Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of auxiliary equipment for tool cleaning, and in particular to a tool storage rack for a tool cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern machining, end mills, as crucial cutting tools, are often coated with special coatings to enhance their wear resistance, hardness, and corrosion resistance. After the coating process, a cleaning process is indispensable to thoroughly remove residual impurities from the tool surface and ensure coating quality.

[0003] Currently, for the batch cleaning of cutting tools, the industry widely adopts the method of using pallets or storage racks. That is, by using pallets or storage racks to support the tools, a batch of cutting tools are immersed in the cleaning tank together to achieve surface cleaning.

[0004] However, existing technologies have significant drawbacks in the batch cleaning and transfer of cutting tools. When subjected to external forces such as vibration or collision, the cutting tools are prone to displacement within the tray or storage rack. This displacement not only leads to uneven cleaning of different parts of the cutting tool during the cleaning process, severely affecting the cleaning effect and thus reducing tool performance, but may also cause collisions between cutting tools, resulting in coating damage and significantly increasing production costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] To improve the stability of the storage rack for fixing knives, this application provides a knife storage rack for a knife cleaning device.

[0006] The tool storage rack for a tool cleaning device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A knife storage rack for a knife cleaning device includes a tray and a storage rack body. The storage rack body is cage-shaped and covers the tray. A connecting component is provided between the tray and the storage rack body. The surface of the tray has a plurality of positioning protrusions arranged in an array. The top of each positioning protrusion is recessed with a slot for engaging the knife shank. The storage rack body has a horizontally arranged metal mesh plate inside. The metal mesh plate has evenly distributed clearance holes corresponding to the positioning protrusions. The top of the knife protrudes through the clearance holes.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the tray is based on a flat metal plate with an array of positioning protrusions on its surface that conform to the shape of the tool shank. These protrusions precisely engage the tool shank, thus providing stable restraint for the tool in the horizontal direction. The main body of the storage rack adopts a square cage-like design, with dimensions matching the tray, and can completely cover the tray, providing all-around protection for the tool. The metal mesh plate has clearance holes corresponding to the positions of the positioning protrusions, ensuring smooth placement of the storage rack body and effectively limiting the tool in the vertical direction through the cooperation of the clearance holes and positioning protrusions. This design significantly improves the stability of the tool during cleaning and transportation, and greatly reduces the risk of tool damage due to vibration or impact.

[0009] Optionally, the metal mesh plate is provided with multiple layers, and a support strip is provided on the opposite side near the bottom of the storage rack body. A positioning post is provided on each corner of the metal mesh plate on the support strip. A vertically arranged right-angle groove is opened on the side wall of the positioning post facing the corresponding corner of the metal mesh plate. The end of the right-angle groove extends to the top wall of the positioning post. The metal mesh plate is inserted and limited in multiple positioning posts.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the multi-layer metal mesh plate design can significantly improve the space utilization of the tool storage rack, thereby meeting the storage needs of tools of different heights. Simultaneously, through the cooperation of support bars and positioning posts, the metal mesh plate achieves rapid installation and disassembly, facilitating adjustments to the number of layers and their positions according to actual needs. Furthermore, the structural design of the metal mesh plate being inserted and limited within the positioning posts improves its stability within the storage rack, effectively reducing displacement caused by vibration or collision, thereby enhancing the tool's fixation during the cleaning process and reducing the risk of coating damage.

[0011] Optionally, a pad is provided at the bottom of the corner of the metal mesh plate, and the top wall of the corner of the metal mesh plate below the pad is abutted against it.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, pads are placed at the bottom corners of the metal mesh plate, forming a stable support structure between the upper and lower layers of metal mesh plates. This not only effectively disperses the pressure on the metal mesh plate, reducing the possibility of deformation or damage due to excessive local stress, but also effectively reduces the possibility of displacement or tilting of multiple layers of metal mesh plates within the storage rack. This improves the stability of the blades during the cleaning process, reduces shaking caused by external forces, and further enhances the uniformity and stability of the cleaning effect.

[0013] Optionally, the connecting component includes a positioning element, which includes a guide post disposed at the inner corner of the tray and a positioning sleeve disposed on the main body of the storage rack. The positioning sleeve corresponds one-to-one with the guide post and is inserted into it.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning sleeve of the storage rack body can be accurately fitted onto the guide column during the descent of the storage rack body, realizing the initial positioning of the storage rack body and the pallet in the vertical and horizontal directions, thereby improving assembly efficiency and enhancing structural stability.

[0015] Optionally, the surface edge of the tray is provided with magnetic adsorption plates, each magnetic adsorption plate corresponding to a guide post and coaxially looped around the guide post. Each positioning sleeve has a magnetic positioning block on its bottom wall that is magnetically attracted to the magnetic adsorption plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the main body of the storage rack descends to the predetermined position, the magnetic positioning block will attract the magnetic adsorption sheet, thereby further improving the positioning accuracy between the main body of the storage rack and the tray, effectively reducing the possibility of slight movement of the main body of the storage rack in the horizontal direction, and further improving the stability of the overall structure.

