Description

Volute cleaning equipment

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of automobile accessory processing, in particular to volute cleaning equipment.

Background

The volute is a turbine housing on the automobile turbocharger, and is called as the volute for short. The scroll supercharger is actually an air compressor that increases the amount of intake air by compressing air. The main working principle is that the inertial impulse of the exhaust gas discharged by the engine is utilized to push the turbine in the turbine chamber, the turbine drives the coaxial impeller, and the impeller presses the air sent by the air filter pipeline to make the air enter the cylinder. As the engine speed increases, the exhaust gas discharge speed and turbine speed also increase synchronously, the impeller compresses more air into the cylinder, the pressure and density of the air increases to combust more fuel, and the output power of the engine can be increased by increasing the fuel amount correspondingly and adjusting the engine speed appropriately. Therefore, the turbocharger has an important role in the driving process of the automobile, so that the turbine which is an important component of the turbocharger needs to have good enough quality to bear the inertial impact of the engine exhaust gas and drive the coaxial impeller, and the volute needs to be carefully used in the production and installation processes to prevent foreign matters from entering to influence the normal operation of the turbocharger and avoid scratch and damage to influence the performance of the turbocharger.

In actual production, eight machining processes are needed from the cast blank to the finished product of the volute, and five machining machines are needed to finish the volute. In the prior art, the feeding and discharging mode of the machine tool is manual feeding and discharging, and most factories inevitably cause sundries to be attached to the surface of the volute in the process of producing the volute due to irregular shape of the volute, wherein scrap iron in the production process is a main attachment. When the workpiece is put into a tooling of the next working procedure, residual scrap iron can cause the surface of the workpiece to be cushioned, so that the qualification rate of products is reduced. Therefore, in order to avoid scraping the scroll during subsequent packaging, transferring, mounting, etc., the scroll needs to be cleaned by the manufacturer. The manual feeding and discharging mode solves the problem, namely, after the workpiece is fed, scrap iron on the surface of the workpiece is cleaned up by a manually operated air blowing gun, and then the workpiece is put into a machine tool in the next working procedure in the prior art. The method has the advantages that the method is low in efficiency, time and labor are wasted, and the quality of the scroll in the production batch is disqualified due to insufficient cleaning of the inside of the scroll and residual sundries affecting the use of a turbine due to the shape characteristic of the scroll and the shape non-uniformity of the scroll. Therefore, to realize automatic feeding and discharging of the processing line, when the workpiece is transferred, the bench equipment automatically cleans scrap iron of the workpiece, and the work load of workers is reduced. In another prior art, there is a volute cleaner which adopts automatic cleaning and liberates manpower, for example, the design of publication number CN107962037a, but the volute cleaner is to put the volute side on a volute fixing platform, although the problems of iron filings between a clamp clamping surface and the volute pad injury and the like can be reduced through a side clamp, the side clamping is not suitable for transferring and placing the volute by a manipulator, unnecessary collision is easy to be caused, the clamping stability is poor, and meanwhile, the side clamping mode also causes iron filings to be accumulated in the cleaning process.

