Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of feed additive processing technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for feed additive processing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Feed additives refer to small or trace amounts of substances added during feed production, processing, or use. Although the amount used is small, they have a significant effect on enhancing feed nutrition, improving animal health, and improving production performance.
[0003] In the production of feed additives, after a batch of production is completed, the inner wall of the mixing tank processing equipment will be left with a large amount of additive raw materials, intermediate products and adhering impurities. If it is not cleaned in time, it will not only cause cross-contamination between different batches of products, affecting the stability of product quality, but the residual chemicals may also corrode the inner wall of the equipment, shortening the service life of the equipment. At present, most of the cleaning devices for feed additive processing equipment on the market have a fixed structure. The position of the cleaning components in traditional cleaning devices is difficult to adjust according to the internal structure of the equipment, making it difficult to adapt to different sizes and resulting in a large number of cleaning blind spots. This leads to incomplete cleaning of the mixing tank and insufficient practicality. Therefore, it is necessary to redesign a cleaning device for feed additive processing equipment to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a cleaning device for feed additive processing equipment.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A cleaning device for feed additive processing equipment includes a base. A support column is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the base. Two support plates are fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the support column via a bearing plate. Clamping plates are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both support plates via a telescopic mechanism. A first motor is fixedly mounted inside the base. The outer wall of the output shaft of the first motor is connected to the support column via a rotating mechanism. A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base via a mounting frame. The upper surface of the mounting frame has a telescopic opening that mates with the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder. A connecting plate is fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder. The upper surface of the connecting plate is connected by two clamping rods. A cover plate is fixedly connected to the connecting rod. A spray pipe extending through to the upper end face is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the cover plate. Multiple nozzles communicating with the interior are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the spray pipe. A bidirectional screw is rotatably installed on the upper end face of the cover plate through a connecting frame. A second motor connected to the bidirectional screw is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting frame. Two moving blocks are rotatably installed on the outer wall of the bidirectional screw. A limit rod is fixedly installed inside the connecting frame. The limit rod slides through the two moving blocks. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each of the two moving blocks through a connecting mechanism. A cleaning brush is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each of the two connecting plates through an elastic mechanism.
[0007] Preferably, the telescopic mechanism includes an electric actuator fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support plate, and the telescopic end of the electric actuator is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the clamping plate.
[0008] Preferably, the rotating mechanism includes gears fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the support column and the output shaft of the first motor, and the two gears mesh with each other.
[0009] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting rod fixedly installed on the outer wall of the movable block, and the upper surface of the cover plate has a movable opening that cooperates with the connecting rod, and the end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate.
[0010] Preferably, the elastic mechanism includes a spring telescopic rod fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting plate, and the telescopic end of the spring telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning brush.
[0011] Preferably, both clamping plates have V-shaped clamping openings on their inner walls, and anti-slip pads are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both V-shaped clamping openings.
[0012] Preferably, two stabilizing rods are fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the connecting plate, and both stabilizing rods slide through the mounting frame.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0014] 1. By setting up components such as a bidirectional screw, a moving block, and a spring telescopic rod, the bidirectional screw rotates under the drive of the second motor, driving the moving block to move in opposite directions or back directions along the limit rod, thereby enabling the cleaning brush to achieve reciprocating motion in the horizontal direction. At the same time, the elastic deformation capability of the spring telescopic rod can automatically adapt to the tank wall of different inner diameters. When cleaning mixing tanks of different sizes, it can always keep the cleaning brush in close contact with the inner wall of the tank, ensuring uniform and stable cleaning force.
[0015] 2. By setting up components such as electric push rods, clamping plates, and anti-slip pads, the electric push rods can precisely adjust the extension and retraction amount according to the size of the equipment, drive the clamping plates to flexibly adjust the spacing, and achieve stable clamping of mixing tanks of different sizes through the cooperation of V-shaped clamping ports and anti-slip pads.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0022] Reference Figure 1-4A cleaning device for feed additive processing equipment includes a base 1. A support column 2 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the base 1. Two support plates 4 are fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the support column 2 via a bearing plate 3. Clamping plates 6 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both support plates 4 via a telescopic mechanism. A first motor 7 is fixedly mounted inside the base 1. The outer wall of the output shaft of the first motor 7 is connected to the support column 2 via a rotating mechanism. A hydraulic cylinder 10 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the base 1 via a mounting frame 9. A telescopic opening is provided on the upper surface of the mounting frame 9 to cooperate with the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 10. A connecting plate 11 is fixedly mounted on the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 10. The upper surface of the connecting plate 11 is fixedly connected to two connecting rods 12. The device has a cover plate 13, with a spray pipe 14 fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the cover plate 13, extending to the upper end face. Multiple nozzles communicating with the interior are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the spray pipe 14. A bidirectional screw 16 is rotatably installed on the upper end face of the cover plate 13 via a connecting frame 15. A second motor 17 connected to the bidirectional screw 16 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting frame 15. Two moving blocks 19 are threadedly installed on the outer wall of the bidirectional screw 16. A limit rod 18 is fixedly installed inside the connecting frame 15. The limit rod 18 slides through the two moving blocks 19. A connecting plate 21 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each of the two moving blocks 19 via a connecting mechanism. A cleaning brush 23 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each of the two connecting plates 21 via an elastic mechanism.
