Abstract

Disclosed is a wheel cleaning device, comprising a frame, a waste water recovery tank, lifting guide posts, a feeding support plate, a lifting cylinder, a lifting platform, a support plate, an adjusting cylinder, a left slide plate, bolt hole cleaning spray pipes, clamping cylinders, a left clamping slide plate, a central cleaning spray pipe, clamping wheels, left spray pipes, left upper spray pipes, right upper spray pipes, right spray pipes, shafts, a right clamping slide plate, servo motors, clamping guide rails, clamping system support plates, a support, a right slide plate, a gear rack structure and a guide rail. The device can clean aluminum scraps remaining in bolt holes, flange drainage channels and weight reduction pits, meets the requirements of automatic production lines, and has the characteristics of compact structure, flexibility, practicability, stability, high efficiency and the like.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wheel cleaning device, comprising a frame, a waste water recovery tank, lifting guide posts, a feeding support plate, a lifting cylinder, a lifting platform, a support plate, an adjusting cylinder, a left slide plate, bolt hole cleaning spray pipes, clamping cylinders, a left clamping slide plate, a central cleaning spray pipe, clamping wheels, left spray pipes, left upper spray pipes, right upper spray pipes, right spray pipes, shafts, a right clamping slide plate, servo motors, clamping guide rails, clamping system support plates, a support, a right slide plate, a gear rack structure and a guide rail, wherein the support plate, the guide rail and the support are all fixed on the lifting platform, the adjusting cylinder is fixed on the support plate, an output end of the adjusting cylinder is connected with the left slide plate, the left slide plate and the right slide plate are respectively mounted on the guide rail and connected via the gear rack structure, and the two bolt hole cleaning spray pipes are symmetrically mounted on the left and right slide plates and spray high pressure water into bolt holes vertically upward; the central cleaning spray pipe is mounted on the support and located below the center of the wheel, the high pressure water outlet of the central cleaning spray pipe is T-shaped for spraying water right ahead and right back respectively to avoid interfering with the high pressure water sprayed from the bolt hole cleaning spray pipes on the left and right sides, and the central cleaning spray pipe is used for cleaning flange drainage channels and weight reduction pits and sprays high pressure water from the central hole to the outer side of a flange.

2. The wheel cleaning device of claim 1 , wherein when the adjusting cylinder drives the left slide plate to move, the right slide plate moves synchronously with the left slide plate under the action of the gear rack structure, so that the distance between the two bolt hole cleaning spray pipes is adjusted, and the device is configured to clean wheels having different pitch diameters.

3. The wheel cleaning device of claim 1 , wherein the upper part of the frame is herringbone, the left upper spray pipes and the right upper spray pipes are symmetrically mounted at the upper part of the frame and used for cleaning the front side of the wheel, and the left spray pipes and the right spray pipes are symmetrically mounted on the frame and used for cleaning the outer rim of the wheel.
