Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brake pad cleaning technology, specifically a novel brake pad cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Brake pads, also known as brake shoes, are the most critical safety component in a car's braking system. The quality of braking performance is determined by the brake pads, so good brake pads are the guardians of both people and cars.

[0003] Currently, during the processing or storage of brake pads, it is necessary to use appropriate methods for cleaning to obtain a clean surface for convenient subsequent use. This is especially important when brake pads are stored for a long time, as proper methods are needed to maintain their cleaning effect so that they can be used as needed. Therefore, cleaning brake pads is particularly important. Hence, a new type of brake pad cleaning device is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a new type of brake pad cleaning device to address the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a novel brake pad cleaning device, including a cleaning tank, wherein a cleaning mechanism is provided on the cleaning tank;

[0006] The cleaning mechanism includes: a slider slidably connected to the left inner wall of the cleaning pool; a frame fixedly connected to the right side of the slider; a slide plate slidably connected to the inner cavity of the frame; a spring fixedly connected to the right side of the slide plate; the right end of the spring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame; a fixing plate fixedly connected to the top of the slide plate; a fixing rod fixedly connected to the front of the fixing plate; a connecting plate fixedly connected to the top of the slide plate, near the left side of the slide plate; a support frame fixedly connected to the top of the slider; a rotating shaft rotatably connected to the top inner side of the support frame via a bearing; and an eccentric wheel fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft. A motor is connected to the top of the frame. The top of the rotating shaft passes through the support frame and is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor via a coupling. By starting the motor, the rotating shaft is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the eccentric wheel to rotate. When the eccentric wheel rotates, it intermittently pushes the connecting plate, causing the connecting plate to slide the slide plate within the frame. At the same time, the movement of the slide plate intermittently compresses the spring, causing the slide plate to move back and forth under the action of the spring force. The slide plate drives the fixed plate and the fixed rod to move together, causing the brake pads placed on the fixed rod to move back and forth in the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank. This increases the contact and friction between the brake pads and the cleaning fluid, effectively removing dirt from the surface of the brake pads and improving the cleaning effect.

[0007] Preferably, the support frame is arranged in an inverted "L" shape, and the outer wall of the eccentric wheel is in contact with the left side of the connecting plate, so that the eccentric wheel can stably push the connecting plate when it rotates.

[0008] Preferably, there are several fixing plates and fixing rods, which are evenly spaced on the slide plate, allowing multiple brake pads to be fixed for cleaning at the same time, greatly improving cleaning efficiency and meeting the needs of batch cleaning.

[0009] Preferably, each of the fixing rods has a limiting groove on its outer wall. The limiting groove can effectively prevent the brake pads from slipping off during the cleaning process, so that the brake pads are better fixed on the fixing rod, ensuring that the cleaning process is carried out smoothly and avoiding the impact on the cleaning effect due to the brake pads slipping off.

[0010] Preferably, a groove is provided on the left inner wall of the cleaning pool, and the slider is slidably connected in the groove. The groove limits the slider, so that the rotational motion of the slider is converted into vertical movement.

[0011] Preferably, the cleaning tank is equipped with a lifting mechanism, which includes a lead screw and a second motor. The lead screw is rotatably connected to the bottom of the slide groove via a bearing, and the slider is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw. The second motor is connected to the top of the cleaning tank, and the top end of the lead screw passes through the cleaning tank and is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor via a coupling. By starting the second motor, the lead screw is driven to rotate, and the lead screw drives the slider to move up and down under the limit of the slide groove, so that the slider drives the frame and brake pads to rise and fall. The height of the cleaning mechanism can be adjusted according to the depth of the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank and the actual condition of the brake pads, ensuring that the brake pads can be fully immersed in the cleaning fluid, improving the cleaning effect, and facilitating the loading and unloading of brake pads.

[0012] Preferably, an inlet pipe is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the cleaning tank, and a drain pipe is fixedly connected to the lower right side of the cleaning tank. Both the inlet pipe and the drain pipe are equipped with solenoid valves. The inlet pipe is used to inject clean cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank, and the drain pipe is used to discharge dirty cleaning liquid after use.

[0013] The present invention adopts the above technical solution, which can bring the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This novel brake pad cleaning device uses a motor to drive a rotating shaft, which in turn drives an eccentric wheel. The rotating eccentric wheel intermittently pushes a connecting plate, causing the connecting plate to slide a sliding plate within a frame. Simultaneously, the sliding plate intermittently compresses a spring, causing the sliding plate to reciprocate left and right under the spring's force. The sliding plate then moves a fixed plate and a fixed rod together, causing the brake pads placed on the fixed rod to move back and forth in the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank. This increases the contact and friction between the brake pads and the cleaning fluid, effectively removing dirt from the brake pad surface and improving the cleaning effect.

