Smart Manufacturing Upgrade! Zhengheng Power’s Self-Developed Robot Workstation Accurately Solves the Challenge of Cleaning Deep Threaded Holes in Engine Cylinder Blocks

Zhengheng Power’s independently developed “Robot Automation Workstation for Blow-Drying Deep Threaded Holes in Engine Cylinder Blocks” has successfully obtained a national utility model patent authorization. This workstation effectively addresses the long-standing industry problem of unstable cleaning quality in deep threaded holes, significantly enhancing production automation levels and product reliability.

Thorough cleaning of deep threaded holes in engine cylinder blocks is crucial for ensuring engine performance. Traditional manual operations using air guns to blow-dry water have inherent defects such as easy missed blowing, repeated blowing, and inconsistent drying levels due to differences in thread hole depth, which have become a bottleneck affecting product quality consistency.

Zhengheng Power’s patented technology innovatively establishes a flexible, precise, and efficient robot automation solution, with core advantages including:
- The industrial robot at the workstation’s core can store multiple blow-dry programs, allowing free selection of corresponding programs based on the specific needs of different engine cylinder block models. Its flexible design automatically adjusts according to the structural characteristics of different cylinder block models, achieving “one machine for multiple uses” and flexibly adapting to diversified production.
- The workstation’s design fully considers differences in thread hole depth. The length of the compressed air tube is strictly designed according to the maximum depth of the thread holes in the engine cylinder block. During blow-dry operations, the robot precisely controls the tube to extend into the holes according to the actual depth of the cylinder block’s thread holes for programmed cleaning, ensuring thorough and consistent cleaning results for thread holes of different depths.

The workstation can stably handle blow-dry operations for thread holes with a diameter of φ6 and above in engine cylinder blocks, meeting the key cleaning needs of mainstream cylinder block manufacturing. All core equipment of the workstation is integrally installed on a stable automated workstation base. This integrated design not only enhances system stability but also significantly simplifies the installation process, enabling rapid relocation and deployment of the entire automated workstation and providing great convenience for production line adjustment and optimization. Moreover, the fully automated and precise process fundamentally eliminates quality risks such as missed blowing, repeated blowing, and uneven drying caused by manual operations, ensuring stable, reliable, and thorough cleaning quality for each deep threaded hole.

This utility patent not only significantly improves the efficiency and consistency of blow-dry operations and ensures cylinder block cleaning quality but also provides strong technical support for customers to adapt to multi-variety production and production line optimization through its flexible and quickly relocatable design, effectively reducing comprehensive costs.
