Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical cleaning equipment technology, specifically to a spring cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] During spring production, impurities such as oil and metal shavings often adhere to the spring surface. These impurities not only affect the appearance quality of the spring but may also affect its performance and lifespan. Existing spring cleaning devices typically place batches of springs of different specifications into a filter tank inside an ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning. During the cleaning process, the springs may become entangled, affecting the cleaning effect. Furthermore, after cleaning, the entangled springs need to be separated, increasing the probability of scratches or even deformation on the spring surface. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a spring cleaning device that can separate a batch of springs at intervals during cleaning. This facilitates the hanging and removal of springs while effectively preventing the springs from getting tangled together and reducing the probability of scratches or even deformation on the spring surface during separation due to tangling. This further improves the cleaning effect of the springs and has high ease of operation, flexibility of use, and applicability.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is:

[0005] An ultrasonic cleaner device includes a frame, a cleaning tank mounted on the frame, and a placement frame inside the cleaning tank that is driven to rotate by a drive component located at the bottom of the frame. The placement frame includes connecting rods rotatably connected to both sides of the cleaning tank, connecting plates at both ends of the connecting rods, and several sets of second connecting rods arranged in an array between the two sets of connecting plates. Several sets of hooks are spaced apart on the body of the second connecting rods located between the two sets of connecting plates, and a cover is detachably installed at the opening of the hook.

[0006] Preferably, the second connecting rod is detachably mounted on the connecting plate via a locking element that is rotatably provided at one end.

[0007] Preferably, one end of the second connecting rod used for the rotatable connection of the locking member is also fitted with a locking ring through a spline structure, and the locking member is rotatably positioned above the locking ring with a certain gap between the locking ring and the corresponding wall surface of the connecting plate.

[0008] Preferably, the mounting holes on the connecting plate for the second connecting rod to pass through are arranged in an array of several groups, and the diameter of the mounting holes is slightly larger than the diameter of the second connecting rod through which it passes.

[0009] Preferably, the connecting plate has several sets of through slots, and the positions of the several sets of receiving plates formed between adjacent through slots correspond to the positions of the mounting holes.

[0010] Preferably, the hook is provided with multiple sets of pin plates arranged in an array at its head end, which can be detachably installed on the second connecting rod, and the second connecting rod has several sets of pin holes for inserting the multiple sets of pin plates.

[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the pin plate is also provided with multiple sets of protruding rings at intervals, and the corresponding inner wall of the pin hole is provided with multiple sets of matching grooves for the protruding rings at intervals.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and effects:

[0013] This utility model relates to a spring cleaning device. Compared to traditional ultrasonic cleaners, the structure of the rack within the cleaning tank differs from the filter tank structure commonly used in traditional ultrasonic cleaners. Multiple springs can be hung at intervals on several hooks spaced apart on the second connecting rod. Combined with the array-like arrangement of the second connecting rod between two connecting plates, this allows for the spaced arrangement of a batch of springs on the rack. Driven by the driving component, the connecting rod, the two connecting plates, and the several sets of second connecting rods between the two connecting plates circulate within the cleaning tank. This effectively prevents entanglement during cleaning, further improving the cleaning effect. Furthermore, the springs hanging on the hooks are less prone to scratches or deformation during cleaning within the tank. The design, combined with the detachable connection between the cover and the second connecting rod, facilitates the hanging, removal, and position adjustment of the spring on the hook while maintaining connection stability, reducing the likelihood of detachment and ensuring the stability of the spring during hanging and subsequent cleaning. Furthermore, the diameter of the connecting plate, the spacing between the second connecting rods, and the spacing between adjacent second connecting rods can be customized according to the spring specifications. The spring's rotation around the cleaning fluid level in the cleaning tank during plate rotation allows operators to easily assess its cleaning status even when it is exposed in the cleaning fluid, further enhancing the ease of operation, flexibility, and applicability of this spring cleaning device.

Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and through embodiments. The following embodiments are explanations of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0019] See Figure 1-3 This embodiment relates to a spring cleaning device, including a frame 1, a cleaning tank 11 mounted on it, and a placement frame 2 inside the cleaning tank 11 that is driven to rotate by a driving component at the bottom of the frame 1, forming an ultrasonic cleaning machine body 100. The placement frame 2 includes connecting rods 21 rotatably connected to both sides of the cleaning tank 11, connecting plates 22 at both ends of the connecting rods 21, and several sets of second connecting rods 23 rotatably arranged in an array between the two sets of connecting plates 22. Several sets of hooks 3 are arranged at intervals on the body of the second connecting rods 23 located between the two sets of connecting plates 22, and a cover 4 is detachably installed at the opening of the hook 3.

