Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motorcycle engine housing production technology, and in particular to an engine housing cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] During the production of motorcycle engine housings, after machining processes such as casting, cutting, and drilling, the surface retains contaminants such as metal shavings, cutting fluid, grease, and rust inhibitors. If these impurities are not removed, they will affect the assembly precision of subsequent components, causing premature damage to precision parts such as bearings and crankshafts due to wear, and even leading to oil passage blockage. Furthermore, the housing requires surface treatments such as spraying or electroplating to improve corrosion resistance; therefore, cleaning is necessary to remove machining residues, improve coating adhesion, and meet cleanliness standards. On the other hand, cleaning can also detect hidden defects; a clean surface can more accurately expose casting porosity or cracks. Currently, most motorcycle engine housing cleaning is done by workers using high-pressure water guns, which is inefficient and poses certain safety hazards to workers. Utility Model Content

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 3This utility model provides an engine housing cleaning machine, including a machine base 100, a spraying mechanism, and a fixing mechanism. The spraying mechanism includes a first mounting plate 700 and a nozzle assembly 300. The first mounting plate 700 is mounted on the machine base 100, and the nozzle assembly 300 is disposed through the first mounting plate 700. Specifically, the nozzle assembly 300 extends from one side of the first mounting plate 700 to the other side. One end of the nozzle assembly 300 is connected to a high-pressure liquid source, and the other end of the nozzle assembly 300 can spray liquid outward from the other side of the first mounting plate 700. The fixing mechanism includes a first clamping assembly 400. The clamping assembly 400 includes a first driving member 410 and a first clamping block 420. The first clamping block 420 is disposed at the output end of the first driving member 410, and the first driving member 410 is mounted on the machine base 100. Specifically, the first driving member 410 is a double-acting cylinder, a double-acting hydraulic cylinder, or other device capable of driving left and right. Specifically, the first driving member 410 can drive the first clamping block 420 to move in the direction of the first driving member 410, push the engine housing to move towards the first mounting plate 700, and finally press the engine housing against the surface of the first mounting plate 700 to achieve clamping and fixing of the engine housing.

[0039] The nozzle assembly 300 sprays high-pressure cleaning fluid outwards, effectively removing residual metal shavings, cutting fluid, grease, rust inhibitors, and other contaminants from the engine housing surface. The first drive component 410 moves the first clamping block 420 towards the engine housing, pressing it against the first mounting plate 700 to secure it. The first clamping assembly 400 and the first mounting plate 700 work together to clamp and secure the engine housing between the first clamping block 420 and the first mounting plate 700, ensuring stability, reliability, and ease of operation. This eliminates the need for workers to use high-pressure water guns or secure the engine housing, resulting in high work efficiency and preventing worker injuries from high-pressure water gun impacts or collisions with the engine housing. After cleaning, the first drive component 410 moves the first clamping block 420 away from the first mounting plate 700, disengaging it and releasing the engine housing from its fixation, allowing for easy removal of the cleaned engine housing for the next one to be cleaned.

[0040] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The machine base 100 is equipped with a carrying section 110, and a first mounting plate 700 is vertically mounted above the carrying section 110. A first clamping assembly 400 is located at the top of the first mounting plate 700. Specifically, a nozzle assembly 300 is horizontally mounted on the vertical first mounting plate 700. The engine housing is placed between the first mounting plate 700 and the first clamping block 420 above the carrying section 110. The first clamping assembly 400 clamps the engine housing from right to left from the upper side, effectively fixing the engine housing and facilitating cleaning from the side of the engine housing by the nozzle assembly 300. Because the nozzle assembly 300 cleans the engine housing from bottom to top, the sprayed liquid speed does not decrease due to increased elevation, improving the cleaning effect.

[0041] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism also includes a second clamping assembly 500, located on one side of the lower part of the first mounting plate 700. The second clamping assembly 500 includes a second driving member 510 and a second clamping block 520. The second clamping block 520 is disposed at the output end of the second driving member 510, which is mounted on the machine base 100. Specifically, the second driving member 510 is a double-acting cylinder, a double-acting hydraulic cylinder, or other device capable of driving left and right. Specifically, the second driving member 510 can drive the second clamping block 520 to move towards the first driving member 410, pushing the engine housing towards the first mounting plate 700, and ultimately pressing the engine housing against the surface of the first mounting plate 700. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The second clamping assembly 500 pushes the lower part of the engine housing to the left to achieve clamping, and the first clamping assembly 400 pushes the upper part of the engine housing to the left to achieve clamping. The first clamping assembly 400 and the second clamping assembly 500 cooperate to further improve the reliability of clamping and fixing the engine housing.

[0042] Furthermore, referring to Figures 1 to 3The fixing mechanism also includes a third clamping assembly 600, which is disposed on the top of the first mounting plate 700 and located on one side of the first clamping assembly 400. The third clamping assembly 600 includes a connecting rod 610 and a third clamping block 620. One end of the connecting rod 610 is rotatably connected to the third clamping block 620, and the other end of the connecting rod 610 is fixedly connected to the top of the first mounting plate 700. Rotating the third clamping block 620 about the connecting rod 610 as an axis, the third clamping block 620 abuts against the surface of the engine housing, which can achieve pre-fixation of the engine housing, so that the first clamping assembly 400 and the second clamping assembly 500 can clamp the engine housing in subsequent operations. Moreover, the third clamping assembly 600 is disposed on the top of the first mounting plate 700 on one side of the first clamping assembly 400, and cooperates with the first clamping assembly 400 and the second clamping assembly 500 to achieve three-point fixation of the engine housing, further improving the reliability and stability of clamping and fixing the engine housing.

