Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bearing manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to a bearing ring cleaning device for bearing production lines. Background Technology

[0002] As a key component in mechanical equipment, the quality of bearings directly affects the overall performance and lifespan of the equipment. During the final assembly of bearings, it is necessary to clean the two rings, namely the outer and inner rings. This is because the presence of dust or inclusions on the working surfaces of the bearing will directly affect the assembly speed and the flexibility and service life of the assembled bearing.

[0003] Current technologies typically use a cleaning basket method to clean bearing raceways. This involves placing several bearing raceways in the basket, which is then driven to rotate by a mechanism, while simultaneously immersion or spraying is used to clean the raceways. However, in bearing production lines, this method requires additional gripping equipment to remove the raceways from the conveyor and transfer them to the cleaning basket, which is detrimental to improving continuous production efficiency. Furthermore, because a large number of bearing raceways are loaded into the cleaning basket at once, they tend to accumulate haphazardly in the cleaning equipment, making thorough cleaning difficult, especially on the raceways, where impurities and inclusions often remain, which are hard to remove completely.

[0004] Chinese utility model application CN202321034270.5 discloses a bearing ring cleaning machine, including a movable support mechanism and a cleaning mechanism mounted on the movable support mechanism for cleaning the inner and outer rings of the moving bearing rings. The cleaning mechanism includes a lifting assembly, on which a cleaning component for cleaning the inner and outer bearing rings is mounted. The lifting assembly includes a double-helix screw and a guide post vertically mounted on the movable support mechanism. This utility model moves the cleaning fluid in the connecting pipe up and down through a spray nozzle, rotating and cleaning the inner and outer diameters of the bearing rings, thus improving the efficiency and quality of cleaning the inner and outer diameters of the bearing rings. Although this utility model enables cleaning of bearing rings on the production line, the effect of using only spray cleaning is limited, resulting in residual contaminants on the bearing rings, which is detrimental to improving the overall service life of the assembled bearing.

The spray hood is provided with spray heads at positions corresponding to the guide groove. The spray hood is provided with a clamping component and a telescopic rod for driving the clamping component to rise and fall at positions corresponding to the guide groove. One end of the clamping component extends into the guide groove, and the other end is rotatably mounted on the telescopic end of the telescopic rod.

[0007] Furthermore, the sidewall of the guide groove is provided with several water-permeable holes, each of which is connected to the guide groove at one end and to the shielding ring at the other end.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the guide groove is provided with an inclined surface for guiding the bearing rings to roll toward the material inlet.

[0009] Furthermore, the inclined surface is provided with an arc-shaped groove that can mate with the bearing ring.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the clamping member that extends into the guide groove is provided with an arc-shaped surface that can mate with the bearing ring.

[0012] Furthermore, the base is provided with drainage grooves at positions corresponding to the annular slot, and the drainage grooves are connected to the annular slot.

[0013] Furthermore, a sealing ring is provided at the end of the spray hood facing the base.

[0014] Furthermore, the device also includes a feed trough and a discharge trough, which are respectively provided for two material outlets.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the bearing ring cleaning device for bearing production lines described in this utility model has the following advantages: This utility model discloses a bearing ring cleaning device for a bearing production line. It can be used for cleaning bearing rings in a bearing production line, offering advantages such as high cleaning efficiency and excellent cleaning effect.

[0021] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] A bearing ring cleaning device for a bearing production line, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the system includes a base 1, a rotating seat 17, a shielding ring 13, and a spray hood 2. The rotating seat 17 is rotatably mounted on the base 1. The base 1 has a drive assembly 3 for driving the rotating seat 17 to rotate. The rotating seat 17 has a guide groove 9 for accommodating bearing rings. The shielding ring 13 is disposed on the base 1 and is sleeved outside the rotating seat 17. The shielding ring 13 has two material inlets 11 spaced apart circumferentially, which can communicate with the guide groove 9. The spray hood 2 is sleeved outside the shielding ring 13. The spray hood 2 has spray heads 7 at positions corresponding to the guide groove 9. The spray hood 2 also has a clamping member 15 and a telescopic rod 8 for driving the clamping member 15 to rise and fall at positions corresponding to the guide groove 9. One end of the clamping member 15 extends into the guide groove 9, and the other end is rotatably mounted on the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 8. The shielding ring 13 is fixed to the base 1.

