[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The machine-side online cleaning and drying equipment has a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are orthogonal to each other. Referring to the figure, the first direction is parallel to the X-axis, the second direction is parallel to the Y-axis, and the third direction is parallel to the Z-axis.
[0023] The machine-side online cleaning and drying equipment includes a spray cleaning tank 100, a spray system 200, and a water blowing system.
[0024] The horizontal cross-section of the spray cleaning tank 100 is rectangular, and its length direction is parallel to the first direction. The spray cleaning tank 100 forms a spray cleaning space. The lower part of the spray cleaning space is used to contain the cleaning liquid, and the upper end is provided with a workpiece placement inlet. The operator can put the aluminum profile or other workpieces to be cleaned into the cleaning basket and then put them into the spray cleaning tank 100 through the workpiece placement inlet.
[0025] The inner tank of the spray cleaning tank 100 is made of SUS304 stainless steel with a thickness of approximately 1.5mm, and is reinforced with stainless steel square tubing on the outside to ensure the strength and durability of the spray cleaning tank 100. The outer wall of the spray cleaning tank 100 is lined with approximately 15mm thick thermal insulation cotton to reduce heat loss.
[0026] The spray cleaning tank 100 has an overflow tank 110 on one side in the second direction. The upper middle part of the spray cleaning tank 100 has an overflow outlet, which is connected to the overflow tank 110. By setting the overflow outlet, the oil and impurities floating on the surface of the cleaning liquid can be discharged from the spray cleaning tank 100 in a timely manner.
[0027] The spray system 200 includes nozzles 210, spray pipes 220, spray pumps 230, and circulation pipes (not shown in the figure).
[0028] Multiple nozzles 210 are evenly arranged on the four inner sidewalls of the spray cleaning tank 100. Two inner sidewalls arranged along the second direction have multiple nozzles 210 installed at equal intervals along the first direction, while each of the two inner sidewalls arranged along the first direction has one nozzle 210 installed. This allows the nozzles 210 to cover the outer surface of the workpiece to a great extent. Specifically, in this embodiment, the diameter of the nozzle 210 orifice is 2-4 mm.
[0029] In this embodiment, the spray pump 230 is preferably a 3KW stainless steel centrifugal pump. The inlet of the spray pump 230 is connected to the circulation pipeline, and the outlet is connected to the spray pipeline 220. During use, the spray pump 230 drives the cleaning fluid to flow sequentially through the spray cleaning tank 100, the circulation pipeline, the spray pipeline 220, and the nozzle 210, ultimately forming a stable spray cycle. Specifically, in this embodiment, the spray pump 230 is located on one side of the spray cleaning tank 100 in the second direction, and the spray pump 230 and the overflow tank 110 are located on the same side of the spray cleaning tank 100, so that the arrangement of the various components of the on-line cleaning and drying equipment is more reasonable.
[0030] A filter device 240 is installed in the circulation pipeline. The filter device 240 is a bag filter with a filtration accuracy of about 40 mesh, which can effectively remove particulate matter and impurities in the return cleaning liquid, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the spray liquid.
[0031] The water blowing system includes a water blowing air knife 310 and a water blowing drive device (the water blowing drive device is not shown in the figure).
[0032] The 310 water-blowing air knife is an aluminum alloy air knife that operates by being supplied with external compressed air.
[0033] The water-blowing air knife 310 is installed at the outlet of the cleaning tank and is used to powerfully blow water onto the workpiece after it has been sprayed and cleaned to remove residual cleaning fluid and dust.
[0034] In this embodiment, the water blowing drive device is set as an electric linear module. The output end of the water blowing drive device is connected to the water blowing air knife 310. The water blowing drive device drives the air knife to reciprocate along the first direction, adjusting the blowing angle and air force so that the surface of the workpiece can be fully dried.
[0035] To prevent liquid splashing during the cleaning process, in this embodiment, the on-line cleaning and drying equipment also includes a cover assembly. Specifically, the cover assembly includes: an upper cover 410 and a cover drive (the upper cover 410 drive is not shown in the figure).
[0036] The top cover 410 is made of stainless steel sheet with a thickness of approximately 1.0 mm, and is installed above the spray cleaning tank 100.
[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cover driving component is preferably a linear cylinder. The output end of the cover driving component is connected to the upper cover 410. The cover driving component can drive the upper cover 410 to move along the second direction, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the workpiece placement inlet. When the cover driving component drives the upper cover 410 to move along the second direction towards the location of the spray pump 230 and the overflow tank 110, the workpiece placement inlet opens. This design ensures that the upper cover 410 does not require additional space outside the machine-side online cleaning and drying equipment when it is opened.
[0038] The opening and closing action of the top cover 410 can be controlled by the staff through the interaction of the touch screen all-in-one machine with the control system.
[0039] The spray cleaning tank 100 is equipped with an insertable heating element with a heating power of 12KW, controlled by an automatic temperature controller. The temperature is adjustable from room temperature to 60℃. When the liquid temperature reaches the set value, the heating system stops working to ensure that the cleaning liquid in the tank is always kept at a suitable temperature.
[0040] This on-line cleaning and drying equipment is controlled by a touch screen all-in-one machine, providing both automatic and manual operation modes.
[0041] The control panel is equipped with a touchscreen, buttons, and indicator lights, displaying the real-time status of each system. All pumps, fans, and heating systems can be controlled independently. The system features liquid level monitoring, abnormal alarms, and an emergency stop button to ensure safe equipment operation. Parameter setting keys have a locking function to prevent unauthorized personnel from modifying them.
[0042] The operating procedure for the on-line cleaning and drying equipment is as follows: Manually place the cleaning basket containing the workpiece into the spray cleaning tank 100 → Start the spray system 200, and the workpiece will be cleaned in all directions within 1-2 minutes → After the spraying is completed, start the water blowing air knife 310 to blow water back and forth for 1-2 minutes to remove surface residual liquid → Manually remove the cleaning basket and the clean workpiece.
[0043] This solution has the following beneficial effects: 1. Multiple nozzles 210 are evenly arranged on the four inner walls of the spray cleaning tank 100 to ensure more comprehensive coverage of the cleaning fluid and effectively improve the cleanliness of the workpiece.
[0044] 2. The spray circulation system is equipped with a filter device 240, which can reuse the cleaning solution and reduce the consumption of the cleaning solution.
[0045] 3. The water-blowing air knife 310 can move back and forth to ensure that cleaning fluid and dust debris are completely blown away from the surface of the workpiece.
[0046] 4. Equipped with an automatic temperature control and heat preservation system, the cleaning temperature is stable, which can ensure the cleaning effect of the cleaning solution and is energy-saving and efficient.
[0047] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
