Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning machine technology, and in particular to a cleaning machine for ball screw processing. Background Technology

[0002] A ball screw is a transmission device that converts rotary motion into linear motion or vice versa. It features high precision, high efficiency, and high rigidity and is widely used in machine tools, robots, aerospace and other fields. After completion, ball screws usually need to undergo a cleaning process to remove oil and deposited particles.

[0003] When using a cleaning machine to clean ball screws, the ball screw is usually placed on a mesh conveyor belt. The conveyor belt moves the ball screw into the cleaning machine, where it is rinsed by cleaning agent sprayed from the nozzle. After rinsing, the surface of the ball screw may still have a lot of moisture, requiring manual wiping before the drying process. This results in low efficiency for the cleaning and drying process of ball screws. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the surface of the ball screw output after washing may have a lot of moisture, requiring manual wiping and drying before the drying process, which leads to low efficiency in the ball screw cleaning and drying process. Therefore, this invention proposes a cleaning machine for ball screw processing.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a cleaning machine for ball screw processing, comprising a machine body, wherein a conveyor belt is provided inside the machine body, the conveyor belt is composed of a mesh conveyor belt, a drive roller and a drive motor, the drive motor drives the drive roller to rotate and controls the movement of the mesh conveyor belt sleeved on the outside of the drive roller, an inlet pipe is provided at the top of the machine body, and several spray pipes are provided at the top of the inner part of the machine body, the spray pipes are connected to the inlet pipe through a pipeline, a drain pipe is provided on one side of the bottom of the machine body, a control valve is provided at one end of the drain pipe, and a water squeezing device is provided at one end of the machine body to squeeze out the water from the surface of the ball screw after cleaning.

[0006] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: When cleaning the ball screw with the cleaning machine, the cleaning agent delivery pipe is connected to the liquid inlet pipe at the top of the machine body. The drive motor of the conveyor belt is controlled by the control panel on one side of the machine body to move the mesh conveyor belt. Then, the ball screw is placed at one end of the mesh conveyor belt. The mesh conveyor belt drives the screw to move into the machine body. The pump connected to the outside of the liquid inlet pipe sprays the cleaning agent through the spray pipe inside the machine body onto the outer surface of the screw, rinsing the outer surface of the screw. Then, the screw will follow the movement of the mesh conveyor belt and exit through the other end of the machine body. Opening the control valve at the top of the drain pipe can discharge the cleaning agent inside the machine body.

[0007] Preferably, the dewatering device includes a rotating shaft, a sponge roller is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft, the two ends of the rotating shaft rotate at one end of the outer surface of the machine body, a servo motor is provided at one end of the outer surface of the machine body, the output end of the servo motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft through a coupling, a scraper is provided on the side of the outer surface of the machine body near the sponge roller, a drain pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the scraper, and one end of the drain pipe protrudes from one side of the outer surface of the machine body.

[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: By setting up the sponge roller, when using the cleaning machine, the servo motor at one end of the machine body can drive the rotating shaft to rotate, causing the sponge roller on the outer surface of the rotating shaft to rotate with the rotating shaft. When the ball screw output from the conveyor belt approaches the bottom of the sponge roller, the rotating sponge roller will contact the surface of the ball screw. By rotating the bottom surface of the sponge roller, the water remaining on the surface of the ball screw can be wiped away, minimizing the amount of water remaining on the surface of the ball screw after cleaning. When the surface of the sponge roller in contact with the ball screw rotates to the scraper, the sponge on the outer surface of the sponge roller will contact one end of the scraper. The scraper will squeeze out the water adsorbed on the sponge roller, and the squeezed water will enter the interior of the scraper and be discharged through the drain pipe on one side of the scraper.

[0009] Preferably, a protruding rod is fixedly connected to one end of the scraper, and the protruding rod protrudes from one end of the inner wall of the scraper.

[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting the protruding rod, the squeezing effect on the surface of the sponge roller when it comes into contact with the scraper surface can be improved.

[0011] Preferably, a baffle is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the scraper, and the baffle is located on the side of the top of the scraper away from the sponge roller.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that by setting up a baffle, one side above the scraper can be blocked, so that the water sprayed out when the sponge roller rotates can be blocked from entering the scraper.

[0013] Preferably, a positioning cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of the machine body, and one end surface of the rotating shaft is located inside the positioning cylinder.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that when the servo motor drives the shaft to rotate, the end of the shaft near the positioning cylinder will rotate inside the positioning cylinder. The positioning cylinder can further limit the angle between the shaft and the machine body, thereby improving the stability of the shaft during rotation.

[0015] Preferably, a collection device is provided at one end of the machine body. The collection device includes a collection box. Two rods are fixedly connected to one end of the collection box. Two slots are opened at one end of the machine body. A tray is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the collection box. The size and shape of the outer surface of the rods are adapted to the size and shape of the inner wall of the slot.

