Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve cleaning technology, and specifically to a cleaning device for a flux valve. Background Technology
[0002] The flux valve of a casting machine is an electromagnetically controlled industrial device used to control the flow rate of the casting slurry, thereby controlling the liquid level in the casting machine's hopper. Therefore, the flux valve is an important component at the front end of the casting equipment. If there are impurities in the flux valve or it is not cleaned properly, impurities and small particles will appear in the casting slurry, resulting in uneven surface of the cast green body and the appearance of raised particles on the surface, which will significantly reduce the yield of the cast green body. Therefore, the flux valve of the casting machine needs to be cleaned after casting.
[0003] Currently, most methods for cleaning flux valves are as follows:
[0004] One method involves first rolling a cleaning cloth into a cylindrical shape, inserting it into one end of the magnetic valve, squeezing out most of the residual slurry, and then wetting absorbent paper with alcohol, rolling it into a cylindrical shape, and repeatedly wiping the magnetic valve to clean the residual slurry in the valve body. However, this method has poor cleaning effect, and the protruding part of the ball valve in the magnetic valve cannot be cleaned. After a long time, slurry clumps will appear.
[0005] Another method is to squeeze out most of the residual slurry in the flux valve, separate the valve body and valve core, and place them in an ultrasonic cleaning instrument for soaking and cleaning. However, disassembling and reinstalling the flux valve is more troublesome, and there is also a risk of slurry overflow due to loose installation during reinstallation. Utility Model Content

[0022] The following describes the embodiments and appendices. Figures 1-5 The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] A cleaning device for a flux valve includes a valve body 1 and a cleaning device 2. The valve body 1 has mounting flanges 11 on both sides. The cleaning device 2 includes a cleaning section 21 and a collection section 22. The cleaning section 21 includes a mounting pipe 211, an ultrasonic transducer 212 fixedly installed inside the mounting pipe 211, and a mounting flange 213 installed on the end face of the mounting pipe 211. The collection section 22 includes a collection box 221 and a connecting pipe 222. The upper end of the collection box 221 is provided with a sliding groove 2211 and a filter screen is provided inside. A sealing plate 223 is slidably installed in the sliding groove 2211. The mounting pipe 211 and the connecting pipe 222 are respectively connected to both ends of the collection box 221.
[0025] like Figures 1-5As shown, in actual use, absorbent paper is first rolled into a cylindrical shape, allowing it to just fit into the magnetic flux valve from one side and out from the other. At this point, most of the slurry inside the magnetic flux valve is squeezed out by the absorbent paper. Next, another piece of absorbent paper is moistened with isopropyl alcohol, rolled into a cylindrical shape, and used to repeatedly wipe the inner channel of the magnetic flux valve. Then, the mounting flanges 11 on both sides of the valve body 1 are connected to the mounting flanges 213 of the cleaning device 2, ensuring that the valve body 1 is securely installed on the mounting pipe 211 of the cleaning section 21. Next, the ultrasonic transducer 212 is activated, using the generated ultrasonic vibrations to clean the valve body 1. The ultrasonic vibrations effectively remove dirt and impurities from the surface of the valve body 1, improving the cleaning effect. During the cleaning process, the waste liquid and impurities generated flow into the collection box 221 through the connecting pipe 222. The filter screen inside the collection box 221 filters the waste liquid, separating the solid impurities. After cleaning, the ultrasonic transducer 212 is turned off, and the valve body 1 is disassembled for further processing. At the same time, the waste liquid and filtered impurities in the collection box 221 can be centrally treated to avoid environmental pollution.
[0026] A sealing plate 223 is slidably installed on the upper side of the collection box 221, which facilitates the disassembly of the filter screen inside the box and improves maintenance efficiency.
[0027] Alternatively, a circulation pump can be connected to the end of the collection section 22 via a pipeline, and the cleaning fluid can be circulated and cleaned within the magnetic valve and pipeline through the circulation pump. The circulation pump is preferably a peristaltic pump.

The lower end of the locking bolt 22112 can abut against the upper end of the sealing plate 223.
[0029] Specifically, when it is necessary to fix the position of the sealing plate 223, the lower end of the locking bolt 22112 is tightened to tightly abut against the upper end of the sealing plate 223, thereby firmly fixing the sealing plate 223 in the groove 2211 and ensuring the stability of the sealing plate 223 during use.
[0030] As a further preferred embodiment, the sealing plate 223 is provided with a circular groove 2231, which is correspondingly provided with the locking hole 22111.
[0031] Specifically, when the locking bolt 2212 is tightened, its lower end can extend into the circular groove 2231 and abut against the upper end of the sealing plate 223, ensuring that the sealing plate 223 is fixed in position within the slide groove 2211, preventing the sealing plate 223 from shifting due to vibration or external force, and improving the sealing performance and stability of the collection box 221.
[0032] As a further preferred embodiment, a sealing ring 2214 is provided at the upper end of the collection box 221.
[0033] Specifically, the sealing ring 2214 is made of weather-resistant rubber material, which has good elasticity and sealing performance. It can effectively fill the tiny gap between the collection box 221 and the sealing plate 223, prevent the waste liquid from leaking during the collection process, and ensure the sealing of the entire cleaning device.
[0034] As a further preferred embodiment, the ultrasonic transducer 212 includes an ultrasonic transducer body 2121, an upper flange 2122, a lower flange 2123, and a buffer gasket 2124. A flange positioning ring 21211 is provided at the lower end of the ultrasonic transducer body 2121. The buffer gasket 2124 is provided on the upper side of the flange positioning ring 21211. The upper flange 2122 and the lower flange 2123 are respectively sleeved on the outside of the ultrasonic transducer body 2121 and located at the upper and lower ends of the flange positioning ring 21211 and are fixed by bolts. A connecting rod 31 is provided on the outside of the upper flange 2122 and the lower flange 2123. The connecting rod 31 is connected to the inner wall of the mounting tube 211.
[0035] Specifically, the ultrasonic transducer 212 adopts a multi-component integrated design to ensure stable operation and efficient cleaning. Its core is the ultrasonic transducer body 2121, with a flange positioning ring 21211 at its lower end and a buffer washer 2124 on its upper side to effectively reduce vibration and protect the equipment. The upper flange 2122 and lower flange 2123 are located above and below the flange positioning ring 21211, respectively, and are fitted onto the ultrasonic transducer body 2121 and locked with bolts. The connecting rod 31 connects the upper flange 2122, lower flange 2123, and the inner wall of the mounting pipe 211, ensuring the ultrasonic transducer 212 is securely installed and transmits ultrasonic vibrations for efficient cleaning of the valve body.
[0036] As a further preferred embodiment, a wiring pipe 2111 is provided through the mounting pipe 211, and a sealing element is provided inside the wiring pipe 2111.
[0037] Specifically, the conduit 2111 is used to accommodate and protect the electrical connection wires of the ultrasonic transducer 212, ensuring the safety and stability of the electrical connection. The sealing element is usually made of rubber or silicone, which can effectively prevent liquid from overflowing from the conduit 2111.
