[0020] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.
[0021] This application discloses a cleaning device for producing worm gears in speed reducers, referring to... Figure 1-3The system includes a cleaning mechanism and a worm gear bearing mechanism 2. The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning tank 1. The cleaning tank 1 is provided with an immersion tank 11, a spray pipe assembly 12 and an air knife assembly 13 arranged from bottom to top. The cleaning tank 1 has a feeding port on its side, which is located at the top of the immersion tank 11. The cleaning tank 1 also has an overflow port 111 on its side corresponding to the position of the immersion tank 11. The overflow port 111 can drain the upper layer of foam. The feeding port is equipped with an openable and closable sealing door 14.
[0022] The worm gear support mechanism 2 is installed inside the cleaning tank 1. The worm gear support mechanism 2 includes a servo linear slide 21, a support plate 22, a placement frame 23, a waterproof geared motor 24, a turntable 25, and a connecting rod 26. The servo linear slide 21 is vertically fixed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1, and the bottom end of the servo linear slide 21 extends into the soaking tank 11. The support plate 22 is fixed on the slide of the servo linear slide 21. A U-shaped groove 221 is opened on the surface of the support plate 22. The placement frame 23 is slidably disposed in the U-shaped groove 221. The waterproof geared motor 24 is fixed on the support plate 22. The turntable 25 is fixed on the output shaft of the waterproof geared motor 24. One end of the connecting rod 26 is hinged to the placement frame 23, and the other end of the connecting rod 26 is eccentrically rotatably connected to the turntable 25. Several placement grids 231 are evenly arranged inside the placement frame 23, and the surface of each placement grid 231 is provided with a soft anti-collision pad.
[0023] The spray pipe assembly 12 includes an upper spray pipe and a lower spray pipe. Several nozzles are evenly installed on the upper spray pipe and the lower spray pipe respectively. The spray range of the nozzles can cover the placement frame 23.
[0024] The air knife assembly 13 includes an upper air knife and a lower air knife. The air outlets of the upper and lower air knives are both set towards the placement frame 23, and the upper and lower air knives are respectively connected to an air inlet. For ease of manufacturing, the upper spray pipe, lower spray pipe, upper air knife, and lower air knife are all set in a U-shape.

[0026] The implementation principle of a cleaning device for producing worm gear reducers according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:
[0027] When in use, open the sealing door 14, and the staff will place the worm gears in the placement grid 231 one by one. After closing the sealing door 14, the waterproof geared motor 24 will drive the placement frame 23 to move back and forth along the U-shaped groove 221 via the turntable 25 and the connecting rod 26. The worm gears in the placement grid 231 will also roll back and forth. During the subsequent cleaning process, it can play a stirring role. The servo linear slide 21 will first drive the placement frame 23 into the soaking tank 11. In the soaking tank 11, the impurities attached to the surface can be cleaned by ultrasonic vibration, and the grease and residue in the detergent can be quickly dissolved by warm water.
[0028] Afterwards, the servo linear slide 21 drives the placement frame 23 to move to the spray pipe assembly 12. The upper and lower spray pipes rinse the placement frame 23 multiple times. The flowing water can quickly remove the detergent. After rinsing, the servo linear slide 21 drives the placement frame 23 to move to the air knife assembly 13. The upper and lower air knives work alternately, which can quickly dry the placement frame 23 and the worm gear. Finally, the material can be discharged from the loading port.
[0029] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
