Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser deburring technology, specifically to a particulate removal cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Due to their unique shape and uneven structure, the battery connectors for new energy vehicles are prone to deformation when deburred using ordinary brushes, which affects their quality.

[0003] A powder metallurgy small gear punching burr removal and polishing device is disclosed, which includes a conveyor belt for transporting workpieces and a laser head positioned above the conveyor belt. A laser source is connected to the laser head via an optical fiber to provide laser light, which is focused above the conveyor belt into a laser band of the same width. As the workpiece is transported through the laser band, the laser ablates the surface burrs. However, the position of the laser head in the width direction of the conveyor belt is not adjustable, making it incompatible with conveyor belts of different bandwidths. Furthermore, the ablation of burrs generates a significant amount of smoke and dust containing solid particles. These particles contaminate the workpiece, requiring subsequent individual cleaning, which not only hinders production efficiency but also incurs unnecessary labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a particulate removal and cleaning device that can remove burrs with ultra-high efficiency, is compatible with different bandwidths, and avoids dust pollution of workpieces.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a particulate matter removal and cleaning device, including a conveyor line, a laser cleaning unit, a laser host, and a dust collector. The laser cleaning unit includes a laser head, an adjusting slide, and a cleaning assembly. The laser head is positioned above the conveyor line and is connected to the laser host via an optical fiber. The adjusting slide can adjust the position of the laser head in a first direction, which is parallel to the width direction of the conveyor line. The cleaning assembly includes a fume hood and a fume extraction tube. The fume hood is positioned to one side of the laser head and is tilted towards the laser head and directly below it. The fume hood is connected to the dust collector via the fume extraction tube.

[0006] As can be seen from the above scheme, by setting an adjustment slide, the position of the laser head in the width direction of the conveyor line can be adjusted, improving the compatibility of the equipment with conveyor lines of different widths; by setting a cleaning component, the smoke and dust generated by laser deburring can be sucked in in real time, avoiding smoke and dust contamination of the workpiece, ensuring the cleanliness of the workpiece, eliminating the need for subsequent cleaning processes, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0007] A further proposed solution is to design the smoking hood in a funnel shape, with the diameter of the inlet end of the smoking hood being larger than the diameter of the other end, and the inlet end of the smoking hood being arranged at an angle downwards.

[0008] A further option is to adjust the slide, which includes a base and a translational mount, with the translational mount slidably connected to the base in a first direction, and the laser head moving with the translational mount; the cleaning assembly is mounted on the translational mount and moves with the translational mount.

[0009] As can be seen from the above scheme, the above settings ensure that the fume hood of the cleaning component is always positioned in accordance with the laser head, avoiding the need to adjust the position of the fume hood separately after adjusting the position of the laser head.

[0010] A further option is that the cleaning assembly also includes a column, a crossbar, and a mounting base. The crossbar is mounted on the column and its height on the column is adjustable. The mounting base is located at one end of the crossbar, and the fume hood is mounted on the mounting base.

[0011] A further solution is to adjust the height of the laser head by adjusting the slide table; the slide table also includes a lifting seat, which is slidably connected to the translation seat in the vertical direction, and the laser head is set on the lifting seat.

[0012] A further option is to set the number of laser cleaning units to multiple, with the multiple laser cleaning units arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor line.

[0013] As can be seen from the above scheme, with the above settings, the product can pass through multiple laser cleaning units at high speed in sequence when it is conveyed at high speed on the conveyor line. Each laser cleaning unit can remove burrs on each workpiece with ultra-high efficiency. While ensuring ultra-high efficiency in burr removal, the high-speed operation of the conveyor line is maintained, which not only improves work efficiency, but also effectively prevents burr residue on the workpiece.

[0014] A further embodiment is that the conveyor line includes a conveyor base, a conveyor motor, a drive roller, a driven roller, and a conveyor belt. The drive roller and the driven roller are respectively located at both ends of the conveyor base, and the distance between the drive roller and the driven roller is adjustable. The conveyor belt is wound around the drive roller and the driven roller, and the conveyor motor drives the drive roller to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt to move.

[0015] As can be seen from the above scheme, the distance between the driving roller and the driven roller can be adjusted according to actual needs to keep the conveyor belt taut, ensure smooth conveying, thereby preventing product displacement on the conveying surface and ensuring the quality of deburring.

