Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of steel ball production equipment, specifically relating to an improved steel ball cleaning equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Steel balls are common industrial parts, typically made of carbon steel, stainless steel, or other alloy steel. They are usually spherical, possess very high hardness and wear resistance, and are widely used in various fields. During the manufacturing process, after grinding and other treatments, the surface of the steel balls may accumulate debris or oil, necessitating cleaning.
[0003] Most existing steel ball rust prevention devices completely immerse the steel balls in a cleaning tank and use rotating cleaning rollers to clean them. However, because the steel balls accumulate, the bottom balls may still not be thoroughly cleaned, and removing them afterwards is quite cumbersome. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an improved steel ball cleaning device.
[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] An improved steel ball cleaning device includes a cleaning tank and a pull-out plate. The cleaning tank contains a cleaning chamber. Linear guide rails are symmetrically arranged on the top of the cleaning chamber, and a conveying pipe is strung between the linear guide rails. Multiple nozzles are installed at the bottom of the conveying pipe, and multiple storage cylinders are located below the nozzles. Multiple through holes are evenly distributed on each storage cylinder. Fixed plates are installed at both ends of each storage cylinder, and a rotating shaft is installed between the fixed plates. A bearing sleeve is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating shaft and is mounted on a baffle plate. A drive motor is driven to the other end of the rotating shaft and is installed in a drive housing. Slide rails are installed between the bottom sides of the baffle plate and the pull-out plate. The slide rails are slidably mounted on a slide block, which is mounted on one side of a support base. The support base is installed at the bottom of the cleaning chamber.
[0007] Furthermore, the storage cylinder is an openable type, including an upper cover cylinder and a lower cover cylinder. A pin is provided on one side of the upper cover cylinder and the lower cover cylinder, and an upper connecting strip and a lower connecting strip are respectively provided on the other side of the upper cover cylinder and the lower cover cylinder.
[0008] Furthermore, both ends of the lower cover cylinder are fixedly mounted on a fixing plate.
[0009] Furthermore, both ends of the upper and lower connecting strips are provided with mounting holes.
[0010] Furthermore, a slider is slidably mounted on the linear guide rail, and the delivery pipe is mounted on the slider.
[0011] Furthermore, the drive box is mounted on a pull-out plate.
[0012] Furthermore, an inlet pipe is connected to one side of the delivery pipe, and the inlet pipe is a stretchable stainless steel flexible hose.
[0013] Furthermore, one end of the inlet pipe is connected to a storage tank, which is installed on the outside of the cleaning tank.
[0014] Furthermore, handles are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pull-out plate.
[0015] Furthermore, both the drive motor and the linear guide rail are electrically connected to an external industrial control computer.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are mainly reflected in:
[0017] 1) By using multiple nozzles in conjunction with sliders and linear guides, the nozzles move above the storage cylinder. The high-pressure impact water flow improves the cleaning efficiency, and the drive motor drives the rotation of the storage cylinder, effectively cleaning debris or oil stains and other impurities on the surface of the steel balls.
[0018] 2) At the same time, the pull plate, together with the slide rail and slide base, enables the storage cylinder to be quickly extracted, and the opening and closing storage cylinder makes it easier to remove the steel balls later. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can more clearly understand how to practice this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in conjunction with its preferred embodiments, these embodiments are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0026] Combined with appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, an improved steel ball cleaning device includes a cleaning tank 1 and a pull-out plate 2. The cleaning tank 1 contains a cleaning chamber 6. Linear guide rails 5 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the cleaning chamber 6. A conveying pipe 8 is strung between the linear guide rails 5. Multiple nozzles 9 are installed at the bottom of the conveying pipe 8. The nozzles 9 are high-pressure nozzles capable of generating high-impact water flow to effectively remove stubborn stains and impurities. Multiple storage cylinders 10 are arranged below the nozzles 9. Multiple through holes 13 are evenly distributed on the storage cylinders 10. The diameter of the through holes 13 is smaller than that of the steel ball to be cleaned. The diameter of the bead is specified. Fixed plates 12 are installed at both ends of the storage cylinder 10. A rotating shaft 16 is installed between the fixed plates 12. A bearing sleeve 15 is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating shaft 16. The bearing sleeve 15 is installed on the baffle 14. A drive motor is connected to the other end of the rotating shaft 16. The drive motor is installed in the drive box 4. Slide rails 17 are installed between the bottom sides of the baffle 14 and the pull-out plate 2. The slide rails 17 are slidably installed on the slide base 18. The slide base 18 is installed on one side of the support base 19. The support base 19 is installed at the bottom of the cleaning chamber 6.
