Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a gearbox cleaning basket. Background Technology
[0002] Gearboxes, as transmission components, are widely used in various types of equipment. Their complex internal gear structure meshes with each other to transmit power and change speed. However, during prolonged operation, a large amount of oil, iron filings, and other impurities accumulate inside the gearbox. These contaminants not only affect the gearbox's transmission efficiency but may also accelerate the wear of parts and reduce the gearbox's service life. Therefore, regular cleaning and maintenance of the gearbox are necessary.
[0003] In existing technologies, gearboxes are typically disassembled before cleaning. The disassembled gearbox and its various parts are then placed in a cleaning basket, and cleaning is performed using cleaning media or specialized cleaning equipment.
[0004] However, existing cleaning methods involve indiscriminately mixing the gearbox and various parts in the cleaning basket, resulting in a heavy basket that is extremely inconvenient to move after cleaning. Furthermore, during subsequent assembly, workers need to identify and select the necessary parts from the mixed collection, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, the mixed arrangement of parts of different sizes makes it impossible to use targeted cleaning methods for parts of different sizes, materials, and levels of contamination, potentially leading to incomplete cleaning of some parts and affecting the overall cleaning quality and subsequent performance of the gearbox. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a gearbox cleaning basket to solve the technical problem in the prior art where large and small parts are mixed together for cleaning, resulting in poor cleaning effect.
[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A gearbox cleaning basket, comprising:
[0008] The supporting frame includes a supporting base plate and side guardrails, the supporting base plate and the side guardrails together form a supporting area for supporting the gearbox housing, and the supporting area is provided with a first hollow structure for the cleaning medium to pass through;
[0009] The receiving frame is detachably connected to the supporting frame. The receiving frame includes multiple grid structures, which together form a receiving area for receiving the parts of the gearbox. The receiving area is provided with a second hollow structure for the cleaning medium to pass through. The receiving area and the supporting area are spatially independent of each other.
[0010] Preferably, the top of the receiving frame is formed with a pick-and-place opening that communicates with the receiving area.
[0011] Preferably, the accommodating frame is provided with multiple partitions, which divide the accommodating area into multiple independent accommodating sub-areas.
[0012] Preferably, at least a portion of the sidewalls of the accommodating sub-region forms a clearance opening.
[0013] Preferably, the supporting base plate includes longitudinal bars and transverse bars, and a plurality of the longitudinal bars and a plurality of the transverse bars are arranged in an alternating manner to form a rectangular supporting base plate having the first hollow structure.
[0014] Preferably, a side railing is provided around each of the four sides of the supporting base plate. The side railing includes a vertical support rod and a horizontal support rod connecting the vertical support rods. The height of the horizontal support rod at the top of at least one side railing is lower than the height of the horizontal support rods at the top of the remaining side railings.
[0015] Preferably, a hoisting structure is provided on the vertical support rods located at at least the four corners of the supporting base plate.
[0016] Preferably, the receiving frame is disposed in the middle of the supporting base plate, thereby forming an independent bearing area on each of the opposite sides of the receiving frame.
[0017] Preferably, at least a portion of the surface of the supporting frame is covered with a first protective sleeve, and / or at least a portion of the surface of the receiving frame is covered with a second protective sleeve.
[0018] Preferably, the bottom of the load-bearing frame is provided with a support structure, which is used to lift the load-bearing frame so that a clearance space is formed at the bottom of the load-bearing frame.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0020] The gearbox cleaning basket proposed in this utility model features a support area formed by the supporting base plate of the support frame and the side guardrails, specifically designed to support large workpieces such as the gearbox housing. The receiving frame, enclosed by multiple grid structures, is specifically designed to receive smaller workpieces such as gearbox parts. This independent spatial arrangement allows for the effective separation of gearbox housings and parts of varying sizes during cleaning, effectively reducing the problems of mutual obstruction and insufficient contact of the cleaning medium with all surfaces caused by disordered placement of parts in existing technologies. The first hollow structure of the support area and the second hollow structure of the receiving area ensure that the cleaning medium can pass smoothly and thoroughly rinse the workpieces, preventing water accumulation in the support and receiving areas and the potential for rust. Furthermore, since the gearbox housing and gearbox parts are placed in different areas, it facilitates targeted cleaning for workpieces of different sizes and requirements. After cleaning, it also facilitates the sorting and selection of parts by operators, providing convenience for subsequent assembly work. Meanwhile, the detachable design of the housing and the supporting frame allows them to be transported separately, improving handling efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0033] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0034] See Figures 1 to 3 The gearbox cleaning basket provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes a support frame 1 and a receiving frame 2. The support frame 1 includes a supporting base plate 11 and side guardrails 12, which together form a support area 10 for supporting the gearbox. The support area 10 has a first perforated structure 13 for the cleaning medium to pass through. The receiving frame 2 is detachably mounted on the support frame 1 and includes multiple mesh structures 21, which together form a receiving area 20 for accommodating gearbox parts. The receiving area 20 has a second perforated structure 22 for the cleaning medium to pass through. The receiving area 20 and the support area 10 are spatially independent.
