Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a device for automatically cleaning the inside and outside of a manifold. Background Technology

[0002] The manifold of an automotive air conditioning condenser is an important component of the condenser. Its function is to evenly distribute the refrigerant to all parts of the condenser to achieve effective heat exchange.

[0003] The manufacturing process of the manifold involves bending both sides of a long sheet of material towards the middle to form a tube with a circular cross-section. Then, the two sides of the long sheet are welded together. Finally, it is cut to the required length using a cutting machine. The welding of the two sides of the long sheet is usually done by internal welding. After welding, the weld seam needs to be smoothed with an internal scraper, and water is used for cooling. This results in condensation remaining inside and on the outer wall of the manifold. In addition, the internal scraper generates chips during the smoothing process of the weld seam, which remain inside the manifold. To ensure the quality of the finished manifold, it is necessary to clean the condensation and chips inside the manifold, as well as the outer wall of the manifold.

[0004] Existing methods for cleaning condensate and chips inside the manifold typically involve inserting a long rod with a cloth-covered end into the manifold and repeatedly pushing it in and out to dry the inner wall and remove chips. In addition, the outer wall of the manifold is usually cleaned by wiping it with a cloth. These cleaning methods for the manifold are inefficient, labor-intensive, and it is difficult to guarantee the cleaning quality. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device for automatically cleaning the inside and outside of a manifold, thereby solving at least one of the aforementioned technical problems.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a device for automatically cleaning the inside and outside of a manifold is provided, comprising:

[0007] An air blowing device, which is equipped with an air jet pipe;

[0008] The clamping mechanism can clamp the manifold and insert the port of the manifold into the jet pipe;

[0009] A cleaning box that can clean the outer wall of the manifold. One end of the cleaning box is provided with an inlet and the other end with an outlet. The inner wall of the outlet is conical and a high-pressure air blowing port is provided on the inner wall of the outlet. The high-pressure air blowing port is connected to an external air compressor.

[0010] A first conveying device, capable of conveying the manifold to the inlet; and

[0011] The second conveying device can transport the manifold pipe sent from the outlet to the downstream direction.

[0012] The device of this invention inserts one end of the manifold into the jet pipe of the air blowing device. A clamping mechanism clamps the manifold, and high-pressure gas blown from the jet pipe removes condensate and chips from inside the manifold, ensuring its cleanliness. The cleaned manifold is then placed on a first conveying device, which transports it to the inlet of a cleaning box. The cleaning box cleans the outer wall of the manifold, and a high-pressure air outlet on the inner wall of the outlet dries the outer wall to ensure its dryness. Because the inner wall of the outlet is conical, the high-pressure air nozzle on the inner wall of the outlet can be tilted at a certain angle to blow the outer wall of the collector tube to improve the drying efficiency. After the outer wall of the collector tube is cleaned and dried, it is transported downstream by the second conveying device. The equipment of this utility model can efficiently clean the condensate and chips inside the collector tube, and the outer wall of the collector tube can be cleaned efficiently by the cleaning box. The cleaning efficiency of the collector tube is high, the cleaning quality can be guaranteed, and the labor intensity of the operators can be reduced.

[0013] Furthermore, the cleaning tank includes a housing, at least one pair of brushes, and a drive mechanism.

[0014] The inlet is located at one end of the enclosure, and the outlet is located at the other end.

[0015] The drive unit drives a pair of brushes to rotate in opposite directions, with the brushes positioned between the inlet and outlet of the tube.

[0016] Therefore, the cleaning tank can hold volatile cleaning agents. Under the action of the first conveying device, when the manifold enters the tank from the inlet, it passes between at least two brushes. The brushes, rotating in opposite directions, can use the volatile cleaning agents to efficiently clean the outer wall of the manifold. The high-pressure air outlet at the outlet can dry the volatile cleaning agents remaining on the outer wall of the manifold to ensure the dryness of the outer wall. After the outer wall is cleaned and dried, the manifold is conveyed downstream under the action of the second conveying device.

