Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of art and design technology, specifically to a portable paintbrush cleaner for art and design. Background Technology
[0002] Art and design brushes mainly refer to oil painting brushes and gouache brushes. Brushes are generally made of coarse animal hair or fine fibers, and come in various sizes and varieties. They are mainly used for painting, oil painting, etc. Brushes are mainly used in art schools for painting, oil painting, etc., and include brushes and stiff brushes.
[0003] However, existing art and design brushes suffer from the following problems during use: While these brushes sometimes employ brush tips made of fibers and hairs, which enhance the aesthetics of artwork and have good ink absorption, a significant amount of ink often remains on the brush head after use. During subsequent use, the dried ink may contain impurities, affecting the brush's performance and lifespan. Current methods for cleaning brush tips primarily rely on manual washing, which achieves some cleaning effect, but leaves impurities inside the brush head, making thorough cleaning difficult. Therefore, a corresponding technical solution is needed to address these problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable paintbrush cleaner for art and design, which solves the problem that art and design brushes sometimes use brush tips with fiber and hair ends. Although these brush tips can enhance the aesthetics of artwork and have good ink absorption, a large amount of ink often remains on the brush head after use. When used again, the dried ink may contain a lot of impurities, affecting the brush's performance and lifespan. Existing methods for cleaning brush tips mainly rely on manual cleaning, which can achieve a certain cleaning effect, but impurities remain inside the brush head, making it difficult to thoroughly clean.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a portable paintbrush cleaner for art design, comprising a layered pull-out pencil case, a heated water-filling assembly, a drain tube, and a rotary brush tip cleaning mechanism.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 This invention provides a technical solution: a portable paintbrush cleaner for art design, comprising a layered pull-out pencil case, a heated water-filling assembly, a drain tube, and a rotary brush tip cleaning mechanism. The layered pull-out pencil case includes a case body 1 and a top plate 2 installed on the top of the case body 1. A pull-out groove 3 is provided inside the case body 1, and the rotary brush tip cleaning mechanism is movably inserted into the pull-out groove 3. Several sets of insertion ports 4 are evenly distributed on the top of the top plate 2. The heated water-filling assembly is installed in the upper left corner of the case body 1 and includes a liquid storage container 5, a micro pump 6, a liquid guide tube 7, a heater 8, and a drain tube 9. The liquid storage container 5 is fixed to the side of the case body 1, and the micro pump 6 is installed on one side of the liquid storage container 5. The water inlet of the micro pump 6 is connected to a pipe. The liquid storage container 5 is connected to the water outlet end, which is connected to the heater 8 via the liquid guide pipe 7. The end of the heater 8 is connected to the drain pipe 9. The drain pipe 9 is laid on the top and connected to several sets of drain tubes. Several sets of drain tubes are installed in several sets of sockets 4. The rotary pen tip cleaning mechanism includes a pull-out box 10, a sewage collection container 11, a drive component 12, and a rotary cleaning seat 13. The pull-out box 10 is movably inserted into the pull-out groove 3 and its right end is connected to the sewage collection container 11. The drive component 12 is installed in the pull-out box 10 and is used in conjunction with several sets of rotary cleaning seats 13. The rotary cleaning seats 13 are correspondingly set with the sockets 4. A switch button 14 and an indicator light 15 are provided on the outside of the box body 1.
[0024] Further improvements, such as Figure 2As shown: The heater 8 includes a cylinder 16 and an electric heating wire 17 built into the cylinder 16. The cylinder 16 is fixed on the box 1 and has a drain hole 18 at the end. The electric heating wire 17 is connected to an external power source. By heating the electric heating wire 17, the flowing cleaning fluid can be heated, which facilitates better softening and cleaning of the pen tip.
[0025] Further improvements, such as Figure 3 As shown: The drainage tube includes an annular water pipe 19 and several sets of blades 20 fixed longitudinally below the annular water pipe 19. The several sets of blades 20 are distributed in a ring and have a porous structure on the inner side. This design facilitates the drainage of cleaning fluid down the pen barrel.
[0026] Further improvements, such as Figure 4 As shown: The pull-out box 10 has a flow channel 21 inside. The left end of the flow channel 21 is higher than the right end. The right end of the flow channel 21 is connected to the sewage collection container 11 through a pipe. This design makes it easy to discharge the sewage after cleaning.
[0027] Further improvements, such as Figure 4 As shown: The drive assembly 12 includes a motor 22, a rotating roller 23 and an annular belt 24. The rotating roller 23 is divided into two groups and symmetrically installed at the bottom of the pull-out box 10. The annular belt 24 is fitted between the two groups of rotating rollers 23. The motor 22 is fixed to the bottom of the pull-out box 10 and its power output end is connected to one group of rotating rollers 23. The motor 22 drives the rotating roller 23 to rotate. During the rotation, the rotating roller 23 drives the annular belt 24 to rotate synchronously. The annular belt 24 drives several groups of rotating cleaning seats 13 to perform rotation adjustment.
[0028] Further improvements, such as Figure 4 As shown: the annular belt 24 has a ring-shaped structure and several sets of locking teeth 25 are machined on the inner side.
[0029] Further improvements, such as Figure 5 As shown: The rotary cleaning seat 13 includes a column 26, a cleaning disc 27, and an outer cylinder 28. The column 26 is rotatably disposed in the middle of the cleaning disc 27, and the outer cylinder 28 is fixed on the cleaning disc 27. The outer side of the outer cylinder 28 is machined into a toothed structure and engages with the retaining teeth 25. The surface of the outer cylinder 28 has a porous structure, and several sets of rubber sheets 29 are fixed on the inner side of the outer cylinder 28. This design allows the cleaning disc 27 and the outer cylinder 28 to perform loose cleaning of the outer periphery and the interior of the pen tip, respectively, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0030] Specifically, the cleaning disc 27 has a disc-shaped structure with a raised center. The surface of the cleaning disc 27 is formed with several sets of needles 30. During the rotation of the cleaning disc 27, the needles 30 can be used to loosen the pen tip, making it easier to clean the ink inside the pen tip.
[0031] In use: After the user finishes using the brush, the brush can be inserted into the slot 4, with the lower end entering the rotary cleaning seat 13. Then, the micro pump 6 is turned on by the switch button 14. The micro pump 6 draws the cleaning liquid from the storage container into the heater 8. The electric heating wire 17 heats the flowing cleaning liquid. The heated cleaning liquid enters the guide tube, which guides the warm water downwards along the brush handle. The warm water flows along the brush handle into the rotary brush tip cleaning mechanism. The motor 22 drives the rotating roller 23 to rotate. During the rotation, the rotating roller 23 drives the annular belt 24 to rotate synchronously. The annular belt 24 drives several sets of rotary cleaning seats 13 to rotate and adjust. The cleaning disc 27 and the outer cylinder 28 respectively loosen and clean the outer and inner parts of the brush tip, improving the cleaning effect. The cleaned water flows through the guide channel 21 and the wastewater is discharged, completing the purpose of automatic cleaning of the brush tip.