[0027] Specifically, the storage cylinder 10 is an openable type, including an upper cover cylinder and a lower cover cylinder. A pin 20 is provided on one side of the upper cover cylinder and the lower cover cylinder. The pin 20 is used to realize the hinge connection between the upper cover cylinder and the lower cover cylinder so that the upper cover cylinder can be opened upward, making it easier to pick up and put in the steel ball. An upper connecting strip 21 and a lower connecting strip 23 are respectively provided on the other side of the upper cover cylinder and the lower cover cylinder.
[0028] Specifically, the lower cover cylinder is fixedly installed on the fixing plate 12 at both ends, that is, the upper cover cylinder is not fixedly installed on the fixing plate 12 at both ends, so that the upper cover cylinder can be opened upward.
[0029] Specifically, both ends of the upper connecting strip 21 and the lower connecting strip 23 are provided with mounting holes 22. The mounting holes 22 are used to connect the upper connecting strip 21 and the lower connecting strip 23 by bolts, so that the upper cover tube and the lower cover tube can be closed and stabilized to prevent the steel ball from falling out.
[0030] Specifically, a slider 7 is slidably mounted on the linear guide rail 5, and the conveying pipe 8 is mounted on the slider 7. By sliding the slider 7 on the linear guide rail 5, the conveying pipe 8 can move above the storage cylinder 10 to better clean the steel balls in the storage cylinder 10. Multiple conveying pipes 8 can be set as needed, and multiple sliders 7 can be set together to enhance the cleaning effect.
[0031] Specifically, the drive box 4 is mounted on the pull-out plate 2, that is, the drive box 4 is external. The drive box 4 is used to install multiple drive motors. The output shaft of the drive motor passes through the pull-out plate 2 and is connected to the rotating shaft 16 through a coupling to start the drive motor, thereby driving the rotation of the rotating shaft 16 and the storage cylinder 10.
[0032] Specifically, one side of the delivery pipe 8 is connected to an inlet pipe 11, which is a stretchable stainless steel flexible hose so that the inlet pipe 11 can be stretched along with the delivery pipe 8 when it moves.
[0033] Specifically, one end of the liquid inlet pipe 11 is connected to a liquid storage tank 24, which is installed on the outside of the cleaning tank 1. The liquid storage tank 1 is used to store cleaning liquid and supply liquid to the liquid inlet pipe 11.
[0034] Specifically, handles 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pull-out plate 2. Pulling out the pull-out plate 2 by using the handles 3 facilitates the subsequent handling of steel balls.
[0035] Specifically, both the drive motor and the linear guide rail 5 are electrically connected to an external industrial control computer, which then performs automatic control.
[0036] In addition, a sewage discharge box can be installed below the bottom storage cylinder 10 of the cleaning chamber 6, and a sewage discharge pipe can be installed in the sewage discharge box to discharge sewage. The inner surface of the storage cylinder 10 is also provided with an elastic rubber layer to prevent damage to the steel balls.
[0037] The specific cleaning working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0038] Open the upper cover cylinder, place the steel balls to be cleaned into the lower cover cylinder, close the upper cover cylinder, and secure the upper connecting strip 21 and the lower connecting strip 23 tightly by bolting them together at the mounting hole 22. Controlled by an external industrial control computer, start the drive motor to rotate the rotating shaft 16 and the storage cylinder 10, causing some iron filings on the steel balls to fall off through the through hole 13 upon impact. Simultaneously, controlled by the external industrial control computer, drive the slider 7 to slide on the linear guide rail 5, enabling the conveying pipe 8 to move above the storage cylinder 10, allowing the nozzles 9 to better clean the steel balls inside the storage cylinder 10. The cleaning fluid is delivered through the storage tank 1 to the inlet pipe 11, and then through the conveying pipe 8 to multiple nozzles 9.
[0039] After cleaning, the multiple storage cylinders 10 are pulled out of the cleaning chamber 6 using the handle 3, slide rail 17, and slide block 18. Then, the bolts are removed, the upper cover cylinder is opened, and the storage cylinder 10 is rotated to remove the steel balls from the lower cover cylinder.
[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any modifications and substitutions based on the technical solutions and inventive concepts provided by the present utility model should be covered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