[0017] Furthermore, the cleaning box also includes two guide plates that can drive the manifold to convey the brush body. The two guide plates are arranged in a figure-eight shape. The first end of each guide plate is located on the inner wall of the box with an inlet. The inlet is located between the first ends of the two guide plates. The distance between the second ends of the two guide plates is smaller than the distance between the first ends of the two guide plates.

[0018] Therefore, the two guide plates arranged in a figure-eight shape can drive the port of the manifold entering from the inlet toward the brush body, ensuring that the port of the manifold passes smoothly between at least two brush bodies.

[0019] Furthermore, there are two pairs of brushes, arranged along the direction from the inlet to the outlet. The driving device is a motor, and there are four of them. The four motors drive the four brushes to rotate respectively.

[0020] Therefore, two motors drive one pair of brushes to rotate in opposite directions, and two other motors drive another pair of brushes to rotate in opposite directions. The two pairs of brushes can ensure the cleanliness of the outer wall of the manifold.

[0021] Furthermore, there are two high-pressure air inlets, which are arranged opposite to each other.

[0022] Therefore, the two high-pressure air inlets are positioned opposite each other to dry the outer wall of the manifold 360 degrees, ensuring the dryness of the outer wall of the manifold.

[0023] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a support platform, a clamping block, and a first cylinder.

[0024] The clamping block is located above the support platform, and the first cylinder drives the clamping block to move closer to or away from the support platform.

[0025] Therefore, one end of the manifold is passed between the clamping block and the support platform, and the end of the manifold is inserted into the jet pipe of the air blowing device. Then, under the action of the first cylinder, the clamping block moves closer to the support platform and presses the manifold firmly onto the support platform to prevent the manifold from being blown away when the high-pressure gas ejected from the jet pipe cleans the inside of the manifold. After the inside of the manifold is cleaned, under the action of the first cylinder, the clamping block moves away from the support platform, and the operator can then pull out the manifold and proceed with the cleaning process of the outer wall of the manifold.

[0026] Furthermore, the first conveying device includes a first wheel body, a first guide wheel, a first mounting base, a second cylinder, and a first drive component.

[0027] The first guide wheel is mounted on the first mounting base and can rotate on the first mounting base. The first guide wheel is located above the first wheel body. The second cylinder drives the first mounting base to move closer to or away from the first wheel body. A first groove is provided around the outer wall of the first guide wheel in a circumferential direction.

[0028] The first driving component drives the first wheel to rotate, and a second groove is provided around the outer wall of the first wheel in the circumferential direction.

[0029] The first and second grooves can clamp the manifold and drive it towards the inlet.

[0030] Therefore, after the inside of the manifold is cleaned, the end of the manifold is placed in the second groove of the first wheel body. Under the action of the second cylinder, the first mounting seat drives the first guide wheel to approach the first wheel body. The first groove on the first guide wheel and the second groove on the first wheel body clamp the manifold. Since the first guide wheel can rotate on the first mounting seat, when the first drive component drives the first wheel body to rotate, the first wheel body and the first guide wheel can jointly transport the manifold towards the inlet. The first groove on the first guide wheel and the second groove on the first wheel body can prevent the manifold from shifting during the transport process, ensuring that the manifold can be accurately transported to the inlet of the housing.

[0031] Furthermore, it also includes a rotatable guide wheel, with a third groove on the outer wall of the guide wheel, and the first wheel body located between the inlet and the guide wheel.

[0032] Therefore, the guide wheel can help the manifold smoothly enter the inlet of the housing, ensuring that the manifold is transported smoothly. It is especially suitable for long manifolds. The third groove on the guide wheel can prevent the manifold from deviating during the transport process.

[0033] Furthermore, there are two second conveying devices, with one second conveying device located between the other and the outlet pipe.

[0034] The second conveying device includes a second wheel body, a second guide wheel, a second mounting base, a third cylinder, and a second drive component.

[0035] The second guide wheel is mounted on the second mounting base and can rotate on the second mounting base. The second guide wheel is located above the second wheel body. The third cylinder drives the second mounting base to move closer to or away from the second wheel body. A fourth groove is provided around the outer wall of the second guide wheel in a circumferential direction.

