Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mold cleaning technology, and in particular to an ultrasonic cleaning device for mold cleaning. Background Technology
[0002] Molds are various shapes and tools used in industrial production for injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, die casting, forging, smelting, and stamping to obtain the desired products. They are indispensable key equipment in modern industrial production, with complex structures. After prolonged use, various contaminants accumulate on the molds, which affects the mold's precision, reduces production efficiency and product quality. These contaminants gradually erode the mold surface, reducing its precision and consequently affecting the dimensional accuracy and appearance quality of the product, and even shortening the mold's lifespan. Therefore, mold cleaning is a necessary step to ensure mold performance and smooth production. Among many cleaning methods, ultrasonic cleaning equipment has significant advantages.
[0003] Ultrasonic cleaning equipment is an advanced device that uses ultrasonic technology for cleaning. Its core components include an ultrasonic generator, a transducer, and a cleaning tank. It utilizes the cavitation effect generated by high-frequency sound waves in a liquid to form countless tiny bubbles. These bubbles burst instantly, generating a powerful impact that can penetrate deep into the tiny gaps and holes of the mold, thoroughly removing dirt. This efficiently and non-destructively completes the mold cleaning task, ensuring the mold can continue to operate with precision. Furthermore, molds have extremely high precision, and conventional brushing can easily cause damage. Ultrasonic cleaning relies on the cavitation impact of the liquid, which will not scratch the mold surface, preserve the original precision of the mold, and significantly shorten cleaning time, accelerate mold turnover, and improve overall production efficiency.
[0004] Existing ultrasonic cleaning equipment mainly consists of an ultrasonic generator, a transducer, and a cleaning tank. The mold is placed in the cleaning tank, ensuring it is completely submerged in the cleaning solution. The ultrasonic generator produces a high-frequency electrical signal, which the transducer converts into mechanical vibration, causing cavitation in the cleaning solution and achieving comprehensive cleaning of the mold. However, for some molds that require special fixation or support, the cleaning tank lacks a corresponding structural design, causing the mold to collide or shake during the cleaning process, affecting the cleaning effect or even damaging the mold. Therefore, an ultrasonic cleaning device for mold cleaning is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] See attached document Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 and attached Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of an ultrasonic cleaning device for mold cleaning, including a housing 1 as the container for cleaning work. A rear rail 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. Multiple rail holes 15 are provided on the outer wall of the rear rail 3. These rail holes 15 not only reduce the weight of the rear rail 3 itself but also assist in drainage or ventilation during the cleaning process. Two sliders 4 are slidably connected to the front side of the rear rail 3. The two sliders 4 can slide within a certain range according to the lateral dimensions of the mold. A rotating bar 5 is rotatably connected to the front side of each slider 4. A rotating bar 6 is rotatably connected to the front side of each rotating bar 5. The angle between the rotating bar 5 and the rotating bar 6 changes to ensure that the distance between the two side rails matches the mold thickness. A slider 7 is rotatably connected to the front side of each rotating bar 6. A sliding plate 8 is fixedly connected to the front side of each slider 7. The slider 7 receives power from the sliding plate 8, driving the rotating bar 6 connected to it to move. The same front rail 9 is slidably connected to the rear side of each sliding plate 8. The front rail 9, in conjunction with the rear rail 3, securely clamps the mold from the front-to-back direction. The rear side of the front rail 9 is fixed. The device consists of two outer cylinders 10, which provide a support structure for the subsequent clamping components. Multiple elastic clamping blocks 11 are fixedly connected to the rear sides of each outer cylinder 10. These elastic clamping blocks 11, due to their elasticity, tightly conform to the mold surface, buffering the clamping pressure. This effectively secures the mold while preventing scratch damage. Inner cylinders 12 are slidably connected to the inner walls of both outer cylinders 10. The inner cylinders 12 can slide flexibly within the inner walls of the outer cylinders 10. By adjusting the extension length of the inner cylinders 12, they can precisely adapt to molds of different thicknesses, ensuring sufficient clamping force. The uniform and suitable design meets diverse mold cleaning needs. Both outer cylinders 10 have threaded connections to the outer walls of the inner cylinder 12. The screw ring 13 is a key component for adjusting the position of the inner cylinder 12. Operators can easily control the extension and retraction of the inner cylinder 12 by rotating the screw ring 13. The bottom of the rear rail 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom rail 14. The bottom rail 14 provides bottom support for the entire clamping system, enhances the stability of the clamp, and provides an installation base for the dirt collection mechanism 2. The bottom of the bottom rail 14 is equipped with the dirt collection mechanism 2, which is used to collect dirt that falls off the mold during cleaning.
