Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valve block cleaning technology, specifically a valve block intelligent cleaning and drying integrated machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing process of hydraulic systems, the valve block, as a core component controlling the direction, pressure, and flow of hydraulic oil, directly affects the operational accuracy and service life of the entire system due to the cleanliness of its surface and internal flow channels. During processing, valve blocks retain impurities such as cutting fluid, metal shavings, and oil. Incomplete cleaning can lead to valve core jamming, seal failure, or even system malfunction. Therefore, cleaning and drying are crucial steps in valve block manufacturing. In the cleaning stage, current technologies often employ unidirectional high-pressure spraying. However, for valve blocks with complex internal flow channels and dense micropore structures, achieving comprehensive and uniform rinsing is difficult, especially removing residual impurities at flow channel corners and blind holes, thus affecting cleaning effectiveness. In the drying stage, common natural air drying methods are inefficient and cannot meet the demands of mass production.
[0003] The existing publicly available technical solution CN210816426U discloses an integrated machine for cleaning and drying empty tanks in valve block production and processing, including a machine body, a reserved slot, and a water supply pipe. A conveyor belt is installed at the upper end of the machine body, and a protective shell is fixedly connected to the back of the upper end of the conveyor belt. A reserved cavity is connected to the outer side of the protective shell, and a water tank shell is installed on the outer side of the reserved cavity. The reserved slot is installed on the inner side of the protective shell, and a high-pressure nozzle is connected to the inner side of the reserved slot. The water supply pipe is wrapped around the outside of the water tank shell, and a suction pipe is connected to the lower end of the water supply pipe. A booster pump is installed at the front end of the suction pipe, and a filter is connected to the right side of the booster pump. This integrated machine for cleaning and drying valve blocks in the production and processing of valve blocks uses pre-reserved slots evenly distributed inside the pre-reserved cavity. High-pressure nozzles can be used to rinse the valve blocks. The high-pressure nozzles are distributed on the front, upper, and back sides of the valve blocks to concentrate and rinse the grease and dust on the surface of the valve blocks and inside the empty slots, ensuring thorough and even cleaning.
[0004] However, existing technical solutions only use air-drying knives to dry the valve block, which is inefficient and leaves residual moisture inside the valve block, making it inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0006] Given that the existing technology only uses an air-drying knife to air-dry the valve block, which is inefficient and leaves residual moisture inside the valve block, making it inconvenient to use.
[0007] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0008] A valve block intelligent cleaning and drying integrated machine includes a cleaning component, a conveying component for transporting valve blocks, and a drying component for drying valve blocks.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0027] 1. In this utility model, when the valve block is moved to be completely submerged in the cleaning liquid, the ultrasonic generator is activated. The ultrasonic generator converts electrical energy into an electrical signal and sends it to the transducer. The transducer converts the electrical signal into mechanical vibration, which drives the cleaning liquid to vibrate and deeply clean the valve block.

[0028] 2. This utility model involves starting an air pump, which delivers gas through the main air supply pipe to the collector, and then into the drying air supply pipe and the pre-cleaning air supply pipe. The gas in the pre-cleaning air supply pipe is ejected through the air jet hole at the lower end of the jet nozzle to pre-clean the moisture on the valve block surface. When the valve block moves to the lower end of the hot air box, the heating pipe inside the hot air box heats the gas delivered to the hot air box through the drying air supply pipe. The heated gas is then ejected onto the valve block surface through several uniform air holes at the lower end of the hot air box to dry it. The air pump draws in the residual heat gas through the waste heat recovery pipe and delivers it back to the hot air box, thus realizing waste heat recovery and reducing the gas heating time.

[0037] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more readily understood, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0038] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0039] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.
[0040] Please see Figures 1-6 This embodiment provides an intelligent valve block cleaning and drying integrated machine, which includes a cleaning component 1, a conveying component 2 for transporting valve blocks, and a drying component 3 for drying valve blocks.
[0041] The cleaning assembly 1 includes a body 101, a protective shell 102 installed on the upper part of the body 101, and a water pump 103 located on the front right side of the body 101.
