[0031] Example 1:
[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a gear cleaning device includes:
[0033] Water supply mechanism 3 and cleaning mechanism 1 mounted on top of water supply mechanism 3, and conveying mechanism 2 mounted inside cleaning mechanism 1;
[0034] The water supply system 3 includes a water storage tank 31, and the water storage tank 31 has a water storage chamber 36 and a collection chamber 37 respectively inside;
[0035] The cleaning mechanism 1 includes a cleaning box 11 fixedly installed on the top of the water storage tank 31. A cleaning cover 13 is installed inside the cleaning box 11 via a vibration spring 14. Cleaning brushes 17 and nozzles 18 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the cleaning cover 13.
[0036] The conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveyor frame 23 that runs through the cleaning hood 13 and the cleaning box 11. A conveyor belt 25 is installed around the periphery of the conveyor frame 23 via an electric rotating wheel 24. The surface of the conveyor belt 25 is arc-shaped.
[0037] As can be seen from the above, when using the gears, multiple gear components are sequentially placed on the conveyor belt 25. The gravity of the gear components allows the conveyor belt 25 to support the top of the inner ring of the gear components, leaving the bottom of the inner ring suspended. The arc shape of the surface of the conveyor belt 25 allows it to easily fit against the inner ring surface of the gear components, increasing the contact area. This facilitates the conveying operation of the gear components by the conveyor belt 25. By conveying the gear components into the cleaning hood 13, the cleaning brush 17 and the nozzle 18 can wrap around the gear components. The movement of the gear components allows the cleaning brush 17 to thoroughly clean the tooth grooves, and the nozzle 18 can spray cleaning fluid to rinse the gear components.
[0038] By continuously conveying the gear components, the cleaned gear components can be moved to the other end of the conveyor mechanism 2. By making the conveyor belt 25 rotate in the opposite direction, the gear components can be easily driven to move back and forth, which can facilitate the secondary cleaning operation of the gear components, effectively improving the cleaning effect. It avoids the need for manual brushing or single-station soaking cleaning, which requires operation on each piece. It saves time and effort, can adapt to the batch processing rhythm, and brings more convenience to the cleaning and processing of gears.
[0039] During the cleaning process of the gear parts by the cleaning hood 13, the vibration force generated during the operation of the whole device can be used to make the cleaning hood 13 vibrate in multiple directions through the elastic action of the vibration spring 14. This allows the cleaning brush 17 and the nozzle 18 to vibrate and brush the gear parts, which can easily clean the stubborn stains on the surface of the gear parts and enhance the cleaning effect.
[0040] Depend on Figure 4 and Figure 7 It can be seen that a water pump 34 is fixedly installed on the top of the water storage tank 31, and a delivery pipe 35 connects the water pump 34 and the cleaning cover 13.
[0041] As can be seen from the above, since the interior of the cleaning hood 13 is a cavity, the cleaning fluid stored in the water storage chamber 36 can be easily drawn out by the water pump 34, and can be easily transported to the cavity inside the cleaning hood 13 by the delivery pipe 35, so that the cleaning fluid can be sprayed out through the nozzle 18. The delivery pipe 35 is made of flexible material, so it does not affect the vibration of the cleaning hood 13.
[0042] For details, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the top of the water storage tank 31 is provided with a water guide hole 38 that communicates with the collection chamber 37, and the water guide hole 38 and the cleaning tank 11 are interconnected.
[0043] As can be seen from the above, the wastewater generated after cleaning can flow into the cleaning tank 11, and the wastewater in the cleaning tank 11 can be easily guided into the collection chamber 37 for collection using the water guide hole 38.
[0044] For details, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the top of the water storage tank 31 is provided with a water inlet 32 corresponding to the water storage chamber 36, and the front end of the water storage tank 31 is provided with a drain outlet 33 corresponding to the collection chamber 37.
[0045] As can be seen from the above, the cleaning fluid can be easily injected into the water storage chamber 36 through the water inlet 32 for storage, and the cleaning fluid in the water storage chamber 36 can be easily drawn out to rinse the gear parts. The wastewater collected in the collection chamber 37 can be easily discharged through the drain outlet 33, which facilitates the recycling and treatment of wastewater and avoids the situation of random discharge causing pollution to the surrounding environment.
[0046] Example 2:
[0047] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the front end of the cleaning box 11 is provided with an observation window 12, and the two sides of the cleaning box 11 are provided with openings 15 for the conveying mechanism 2 to pass through. Rubber curtains 16 arranged in a ring array are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the openings 15.
[0048] As can be seen from the above, the cleaning status inside the cleaning box 11 can be easily observed through the observation window 12, making it easy to understand the cleaning status of the gear parts. The opening 15 allows the conveyor belt 25 to easily drive the gear parts into the cleaning box 11. The rubber curtain 16 can easily cover the opening 15 to prevent water generated during internal cleaning from splashing to the outside.
[0049] refer to Figure 5 As shown, the conveyor frame 23 is fixedly installed on one side of the cleaning box 11 by a fixing frame 21, and a collection box 22 is placed between the fixing frames 21.
[0050] As can be seen from the above, the fixed frame 21 can be used to fix one end of the conveyor frame 23, so that the conveyor frame 23 can pass through and be suspended inside the cleaning box 11 and the cleaning cover 13. This allows the gear parts to be transported along the conveyor belt 25 without obstruction. The collection box 22 can be used to collect the water droplets that fall from the gear parts that have moved outside the cleaning box 11, preventing water droplets from falling to the ground and causing pollution to the environment.
[0051] refer to Figure 6 As shown, a movable plate 26 is slidably installed inside the conveyor frame 23, and a support spring 28 is fixedly installed between the movable plate 26 and the conveyor frame 23. A support wheel 27 corresponding to the conveyor belt 25 is rotatably installed on the top of the movable plate 26.
[0052] As can be seen from the above, the support spring 28 can support the movable plate 26, allowing the movable plate 26 to move up and down. The support wheel 27 can roll the conveyor belt 25, allowing the conveyor belt 25 to easily support the gear components for conveying operations. The vibration generated during the operation of the entire device can cause the movable plate 26 to move up and down, which can drive the gear components to jump up and down synchronously. Combined with the vibration of the cleaning cover 13, the gear components and the cleaning brush 17 can move relative to each other, allowing the cleaning brush 17 to easily clean the stubborn stains on the surface of the gear components, avoiding incomplete cleaning.
[0053] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
