Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of parts cleaning technology, specifically a cleaning mechanism for injection molded parts. Background Technology

[0002] A parts cleaning mechanism, also known as a parts cleaning machine, is a device typically used to clean certain parts on a lathe.

[0003] An existing patent (publication number: CN219211007U) discloses a parts cleaning mechanism, belonging to the field of parts cleaning technology. It includes a cleaning body with a cover on top. Several switch buttons are fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning body. A partition device is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning body, and several protective devices are provided on one side of the cleaning body. When cleaning parts placed on the inner wall of the cleaning body, the present invention allows for manual manipulation of the first partition according to the size of the parts. The first partition is manually held and placed in a rectangular groove on the inner wall of the cleaning body to hold it in place. Then, the second partition is manually held, and a limiting groove on one side is engaged with the outer surface of the first partition to the corresponding position. A bolt is then manually screwed into the threaded hole and threaded groove to fix the second partition on the first partition. Finally, the parts are placed in the gap between the first and second partitions, preventing friction and scratches between the parts during cleaning.

[0004] While the devices described in the aforementioned comparative documents can adjust the partition distance to prevent friction and scratches between parts during cleaning, these parts cleaning mechanisms use bolt-fixed partition structures. Although the partition spacing is adjustable, the bolts are prone to loss and disassembly is cumbersome. Furthermore, the anti-collision strips on the partitions are mostly fixed designs, making replacement difficult after long-term wear, affecting cleaning effectiveness and part protection. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a cleaning mechanism that allows for quick and easy adjustment of partition spacing, prevents fastener loss, and facilitates easy replacement of anti-collision strips. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this application provides a cleaning mechanism for injection molded parts, which features easy and quick adjustment of the partition spacing, prevention of fastener loss, and easy replacement of anti-collision strips.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a cleaning mechanism for injection molded parts, comprising a cleaning body, a rectangular groove, and a separating device. The rectangular groove is formed inside the cleaning body, and the separating device is disposed inside the cleaning body. The separating device includes a first partition plate, the size and shape of the outer surface of the first partition plate being adapted to the size and shape of the inner wall of the rectangular groove. A second partition plate is provided at the upper end of the first partition plate, and a limiting groove is formed inside the second partition plate. A T-shaped slider is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the limiting groove. A first T-shaped sliding groove is formed on the upper surface of the first partition plate, and the T-shaped slider is movably connected to the first T-shaped sliding groove. Inside the groove, the second partition is movably connected to the upper end of the first partition via a T-shaped slider and a first T-shaped groove. Both the T-shaped slider and the second partition have through holes, which are vertically aligned. A locking rod is movably connected inside the two sets of through holes. The first T-shaped groove has multiple locking holes, which are evenly distributed inside the first T-shaped groove. The lower end of the locking rod is engaged inside the locking hole. A spring is sleeved on the upper surface of the locking rod. A handle is fixedly connected to the upper end of the locking rod. The upper end of the spring is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the handle. The lower end of the spring is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the second partition.

[0007] The above solution utilizes a partitioning device. A spring-loaded locking rod engages with equidistant locking holes, allowing the second partition to slide freely by pulling the handle with one hand. Upon release, the partition automatically resets and locks. Compared to bolt fixing, this method improves adjustment efficiency and completely solves the problem of lost fasteners. The precise fit between the T-shaped slider and the first T-shaped groove ensures the partition maintains positioning accuracy even under high-pressure water flow. The combination of the second T-shaped groove with the first and second magnetic blocks allows for manual disassembly and replacement of the anti-collision strips, reducing maintenance time. The equidistant arrangement of multiple anti-collision strips forms an elastic buffer matrix, increasing the energy absorption rate of collisions and making it particularly suitable for protecting precision injection-molded parts.

[0008] Furthermore, the first partition plate has connecting holes on both the left and right sides, and the connecting holes are connected to the first T-shaped sliding groove. The left and right lengths of the connecting holes are greater than the thickness of the second partition plate.

[0009] With the above solution, the second partition can be installed and removed when the first partition is installed inside the rectangular groove, through the connecting holes on both sides of the first partition.

[0010] Furthermore, a second T-shaped groove is formed on the surface of the second partition, and an anti-collision strip is installed inside the second T-shaped groove. A first magnetic block is provided on the rear side of both the upper and lower ends of the anti-collision strip, and a second magnetic block is provided on both the upper and lower ends of the second T-shaped groove. The first magnetic block and the second magnetic block cooperate with each other.

