[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model.

[0029] Reference Figures 1-5 A bit cleaning device includes: a housing 100; a drive seat 200 installed inside the housing 100, the drive seat 200 being configured to rotate within the housing 100; at least two cleaning rollers 300 installed inside the drive seat 200, the cleaning rollers 300 being configured to rotate within the drive seat 200 when the drive seat 200 rotates within the housing 100; and a battery 500 installed at the bottom of the housing 100.

[0030] In this embodiment, the drive base 200 is one of the core components of the cleaning device, mainly used to install and drive the cleaning rollers 300 to rotate. When the drive base 200 rotates, the cleaning rollers 300 rotate within the drive base 200, cleaning the surface of the bits. Multiple cleaning rollers 300 clean the bits placed in the cleaning tank 201 from different angles during rotation. The battery 500 is installed at the bottom of the housing 100, providing power to the entire cleaning device. The battery 500 has a certain capacity, sufficient to meet the power requirements of multiple cleaning operations. It can be charged via a charging interface for user convenience.

[0031] The cleaning roller 300 includes bristles 301 mounted on its outer ring. The bristles 301 are components that directly contact the surface of the bit for cleaning. The bristles 301 are typically made of a soft, wear-resistant, and elastic material, such as nylon. The density and length of the bristles 301 should be rationally designed according to cleaning needs to ensure effective removal of dust and impurities from the bit surface without damaging the bit.

[0032] The drive base 200 includes a cleaning tank 201, which is located at the top of the drive base 200, and the cleaning roller 300 is mounted on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 201.

[0033] The aforementioned cleaning tank 201 is located at the top of the drive base 200 and serves as the area for placing and cleaning screwdriver bits. A cleaning roller 300 is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 201. When the drive base 200 rotates, the cleaning roller 300 thoroughly cleans the screwdriver bits placed in the cleaning tank 201. The design dimensions of the cleaning tank 201 should be rationally planned according to the size of common screwdriver bits to ensure that the bits can be smoothly inserted and effectively cleaned.

[0034] The cleaning roller 300 includes: a first gear 302 disposed at the bottom of the drive seat 200, the cleaning roller 300 being connected to the first gear 302 via a rotating shaft; and a second gear 303 installed inside the housing 100, the second gear 303 being annular, and the first gear 302 meshing with the second gear 303.

[0035] When the drive base 200 rotates, the first gear 302 rotates together with the drive base 200. Since the first gear 302 meshes with the second gear 303, the rotation of the first gear 302 will drive the cleaning roller 300 to rotate within the drive base 200, thereby realizing the cleaning action of the bit.

[0036] The housing 100 includes: a connecting groove 101, which is formed on the housing 100; a drive seat 200 is installed in the connecting groove 101; and a second gear 303 is installed on the bottom wall of the connecting groove 101; and a power source 102, which is installed in the connecting groove 101; and the power shaft of the power source 102 is connected to the drive seat 200.

[0037] The power source 102 can be a servo motor or a stepper motor, providing power for the rotation of the drive seat 200. When the power source 102 is started, the power shaft drives the drive seat 200 to rotate within the connecting groove 101, thus enabling the entire cleaning process to proceed smoothly.

[0038] The drive base 200 further includes: a detection plate 203 disposed within the cleaning tank 201; a pressure sensor 202 installed on the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 201, the detection plate 203 being connected to the pressure sensor 202; a mounting groove 204 formed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 201; an adsorption plate 400 installed within the mounting groove 204, the adsorption plate 400 being used to adsorb iron filings; and an electromagnetic actuator 401 installed within the mounting groove 204, the electromagnetic actuator 401 being connected to the adsorption plate 400.