[0020] Specifically in this embodiment, such as Figure 1 The overall structure of this spring cleaning device, as shown, corresponds to the ultrasonic cleaning machine body 100, which is a common structure for ultrasonic cleaning machines used for spring cleaning. During use, it can be connected to the inlet and outlet pipes 113, respectively, through the inlet and outlet holes located in the cleaning tank 11, to facilitate the addition and discharge of cleaning solution within the cleaning tank 11, according to usage requirements. Figure 2 and Figure 3The process involves sequentially hanging a batch of springs on the second connecting rod 23. Specifically, the cover 4 can be detachably connected by inserting and locking the connectors 41 at both ends into the slots 231 on both sides of the second connecting rod 23. When the cover 4 is detached from the second connecting rod 23, the hooks 3 on the second connecting rod 23 are open, allowing the springs to be sequentially hung on several sets of hooks 3 arranged at intervals on the second connecting rod 23. The spacing between the hooks 3 can be flexibly adjusted according to the specific specifications of the springs (it is not required that each hook 3 has a spring). After multiple sets of springs are hung on the second connecting rod 23, the cover 4 can be immediately locked and fixed onto the second connecting rod 23. At this time, the cover 4 can open and close the hooks. The opening is blocked to prevent the springs hanging on the hook 3 from detaching. The above operation is repeated until a batch of springs are sequentially hung on multiple sets of second connecting rods 23 at corresponding positions between the two sets of connecting plates 22. At the same time, the diameter of the connecting plate 22 and the maximum spacing between adjacent second connecting rods 23 and between second connecting rods 23 and connecting rod 21 are arranged according to the structure of the cleaning tank 11 and the spring length. This ensures that the springs hanging on adjacent second connecting rods 23 will not be blocked by the connecting rod 21 and adjacent second connecting rods 23 during the rotation of the connecting rod 21 and the two sets of connecting plates 22. Under the gravity of the multiple sets of springs hanging on it, the second connecting rod 23 can rotate synchronously at the corresponding angle on the two sets of connecting plates 22 as the connecting plates 22 rotate. In addition, combined with Figure 1 or Figure 2The diameter of the connecting plate 22 is set so that its highest point of rotation is above the cleaning tank 11. Therefore, when the second connecting rod 23 between the two sets of connecting plates 22 rotates to its highest point, the multiple springs hanging on it, combined with the amount of cleaning liquid added to the cleaning tank 11, can be above the liquid surface or partially submerged in the cleaning liquid. This, in conjunction with the drive component (which can be a conventional synchronous belt drive via a drive motor and synchronous pulley mounted on the frame 1 below the cleaning tank 11 to drive the connecting rod 21 to rotate), drives the connecting rod 21 and its... The two sets of connecting plates 22 drive several sets of second connecting rods 23 and their batch of springs to perform a cyclical cleaning process in the cleaning tank 11. Finally, after cleaning, the drive component can be controlled to rotate the connecting plates 22 so that the cover 4 of the second connecting rod 23 at the highest point can be disassembled and separated. The springs are then removed from the hooks 3 one after another, and the cover 4 is then installed back on the second connecting rod 23. This process allows for the removal of the batch of springs that have been cleaned from the rack 2, or for the replacement and hanging of another batch of springs, and the repeat of the above cleaning process. Compared to traditional ultrasonic cleaners, this spring cleaning device features a unique structure for the rack 2 within the cleaning tank 11. Unlike the filter tank structure commonly used in traditional ultrasonic cleaners, multiple springs can be hung at intervals on several hooks 3 spaced apart on the second connecting rod 23. Combined with the array-like arrangement of the second connecting rods 23 between the two connecting plates 22, this allows for the spaced arrangement of a batch of springs on the rack 2. Driven by the driving component, the connecting rod 21, the two connecting plates 22, and the several sets of second connecting rods 23 between the two connecting plates 22 circulate within the cleaning tank 11. This effectively prevents entanglement during cleaning, further improving the cleaning effect. Furthermore, the springs hanging on the hooks 3 are less prone to scratches or deformation during cleaning within the cleaning tank 11. Furthermore, the detachable connection between the cover 4 and the second connecting rod 23 facilitates the hanging, removal, and position adjustment of the spring on the hook 3 while maintaining a certain degree of connection stability, reducing the possibility of detachment and ensuring the stability of the spring on the hook 3 during the subsequent cleaning process. In addition, the diameter of the connecting plate 22, the distance between the second connecting rod 23 and the connecting rod 21, and the distance between adjacent second connecting rods 23 can be configured according to the specifications of the spring. Combined with the cleaning method in which the spring rotates around the surface of the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 11 during the rotation of the connecting plate 22, the operator can easily judge the cleaning status of the spring when it is exposed in the cleaning liquid, further improving the ease of operation, flexibility, and applicability of this spring cleaning device.

[0021] The second connecting rod 23 is detachably mounted on the connecting plate 22 via a locking element 5 rotatably mounted at one end. Specifically, from... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As can be seen, the locking component 5 adopts a bolt connection structure and is rotatably mounted on one end of the second connecting rod 23 through a threaded structure, realizing the detachable connection process of the second connecting rod 23 to the connecting plate 22, which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the second connecting rod 23. At the same time, combined with the setting of the thread length on the second connecting rod 23, the locking component 5 can be tightened on the second connecting rod 23 and maintain an appropriate distance from the connecting plate 22, so as to ensure the normal rotation process of the second connecting rod 23 between the two sets of connecting plates 22.