[0011] With the above method, during the cleaning process, the contact surface of the anti-collision strip absorbs impact energy through elastic deformation. When the anti-collision strip on one side is worn, the old anti-collision strip can be directly pulled out by hand for replacement.

[0012] Furthermore, the anti-collision strips are provided in multiple sets and are evenly distributed on the left and right sides of the second partition.

[0013] The above solution, with multiple sets of anti-collision strips, provides more comprehensive protection during the parts cleaning process.

[0014] Furthermore, the handle, locking lever, and spring are all made of stainless steel.

[0015] The above solution, which uses stainless steel for the handle, locking lever, and spring, improves the lifespan of the device.

[0016] Furthermore, a switch button is provided on the front side of the cleaning machine body, and a protective cover is movably connected to the front side of the cleaning machine body, with the protective cover located at the front end of the switch button.

[0017] The above solution ensures that the protective cover protects the switch button.

[0018] Furthermore, a third magnetic block is provided on the surface of the protective cover, and a fourth magnetic block is provided on the front side of the cleaning machine body, with the third and fourth magnetic blocks cooperating with each other.

[0019] With the above solution, when the protective cover is opened, the third and fourth magnetic blocks automatically attach to each other, making it easy to operate the switch buttons.

[0020] Furthermore, the upper end of the cleaning machine body is provided with an organic cover, and both the first partition and the second partition are water-permeable plates.

[0021] With the above scheme, both the first and second partitions are permeable plates. During cleaning, the cleaning fluid can penetrate vertically through the holes in the partitions to form a three-dimensional cross-flow, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] This injection-molded parts cleaning mechanism features a partitioning device. A spring-loaded locking rod engages with equidistant locking holes, allowing for easy unlocking and sliding of the second partition by pulling the handle with one hand. Upon release, the partition automatically resets and locks. Compared to bolt-fixed methods, this improves adjustment efficiency and completely eliminates the problem of lost fasteners. The precise fit between the T-shaped slider and the first T-shaped groove ensures the partition maintains positioning accuracy even under high-pressure water flow. The combination of the second T-shaped groove with the first and second magnetic blocks allows for manual removal and replacement of the anti-collision strips, reducing maintenance time. The equidistant arrangement of multiple anti-collision strips forms an elastic buffer matrix, increasing the energy absorption rate of collisions and making it particularly suitable for protecting precision injection-molded parts.

[0032] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 This embodiment of a cleaning mechanism for injection molded parts includes a cleaning body 1, a rectangular groove 2, and a separating device 3. The rectangular groove 2 is formed inside the cleaning body 1, and the separating device 3 is disposed inside the cleaning body 1. The separating device 3 includes a first partition 301, the size and shape of which are adapted to the size and shape of the inner wall of the rectangular groove 2. A second partition 302 is provided at the upper end of the first partition 301. A limiting groove 315 is formed inside the second partition 302, and a T-shaped slider 303 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the limiting groove 315. A first T-shaped groove 304 is formed on the upper surface of the first partition 301, and the T-shaped slider 303 is movably connected inside the first T-shaped groove 304. The second partition 302 is movably connected to the upper end of the first partition 301 through the T-shaped slider 303 and the first T-shaped groove 304. Each partition 302 has through holes 305, with two sets of through holes 305 corresponding vertically. Locking rods 307 are movably connected inside the two sets of through holes 305. Multiple locking holes 306 are evenly distributed within the first T-shaped slide groove 304. The lower end of the locking rod 307 engages inside the locking hole 306. A spring 308 is sleeved on the upper surface of the locking rod 307. A handle 309 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the locking rod 307. The upper end of the spring 308 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the handle 309. The lower end of the spring 308 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the second partition 302. By using the partition device 3, and through the pre-tightened locking rod 307 engaged with the equidistant locking holes 306, pulling the handle 309 with one hand releases the lock and allows the second partition 302 to slide. After release, it automatically resets and locks. Compared to bolt fixing, this method improves adjustment efficiency and completely solves the problem of lost fasteners. The precise fit between the T-shaped slider 303 and the first T-shaped groove 304 ensures that the partition maintains its positioning accuracy under the impact of high-pressure water flow. The combination design of the second T-shaped groove 310 with the first magnetic block 312 and the second magnetic block 313 allows the anti-collision strip 311 to be disassembled and replaced by hand, reducing maintenance time. The equidistant arrangement of multiple sets of anti-collision strips 311 forms an elastic buffer matrix, improving the energy absorption rate of collisions and making it particularly suitable for the protection of precision injection molded parts.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 The first partition 301 has connecting holes 314 on both its left and right sides, which are connected to the first T-shaped slide groove 304. The length of the connecting holes 314 is greater than the thickness of the second partition 302. The surface of the second partition 302 has a second T-shaped slide groove 310. A bumper strip 311 is installed inside the second T-shaped slide groove 310. A first magnetic block 312 is provided on the rear side of both the upper and lower ends of the bumper strip 311. A second magnetic block 313 is provided on both the upper and lower ends of the second T-shaped slide groove 310. The first magnetic block 312 and the second magnetic block 313... The 13 components work together, and multiple sets of anti-collision strips 311 are evenly distributed on the left and right sides of the second partition 302. The second partition 302 can be installed and removed through the connecting holes 314 on both sides of the first partition 301 when the first partition 301 is installed inside the rectangular groove 2. During the cleaning process, the contact surface of the anti-collision strip 311 absorbs the impact energy through elastic deformation. When the anti-collision strip 311 on one side is worn, the old anti-collision strip 311 can be directly pulled out by hand for replacement. The setting of multiple sets of anti-collision strips 311 provides more comprehensive protection for the parts during the cleaning process.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The handle 309, locking lever 307, and spring 308 are all made of stainless steel. A switch button 5 is located on the front side of the cleaning body 1. A protective cover 6 is movably connected to the front side of the cleaning body 1. The protective cover 6 is located at the front end of the switch button 5. A third magnetic block 7 is located on the surface of the protective cover 6. A fourth magnetic block 8 is located on the front side of the cleaning body 1. The third magnetic block 7 and the fourth magnetic block 8 cooperate with each other. An organic cover 4 is located at the top of the cleaning body 1. The first partition 301 and the second partition 302 are both water-permeable plates. The use of stainless steel for the handle 309, locking lever 307, and spring 308 improves the service life of the device. The protective cover 6 protects the switch button 5. When the protective cover 6 is opened, the third magnetic block 7 and the fourth magnetic block 8 automatically attract each other, making it easy to operate the switch button 5. The first partition 301 and the second partition 302 are both water-permeable plates. During cleaning, the cleaning fluid can vertically penetrate the holes of the partition to form a three-dimensional cross-flow, improving cleaning efficiency.

