Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forging press technology, and more specifically, to a cleaning mechanism for a forging press. Background Technology

[0002] The content in this section only provides background information related to this utility model and may not constitute prior art.

[0003] Forging presses are one of the key forming machine tools in the field of metal forming, and are widely used in industries such as automobiles, aerospace, and mold manufacturing. During hot forging, the metal billet comes into contact with air at high temperature, and a hard and highly adhesive oxide scale forms on its surface. Under the impact of forging, part of this oxide scale will break off into fragments, while the other part will adhere firmly to the surface of the forging press due to the high temperature and pressure.

[0004] Currently, cleaning the forging table surface mainly relies on manual labor. Generally, after each or several forging operations, cleaning personnel need to use simple tools such as shovels to remove oxide scale and debris from the table surface.

[0005] However, manual cleaning has many drawbacks. Specifically, while loose debris can be swept away manually, stubborn oxide scale that has adhered tightly to the worktable due to forging pressure requires considerable physical effort from the cleaning personnel to scrape. This not only may not be thorough but also affects the efficiency of continuous forging operations. In addition, when the forging table is hot after forging, manual cleaning poses risks such as burns. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cleaning mechanism for a forging press, so as to overcome at least the above-mentioned technical problems caused by manual cleaning of oxide scale and debris formed after forging.

The terms "first," "second," and similar terms used in this specification and claims do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components.

[0023] An embodiment of this utility model provides a cleaning mechanism 200 for a forging press 100. Figure 1 The schematic diagram illustrates the structure of the forging press 100 and the cleaning mechanism 200 provided in this embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 The schematic diagram illustrates the structure of the cleaning mechanism 200 provided in this embodiment of the present invention.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the forging press 100 may include a forging table 101. The top surface of the forging table 101 serves as a platform for supporting the forging workpiece during forging operations. A forging head 102 is provided above the forging table 101, facing the platform surface. The forging head 102 is adapted to be raised and lowered under the drive of a hydraulic drive mechanism 103, so that the forging press 100 has basic forging operation functions.

[0025] The cleaning mechanism 200 is generally located beside the forging table 101, specifically on one side along the length of the forging table 101. The cleaning mechanism 200 may include a cleaning unit 10 and a linear driver 20.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning unit 10 includes a scraper 11 and a brush 12 arranged sequentially along the length of the countertop. The scraper 11 includes a scraping part 111 that contacts the countertop. The brush 12 includes a brush part 121 that contacts the countertop. The brush part 121 is composed of brush bristles.

[0027] The main function of the scraper 11 is to scrape away most of the oxide scale and debris on the countertop using its scraping part 111, especially the stubborn oxide scale that is tightly stuck to the countertop. The main function of the brush 12 is to clean the area on the countertop that has been scraped by the scraping part 111 using its brush part 121, so as to remove the residual oxide scale and debris on the countertop.

[0028] The linear actuator 20 is fixedly mounted on the side of the forging table 101, and its output end is connected to the cleaning unit 10 to drive the cleaning unit 10 to reciprocate along the length of the table surface. In this embodiment, the linear actuator 20 can be a conventional linear drive device such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric actuator. Preferably, the linear actuator 20 is a low-cost and easy-to-use electric actuator.

[0029] According to an embodiment of this utility model, in the initial state (see...) Figure 1 The cleaning unit 10 is located beside the forging table 101 so that the forging press 100 can drive the forging head 102 to descend via the hydraulic drive mechanism 103, thereby performing the forging operation normally. After the forging operation is completed and the hydraulic drive mechanism 103 drives the forging head 102 to rise away from the forging table 101, if a cleaning operation is required, the linear actuator 20 drives the cleaning unit 10 to move along the length of the table surface from one side of the forging table 101 to the opposite side of the forging table 101. In this process, the scraping part 111 of the scraper 11 first scrapes away most of the oxide scale and debris on the table surface, and pushes the scraped oxide scale and debris towards the edge of the forging table 101. Following the scraper 11, the brush 12 uses its own brush part 121 to clean the area on the table surface scraped by the scraping part 111, in order to remove as much residual oxide scale and debris as possible. The oxide scale and debris cleaned by the brush part 121 also move towards the edge of the forging table 101 under the influence of the brush part 121. Finally, the oxide scale and debris scraped by the scraping part 111 and cleaned by the brush part 121 will fall from the edge of the forging table 101. To facilitate the collection of oxide scale and debris, an open collection container (not shown in the figure) can be arranged in advance on the side of the forging table 101 away from the cleaning mechanism 200, so that the oxide scale and debris falling from the edge of the forging table 101 can directly enter the collection container.

[0030] After a single cleaning operation is completed, the linear driver 20 drives the cleaning unit 10 to reset, thus preparing for the next cleaning operation.

[0031] In this embodiment, a cleaning unit 10 driven by a linear actuator 20 is arranged beside the forging table 101. This cleaning unit 10, which moves along the table surface, can replace manual labor in cleaning the oxide scale and debris formed on the table surface after forging, effectively avoiding the time-consuming, labor-intensive, and high-risk technical problems associated with manual cleaning of oxide scale and debris. Furthermore, by sequentially arranging a scraper 11 and a brush 12 in the cleaning unit 10, a "scrape first, then sweep" cleaning mode can be achieved, which helps to more thoroughly remove stubborn oxide scale, loose debris, and other contaminants from the table surface, effectively improving the cleaning effect.

