Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Cleaning the flywheel after turning is a crucial post-processing step in machining. Its main purpose is to remove residual cutting fluid, metal shavings, etc., ensuring the workpiece surface cleanliness meets assembly or subsequent process requirements. A typical cleaning process includes: 1) cleaning the flywheel with a cleaning agent to remove cutting fluid and impurities; 2) soaking the flywheel in a rust remover to prevent rusting.

[0003] In existing technologies, flywheels are typically cleaned by immersing them in cleaning agents and rust removers sequentially using a mechanical gripper. To facilitate monitoring of the liquid level and replenishment, the tanks containing the cleaning agents and rust removers are usually not covered. However, the lack of a cover can lead to liquid splashing during the process of the mechanical gripper and flywheel entering the liquid. If the splashed liquid falls onto the ground, it can cause the ground to become slippery, creating a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem of preventing liquid splashing during the cleaning process in existing technologies, this utility model provides a cleaning device.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A cleaning device includes a cleaning tank with a top opening, and a splash-proof assembly is provided inside the cleaning tank. The splash-proof assembly includes a float that can float on the liquid surface, an inlet provided on the float, a buffer provided at the inlet, and the buffer and the float are connected by an elastic member.

[0007] By adopting this technical solution, the present invention provides a splash-proof component inside the cleaning tank. The float can float on the liquid surface, while the buffer relies on the buoyancy of the float to float on the liquid surface. When the flywheel enters below the liquid surface from the inlet, the buffer can buffer and initially prevent liquid splashing. Secondly, when the flywheel extends out of the liquid, the residual liquid on it will drip onto the buffer, thus preventing liquid splashing. This effectively prevents liquid splashing in the cleaning tank during the flywheel's entry or exit, reducing safety hazards. Furthermore, the splash-proof component laid on the liquid surface does not affect liquid addition and can reduce liquid evaporation, thus reducing cleaning costs.

[0008] Preferably, the floating component is a plastic foam board with a hydrophobic structure, and the cushioning component is cotton cloth with a thickness of 1-2 cm.

[0009] After adopting this technical solution, the hydrophobic plastic foam board has good buoyancy and can float stably on the liquid surface, while the cotton cloth has a mesh structure, which can provide good suspension force when liquid drips onto it.

[0010] Preferably, the plastic foam board is provided with a snap-fit ​​component that can be snapped onto the cleaning tank.

[0011] In order to generate large liquid surface fluctuations, a snap-fit ​​device can be installed on the plastic foam board after adopting this technical solution. The snap-fit ​​device can fix the position of the plastic foam board relatively and prevent it from being pulled downward by the buffer.

[0012] Preferably, the floating component has a liquid inlet located away from the buffer component.

[0013] With this technical solution, the liquid level cannot be observed and it is inconvenient to add liquid because the position of the plastic foam board is fixed. Therefore, a liquid inlet can be set at the floating part away from the buffer part to facilitate the observation of the liquid level and the addition of liquid.

[0014] Preferably, the top surface of the float is provided with an inclined structure, and the liquid inlet is located at the lowest point of the inclined structure.

[0015] With this technical solution, the liquid inlet is located at the lowest point of the inclined structure, which facilitates the rapid flow of replenished liquid downwards.

[0016] Preferably, the elastic element is a rubber band.

[0017] Preferably, the cleaning tank includes a cleaning agent storage chamber and a rust remover storage chamber. The edge of the cleaning tank is surrounded by a barrier, and a baffle is provided between the cleaning agent storage chamber and the rust remover storage chamber. Each of the cleaning agent storage chamber and the rust remover storage chamber is provided with a splash-proof component.

[0018] With this technical solution, the liquid is less likely to splash out after the anti-splash component is installed. Therefore, the cleaning agent storage chamber and the rust remover storage chamber can be integrated into one cleaning tank without interfering with each other. This reduces the floor space occupied by the cleaning section and makes it easier to complete the cleaning work.

