Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial equipment technology, and in particular to a dust cleaning device for a metal marking machine. Background Technology
[0002] Metal marking machines are widely used in industrial fields, primarily for applying permanent markings to the surface of metal workpieces. Their working principle typically involves using methods such as lasers, electrochemical processes, or mechanical impact to create clear and durable markings on the metal surface, such as serial numbers, QR codes, and trademarks. These markings are crucial for product traceability, quality control, and brand identification. With the advancement of industrial automation, the application scope of metal marking machines continues to expand, ranging from automotive parts to electronic products, covering almost all metal products requiring marking.
[0003] During metal marking, metal shavings and dust are inevitably generated due to mechanical impact or laser ablation. These shavings usually adhere to the workpiece surface or are scattered within the marking machine's working area. Currently, most metal marking machines are not equipped with automatic cleaning devices, requiring operators to manually remove these shavings. Common cleaning methods include using compressed air to blow, brush cleaning, or vacuuming. However, these methods are not only inefficient but also have limitations, especially when dealing with fine dust or precision workpieces.
[0004] The main drawbacks of existing equipment lie in the manual cleaning process. Firstly, manual cleaning is inefficient, increasing production cycles and labor costs. Secondly, manual operation makes it difficult to completely remove all debris, potentially causing problems during subsequent processing or use. More seriously, metal debris can scratch the workpiece surface during cleaning, affecting the product's appearance and precision. Especially when processing high-gloss or precision parts, such scratches can lead to product scrapping and economic losses. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the drawbacks of low efficiency and easy scratching, this utility model provides a dust cleaning device for metal marking machines, aiming to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings.
[0006] A dust cleaning device for a metal marking machine includes a marking machine, a water tank, and a water pipe. The marking machine is mounted on the water tank. A clamping assembly for holding the product to be marked is installed at the front end of the marking machine. A spray frame is connected to the rear end of the clamping assembly. The spray frame is equipped with a plurality of spray nozzles. One end of the water pipe is connected to the spray frame, and the other end extends into the water tank and is connected to a water pump. A filter assembly for filtering debris is installed inside the water tank.
[0007] To further explain, the filter assembly includes a frame, which is connected to the top of the water tank. A filter screen plate is slidably connected to the middle of the frame. A handle is connected to the front end of the filter screen plate, and the filter screen plate can pass through the water tank. A motor is installed at the left end of the frame. A lead screw is rotatably connected to the rear end of the frame. A guide rod is connected to the front end of the frame. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the lead screw. One end of the brush plate is threaded to the lead screw, and the other end is slidably connected to the guide rod.
[0008] To further explain, the bottom of the water tank is provided with two inclined plates, and the water pump is located within the angle formed by the two inclined plates.
[0009] To further explain, the bottom of the water tank is equipped with several adjustable feet.
[0010] To further explain, the top of the water tank is connected to a cover plate, which is located on the left and right sides of the marking machine.
[0011] To further explain, the base plate of the clamping assembly has several water outlet holes.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. By coordinating the spray frame, nozzles, and water pump, the water flow forms a multi-angle scouring action, effectively solving the problem of low efficiency in manual cleaning, thereby realizing automated cleaning function and ultimately achieving the goal of improving cleaning efficiency and reducing manual intervention.
[0013] 2. Through the frame, filter screen, and brush plate, debris is filtered and automatically collected, effectively solving the problem of debris scratching the product, thus achieving efficient debris filtration and centralized cleaning, and ultimately protecting the surface quality of the product.

Detailed Implementation
[0019] The present invention will now be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which presently preferred embodiments of the invention are shown. However, the present invention can be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided for thoroughness and completeness, and to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.
[0020] Example: A dust cleaning device for a metal marking machine, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a marking machine 1, a clamping assembly 2, a water tank 3, a spray frame 4, a water pipe 5, a nozzle 6, a water pump 7, and a filter assembly. The marking machine 1 is mounted on the water tank 3. The front end of the marking machine 1 is equipped with a clamping assembly 2 for holding the product to be marked. The rear end of the clamping assembly 2 is connected to the spray frame 4. The spray frame 4 is equipped with several nozzles 6, and the nozzles 6 are oriented differently. One end of the water pipe 5 is connected to the spray frame 4, and the other end extends into the water tank 3 and is connected to the water pump 7. The water tank 3 is equipped with a filter assembly for filtering debris.
