The present application claims the priority of Chinese patent application No. 201910216435.2, filed on Mar. 21, 2019, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The application relates to the technical field of casting product cleaning and specifically relates to a double-station cleaning system.
After current some castings are processed and produced, oil stains are often attached to the outer surfaces of the castings and the surface of inner cavities, sundries such as residual sand may also be generally attached to the surfaces of the inner cavities of the castings, and then, the castings are generally required to be cleaned after being processed and produced so that the phenomenon that the quality of the castings is affected by pollutants such as residual sand and the oil stains is avoided. For high-pressure die-casting products such as a transmission, a torque converter and an engine shell, one workpiece is taken and placed by an operating worker at one time in cleaning and feeding processes in a conventional cleaning process, a flushing cycle is started after the workpiece is placed into cleaning equipment, the workpiece is taken out after being flushed, and thus, a working cycle is finished; and then, a new workpiece is placed, and the next cycle is started.
