Abstract

The present application discloses an automatic powder cleaning process and device for wheel bolt holes. The device comprises a vacuum pump, a steady pressure tank, a powder cleaning robot, a powder cleaning gun, a control system and accessories. According to the process and the device, shielded protection is canceled, and powder at the mounting part of a wheel bolt hole is automatically cleaned, so that the process and the device are suitable for various wheel products, and the labor and the labor cost are reduced; the problems that a lot of different types of protective plugs needed for wheels are inconvenient to customize and store and high in cost are avoided.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A device for the automatic powder cleaning process for wheel bolt holes, comprising a vacuum pump, a steady pressure tank, a powder cleaning robot, a powder cleaning gun, a control system and accessories, wherein the steady pressure tank is divided into a vacuum cavity and a powder storage cavity by a filter device, the air outlet of the vacuum cavity is connected with the air suction port of the vacuum pump, a digital pressure gauge is arranged in the vacuum cavity, the vacuum pump and the digital pressure gauge are connected with the control system via weak current lines, the powder suction port of the powder storage cavity is connected with the powder cleaning gun via a hose, the powder cleaning gun is mounted at the top of the powder cleaning robot, the powder cleaning robot is connected with the control system via the weak current lines, an automatic control switch and a manual switch are arranged at the powder suction port, and the automatic control switch is connected with the control system via the weak current lines.

2. The automatic powder cleaning device for wheel bolt holes as described in claim 1 , wherein the steady pressure tank is of a split structure, and two split parts of the steady pressure tank are mounted together via a flange mounting surface.

3. The automatic powder cleaning device for wheel bolt holes as described in claim 1 , wherein the filter device comprises a division plate fixed together with the inner wall of the steady pressure tank and a filter mounted on the division plate.

4. The automatic powder cleaning device for wheel bolt holes as described in claim 1 , wherein the control system comprises a pressure control system communicating with the vacuum pump and the digital pressure gauge, a switch control system communicating with the automatic control switch as well as a powder cleaning program database and a powder cleaning operation control system communicating with the powder cleaning robot.