[0017] Optionally, the connecting assembly further includes fasteners, which include a fixed bracket disposed on the inner edge of the tray and a hook disposed on the edge of the storage rack body. The fixed bracket has a groove, and a locking block is slidably disposed in the groove toward the hook. The top of the locking block has an inclined surface on the side facing the hook. An elastic element is disposed in the groove, located on the side of the locking block away from the hook, and abuts against the inner wall of the fixed bracket. The top of the fixed bracket is connected to the groove and has an insertion interface. The hook is L-shaped and is inserted into the groove vertically through the insertion interface. When the hook presses against the top wall of the fixed bracket, the bottom end of the hook is pressed and restricted within the groove by the locking block.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, when connecting the tray and the main body of the storage rack, the hook aligns with the insertion interface and is vertically inserted into the slide groove as the main body of the storage rack descends. As the hook is inserted, its bottom end presses against the inclined surface of the locking block, causing the locking block to move into the slide groove against the elastic force of the elastic element. When the hook is fully inserted and presses against the top wall of the fixed locking seat, the elastic element drives the locking block to reset, and the bottom of the locking block presses and restricts the bottom end of the hook within the slide groove, thereby achieving a quick and secure connection between the tray and the main body of the storage rack. This connection method is simple to operate, effectively improves assembly efficiency, ensures connection stability, reduces the possibility of the storage rack separating from the tray due to vibration or collision during cleaning, and improves the cleaning effect of the tools and the safety of the coating.

[0019] Optionally, a pull rope is connected to the side of the card block facing the elastic element. The free end of the pull rope slides through the elastic element, the side wall of the fixed card seat, and the tray in sequence, and extends outside the tray. A stop ball is provided on the end of the pull rope that extends outside the tray. When the elastic element is in its natural state, the stop ball is in contact with the outer side wall of the tray.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, without disassembling the storage rack, the pull rope overcomes the force of the elastic element, causing the locking block to disengage from the locking hook, thereby quickly separating the pallet from the main body of the storage rack. This simplifies the disassembly and assembly of the storage rack and the pallet, and improves ease of use.

[0021] Optionally, the metal mesh plate is coated with a polytetrafluoroethylene coating.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, coating the metal mesh plate with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating can significantly reduce the friction between the cutting tool and the metal mesh plate, thereby making the removal or placement of the cutting tool smoother and reducing surface damage to the cutting tool caused by friction. At the same time, the PTFE coating has excellent corrosion resistance, effectively preventing cleaning fluids from corroding the metal mesh plate and extending the service life of the storage rack.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] 1. The tray is based on a flat metal plate with an array of positioning protrusions on its surface that conform to the shape of the tool shank. These protrusions precisely engage the tool shank, providing stable horizontal restraint for the tool. The main body of the storage rack features a square cage design, its dimensions matching the tray, allowing it to completely cover the tray and provide all-around protection for the tool. The metal mesh plate has clearance holes corresponding to the positions of the positioning protrusions, ensuring smooth placement of the storage rack while also effectively limiting the tool's vertical movement through the interaction of the clearance holes and the positioning protrusions. This design significantly improves the stability of the tool during cleaning and transport, greatly reducing the risk of tool damage due to vibration or impact.

[0025] 2. The multi-layer metal mesh design significantly improves the space utilization of the tool storage rack, thus meeting the storage needs of tools of different heights. Simultaneously, through the cooperation of support bars and positioning posts, the metal mesh plate enables quick installation and disassembly, facilitating adjustments to the number of layers and their positions as needed. Furthermore, the structural design of the metal mesh plate being inserted and limited within the positioning posts enhances its stability within the storage rack, effectively reducing displacement caused by vibration or collision, thereby improving tool fixation during the cleaning process and reducing the risk of coating damage.

