Attached Figure Description
[0014] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0015] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides an automatic cleaning device for the output of a centerless grinder, including a centerless grinder 1. The output port 2 of the centerless grinder 1 is connected to the inlet end of an output filter 3. The inlet end of the output filter 3 is provided with a spray head 4 for spraying and cleaning the workpieces coming out of the output port 2 of the centerless grinder 1. The spray head 4 is connected to a cleaning fluid supply system through a pipeline. A first cleaning fluid collection tank 5 is provided below the inlet end of the output filter 3. A funnel-shaped collection trough 6 is closely provided next to the first cleaning fluid collection tank 5. The outlet end of the output filter 3 extends into the upper opening of the funnel-shaped collection trough 6. The lower end of the funnel-shaped collection trough 6 is the outlet and is placed above the inlet end of a conveyor belt 7. The conveyor belt 7 is a mesh belt. Baffles 8 are provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 7. A second cleaning fluid collection tank 9 is provided below the conveyor belt 7.
[0017] In use, the bearing rings undergo end face processing on a centerless grinder 1. After processing, they exit from the discharge port 2 of the centerless grinder 1. Then, a spray head 4 sprays cleaning fluid onto the bearing rings, washing away the grinding mud. The bearing rings then roll along the discharge filter 3 into the funnel-shaped collection trough 6, while the cleaning fluid falls through the gaps in the discharge filter 3 into the first cleaning fluid collection tank 5 for collection. The bearing rings then enter the conveyor belt 7 from the funnel-shaped collection trough 6 and are conveyed forward by the conveyor belt 7. Since the conveyor belt 7 is a mesh belt, excess cleaning fluid on the bearing rings will fall through the gaps in the conveyor belt 7 into the second cleaning fluid collection tank 9 for collection. When the bearing rings reach the outlet end of the conveyor belt 7, there is very little cleaning fluid left on them. This invention features a spray head 4 at the discharge port 2 of the centerless grinder 1, which allows for immediate spray cleaning of the ground bearing rings, reducing grinding sludge buildup, ensuring thorough cleaning, simplifying cleaning, reducing handling, saving time and effort, and reducing costs. The cleaning fluid is collected in a first collection tank 5 and a second collection tank 9 for recycling and reuse, preventing the cleaning fluid from soiling the work surface. Baffles 8 on both sides of the conveyor belt 7 prevent the bearing rings from slipping off the conveyor belt 7.
[0018] Preferably, the discharge filter 3 is semi-circular, and is made of several thin metal strips welded into a semi-circle. Gaps are formed between adjacent thin metal strips, allowing cleaning fluid to pass through, but not the bearing rings. The inlet end of the discharge filter 3 abuts against the discharge port 2 of the centerless grinder 1, which can effectively hold the bearing rings and allow for timely cleaning. The discharge filter 3 is hung on the centerless grinder 1 by a connecting strap, which can be made of wire or rope. A screw is provided on the centerless grinder 1, and the filter can be hung on the screw by the connecting strap. The structure is simple.
[0019] Preferably, the inlet end of the discharge filter screen 3 is higher than the outlet end, which facilitates the automatic rolling off of the bearing rings.
[0020] Preferably, the outer side of the discharge filter screen 3 is provided with a baffle plate 10 facing the spray head 4 to prevent the cleaning liquid from splashing.
[0021] Preferably, the conveyor belt 7 is provided with an inclined unloading channel 11 at the outlet end, and a collection box is provided below the end of the unloading channel 11. After the bearing rings come out of the conveyor belt 7, they enter the collection box through the unloading channel 11 for collection.
[0022] Preferably, the side wall of the funnel-shaped collecting trough 6 is provided with an elastic pad, which buffers the bearing rings as they roll from the discharge filter screen 3 into the funnel-shaped collecting trough 6, thus preventing damage to the bearing rings.
[0023] Preferably, the bottom of the funnel-shaped material collection trough 6 is provided with a drop plate 12 that connects the funnel-shaped material collection trough 6 and the conveyor belt 7. The drop plate 12 has several holes and acts as a buffer to prevent the bearing rings from falling directly from the funnel-shaped material collection trough 6 onto the conveyor belt 7, thus avoiding damage to the bearing rings.
[0024] Preferably, both the first cleaning fluid collection tank 5 and the second cleaning fluid collection tank 9 are connected to a cleaning fluid recovery tank via pipelines. The cleaning fluid recovery tank is connected to the cleaning fluid supply system via pipelines. The cleaning fluid recovery tank can perform sedimentation and filtration on the cleaning fluid, thereby providing the cleaning fluid supply system with cleaning fluid that meets the cleaning standards, achieving the purpose of recycling and reducing production costs.
[0025] Although the embodiments of this utility model have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, this utility model is not limited to the specific details and the illustrations shown and described herein.
