Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a cleaning device, and more particularly to a cleaning device for drying drum mold boxes in packaging equipment. Background Technology
[0002] FOCKE-FXS is a high-speed flexible carton packaging machine designed and manufactured by the German company FOCKE. The drying drum of the 725 main unit consists of 24 drying drum molds, as shown in the attached image. Figure 9 As shown, the main functions are to form and dry the tobacco packs and then transport them to the downstream output device. (See attached diagram.) Figure 11 As shown, the cigarette pack moves in the output direction along the inside of the drying drum mold box. The drying drum mold box mainly contacts four surfaces of the cigarette pack: the two sides and the front and back. Figure 12 As shown in the red area, there is still undried glue on one side and the tax stamp area on both sides of the cigarette pack. A small amount may be squeezed out during the pack's movement through the drying mold box, or if the pack is not properly formed, the glue on these three sides may overflow onto the inner surface of the drying mold box. Over time, this will accumulate as glue residue. If this residue is not cleaned promptly, it will cause scratches on the cigarette pack surface due to friction, and in severe cases, it may even damage the pack, posing a quality risk.
[0003] As attached Figure 10 As shown, due to the small opening and long and narrow shape of the drying drum mold box, it is difficult to clean the surface with accumulated glue residue by hand during daily maintenance, resulting in cleaning dead corners. Only by removing the mold box from the drying drum and removing the mold box cover can the glue residue on the inner wall of the mold box be thoroughly cleaned.
[0004] Because the drying drum mold box has a small opening and a long, narrow shape, it is difficult to clean the surface with accumulated glue residue manually during routine maintenance, resulting in cleaning dead zones. Only by removing the mold box from the drying drum and removing the mold box cover can the glue residue on the inner wall of the mold box be thoroughly cleaned. Furthermore, without removing the mold box cover during routine maintenance, there are still cleaning dead zones, posing a potential quality risk to the cigarette packs. The small space inside the drying drum mold box is also inconvenient for cleaning operations, while disassembling the mold box for cleaning is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient, failing to meet daily production needs.
[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to solve the problem of blind spots in cleaning the drying drum mold box, to cover the entire inner surface of the drying drum mold box with cleaning, and to improve the efficiency of daily cleaning and maintenance of the drying drum mold box, thereby increasing the cleaning speed and efficiency.

Detailed Implementation
[0034] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the cleaning device for drying the drum mold box of the packaging equipment includes: a base 1, an adjusting plate 2, a scraper 3, an upper pressure plate 4, a nut 7, a handle 10, a handle seat 11, a first side scraper 13, and a second side scraper 15. The base 1 is rectangular, with an upper groove 6 in the center of its upper end. Two handle mounting holes 8 are opened on one side of the upper groove 6, and a lower groove 9 is opened in the center of its lower end. Two scraper mounting holes 23 are opened at the front and rear ends of the base 1, respectively. The handle 10 is fixed on the handle seat 11. The handle 10 is inverted L-shaped, with one side parallel to the first scraper blade 17 and the second scraper blade 16, and the other side perpendicular to the first scraper blade 17 and the second scraper blade 16, respectively. The handle seat 11 is fixed to the handle mounting holes 8 by two handle screws 12.
[0035] The first side scraper 13 and the second side scraper 15 are rectangular. They are fixed to the scraper mounting holes 23 at the front and rear ends of the base 1 by two scraper screws 14. One side of the first side scraper 13 and the second side scraper 15 are the first scraper blade 17 and the second scraper blade 16, respectively. The upper side of the first side scraper 13 and the second side scraper 15 are the front scraper blade 25 and the rear scraper blade 26, respectively.
[0036] The adjusting plate 2 is installed in the lower groove 9. It is a silicone foam board with elasticity at one end. Two studs 5 are fixed on the scraper 3. The scraper 3 is installed at the lower end of the adjusting plate 2. A part of the scraper 3 is below the lower groove 9. The studs 5 pass through the adjusting plate 2 and from the lower groove 9 into the upper groove 6. The upper pressure plate 4 is installed in the upper groove 6 and passes through the studs 5. The nut 7 is fixed on the studs 5. A shallow longitudinal groove 18 is opened in the center of the bottom end of the scraper 3. Two transverse grooves 19 are opened in the longitudinal direction of the shallow longitudinal groove 18. The transverse edge of the transverse groove 19 is a transverse scraping blade 20.
[0037] A cleaning device for the drying drum mold box of the packaging equipment is placed in the space formed by the drying drum mold box 21 and the cover plate 24. The shallow longitudinal groove 18 on the bottom surface of the scraper 3 cooperates with the boss 22 of the drying drum mold box 21, and the horizontal scraper blade 20 contacts the boss 22. The first scraper blade 17 and the second scraper blade 16 contact the left side wall and the right side wall of the drying drum mold box 21, respectively, and the front scraper blade 25 and the rear scraper blade 26 contact the cover plate 24. The cleaning device for the drying drum mold box of the packaging equipment is pulled along the longitudinal direction of the drying drum mold box 21 by the handle 10. The first scraper blade 17 and the second scraper blade 16 scrape the dirt on the left side wall and the right side wall of the drying drum mold box 21, respectively. The front scraper blade 25 and the rear scraper blade 26 scrape the dirt on the cover plate 24. The horizontal scraper blade 20 scrapes the dirt on the boss 22 of the drying drum mold box 21. The horizontal groove 19 is used to store the scraped dirt.
[0038] The cleaning device for drying the drum mold box of the packaging equipment is a component assembled from multiple parts. The handle 10 is connected to the upper part of the base 1 by two M5 hexagonal socket handle screws 12 and washers. The first scraper 13 and the second scraper 15 on both sides are respectively installed on the two narrow sides of the base 1 by M hexagonal socket scraper screws 14 and washers. The adjusting plate 2 is a silicone foam plate, which is located between the upper pressure plate 4 and the scraper 3, and plays a role in buffering and adjustment. The scraper 3 has two M5 studs 5. The scraper 3 is connected to the upper pressure block 4 by two M5 nuts and washers, and is installed in the lower groove 9 of the base 1.
[0039] The cleaning device for the drying drum mold of the packaging equipment is placed into the mold through the opening of the drying drum mold. The cleaning device is moved inside the drying drum mold by moving the handle 10 to achieve the cleaning effect. The scraper 3 can be adjusted by adjusting the handle nut 7 on the upper pressure block 4, thereby adjusting the friction between the cleaning device and the drying drum mold and adapting to the cleaning needs of drying drum molds of different thicknesses.
[0040] The base 1 of the cleaning device is made of lightweight aluminum alloy LY12 and undergoes surface anodizing treatment to increase wear resistance. The adjustment plate 2 is made of foamed silicone material to achieve buffering and adjustment. The rest of the parts are made of 304 stainless steel and undergo sharp edge blunting and deburring treatment.
[0041] As attached Figure 13 As shown, the cleaning device is placed into the drying drum mold box through the opening. The cleaning device is moved within the drying drum mold box by moving the upper handle to achieve the cleaning effect. The upper adjusting scraper can be adjusted by adjusting the nut on the upper pressure block, thereby adjusting the friction between the cleaning device and the drying drum mold box, and adapting to the cleaning needs of drying drum mold boxes of different thicknesses.
[0042] Those skilled in the art can devise many other modifications and implementations that fall within the scope and spirit of the principles disclosed in this application. More specifically, various variations and improvements can be made to the components and / or layout of the subject matter combination within the scope of this application disclosure, drawings, and claims.
