[0002] Cutting tools are tools used for machining in mechanical manufacturing. During machining, cutting tools accumulate chips, oil, and coolant residue. If not cleaned, this will affect the tool's future use. Furthermore, after prolonged use, cutting tools are prone to wear. If the tool is severely worn, continued use will affect machining quality and may even lead to workpiece scrap or machine tool damage. Therefore, cleaning and maintaining cutting tools is crucial.
[0003] Currently, cutting tools are typically cleaned and maintained using tool cleaning and maintenance devices. However, existing tool cleaning methods usually involve using brushes or air guns, which have limited cleaning effectiveness. Furthermore, tool maintenance generally involves manually applying rust-preventive oil, which is inefficient and cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0034] Reference Figure 1-4 A tool cleaning and maintenance device is used for cleaning and maintaining a tool 9, in order to perform deep cleaning of the tool 9 and facilitate the application of anti-rust oil to the cleaned tool 9.
[0035] The tool cleaning and maintenance device includes a housing 1, a cleaning box 7, a fixed sleeve 801, a rotating sleeve 8, a worm gear 10, a worm 6, and a fixed plate 12;
[0036] The cleaning box 7 is located inside the housing 1, and an ultrasonic generator is installed on the cleaning box 7. When cleaning the knife 9 is required, a special cleaning agent (such as a water-based metal cleaner) is added to the cleaning box 7, and the knife is then immersed in it for 5-10 minutes. At the same time, the ultrasonic generator is turned on. The ultrasonic generator produces high-frequency vibrations, thereby deeply cleaning the knife 9 and thoroughly removing the dirt from the knife 9. The principle and installation method of the ultrasonic generator are common knowledge and will not be described in detail here.
[0037] A fixed shaft 101 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, and a rotating cover 2 is rotatably connected to the fixed shaft 101. By rotating the rotating cover 2 upward by 90° via the fixed shaft 101, the housing 1 can be opened, making it convenient to add cleaning agent into the cleaning box 7, and also convenient to fix the blade 9.
[0038] A rotating shaft 102 is rotatably connected inside the housing 1. A fixed sleeve 801 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 102. A rotating sleeve 8 is rotatably connected to one side of the fixed sleeve 801. The rotating sleeve 8 has a slot for fixing the tool 9. When the rotating cover 2 is opened, the fixed sleeve 801 rotates around the rotating shaft 102, so that the slot of the rotating sleeve 8 is vertically upward. At this time, it is convenient to insert one end of the tool 9 into the fixed sleeve 801 for fixing. After the tool 9 is fixed, the fixed sleeve 801 can be rotated downward by 90°. At this time, the rotating sleeve 8 rotates around the rotating shaft 102, and the tool 9 rotates to a horizontal position. The entire tool 9 enters the interior of the housing 1. The rotating cover 2 can then be closed to observe the tool 9 and apply anti-rust oil.
[0039] Furthermore, a torsion spring is provided between the rotating shaft 102 and the housing 1. When the rotating cover 2 is opened, the rotating shaft 102 can be rotated by the elastic force of the torsion spring, thereby causing the fixed sleeve 801 to rotate around the rotating shaft 102. The insertion port of the rotating sleeve 8 automatically faces vertically upward, which facilitates the installation and removal of the tool 9.
[0040] In some embodiments, the rotating cover 2 has a strip-shaped hole, and a movable sleeve 301 is slidably connected inside the strip-shaped hole. A magnifying glass 3 is provided in the middle of the movable sleeve 301. After the tool 9 is fixed, the rotating cover 2 is rotated downwards to close it. At this time, the rotating cover 2 will press the rotating sleeve 8, causing the rotating sleeve 8 to rotate around the rotating shaft 102, thereby pressing the tool 9 onto the fixed plate 12. At this time, the magnifying glass 3 is located above the tool 9. The cutting edge of the tool 9 can be magnified and observed through the magnifying glass 3 to determine the wear condition of the tool 9 and to judge in time whether the cutting edge is cracked. The movable sleeve 301 can slide inside the strip-shaped hole to change the position of the magnifying glass 3, making it convenient to magnify and observe the entire tool 9.
[0041] In some embodiments, the rotating cover 2 is made of a transparent material, through which light enters the interior of the housing 1, thereby facilitating the observation of the cutting tool 9.
[0042] In some embodiments, the housing 1 is provided with an LED light to illuminate the cutting tool 9.