[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: When using the cleaning machine, the two rods at the top of the collection box can be inserted into the two slots at one end of the machine body. The collection box is installed at one end of the machine body with the tray close to the bottom of the conveyor belt. When the ball screw is removed, a small amount of water dripping will enter the outer surface of the tray and flow into the inside of the collection box along the surface of the tray. The collection box collects the dripping water, preventing water from dripping into the cleaning machine's operating environment and maintaining the cleanliness of the cleaning machine's operating environment.

[0017] Preferably, the outer surface of the insertion rod is fixedly connected with a plurality of protrusions, which are made of rubber and are arranged linearly on the outer surface of the insertion rod.

[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is that when the plug is inserted into the slot, the rubber protrusions on the outer surface of the plug can increase the friction between the plug and the inner wall of the slot, making the plug more secure when inserted into the slot.

[0019] Preferably, two auxiliary rods are fixedly connected to one side of the collection box, and the outer surface of the auxiliary rods is U-shaped.

[0020] The effect achieved by the above components is that the outer surfaces of the two U-shaped auxiliary rods held on one side of the collection box make it easier to pick up and disassemble the collection box.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] In this invention, by setting up a water-squeezing device, the ball screw, after being cleaned inside the machine body, enters under a rotating sponge roller. The rotating sponge roller wipes away the water remaining on the surface of the ball screw, and a scraper squeezes out the water inside the sponge roller. This allows the sponge roller to remove as much water as possible from the surface of the ball screw, eliminating the need for manual wiping of the cleaned ball screw surface and reducing the cost of cleaning the ball screw.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] Example 1, such as Figure 1-2 As shown, a cleaning machine for ball screw processing includes a machine body 1. Inside the machine body 1 is a conveyor belt 4, which consists of a mesh conveyor belt, a drive roller, and a drive motor. The drive motor rotates the drive roller, controlling the movement of the mesh conveyor belt fitted around the drive roller. A liquid inlet pipe 5 is located at the top of the machine body 1. Several spray nozzles are located at the top of the inner part of the machine body 1, connected to the liquid inlet pipe 5 via pipes. A drain pipe 6 is located on one side of the bottom of the machine body 1, with a control valve at one end. A water squeezing device 2 is located at one end of the machine body 1 to squeeze out water from the surface of the cleaned ball screw. The cleaning machine is used to clean the ball screw... When cleaning the screw, connect the cleaning agent delivery pipe to the liquid inlet pipe 5 at the top of the machine body 1. Control the drive motor of the conveyor belt 4 through the control panel on one side of the machine body 1 to move the mesh conveyor belt. Then place the ball screw at one end of the mesh conveyor belt. The mesh conveyor belt drives the screw to move into the machine body 1. The pump connected to the outside of the liquid inlet pipe 5 sprays the cleaning agent through the spray pipe inside the machine body 1 onto the outer surface of the screw to rinse the outer surface of the screw. Then the screw will follow the movement of the mesh conveyor belt and output through the other end of the machine body 1. Opening the control valve at the top of the drain pipe 6 can discharge the cleaning agent inside the machine body 1.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-3As shown in this embodiment: the dewatering device 2 includes a rotating shaft 22, with a sponge roller 23 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 22. The two ends of the rotating shaft 22 rotate at one end of the outer surface of the machine body 1. A servo motor 21 is installed at one end of the outer surface of the machine body 1, and the output end of the servo motor 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 22 via a coupling. A scraper 24 is installed on the side of the outer surface of the machine body 1 near the sponge roller 23, and a drain pipe 25 is fixedly connected to one side of the scraper 24. One end of the drain pipe 25 protrudes from one side of the outer surface of the machine body 1. By setting the sponge roller 23, when using the washing machine, the servo motor 21 at one end of the machine body 1 can be operated to drive the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, causing the sponge roller 23 on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 22 to rotate along with the rotating shaft 22. When the ball screw output from the conveyor belt 4 approaches the bottom of the sponge roller 23, the rotating sponge roller 23 will contact the surface of the ball screw. By rotating the bottom surface of the sponge roller 23, the ball screw can be deflected. The water remaining on the surface of the ball screw is wiped away to minimize the amount of water remaining on the surface of the ball screw after cleaning. When the surface of the sponge roller 23 in contact with the ball screw rotates to the scraper 24, the sponge on the outer surface of the sponge roller 23 will contact one end of the scraper 24. The scraper 24 squeezes out the water adsorbed on the sponge roller 23. The squeezed water will enter the interior of the scraper 24 and be discharged through the drain pipe 25 on one side of the scraper 24. By setting the water squeezing device 2, the ball screw that has been cleaned inside the machine body 1 enters under the rotating sponge roller 23. The rotating sponge roller 23 wipes away the water remaining on the surface of the ball screw, and the scraper 24 squeezes out the water inside the sponge roller 23. This allows the sponge roller 23 to remove as much water as possible from the surface of the ball screw, eliminating the need for manual wiping of the water on the surface of the cleaned ball screw and reducing the cost of cleaning the ball screw.

