Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive fastener processing equipment, specifically a cleaning and drying device for automotive fasteners. Background Technology

[0002] A car is made up of a large number of interconnected structures, so a lot of fasteners are needed during the assembly process. Automotive fasteners are generally bolts, studs, screws and other structures. During the production and processing of fasteners, they need to be cleaned and dried after cleaning to remove moisture from the surface of the fasteners and prevent rusting.

[0003] A search revealed that patent publication number CN212962594U discloses a drying device for automotive fasteners, including a base. A first side plate is symmetrically fixed to the right side of the top surface of the base, and a second side plate is symmetrically fixed to the left side of the top surface. A first top plate is fixed between the tops of the two first side plates. A hot air assembly is provided on the first top plate, and a drying assembly is provided below the first top plate. A second top plate is fixed between the tops of the two second side plates, and a draining assembly is provided on the second top plate. This invention places the cleaned automotive fasteners into a draining tank. A rotating motor drives the draining tank to rotate, thus rotating and draining the fasteners, quickly removing most of the residual water. A top block on a moving plate lifts a moving rod, causing the sealing plate to move upwards and opening the discharge port, allowing the fasteners to fall onto the moving plate for subsequent hot air drying via a hot air blower and air outlet.

[0004] Existing cleaning and drying devices for automotive fasteners generally use rinsing to clean them. However, rinsing cannot remove debris from the fastener threads or clean up accumulated fasteners, resulting in poor cleaning efficiency and effectiveness. Furthermore, drying automotive fasteners typically involves heating, which raises the fasteners' temperature, making them prone to rusting when exposed to air at higher temperatures. Therefore, a cleaning and drying device for automotive fasteners is designed. Utility Model Content

[0034] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a cleaning and drying device for automotive fasteners includes a base 100. An ultrasonic cleaning tank 400 for ultrasonic cleaning of automotive fasteners is installed on the upper surface of the base 100. A drying mechanism 300 for placing and drying automotive fasteners is arranged directly above the ultrasonic cleaning tank 400. The drying mechanism 300 is arranged on a hydraulic telescopic rod 200 for driving the drying mechanism 300 to move linearly in the Y-axis direction.

[0035] The drying mechanism 300 is provided with an open mounting plate 310. A rotating plate 360 ​​is installed in a bearing on the lower part of the inner wall of the open mounting plate 310. Below the rotating plate 360 ​​is a fastener placement groove 340 for placing automotive fasteners. Below the inner wall of the fastener placement groove 340 is a filter plate 341 for filtering debris. Below the filter plate 341 is a debris collection groove 350 for collecting the debris filtered by the filter plate 341. An exhaust assembly 330 is provided on the open mounting plate 310 for blowing and drying the automotive fasteners placed in the fastener placement groove 340. A geared motor 320 is provided on the open mounting plate 310 for driving the exhaust assembly to exhaust air and for driving the fastener placement groove 340 to rotate.

[0036] The hydraulic telescopic rod 200 is installed at the top of the L-shaped mounting plate 110, and the bottom end of the hydraulic telescopic rod 200 passes through the top of the L-shaped mounting plate 110.

[0037] The rotating plate 360 ​​is fixedly connected to the fastener placement groove 340 by double-headed fastening bolts. Because the rotating plate 360 ​​and the fastener placement groove 340 are fixedly connected by double-headed fastening bolts, the fastener placement groove 340 can be disassembled and assembled. The fastener placement groove 340 and the debris collection groove 350 are fixedly connected by double-headed fastening bolts. Because the fastener placement groove 340 and the debris collection groove 350 are fixedly connected by double-headed fastening bolts, the debris collection groove 350 can be disassembled and assembled. Water permeable holes are provided on the outer walls of both the fastener placement groove 340 and the debris collection groove 350. The surface of the rotating plate 360 ​​is provided with an exhaust hole, and the air in the open mounting plate 310 can be discharged downward through the exhaust hole.