In the working environment, the workpiece fixed on the scroll fixing mechanism 4 can be cleaned in all directions under the cleaning action of the cleaning mechanism 3 along with the movement or deflection of the tool platform 41. In actual work, the overturning angle of the tool platform can be preset according to cleaning and workpiece parameters, is generally set to be plus or minus 30 degrees, and can be set in any angle within the range of plus or minus 60 degrees as required. In the embodiment, the fixing mechanism for placing the workpieces such as the scroll case adopts the design of a movable and deflectable tooling platform, plays a role in deflecting and moving the workpieces firmly fixed on the tooling platform, can clean the scroll case workpieces omnidirectionally, and avoids the phenomenon that the workpieces of common automatic cleaning equipment cannot be cleaned in place in the automatic cleaning process. The volute cleaning equipment disclosed by the embodiment is used for fixing and clamping volute workpieces to be cleaned on a horizontally arranged placing platform, so that volute clamping and placing operation of an automatic mechanical arm are facilitated, the problem that the volute workpieces to be cleaned are placed horizontally in a certain angle range, the workpiece is clamped and placed conveniently, the traditional volute cleaning equipment is similar to a workpiece clamping mode of a machine tool, the volute side is clamped to a laterally arranged fixing platform, the volute is driven to rotate along a lateral transverse shaft in the cleaning process to clean all parts, the residual scrap iron and cleaning liquid in the volute inner area are not discharged, the laterally clamping requirement on the placing of a mechanical arm is high, and the like is solved.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, a mounting seat 44 is disposed below the tooling platform 41, and is used for carrying the tooling platform 41 and connecting the first moving structure. The mounting base 44 is connected with the second frame 2 and rotatably connected with the tooling platform 41. The deflection mechanism comprises the rotatable connection design, namely a transverse shaft 45 is embedded and fixed below the tooling platform 41, the lengths of the two ends of the transverse shaft 45 exceed the length of the tooling platform 41, so that a part of cylinders at the two ends are exposed outside the tooling platform 41 and are respectively and rotatably connected with the mounting seat 44 through a fixing piece 46, and the transverse shaft can drive the tooling platform 41 fixedly connected with the transverse shaft to rotate in the rotating process; the tooling platform 41 can also rotate with the straight line where the transverse axis 45 is located as the axis under the action of other external forces. In addition to the swivel connection design employed in this embodiment, in other embodiments, other swivel connection techniques may be employed that may achieve similar results. The aforementioned deflection mechanism further includes a first telescopic driving member 43 for driving the tooling platform 41 to rotate around the line of the transverse axis 45 as an axis. The two ends of the first driving member 43 are respectively connected with the mounting seat 44 and the tooling platform 41, and the tooling platform 41 can be pushed to rotate relative to the mounting seat 44 through telescopic action.

In a specific embodiment, the first driving member 43 is implemented by using an air cylinder, that is, a first air cylinder is installed below the mounting seat 44, one end of the first air cylinder is movably connected with the mounting seat 44, a connecting channel 441 is disposed on the mounting seat 44, and the first air cylinder passes through the connecting channel 441 and connects the other end of the first air cylinder with the tooling platform 41. The connecting channel is a large-area space formed on the mounting seat for the first cylinder to avoid collision with the mounting seat in the working process. When the first cylinder is used for stretching to push the tool platform 41, the tool platform 41 rotates around the axis of the transverse shaft 45, at this time, in order to ensure that the tool platform can effectively rotate, the tool platform 41 and the first cylinder are movably connected, the mounting seat 44 is also movably connected with the first cylinder, the tool platform can be ensured to obtain a larger rotation range under the pushing of the first cylinder, and the cleaning effect of the inner part and the outer part of the scroll workpiece and the non-accumulation residue of cleaning residual liquid in the inner part are ensured.