[0031] Reference Figure 2-3 As shown in this embodiment: a protruding rod 26 is fixedly connected to one end of the scraper 24. The protruding rod 26 protrudes from one end of the inner wall of the scraper 24. By setting the protruding rod 26, the squeezing effect on the surface of the sponge roller 23 when it contacts the surface of the scraper 24 can be improved. A baffle 27 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the scraper 24. The baffle 27 is located on the side of the top of the scraper 24 away from the sponge roller 23. By setting the baffle 27, the side above the scraper 24 can be blocked, so that the water sprayed out when the sponge roller 23 rotates can be blocked by the baffle 27 from entering the interior of the scraper 24. A positioning cylinder 28 is fixedly connected to one end of the machine body 1. One end of the rotating shaft 22 is located inside the positioning cylinder 28. When the rotating shaft 22 is driven to rotate by the servo motor 21, the end of the rotating shaft 22 close to the positioning cylinder 28 will rotate inside the positioning cylinder 28. The positioning cylinder 28 can further limit the angle between the rotating shaft 22 and the machine body 1, and improve the stability of the rotating shaft 22 when it rotates.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment: a collection device 3 is provided at one end of the machine body 1. The collection device 3 includes a collection box 32. Two insert rods 33 are fixedly connected to one end of the collection box 32. Two slots 31 are opened at one end of the machine body 1. A tray 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the collection box 32. The size and shape of the outer surface of the insert rods 33 are adapted to the size and shape of the inner wall of the slots 31. When using the cleaning machine, the two insert rods 33 at the top of the collection box 32 can be inserted into the two slots 31 at one end of the machine body 1. The collection box 32 is installed at one end of the machine body 1 and the tray 34 is close to the bottom of one end of the conveyor belt 4. When the ball screw is removed, a small amount of water dripping will enter the outer surface of the tray 34 and enter the interior of the collection box 32 along the surface of the tray 34. The collection box 32 collects the dripping water, so that the water will not drip into the cleaning machine's operating environment and keep the cleaning machine's operating environment clean.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in this embodiment: several protrusions 35 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the insertion rod 33. The protrusions 35 are made of rubber and are arranged linearly on the outer surface of the insertion rod 33. When the insertion rod 33 is inserted into the slot 31, the rubber protrusions 35 on the outer surface of the insertion rod 33 can increase the friction between the insertion rod 33 and the inner wall of the slot 31, making the insertion rod 33 more secure when inserted into the slot 31. Two auxiliary rods 36 are fixedly connected to one side of the collection box 32. The outer surface of the auxiliary rods 36 is U-shaped. Holding the outer surface of the two U-shaped auxiliary rods 36 on one side of the collection box 32 makes it easier to pick up and disassemble the collection box 32.

[0034] Working Principle: When cleaning the ball screw using the cleaning machine, insert the two rods 33 at the top of the collection box 32 into the two slots 31 at one end of the machine body 1. Install the collection box 32 at one end of the machine body 1 and place the tray 34 near the lower end of the conveyor belt 4. Then connect the cleaning agent delivery pipe to the liquid inlet pipe 5 at the top of the machine body 1. Control the drive motor of the conveyor belt 4 through the control panel on one side of the machine body 1 to move the mesh conveyor belt. Then place the ball screw at one end of the mesh conveyor belt. The mesh conveyor belt drives the screw to move into the machine body 1. The pump connected to the outside of the liquid inlet pipe 5 sprays the cleaning agent through the spray pipe inside the machine body 1 onto the outer surface of the screw, rinsing the outer surface of the screw. Then the screw will follow the movement of the mesh conveyor belt and exit through the other end of the machine body 1. The servo motor 21 at one end drives the rotating shaft 22 to rotate, causing the sponge roller 23 on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 22 to rotate with the rotating shaft 22. When the ball screw output from the conveyor belt 4 approaches the lower part of the sponge roller 23, the rotating sponge roller 23 will contact the surface of the ball screw. By rotating the bottom surface of the sponge roller 23, the water remaining on the surface of the ball screw can be wiped away, minimizing the water remaining on the surface of the ball screw after cleaning. When the surface of the sponge roller 23 in contact with the ball screw rotates to the scraper 24, the sponge on the outer surface of the sponge roller 23 will contact one end of the scraper 24. The water adsorbed on the sponge roller 23 is squeezed out by the scraper 24. The squeezed water will enter the interior of the scraper 24 and be discharged through the drain pipe 25 on one side of the scraper 24. Opening the control valve at the top of the drain pipe 6 can discharge the cleaning agent inside the machine body 1.