[0039] The aforementioned detection plate 203 is installed inside the cleaning tank 201 to detect whether the bit is properly positioned. The detection plate 203 is connected to a pressure sensor 202. When the bit is placed in the cleaning tank 201 and exerts pressure on the detection plate 203, the pressure sensor 202 transmits a signal to the control system. The control system can then determine that the bit is properly positioned based on this signal and initiate the cleaning program. The pressure sensor 202 is installed on the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 201 and connected to the detection plate 203. It accurately senses changes in pressure on the detection plate 203 and converts the pressure signal into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the control system. Through feedback from the pressure sensor 202, the device can achieve automated operation, improving cleaning efficiency and accuracy. The adsorption plate 400 is installed inside the mounting slot 204 and is mainly used to adsorb iron filings from the surface of the bit. The adsorption plate 400 is typically made of a magnetic material, capable of generating a strong magnetic field to attract iron filings to its surface. After the cleaning process is complete, the magnetism of the adsorption plate 400 can be removed by controlling the electromagnetic actuator 401, making it easy to clean the adsorbed iron filings.

[0040] During use, the cleaning device is turned on, and the used bit is placed in the cleaning groove 201 at the top of the drive base 200. When the bit is placed in the cleaning groove 201, it exerts pressure on the detection plate 203 located within the cleaning groove 201. The detection plate 203 is connected to a pressure sensor 202 installed on the bottom wall of the cleaning groove 201. When the detection plate 203 is subjected to pressure from the bit, the pressure sensor 202 can accurately sense this pressure change and convert the pressure signal into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the control system. Upon receiving the signal, the control system determines that the bit has been placed correctly.

[0041] After confirming that the bit is in place, the control system activates the power source 102 installed in the connecting groove 101 of the housing 100. The power source 102 can be a servo motor or a stepper motor. After activation, its drive shaft drives the drive seat 200 to rotate within the connecting groove 101. As the drive seat 200 rotates, the first gear 302 located at the bottom of the drive seat 200 rotates along with it. Since the first gear 302 meshes with the second gear 303, which is annularly mounted on the bottom wall of the connecting groove 101, the rotation of the first gear 302 drives the cleaning roller 300 to rotate synchronously within the drive seat 200. The outer ring of the cleaning roller 300 is equipped with bristles 301 made of a soft, wear-resistant, and elastic material (such as nylon). Multiple cleaning rollers 300 clean the surface of the bit placed in the cleaning groove 201 from different angles during rotation, effectively removing dust and impurities.

[0042] During the cleaning process, the adsorption plate 400 installed in the mounting groove 204 on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 201 generates magnetism due to the action of the electromagnetic actuator 401, effectively adsorbing iron filings on the surface of the bit, preventing the iron filings from re-adhering to the bit during cleaning, and reducing damage to the cleaning roller 300 and other internal components of the device. After the preset cleaning time or cleaning program is completed, the power source 102 stops working, and the drive base 200 and cleaning roller 300 stop rotating. The control system controls the electromagnetic actuator 401 to demagnetize the adsorption plate 400. The user opens the cleaning device and removes the cleaned bit. At the same time, since the magnetism of the adsorption plate 400 has disappeared, it is easy to clean the iron filings adsorbed on its surface, preparing for the next cleaning operation.

[0043] In summary, compared with existing technologies, it has the following beneficial effects:

[0044] Driven by the drive seat 200, multiple cleaning rollers 300 clean the bits from different angles. The soft and elastic bristles 301 on the outer ring can penetrate into the grooves, crevices and other small parts of the bits to effectively remove dust and impurities. The cooperation of the pressure sensor 202 and the control system improves the cleaning efficiency. The entire cleaning process is fast and continuous, and can complete the cleaning of multiple bits in a short time.

[0045] During the cleaning process, the adsorption plate 400 can adsorb iron filings in time, avoiding secondary contamination of the bit by iron filings residue. It effectively reduces the impact of iron filings and dust on the subsequent accuracy and stability of the bit, extends the service life of the bit, and ensures the high-quality performance of the bit in subsequent operations. The battery 500 power supply design makes the cleaning device not limited by the power source location, and can be used anytime and anywhere, which is convenient and quick.