[0023] In practical applications, this cleaning device can be used with the feed trough 6 and the discharge trough 5. The feed trough 6 and the discharge trough 5 are respectively set with two material ports 11, so that this device can be connected to the conveying equipment in the production line. For example, the drive component 3 can be a conventional driver such as a drive motor. The rotating seat 17 can be rotatably mounted on the base 1 via a rotating shaft, and the rotating shaft is connected to the output end of the drive motor via a coupling, so that the drive component 3 can drive the rotating seat 17 to rotate. Those skilled in the art can also choose other installation and driving methods of the rotating seat according to actual needs, which will not be described in detail here.

[0024] Optionally, the spray hood 2 can be mounted and fixed on an external lifting rod to drive the spray hood 2 to rise and fall, allowing the spray hood 2 to move closer to or further away from the shielding ring 13. When the spray hood 2 moves away from the shielding ring 13, the blockage of the material inlet 11 can be released, allowing the cleaning fluid and the ring to pass through the material inlet 11. Conversely, when the spray hood 2 moves closer to the shielding ring 13, the material inlet 11 of the shielding ring 13 can be blocked to prevent the cleaning fluid and the ring from passing through. The spray head 7 and the telescopic rod 8 are both mounted and fixed on the spray hood 2. The spray head 7 can be connected to the liquid supply equipment via an external hose to achieve continuous liquid supply to the spray head 7. It should be noted that the external hose needs to have a length allowance to facilitate the movement of the spray head 7 with the spray hood 2. The fixed end of the telescopic rod 8 can be fixed to the spray hood 2 by screws. The spray hood 2 is provided with a through hole to facilitate the extension of the telescopic end of the telescopic rod 8. The end of the telescopic end that extends into the spray hood 2 can be rotated and installed with the clamping component 15 by conventional means such as a rotating shaft. Those skilled in the art can also choose other methods to install the clamping component 15 according to actual needs to achieve a rotatable connection between the clamping component 15 and the extension end of the telescopic rod 8. This will not be elaborated here.

[0025] Preferably, the side wall of the guide groove 9 is provided with a plurality of water-permeable holes 10, each water-permeable hole 10 having one end connected to the guide groove 9 and the other end connected to the shielding ring 13. By providing water-permeable holes 10 on the side wall of the guide groove 9, it is convenient for the cleaning fluid in the guide groove 9 to be exchanged with the cleaning fluid in the shielding ring 13. During the rotation of the guide groove 9 driven by the rotating seat 17, the cleaning fluid in the shielding ring 13 can also enter the guide groove 9 through the water-permeable holes 10 and clean the side and inside of the ring, which helps to ensure the cleaning effect of the ring.

[0026] Preferably, the bottom surface of the guide groove 9 is provided with an inclined section 18 for guiding the bearing rings to roll toward the material inlet 11. By providing the inclined section 18 on the bottom surface of the guide groove 9, the bearing rings can roll along the inclined section 18 under their own weight. When used in conjunction with the feed chute 6 and the discharge chute 5, the feed chute 6 is set at the upward end of the inclined section 18, and the discharge chute 5 is set at the downward end of the inclined section 18. This achieves automatic loading and unloading of the bearing rings, which helps to reduce the structural complexity of the device.

[0027] In practical applications, the inclined surface 18 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 19 that can mate with the bearing ring, and the end of the clamping member 15 that extends into the guide groove 9 is provided with an arc-shaped surface 16 that can mate with the bearing ring. By providing an arc-shaped groove 19 on the inclined surface 18, the stability of the ring within the guide groove 9 is improved, especially its stability after being limited by the clamping member 15. Similarly, by providing an arc-shaped surface 16 on the clamping member 15, the limiting effect of the clamping member 15 on the ring can also be improved, preventing the ring from being damaged by impact.

[0028] Preferably, the base 1 is provided with an annular slot 12 that can cooperate with the spray hood 2. The cooperation between the annular slot 12 and the bottom of the spray hood 2 helps to improve the sealing effect between the spray hood 2 and the base 1, ensuring that the cleaning fluid can accumulate in the shielding ring 13 and the spray hood 2 more quickly, so that the rotating seat 17 can drive the guide groove 9 to rotate and efficiently soak and clean the ring.