[0036] The second drive component drives the second wheel to rotate. A fifth groove is provided around the outer wall of the second wheel in a circumferential direction.

[0037] The fourth and fifth grooves can clamp the manifold and drive it to transport downstream.

[0038] Therefore, the end of the collector pipe delivered from the outlet on the housing is accommodated in the fifth groove of the second wheel body. Under the action of the third cylinder, the second mounting seat drives the second guide wheel to approach the second wheel body. The fourth groove on the second guide wheel and the fifth groove on the second wheel body clamp the collector pipe. Since the second guide wheel can rotate on the second mounting seat, when the second drive component drives the second wheel body to rotate, the second wheel body and the second guide wheel can jointly transport the collector pipe downstream. The fourth groove on the second guide wheel and the fifth groove on the second wheel body can prevent the collector pipe from deviating during the transport process, ensuring that the collector pipe can be accurately transported downstream. The two second conveying devices can relay the transport of the collector pipe to ensure that the collector pipe is transported smoothly downstream.

[0039] Furthermore, it also includes a collection box, with a clamping mechanism located between the jet pipe and the collection box, and the opening on the collection box facing the port of the jet pipe.

[0040] Therefore, the high-pressure gas blown out by the jet pipe blows the chips inside the manifold out of the manifold port, and the collection box can collect the chips blown out of the manifold port, making it convenient to centrally process the chips. Attached Figure Description

It should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "linked," and "set up" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components.

[0052] Example 1:

[0053] See Figures 1 to 8 The equipment is used for automatic cleaning of the inside and outside of the manifold, including an air blowing device 1, a clamping mechanism 2, a cleaning box, a first conveying device, a second conveying device, a guide wheel 6, a first support 8, a second support 9, and an auxiliary support platform 10.

[0054] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The air blowing device 1 is installed on the first bracket 8. The air blowing device 1 is equipped with a jet pipe 11. The air blowing device 1 can be an air compressor. The high-pressure gas generated by the air blowing device 1 can be ejected from the jet pipe 11.

[0055] The clamping mechanism 2 can clamp the manifold and insert the port of the manifold into the jet pipe 11. Specifically, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 and Figure 2The clamping mechanism 2 is mounted on the first bracket 8. The clamping mechanism 2 includes a support platform 21, a clamping block 22, and a first cylinder 23. The bottom of the support platform 21 is fixed to the first bracket 8. The first cylinder 23 is mounted on the first bracket 8. The clamping block 22 is located above the support platform 21 and is mounted on the drive rod of the first cylinder 23. The first cylinder 23 can drive the clamping block 22 closer to or further away from the support platform 21, passing one end of the manifold between the clamping block 22 and the support platform 21, and thus... The port of the flow tube is inserted into the jet pipe 11 of the air blowing device 1. Then, under the action of the first cylinder 23, the clamping block 22 approaches the support platform 21 and the clamping block 22 firmly presses the flow tube onto the support platform 21 to prevent the flow tube from being blown away when the high-pressure gas ejected from the jet pipe 11 cleans the inside of the flow tube. After the inside of the flow tube is cleaned, under the action of the first cylinder 23, the clamping block 22 moves away from the support platform 21, and the operator can then pull out the flow tube and perform the cleaning process on the outer wall of the flow tube.

[0056] To prevent the manifold from shifting on the support platform 21, an arc-shaped groove can be formed on the support platform 21, and the manifold is accommodated in the arc-shaped groove.

[0057] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The auxiliary support platform 10 is installed on the first bracket 8. When one end of the manifold is inserted into the jet pipe 11, the auxiliary support platform 10 can support the other end of the manifold to prevent the other end of the manifold from tilting upwards. It is especially suitable for manifolds with a long length.

[0058] The cleaning tank, the first conveying device, and the second conveying device are all mounted on the second bracket 9, which is located on the side of the first bracket 8. The second bracket 9 can also be integrally formed with the first bracket 8.

[0059] The cleaning tank can clean the outer wall of the manifold. (See attached image) Figure 4 The cleaning tank has an inlet 301 formed at one end and an outlet 302 formed at the other end. The inlet 301 and the outlet 302 are arranged coaxially.

