Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and specifically relates to a coupling cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Couplings (also known as couplings) are key mechanical components that connect the traction motor and gearbox (or other drive shaft) in rail vehicles. They are used to transmit torque and compensate for relative displacement between the two shafts (such as axial, radial, and angular deviations), while also providing buffering, vibration reduction, and interference isolation functions.

[0003] To ensure the normal use of couplings, regular inspection and maintenance are required. The basic inspection and maintenance process is as follows: visual inspection - disassembly - cleaning - inspection - pre-assembly - grease injection - reassembly. In the cleaning step, after disassembling the coupling, the internal structure such as the gear meshing surface and bearing raceway must be thoroughly cleaned, with a focus on removing hardened grease and metal particles. Since the gear meshing surface is not easy to clean, in order to ensure the cleaning effect of the coupling, this step is basically done manually, which makes the cleaning of the coupling time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem of how to improve the cleaning efficiency of couplings in existing technologies, this utility model provides a coupling cleaning device.

[0005] The technical solution adopted in this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A coupling cleaning device, comprising:

[0007] A base is used to mount and support other mechanisms;

[0008] A soaking tank, wherein the soaking tank is filled with grease-cleaning solution;

[0009] A coupling support mechanism is movably disposed within the soaking tank, and the coupling support mechanism is provided with a first liquid passage hole;

[0010] A brushing mechanism, comprising a brush component disposed directly above the coupling support mechanism, for brushing the coupling located on the coupling support mechanism.

[0011] By adopting this technical solution, this utility model provides an automatic device for coarse and fine cleaning of grease on the surface of couplings. The coupling is immersed in the grease cleaning solution in the soaking tank, which softens and dissolves most of the grease. After soaking, the brushing mechanism is activated to remove the remaining grease on the coupling, thus achieving automatic coarse and fine cleaning of the grease on the surface of the coupling. Subsequent cleaning can be completed by rinsing manually or by other means. The automatic cleaning device replaces the difficult and time-consuming coarse cleaning process, which greatly saves manpower and effectively improves the cleaning efficiency of couplings.

[0012] Preferably, the device also includes a temporary storage mechanism disposed around the soaking tank, the temporary storage mechanism comprising an inclined placement plate, the lower end of the placement plate being disposed above the soaking tank.

[0013] After adopting this technical solution, the couplings can be placed on the placement plate after cleaning, allowing the residual grease cleaning solution on the couplings to flow back into the soaking tank along the placement plate. This can prevent the residual grease on the couplings from falling onto the bottom surface during the subsequent transfer of the couplings, which would cause the ground to become slippery and create a safety hazard. It also reduces the consumption of grease cleaning solution.

[0014] Preferably, the placement plate includes an upper plate and a lower plate, a weighing mechanism is provided on the lower plate, the weighing mechanism is connected to the upper plate, and the weighing mechanism is electrically connected to a reminder mechanism.

[0015] After adopting this technical solution, the weighing mechanism can weigh the coupling placed on the placement plate. As the grease cleaning liquid gradually leaves the coupling, the weight of the coupling gradually approaches its own standard weight. At this time, transferring the coupling can ensure that the residual grease cleaning liquid will not drip onto the bottom surface to the greatest extent, which can help the staff accurately determine whether it can be transferred.

[0016] Preferably, the lower plate is provided with a receiving groove, one end of which is located directly above the soaking tank and communicates with the outside. The upper plate is disposed in the receiving groove, and there is a gap between the upper plate and the bottom of the receiving groove. The upper plate is provided with a second liquid passage hole communicating with the receiving groove.

[0017] After adopting this technical solution, since the upper and lower end faces of the coupling are relatively flat and the middle part is hollow, if the upper plate is solid, the grease cleaning fluid flowing down the hollow part in the middle of the coupling cannot be discharged. Therefore, after opening a second fluid passage hole on the upper plate, the grease cleaning fluid in the middle of the coupling can also be quickly separated from the coupling, and the separation of the grease cleaning fluid from the coupling is also accelerated.

[0018] Preferably, the brushing component includes a support cylinder, the outside of which is provided with a first bristle layer, which engages with the meshing surface of the internal gear on the coupling sleeve.

[0019] With this technical solution, the meshing surface of the internal gear on the coupling sleeve can be brushed through the first bristle layer to improve cleaning efficiency.

[0020] Preferably, the bottom of the support cylinder is provided with an upwardly extending groove, and a second bristle layer is provided on the inner wall of the groove, the second bristle layer engaging with the meshing surface of the external gear on the coupling bushing.

