Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gear storage technology, specifically to a cleaning container for differential half-shaft gears. Background Technology
[0002] During the machining process, oil stains adhere to the surface of the half-shaft gear, affecting the welding operation. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the surface of the half-shaft gear. During the cleaning process, it is necessary to ensure that the tray holding the half-shaft gear does not scratch the gear surface. At the same time, it must be able to dry quickly after cleaning to meet the requirements of laser welding operations.
[0003] In existing technologies, holes are usually made in the material tray to hold the half-shaft gears. These holes mate with the gears of the half-shaft gears. However, there are many contact surfaces between the material tray and the half-shaft gears, making it difficult to dry quickly after cleaning. Alternatively, the half-shaft gears can be placed in a perforated mesh basket. However, this type of mesh basket cannot individually limit the movement of the half-shaft gears. Therefore, during the process of moving the mesh basket or cleaning the half-shaft gears inside the mesh basket, the half-shaft gears are prone to collisions, which can damage them and affect subsequent welding processes. Summary of the Invention

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Unless otherwise specified, the technical means used in the implementation examples are conventional means well known to those skilled in the art.
[0026] refer to Figures 1-4 This utility model discloses a cleaning container for differential half-shaft gears, including a hollowed-out holding frame. Support members 1 are provided on the holding frame, with two adjacent parallel support members 1 forming a group. Multiple groups of support members 1 are provided on the holding frame, and each group of support members 1 has multiple limiting holes 2, with the limiting holes 2 on two support members 1 corresponding to each other. A pad is provided on the corresponding side of each group of support members 1. It should be noted that there is a certain gap between each group of support members 1, so that after the half-shaft gear is placed on the support member, the half-shaft gears in each group are separated. The pad is a Teflon pad to prevent the support members from scratching the gear plane of the half-shaft gear. The shape of the pad is the same as that of the support member, and it is provided on the corresponding side of each group of two support members. Specifically, multiple through holes are provided on the support member, and the pad and the support member are fixed by bolts. The limiting holes on each group of support members are used to restrict the half-shaft gear, preventing the half-shaft gear from sliding or moving between the two support members and thus colliding. The spacing between the two supports on each set of supports should be just enough to accommodate the half-shaft gear.
[0027] Furthermore, the limiting port 2 is U-shaped, with stepped sides. These steps better restrict the teeth of the half-shaft gear, thereby increasing its stability on the support. The distance between adjacent limiting ports determines the spacing between adjacent half-shaft gears on the same set of supports.
[0028] Furthermore, the holding frame includes a square base frame 3, with uprights 4 at the four corners of the base frame 3. A top frame 5, identical in shape and size to the base frame 3, is fixed to the top of each upright 4. Multiple first connecting rods 6 are located at the bottom of the base frame 3, and multiple second connecting rods 7 are vertically arranged between the base frame 3 and the top frame 5. It should be noted that in this invention, both the base frame and the top frame are connected (e.g., welded) to each other using steel branches of a certain diameter and length. The first and second connecting rods can also be steel branches, and can be fixed to the base frame and top frame by welding. The height of the uprights determines the overall height of the holding frame, and can be set according to actual needs. The first and second connecting rods increase the stability of the entire holding frame; therefore, their position and number can be set according to actual needs. For example, the first connecting rods can be arranged in a crisscrossing grid pattern.
[0029] Furthermore, a fixing rod 8 is laterally arranged between adjacent uprights 4 on corresponding sides of the base frame 3. The two fixing rods are located on the same horizontal line, and both ends of the support member 1 are fixed to the fixing rod 8. The fixing rods are mainly for supporting and fixing the support member. The support member 1 has arc-shaped notches 9 at both ends, which are engaged with the fixing rods 8, increasing the stability of the support member to a certain extent. At the same time, the arc-shaped notches serve as welding points, increasing the contact surface between the support member and the fixing rods, and enabling better welding of the support rods and fixing rods together.
[0030] Furthermore, the second connecting rod 7 is respectively connected between the fixed rod 8 and the bottom frame 3, and between the fixed rod 8 and the top frame 5, on one side where the fixed rod 8 is located. It should be noted that the setting of the second connecting rod can be flexibly set according to the actual situation. The present invention discloses only one setting method, not the only setting method.
[0031] Furthermore, sensing plates 10 are respectively arranged around the circumference of the holding frame, with the sensing plates 10 located at the center of the circumference of the holding frame. The sensing plates are existing technology, and their main purpose is to detect the position of the entire cleaning container when it is inside the hydrocarbon cleaning machine. Other sensors capable of sensing its position can also be selected.
[0032] Furthermore, fixing plates 11 are respectively provided on the circumference of the holding frame, and the sensing plate 10 is disposed on the fixing plate 11. The fixing plate is only one arrangement of this utility model. Rods can also be used, which are horizontally fixed between two adjacent second connecting rods, and the sensing plate is directly fixed on the area enclosed by the second connecting rods and the rods. The specific arrangement can be adjusted according to the actual situation and is not the only arrangement.
[0033] Furthermore, a support rod 12 is provided between the corresponding fixed plates 11. The support rod 12 is perpendicular to the support member 1. The bottom of the support member 1 is provided with a limiting groove 13 that is locked onto the support rod 12. Multiple third connecting rods 14 are provided between the support rod 12 and the first connecting rod 6 to support the support rod and increase the stability of the support member. A sensing plate 10 is also provided between the third connecting rod 14 and the second connecting rod 7.
[0034] Furthermore, guide pads 15 are provided on the other two sides of the bottom frame 3, in the area enclosed by the top frame 5 and the uprights 4, so that the hooks can hook the top frame and lift or lower the entire holding frame to achieve drainage; the guide pads 15 are triangular, and the bottom of the triangle is fixed to the top frame 5. More preferably, the guide pads 15 are right-angled triangles, with one right-angled side fixed to the top frame and the other right-angled side fixed to the uprights.
[0035] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the stacking of the holding frames, limiting pieces 16 are respectively provided at the four corners of the inner wall of the top frame. When stacking the holding frames, the limiting pieces on the lower holding frame are inserted into the four corners of the bottom frame of the upper holding frame to prevent the holding frames from moving or even collapsing during stacking, thus avoiding safety hazards.
[0036] When using this utility model, the half-shaft gear is placed on each set of support members, specifically within the area of the corresponding limiting port on each set of support members. After the half-shaft gear is placed in the holding frame, the holding frame is placed into the hydrocarbon cleaning machine. The water nozzle of the hydrocarbon cleaning machine sprays and cleans the gear plane of the half-shaft gear from all directions, cleaning the oil stains to the greatest extent. After cleaning, it is dried directly and then taken out of the cleaning machine.

[0038] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
