Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Reference Figures 1-4A gear cleaning device includes a frame, two cleaning tanks 1 fixed side by side at the bottom of the frame, an ultrasonic transducer 2 fixedly installed on the bottom outer wall of each of the two cleaning tanks 1, an ultrasonic generator 3 electrically connected to the ultrasonic transducer 2 fixedly installed on the frame, a horizontal frame 4 above the two cleaning tanks 1 on the frame, a first drive assembly for driving the horizontal frame 4 to move laterally on the frame, a support bracket 5 below the horizontal frame 4, and a second drive assembly for controlling the lifting and lowering of the support bracket 5 on the horizontal frame 4.

[0024] It also includes a reflux device, which includes a reflux box 6. The reflux box 6 is equipped with a purification component. The bottom of the cleaning box 1 is connected to a water outlet pipe 7. The water outlet pipe 7 is connected to a first drain pipe 8 and a second drain pipe 9 via a T-junction. The first drain pipe 8 and the second drain pipe 9 are respectively equipped with control valves. The other end of the first drain pipe 8 is located above the reflux box 6. The bottom of the reflux box 6 is connected to a reflux pipe 10. The reflux pipe 10 is equipped with a circulation pump 11. The other end of the reflux pipe 10 extends to the top of the cleaning box 1.

[0025] After cleaning, the cleaning solution / water in the cleaning tank 1 is discharged through the outlet pipe 7. It can be selectively discharged into the return tank 6 for recycling through the first drain pipe 8 or directly discharged through the second drain pipe 9. The purification component in the return tank 6 filters and purifies the returned cleaning solution / water, removing impurities and oil. The purified cleaning solution / water is then pumped back to the top of the cleaning tank 1 through the circulation pump 11 on the return pipe 10, realizing the recycling of the cleaning solution / water.

[0026] The purification assembly includes a filter cloth 12 and an oil adsorption sheet 13 fixed from top to bottom. The filter cloth 12 is used to trap impurity particles, while the oil adsorption sheet 13 is used to adsorb the oil components in the cleaning solution / clean water.

[0027] The support bracket 5 includes four uprights 501, and several partition plates 502 with hollow structures are fixed between the four uprights 501 at vertical intervals. The multiple partition plates 502 can support multiple gears, and the hollow structure allows cleaning liquid / water to penetrate and contact various parts of the gears.

[0028] A positioning sleeve 14 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the upright 501. The bottom of the positioning sleeve 14 has a tapered structure that is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. A positioning rod 15 that matches the inner diameter of the narrow end of the positioning sleeve 14 is fixedly provided inside the cleaning tank 1. When the support bracket 5 descends, the positioning rod 15 is inserted into the positioning sleeve 14 to ensure the stable position of the support bracket 5 in the cleaning tank 1. The structure of the positioning sleeve 14, which is wider at the bottom and narrower at the top, can guide the positioning rod 15 during insertion, which helps the positioning rod 15 to be inserted smoothly.

[0029] The first drive assembly includes a drive sprocket, a driven sprocket, a transmission chain 16, a first motor (not shown in the figure), a slide table 17, and a slide rail 18. The drive sprocket and the driven sprocket are rotatably mounted on the frame. The first motor is fixedly connected to the frame and drives the drive sprocket to rotate. The transmission chain 16 is sleeved on the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket. The horizontal frame 4 is fixedly connected to the transmission chain 16. The slide rail 18 is fixedly connected to the frame. The slide table 17 is fixed on the horizontal frame 4 and slides in cooperation with the slide rail 18. After the first motor starts, the transmission chain 16 drives the horizontal frame 4 under the action of the drive sprocket and the driven sprocket, thereby realizing the lateral movement of the horizontal frame 4. The horizontal frame 4 is stable when it is driven to move through the cooperation of the slide table 17 and the slide rail 18.

[0030] The second drive assembly includes a first rotating shaft 19 symmetrically rotatably connected to both sides of the horizontal frame 4. A winding belt 20 is symmetrically wound on the first rotating shaft 19. The lower end of the winding belt 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the support bracket 5. A second rotating shaft 21 is rotatably connected to the middle of the horizontal frame 4. One end of the second rotating shaft 21 is connected to a second motor that drives its rotation. Two drive wheels 22 are fixedly sleeved on the second rotating shaft 21. Driven wheels 23 are fixedly sleeved on the two first rotating shafts 19 respectively. A transmission belt 24 is sleeved between the two drive wheels 22 and the driven wheels 23 on both sides respectively. The second motor drives the second rotating shaft 21 and the drive wheels 22 on it to rotate. The transmission belt 24 drives the driven wheels 23 on both sides to rotate, thereby driving the first rotating shaft 19 to rotate to realize the winding belt 20 to be unwound and retracted, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the support bracket 5.

[0031] Working principle: When using this cleaning device, the gear to be cleaned is placed on the support bracket 5. The first drive component drives the horizontal frame 4 and the support bracket 5 below it to move laterally on the frame until they are directly above one of the cleaning tanks 1. Then, the second drive component controls the support bracket 5 to descend, immersing the gear in the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank 1. The ultrasonic generator 3 is activated, and the electrical signal generated by the ultrasonic generator 3 is converted into high-frequency mechanical vibration through the ultrasonic transducer 2. These vibrations are transmitted to the cleaning fluid, forming an ultrasonic cleaning effect, which effectively removes metal debris, oil stains and other impurities from the surface and grooves of the gear. After cleaning with the cleaning fluid, the first and second drive components are used again to transfer the support bracket 5 to another cleaning tank 1. The clean water in the cleaning tank 1 washes away the cleaning fluid from the surface of the gear.

[0032] This utility model flexibly moves the support bracket 5 between two cleaning tanks 1 by setting a first drive component and a second drive component, which can be used for preliminary cleaning and water rinsing respectively. It adopts ultrasonic cleaning method to achieve comprehensive, effective and rapid cleaning of gears. The support bracket 5 can clean batches of gears, ensuring cleaning efficiency.

[0033] The first motor, second motor, control valve, ultrasonic generator 3, and circulating pump 11 of this utility model are all electrically connected to the controller to achieve coordinated operation. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Furthermore, this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, so the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