[0060] See Figures 3 to 5The cleaning box includes a box body 31, at least one pair of brushes 32, and a drive unit 33. The box body 31 is fixed on a second bracket 9. A cover component 311 is installed on the top of the box body 31. An inlet 301 is located at one end of the box body 31, and an outlet 302 is located at the other end of the box body 31. The drive unit 33 can be fixed in the box body 31 by a crossbeam 331. The two ends of the crossbeam 331 are respectively fixed to two opposite inner walls of the box body 31. The drive unit 33 can drive the pair of brushes 32 to rotate in opposite directions. The brushes 32 are arranged in parallel and located between the inlet 301 and the outlet 302. The bristles of the two brushes 32 in a pair extend into each other's bristles. The manifold can pass between the two brushes 32 in a pair. The housing 31 of the cleaning box can hold volatile cleaning agents such as 2401HS cleaning agent. When the manifold enters the housing 31 from the inlet 301, the manifold passes between at least two brushes 32. The brushes 32 rotating in opposite directions can use the volatile cleaning agent to efficiently clean the outer wall of the manifold.

[0061] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 The inner wall of the outlet 302 is conical, and a high-pressure air inlet 303 is formed on the inner wall of the outlet 302. The high-pressure air inlet 303 is connected to an external air compressor through a pipeline. In this embodiment, there are two high-pressure air inlets 303, which are arranged opposite to each other. The high-pressure gas blown out from the high-pressure air inlets 303 can dry the volatile cleaning agent remaining on the outer wall of the manifold to ensure the dryness of the outer wall of the manifold. After the outer wall of the manifold is cleaned and dried, it is transported downstream by the second conveying device. The two high-pressure air inlets 303 arranged opposite to each other can perform 360-degree drying treatment on the outer wall of the manifold to ensure the dryness of the outer wall of the manifold. Because the inner wall of the outlet 302 is conical, the high-pressure air outlet 303 on the inner wall of the outlet 302 can be tilted at a certain angle to blow air onto the outer wall of the manifold to improve the drying efficiency. This is because the air blowing area generated by tilting the air onto the outer wall of the manifold is relatively larger than the air blowing area generated by vertical air blowing. Due to the volatility of the volatile cleaning agent, the volatile cleaning agent remaining in the manifold does not need to be dried. It will evaporate on its own after a period of time. Even if there is a short-term residue of volatile cleaning agent inside the manifold, the inside of the manifold will not come into contact with foreign objects, while the outer wall of the manifold may come into contact with foreign objects during transportation. Therefore, only the outer wall of the manifold needs to be dried.

[0062] See Figure 4 and Figure 5In this embodiment, there are two pairs of brush bodies 32, arranged along the direction from the inlet 301 to the outlet 302. The driving device 33 consists of four motors, each driving one of the four brush bodies 32 to rotate. Two brush bodies 32 in each pair rotate in opposite directions. Two motors drive one pair of brush bodies 32 to rotate in opposite directions, and the other two motors drive the other pair of brush bodies 32 to rotate in opposite directions. The two pairs of brush bodies 32 ensure the cleanliness of the outer wall of the manifold. In other embodiments, the number of brush body pairs 32 can be adjusted adaptively according to cleaning requirements.

[0063] See Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cleaning tank 3 also includes two guide plates 34, which drive the manifold to convey the contents towards the two pairs of brushes 32. The two guide plates 34 are arranged in a V-shape. (See reference...) Figure 4 The bottoms of both guide plates 34 are fixed to the inner bottom of the housing 31, see reference. Figure 5 The first ends 341 of the two guide plates 34 are fixed to the inner wall of the housing 31 where the inlet 301 is provided. The inlet 301 is located between the first ends 341 of the two guide plates 34. The distance between the second ends 342 of the two guide plates 34 is smaller than the distance between the first ends 341 of the two guide plates 34. The two guide plates 34 arranged in a figure-eight shape can drive the port of the collector pipe entering from the inlet 301 to be conveyed in the direction of the two pairs of brushes 32, ensuring that the port of the collector pipe passes smoothly between the two brushes 32 of each pair of brushes 32. The two guide plates 34 can guide the conveying of the collector pipe.

