Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated laser cleaning devices, and in particular to an automated laser cleaning device for grinding wheels and tooth molds. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, molds are a key element in ensuring product precision and quality, and their importance is self-evident. However, due to prolonged use, various dirt and residues, such as oil stains, plastic particles, and metal shavings, often accumulate on the surface of molds. If these impurities are not cleaned in time, they will negatively impact product quality and may even damage the mold. Once the mold is damaged, it will not only delay production schedules but also significantly increase the company's operating costs. Therefore, regular mold cleaning is an important step in ensuring production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] Traditional mold cleaning methods primarily rely on mechanical means, such as using wire brushes, high-pressure water guns, and sandblasting machines to physically clean the mold surface. Chemical cleaning is also a common method, using organic solvents or acidic solutions to dissolve and remove dirt from the mold surface. While these methods are relatively simple to operate, they are often ineffective at handling stubborn dirt and residues. More seriously, these traditional cleaning methods can damage and corrode the mold surface, thus shortening its lifespan. Furthermore, their environmental pollution is significant, and the waste generated during the cleaning process requires proper disposal. In addition, these methods are generally inefficient, requiring substantial manpower and time, which is undoubtedly a significant disadvantage in today's fast-paced production environment.

When the locking assembly 21 is released, the fixing plate 19 can be pulled out to facilitate quick maintenance and replacement of the slides, cleaning gun head 3 and dust cover 2.

[0029] A sealed safety door 1 is installed on the other side of the housing 5, and a dust cover 4 is installed on the top of the housing 5, facing the rotating disk 13. The sealed safety door 1, dust cover 4, and housing 5 are all connected by hinge assemblies and secured by locking devices. Sealing strips are provided at the connection points between the sealed safety door 1, dust cover 4, and housing 5 to ensure a tight seal. Next to the base 9 are an explosion-proof dust removal device 6, a laser cleaning device 7, and a control cabinet 8.

[0030] The fixing plate 19 is bolted to the limiting fixing seat 17, and the fixing plate 19 and the inspection door 20 are perpendicular to each other. Sealing strips are provided on the edges of the inspection door 20 and the fixing plate 19 to ensure a sealed connection with the machine cover 5 and the base 9. The limiting base frame 16 is bolted to the base 9, preventing the fixing plate 19 from falling, and a sealing rubber strip is provided between the two. The fixing plate 19 and the limiting plug 22 are integrated, and the cross-section of the limiting plug 22 is L-shaped. A sealing strip is provided at the joint between the limiting plug 22 and the base 9.

[0031] The caster wheel 18 is a universal caster wheel with a brake assembly. The caster wheel 18 is fixed to the lower end of the limit fixing seat 17 by screws and nuts, and the distance between the caster wheel 18 and the ground is adjusted by screws and nuts. Part of the locking assembly 21 is fixed to the maintenance door 20 by bolts, and the other part is fixed to the machine cover 5 by bolts.

[0032] The cleaning nozzle 3 and dust cover 2 are fixed to the Z-axis slide 11, which is fixed to the X-axis slide 10. When the gear mold needs cleaning, the dust cover 4 on top of the device will automatically open. After the mold is hoisted into place, the dust cover 4 will automatically close. After closing the sealing safety door 1, the cleaning program will start. The slide will move the cleaning nozzle 3 and dust cover 2 to the preset position. The rotating disk 13 will drive the gear mold to rotate together. The laser cleaning equipment 7 and the explosion-proof dust removal equipment 6 will start working, cleaning impurities on the surface of the gear mold and removing dust particles. After cleaning, the slide will return the cleaning nozzle 3 and dust cover 2 to the origin. The dust cover 4 will automatically open, and the cleaned gear mold will be hoisted out manually, thus completing the automated laser cleaning process for the gear mold. When the grinding wheel needs cleaning, the appropriate tooling will be selected and the grinding wheel installed in place. After closing the sealing safety door 1, the cleaning program will start. The sliding table moves the cleaning gun head 3 and dust cover 2 to the preset position. The rotating disk 13 drives the grinding wheel to rotate together, and the laser cleaning equipment 7 and explosion-proof dust removal equipment 6 start working to clean impurities on the surface of the grinding wheel and remove dust particles. After cleaning is completed, the sliding table returns the cleaning gun head 3 and dust cover 2 to their original position, and the cleaned grinding wheel is manually removed, thus completing the automated laser cleaning process of the grinding wheel.

[0033] Release the locking assembly 21, which typically requires rotating or pressing the unlocking mechanism of the locking assembly. Pull the access door 20 to detach it from the cover 5. The access door 20 may need to slide to one side or open directly outwards. Check the operation of the X-axis slide 10 and Z-axis slide 11 to ensure they move smoothly without abnormal noise or wear.
