Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of screw rust prevention technology, and in particular to an integrated ultrasonic cleaning and drying device for screw rust prevention. Background Technology
[0002] A screw, also known as a threaded fastener, is a basic mechanical part that uses a helical structure to achieve mechanical connection, fixation, or transmission functions.
[0003] Screws are prone to corrosion due to residual cutting fluid, oil, metal shavings, dust, and moisture in the storage environment. Corrosion not only damages the appearance and precision of the screws, but also increases the thread clearance and reduces the tightening torque. In severe cases, it can even lead to loose connections and structural failure, posing safety hazards to equipment operation. Therefore, effective rust prevention treatment of screws is a key factor in ensuring their performance and service life.
[0004] Currently, in the screw rust prevention process, cleaning and drying are two core pretreatment steps. Existing technologies mostly use step-by-step equipment to complete this process. That is, the screws are first cleaned by ordinary spray cleaning machine or immersion cleaning equipment, and then the cleaned screws are transferred to independent drying equipment for drying. During this process, the screw surface is easily contaminated with dust again, and if the residual water after cleaning is not treated in time, it will form water stains during the transfer process.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need for an integrated ultrasonic cleaning and drying device for rust prevention treatment of screws. Utility Model Content
[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide an integrated ultrasonic cleaning and drying device for rust prevention treatment of screws, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned above.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0009] Preferably, the conveying assembly includes an electric guide rail, the support frame has a square hole, the inner surface of the square hole is provided with an electric guide rail, the electric guide rail is provided with an electric telescopic cylinder, the output end of the electric telescopic cylinder is provided with a connecting rod, and the surface of the connecting rod is provided with a limiting ring.
[0010] Preferably, the surface of the connecting rod is further provided with a connecting sleeve that connects to the connecting rod, the connecting sleeve is provided with an upper cover, the upper cover is provided with a cleaning bucket for storing screws, and the surface of the upper cover and the cleaning bucket are provided with a connecting lock.
[0011] Preferably, the surface of the cleaning tub has several circular holes.
[0012] Preferably, the driving component includes a stepper motor, which is installed on the right side of the drying chamber. The output end of the stepper motor is provided with a bevel gear set fixed inside the drying chamber. A friction mechanism is provided under the bevel gear set, and a turntable is provided on the bottom wall of the drying chamber.
[0013] Preferably, the friction mechanism includes a fixed frame, which is mounted on the drying oven. The inner cavity of the fixed frame is provided with two friction wheels. The output end of the bevel gear set is provided with a drive rod mounted on the fixed frame. The outer surface of the drive rod and the rotating shaft of the two friction wheels are provided with pulleys. The surfaces of the three pulleys are provided with a transmission belt.
[0014] Preferably, the stepper motor transmits power to the drive rod through a bevel gear set, causing the drive rod to drive two friction wheels to rotate via three pulleys and the transmission belt.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This utility model integrates an ultrasonic cleaner and a drying chamber into a single unit. Combined with a movable conveyor assembly, it achieves a closed-loop operation for screw cleaning, transfer, and drying. The conveyor assembly carries a cleaning tub containing screws, which is first inserted into the ultrasonic cleaner for efficient cleaning. After cleaning, the screws do not need to be transferred; they are directly moved to the top of the drying chamber via an electric guide rail and then fed into the drying chamber by an electric telescopic cylinder. Throughout the process, the screws remain in a closed storage state within the cleaning tub, preventing contact with the external environment. Furthermore, the screws do not require prolonged exposure after cleaning and can quickly enter the drying process, effectively reducing water stains caused by residual moisture. This provides a cleaner, drier surface for subsequent rust prevention treatment, ensuring the screws' appearance precision and thread fit performance.
