Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning box equipment technology, and in particular to an air blowing box for cleaning product surfaces. Background Technology
[0002] Long valve plates have multiple curved surfaces and round holes, making them difficult and time-consuming to machine. With the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, automated processing has become mainstream, thereby liberating productivity and improving processing efficiency. To solve the above problems and keep pace with the times, there are existing automated workstations suitable for automated product loading and unloading and cleaning. Existing product cleaning air-blowing boxes have multiple air-blowing connectors. A robot grabs the product and extends it into the air-blowing box, using the robot's movement to achieve the air-blowing and debris removal function. This structure requires a separate robot for the air-blowing box, which is not only costly but also takes up space. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The main purpose of this invention is to provide an air blowing box for cleaning product surfaces, so as to solve the problems of high cost and space occupation caused by separately equipping robots in the prior art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an air-blowing box for cleaning product surfaces, comprising: a box body with an opening on the front side; an air-blowing assembly including a guide rail, a drive mechanism, a slider, and an air-blowing frame, wherein the guide rail and the drive mechanism are respectively horizontally fixed on the rear wall of the box body, the slider is slidably mounted on the guide rail, and the outer rear end of the air-blowing frame is fixedly connected to the slider, and the drive mechanism is used to drive the air-blowing frame to move horizontally; a plurality of air-blowing heads are fixedly mounted circumferentially on the inner side of the air-blowing frame, forming an air-blowing space between the plurality of air-blowing heads; and an air-blowing positioning mechanism for horizontally positioning the product inside the rear side of the box body and allowing the product to horizontally pass through the air-blowing space.
[0005] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are that multiple air blowing heads arranged circumferentially in the air blowing frame form a three-dimensional air blowing space. The air blowing frame is driven to move horizontally by the drive mechanism, and the product can be simultaneously blown from multiple angles in one movement. This greatly reduces the number of air blowing mechanisms and corresponding drive mechanisms required for all-round cleaning of the product's circumference, simplifies the internal structure of the air blowing box, and reduces the overall production cost. The air blowing positioning mechanism directly fixes the product horizontally, eliminating the need for complex pneumatic adjustments of robot clamping or clamping mechanisms. This not only improves the utilization rate of the robot but also reduces the workpiece clamping time, making it particularly suitable for batch processing. In addition, the air blowing space can be adapted to products of different sizes, eliminating the need for frequent adjustments to the clamping mechanism or the position of the air blowing components, thus expanding the application range of the equipment.
[0006] Furthermore, the air-blowing positioning mechanism includes a first positioning seat and a second positioning seat. The first positioning seat is fixedly disposed at one end of the guide rail, and the second positioning seat is disposed at the other end of the guide rail. The first positioning seat has a first positioning groove with an upward opening, and the second positioning seat has a second positioning groove with an upward opening. The first positioning groove and the second positioning groove cooperate to position the product horizontally. The first and second positioning seats ensure accurate positioning of the product during cleaning, improving the cleaning effect. The positioning seat structure is simple, easy to implement, and easy to maintain. The first and second positioning grooves are symmetrically arranged to ensure that the product can stably pass through the air-blowing space during cleaning.
[0007] Furthermore, sensors are respectively installed on the guide rail outside the first and second positioning seats. These sensors are used to detect the product placement status. The sensors are used to detect whether the product is correctly placed on the first and second positioning seats.
[0008] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a rodless cylinder, a connecting rod, a first connecting plate, and a second connecting plate. The rodless cylinder is horizontally fixedly disposed on the rear side of the housing. The connecting rod is forward-fixed on the driving block of the rodless cylinder. The first connecting plate is vertically fixedly disposed at the front end of the connecting rod and fixedly connected to the slider. The second connecting plate is horizontally fixedly disposed on the first connecting plate, and the air-blowing frame is upward-fixed on the second connecting plate. This configuration achieves stable driving of the air-blowing frame, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire driving mechanism.
[0009] Furthermore, an angle positioning mechanism is provided on the top of the housing. This mechanism includes two positioning blocks, a support rod, and a positioning rod. The support rod is fixedly mounted upwards on the top of the housing. One end of the positioning rod is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod, and the other end is fixedly connected to the top of the housing. The positioning rod forms an inclined angle with the housing. The two positioning blocks are respectively positioned on the upper parts of both ends of the positioning rod. The positioning rod forms an angle with the top surface of the housing, creating a ramp. The positioning blocks are made of a low-friction material, allowing the product to slide down to the bottom under gravity after placement. A proximity switch at the bottom detects whether the product is in position.
[0010] Furthermore, a chip collection funnel is provided at the bottom of the housing, and a collection box is provided below the chip collection funnel. Iron filings and cutting fluid fall from the chip collection funnel into the collection box due to gravity, making the structure simple and easy to clean. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0018] This application provides an air blowing box for cleaning product surfaces, which solves the problems of high cost and space occupation caused by separately equipping robots in the prior art.
