Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive parts cleaning equipment, and in particular to a cleaning device for automotive wheel hub cap production. Background Technology
[0002] Car wheel hubcaps are mostly made of plastic. During the injection molding process, mold release agents are required, and they are easily contaminated with oil during subsequent handling and storage. If they are not thoroughly cleaned, the residual impurities will seriously affect the adhesion of subsequent spraying or electroplating layers, causing the coating to blister, peel off, or even rust, significantly reducing the product's appearance quality, decorative effect, and long-term durability.
[0003] In existing technologies, wheel hub cover cleaning mostly uses manual immersion or fixed basket cleaning machines, which require manual loading, unloading and turning, resulting in low automation, high labor intensity and poor cleaning efficiency. Moreover, since the density of plastic wheel hub covers is less than that of water, they tend to float on the liquid surface, making it difficult to achieve stable immersion, which leads to uneven cleaning and cannot meet the actual needs of mass production and high consistency of automotive parts. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning device for automobile wheel hubcap production, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the difficulty in effectively immersing plastic wheel hubcaps due to buoyancy and the low degree of automation in existing cleaning methods.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cleaning device for automobile wheel hubcap production, comprising a cleaning tank, a pushing device, an immersion component, and a discharge component. The pushing device is used to push the automobile wheel hubcap body poured into the cleaning tank toward the immersion component. The cleaning tank contains cleaning liquid, and the cleaning tank is also provided with an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. The outlet pipe is located in the upper area of the inlet pipe. The discharge component includes a conveyor belt rotating in the cleaning tank and a first motor installed on the cleaning tank. One end of the conveyor belt is immersed in the cleaning liquid. The first motor is used to drive the conveyor belt to rotate. A return plate is provided below the conveyor belt, and the return plate is used to guide the cleaning liquid carried out by the conveyor belt back into the cleaning tank.
[0006] According to the preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the immersion washing assembly includes mounting plates welded to both sides of the cleaning tank, an immersion washing wheel rotatably connected between the two mounting plates, the immersion washing wheel being used to press the car wheel hub cover body into the cleaning liquid, and a second motor for driving the immersion washing wheel to rotate is mounted on the mounting plate.
[0007] Based on the preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the immersion wheel includes two circular plates and a circular rod arranged in a ring between the two circular plates. The circular rod is provided with a protruding post, which is used to drive the automobile wheel hub cover body to move in the cleaning fluid.
[0008] In the preferred embodiment of this technical solution, rubber dots are adhered to the protruding post, which are used to increase the friction with the body of the car wheel hub cover.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this technical solution, several intercepting bars are welded between the round rods. These intercepting bars are used to prevent the body of the car wheel hub cover from entering the inner side of the immersion wheel.
[0010] Based on the preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the pushing device includes a prism cylinder that rotates in a cleaning tank. The prism cylinder has several air outlets and rotating shafts at both ends. One of the rotating shafts has an air inlet. A rubber pad is attached to the rotating shaft with the air inlet. An installation frame is installed on the cleaning tank. An air supply pipe is installed on the installation frame. The air supply pipe passes through the air inlet and enters the prism cylinder. The rubber pad is in interference contact with the outer wall of the air supply pipe.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this technical solution, another rotating shaft is provided with several blades, and a nozzle is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning tank to blow air onto the blades.

Detailed Implementation
[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides an embodiment of a car wheel hub cover production and cleaning device, including a cleaning tank 1, a pushing device 3, an immersion assembly 2, and a discharge assembly 4. The pushing device 3 pushes the car wheel hub cover body poured into the cleaning tank 1 toward the immersion assembly 2. The cleaning tank 1 contains cleaning liquid and is also equipped with an inlet pipe and an outlet pipe. The outlet pipe is located above the inlet pipe. The discharge assembly 4 includes a conveyor belt 41 rotating inside the cleaning tank 1 and a first motor 43 mounted on the cleaning tank 1. One end of the conveyor belt 41 is immersed in the cleaning liquid. The first motor 43 drives the conveyor belt 41 to rotate. A return plate 42 is provided below the conveyor belt 41 to redirect the cleaning liquid carried out by the conveyor belt 41 back into the cleaning tank 1. This overall structure integrates cleaning, conveying, and liquid recovery, reducing manual intervention and improving cleaning efficiency. Simultaneously, the high-level outlet pipe and low-level inlet pipe facilitate the timely discharge of oil stains from the upper layer of the cleaning liquid, ensuring cleaning quality.
[0019] Please see Figure 1-6 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: the immersion assembly 2 includes mounting plates 21 welded to both sides of the cleaning tank 1, and an immersion wheel is rotatably connected between the two mounting plates 21. The immersion wheel is used to press the car wheel hub cover body into the cleaning solution. A second motor 22 for driving the immersion wheel to rotate is installed on the mounting plates 21. By actively rotating the immersion wheel and pressing down the floating plastic wheel hub cover, the problem of the car wheel hub cover body floating due to its low density is effectively overcome, ensuring that the workpiece is fully immersed in the cleaning solution.
