Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of brake disc cleaning technology, and specifically relates to a brake disc cleaning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Brake disc cleaning systems are devices specifically designed to remove oil, dust, metal filings, and other contaminants from the surface of automotive brake discs. These devices typically utilize ultrasonic cleaning technology, which uses the cavitation effect to create tiny bubbles that burst and break down the dirt on the brake disc surface. In addition, they may combine cleaning agent spraying systems, brushing devices, and drying functions to ensure thorough cleaning.

[0003] Existing brake disc cleaning mechanisms clean the brake discs by placing them inside a cleaning frame and moving them into an ultrasonic cleaning tank filled with cleaning fluid. The cavitation effect effectively breaks down dirt and peels it off the surface of the brake disc for cleaning. However, one side of the brake disc is always in contact with the cleaning frame, preventing that side from directly contacting the ultrasonic cleaning fluid or air bubbles. This results in incomplete cleaning. Because one side is not thoroughly cleaned, operators must manually flip the brake disc for a second cleaning, increasing working time and labor intensity, and reducing work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a brake disc cleaning mechanism. The brake disc is suspended in the cleaning tank, and both sides can directly contact the ultrasonic cleaning fluid and cavitation bubbles, ensuring that all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned. This avoids blind spots caused by contact with the cleaning frame and eliminates the need to manually flip the brake disc, reducing operation steps, improving overall work efficiency, and reducing downtime.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a brake disc cleaning mechanism, including an ultrasonic cleaning box, a mounting box provided on the rear side of the ultrasonic cleaning box, multiple guide posts provided inside the mounting box, the multiple guide posts being symmetrically positioned left and right, a lifting frame plate slidably arranged between the outer arc surfaces of the multiple guide posts, multiple support plates provided on the inner wall of the lifting frame plate, a bearing post provided on the right side of each support plate, and a limit locking mechanism provided inside the lifting frame plate, which can limit the brake disc cleaning process. The limit locking mechanism includes components provided on the lifting frame plate. The internal connecting column has multiple rotating plates rotatably mounted on its outer arc surface. Each rotating plate has a locking column slidably mounted on its front side. Each bearing column has a docking locking block on its right side. Each docking locking block has a locking hole on its front side. Each locking column is inserted into the adjacent locking hole. Each locking column has a pull plate at its front end. The locking column and the pull plate are fixed together by welding. An elastic drive unit is set between the pull plate and the rotating plate. The elastic drive unit includes multiple return springs, which are respectively sleeved on the outer arc surface of the corresponding locking column.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model, a support mounting plate is provided at the lower end of the ultrasonic cleaning box. The two support plates are positioned correspondingly to each other, and each support mounting plate has multiple mounting holes inside.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model, a lead screw is rotatably installed inside the mounting box, and the lifting frame plate is threadedly connected to the lead screw. A drive unit for driving the lead screw to rotate is provided at the lower end of the mounting box. The drive unit includes a motor located at the lower end of the mounting box, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the lower end of the lead screw through a coupling.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model, a drain pipe is provided in the drain hole at the lower right end of the ultrasonic cleaning box, and a solenoid valve is connected in series in the middle of the drain pipe.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0010] Firstly, by pulling the pull plate, the locking pin is disengaged from the locking hole of the docking locking block. Then, the rotating plate is rotated upwards to contact the lifting frame plate. Next, the center hole of the brake disc is placed on the support column. Then, the pull plate is pulled to move the locking pin backwards, stretching the return spring. The rotating plate is then rotated downwards to align the locking pin with the locking hole. Finally, the pull plate is released, allowing the locking pin to be inserted into the locking hole of the docking locking block, completing the suspension installation of the brake disc. This prevents the brake disc from slipping off the support column during subsequent cleaning. The brake disc is suspended in the cleaning tank, with both sides directly contacting the ultrasonic cleaning fluid and cavitation bubbles, ensuring that all surfaces are thoroughly cleaned. This avoids blind spots caused by contact with the cleaning frame and eliminates the need for manual rotation of the brake disc, reducing operation steps, improving overall work efficiency, and reducing downtime.

[0011] Secondly, by controlling the motor to start running, the brake disc inside the lifting frame can be brought into the ultrasonic cleaning tank. Then, cleaning fluid is added into the ultrasonic cleaning tank. After that, the ultrasonic cleaning tank is opened by controlling the motor to quickly and thoroughly clean the brake disc using the cavitation effect. The brake disc is automatically placed into the ultrasonic cleaning tank, saving manpower.