[0035] The gearbox cleaning basket proposed in this utility model features a support area 10 formed by the supporting base plate 11 and side guardrails 12 of the support frame 1, specifically designed to support large-sized workpieces such as gearbox housings. The receiving frame 2, with its multiple mesh structures 21 forming a receiving area 20, is specifically designed to receive smaller workpieces such as gearbox parts. This independent spatial arrangement allows for the effective separation of gearbox housings and parts of varying sizes during cleaning, effectively reducing the problems of mutual obstruction and insufficient contact of the cleaning medium with all surfaces caused by disordered placement of all parts in existing technologies. The first hollow structure 13 of the support area 10 and the second hollow structure 22 of the receiving area 20 ensure that the cleaning medium can pass smoothly and thoroughly rinse the workpieces, preventing water accumulation in the support area 10 and receiving area 20, thus avoiding the risk of rust. Furthermore, since the gearbox housing and gearbox components are placed in different areas, it facilitates targeted cleaning for workpieces of different sizes and to meet different requirements. After cleaning, it also makes it easier for operators to sort and pick out parts, facilitating subsequent assembly. Simultaneously, the detachable design of the housing 2 and the supporting frame 1 allows for separate handling, improving transport efficiency.
[0036] The specific structure and working principle of the gearbox cleaning basket (hereinafter referred to as the cleaning basket) will be described in detail below.
[0037] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the gearbox housing and gearbox parts are used as examples only to facilitate understanding of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. In practical applications, the specific types of parts placed in the bearing area 10 and the receiving area 20 are not limited to the above examples. Furthermore, there are no limitations on the specific dimensions of the housing and parts. The fundamental principle for their division is to ensure that large workpieces such as the housing can be stably supported in the bearing area 10 without falling out of the first hollow structure 13, and that small workpieces such as parts can be reliably received in the receiving area 20 without falling out of the second hollow structure 22.
[0038] In this embodiment, the support frame 1 is used to support large workpieces such as gearbox housings, while the housing frame 2 is used to centrally house small parts such as gears and bolts. The two are spatially independent, thereby achieving effective sorting and targeted cleaning of workpieces.
[0039] See Figure 1 and Figure 2The supporting base plate 11 of the load-bearing frame 1 includes longitudinal bars 111 and transverse bars 112. Multiple longitudinal bars 111 and multiple transverse bars 112 intersect each other, thus forming a rectangular supporting base plate 11. Distributed gaps are naturally formed between the longitudinal bars 111 and transverse bars 112; these gaps constitute the first perforated structure 13 through which the cleaning medium passes. This not only ensures that cleaning media such as cleaning fluid or airflow can pass smoothly and effectively rinse the bottom of the tank supported on it, but also reduces the weight of the supporting base plate 11 itself.
[0040] Around the base plate 11, a side railing 12 is provided on each side, forming an open load-bearing area 10 above together with the base plate 11. Each side railing 12 includes several vertical support rods 121 and multiple horizontal support rods 122 connected between the vertical support rods 121. The vertical support rods 121 provide vertical stiffness and overall height of the structure, while the horizontal support rods 122 strengthen the connection and prevent the box from accidentally rolling down.
[0041] Preferably, the height of the horizontal support rod 122 at the top of at least one side guardrail 12 is lower than the height of the horizontal support rods 122 at the top of the other side guardrails 12. This height difference between the horizontal support rods 122 creates a natural, low-profile inlet / outlet, making it easier for operators to push the box into or remove the load-bearing area 10 using the lower horizontal support rods 122 during loading and unloading operations. This reduces operational difficulty and labor intensity, and avoids the laborious lifting and moving of workpieces between guardrails of uniform height.
[0042] To facilitate the handling of the entire cleaning basket, lifting structures 5 are installed on at least the vertical support rods 121 located at the four corners of the supporting base plate 11. The lifting structures 5 can be in the form of welded or bolted lifting rings, lifting lugs, etc. Using cranes, forklifts, or other equipment in conjunction with the lifting structures 5, the load-bearing frame 1 and the workpieces on it can be lifted and transported as a whole.
[0043] In this embodiment, the receiving frame 2 is detachably connected to the aforementioned support frame 1 by means of snaps, pins, etc. The receiving frame 2 itself includes multiple mesh structures 21, which together form a receiving area 20 for accommodating the gearbox parts. The mesh openings of the mesh structures 21 form a second perforated structure 22 for the cleaning medium to pass through, ensuring that the parts can also be thoroughly cleaned.
[0044] In a preferred embodiment, the receiving frame 2 is positioned in the center of the supporting base plate 11. This central layout allows each side of the receiving frame 2 to form an independent load-bearing area 10. Workers can place a gearbox housing on one load-bearing area 10 and another housing or large part on the other, while storing all small parts collectively in the central receiving frame 2. This not only achieves physical isolation between the housing and parts but also, through the receiving frame 2 acting as a separator, creates two independent load-bearing areas 10, allowing different housings to be categorized and placed in their respective areas.
