Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of machining technology, and more specifically, it relates to a convenient parts cleaning tank. Background Technology

[0002] Cleaning tanks are typically used to hold cleaning solutions, enabling an immersion cleaning method where impurities on items are steadily washed away by the cleaning solution.

[0003] Machining refers to the process of changing the shape, size, or properties of a workpiece using mechanical equipment. Based on the processing method, it can be divided into cutting and pressure processing. Cutting processes typically involve a large amount of chips, which, as waste, need to be removed from the parts. Existing technologies offer various methods for chip removal, one of which involves using cutting fluid in a cleaning tank to wash the chips off the parts. During this process, the chips usually accumulate in the cleaning tank. To ensure the stability of the cleaning tank's function, the chips need to be cleaned periodically. However, because the chips are soaked in cutting fluid for extended periods, they often contain a large amount of cutting fluid during cleaning, making the chip removal process inconvenient. Therefore, a solution is needed to address the inconvenience of using existing cleaning tanks for some parts.

[0004] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address this problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a convenient parts cleaning tank.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: The convenient parts cleaning tank includes a hollow tank body with an open top. The tank body is provided with two independent cleaning chambers. Each of the two cleaning chambers is detachably connected to a filter element with an open top and communicating with the cleaning chamber. A support plate is rotatably connected to the tank body and located above its liquid surface. The support plate can be rotated and moved to be directly above the cleaning chamber for placing the filter element. The liquid outlet of the filter element located above the support plate faces the opening of the cleaning chamber on the other side.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: a vertically arranged partition plate is fixedly connected inside the tank, the partition plate divides the interior of the tank into the aforementioned cleaning chamber, a rotating rod rotatably connected to the support plate is fixedly connected to the partition plate, and a limiting member that can abut against the upper edge of the tank is rotatably connected to the partition plate on the side away from the rotating rod.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the cross-sectional shape along the length direction of the limiting member is L-shaped, the bottom of the limiting member is fixedly connected to a limiting block, and a first clearance groove for the limiting block to pass through is provided on the top surface of the partition plate.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: a second clearance groove is formed inwardly on the side wall of the filter element for the limiting member to pass through.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that: the filter element that abuts against the partition plate has a plurality of vertically arranged liquid outlet grooves, the bottom edge of the liquid outlet grooves located on the bottom side is flush with the inner bottom surface of the filter element, and a filter screen plate for sealing the plurality of liquid outlet grooves is fixedly connected to the filter element.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that an auxiliary force-applying groove is provided on the filter element near the top opening.

[0012] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The outlet of the filter element located above the support plate faces the opening of the cleaning chamber on the other side. The filter element placed on the support plate separates the chips and cutting fluid, allowing the cutting fluid to flow steadily out of the filter element and back into the cleaning chamber of the tank, realizing the recovery and reuse of the cutting fluid. At the same time, it reduces the amount of cutting fluid contained in the chips collected in the filter element, reducing the impact of the cutting fluid on the chip cleaning process. In addition, when one side of the filter element needs cleaning, the other side of the filter element can be used normally, reducing the impact of the chip cleaning process on the overall use of the structure, making the overall structure more convenient to use.

[0019] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] This convenient parts cleaning tank, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the structure includes a hollow tank 1 with an open top. The tank 1 contains two independent cleaning chambers 2. Each cleaning chamber 2 has a detachably connected filter element 3 with an open top and connected to it. A support plate 4 is rotatably connected to the tank 1 above the liquid surface. The support plate 4 can rotate to be positioned directly above the cleaning chamber 2 for the filter element 3 to be placed. The outlet of the filter element 3 above the support plate 4 faces the opening of the other cleaning chamber 2. The filter element 3 placed on the support plate 4 separates the chips and cutting fluid, allowing the cutting fluid to flow steadily out of the filter element 3 and back into the cleaning chamber 2 of the tank 1, thus achieving the recovery and reuse of the cutting fluid. This also reduces the amount of cutting fluid in the chips collected in the filter element 3, minimizing the impact of the cutting fluid on the chip cleaning process. Furthermore, when one filter element 3 needs cleaning, the other filter element 3 can still be used normally, reducing the impact of the chip cleaning process on the overall structural use and making the overall structure more convenient to use.

[0021] like Figures 2-4 As shown, a vertically arranged partition plate 5 is fixedly connected to the tank 1 by welding. The partition plate 5 divides the interior of the tank 1 into the cleaning chamber 2. A rotating rod 6, which is rotatably connected to the partition plate 5, is fixedly connected to the support plate 4. A limiting member 7, which can abut against the upper edge of the tank 1, is rotatably connected to the partition plate 5 on the side away from the rotating rod 6. The limiting member 7 abuts against the tank 1 to achieve stable support and limiting of the support plate 4, making the position of the support plate 4 and its function more stable.

[0022] like Figures 2-4As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the limiting member 7 along its length is L-shaped. The bottom of the limiting member 7 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 8 by welding. The limiting block 8 is used to stably limit the relative position between the limiting member 7 and the support plate 4, preventing the limiting member 7 from slipping off the support plate 4. This ensures that the position of the limiting member 7 and its limiting function are more stable. By abutting the limiting member 7 against the upper edge of the tank 1 and the limiting block 8 against the support plate 4, the limiting member 7 can stably support and limit the support plate 4, thereby ensuring that the support plate 4 can stably support and limit the filter element 3 placed on it. This allows the cutting fluid inside the filter element 3 to be stably filtered out and returned to the tank 1 and the cleaning chamber 2, realizing the recycling and reuse of the cutting fluid used for cleaning. The top surface of the partition plate 5 is provided with a first clearance groove 9 for the limit block 8 to pass through. The first clearance groove 9 is used to provide stable clearance for the rotation process of the support plate 4, ensuring that the support plate 4 can be stably moved from above the cleaning chamber 2 on one side to above the cleaning chamber 2 on the other side by rotation. This allows the support plate 4 to support the filter element 3 while also preventing the support plate 4 from affecting the disassembly and installation process of the filter element 3, so that the disassembly and installation process of the filter element 3 can be stably realized.

[0023] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the side wall of the filter element 3 is recessed inward to form a second clearance groove 10 for the limiting member 7 to pass through. The filter element 3, which abuts against the partition plate 5, has several vertically arranged liquid outlet grooves 11. The bottom edge of the liquid outlet groove 11 located on the bottom side is flush with the inner bottom surface of the filter element 3. This arrangement ensures that the cutting fluid remaining in the filter element 3 can flow out of the filter element 3 fully through the liquid outlet grooves 11, reducing the amount of cutting fluid remaining in the filter element 3. This makes the process of cleaning up accumulated chips convenient and also enables the stable recovery and reuse of cutting fluid. The filter element 3 is fixedly connected by welding to a filter screen plate 12 for blocking the liquid outlet grooves 11. The filter screen plate 12 is used to filter the cutting fluid and chips, so that the cutting fluid in the filter element 3 can flow out stably from the liquid outlet grooves 11 through the mesh on the filter screen plate 12 and flow back stably into the tank body 1.

[0024] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, an auxiliary force groove 13 is provided on the filter element 3 near the top opening. With the help of the auxiliary force groove 13, the user can apply force to the filter element 3 through the auxiliary force groove 13, making it more convenient for the user to remove the filter element 3, and making the cleaning of chips and the overall use of the structure more convenient.