[0029] Preferably, a drainage groove 4 is provided on the base 1 at a position corresponding to the perimeter of the annular slot 12, and the drainage groove 4 is connected to the annular slot 12. For example, one or more drainage grooves 4 can be provided. By providing drainage grooves 4, the contaminated cleaning liquid discharged through the material outlet 11 can be discharged through the annular slot 12 and the drainage groove 4, preventing the accumulation of deposits in the insertion groove, thereby ensuring the sealing of the contact point between the spray hood 2 and the base 1.

[0030] Preferably, a sealing ring 14 is provided at the end of the spray hood 2 facing the base 1. For example, the sealing ring 14 can be a silicone or rubber sealing ring 14, and is installed and fixed on the spray hood 2 by conventional methods such as adhesive. By setting the sealing ring 14, the sealing effect at the contact point between the spray hood 2 and the base 1 is further improved, preventing the clean cleaning fluid from overflowing, thereby ensuring that the cleaning fluid can accumulate in the shielding ring 13.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, the clamping member 15 may be a grid plate to reduce the contact area between the clamping member 15 and the collar, ensuring that the cleaning fluid can clean the contact area between the clamping member 15 and the collar.

[0032] This cleaning device can efficiently clean the raceway using the following steps: First, the drive assembly 3 drives the rotating seat 17 to rotate, and the guide groove 9 is aligned with the material inlet 11 of the feed trough 6. Then, the ring can enter the guide groove 9 through the material inlet 11.

[0033] Then, the external lifting rod is used to drive the spray hood 2 to descend until the bottom of the spray hood 2 contacts the base 1, which can close the material port 11 of the shielding ring 13. At this time, the telescopic rod 8 can also be used to drive the clamping member 15 to descend, so that the clamping member 15 can limit the ring and ensure that the ring can be kept in the guide groove 9 under the joint limit of the shielding ring 13, the guide groove 9 and the clamping member 15.

[0034] Then, the liquid supply device supplies liquid to the spray head 7, and the spray head 7 injects cleaning liquid into the shielding ring 13. At the same time, the drive component 3 drives the rotating seat 17 to rotate. At this time, the cleaning liquid gradually accumulates in the shielding ring 13. The ring can not only be sprayed and soaked for cleaning in the shielding ring 13, but the ring can also rotate with the guide groove 9 to achieve deep cleaning, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning effect of the ring.

[0035] Finally, the spray hood 2 can be driven to rise, and the cleaning fluid will continue to spray during the rising process. The telescopic rod 8 is also extended to ensure that the clamping member 15 can always limit the ring. At this time, the spray hood 2 no longer blocks the material port 11 of the shielding ring 13, and the contaminated cleaning fluid in the shielding ring 13 can be discharged through the material port 11. The cleaning fluid sprayed from the spray head 7 can then perform a secondary spray cleaning on the ring, ensuring the cleaning effect of the ring. In addition, after the secondary spray cleaning, the liquid supply equipment can be turned off to stop the spraying. At this time, the ring can be spun dry by the rotating seat 17 to remove the cleaning fluid remaining on the surface of the ring.

[0036] When the next ring needs cleaning, the drive assembly 3 can be used to rotate the rotating seat 17 until the guide groove 9 is aligned with the material outlet 11 at the discharge trough 5. Then, the telescopic rod 8 is shortened to release the clamping component 15 from its limit on the ring, and the lifting rod is used to release the spray hood 2 from its blockage of the material outlet 11. The ring can then move out of the guide groove 9 and into the discharge trough 5 for discharge. Afterward, once the guide groove 9 has rotated and reset, the next ring can be assembled and cleaned. The operation is simple and helps improve the cleaning efficiency of rings on the production line.

[0037] This utility model discloses a bearing ring cleaning device for a bearing production line. It can be used for cleaning bearing rings in a bearing production line, offering advantages such as high cleaning efficiency and excellent cleaning effect. By setting a guide groove on a rotating seat and fitting a shielding ring around the outside of the guide groove, the material inlet of the shielding ring can be blocked through its cooperation with the spray hood. Combined with the guide groove driving the bearing ring to rotate, effective cleaning of the bearing ring can be achieved.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