[0026] 3. Pads are placed at the bottom corners of the metal mesh panels to create a stable support structure between the upper and lower layers. This not only effectively distributes the pressure on the metal mesh panels, reducing the possibility of deformation or damage due to excessive local stress, but also effectively reduces the possibility of displacement or tilting of multiple layers of metal mesh panels within the storage rack. This improves the stability of the blades during the cleaning process, reduces shaking caused by external forces, and further enhances the uniformity and stability of the cleaning effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0033] This application discloses a knife storage rack for a knife cleaning device.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A knife storage rack for a knife cleaning device includes a tray 1 and a storage rack body 2. The surface of the tray 1 has an array of positioning protrusions 11, each protrusion 11 having a recessed slot 111 at its top for engaging the handle of a knife 01. The storage rack body 2 is cage-shaped and covers the tray 1. The interior of the storage rack body 2 has multiple layers of horizontally arranged metal mesh plates 3, each coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Each layer of metal mesh plate 3 has evenly distributed clearance holes 31 corresponding to the positioning protrusions 11, through which the top of the knife 01 protrudes. A connecting assembly 4 is provided between the tray 1 and the storage rack body 2.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The tray 1 is made of aluminum alloy and its surface is anodized to improve corrosion resistance. The positioning protrusion 11 can be fixed to the tray 1 by injection molding. The positioning protrusion 11 is cylindrical in shape and supported by polyoxymethylene (POM) or nylon material. It has good wear resistance and self-lubricating properties, which can reduce the friction when the tool 01 is inserted into and removed from the slot 111.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 The main body 2 of the storage rack is welded from stainless steel pipes, and has an overall rectangular cage-like structure. Reinforcing ribs 21 are welded to the top and bottom of the main body 2 to improve overall rigidity and impact resistance.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The connecting component 4 between the storage rack body 2 and the tray 1 includes positioning elements 41 and fasteners 42. The positioning element 41 includes guide posts 411 and positioning sleeves 412. The guide posts 411 are fixedly installed at the four corners inside the tray 1 and are cylindrical in shape. The positioning sleeves 412 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the storage rack body 2, corresponding one-to-one with the guide posts 411 and engaging with them. The top of the guide posts 411 is hemispherical to facilitate guidance when the positioning sleeves 412 are fitted.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Magnetic adsorption plates 5 are also fixedly installed on the edge of the surface of the tray 1. The magnetic adsorption plates 5 correspond one-to-one with the guide posts 411 and are coaxially ringed around the guide posts 411. Each positioning sleeve 412 has a magnetic positioning block 4121 fixedly installed on its bottom wall, which is magnetically attracted to the magnetic adsorption plates 5. This design can increase stability after initial positioning.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The fastener 42 includes a fixing bracket 421 and a hook 422. The fixing bracket 421 is fixedly disposed on the edges of both sides inside the tray 1, and has a groove 4211 inside. A locking block 6 is slidably disposed in the groove 4211 facing the hook 422. The top of the locking block 6 has an inclined surface on the side facing the hook 422. An elastic element 7 is disposed in the groove 4211. In this embodiment, the elastic element 7 is an elastic arc sheet, located on the side of the locking block 6 away from the hook 422, and abuts against the inner wall of the fixing bracket 421. The top of the fixed card holder 421 is connected to the slide groove 4211 and has an insertion interface 4212. The hook 422 is L-shaped and welded to the edge of the storage rack body 2. The hook 422 is inserted into the slide groove 4211 vertically from the insertion interface 4212. When the hook 422 is pressed against the top wall of the fixed card holder 421, the bottom end of the hook 422 is pressed and restricted in the slide groove 4211 by the card block 6.

[0040] Reference Figure 3To facilitate disassembly, a pull rope 8 is connected to the side of the locking block 6 facing the elastic element 7. The free end of the pull rope 8 slides through the elastic arc plate, the side wall of the fixed locking seat 421 and the side wall of the tray 1 in sequence, and extends to the outside of the tray 1. A stop ball 81 is fixedly installed on the end of the pull rope 8 that extends outside the tray 1. When the elastic element 7 is in its natural state, the stop ball 81 is in contact with the outer side wall of the tray 1.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 To accommodate the size of the tool 01 and adjust the number of metal mesh plates 3 as needed, horizontally arranged support bars 22 are welded to the four sides near the bottom of the storage rack body 2. On the two support bars 22 on opposite sides, a positioning post 9 is fixedly installed at each corner of the metal mesh plate 3. Each positioning post 9 has a vertically arranged right-angled groove 91 on its side wall facing the corresponding corner of the metal mesh plate 3. The end of the right-angled groove 91 extends to the top wall of the positioning post 9, and the metal mesh plates 3 are collectively inserted and limited within the multiple positioning posts 9. Furthermore, a pad 32 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the corner of the metal mesh plate 3, with the top wall of the lower metal mesh plate 3 abutting against the pad 32. This design avoids direct contact between the metal mesh plates 3, reducing wear.

[0042] The implementation principle of the knife storage rack for a knife cleaning device according to this application embodiment is as follows: the knife 01 is initially fixed by the positioning protrusion 11 on the tray 1, and the clearance holes 31 of the metal mesh plate 3 further restrict the movement range of the knife 01. At the same time, the storage rack body 2 and the tray 1 are provided with a stable connection through the insertion and cooperation of the positioning sleeve 412 and the guide post 411, and the clamping and fixing between the hook 422 and the locking block 6. This multi-layer fixing method significantly improves the stability of the knife 01 during the cleaning process, reduces displacement problems caused by vibration or collision, and thus ensures the cleaning effect and coating quality.

[0043] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