[0032] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning unit 10 may also include a mounting bracket 13. The output of the linear driver 20 is connected to the mounting bracket 13. Both the scraper 11 and the brush 12 are detachably mounted on the mounting bracket 13.

[0033] The mounting bracket 13 creates an integrated cleaning unit 10, ensuring stability when the scraper 11 and brush 12 move together. Furthermore, both the scraper 11 and brush 12 are designed to be detachable, allowing these vulnerable components to be quickly and individually replaced after wear or damage.

[0034] The scraper 11 can be made detachable not only by means of the method described below.

[0035] Reference Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the scraper 11 extends along the width of the tabletop so that it can cover all areas of the tabletop when it moves.

[0036] The scraper 11 has a first connecting hole 112 extending along the width direction of the table surface. Preferably, the first connecting hole 112 can penetrate the scraper 11 along its length direction. The mounting bracket 13 has a second connecting hole 131 aligned with the first connecting hole 112. The first connecting hole 112 and the second connecting hole 131 are connected by a first fastener 14. Preferably, the first fastener 14 can be a long bolt.

[0037] When installing the scraper 11, first align the first connecting hole 112 on the scraper 11 with the second connecting hole 131 on the mounting bracket 13. Then, pass the long bolt through the aligned first connecting hole 112 and second connecting hole 131. Finally, tighten the lock nut on the long bolt to achieve a reliable connection between the scraper 11 and the mounting bracket 13. This connection method makes the assembly and disassembly of the scraper 11 simple and convenient. Furthermore, by passing the long bolt through the first connecting hole 112 of the scraper 11, it helps prevent the scraper 11 from loosening or deforming when subjected to large scraping resistance, effectively improving the reliability of the connection between the scraper 11 and the mounting bracket 13.

[0038] Correspondingly, the brush plate 12 can be detached in a manner similar to that of the scraper 11.

[0039] Continue to refer to Figures 3 to 5 As shown, the brush plate 12 also extends along the width of the tabletop so that it can cover all areas of the tabletop when it moves.

[0040] The brush plate 12 has a third connecting hole 122 extending along the width direction of the table surface. Preferably, the third connecting hole 122 can penetrate the brush plate 12 along its length direction. The mounting bracket 13 has a fourth connecting hole 132 aligned with the third connecting hole 122. The third connecting hole 122 and the fourth connecting hole 132 are connected by a second fastener 15. Preferably, the second fastener 15 can be a long bolt.

[0041] When installing the brush plate 12, first align the third connecting hole 122 on the brush plate 12 with the fourth connecting hole 132 on the mounting bracket 13. Then, pass the screw of the long bolt through the aligned third connecting hole 122 and fourth connecting hole 132. Finally, tighten the lock nut on the long bolt to achieve a reliable connection between the brush plate 12 and the mounting bracket 13. This connection method makes the assembly and disassembly of the brush plate 12 simple and convenient, and helps to improve the reliability of the connection between the brush plate 12 and the mounting bracket 13.

[0042] Additionally, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the mounting bracket 13 may also be provided with a first mounting groove 133 and a second mounting groove 134 that open downwards. The scraper 11 is embedded and fixed in the first mounting groove 133. The brush 12 is embedded and fixed in the second mounting groove 134.

[0043] The design of the first mounting slot 133 and the second mounting slot 134 facilitates quick positioning and precise installation of the scraper 11 and brush 12, thereby simplifying the installation process of the scraper 11 and brush 12 and improving installation efficiency.

[0044] In some possible embodiments, referring to Figure 5, the scraping part 111 may be arc-shaped as a whole and have a concave arc-shaped working surface. During the cleaning operation, the arc-shaped working surface faces the direction of movement of the scraper 11, that is, towards the area not traversed by the scraping part 11.

[0045] By setting the arc-shaped working surface, a chip collection area is formed, which helps to temporarily contain the scraped oxide scale and debris in the arc-shaped working surface when the scraper 111 is used to scrape off the oxide scale and debris. This helps to increase the amount of oxide scale and debris that the scraper 11 can carry in a single cleaning operation.

[0046] Furthermore, the part of the scraping section 111 that contacts the countertop is blade-shaped, resulting in a line contact between the scraping section 111 and the countertop. This contact method allows the scraping force exerted by the scraping section 111 on the countertop to be concentrated in a very small area, enabling the scraping section 111 to easily scrape away stubborn oxide scale on the countertop like a blade, thereby improving the scraping effect. At the same time, the line contact can better adapt to the micro-unevenness of the countertop, helping to distribute the scraping force evenly on the countertop and minimizing the occurrence of scraping dead corners.

[0047] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 200 may also include a frame 30. A linear drive 20 is fixedly mounted on the top of the frame 30. Furthermore, the frame 30 is provided with casters 40 to enable the frame 30 to move.

[0048] By setting up a flexible movable frame 30 and installing the linear drive 20 on the frame 30, an integrated cleaning mechanism 200 is constructed. This means that the cleaning mechanism 200 does not have to be permanently fixed at a certain forging press 100, but can be flexibly adjusted in position as needed, effectively improving the flexibility of use of the cleaning mechanism 200.

[0049] Furthermore, a handrail 50 can be installed on the frame 30 to allow the operator to hold the handrail 50 and move the entire cleaning mechanism 200.

[0050] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
