Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bearing processing technology, and in particular to a bearing ring cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] During the manufacturing process of bearing rings, a large amount of impurities, such as dust, grease, and metal shavings, inevitably adhere to the surface of the bearing rings. If these impurities are not thoroughly removed, they will not only accelerate component wear and cause abnormal noise during subsequent bearing operation, but also severely shorten the bearing's service life, thereby affecting the overall stability and reliability of the mechanical equipment.

[0003] Currently, there are various bearing ring cleaning devices on the market, such as the common spray cleaning machine. Although it can spray cleaning fluid through high-pressure nozzles to rinse the surface of the bearing rings, the nozzle position is relatively fixed, making it difficult to perform comprehensive and thorough cleaning of the complex structure of the bearing rings, especially the inner and outer walls, resulting in a significant reduction in cleaning effectiveness. Ultrasonic cleaning machines, while able to remove some impurities using the cavitation effect of ultrasound, have limited cleaning capabilities for stubborn stains and larger debris particles, often requiring subsequent manual scrubbing, which is cumbersome and inefficient. Furthermore, some cleaning equipment fails to allow the bearing rings to fully tumble and rotate in the cleaning fluid during the cleaning process, resulting in incomplete cleaning of certain areas of the bearing rings. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to at least partially solve one of the problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a cleaning device that can efficiently and comprehensively clean bearing races and has a high degree of automation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A bearing ring cleaning machine includes a frame with a cleaning tank mounted on the frame. It also includes a lifting frame, a cleaning drum, a reciprocating lifting mechanism, and a transmission mechanism. The cleaning drum is rotatably mounted on the lifting frame and is used to hold the bearing rings to be cleaned. The reciprocating lifting mechanism is located on the frame and is used to drive the lifting frame to move up and down reciprocally. The transmission mechanism is located inside the cleaning tank and drives the cleaning drum to rotate when it moves up and down.

[0007] In some embodiments, a protective box is mounted on the frame and surrounding the upper edge of the cleaning tank, the protective box having a sealed door hinged to its front side.

[0008] In some embodiments, the lifting frame includes a base frame and guide columns spaced apart on the base frame. The guide columns are connected to a reciprocating lifting mechanism. Rotary shafts are provided at both ends of the cleaning tub and are rotatably mounted on the base frame.

[0009] In some embodiments, the reciprocating lifting mechanism includes a motor mounting bracket on the frame, a motor mounted on the motor mounting bracket, an eccentric swing shaft on the output shaft of the motor, the upper ends of the two guide columns extending movably out of the protective box and connected to a crossbeam, a transverse sliding groove on the crossbeam, and the eccentric swing shaft disposed in the transverse sliding groove.

[0010] In some embodiments, a guide sleeve is provided on the protective box, and the guide column is movably inserted through the guide sleeve.

[0011] In some embodiments, the motor mounting bracket includes a vertical track frame disposed on the frame, a sliding seat sliding on the vertical track frame, and a cylinder for driving the sliding seat to slide up and down along the vertical track frame, and the motor is fixedly mounted on the sliding seat.

[0012] In some embodiments, the transmission mechanism includes a gear disposed on the rotating shaft, and a vertical rack that can mesh with the gear is disposed inside the cleaning tank.

[0013] In some embodiments, the lower end of the frame is provided with a plurality of casters.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. By incorporating a cleaning funnel that can be rotatably mounted on a lifting frame, the reciprocating lifting mechanism drives the lifting frame up and down while the transmission mechanism drives the cleaning funnel to rotate. This design allows the bearing rings placed inside the cleaning funnel to move up and down to change their position in the cleaning solution during the cleaning process, while also rotating to ensure comprehensive contact with the cleaning solution. This ensures that all surfaces of the rings, including the inner and outer walls and sides, are thoroughly cleaned, effectively solving the problem of incomplete cleaning in traditional cleaning equipment and greatly improving the cleaning quality.

[0016] 2. Through the coordinated operation of the reciprocating lifting mechanism and the transmission mechanism, the up-and-down reciprocating movement and rotation of the cleaning cylinder are automatically controlled; there is no need for frequent manual intervention to adjust the position of the bearing rings, and multiple bearing rings can be cleaned at one time, which greatly improves the cleaning efficiency; at the same time, it reduces manual operation and labor intensity, making the whole cleaning process more efficient and convenient, and is suitable for large-scale bearing ring cleaning operations.

[0020] Figure 4 This is a partial structural schematic diagram of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0021] The following detailed description provides various embodiments or examples for implementing this utility model. Of course, these are merely embodiments or examples and are not intended to be limiting. Additionally, repeated reference numerals, such as repeated numbers and / or letters, may be used in different embodiments. These repetitions are for the purpose of simple and clear description of this utility model and do not represent a specific relationship between the different embodiments and / or structures discussed.

[0022] like Figures 1-4 The bearing ring cleaning machine shown includes a frame 1, on which a cleaning tank 2 is mounted. The cleaning tank 2 can contain cleaning fluid. It also includes a lifting frame 3, a cleaning cylinder 4, a reciprocating lifting mechanism, and a transmission mechanism. The cleaning cylinder 4 is rotatably mounted on the lifting frame 3 and is used to place the bearing rings to be cleaned. The reciprocating lifting mechanism is located on the frame 1 and is used to drive the lifting frame 3 to move up and down reciprocally. The transmission mechanism is located inside the cleaning tank 2. When the cleaning cylinder 4 moves up and down, it is driven to rotate through the transmission mechanism.