[0019] The technical solution in this application embodiment aims to address the issues of high cost and space occupation caused by separately equipping a robot. The overall approach is as follows:
[0020] Multiple air blowing heads arranged circumferentially in the air blowing frame form a three-dimensional air blowing space. The air blowing frame is driven to move horizontally by a drive mechanism, and the product can be simultaneously blown from multiple angles in a single movement. This greatly reduces the number of air blowing mechanisms and corresponding drive mechanisms required for all-round cleaning of the product's circumference, simplifies the internal structure of the air blowing box, and reduces the overall production cost. The air blowing positioning mechanism directly fixes the product horizontally, eliminating the need for complex pneumatic adjustments of robot clamping or clamping mechanisms. This not only improves the utilization rate of the robot but also reduces workpiece clamping time, making it particularly suitable for batch processing. In addition, the air blowing space can accommodate products of different sizes without the need for frequent adjustments to the clamping mechanism or the position of the air blowing components, thus expanding the application range of the equipment.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0022] like Figure 1-4 As shown, an air-blowing box for cleaning product surfaces includes:
[0023] The box 1 has an opening on its front side and an angle positioning mechanism 2 on its top. The angle positioning mechanism 2 includes two positioning blocks 21, a support rod 22, and a positioning rod 23. The support rod 22 is fixedly mounted on the top of the box 1. One end of the positioning rod 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rod 22, and the other end of the positioning rod 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the box 1. The positioning rod 23 forms an inclined angle with the box 1, which is a ramp. The two positioning blocks 21 are respectively located on the upper part of the two ends of the positioning rod 23. The positioning blocks 21 are made of low-friction material, so that the product can slide to the bottom by gravity after being placed. There is a proximity switch at the bottom to detect whether the product is in position. A chip collection funnel 11 is set at the bottom of the box 1, and a collection box 12 is set below the chip collection funnel 11. Iron filings and cutting fluid fall from the chip collection funnel 11 into the collection box 12 due to gravity. The structure is simple and easy to clean.
[0024] The air blowing assembly 3 includes a guide rail 31, a drive mechanism, a slider 36, and an air blowing frame 37. The guide rail 31 and the drive mechanism are horizontally fixed on the rear wall of the housing 1. The slider 36 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 31. The outer rear end of the air blowing frame 37 is fixedly connected to the slider 36. The drive mechanism is used to drive the air blowing frame 37 to move horizontally. Five air blowing heads are fixedly mounted circumferentially on the inner side of the air blowing frame 37, forming an air blowing space between the five air blowing heads. The drive mechanism includes a rodless cylinder 32, a connecting rod 33, a first connecting plate 34, and a second connecting plate 35. The rodless cylinder 32 is horizontally fixed on the rear side of the housing 1. The connecting rod 33 is fixedly mounted forward on the drive block of the rodless cylinder 32. The first connecting plate 34 is vertically fixed on the front end of the connecting rod 33 and fixedly connected to the slider 36. The second connecting plate 35 is horizontally fixed forward on the first connecting plate 34. The air blowing frame 37 is fixed upward on the second connecting plate 35.
[0025] The air-blowing positioning mechanism 4 is used to horizontally position the product inside the rear side of the housing 1 and to make the product horizontally pass through the air-blowing space. To ensure accurate product positioning during cleaning and improve cleaning effectiveness, the air-blowing positioning mechanism 4 includes a first positioning seat 41 and a second positioning seat 42. The first positioning seat 41 is fixedly mounted at one end of the guide rail 31, and the second positioning seat 42 is mounted at the other end of the guide rail 31. To ensure stable product passage through the air-blowing space during cleaning, the first positioning seat 41 is provided with a first positioning groove 43 with an upward opening, and the second positioning seat 42 is provided with a second positioning groove 44 with an upward opening. That is, the first positioning groove 43 and the second positioning groove 44 are symmetrically arranged, and the first positioning groove 43 and the second positioning groove 44 work together to position the product horizontally. Sensors are respectively installed on the guide rail 31 on the outside of the first positioning seat 41 and the second positioning seat 42. The sensors are used to detect the product placement status. In addition to the above-mentioned structure of the first positioning seat 41 and the second positioning seat 42, the air-blowing positioning mechanism 4 can also adopt the existing gripper structure. During operation, the gripper structure holds one end of the product to fix it, and the product passes through the air-blowing space for air-blowing cleaning.
[0026] The technical solutions described in the embodiments of this application above have at least the following technical effects:
[0027] Multiple air blowing heads arranged circumferentially in the air blowing frame 37 form a three-dimensional air blowing space. The air blowing frame 37 is driven to move horizontally by the rodless cylinder 32. In one movement, the product can be simultaneously blown from multiple angles. This greatly reduces the number of air blowing mechanisms and corresponding drive mechanisms required for all-round cleaning of the product's circumference, simplifies the internal structure of the housing 11, and reduces the overall production cost. The air blowing positioning mechanism 4 directly fixes the product horizontally, eliminating the need for complex pneumatic adjustments of the robot clamping or clamping mechanism. This not only improves the utilization rate of the robot but also reduces the workpiece clamping time, making it particularly suitable for batch processing. In addition, the air blowing space can accommodate products of different sizes, eliminating the need for frequent adjustments to the clamping mechanism or the position of the air blowing components, thus expanding the application range of the equipment.