[0021] By adopting this technical solution, the second brush bristles, which are set on the support cylinder and engage with the meshing surface of the external gear on the coupling bushing, enable the cleaning of different components of the coupling through the same device, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0022] Preferably, the coupling support mechanism is provided with a coupling sleeve placement area marking structure and a coupling bushing placement area marking structure.

[0023] By adopting this technical solution, the positioning structures of the coupling sleeve and coupling bushing allow operators to clearly know the placement positions of the coupling bushing and coupling bushing, ensuring that they are positioned directly opposite the washing parts. This eliminates the need for repeated adjustments to their positions, thus improving cleaning efficiency.

[0024] Preferably, the coupling support mechanism includes a second moving component and a support plate, the first liquid passage hole is disposed on the support plate, and the support plate is disposed in the soaking tank in a way that allows it to move up and down via the second moving component.

[0025] Preferably, the washing mechanism includes a first movable component connected to the base, and the washing brush is mounted on the base so as to be movable up and down via the first movable component.

[0026] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0027] This invention provides an automatic device for coarse and fine cleaning of grease on the surface of couplings. The coupling is immersed in a grease-cleaning solution in an soaking tank, which softens and dissolves most of the grease. After soaking, a brushing mechanism is activated to remove any remaining grease from the coupling, thus achieving automatic coarse and fine cleaning of the grease on the coupling surface. Subsequent cleaning can be completed by rinsing manually or by other means. The automatic cleaning device replaces the difficult and time-consuming coarse and fine cleaning processes, greatly saving manpower and effectively improving the cleaning efficiency of couplings.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0036] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly used when the utility model product is in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. In addition, the terms "first," "second," and "third," etc., are only used to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0037] The following is combined Figures 1-5 This utility model will be described in detail.

[0038] A coupling cleaning device, comprising:

[0039] Base 1 is used to install and support other mechanisms, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the base 1 is a quadrangular prism structure, and the soaking pool is opened inside it. The size of the soaking pool should be larger than the size of the coupling so that the coupling placed on the coupling can move up and down in the soaking pool.

[0040] The soaking tank is equipped with a grease cleaning solution. In this embodiment, the high-quality cleaning solution is kerosene, which is used to soften and dissolve the grease on the coupling.

[0041] A coupling support mechanism is movably disposed within the soaking tank, and the coupling support mechanism is provided with a first liquid passage hole 3. It should be noted that only the portion of the coupling support mechanism that supports the coupling is located within the soaking tank, while the remaining portion is connected to the base 1. To improve the service life of the device, the portion located within the soaking tank can be made of stainless steel. Several first liquid passage holes 3 are also provided, and these holes 3 are evenly distributed on the portion of the coupling support mechanism located within the soaking tank. By providing the first liquid passage holes 3, the inflow and outflow of the coupling into the grease cleaning solution can be reduced, while also ensuring sufficient contact between the grease cleaning solution and the inner hole of the coupling.

[0042] A brushing mechanism, comprising a brushing component, is disposed directly above the coupling support mechanism. Specifically, the brushing component and the coupling placed on the coupling support mechanism can be disposed opposite to each other, so as to brush the coupling located on the coupling support mechanism through the brushing component.

[0043] It should be noted that this device is mainly used for cleaning the gear meshing surfaces on coupling sleeves and bushings. Since cleaning the gear meshing surfaces is quite difficult, replacing this step with this device can greatly improve work efficiency.

[0044] In one embodiment, a temporary storage mechanism is also included around the soaking tank. This mechanism includes an inclined placement plate, with its lower end positioned above the soaking tank. The inclination angle of the placement plate is approximately 20-45 degrees, preferably 30 degrees. This is because an excessively large inclination angle may cause the coupling to move into the soaking tank under its own weight, affecting subsequent cleaning of the coupling. Conversely, an excessively small inclination angle may result in slow grease cleaning solution return. Therefore, an inclination angle of 20-45 degrees is suitable. The placement plate allows the coupling to be placed after cleaning, enabling residual grease cleaning solution to flow back into the soaking tank. This prevents residual grease from falling onto the bottom surface during subsequent coupling transfer, thus avoiding slippery conditions and potential safety hazards. It also reduces the waste of grease cleaning solution.