[0017] 2. This utility model incorporates a dual drying mechanism of "hot air circulation + dynamic rotation" within the drying chamber. The drying chamber draws in air through a fan, which is then heated by a heating element to form hot air that is continuously blown onto the screws inside the cleaning tub. The drive assembly, through a stepper motor, bevel gear set, friction wheel, and other structures, rotates the cleaning tub within the drying chamber. During rotation, the screws inside the cleaning tub continuously change their contact angle with the hot air, avoiding dead zones caused by partial obstruction and achieving uniform drying from all directions. Furthermore, the rotation also accelerates the rate of moisture evaporation from the screw surface. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0026] Example 1, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an ultrasonic cleaning and drying integrated device for screw rust prevention treatment includes an ultrasonic cleaner 1, a drying box 5 connected to the right side of the ultrasonic cleaner 1, a support frame 2 on both the ultrasonic cleaner 1 and the drying box 5, a conveying component 3 for storing screws on the support frame 2, a driving component 4 on the right side of the drying box 5, and two rectangular holes 8 on the front side of the drying box 5. Each of the two rectangular holes 8 is equipped with a heating tube 7 and a fan 6, and the fan 6 heats the air drawn in through the heating tube 7.
[0027] This ultrasonic cleaner 1 is a device that uses the "cavitation effect" generated when ultrasonic waves propagate in a liquid to efficiently and non-destructively clean the surface and crevices of objects. It converts high-frequency electrical energy into mechanical vibration, causing the cleaning fluid to generate tiny bubbles that burst instantly, forming local high-pressure shock waves, thereby removing dirt, grease, dust, oxides and other impurities. Its existing technology model is: TYHD-600.
[0028] The implementation process of this device is as follows:
[0029] First, disassemble the conveyor assembly 3, then place the screws to be cleaned into the conveyor assembly 3. After placement, reassemble the conveyor assembly 3. Then, inject cleaning fluid into the ultrasonic cleaner 1, and control the conveyor assembly 3 to move so that the conveyor assembly 3 inserts the screws into the ultrasonic cleaner 1. At this time, the operator can start the ultrasonic cleaner 1 to clean the screws stored in the conveyor assembly 3.
[0030] In the above process, after cleaning, the operator controls the conveyor assembly 3 to move, lifting the screw from the ultrasonic cleaner 1. At this time, the conveyor assembly 3 suspends the screw above the ultrasonic cleaner 1, allowing large water droplets on the screw to pour out and flow back into the ultrasonic cleaner 1. The operator then controls the conveyor assembly 3 to move, moving the screw to the upper center position of the drying chamber 5, and then moving it downwards into the drying chamber 5. The operator can then start the drive assembly 4, fan 6, and heating tube 7. When the heating tube 7 moves, it generates heat through resistance. When the fan 6 moves, it blows air into the drying chamber 5. The air first passes through the heating tube 7, absorbing the heat generated by the heating tube 7, thus heating the air. This allows the fan 6 to blow hot air into the screw, drying the cleaned screw.
[0031] In the above, when the drive component 4 moves, it will drive the screws stored on the conveying component 3 to rotate, so that the screws located on the other side of the fan 6 rotate to a position parallel to the fan 6, so as to dry the screws from all directions and improve the drying efficiency.
[0032] As described above, once the drying process is complete, the conveying component 3 can be controlled to lift the screws into the air, and then the staff can remove the screws from the conveying component 3 to complete the cleaning and drying operation.
[0033] In a further embodiment, to achieve the purpose of conveying component 3 inserting the screw into ultrasonic cleaner 1 for cleaning, and then conveying the screw to drying oven 5 for drying, see [reference needed]. Figure 3 and Figure 4The conveying component 3 includes an electric guide rail 32, a square hole 33 is provided on the support frame 2, the electric guide rail 32 is provided on the inner surface of the square hole 33, an electric telescopic cylinder 31 is provided on the electric guide rail 32, a connecting rod 34 is provided at the output end of the electric telescopic cylinder 31, and a limiting ring 39 is provided on the surface of the connecting rod 34.
[0034] Furthermore, the surface of the connecting rod 34 is also provided with a connecting sleeve 35 connected to the connecting rod 34, and a top cover 36 is provided under the connecting sleeve 35. A cleaning bucket 37 for storing screws is provided under the top cover 36. The surfaces of the top cover 36 and the cleaning bucket 37 are both provided with a connecting latch 38.
[0035] Furthermore, the surface of the cleaning tub 37 is provided with several circular holes.
[0036] In the above process, the staff first separates the cleaning tub 37 and the top cover 36 by connecting the latch 38. Then, the staff puts the screws to be cleaned into the cleaning tub 37. After the screws are put in, the staff connects the top cover 36 and the cleaning tub 37 together by connecting the latch 38.
