Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of needle roller bearing production technology, and in particular to a needle roller cleaning device for needle roller bearing production. Background Technology
[0002] Needle roller bearings are a special type of bearing, characterized by the use of slender cylindrical rollers, which are typically more than four times longer than their diameter. The design of needle roller bearings makes them compact in the radial direction, making them particularly suitable for support structures where radial mounting dimensions are strictly limited.
[0003] The rollers of a needle roller bearing are called needle rollers. The production of needle rollers involves steps such as blanking, blank forming, deburring, multi-stage grinding, heat treatment, cleaning and drying. In this process, cleaning is mainly to remove oil and impurities that adhere to the surface of the rollers during processing. Existing cleaning methods mainly use ultrasonic cleaning with special cleaning agents. During this process, the needle rollers are stacked on top of each other, which causes the dirt to be removed to seep out through tiny gaps, making the drainage very difficult. This results in a lot of time being spent on cleaning, and sometimes it is even necessary to turn the rollers over during the cleaning process to ensure the cleaning effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model addresses the deficiencies in the prior art by providing a needle roller cleaning device for the production of needle roller bearings.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A needle roller cleaning device for needle roller bearing production includes a cleaning tank, a vibrator, a hydraulic cylinder, a pressure bar, a insert plate, and a holding assembly. The vibrator is installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank, the hydraulic cylinder is installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank, the pressure bar is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder, the insert plate is fixed inside the cleaning tank, and the holding assembly is secured inside the cleaning tank. The holding assembly includes a basket frame, a clamping strip, a lifting handle, a limiting support strip, and a metal mesh bag. The clamping strip is fixedly installed on the outside of the basket frame, the lifting handle is fixedly installed on the inside of the basket frame, the limiting support strip is fixedly installed at the bottom of the basket frame, and the metal mesh bag is fixed to the inside of the bottom of the basket frame.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the insert plate is disposed at both ends inside the two sides of the cleaning pool, and a slot for cooperating with the basket frame is provided in the middle.
[0008] The insert plate mainly limits the basket frame when the hydraulic cylinder controls the pressure bar to apply pressure to the bottom of the metal mesh bag, preventing it from being pushed up by the pressure.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a slot is provided on the inner side of the insert plate, and the locking strip is engaged in the slot on the inner side of the insert plate;
[0010] By inserting the basketball hoop into the slot between the insert plates and moving it to the side, the locking strip can be inserted into the slot inside the insert plate to achieve the limiting effect.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the pressure strip and the limiting support strip are arranged in an alternating manner, and the pressure strip squeezes the bottom of the metal mesh bag;
[0012] Why do the pressure strips and limit support strips work? As the pressure strips apply pressure to the bottom of the metal mesh bag, they will lift the bottom of the metal mesh bag, causing the internal rollers to roll and tumble, which is beneficial for the discharge of oil and impurities.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the metal mesh bag contacts the inner side of the bottom of the limiting support strip.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a lifting slot is provided at the top of the lifting handle.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This needle roller cleaning equipment for needle roller bearing production uses a pressure bar to apply pressure to the bottom of a soft metal mesh bag during ultrasonic cleaning of the needle rollers. This causes the bottom of the metal mesh bag to be lifted, which in turn causes the internal rollers to move. During the tumbling process, oil and impurities are quickly discharged, thus reducing cleaning time, eliminating the need for manual tumbling, reducing workload, and ensuring cleaning effect.

[0022] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of this utility model can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby providing a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of this utility model. The directional terms mentioned in this utility model, such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," "right," "top," and "bottom," are only for reference to the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for the purpose of explaining and understanding this utility model, and not for limiting this utility model.
[0023] like Figure 1-4 The needle roller cleaning equipment shown includes a cleaning tank 1, a vibrator 2, a hydraulic cylinder 3, a pressure bar 4, a insert plate 5, and a holding assembly 6. The vibrator 2 is installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1, the hydraulic cylinder 3 is installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1, the pressure bar 4 is fixedly installed at the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 3, the insert plate 5 is fixed inside the cleaning tank 1, and the holding assembly 6 is clamped inside the cleaning tank 1. The holding assembly 6 includes a basket frame 61, a clamping bar 62, a lifting handle 63, a limiting support bar 64, and a metal mesh bag 65. The clamping bar 62 is fixedly installed on the outside of the basket frame 61, the lifting handle 63 is fixedly installed on the inside of the basket frame 61, the limiting support bar 64 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the basket frame 61, and the metal mesh bag 65 is fixed to the bottom inside of the basket frame 61.
[0024] Specifically, the insert plate 5 is located at both ends inside the two sides of the cleaning pool 1, and a slot is provided in the middle to cooperate with the basket frame 61. The insert plate 5 has a slot on the inner side, and the locking strip 62 is locked in the slot on the inner side of the insert plate 5. The pressure strip 4 and the limiting support strip 64 are arranged in an alternating manner. The pressure strip 4 squeezes the bottom of the metal mesh bag 65, and the bottom of the metal mesh bag 65 contacts the inner side of the bottom of the limiting support strip 64. The top of the hoisting handle 63 is provided with a hoisting slot.
[0025] In this embodiment, the needle roller is placed in the basket frame 61, and the metal mesh bag 65 is supported by the limiting support strip 64, which effectively prevents the metal mesh bag 65 from bearing excessive pressure and falling off or breaking from the basket frame 61. After the lifting device lifts the holding component 6 through the lifting handle 63, it is placed in the cleaning pool 1 and locked in the slot between the insert plates 5. Then it moves to the side so that the locking strip 62 is locked in the inner slot of the insert plate 5, so that the insert plate 5 effectively supports the locking strip 62, and realizes the installation of the holding component 6.
[0026] Furthermore, during the cleaning process, the vibrator 2 is turned on to make the cleaning fluid vibrate at high frequency. The surface oil and impurities are effectively cleaned through ultrasonic cleaning. During the cleaning process, the oil cylinder 3 controls the pressure bar 4 to reciprocate. The two pressure bars 4 can move alternately to apply pressure to the bottom of the metal mesh bag 65. After the bottom of the metal mesh bag 65 is pressed, the internal rollers are lifted and rolled, realizing the tumbling of the internal rollers. This allows the impurities in the gaps to be better discharged, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect and reducing the cleaning time.
[0027] It should be noted that the parts not covered in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology; the various drives in this utility model can be implemented by corresponding power structures such as cylinders, oil cylinders, electric cylinders, and motors in conjunction with connecting rods, guide rods, etc., and are not limited to the structures described in the specification and the drawings.