[0045] See Figure 3 To facilitate the placement and removal of parts, the top of the receiving frame 2 has a placement / removal port 23 that communicates with the receiving area 20. Operators can directly place or remove parts through the placement / removal port 23 at the top without flipping or tilting the entire receiving frame 2.
[0046] To enhance the ability to classify and manage parts, the housing 2 is equipped with multiple partitions 24. These partitions 24 are arranged in a crisscross pattern, dividing the housing area 20 into several independent sub-areas 25. Operators can categorize different parts and place them into different sub-areas 25 according to their type, size, or the transmission component they belong to. For example, bolts and washers can be placed in one sub-area 25, while small gears can be placed in another, thus improving the practicality and functionality of the housing 2.
[0047] Furthermore, at least part of the sidewall of the accommodating sub-region 25 forms a clearance opening 26. On the one hand, for some specially shaped parts or parts with shafts, part of their structure can extend out of the clearance opening 26, thereby accommodating long, narrow workpieces that cannot be laid flat in the standard grid space, improving space utilization. On the other hand, when operators need to retrieve items from the accommodating sub-region 25, their fingers can reach into the accommodating sub-region 25 through the clearance opening 26 to retrieve them. Alternatively, when tilting parts, the clearance opening 26 can guide the flow and assist in the falling, preventing parts from getting stuck at the outlet.
[0048] Considering that the gearbox parts to be cleaned may contain precision-machined surfaces or components with high requirements for impact resistance, at least a portion of the surface of the load-bearing frame 1 is covered with a first protective sleeve 3, and / or at least a portion of the surface of the receiving frame 2 is covered with a second protective sleeve. The first protective sleeve 3 and the second protective sleeve may be made of flexible materials such as rubber, nylon, plastic, or elastic polymers.
[0049] When the first protective sleeve 3 is applied to the longitudinal bars 111, transverse bars 112, vertical support bars 121, and horizontal support bars 122 of the supporting frame 1, or when the second protective sleeve is applied to the surfaces of the mesh structure 21 and partitions 24 of the housing frame 2, a soft buffer layer can be effectively formed between the workpiece and the rigid frame of the cleaning basket. This reduces scratches and dents caused by hard collisions between the workpiece and the cleaning basket, better protecting the integrity of the workpiece.
[0050] In this embodiment, a support structure 4 is provided at the bottom of the supporting frame 1. The support structure 4 can be a fixedly welded or detachably connected support leg, pad, or strip base. The function of the support structure 4 is to lift the supporting frame 1, creating a clearance space 40 at the bottom of the supporting frame 1. The clearance space 40 ensures that the cleaning medium can flow freely from below the cleaning basket, preventing the support base plate 11 from directly contacting the ground or the bottom of the cleaning tank, thus avoiding water accumulation and workpiece corrosion. Simultaneously, the clearance space 40 provides clearance for components and structures located at the bottom of the cleaning basket, preventing interference.
[0051] In an optional embodiment, the load-bearing frame 1 can be constructed using square tubing as the main profile. Square tubing, as a common structural profile, features a regular structure and good load-bearing performance, thus meeting the basic load-bearing requirements of the washing basket.
[0052] Since the cleaning basket is in constant contact with various cleaning media, and the working environment contains continuous moisture and chemical liquids, stainless steel is preferably used for the support frame 1 to prevent corrosion and ensure the cleanliness of the workpiece. Stainless steel, with its excellent corrosion resistance, can effectively resist the erosion of the cleaning media, thus ensuring the service life of the cleaning basket.
[0053] However, in actual cleaning operations, under high pressure, the cleaning medium can easily seep into the closed cavity of the square tube through the weld seam, forming liquid residue. This residue not only increases the weight of the supporting frame 1, but also slowly seeps out during subsequent storage or transportation, potentially causing contamination of the work area. Furthermore, long-term stagnant liquid may accelerate localized corrosion of the material, affecting the structural durability.
[0054] Therefore, in this embodiment, stainless steel angle steel is preferably used as the main profile of the load-bearing frame 1. Angle steel has a natural open cross-section characteristic, and its structure itself does not form a closed cavity, thereby effectively reducing the risk of liquid accumulation inside the profile. During the cleaning process, the medium in contact with the angle steel can be quickly drained away, effectively preventing liquid retention. This not only maintains the lightweight of the load-bearing frame 1, but also effectively improves the overall corrosion resistance of the load-bearing frame 1.
[0055] It should be noted that the selection of stainless steel angle steel in this embodiment is a preferred option. If hollow profiles such as square tubes are still selected based on specific load-bearing requirements, a series of drainage holes can be provided on the lower surface of the square tube, or a grid design can be adopted to ensure that the liquid accumulated inside the square tube can be drained in a timely manner. The specific material and profile of the load-bearing frame 1 are not limited here.
[0056] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