[0019] Preferably, the device also includes a flywheel clamping component, which includes a movable component and a fixed component. The movable component is provided with a mechanical gripper that can clamp the flywheel. The enclosure and the baffle are respectively provided with a first opening and a second opening for the mechanical gripper to pass through. The size of the access opening is larger than the size of the mechanical gripper.

[0020] With this technical solution, the mechanical gripper can transport the flywheel by moving on the moving component. The size of the insertion port is larger than the size of the mechanical gripper to ensure that the mechanical gripper and flywheel will only abut against the buffer and move it downwards, without contacting the floating component and causing it to move downwards.

[0021] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0022] This invention incorporates a splash-proof component within the cleaning tank. A floater floats on the liquid surface, while a buffer component relies on the buoyancy of the floater to remain on the surface. When the flywheel enters below the liquid surface through the inlet, the buffer component provides initial cushioning to prevent liquid splashing. Furthermore, when the flywheel extends out of the liquid, any remaining liquid drips onto the buffer component, thus preventing further splashing. This effectively prevents liquid splashing during the flywheel's entry and exit, reducing safety hazards. Moreover, the splash-proof component's placement on the liquid surface does not hinder liquid addition and reduces liquid evaporation, lowering cleaning costs. Attached Figure Description

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0029] The following is combined with Figures 1-2 This utility model will be described in detail.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a cleaning device includes a cleaning tank 1 with an open top. A splash-proof assembly is installed inside the cleaning tank 1. The splash-proof assembly includes a float 10 that can float on the liquid surface. The float 10 has an inlet, and a buffer 4 is installed at the inlet. The buffer 4 and the float 10 are connected by an elastic element 2. The sum of the dimensions of the buffer 4 and the float 10 is close to but slightly smaller than the dimension of the liquid surface in the cleaning tank 1, so that the float 10 can move up and down with the liquid surface within the cleaning tank 1. It should be noted that when the flywheel enters the liquid, it drives the buffer 4 downwards, ensuring that the pulling force exerted by the elastic element 2 on the float 10 is less than the buoyancy force of the float 10, so that the flywheel does not cause the float 10 to move up and down during its entry and exit from the liquid surface.

[0031] The method of using this utility model is as follows:

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the flywheel is moved by the clamping component to the top of the cleaning tank 1 until it reaches the position opposite to the buffer component 4. Then, the clamping component moves the flywheel downward. As the flywheel moves downward and contacts the buffer component 4, it continues to move the buffer component 4 into the liquid. Since the flywheel contacts the buffer component 4 before contacting the liquid surface, and the porous or mesh structure of the buffer component 4 can reduce the impact force on the liquid surface, it can reduce liquid splashing. When the flywheel exits the liquid after cleaning, the buffer component 4 exerts a pulling force on the elastic component 2 during its downward movement. Therefore, the buffer component 4 also moves upward during the upward movement of the flywheel until it reaches the position flush with the floating component 10 and then stops moving. After the flywheel leaves the liquid surface, the liquid remaining on it will drip downward and fall onto the buffer component 4 below, so no liquid splashing will occur.

[0033] In one embodiment, the floating element 10 is a plastic foam board with a hydrophobic structure, and the cushioning element 4 is cotton cloth with a thickness of 1-2 cm. Plastic foam board is a common material that can float on the liquid surface, and it is readily available and inexpensive. Cotton cloth has good water absorption, thus providing a good cushioning effect.

[0034] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 The plastic foam board shown is provided with a snap-fit ​​component 12 that can be snapped onto the cleaning tank 1. There are two snap-fit ​​components 12 in total, which are symmetrically arranged on the floating component 10. They are inverted "L" shaped structures and can be hung on the side wall of the cleaning tank 1. In other embodiments, in order to further improve the stability of the connection, they can also be set as inverted "U" shaped structures.