[0064] The first conveying device can transport the manifold to the inlet 301. The first conveying device is mounted on the second bracket 9. For details, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 2 to 6The first conveying device includes a first wheel body 41, a first guide wheel 42, a first mounting base 43, a second cylinder 44, and a first drive component 45. The first wheel body 41 is mounted on a second bracket 9 and can rotate on the second bracket 9. The first drive component 45 is mounted on the second bracket 9 and is a motor. The first drive component 45 drives the first wheel body 41 to rotate through a "wheel body-synchronous belt" structure. The second cylinder 44 is mounted on the second bracket 9. The first mounting base 43 is fixed to the drive rod of the second cylinder 44. A groove is formed on the first mounting base 43. A rotating shaft is inserted through the first guide wheel 42, and the two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively fixed. On the two opposite sidewalls of the groove on the first mounting base 43, the first guide wheel 42 can rotate freely on the first mounting base 43. The first guide wheel 42 is located above the first wheel body 41. The second cylinder 44 drives the first mounting base 43 to move closer to or away from the first wheel body 41. The first mounting base 43 drives the first guide wheel 42 to move closer to or away from the first wheel body 41. A first groove 421 is formed circumferentially on the outer wall of the first guide wheel 42, and a second groove 411 is formed circumferentially on the outer wall of the first wheel body 41. The first groove 421 and the second groove 411 can jointly clamp the manifold and drive the manifold towards the inlet 301. (See reference...) Figure 6 After the inside of the manifold is cleaned, the end of the manifold is placed in the second groove 411 of the first wheel body 41. Under the action of the second cylinder 44, the first mounting base 43 drives the first guide wheel 42 to approach the first wheel body 41. The first groove 421 on the first guide wheel 42 and the second groove 411 on the first wheel body 41 clamp the manifold. Since the first guide wheel 42 can rotate on the first mounting base 43, when the first drive component 45 drives the first wheel body to rotate 41, the first wheel body 41 and the first guide wheel 42 can jointly transport the manifold towards the inlet 301. The first groove 421 on the first guide wheel 42 and the second groove 411 on the first wheel body 41 can prevent the manifold from shifting during the transport process, ensuring that the manifold can be accurately transported to the inlet 301 of the housing 31. After each manifold is transported, the second cylinder 44 drives the first guide wheel 42 away from the first wheel body 41 to prepare for the next transport.

[0065] See Figures 2 to 5 The guide wheel 6 is mounted on the second support 9 and can rotate on the second support 9. A third groove 61 is formed on the outer wall of the guide wheel 6. The first wheel body 41 is located between the inlet 301 and the guide wheel 6. The structure of the guide wheel 6 is the same as that of the first wheel body 41. The guide wheel 6 can assist the manifold to enter the inlet 301 of the box 31 smoothly, ensuring that the manifold is transported smoothly. It is especially suitable for long manifolds. The third groove 61 on the guide wheel 6 can prevent the manifold from deviating during the transport process.