[0012] Thirdly, the support mounting plate can support the cleaning mechanism, and the mounting bolts inserted into the mounting holes can also be used to fix the cleaning mechanism to the ground, ensuring greater stability during brake disc cleaning. This indirectly improves the cleaning quality of the brake disc. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0019] To better understand this utility model, the following embodiments further illustrate its content, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited to the embodiments described below. Numerous specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a more thorough understanding of this utility model. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model can be practiced without one or more of these details.

[0020] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figure 3, the brake disc cleaning mechanism includes an ultrasonic cleaning box 101. A mounting box 201 is located on the rear side of the ultrasonic cleaning box 101. Multiple guide posts 203 are located inside the mounting box. A lifting frame plate 202 is slidably arranged between the outer arc surfaces of the multiple guide posts 203. Multiple support plates 301 are located on the inner wall of the lifting frame plate 202. The lifting frame plate 202 and the support plates 301 are fixed together by welding. A bearing post 303 is located on the right side of each support plate 301. A limit locking mechanism is located inside the lifting frame plate 202 to limit the movement of the brake disc during cleaning. A lead screw 204 is rotatably arranged inside the mounting box 201. The lifting frame plate 202 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 204. A drive unit for driving the lead screw 204 to rotate is located at the lower end of the mounting box 201. The drive unit includes a motor 205 located at the lower end of the mounting box 201. The output shaft of the motor 205 is connected to the lower end of the lead screw 204 via a coupling.

[0021] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, the limiting locking mechanism includes a connecting column 302 disposed inside the lifting frame plate 202. Multiple rotating plates 304 are rotatably disposed on the outer arc surface of the connecting column 302. A locking column 306 is slidably disposed on the front side of the interior of each rotating plate 304. A docking locking block 305 is disposed on the right side of each bearing column 303. A locking hole is opened on the front side of each docking locking block 305. Each locking column 306 is inserted into the adjacent locking hole. A pull plate 308 is disposed at the front end of each locking column 306. An elastic drive unit is disposed between the pull plate 308 and the rotating plate 304. The elastic drive unit includes multiple return springs 307 disposed thereon. The multiple return springs 307 are respectively sleeved on the outer arc surface of the corresponding locking column 306.

[0022] like Figure 1As shown, the lower end of the ultrasonic cleaning box 101 is provided with a support mounting plate 104. Each support mounting plate 104 has multiple mounting holes. The support mounting plate 104 can support the cleaning mechanism, and can also be used with mounting bolts inserted into the mounting holes to fix the cleaning mechanism to the ground, ensuring greater stability when cleaning the brake disc.

[0023] By pulling the pull plate 308, the locking pin 306 is disengaged from the locking hole of the mating locking block 305. Then, the rotating plate 304 is rotated upward to contact the lifting frame plate 202. The center hole of the brake disc is then placed on the support column 303. The pull plate 308 is then pulled to move the locking pin 306 backward and stretch the return spring 307. The rotating plate 304 is then rotated downward to align the locking pin 306 with the locking hole. The pull plate 308 is then released, allowing the locking pin 306 to be inserted into the locking hole of the mating locking block 305, thus completing the suspension installation of the brake disc. This prevents the brake disc from slipping off the support column 303 during subsequent cleaning. The remaining brake discs are then suspended on the support column 303 using the same installation method.

[0024] Next, the motor 205 is turned on by control, and the output shaft drives the lead screw 204 to rotate, which allows the brake disc inside the lifting frame plate 202 to enter the ultrasonic cleaning tank 101. Then, the cleaning fluid is added into the ultrasonic cleaning fluid, and then the ultrasonic cleaning tank 101 is turned on by control, and the brake disc is thoroughly cleaned by using the cavitation effect.

[0025] According to another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , 2 As shown, a drain pipe 102 is installed in the drain hole at the lower right end of the ultrasonic cleaning box 101. A solenoid valve 103 is connected in series in the middle of the drain pipe 102. When the cleaning fluid needs to be replaced, the solenoid valve 103 is opened by control, so that the cleaning fluid can be quickly discharged through the drain pipe 102, making it convenient for personnel to add new cleaning fluid.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Any other modifications or equivalent substitutions made by those skilled in the art to the technical solution of this utility model, as long as they do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