[0033] Specifically, the sliders on both sides slide on the front rail 9 and the rear rail 3 respectively, and together with the rotating bar 5 and the rotating bar 6, they change the included angle to accurately adapt to the width and thickness of the mold. The outer cylinder 10 on the rear side of the front rail 9 carries the elastic clamping block 11 and the inner cylinder 12. The elastic clamping block 11 elastically fits the mold, buffers the clamping pressure, and protects the appearance of the mold. The inner cylinder 12, together with the screw ring 13, is precisely adjusted to adapt to molds of different thicknesses.
[0034] See attached document Figure 4 and attached Figure 5The dirt collection mechanism 2 includes a filter box 201. The top of the filter box 201 is slidably connected to the bottom of the base 14. This sliding connection allows the filter box 201 to fit tightly against the base 14, ensuring no leakage during dirt collection, while also allowing for easy disassembly when cleaning is needed, facilitating continuous cleaning of the equipment. Two springs 202 are fixedly connected to the top of the filter box 201, providing elastic support and resetting. Each spring 202 has a clip 203 fixedly connected to its top, and each clip 203 has a toggle button 204 fixedly connected to its outer wall for easy operation. The manual operation of the buckle 203 makes the engagement and disengagement of the buckle 203 more convenient. The top of the filter box 201 is fixedly connected to two locking blocks 205. The bottom of the bottom rail 14 has two dovetail grooves 206. The dovetail grooves 206 provide guidance and limit for the locking blocks 205, making the installation of the filter box 201 more precise and stable, and enhancing the overall stability of the dirt collection mechanism 2. The inner wall of the bottom rail 14 has two buckle grooves 207. The buckle grooves 207 serve as fixing grooves for the buckle 203, and are precisely matched with the buckle 203 to ensure that the filter box 201 is firmly installed, laying the foundation for the equipment to efficiently collect dirt.
[0035] Specifically, after the mold cleaning operation is started, as the ultrasonic cleaning equipment runs, the powerful ultrasonic waves cause the cleaning fluid to generate a cavitation effect, which peels off the dirt on the mold. This dirt falls off under the action of gravity. Since the filter box 201 is tightly attached to the bottom rail 14, the dirt falls directly into the filter box 201. The filter box 201 effectively intercepts the dirt, preventing it from being carried by the water flow or causing secondary pollution to the equipment or mold due to equipment vibration.
[0036] See attached document Figure 1 and attached Figure 2The outer wall of the screw ring 13 is provided with multiple anti-slip strips 16 to increase the friction between the hand and the screw ring 13. Even if the operator's hands are wet or oily, the hand will not easily slip when rotating the screw ring 13. The outer wall of the housing 1 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 17, which provides additional protection for the housing 1. The top of the housing 1 is rotatably connected to the lid 18. When cleaning the mold, closing the lid 18 can prevent the cleaning fluid from splashing and keep the work area clean. The top of the lid 18 is fixedly connected to two handles 19 for easy gripping by the operator, providing a point of force when opening or closing the lid 18. The right side of the outer shell 17 is provided with a control cabinet 20, which centralizes the control functions of the equipment. Multiple heat sinks are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the control cabinet 20. Fins 21 effectively increase the contact area between the control cabinet 20 and the outside air, quickly dissipating the heat generated by the internal electronic components of the control cabinet 20 during operation. A knob 22 is provided on the outer wall of the control cabinet 20, which is used to adjust some key parameters of the equipment to achieve the best cleaning effect. Multiple displays 23 are provided on the outer wall of the control cabinet 20, which can intuitively display the working status of the equipment. Buttons 24 are provided on the outer wall of the control cabinet 20, which are used to realize some basic operation control of the equipment. A cabinet door 25 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the control cabinet 20, which makes it convenient for operators to open or close the control cabinet 20 when maintenance or repair of the inside of the control cabinet 20 is required. Multiple casters 26 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer shell 17, giving the equipment good mobility.