[0036] In this embodiment, by setting up a partition device 3, the locking rod 307, pre-tightened by a spring 308, and the equidistant locking holes 306 are engaged, the second partition 302 can be unlocked and slid by pulling up the handle 309 with one hand, and automatically reset and locked after release. Compared with the bolt fixing method, the adjustment efficiency is improved and the problem of fastener loss is completely solved. The precise cooperation between the T-shaped slider 303 and the first T-shaped groove 304 ensures that the partition maintains its positioning accuracy under the impact of high-pressure water flow. The combination design of the second T-shaped groove 310 with the first magnetic block 312 and the second magnetic block 313 allows the anti-collision strip 311 to be disassembled and replaced by hand, shortening the maintenance time. The equidistant arrangement of multiple sets of anti-collision strips 311 forms an elastic buffer matrix, which improves the energy absorption rate of the parts during collision, and is particularly suitable for the protection of precision injection molded parts.

[0037] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to adjust the lateral position of the second partition 302, the operator pulls up the handle 309, causing the locking rod 307 to move upward against the pressure of the spring 308, so that the lower end of the locking rod 307 disengages from the locking hole 306. At this time, the second partition 302 slides freely to the target position along the first T-shaped slide groove 304 via the T-shaped slider 303. After releasing the handle 309, the spring 308 pushes the locking rod 307 to automatically insert into the nearest locking hole 306, completing the positioning. Through the connecting holes 314 on both sides of the first partition 301, the second partition 302 can be installed and removed when the first partition 301 is installed inside the rectangular groove 2. The anti-collision strip 311 is embedded in the second partition 302 through the second T-shaped slide groove 310, and the first magnetic block 312 on its back generates an adsorption force with the second magnetic block 313 in the second T-shaped slide groove 310. During the cleaning process, the contact surface of the anti-collision strip 311 absorbs impact energy through elastic deformation. When the anti-collision strip 311 on one side is worn, the old anti-collision strip 311 can be directly pulled out by hand for replacement. The first partition 301 and the second partition 302 are both permeable plates. During cleaning, the cleaning fluid can penetrate vertically through the holes of the partition to form a three-dimensional cross water flow, which improves the cleaning efficiency. When the protective cover 6 is opened, the third magnetic block 7 and the fourth magnetic block 8 automatically attract each other, making it easy to operate the switch button 5.