[0016] A further embodiment is that both ends of the driven roller are provided with a fixed seat, an adjusting seat, and an adjusting component. The fixed seat has a first elongated hole, and the adjusting seat has a second elongated hole and a first adjusting hole. The second elongated hole corresponds to and communicates with the first elongated hole. The end of the driven roller passes through the first elongated hole and is placed in the second elongated hole. One end of the adjusting component is threadedly connected to the first adjusting hole, and the other end of the adjusting component is connected to the end of the driven roller. By adjusting the depth of the adjusting component inserted into the first adjusting hole, the position of the driven roller in the second elongated hole is adjusted.

[0017] A further option is to use a stainless steel conveyor belt, or to lay stainless steel sheets on the conveyor surface of the conveyor belt.

[0018] As can be seen from the above scheme, by using stainless steel belts or stainless steel sheets to directly support the workpiece, the conveyor belt can be prevented from being punctured during the laser deburring process, thereby effectively extending its service life.

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0026] See Figures 1 to 4 The particulate removal cleaning equipment provided in this embodiment includes a workbench 1, an upper protective cover 2, a conveyor line 3, a laser host 5, a dust collector 6, and multiple laser cleaning units 4. This embodiment takes four laser cleaning units 4 as an example.

[0027] A conveyor line 3 is installed on the workbench 1 for high-speed transport of workpieces; in this embodiment, the workpiece is a battery connector for a new energy vehicle. Four laser cleaning units 4 are installed on one side of the conveyor line 3, arranged either along the conveying direction of the conveyor line 3 or staggered; in this embodiment, the former is preferred. An upper protective cover 2 is installed on the workbench 1 and surrounds the conveyor line 3 and the four laser cleaning units 4. The upper protective cover 2 is equipped with an operation interface 21, allowing operators to easily set relevant parameters, such as the conveying speed of the conveyor line 3 and the power of the laser.

[0028] In this embodiment, four laser cleaning units 4 are arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor line 3, allowing the workpiece to pass through the four laser cleaning units 4 sequentially and at high speed while being conveyed at high speed on the conveyor line 3. Each laser cleaning unit 4 can remove burrs from the workpiece with ultra-high efficiency, ensuring the quality of deburring while preventing workpiece deformation. In addition, the conveyor line 3 can continuously convey the workpiece at high speed during the deburring process without stopping, which significantly improves work efficiency and effectively prevents burr residue from remaining on the workpiece.

[0029] Each laser cleaning unit 4 includes a laser head 41, an adjustment slide 42, and a cleaning component 43.

[0030] An adjusting slide 42 is positioned on one side of the conveyor line 3. Both the laser head 41 and the cleaning assembly 43 are mounted on the adjusting slide 42 and positioned above the conveyor line 3. The adjusting slide 42 can adjust the position of the laser head 41 in a first direction, which is parallel to the width direction of the conveyor line 3, thus improving the equipment's compatibility with conveyor lines 3 of different widths. Furthermore, the adjusting slide 42 can also adjust the height of the laser head 41.

[0031] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The adjusting slide 42 includes a base 421, a translation seat 422, a lifting seat 423, a first handwheel 424, and a second handwheel 425. The translation seat 422 is slidably connected to the base 421 along a first direction, and its back-and-forth movement can be controlled by rotating the first handwheel 424 in both directions. The lifting seat 423 and the cleaning component 43 are both mounted on the translation seat 422 and move with it. The lifting seat 423 is slidably connected to the translation seat 422 along a vertical direction, and its vertical movement can be controlled by rotating the second handwheel 425 in both directions. The first handwheel 424 can drive the translation seat 422 to move via a lead screw or other components, and the second handwheel 425 can drive the lifting seat 423 to move via a lead screw or other components. This is a conventional technique in the art and will not be described in detail here. The laser head 41 is mounted on the lifting seat 423, allowing the laser head 41 to be adjusted both in the first direction and in the height direction.

[0032] The laser host 5 is connected to the laser head 41 via an optical fiber (not shown in the figure) to transmit laser light to the laser head 41. The laser beam strikes the burrs on the product. The burrs are small, and the power required to fuse them is low. The same power laser beam striking the product body is almost ineffective. Therefore, the laser can effectively remove burrs from the product without damaging the product body.

[0033] The laser emitted by the laser head 41 has a strip-shaped structure, which illuminates the product and has a wide scanning range, enough to cover the entire width of the conveyor line 3, ensuring that the product passes through the laser strip under the conveyor line 3.

[0034] Alternatively, a vision scanner may be mounted on the laser head 41, with the vision scanner facing downwards. When the vision scanner detects a product entering the laser field, the laser head 41 emits a laser; when the vision scanner does not detect a product entering the laser field, the laser head 41 stops emitting lasers.

