[0060] As shown in Figure 2, the frame is also equipped with an electrical control box 15, which is used to supply power to the device and control the operation of the entire device. The electrical control box is existing technology.

[0061] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