[0066] The second conveying device can transport the manifold pipe delivered from the outlet 302 to the downstream direction. The second conveying device is installed on the second support 9. For details, please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 3 to 5 The second conveying device includes a second wheel body 51, a second guide wheel 52, a second mounting base 53, a third cylinder 54, and a second drive component 55. The second wheel body 51 is mounted on a second bracket 9 and can rotate on the second bracket 9. The second drive component 55 is mounted on the second bracket 9 and is a motor. The second drive component 55 drives the second wheel body 51 to rotate through a "wheel body-synchronous belt" structure. The third cylinder 54 is mounted on the second bracket 9. The second mounting base 53 is fixed to the drive rod of the third cylinder 54. A groove is formed on the second mounting base 53. A rotating shaft is inserted in the second guide wheel 52. The two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively fixed to two opposite side walls of the groove on the second mounting base 53. The second guide wheel 52 can rotate freely on the second mounting base 53. The second guide wheel 52 is located above the second wheel body 51. The third cylinder 54 drives the second mounting base 53 to move closer to or away from the second wheel body 51. The second mounting base 53 drives the second guide wheel 52 to move closer to or away from the second wheel body 51. The outer wall of the second guide wheel 52... A fourth groove 521 is formed around the upper circumference, and a fifth groove 511 is formed around the upper circumference of the outer wall of the second wheel body 51. The fourth groove 521 and the fifth groove 511 can jointly clamp the manifold and drive the manifold to be transported downstream. The end of the manifold delivered from the outlet 302 on the housing 31 is accommodated in the fifth groove 511 of the second wheel body 51. Under the action of the third cylinder 54, the second mounting seat 53 drives the second guide wheel 52 to approach the second wheel body 51, and the fourth groove on the second guide wheel 52... The fifth groove 511 on the second wheel body 51 clamps the manifold. Since the second guide wheel 52 can rotate on the second mounting base 53, when the second drive component 55 drives the second wheel body 51 to rotate, the second wheel body 51 and the second guide wheel 52 can jointly transport the cleaned manifold downstream. The fourth groove 521 on the second guide wheel 52 and the fifth groove 511 on the second wheel body 51 can prevent the manifold from shifting during the transport process, ensuring that the manifold can be accurately transported downstream.

[0067] In this embodiment, the structure of the second conveying device is the same as that of the first conveying device, except that their installation positions are different.

[0068] See Figure 7 and Figure 8In this embodiment, there are two second conveying devices. One second conveying device is located between the other second conveying device and the outlet 302. A second driving component 55 can drive the two second wheels 51 of the two second conveying devices to rotate synchronously through a "wheel-synchronous belt" structure. The two second conveying devices can relay the flow pipe to ensure that the flow pipe is transported smoothly downstream. After each flow pipe is transported, the two third cylinders 54 synchronously drive the two second guide wheels 52 away from the first wheel 41 to prepare for the next transport.

[0069] The working modes of the air compressor, second cylinder 44, first drive component 45, third cylinder 54 and second drive component 55 connected to the air blowing device 1, first cylinder 23, drive device 33 and high-pressure air blowing port 303 can be preset by the controller to achieve coordinated operation.

[0070] See Figures 1 to 8This utility model relates to an automatic cleaning device for the inside and outside of a manifold. One end of the manifold is passed between the clamping block 22 and the support platform 21, and the end of the manifold is inserted into the jet pipe 11 of the air blowing device 1. The auxiliary support platform 10 supports the other end of the manifold. Then, under the action of the first cylinder 23, the clamping block 22 moves closer to the support platform 21, pressing the manifold onto the support platform 21. The high-pressure gas blown out from the jet pipe 11 blows out the condensate and chips inside the manifold, ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the manifold. After the inside of the manifold is cleaned, under the action of the first cylinder 23, the clamping block 22 moves away from the support platform 21, and the operator... The operator pulls out the manifold and then cleans its outer wall. A volatile cleaning agent is placed in the cleaning tank 31. The cleaned end of the manifold is placed in the second groove 411 of the first wheel 41, and simultaneously placed in the third groove 61 of the guide wheel 6. Under the action of the second cylinder 44, the first groove 421 on the first guide wheel 42 and the second groove 411 on the first wheel 41 clamp the manifold. When the first drive component 45 drives the first wheel 41 to rotate, the first wheel 41 and the first guide wheel 42 together transport the manifold to the inlet 301 of the tank 31. The manifold enters the tank 31 from the inlet 301. In the middle, two guide plates 34 arranged in a figure-eight shape drive the port of the manifold entering from the inlet 301 towards the two pairs of brushes 32. The manifold passes between the two pairs of brushes 32. The two pairs of brushes 32, rotating in opposite directions, use volatile cleaning agents to efficiently clean the outer wall of the manifold. The cleaned manifold is sent out from the outlet 302 of the housing 31. The high-pressure air blown out by the two high-pressure air ports 303 on the inner wall of the outlet 302 dries the volatile cleaning agent remaining on the outer wall of the manifold to ensure the dryness of the outer wall of the manifold. The cleaned and dried manifold is sent out from the outlet 302 on the housing 31.