[0038] Guide posts are installed on both sides of the top of the open mounting plate 310, and the top of the guide posts penetrates the through hole on the top of the L-shaped mounting plate 110. The outer wall of the guide post and the hole wall of the through hole are clearance fit, which can limit and guide the movement of the drying mechanism 300. An air inlet slot is opened at the top of the open mounting plate 310, and external air can enter the inner side of the open mounting plate 310 through the air inlet slot. A mounting frame 311 is set at the center of the top of the open mounting plate 310, and the reduction motor 320 is set on the mounting frame 311. The mounting frame 311 is installed at the bottom of the hydraulic telescopic rod 200.

[0039] The exhaust assembly 330 is composed of a single-groove pulley 331, a fan blade 332, a transmission belt 333, a first rotating shaft 334, a second rotating shaft 335, and a double-groove pulley 336. The first rotating shaft 334 is installed in a bearing at the center of the top of the open mounting plate 310, and the top of the first rotating shaft 334 is connected to the output shaft of the geared motor 320 through a coupling.

[0040] The second rotating shaft 335 is installed in the bearings on both sides of the top of the open mounting plate 310. The first rotating shaft 334 and the second rotating shaft 335 are respectively installed on the upper circumferential outer walls of the two shafts, and the double groove pulley 336 and the single groove pulley 331 are both located outside the open mounting plate 310.

[0041] Fan blades 332 are provided on the lower circumferential outer walls of both the first rotating shaft 334 and the second rotating shaft 335, and the fan blades 332 are located inside the open mounting plate 310. The double-groove pulley 336 and the single-groove pulley 331 are connected by a transmission belt 333. The bottom end of the first rotating shaft 334 is installed at the center of the upper surface of the rotating plate 360. When the reduction motor 320 is started, it will drive the first rotating shaft 334 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 334 will drive the rotating plate 360 ​​to rotate. The rotation of the rotating plate 360 ​​will drive the fastener placement groove 340. When the first rotating shaft 334 rotates, it drives the double-groove pulley 336 to rotate. The rotation of the double-groove pulley 336 drives the single-groove pulley 331 to rotate through the transmission belt 333. The rotation of the single-groove pulley 331 drives the second rotating shaft 335 to rotate. When the first rotating shaft 334 and the second rotating shaft 335 rotate, they drive the fan blades 332 to rotate. When the fan blades 332 rotate, the outside air enters the inside of the open mounting plate 310 through the air inlet slot and is discharged into the inside of the fastener placement slot 340 through the discharge hole.

[0042] Working Principle: During use, after connecting to an external power source, when cleaning and drying automotive fasteners, the operator activates the hydraulic telescopic rod 200, moving the fastener placement tank 340 below the liquid level in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 400. The ultrasonic cleaning tank 400 then ultrasonically cleans the automotive fasteners within the fastener placement tank 340, effectively removing debris from the fastener threads and cleaning fasteners in a piled-up state, thus improving the cleaning effect and efficiency. After cleaning and subsequent drying, the operator activates the hydraulic telescopic rod 200, positioning the fastener placement tank 340 a certain distance above the liquid level in the ultrasonic cleaning tank 400, and ensuring the fastener placement tank 340 is inside the ultrasonic cleaning tank 400. Then, the operator activates the reduction motor 320, which drives the fasteners... The fastener placement tank 340 rotates and the exhaust assembly 330 exhausts air. When the fastener placement tank 340 rotates, it can centrifuge and dehydrate the automotive fasteners inside. While the automotive fasteners inside the fastener placement tank 340 are centrifuged and dehydrated, the air discharged by the exhaust assembly 330 can blow and dry the automotive fasteners. This not only effectively dries the automotive fasteners but also prevents them from rusting due to high temperatures. During the ultrasonic cleaning process of the automotive fasteners in the fastener placement tank 340 by the ultrasonic cleaning tank 400, the debris falling off the plate filter plate 341 will fall into the debris collection tank 350. The debris collection tank 350 collects the debris, eliminating the need for additional filtration equipment to filter and remove debris from the cleaning liquid, making it convenient for staff to handle the debris uniformly.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the invention. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and variations can be made to this invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this invention should be included within the protection scope of this invention.