[0035] The cleaning component 43 includes a fume hood 431, a fume duct (not shown), a column 432, a crossbar 433, and a mounting base 434.

[0036] The upright column 432 is mounted on the translation base 422, and the horizontal column 433 is mounted on the upright column 432, with the height of the horizontal column 433 on the upright column 432 adjustable. The mounting base 434 is located at one end of the horizontal column 433, and its position on the horizontal column 433 is adjustable. The fume hood 431 is mounted on the mounting base 434 and can rotate around the horizontal column 433 with the mounting base 434 to adjust its angle. The fume hood 431 is located on one side of the laser head 41, tilted towards the laser head 41 and directly below it. The fume hood 431 is connected to the dust collector 45244 via a fume pipe to remove the smoke and dust generated during laser deburring, thus preventing the smoke and dust from harming the health of workers and preventing particles in the smoke and dust from falling onto the workpiece and contaminating it.

[0037] The fumigation hood 431 is funnel-shaped, with the diameter of the inlet end of the fumigation hood 431 being larger than the diameter of the other end. The inlet end of the fumigation hood 431 is arranged at an angle downwards to facilitate the intake of smoke and dust.

[0038] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 6 The conveyor line 3 includes a conveyor base 31, a conveyor motor 32, a drive roller 33, a driven roller 34, and a conveyor belt 35.

[0039] The drive roller 33 and driven roller 34 are respectively located at both ends of the conveyor base 31. The conveyor belt 35 is wound around the drive roller 33 and driven roller 34. The conveyor motor 32 drives the drive roller 33 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 35 to move. The conveyor belt 35 is a stainless steel belt, or the conveying surface of the conveyor belt 35 is covered with stainless steel sheets. The product is placed on the stainless steel belt or stainless steel sheets.

[0040] The distance between the driving roller 33 and the driven roller 34 is adjustable. Specifically, in the horizontal direction, the position of the driving roller 33 is fixed, while the position of the driven roller 34 can be finely adjusted.

[0041] Both ends of the driven roller 34 are provided with a fixed seat 36, an adjusting seat 37, and an adjusting element (not shown in the figure). The fixed seat 36 has a first elongated hole 361, the length direction of which is parallel to the conveying direction. The adjusting seat 37 has a second elongated hole 371 and a first adjusting hole 372. The second elongated hole 371 is parallel to the conveying direction and is correspondingly arranged and connected to the first elongated hole 361. The first adjusting hole 372 passes through one end of the second elongated hole 371 from the end of the adjusting seat 37, and is preferably a screw hole. The end of the driven roller 34 passes through the first elongated hole 361 and is disposed in the second elongated hole 371. The end of the driven roller 34 has a second adjusting hole 341, which is preferably a smooth hole. One end of the adjusting member is screwed into the first adjusting hole 372, and the other end of the adjusting member passes through the second adjusting hole 341. The adjusting member can rotate relative to the driven roller 34, and a stop (not shown in the figure) is provided on the end of the adjusting member that passes through the driven roller 34. The stop is located on the side of the driven roller 34 facing away from the first adjusting hole 372 and is used to abut against the driven roller 34. By rotating the adjusting member, the depth of the adjusting member inserted into the first adjusting hole is adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the driven roller 34 in the second elongated hole 371.

[0042] This embodiment can perform single-sided deburring or double-sided deburring. Specifically: First, the workpiece is placed on the conveyor line with its first side facing upwards, and the first side of the workpiece passes under the laser head to achieve the first deburring operation; then, the operator can place the workpiece again at the loading end of the conveyor line with its second side facing upwards, and the second side of the workpiece passes under the laser head to achieve the double-sided deburring operation.

[0043] In another embodiment, two conveyor lines can be set up, with the unloading end of the first conveyor line connected to the loading end of the second conveyor line. A flipping mechanism is set between the two conveyor lines to flip the workpiece 180° and transfer it to the second conveyor line. The flipping mechanism can be a flipping robot.

[0044] In summary, this utility model, by setting an adjustment slide 42, can adjust the position of the laser head 41 in the width direction of the conveyor line 3, thereby improving the compatibility of the equipment with conveyor lines 3 of different widths; by setting a cleaning component 43, it can suck up the smoke and dust generated by laser deburring in real time, avoid smoke and dust contamination of the workpiece, ensure the cleanliness of the workpiece, and eliminate the need for subsequent cleaning processes, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0045] Finally, it should be emphasized that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, the present utility model can have various changes and modifications. 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.