[0043] The worm 6 is rotatably connected to the inside of the housing 1, and the worm wheel 10 is located outside the rotating sleeve 8. When the rotating cover 2 is rotated downwards to close, causing the tool 9 to rotate to a horizontal position, the worm wheel 10 contacts and meshes with the worm 6. By rotating the worm 6, the worm wheel 10 can be driven to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating sleeve 8 to rotate. The rotating sleeve 8 causes the tool 9 to rotate around its center line, facilitating a comprehensive observation of the tool 9 and also making it convenient to apply anti-rust oil.
[0044] In some embodiments, a rubber ring is provided on the inner wall of the insertion port of the rotating sleeve 8. When one end of the cutter 9 is inserted into the insertion port, the rubber ring will be placed on the outside of the cutter 9, thereby fixing the cutter 9 and improving its stability.
[0045] In some embodiments, a circular through hole is provided on one side of the housing 1, and the worm 6 extends to the outside of the housing 1 through the circular through hole. A knob 5 is provided at one end of the worm 6. The knob 5 facilitates the rotation of the worm 6, thereby rotating the cutting tool 9.
[0046] The fixing plate 12 is located inside the housing 1 and directly below the cutting tool 9. The oil storage box 4 is located on the top side of the housing 1. A connector 11 is provided on the inner wall of one side of the housing 1. One side of the connector 11 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 12. The connector 11 has an oil hole 1101 inside. A sponge pad 13 is provided on the fixing plate 12. The oil hole 1101 connects the oil storage box 4 and the fixing plate 12, so that the anti-rust oil inside the oil storage box 4 flows to the fixing plate 12 and is absorbed by the sponge pad 13. When the rotating cover 2 is rotated downwards to close, and the cutting tool 9 is rotated to a horizontal position, the cutting tool 9 will press against the sponge pad 13. At this time, rotating the cutting tool 9 will allow the anti-rust oil in the sponge pad 13 to be evenly applied to the outside of the cutting tool 9.
[0047] In some embodiments, the fixing plate 12 is arc-shaped. On the one hand, it facilitates the sponge pad 13 to wrap the lower part of the tool 9, improving the uniformity of the anti-rust oil application. On the other hand, the arc-shaped plate creates an arc-shaped groove, which facilitates the collection of anti-rust oil and prevents excessive anti-rust oil from overflowing.
[0048] In some embodiments, the oil reservoir 4 is provided with a sealing plug 401. Opening the sealing plug 401 allows air to enter the oil reservoir 4, at which point the rust-preventive oil inside the oil reservoir 4 can flow through the oil hole 1101 onto the sponge pad 13. When no rust-preventive oil is applied, the oil reservoir 4 can be sealed by the sealing plug 401, creating a sealed environment inside the oil reservoir 4. This prevents the rust-preventive oil from escaping through the oil hole 1101, thus avoiding spillage.
[0049] The working principle of this knife cleaning and maintenance device is as follows: First, rotate the cover 2 upwards to open the device, add special cleaning agent into the cleaning box 7, then soak the knife in it for 5-10 minutes, and at the same time turn on the ultrasonic generator. The ultrasonic generator generates high-frequency vibration, thereby deeply cleaning the knife 9 and thoroughly removing the dirt on the knife 9.
[0050] After cleaning, remove the knife 9 and make the insertion port of the rotating sleeve 8 vertically upward. This makes it easy to insert one end of the knife 9 into the fixed sleeve 801 for fixation. After the knife 9 is fixed, rotate the rotating cover 2 downward. At this time, the rotating cover 2 will press the rotating sleeve 8, causing the rotating sleeve 8 to rotate around the rotating shaft 102, thereby pressing the knife 9 onto the sponge pad 13.
[0051] At this time, the magnifying glass 3 is located above the cutting tool 9. The cutting edge of the cutting tool 9 can be magnified and observed through the magnifying glass 3 to determine the wear condition of the cutting tool 9 and to judge in time whether the cutting edge is cracked. The movable sleeve 301 can slide inside the strip hole to change the position of the magnifying glass 3, so as to facilitate the overall magnification and observation of the cutting tool 9.
[0052] When observing the tool 9 under magnification, the worm 6 can be rotated by the knob 5. The worm 6 drives the worm wheel 10 to rotate, and the worm wheel 10 drives the rotating sleeve 8 to rotate. The rotating sleeve 8 causes the tool 9 to rotate around its center line, which facilitates a comprehensive observation of the tool 9.
[0053] After observation, the sealing plug 401 can be opened to allow air to enter the oil storage box 4. At this time, the anti-rust oil inside the oil storage box 4 can flow through the oil hole 1101 to the sponge pad 13. Then, the worm gear 6 can be rotated again by the knob 5 to make the tool 9 rotate around its center line, which makes it convenient to evenly apply anti-rust oil to the outside of the tool 9.
[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