[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the filter assembly includes a frame 8, a filter plate 9, a handle 10, a guide rod 11, a lead screw 12, a motor 13, and a brush plate 14. The frame 8 is connected to the top of the water tank 3. The filter plate 9 is slidably connected to the middle of the frame 8. The handle 10 is connected to the front end of the filter plate 9, and the filter plate 9 can pass through the water tank 3. The motor 13 is installed at the left end of the frame 8. The lead screw 12 is rotatably connected to the rear end of the frame 8. The guide rod 11 is connected to the front end of the frame 8. The output shaft of the motor 13 is connected to the lead screw 12. One end of the brush plate 14 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 12, and the other end is slidably connected to the guide rod 11.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, it also includes inclined plates 15. Two inclined plates 15 are provided at the bottom of the water tank 3. The water pump 7 is located within the angle formed by the two inclined plates 15. After the water flow carrying debris flows back to the water tank 3, it naturally slides down the surface of the inclined plates 15 and converges at the location of the water pump 7. The design of the inclined plates 15 not only facilitates the concentration of water flow, but also reduces the deposition of debris at the bottom of the water tank 3, ensuring that the water pump 7 can efficiently draw water and maintain the stable operation of the sprinkler system.
[0023] like Figure 1As shown, it also includes adjustable feet 16. The bottom of the water tank 3 is equipped with four adjustable feet 16, which can adjust the distance between the water tank 3 and the ground. They can also be adjusted individually to adapt to uneven ground. By rotating the adjustable feet 16, the operator can change the level of the water tank 3 to ensure that the marking machine 1 remains stable during operation and avoid a decrease in marking accuracy or equipment vibration caused by uneven ground.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a cover plate 17. The top of the water tank 3 is connected to the cover plate 17. The cover plate 17 is located on the left and right sides of the marking machine 1. There is a gap between the clamping component 2 and the cover plate 17. Its main function is to ensure that the water can flow back to the water tank 3 smoothly, prevent water and debris from splashing, and facilitate the staff to observe the marking process and the water circulation status.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the base plate of the clamping assembly 2 has several water outlet holes 18. Water flows back to the water tank 3 through the water outlet holes 18, forming a closed loop. The distribution and size design of the water outlet holes 18 ensure that the water can be discharged quickly, avoiding accumulation in the clamping assembly 2, while reducing debris residue and ensuring the cleanliness of the marking area.
[0026] The operator secures the product to be marked onto the clamping assembly 2 and starts the marking machine 1, water pump 7, and motor 13. The marking machine 1 marks the product surface according to the preset pattern or text. Simultaneously, the water pump 7 draws water from the water tank 3, delivers it through the water pipe 5 to the spray frame 4, and finally sprays it out from the nozzle 6. The multi-angle design of the nozzle 6 ensures that the water flow covers different positions, effectively rinsing away the debris generated during the marking process. The rinsed water flow carries the debris back to the water tank 3 through the gap between the clamping assembly 2 and the cover plate 17, and through the water outlet 18 on the bottom plate of the clamping assembly 2. When the water flows through the filter screen 9, the debris is filtered and trapped, while the water flow converges along the inclined plate 15 to the water pump 7, achieving recycling. The motor 13 in the filter assembly drives the lead screw 12 to rotate, causing the brush plate 14 to move along the guide rod 11, gathering the debris on the filter screen 9 to both sides, ensuring the permeability of the filter screen 9 and maintaining the efficient passage of water. During the marking process, after the motor 13 starts, it drives the lead screw 12 to rotate. The lead screw 12 then drives the brush plate 14, which is threaded to it, to slide along the guide rod 11. The movement of the brush plate 14 pushes the debris trapped on the filter screen plate 9 to both sides, preventing debris accumulation from affecting the water flow efficiency. After the marking work has continued for a period of time, the operator slides the filter screen plate 9 out of the water tank 3 along the frame 8 using the handle 10 to clean the debris accumulated on both sides of the filter screen plate 9. After cleaning, the filter screen plate 9 is pushed back into the frame 8 to ensure the continuous operation of the filtration assembly. After marking is completed, turn off the marking machine 1, water pump 7 and motor 13, and remove the marked product from the clamping assembly 2.