As shown in fig. 5, in one embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 3 includes a waterproof structure, a gas/liquid purge structure 39, and a first moving structure. Wherein the waterproof structure is located at the periphery of the cleaning mechanism 3, and comprises a cleaning chamber 33 surrounded by a waterproof door 31 and a waterproof plate 32 mounted on the first frame 6. The waterproof door 31 can be opened and closed up and down under the drive of the related driving piece, namely, when the waterproof door is opened, the tooling platform 41 is pushed into the cleaning chamber 33 under the action of the first moving structure, and the waterproof door 31 is closed immediately after the tooling platform enters the cleaning chamber. The gas/liquid purging structure 39 is installed on the upper portion of the cleaning chamber 33 of the first rack 6, so when the tooling platform 41 enters the cleaning chamber 33, the gas/liquid purging structure 39 sprays and cleans the workpiece on the tooling platform 41, and due to the sealing effect of the waterproof door 31 and the waterproof board 32, no matter what angle the workpiece is cleaned, cleaning liquid can be prevented from splashing out of the cleaning chamber to pollute the peripheral working equipment and workplaces. As shown in fig. 6, the first moving structure includes a first sliding rail 34 and a second driving member 35 mounted on the second frame 2, where the second driving member 35 may be disposed at a connection portion between the first frame 6 and the second frame 2, or may be disposed on the first frame 6 or the second frame 2 according to design requirements of actual devices, and in this embodiment, the first moving structure is disposed at an upper end of the second frame 2. The mounting seat 44 is connected with the first sliding rail 34 through a sliding block 36, and the sliding block 36 is fixedly connected with the mounting seat 44 and can drive the mounting seat 44 to slide on the first sliding rail 34. In this embodiment, the second driving member 35 is a cylinder, the cylinder body of the second cylinder is connected to the first frame, and the end of the piston rod of the second cylinder is connected to the slider 36 through a connecting member. The relative distance between the mounting seat 44 and the cleaning chamber 33 in the direction of the slide rail is changed by adopting the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the second cylinder. That is, the sliding block is driven to slide along the first sliding rail by the shrinkage of the piston rod of the second cylinder, and the end part of the piston rod 352 drives the connected mounting seat 44 to stretch and retract under the driving of the second cylinder, so that the mounting seat 44 starts to move under the stretching action of the second cylinder, and the tooling platform 41 above the mounting seat is driven to enter and exit the cleaning chamber 33 of the cleaning mechanism 3. After moving into place, the watertight door of the washing chamber will close and thus open the washing operation. Of course, in other embodiments, the first frame and the second frame may be movably connected, so that the second driving member can drive the second frame to move along the sliding rail, so as to drive the whole cleaning mechanism to move above the volute fixing mechanism for cleaning, and the cleaning effect is basically the same. In some embodiments of the present invention, in some embodiments,

as shown in fig. 7, in addition to the tooling platform 41 being moved, the gas/liquid purge structure 39 is also moved by the drive. The second moving structure is arranged above the cleaning chamber 33 and comprises a second sliding rail 37 arranged on the upper portion of the cleaning chamber 33 and positioned on the first rack 6, and a third driving piece 38 capable of driving the air/liquid purging structure 39 to move along the second sliding rail 37, the air/liquid purging structure 39 can clean different positions of a workpiece front and back through movement on the second sliding rail 37, the workpiece can be sprayed without dead angles through movement front and back, sprayed media are divided into cleaning liquid and air, the cleaning liquid is responsible for cleaning scrap iron on the surface of the workpiece, and the sprayed air is responsible for cleaning floating water on the surface of the workpiece. The tool platform 41 on which the workpiece is located can deflect within a certain angle range, and the gas/liquid purging structure 39 can clean the peripheral multiple angles of the workpiece without leaving any blind area, in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, the gas/liquid purging structure 39 adopts a gas-liquid combined spray header design structure, that is, combines two cleaning modes of gas cleaning and liquid cleaning. Under normal working conditions, cleaning liquid enters from the water inlet 391, gas enters from the air inlet 392, and when a workpiece is cleaned, the cleaning liquid is sprayed from the liquid spray header 393 for cleaning, and the gas spray header 394 is matched for gas spray cleaning, so that scrap iron impurities on the volute workpiece can be effectively cleaned, liquid can be blown off, and the surface of the workpiece is ensured not to be excessively wet. When the gas/liquid purging structure 39 moves along the second sliding rail 37, a limiting piece 371 is further arranged at the tail end of the second sliding rail 37, so that the gas/liquid purging structure 39 is ensured not to slide out of the rail in the moving process. The gas/liquid purging structure further comprises a gas-liquid branching device for dividing the cleaning liquid and the gas path into six paths respectively, wherein the liquid path and the gas path can be independently controlled to be on-off. When the workpiece just enters the cleaning chamber, the spray head sprays cleaning liquid to clean scrap iron of the workpiece, and after the liquid cleaning is finished, the spray head sprays gas to blow off floating water on the surface of the workpiece. The spray header translation cylinder can control the spray header to move back and forth, so that the phenomenon that the workpiece cannot be sprayed in some places is avoided.