[0035] In one embodiment, a liquid inlet 11 is provided on the float 10 at a location away from the buffer 4. Since the float 10 cannot move according to the liquid level after the snap-fit ​​12 is provided, it is impossible to determine the liquid level and it is inconvenient to add liquid. Therefore, the liquid inlet 11 is provided so that the liquid level below can be observed and it is also convenient to add liquid.

[0036] In one embodiment, the top surface of the float 10 is provided with an inclined structure, and the liquid inlet 11 is located at the lowest point of the inclined structure. Specifically, the upper surface of the float 10 is inclined toward the liquid inlet 11, so that the liquid inlet 11 is located at the lowest point. Therefore, when adding liquid, the liquid can flow quickly along the inclined structure to the liquid inlet 11, which can facilitate the replenished liquid to flow into the lower chamber as soon as possible.

[0037] In one embodiment, the elastic element 2 is a rubber strip. The rubber strip has good elasticity, providing a good connection between the float 10 and the buffer 4. It also has a basic shape and provides some support, maintaining the basic shape of the buffer 4 and essentially blocking the inlet. In other embodiments, it can also be made of elastic materials such as silicone strips.

[0038] In one embodiment, the cleaning tank 1 includes a detergent storage chamber and a rust remover storage chamber. A barrier 3 is provided at the edge of the cleaning tank 1, and a baffle 9 is provided between the detergent storage chamber and the rust remover storage chamber. Each of the detergent storage chamber and the rust remover storage chamber is equipped with a splash-proof component. By providing the barrier 3 and the baffle 9, liquid splashing can be further prevented. Since the liquid is less likely to splash out after the splash-proof components are installed, the detergent storage chamber and the rust remover storage chamber can be integrated into one cleaning tank 1 without mutual interference, reducing the floor space required for the cleaning section and facilitating the cleaning work. When the cleaning tank 1 includes a detergent storage chamber and a rust remover storage chamber, a splash-proof component is provided on the liquid surface of both the detergent storage chamber and the rust remover storage chamber, ensuring that the flywheel can enter the detergent storage chamber and the rust remover storage chamber sequentially without splashing. It should be noted that the cleaning agent stored in the cleaning agent storage chamber and the rust remover stored in the rust remover storage chamber are both existing technologies. Those skilled in the art can select existing cleaning agents and rust removers on the market based on the composition of impurities on the flywheel.

[0039] In one embodiment, a flywheel clamping component is also included. The clamping component includes a moving assembly 7, which includes a fixed component and a moving component. The moving component is provided with a mechanical gripper 8 for clamping the flywheel. It should be noted that the mechanical gripper 8 also has a vertical extension function to meet the needs of driving the flywheel into and out of the liquid. The enclosure 3 and the baffle 9 are respectively provided with a first opening 6 and a second opening 5 for the mechanical gripper 8 to pass through. That is, the size of the first opening 6 and the second opening 5 should be larger than the size of the mechanical gripper 8 when clamping the flywheel, so that it can smoothly pass through the moving assembly 7 and move to the top of the buffer 4 of the anti-splash component of the cleaning agent storage chamber and the buffer 4 of the rust remover storage chamber. The size of the entry port is larger than the size of the mechanical gripper 8. The size of the entry port is larger than the size of the mechanical gripper 8 to ensure that the mechanical gripper 8 and the flywheel will only abut against the buffer 4 and drive it to move downward, without contacting the floating component 10 and driving the floating component 10 to move downward. It should be noted that when the cleaning tank 1 includes a cleaning agent storage chamber and a rust remover storage chamber, the buffer 4 of the anti-splash component in the cleaning agent storage chamber and the buffer 4 of the anti-splash component in the rust remover storage chamber are both located on the moving path of the mechanical gripper 8, and the mechanical gripper 8 first passes through the cleaning agent storage chamber for cleaning and then passes through the rust remover storage chamber for rust removal.

[0040] The embodiments described above merely illustrate specific implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are detailed and specific, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the technical solution of this application, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of this application.