[0043] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The nozzle assembly 300 includes a first nozzle 310 and multiple second nozzles 320, with the multiple second nozzles 320 corresponding to the holes in the engine housing. The multiple second nozzles 320 can directly spray high-pressure liquid onto the corresponding holes in the engine housing, improving the cleaning effect on the holes in the engine housing.

[0044] Furthermore, referring to Figure 3 ( Figure 3 for Figure 2 (Right view) The first nozzle 310 is disposed among multiple second nozzles 320, and the first nozzle 310 is capable of spraying liquid in multiple directions. Specifically, the first nozzle 310 has multiple liquid outlets, and the liquid outlets are directed in different directions. The first nozzle 310 is used to clean the inner cavity of the engine housing, and can spray high-pressure cleaning liquid at multiple angles to achieve multi-directional cleaning of the inner cavity of the engine housing.

[0045] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 1 The spraying mechanism also includes a liquid storage tank 810, which is connected to the nozzle assembly 300 via a pipeline. Specifically, the liquid storage tank 810 is connected to a high-pressure liquid source, capable of receiving high-pressure liquid and storing and maintaining pressure within the tank. The liquid storage tank 810 supplies high-pressure cleaning liquid to the nozzle assembly 300 via a pipeline, reducing pressure fluctuations in the high-pressure liquid source and providing a continuous and stable supply of high-pressure cleaning liquid to the nozzle assembly 300.

[0046] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 1It also includes a machine room 200, a machine platform 100, and spraying and fixing mechanisms, all housed within the machine room 200. This reduces the amount of high-pressure liquid generated during the cleaning process that splashes to the outside, minimizing the impact on the surrounding environment.

[0047] Furthermore, referring to Figure 1 The machine room 200 includes a door 210 and a third drive unit 220, which drives the door 210 to move. Specifically, the third drive unit 220 is a double-acting cylinder, a double-acting hydraulic cylinder, or other device capable of upward and downward driving; specifically, the third drive unit 220 can drive the door 210 to move upward or downward, thereby opening and closing the machine room 200. During cleaning operations, the third drive unit 220 is used to drive the door 210 downward to close the machine room 200, further preventing high-pressure liquid generated during the cleaning process from splashing to the outside and improving the safety of the operators.

[0048] According to some embodiments of this application, refer to Figure 1 The system also includes a control box 900, which controls the operation of the first drive member 410 and the nozzle assembly 300. Specifically, the control box 900 is electrically connected to the control components of the first drive member 410. For example, when the first drive member 410 is a double-acting cylinder, the control box 900 is connected to the solenoid valve of the double-acting cylinder to control its leftward or rightward movement. Specifically, electric shut-off valves are respectively installed on the connecting pipes of the first nozzle 310, the second nozzle 320, and the liquid storage tank 810. The control box 900 is electrically connected to these electric shut-off valves to control the on / off state of the first nozzle 310, the second nozzle 320, and the liquid storage tank 810, thereby controlling whether the nozzle assembly 300 sprays liquid. The control box 900 improves the ease of operation of the first drive member 410 and the nozzle assembly 300.

[0049] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the control box 900 is electrically connected to the control components of the second drive member 510 and the third drive member 220 to control their on / off states.

[0050] It is understood that, in some other embodiments, reference is made to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The machine 100 is also equipped with a second mounting plate 710, and multiple third nozzles 230 are installed through the second mounting plate 710. The third nozzles 230 are connected to the liquid storage tank 810 through pipes. The third nozzles 230 are used to spray high-pressure cleaning liquid onto the outside of the cavity of the engine housing to clean the outer surface of the engine housing.

[0051] Preferably, an electric shut-off valve is also provided on the connecting pipe between the third nozzle 230 and the liquid storage tank 810, and the control box 900 is electrically connected to the electric shut-off valve corresponding to the third nozzle 230 to control its on / off state.

[0052] Understandably, the first mounting plate 700 and the second mounting plate 710 are detachably connected to the machine base 100, and multiple sets of the first mounting plate 700 and the second mounting plate 710 are provided for engine housings of different structures and sizes. The position and size of the first nozzle 310 and the second nozzle 320 on different first mounting plates 700 are matched to the different structures and sizes of engine housings; the position and size of the third nozzle 230 on different second mounting plates 710 are also different. When it is necessary to clean engine housings of different structures and sizes, it is only necessary to replace the corresponding first mounting plate 700 and the second mounting plate 710, and connect the liquid storage tank 810 to the first nozzle 310, the second nozzle 320, and the third nozzle 230, so as to adapt to the cleaning needs of more engine housings of different structures and sizes.

[0053] Working principle: The engine housing to be cleaned is placed above the loading section 110. The third clamping block 620 is rotated to abut against the engine housing, achieving pre-fixation of the engine housing. The first driving component 410 and the second driving component 510 are operated to drive the first clamping block 420 and the second clamping block 520 to move to the left and press against the engine housing, cooperating with the first mounting plate 700 to clamp the engine housing. The third driving component 220 is operated to close the chamber door 210 downwards. The connecting pipe between the liquid storage tank 810 and the first nozzle 310, the second nozzle 320, and the third nozzle 230 is operated to spray high-pressure liquid to clean the engine housing. After cleaning, the connecting pipe between the first nozzle 310, the second nozzle 320, the third nozzle 230 and the liquid storage tank 810 are closed in sequence, the chamber door 210 is opened, the first clamping component 400 and the second clamping component 500 are released, and finally, the worker rotates the third clamping block 620 to release all restrictions on the engine housing, allowing the engine housing to be removed.