[0037] Next, the staff will start the electric telescopic cylinder 31 to move, so that the output end connecting rod 34 of the electric telescopic cylinder 31 will be extended. The connecting rod 34 will drive the upper cover 36 and the cleaning tank 37 to enter the ultrasonic cleaner 1 through the connecting sleeve 35. Then, the ultrasonic cleaner can be cleaned through the screws inside the ultrasonic cleaner 1.
[0038] In the above process, after cleaning is completed, the operator controls the electric telescopic cylinder 31 again to retract the output connecting rod 34, and lifts the top cover 36 and cleaning tub 37 upward through the connecting sleeve 35. At this time, the cleaning tub 37 is suspended in the air, and the cleaning liquid inside the cleaning tub 37 will flow out and flow back into the ultrasonic cleaner 1. Then, the operator controls the electric guide rail 32 to move within the square hole 33, driving the electric telescopic cylinder 31 to move together. The electric telescopic cylinder 31 then moves the top cover 36 and cleaning tub 37 together. When the electric guide rail 32 moves to the boundary of the square hole 33, the cleaning tub 37 will be in the center of the drying chamber 5. Then, the operator controls the electric telescopic cylinder 31 to move the top cover 36 and cleaning tub 37 downward, extending them into the drying chamber 5, so that the fan 6 and heating tube 7 dry the screws inside the cleaning tub 37.
[0039] Furthermore, in order to achieve the purpose of driving component 4 to rotate the cleaning tub 37, refer to... Figure 5 and Figure 6The drive assembly 4 includes a stepper motor 41, which is installed on the right side of the drying chamber 5. The output end of the stepper motor 41 is provided with a bevel gear set 42 fixed inside the drying chamber 5. A friction mechanism 43 is provided under the bevel gear set 42. A turntable 44 is provided on the bottom wall of the drying chamber 5.
[0040] Furthermore, the friction mechanism 43 includes a fixed frame 432, which is mounted on the drying oven 5. The inner cavity of the fixed frame 432 is provided with two friction wheels 435. The output end of the bevel gear set 42 is provided with a drive rod 431 mounted on the fixed frame 432. The outer surface of the drive rod 431 and the rotating shaft of the two friction wheels 435 are provided with pulleys 434. The surfaces of the three pulleys 434 are provided with a transmission belt 433.
[0041] Furthermore, the stepper motor 41 transmits power to the drive rod 431 through the bevel gear set 42, so that the drive rod 431 drives the two friction wheels 435 to rotate through the three pulleys 434 and the transmission belt 433.
[0042] In the above description, after the washing tub 37 is inserted into the drying chamber 5, it will fall onto the turntable 44. At this time, the washing tub 37 will be in contact with the two friction wheels 435. Then, the operator starts the stepper motor 41 to move it, so that the output end of the electric telescopic cylinder 31 drives the input end of the bevel gear set 42 to rotate through the coupling. Then, the bevel gear set 42 drives the drive rod 431 to rotate through the output end, so that the drive rod 431 drives the central pulley 434 to rotate. At this time, the central pulley 434 drives the pulleys 434 on both sides to rotate through the transmission belt 433, so that the pulleys 434 on both sides transmit power to the two friction wheels 435. Two friction wheels 435 rotate, and because the friction wheels 435 are in contact with the washing tub 37, the friction of the friction wheels 435 will drive the washing tub 37 to rotate, so that the washing tub 37 rotates on the bottom wall of the drying chamber 5 via the turntable 44. When the washing tub 37 is driven by the friction wheels 435, under the action of the upper cover 36 and the limiting ring 39, the upper cover 36 rotates on the surface of the connecting rod 34 via the connecting sleeve 35, so that the upper cover 36 and the washing tub 37 rotate inside the drying chamber 5. Then, the fan 6 and the heating tube 7 blow hot air into the washing tub 37 to dry the screws from all directions.
[0043] It should be noted that the specific installation methods, circuit connection methods, and control methods of the fan 6, heating tube 7, electric telescopic cylinder 31, electric guide rail 32, and stepper motor 41 used in this utility model are all conventional designs, and will not be described in detail in 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.