[0022] The second connecting rod 23, used for the rotatable connection of the locking member 5, has a locking ring 6 sleeved at one end via a spline structure 7. The locking member 5 is rotatably positioned above the locking ring 6, and a certain gap is left between the locking ring 6 and the corresponding wall surface of the connecting plate 22. The locking ring 6 can be slidably fitted into the keyway 232 at the corresponding end of the second connecting rod 23 via a protrusion 61 on its inner wall. Combined with the locking member 5, this allows for position locking. The depth of the keyway 232 is designed to allow the second connecting rod 23 to be installed on the connecting plate 22, with reference to... Figure 2 The locking element 5 shown is spaced a certain distance from the corresponding wall surface of the connecting plate 22. This not only does not affect the stability of the second connecting rod 23 rotating on the connecting plate 22, but also further improves the ease of installation of the second connecting rod 23 on the connecting plate 22. It should be noted that the length of the second connecting rod 23 is set such that the distance between the locking element 5 and the corresponding wall surface of the connecting plate 22 should not be too large in order to reduce the swaying amplitude of the second connecting rod 23 during rotation between the two sets of connecting plates 22.

[0023] The mounting holes 220 on the connecting plate 22 for the second connecting rod 23 to pass through are arranged in an array of several groups, and the diameter of the mounting holes 220 is slightly larger than the diameter of the rod body of the second connecting rod 23 through which it passes. Specifically, from Figure 1As can be seen, the second connecting rod 23 can be installed and disassembled through the mounting hole 220 on the connecting plate 22. Simultaneously, for springs of different lengths in a batch, provided the spring length does not exceed the maximum distance between the second connecting rod 23 and the connecting rod 21, the second connecting rod 23 can be installed and disassembled through the mounting holes 220 at different positions on the connecting plate 22, resulting in different distances between adjacent second connecting rods 23. This meets different cleaning needs and improves the structural flexibility and applicability of the placement rack 2. Furthermore, setting the diameter of the mounting hole 220 slightly larger than the diameter of the second connecting rod 23 further improves the stability of the second connecting rod 23 rotating through the mounting hole 220 on the connecting plate 22. It should be noted that the diameter of the mounting hole 220 should not be too large to reduce the amount of movement of the second connecting rod 23 within the mounting hole 220 during rotation and the degree of wear on the corresponding wall surface.

[0024] The connecting plate 22 has several sets of through grooves 221, and the positions of the several sets of receiving plates 222 formed between adjacent through grooves 221 correspond to the positions of the mounting holes 220. The opening of several sets of through grooves 221 on the connecting plate 22, combined with the rotation process of the connecting plate 22, can further improve the flow effect and fluidity of the cleaning fluid during the cleaning process, and improve the cleaning effect on the spring. At the same time, the structural setting of the several sets of receiving plates 222 formed between adjacent through grooves 221 corresponding to the positions of the mounting holes 220 can further improve the support effect on the second connecting rod 23 and the overall stability of the connecting plate 22.

[0025] See Figure 3 The hook 3 is detachably mounted on the second connecting rod 23 by having multiple sets of pin plates 31 arranged in an array around its head end. Several sets of pin holes 233 on the second connecting rod 23 are spaced apart. The hook 3 can be detachably connected to the second connecting rod 23 by inserting the multiple sets of pin plates 31 arranged in an array around its head end into the pin holes 233 on the second connecting rod 23. This allows for the hook 3 to be detachably connected to the second connecting rod 23. The corresponding side of the cover 4 provides an opening for the hook 3. The stop at one end corresponding to the end face can also ensure the installation stability of the hook 3 on the second connecting rod 23, facilitate the disassembly and replacement of the hook 3, improve the structural detachability and disassembly flexibility of the second connecting rod 23, ensure the use effect and stability of the hook 3, and the hook 3 can be disassembled and its position adjusted according to the several sets of spaced pin holes 233 on the second connecting rod 23, so as to flexibly adjust the spacing between adjacent hooks 3 according to the specifications of the spring, further improving the structural flexibility and applicability of this type of placement rack 2.

[0026] The outer wall of the pin plate 31 is also provided with a plurality of sets of protruding rings 311 at intervals, and the corresponding inner wall of the pin hole 233 is provided with a plurality of sets of slots 234 for fitting the protruding rings 311 at intervals. Specifically, from Figure 3 As can be seen, when the hook 3 is inserted into the pin hole 233 on the second connecting rod 23 through the pin plate 31, it can also be engaged by multiple sets of protruding rings 311 arranged at intervals on the outer wall of the pin plate 31 and multiple sets of matching grooves 234 opened at intervals on the corresponding inner wall of the pin hole 233. This can further improve the connection effect between the pin plate 31 and the pin hole 233, improve the connection stability of the hook 3 installed on the second connecting rod 23, and improve the stability of the spring hanging on the hook 3 and the subsequent cleaning process.

[0027] The above description in this specification is merely illustrative of the present invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains may make various modifications or additions to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods to replace them, as long as they do not depart from the content of this specification or exceed the scope defined in the claims, all of which shall fall within the protection scope of this invention.
