Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pipe cutting machine cleaning devices, and in particular to a guide rail cleaning device for a pipe cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Current pipe cutting machine guide rail cleaning technology faces multiple challenges in practical applications, mainly manifested in complex cleaning processes, difficulty in maintaining results, and potential environmental hazards. Traditional cleaning methods heavily rely on manual operation, requiring workers to frequently stop the machine and use simple scrapers or cotton cloths to physically wipe the guide rail surface. This is not only inefficient but also prone to scratching the guide rail surface due to uneven operating force. During the cutting process, metal shavings and lubricating grease easily clump together under high temperatures, making it difficult for conventional tools to thoroughly remove stubborn dirt embedded in the guide rail gaps. Residual hard particles repeatedly rub against the guide rail working surface during equipment operation, accelerating mechanical wear and potentially causing a decrease in transmission system precision due to increased local resistance. In high-speed cutting or dusty operating environments, the mixture of splashed metal dust and oil mist is more likely to form a hardened layer in guide rail grooves and bearing connections, creating blind spots that are difficult to reach manually. Long-term accumulation may lead to problems such as guide rail jamming and abnormal operating noises.

[0003] It is evident that existing technologies still need improvement and enhancement. Utility Model Content

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a guide rail cleaning device for a pipe cutting machine, which includes a frame 1, on which a drive mechanism 2 and a cleaning mechanism 3 are installed. In this embodiment, the frame 1, along with the entire cleaning device, moves along the guide rail of the pipe cutting machine to clean the entire guide rail. The drive mechanism 2 is used to drive the entire cleaning device to move automatically along the guide rail, and the cleaning mechanism 3 cleans the guide rail during the movement, thereby achieving automatic cleaning, replacing manual operation, and improving cleaning efficiency and effect.

[0035] The frame 1 is provided with a first slider 11 and a second slider 12. The first slider 11 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 4 of the pipe cutter, and the second slider 12 is slidably connected to the second guide rail 5 of the pipe cutter. In this embodiment, the first slider 11 and the second slider 12 are both located behind the cleaning mechanism 3 in the forward direction, so that when the cleaning device moves forward, the first slider 11 and the second slider 12 are in contact with the first guide rail 4 and the second guide rail 5 that have been cleaned, which can prevent the cleaning device from getting stuck when moving on the guide rail.

[0036] The drive mechanism 2 includes a motor 21 and a traveling gear 22 driven by the motor 21. The traveling gear 22 is meshed with the rack 6 of the pipe cutter.

The handle of the second brush 34 is fixedly connected to the central shaft of the second driven gear 25. In this embodiment, the first brush 33 cleans the side of the first guide rail 4 away from the rack 6, and the second brush 34 cleans the side of the first guide rail 4 and the rack 6 close to each other. The bristles at the upper ends of the first brush 33 and the second brush 34 meet on the top surface of the first guide rail 4 and clean the top surface of the first guide rail 4. While the motor 21 drives the walking gear 22 to rotate and mesh with the rack 6 to move forward, the first brush 33 and the second brush 34 are driven to rotate to clean the first guide rail 4 and the rack 6, achieving the effect of cleaning while moving, thus improving cleaning efficiency and effect.

[0041] Please see Figures 2 to 3 As shown, the cleaning brush 31 also includes a third brush 35, which is fixedly installed on the side of the second substrate 14 near the second guide rail 5.

[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 3As shown, a dust cover 15 is provided on the frame 1. The dust cover 15 covers the cleaning brush 31 to prevent dust and debris raised by the cleaning brush 31 from flying into the workshop environment. In this embodiment, the dust cover 15 is connected to the first substrate 13 and the second substrate 14 by screws. Except for the motor 21, all other components of the drive mechanism 2 are located inside the dust cover 15 to prevent dust and debris from falling between the gears and affecting the transmission effect. The dust cover 15 covers the cleaning brush 31, so that the dust and debris raised by the cleaning brush 31 are confined within the dust cover 15, making it easy for the mini vacuum cleaner 32 to suck them away, while avoiding secondary pollution to the workshop environment.

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the miniature vacuum cleaner 32 is mounted on the side of the second base plate 14 away from the second guide rail 5 and is connected to two suction heads 36. Both suction heads 36 are installed inside the dust cover 15 and correspond to the positions of the first guide rail 4 and the second guide rail 5, respectively. In this embodiment, the two suction heads 36 are connected to the suction port of the miniature vacuum cleaner 32 by flexible hoses. The two suction heads 36 separately vacuum the first guide rail 4, the rack 6, and the second guide rail 5, improving dust removal efficiency.

[0044] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the mini vacuum cleaner 32 is detachably equipped with a dust collection box 37, which is used to collect dust and debris sucked up by the two suction heads 36. In this embodiment, the dust and debris sucked up by the suction heads 36 by the mini vacuum cleaner 32 will eventually be collected in the dust collection box 37 and then emptied into a designated processing device. The dust collection box 37 is detachable, making it more convenient to clean.

[0045] In summary, this utility model uses the motor 21 of the drive mechanism 2 to drive the walking gear 22 to rotate and mesh with the rack 6 on the pipe cutter, and move along the rack 6 to move the entire cleaning device. During the movement, the cleaning brush 31 sweeps the guide rail of the pipe cutter, removing the dust and debris attached to the guide rail. The mini vacuum cleaner 32 sucks away the dust and debris, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the guide rail, reducing the difficulty of cleaning, and improving the cleaning efficiency and effect.