[0023] The bearing rings to be cleaned are placed into the cleaning funnel 4. The reciprocating lifting mechanism is started, driving the lifting frame 3 to move the cleaning funnel 4 up and down in the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 2. During this process, the transmission mechanism is started by the up and down movement of the cleaning funnel 4, which in turn drives the cleaning funnel 4 to rotate. Under the dual action of the rotation and up and down movement of the cleaning funnel 4, the bearing rings come into full contact with the cleaning liquid, achieving thorough cleaning.

[0024] By rotating and reciprocating up and down the cleaning cylinder 4, the bearing rings are brought into full contact with the cleaning fluid, solving the problem of incomplete cleaning in traditional equipment and improving cleaning quality. The automated lifting and rotating actions reduce manual intervention, improve cleaning efficiency, and are suitable for large-scale production.

[0025] See Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, a protective box 31 is surrounded on the frame 1 and at the upper edge of the cleaning box 2. A sealing door 32 is hinged to the front of the protective box 31. The sealing door 32 is preferably made of transparent acrylic material.

[0026] The protective box 31 and the sealing door 32 can effectively prevent the cleaning fluid from splashing outside the equipment during the cleaning process, avoiding injury to the operators, and keeping the working environment clean. They can also reduce the entry of external dust and other impurities into the cleaning box 2, ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning fluid and improving the cleaning effect.

[0027] In this utility model, the lifting frame 3 includes a base frame 21 and guide columns 22 spaced apart on the base frame 21. The guide columns 22 are connected to a reciprocating lifting mechanism. The two ends of the cleaning cylinder 4 are provided with rotating shafts 23, which are rotatably mounted on the base frame 21.

[0028] When the reciprocating lifting mechanism is in operation, it drives the guide column 22 to move up and down, which in turn causes the base frame 21 to move up and down together with the guide column 22, and the cleaning cylinder 4 also moves up and down accordingly; at the same time, under the action of the transmission mechanism, the cleaning cylinder 4 rotates on the base frame 21 through the rotating shafts 23 at both ends.

[0029] In this utility model, the reciprocating lifting mechanism includes a motor fixing bracket 41 mounted on the frame 1, a motor 42 mounted on the motor fixing bracket 41, an eccentric swing shaft 43 provided on the output shaft of the motor 42, the upper ends of the two guide columns 22 movably protrude out of the protective box 31 and are connected to a crossbeam 44, a transverse sliding groove 45 is provided on the crossbeam 44, and the eccentric swing shaft 43 is located in the transverse sliding groove 45.

[0030] When the motor 42 starts, the output shaft drives the eccentric swing shaft 43 to make a circular motion. Since the eccentric swing shaft 43 is located in the transverse slide 45, its circular motion is converted into the up-and-down reciprocating motion of the crossbeam 44, which in turn drives the lifting frame 3 and the cleaning cylinder 4 to move up and down through the guide column 22.

[0031] Furthermore, a guide sleeve 51 is provided on the protective box 31, and the guide column 22 is movably inserted through the guide sleeve 51; the guide sleeve 51 effectively improves the stability and accuracy of the up and down movement of the guide column 22, avoids the guide column 22 from shaking or deviating during the movement, ensures the smooth movement of the cleaning cylinder 4, and thus improves the cleaning effect.

[0032] See Figures 1-3As shown, the motor mounting bracket 41 includes a vertical track frame 61 mounted on the frame 1, a sliding seat 62 sliding on the vertical track frame 61, and a cylinder 63 for driving the sliding seat 62 to slide up and down along the vertical track frame 61 is also mounted on the frame 1. The motor 42 is fixedly mounted on the sliding seat 62.

[0033] When the cylinder 63 extends or retracts, it drives the sliding seat 62 to slide up and down along the vertical track frame 61, thereby driving the motor 42, the eccentric swing shaft 43, the lifting frame 3, and the cleaning cylinder 4 to move up and down. In other words, when it is necessary to feed or remove material from the cleaning cylinder 4, the cylinder 63 can be used to move the cleaning cylinder 4 out of the top of the cleaning box 2, which makes it easier to feed or remove material from the cleaning cylinder 4. Then, the cylinder 63 can be used to move the cleaning cylinder 4 into the cleaning box 2.

[0034] See Figure 4 As shown, the transmission mechanism includes a gear 71 mounted on the rotating shaft 23, and a vertical rack 72 that can mesh with the gear 71 is provided inside the cleaning tank 2.

[0035] When the cleaning drum 4 moves up and down with the lifting frame 3, the gear 71 on the rotating shaft 23 rolls up and down along the vertical rack 72. Since the rack 72 is fixed, the gear 71 rotates during the rolling process, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 23 and the cleaning drum 4 to rotate.

[0036] By utilizing the meshing transmission of gear 71 and rack 72, the up-and-down movement of the cleaning cylinder 4 is converted into rotational movement, eliminating the need for an additional power source to drive the rotation of the cleaning cylinder 4. This simplifies the equipment structure, reduces energy consumption, and ensures the coordination between the rotation and up-and-down movement of the cleaning cylinder 4.

[0037] In this utility model, the lower end of the frame 1 is provided with a plurality of movable wheels 81, which support the entire equipment. The operator can push the frame 1 to move the equipment on the ground via the movable wheels 81. When the equipment moves to the designated position, the brakes of the movable wheels 81 can be locked to fix the equipment.

[0038] Based on the accompanying drawings and the foregoing display and description of the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model, those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