[0042] The conveying assembly 2 includes a drive roller 202 connected to the inner wall of the machine body 101 via a bearing and a motor 201 connected to one end of the drive roller 202 via a key.
[0043] The drying assembly 3 includes a hot air box 308 fixed to the inner wall of the protective shell 102 and a drying air supply pipe 303 connected to one side of the hot air box 308.
[0044] Specifically, the cleaning assembly 1 also includes a spray head 104 and a filter box 105. The spray head 104 is connected to the upper end of the water pump 103 through a pipe, and the filter box 105 is connected to the rear end of the water pump 103 through a pipe.
[0045] Furthermore, the water pump 103 is started, and the cleaning fluid is drawn to the spray head 104 through the pipeline. The spray head 104 has several uniform water outlet holes at the lower end to pre-clean the surface of the valve block. The cleaning fluid containing impurities is filtered by the filter box 105 and then transported back to the spray head 104 to realize the recycling of the cleaning fluid. The filter box 105 is equipped with a filter screen, which is detachably connected to the filter box 105.
[0046] Specifically, the cleaning assembly 1 also includes an ultrasonic generator 106, a cable 108, and a transducer 107. The ultrasonic generator 106 is located in the middle of the left side of the body 101, the cable 108 is connected to the upper end of the ultrasonic generator 106, and the transducer 107 is connected to the other end of the cable 108.
[0047] Furthermore, the ultrasonic generator 106 converts electrical energy into an electrical signal and transmits it to the transducer 107 via the cable 108. The transducer 107 converts the electrical signal into mechanical vibration, which drives the cleaning fluid to vibrate and perform deep cleaning on the valve block.
[0048] Specifically, the conveying assembly 2 also includes a feeding plate 204, a discharging plate 205, a touch screen 206, and a controller 207. The feeding plate 204 is fixed to the front end of the machine body 101, the discharging plate 205 is fixed to the rear end of the machine body 101, the touch screen 206 is installed on the left side of the protective shell 102, and the controller 207 is connected to the output end of the touch screen 206.
[0049] Furthermore, a temperature sensor is installed below the hot air box 308, and its electrical output terminal is connected to the touch screen 206 to detect the temperature in the drying zone in real time and display it through the touch screen 206. The electrical output terminal of the controller 207 is connected to the motor 201, and the speed of the motor 201 can be set through the touch screen 206, thereby controlling the valve block cleaning and drying time.
[0050] In use, after the valve block is fed into the feeding plate 204, the machine body 101 is pre-filled with cleaning fluid. The depth of the cleaning fluid is between the limiting rod 203 and the transmission roller 202, allowing the valve block to be completely submerged. The water pump 103 is started, and the cleaning fluid is then drawn to the spray head 104 through the pipeline. The spray head 104 has several evenly spaced water outlets at its lower end to pre-clean the surface of the valve block. When the valve block is moved to the point where it is completely submerged in the cleaning fluid, the ultrasonic generator 106 is started. The ultrasonic generator 106 converts electrical energy into an electrical signal and sends it to the transducer 107. Device 107 converts electrical signals into mechanical vibrations, causing the cleaning fluid to vibrate and perform deep cleaning of the valve block. Water pump 103 draws the cleaning fluid into the filter box 105 through the pipeline for filtration and then delivers it to the spray head 104. A temperature sensor is installed below the hot air box 308, and its electrical output terminal is connected to the touch screen 206 to detect the temperature in the drying zone in real time and display it on the touch screen 206. The electrical output terminal of controller 207 is connected to motor 201, and the speed of motor 201 can be set through the touch screen 206, thereby controlling the cleaning and drying time of the valve block.
[0051] In summary, this invention activates the ultrasonic generator 106 when the valve block is fully submerged in the cleaning liquid. The ultrasonic generator 106 converts electrical energy into an electrical signal, which is then transmitted to the transducer 107. The transducer 107 converts the electrical signal into mechanical vibration, causing the cleaning liquid to vibrate and deeply clean the valve block. The water pump 103 draws the cleaning liquid through a pipeline into the filter box 105 for filtration, and then delivers it to the spray head 104. The spray head 104 has several evenly spaced water outlets at its lower end for pre-cleaning the surface of the valve block. This invention also features a temperature sensor located below the hot air box 308, whose electrical output is connected to the touch screen 206 to monitor the temperature in the drying zone in real time and display it on the touch screen 206. The controller 207's electrical output is connected to the motor 201, allowing the motor speed to be set via the touch screen 206, thereby controlling the valve block cleaning and drying time.