[0015] 2. This novel brake pad cleaning device uses a starting motor to drive a lead screw to rotate. The lead screw drives a slider to move up and down under the limit of the slide groove, which in turn causes the slider to lift and lower the frame and brake pads. The height of the cleaning mechanism can be adjusted according to the depth of the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank and the actual condition of the brake pads, ensuring that the brake pads can be fully immersed in the cleaning fluid, improving the cleaning effect, and facilitating the loading and unloading of brake pads.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or setting, a detachable connection or setting, or an integral connection or setting. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "several" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4One embodiment of this utility model is as follows: a novel brake pad cleaning device, including a cleaning tank 1, on which a cleaning mechanism 2 is provided; the cleaning mechanism 2 includes: a slider 21, which is slidably connected to the left inner wall of the cleaning tank 1; a frame 22 is fixedly connected to the right side of the slider 21; a slide plate 23 is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the frame 22; a spring 24 is fixedly connected to the right side of the slide plate 23; the right end of the spring 24 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 22; a fixing plate 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide plate 23; and a fixing rod 26 is fixedly connected to the front of the fixing plate 25. There are several fixed plates 25 and fixed rods 26, evenly spaced on the slide plate 23, which can fix multiple brake pads for cleaning at the same time, greatly improving cleaning efficiency and meeting the needs of batch cleaning. Each fixed rod 26 has a limit groove on its outer wall, which effectively prevents the brake pads from slipping off during the cleaning process, ensuring that the brake pads are better fixed on the fixed rod 26, ensuring a smooth cleaning process, and avoiding the impact of brake pad slippage on the cleaning effect. A connecting plate 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the slide plate 23, near the left side of the slide plate 23, and a slider 21. A support frame 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 27. The support frame 28 is inverted "L" shape. A rotating shaft 29 is rotatably connected to the inner top of the support frame 28 via a bearing. An eccentric wheel 210 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 29. The outer wall of the eccentric wheel 210 fits against the left side of the connecting plate 27, so that the eccentric wheel 210 can stably push the connecting plate 27 when it rotates. A motor 211 is connected to the top of the support frame 28. The top end of the rotating shaft 29 passes through the support frame 28 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 211 via a coupling. The rotating shaft 29 is driven to rotate by starting the motor 211. The rotating shaft 29 drives the eccentric wheel 210 to rotate. When the eccentric wheel 210 rotates, it intermittently pushes the connecting plate 27, causing the connecting plate 27 to drive the slide plate 23 to slide within the frame 22. At the same time, the slide plate 23 intermittently compresses the spring 24. Under the elastic force of the spring 24, the slide plate 23 moves back and forth. The slide plate 23 drives the fixed plate 25 and the fixed rod 26 to move together, causing the brake pads placed on the fixed rod 26 to move back and forth in the cleaning fluid of the cleaning pool 1. This increases the contact and friction between the brake pads and the cleaning fluid, effectively removing dirt from the surface of the brake pads and improving the cleaning effect.

[0026] A water inlet pipe 5 is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the cleaning tank 1, and a drain pipe 6 is fixedly connected to the lower right side of the cleaning tank 1. Both the water inlet pipe 5 and the drain pipe 6 are equipped with solenoid valves. The water inlet pipe 5 is used to inject clean cleaning solution into the cleaning tank 1, and the drain pipe 6 is used to discharge dirty cleaning solution after use.

[0027] Working principle: The brake pads are fitted onto the fixing rod 26 with their inner walls positioned in the limiting groove. The brake pads are then immersed in the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank 1. The motor 211 drives the rotating shaft 29 to rotate, which in turn drives the eccentric wheel 210. As the eccentric wheel 210 rotates, it intermittently pushes the connecting plate 27, causing the connecting plate 27 to slide the slide plate 23 within the frame 22. Simultaneously, the slide plate 23 intermittently compresses the spring 24, causing it to reciprocate left and right under the force of the spring 24. The slide plate 23 then moves the fixing plate 25 and the fixing rod 26 together, causing the brake pads placed on the fixing rod 26 to move back and forth in the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank 1. This increases the contact and friction between the brake pads and the cleaning fluid, effectively removing dirt from the surface of the brake pads and improving the cleaning effect.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 Based on the above embodiments, in another embodiment of this utility model, a groove 3 is provided on the left inner wall of the cleaning pool 1, and a slider 21 is slidably connected in the groove 3. The groove 3 limits the slider 21, so that the rotational movement of the slider 21 is converted into vertical movement. A lifting mechanism 4 is provided on the cleaning pool 1. The lifting mechanism 4 includes a lead screw 41 and a second motor 42. The lead screw 41 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the groove 3 through a bearing. The slider 21 is threaded to the outer wall of the lead screw 41. The second motor 42 is connected to the top of the cleaning pool 1. The top end of the lead screw 41 passes through the cleaning pool 1 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 42 through a coupling. By starting the second motor 42, the lead screw 41 is driven to rotate. The lead screw 41 drives the slider 21 to move up and down under the limitation of the groove 3, so that the slider 21 drives the frame 22 and the brake pads to rise and fall. The height of the cleaning mechanism 2 can be adjusted according to the depth of the cleaning liquid in the cleaning pool 1 and the actual situation of the brake pads to ensure that the brake pads can be fully immersed in the cleaning liquid, improve the cleaning effect, and facilitate the loading and unloading of the brake pads.

[0029] Working principle: The motor 42 drives the lead screw 41 to rotate, and the lead screw 41 drives the slider 21 to move up and down under the limit of the slide groove 3. This causes the slider 21 to drive the frame 22 and the brake pads to rise and fall. The height of the cleaning mechanism 2 can be adjusted according to the depth of the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 1 and the actual condition of the brake pads, so as to ensure that the brake pads can be fully immersed in the cleaning liquid and facilitate the loading and unloading of the brake pads.

[0030] It is worth noting that the motor 211, motor 42, and solenoid valve in the above embodiments are all commonly used devices in the prior art. The models used can be customized according to actual usage requirements. In addition, the power supply interface of the electrical equipment in this utility model is connected to the power supply system through a switch (not shown in the figure) and a wire (not shown in the figure) to realize its control. The circuit control, specific composition and principle involved are all prior art, which are known in the current field and are clear to those skilled in the art. Therefore, they will not be described in detail here.

[0031] This utility model provides a novel brake pad cleaning device. There are many methods and approaches to implement this technical solution. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