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the placement plate includes an upper plate 7 and a lower plate 8. A weighing mechanism 11 is provided on the lower plate 8, and the upper plate 7 is connected to the weighing mechanism 11. The weighing mechanism 11 is electrically connected to an alerting mechanism 15. In this embodiment, the weighing mechanism 11 is a high-precision waterproof electronic scale, which is set on the lower plate 8, while the upper plate 7 is connected to the weighing platform of the high-precision waterproof electronic scale. The upper plate 7 can be pre-tare to facilitate the determination of the coupling's weight. In this embodiment, the high-precision waterproof electronic scale can be electrically connected to an external weight display screen, allowing staff to directly determine whether the coupling and grease cleaning fluid have been sufficiently separated based on the weight displayed on the screen. In other embodiments, to improve convenience, the weighing mechanism 11 can be directly electrically connected to a controller, which is then electrically connected to the alerting mechanism 15. The controller compares the real-time weight obtained by the weighing mechanism 11 with the standard weight of the coupling. When the difference between the actual weight and the standard weight exceeds a threshold, the alerting mechanism 15 is activated to remind the staff to move the coupling. In this embodiment, the alerting mechanism 15 can be an audible and visual alarm.

[0046] In one embodiment, the lower plate 8 is provided with a receiving groove 14, one end of which is located directly above the soaking tank and communicates with the outside. Figure 4 As shown, the upper plate 7 is disposed within the receiving groove 14, and there is a gap between the upper plate 7 and the bottom of the receiving groove 14. The height of the gap is approximately 0.5-2cm, and in this embodiment it is set to 1cm. The gap setting can also improve the permeability of the placement plate, facilitating the rapid separation of grease cleaning liquid. The upper plate 7 is provided with a second liquid passage hole 9 communicating with the receiving groove 14, such as... Figure 1-2As shown, several second liquid passage holes 9 are also provided, and these holes 9 are evenly distributed on the upper plate 7. It should be noted that in another embodiment, when a weighing mechanism 11 is provided, the load-bearing mechanism is located within the gap and connected to an area of ​​the upper plate 7 where no second liquid passage holes 9 are provided (e.g.,...). Figure 5 (As shown).

[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 The washing component shown includes a support cylinder 5, and a first bristle layer 4 is provided on the outside of the support cylinder 5. The first bristle layer 4 cooperates with the meshing surface of the internal gear on the coupling sleeve. Specifically, the first bristle layer 4 is evenly arranged in rows on the side of the support cylinder 5, and the spacing between the rows matches the spacing between two adjacent tooth grooves on the meshing surface of the internal gear on the coupling sleeve, so that each row of bristles can be directly opposite a tooth groove, thereby brushing away the grease in each tooth groove and improving the cleaning effect. The brushing component can rotate and move up and down to brush the tooth groove. Specifically, in one embodiment, the brushing mechanism includes a first moving component 6 connected to the base 1. The brushing component is mounted on the base 1 and can move up and down via the first moving component 6. In this embodiment, the first moving component 6 can be a linear module. The brushing component is connected to the sliding component of the linear module to drive the brushing component to move up and down. This can achieve both contact and separation between the brushing component and the coupling, as well as up and down brushing of the coupling by the brushing component. In order to achieve rotation of the brushing component, a rotary motor can be set between the brushing component and the sliding component of the linear module. The rotary motor drives the brushing component to rotate, thereby achieving rotational brushing of the coupling by the brushing component.

[0048] In one embodiment, the bottom of the support cylinder 5 is provided with an upwardly extending groove 13, and a second bristle layer 12 is provided on the inner wall of the groove 13. The second bristle layer 12 mates with the meshing surface of the external gear on the coupling sleeve. Specifically, the second bristle layer 12, like the first bristle layer 4, is also arranged in rows, and the spacing between the rows matches the spacing between two adjacent tooth grooves on the meshing surface of the external gear on the coupling sleeve, so that each row of bristles is exactly aligned with one tooth groove, thereby brushing away the grease in each tooth groove. By using the second bristles on the support cylinder 5 that mate with the meshing surface of the external gear on the coupling sleeve, the cleaning of different components of the coupling can be achieved using the same device, improving the practicality of the device.

[0049] In one embodiment, the coupling support mechanism is provided with a coupling sleeve placement area marking structure and a coupling bushing placement area marking structure. (Not shown in the figure) These marking structures allow operators to clearly identify the placement positions of the coupling sleeve and coupling bushing, ensuring that they are correctly positioned to face the washing components, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0050] In one embodiment, the coupling support mechanism includes a second moving component 10 and a support plate 2. The first liquid passage 3 is disposed on the support plate 2, and the support plate 2 is movable up and down within the soaking tank via the second moving component 10. Specifically, the second moving component 10 is also a linear module, and the support plate 2 is connected to a sliding member of the linear module. The linear module drives the support plate to move up and down, thereby allowing the coupling placed on the support plate to enter and exit the soaking tank.

[0051] The embodiments described above merely illustrate specific implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are detailed and specific, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the technical solution of this application, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the scope of protection of this application.
