Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engine housing processing technology, specifically to a washing device for engine housing. Background Technology

[0002] An engine is a machine that converts other forms of energy into mechanical energy. These include internal combustion engines (reciprocating piston engines), external combustion engines (Stirling engines, steam engines, etc.), jet engines, and electric motors. As is well known, the exterior of an engine consists of an engine housing and a cylinder head. During the machining of the engine housing, it is necessary to perform precision machining and drilling on the corresponding locations. After drilling, a lot of oil stains will remain on the surface, so the engine housing needs to be cleaned to remove dirt or burrs from the metal surface to facilitate subsequent shipping, packaging, and use.

[0003] During the manufacturing process of engine housings, most are transported using structures such as conveyor rollers. During transport, the housings pass through the cleaning area of ​​the equipment in the same position. However, since the surfaces of the housings are covered with oil, dust, and impurities, the equipment can only clean one side of the housing when it passes through the cleaning area in the same position, resulting in incomplete cleaning.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a flushing device for engine casings to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example

[0025] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a flushing device for an engine casing, including a frame 1. A cleaning tank 2, an ultrasonic generator 3, and a booster pump 4 are installed in the frame 1. The outlet end of the booster pump 4 is connected to a high-pressure spray pipe 5. An ultrasonic transducer 6 is installed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 2, and the ultrasonic transducer 6 is electrically connected to the ultrasonic generator 3. A lifting cylinder 7 is installed on the top of the frame 1, and a fixing plate 8 is connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder 7. A first rotary cylinder 9 is installed on the fixing plate 8, and a connecting plate 10 is installed on the turntable of the first rotary cylinder 9. The machine is equipped with a second rotary cylinder 11, and a workpiece carrier 12 is mounted on the turntable of the second rotary cylinder 11. The product is placed on the workpiece carrier 12 and fixed. The machine cover 13 is then covered, and the product is rinsed through the high-pressure spray pipe 5. During the process, the position of the product is rotated and swung with the cooperation of the first rotary cylinder 9 and the second rotary cylinder 11 to increase the rinsing range, avoid cleaning dead corners, and improve the cleaning effect. At the same time, according to the surface condition of the product being cleaned, ultrasonic cleaning and spray cleaning are organically combined to increase the washing effect on the product. The top of the machine frame 1 is hinged to the machine cover 13.

[0026] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, an industrial control panel 14 is embedded on the front side of the frame 1. The ultrasonic generator 3 and the booster pump 4 are both electrically connected to the industrial control panel 14. The industrial control panel 14 is a hardware device for controlling and monitoring industrial systems. It typically includes components such as switches, relays, and PLCs (programmable logic controllers) to realize real-time monitoring of equipment operating status and the issuance of control commands. The high-frequency oscillation signal emitted by the ultrasonic generator 3 is converted into high-frequency mechanical oscillation by a transducer and propagated into the cleaning solvent. When the ultrasonic waves propagate in the liquid, they generate alternating high-pressure and low-pressure zones. Vacuum bubbles (cavitation nuclei) are formed in the low-pressure zone. The bubbles collapse instantaneously in the high-pressure zone, releasing shock waves that peel off dirt from the workpiece surface. This process is accompanied by physical effects such as microjets and acoustic flow, which can penetrate into complex structures or blind holes to achieve efficient cleaning. The booster pump 4 is a type of pump that converts low-pressure fluid into high-pressure output through the principle of piston area difference.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, a solenoid valve module 15 is installed in the frame 1, and the solenoid valve module 15 is electrically connected to the industrial control panel 14. The lifting cylinder 7, the first rotary cylinder 9, and the second rotary cylinder 11 are respectively connected to the solenoid valve module 15 through hoses. The solenoid valve module 15 is an automated basic component used to control fluids. It is an actuator that changes the gas flow direction by switching the valve core position to control the cylinder movement direction.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the inlet end of the booster pump 4 is connected to the cleaning tank 2 through a pipe, and a water inlet filter 16 is installed at the top of the pipe. The water inlet filter 16 is used to filter out particulate impurities in the cleaning solvent, such as mud, rust, suspended matter, etc.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the outlet end of the booster pump 4 is connected to a regulating valve 17, and is connected to the high-pressure spray pipe 5 through the regulating valve 17. The main function of the regulating valve 17 is to control the flow rate of the medium in the pipeline by changing the valve opening, thereby realizing the adjustment of process parameters.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the high-pressure spray pipe 5 extends outward from the top of the frame 1 and is located on one side of the workpiece carrier 12. The high-pressure spray pipe 5 is a device that disperses and homogenizes liquid or gas through nozzles or other structures by means of high-speed spraying, dispersion, atomization, etc., when the liquid or gas flows in the pipe, thereby achieving certain mixing, cooling, washing and other effects.

[0031] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the workpiece carrier 12 is located inside the machine cover 13, and a transparent window 18 is embedded in the front side of the machine cover 13. The workpiece carrier 12 mainly supports and fixes the workpiece in the production process, ensuring the stability and safety of the product in each stage of the production process. The transparent window 18 is mainly used to observe the situation inside the machine cover 13. Through it, the operator can understand the status of the workpiece in the cleaning process in real time.

[0032] During use, the product is placed on the workpiece carrier 12 and fixed, and the machine cover 13 is placed on top. The product is then rinsed through the high-pressure spray pipe 5. During the process, with the cooperation of the first rotary cylinder 9 and the second rotary cylinder 11 (the first rotary cylinder 9 rotates radially back and forth at a certain angle, and the second rotary cylinder 11 rotates circumferentially), the position of the product is rotated and swung to increase the rinsing range, avoid cleaning dead corners, and improve the cleaning effect. At the same time, according to the surface condition of the product being cleaned, ultrasonic cleaning and spray cleaning are organically combined (before and after spray cleaning, the workpiece carrier 12 is lowered by the lifting cylinder 7 to be immersed in the cleaning tank 2 for ultrasonic cleaning), thereby increasing the washing effect on the product.

[0033] In summary, the product is placed on the workpiece carrier 12 and fixed, and the machine cover 13 is placed on top. The product is then rinsed through the high-pressure spray pipe 5. During the process, the product position is rotated and swung with the cooperation of the first rotary cylinder 9 and the second rotary cylinder 11 to increase the rinsing range, avoid cleaning dead corners, and improve the cleaning effect. At the same time, ultrasonic cleaning and spray cleaning are organically combined according to the surface condition of the product being cleaned, thereby increasing the washing effect on the product.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