[0020] Please see Figure 1-4A further embodiment of this solution is as follows: the immersion washing wheel includes two circular plates 23 and circular rods 24 arranged in a ring between the two circular plates 23. The circular rods 24 are provided with protruding posts 26, which are used to drive the wheel hub cover body to move within the cleaning fluid. This open-type immersion washing wheel structure not only reduces the overall weight but also allows the wheel hub cover to be moved submerged in the liquid during rotation using the protruding posts 26.
[0021] Please see Figure 2-5 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: rubber dots 261 are adhered to the protrusion 26. The rubber dots 261 are used to increase the friction with the body of the car wheel hub cover. The rubber dots 261 provide flexible contact, which increases friction and reduces slippage while avoiding damage to the surface of the plastic wheel hub cover from hard impacts.
[0022] Please see Figure 2-4 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: a plurality of intercepting rods 25 are welded between the round rods 24. The intercepting rods 25 are used to prevent the wheel hub cover body from entering the inside of the immersion wheel. The intercepting rods 25 form a physical barrier, effectively preventing the lightweight wheel hub cover from being rolled into the immersion wheel and improving operational stability.
[0023] Please see Figure 2-5 A further embodiment of this solution is as follows: The pushing device 3 includes a prism cylinder 31 that rotates within the cleaning tank 1. The prism cylinder 31 has several air outlets 311, and two ends of the prism cylinder 31 have rotating shafts 321. One of the rotating shafts 321 has an air inlet 323, and a rubber pad 33 is attached to the rotating shaft 321 with the air inlet 323. A mounting frame 34 is installed on the cleaning tank 1, and an air supply pipe 341 is provided on the mounting frame 34. The air supply pipe 341 passes through the air inlet 323 and enters the prism cylinder 31. The rubber pad 33 is in interference contact with the outer wall of the air supply pipe 341. This pneumatic pushing structure utilizes the rotating prism cylinder 31 in conjunction with directional air jets to push the hub cover towards the immersion assembly 2.
[0024] Please see Figure 3-5 A further solution based on this embodiment is as follows: a plurality of blades 322 are provided on another rotating shaft 321, and a nozzle for blowing air onto the blades 322 is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning pool 1. The blades 322 are driven by external airflow to passively rotate the prism cylinder 31, eliminating the need for an additional motor, simplifying the transmission system, and reducing energy consumption. The rotating prism cylinder 31 drives the air outlet 311 to rotate together, which has the effect of pushing away the car wheel hub cover body.
[0025] For a second embodiment of the pushing device 3, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6A further embodiment of this solution is as follows: the pushing device 3 includes a slide rail 35 mounted on the cleaning tank 1, a slider slidably connected to the slide rail 35, a movable plate 36 mounted on the slider, a push plate 361 provided on the movable plate 36, and a telescopic rod 37 mounted on the cleaning tank 1 for driving the movable plate 36 to move. This linear pusher mechanism has a simple structure and controllable thrust, and the telescopic rod 37 can be an electric cylinder.
[0026] Working principle: This device is used for the first cleaning of the car wheel hub cover body. During use, the feeding device at the previous station places the plastic car wheel hub cover body to be cleaned in the feeding area on one side of the cleaning tank 1. Because its density is less than that of water, it naturally floats on the surface of the cleaning liquid. The pushing device 3 is activated. If the prism cylinder 31 structure is adopted, compressed air enters the interior of the prism cylinder 31 through the air supply pipe 341 and the air inlet 323, and is sprayed out directionally from the air outlet 311. At the same time, the external nozzle blows air onto the blades 322 to drive the prism cylinder 31 to rotate. The airflow and the rotating prism surface gradually push the wheel hub cover body towards the immersion assembly 2. If the slide rail 35 push plate structure is adopted, the telescopic rod 37 pushes the moving plate 36 and the pushing plate 361 along the slide rail 35. The linear motion of track 35 directly pushes the hub cover body towards the immersion wheel. Subsequently, the immersion wheel, driven by the second motor 22, rotates, and the protrusions 26 on it, in conjunction with the rubber dots 261, press down and push the hub cover body, causing it to overcome buoyancy and be fully immersed in the cleaning liquid, thus achieving immersion cleaning. After cleaning, the hub cover body moves with the liquid flow to the discharge component 4 area, and is then carried out of the liquid surface by the conveyor belt 41 immersed in the cleaning liquid. The cleaning liquid dripping during the conveying process is guided back to the cleaning tank 1 by the return plate 42, completing the recycling of the cleaning liquid. At the same time, the liquid outlet pipe at the top of the cleaning tank 1 can periodically discharge the upper waste liquid containing oil, and the liquid inlet pipe at the bottom can replenish fresh cleaning liquid, ensuring a continuously clean cleaning environment.
[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