[0037] Specifically, the anti-slip strips 16 on the outer wall of the screw ring 13 increase friction, ensuring that even when the operator's hands are wet or oily, rotating the screw ring 13 can still accurately adjust the inner cylinder 12 and firmly clamp the mold. The box cover 18 is rotatably connected to the top of the box body 1, closing to prevent cleaning liquid from splashing and keeping the work area clean. Its top handle 19 assists in opening and closing operations. The control cabinet 20 controls the operating status of the equipment. The bottom casters 26 give the equipment good mobility, making it convenient to transport, move, and coordinate with the production line.
[0038] Working Principle: This equipment consists of an adjustable clamp that holds the mold, comprising a front rail 9, a rear rail 3, rotating bars on both sides, and a bottom rail 14. When preparing to clean the mold, first place the mold to be cleaned into the clamp, then loosen all three screw rings 13. Next, the operator holds the left and right screw rings 13 and slides them laterally. At this time, the screw rings 13, along with the outer cylinder 10 and inner cylinder 12 on the front and rear sides, drive the slider 2 7, slide plate 8, and slider 1 4 to move laterally synchronously. The distance between the left and right screw rings 13 changes, while the inner cylinder 12 on the front side slides against the inner wall of the outer cylinder 10. The distance can be adjusted automatically according to the lateral dimensions of the mold. Once a suitable position is reached, tighten the front screw ring 13. During the tightening process of the tightening ring 13, the inner wall of the tightening ring 13 gradually comes into contact with the elastic clamp 11 and presses it to radially contract, so that multiple elastic clamps 11 clamp the inner cylinder 12. Then, adjust the longitudinal spacing of the fixture and slide the front rail 9 back and forth along the top groove of the bottom rail 14. During the sliding process of the front rail 9, the distance between the front rail 9 and the rear rail 3 changes, and the included angle between the rotating bar 5 on the front side of the slider 1 4 and the rotating bar 6 on the rear side of the slider 2 7 changes. After the front rail 9 is adjusted to a suitable position, tighten the tightening rings 13 on the left and right sides. After the mold is properly fixed in the fixture, put the fixture together with the mold fixed inside it into the box 1, and the ultrasonic cleaning program can be started.
[0039] Furthermore, before placing the clamp into the housing 1, the sludge collection mechanism 2 should be installed first. First, pick up the filter box 201 and align its top with the bottom of the base 14. The two locking blocks 205 on the top of the filter box 201 should correspond to the two dovetail grooves 206 on the bottom of the base 14. Next, press the levers 204 on both sides and push the filter box 201 forward. During this process, the levers 204 cause the latches 203 to slide downwards, compressing the spring 202. When the filter box 201 is pushed to its foremost position, the latches 203 align with the latch grooves 207 on the inner wall of the base 14. At this point, release the levers 204, and the spring 202 will... Under the elastic force of 2, the buckle 203 will be inserted into the buckle groove 207 to achieve a stable installation of the filter box 201. During cleaning, the dirt on the mold falls into the filter box 201 under the action of gravity. When the cleaning work is finished and the dirt in the filter box 201 needs to be cleaned, the operator only needs to press the button 204 on the outer wall of the buckle 203 to make the buckle 203 disengage from the buckle groove 207, and then easily slide the filter box 201 out along the direction of the dovetail groove 206. After cleaning, reinstall it according to the above installation steps. This cycle is repeated to ensure that the dirt collection mechanism 2 always operates efficiently and maintains a clean working environment for the equipment.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