[0052] The conveying assembly 2 also includes a belt 208 and a limiting rod 203. The belt 208 is disposed on the surface of the drive roller 202, and a number of uniform small holes are opened on the surface of the belt 208. The limiting rod 203 is disposed at the middle of the upper end of the belt 208.
[0053] Furthermore, the limiting rod 203 restricts the movement trajectory of the belt 208 to ensure that the valve block can be immersed in the cleaning fluid. The limiting rod 203 is fixed to the inner wall of the protective shell 102 by a bearing.
[0054] Specifically, the drying assembly 3 also includes a collector 306 and a pre-cleaning gas supply pipe 304. The collector 306 is connected to the other end of the drying gas supply pipe 303, and the pre-cleaning gas supply pipe 304 is connected to the other end of the collector 306.
[0055] Furthermore, the gas is dispersed through the collector 306 into the pre-cleaning gas supply pipe 304 and the drying gas supply pipe 303.
[0056] Specifically, the drying assembly 3 also includes a jet head 307 and a main air supply pipe 302. The jet head 307 is connected to the end of the pre-cleaning air supply pipe 304, and the main air supply pipe 302 is connected to the lower end of the collector 306.
[0057] Furthermore, the gas is transported to the collector 306 through the main gas pipe 302, and then enters the drying gas pipe 303 and the pre-cleaning gas pipe 304. The gas in the pre-cleaning gas pipe 304 is ejected through the jet hole opened at the lower end of the jet head 307.
[0058] Specifically, the drying assembly 3 also includes an air pump 301 and a waste heat recovery pipe 305. The air pump 301 is connected to the end of the main air supply pipe 302, and the waste heat recovery pipe 305 is connected to the upper end of the air pump 301.
[0059] Furthermore, the air pump 301 draws in the waste heat gas inside through the waste heat recovery pipe 305 and delivers it back to the hot air box 308 to realize waste heat recovery and reduce gas heating time.
[0060] In operation, the motor 201 starts, driving the transmission roller 202 to rotate, which in turn drives the belt 208 to rotate, causing the valve block to move. When the valve block moves below the jet nozzle 307, the air pump 301 is started. The air pump 301 delivers gas through the main air pipe 302 to the collector 306, and then into the drying air pipe 303 and the pre-cleaning air pipe 304. The gas in the pre-cleaning air pipe 304 is ejected through the jet holes at the lower end of the jet nozzle 307 to pre-clean the moisture on the surface of the valve block. When the valve block moves to the lower end of the hot air box 308, the heating pipe inside the hot air box 308 heats the gas delivered to the hot air box 308 by the drying air pipe 303. The heated gas is then ejected through several uniform air holes at the lower end of the hot air box 308 onto the surface of the valve block to heat it. The air pump 301 draws in the residual heat gas through the waste heat recovery pipe 305 and delivers it back to the hot air box 308 to achieve waste heat recovery and reduce gas heating time.
[0061] In summary, this utility model, by activating the air pump 301, delivers gas through the main air supply pipe 302 to the collector 306, and then into the drying air supply pipe 303 and the pre-cleaning air supply pipe 304. The gas in the pre-cleaning air supply pipe 304 is ejected through the jet hole at the lower end of the jet nozzle 307 to pre-clean the moisture on the surface of the valve block. When the valve block moves to the lower end of the hot air box 308, the heating pipe inside the hot air box 308 heats the gas delivered to the hot air box 308 from the drying air supply pipe 303. The heated gas is then ejected through several uniform air holes at the lower end of the hot air box 308 onto the surface of the valve block to heat it. The air pump 301 draws in the residual heat gas through the waste heat recovery pipe 305 and delivers it back to the hot air box 308, thus realizing waste heat recovery and reducing gas heating time.