[0023] The telescopic mechanism includes an electric actuator 5 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the support plate 4, and the telescopic end of the electric actuator 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the clamping plate 6.
[0024] Furthermore, the electric actuator 5 is driven by a servo motor and has a built-in high-precision displacement sensor. The extension distance can be precisely adjusted through the PLC control system, making it compatible with feed additive processing equipment of different diameters and meeting diverse clamping needs.
[0025] The rotating mechanism includes gears 8 that are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the support column 2 and the output shaft of the first motor 7, and the two gears 8 mesh with each other.
[0026] Furthermore, gear 8 is made of high-strength alloy steel and is treated with carburizing and quenching process, with a tooth surface hardness of HRC58-62, which has good wear resistance and fatigue strength.
[0027] The connecting mechanism includes a connecting rod 20 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the movable block 19. The upper end face of the cover plate 13 has a movable opening that cooperates with the connecting rod 20. The end of the connecting rod 20 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the connecting plate 21.
[0028] Furthermore, the connecting rod 20 is made of stainless steel with a mirror-polished surface to reduce the coefficient of friction with the moving opening and ensure smooth and unobstructed movement.
[0029] The elastic mechanism includes a spring telescopic rod 22 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting plate 21, and the telescopic end of the spring telescopic rod 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning brush 23.
[0030] Furthermore, the spring telescopic rod 22 is made of a high-elasticity alloy spring with a specially calibrated elastic coefficient, which can automatically adjust the contact force of the cleaning brush 23 according to the undulations of the inner wall surface of the equipment.
[0031] Both clamping plates 6 have V-shaped clamping openings on their inner walls, and anti-slip pads are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both V-shaped clamping openings.
[0032] Furthermore, the V-shaped clamping opening can fit closely to processing equipment of different shapes, increasing the contact area. The anti-slip pad is made of food-grade silicone material with a fine anti-slip texture on the surface, which not only effectively prevents the equipment from sliding during cleaning, but also meets food safety production standards.
[0033] Two stabilizing rods are fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the connecting plate 11, and both stabilizing rods slide through the mounting frame 9.
[0034] Furthermore, the surface of the stabilizer bar is hard chrome plated, with a hardness of up to HV800, which has excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance. A linear bearing is provided between the stabilizer bar and the mounting frame 9, which can reduce the frictional resistance during the sliding process, so that the connecting plate 11 remains stable during the lifting process, and ensures that the cover plate 13 and the spray pipe 14 are accurately positioned.
[0035] When using this utility model, the mixing tank is placed on the upper surface of the support plate 3. Then, the electric push rods 5 on both sides can extend synchronously, driving the two clamping plates 6 to approach the mixing tank until the V-shaped clamping opening is tightly attached to the outer wall of the mixing tank. The anti-slip pad effectively increases the friction, ensuring that the mixing tank is firmly clamped and preventing shaking or displacement during the cleaning process. When it is necessary to clamp and fix mixing tanks of different sizes, the extension and retraction of the electric push rods 5 can be adjusted to adapt to tanks of different diameters. After the mixing tank is fixed, the hydraulic cylinder 10 is started. Its extension and retraction end drives the connecting plate 11, connecting rod 12 and cover plate 13 to descend smoothly together until the spray pipe 14 is accurately inserted into the appropriate position inside the tank. Then, the spray pipe 14 is connected to the external cleaning liquid supply system. Under the action of the water pump, the cleaning liquid is sprayed into the inner wall, bottom and corners of the mixing tank in a high-pressure mist or columnar shape through multiple nozzles on the spray pipe 14.
[0036] At the same time, the first motor 7 is started, and the gear 8 on its output shaft drives the support column 2 to rotate, thereby causing the bearing plate 3 and the mixing tank to start rotating slowly, ensuring that the cleaning liquid can evenly cover every inner surface of the mixing tank and avoid cleaning blind spots. At this time, the second motor 17 is turned on, and the bidirectional screw 16 starts to rotate. Under the limiting action of the limiting rod 18, the two moving blocks 19 move towards or away from each other along the screw, and drive the connecting plate 21 and the cleaning brush 23 to move in the horizontal direction through the connecting rod 20. The spring telescopic rod 22 has good elastic deformation ability, and the cleaning brush 23 can always maintain effective contact with the inner wall of the tank under the buffering action of the spring telescopic rod 22, and powerfully scrub stubborn additive residues. Moreover, when cleaning mixing tanks of different sizes, the bidirectional thread structure of the bidirectional screw 16, combined with the adaptive elastic adjustment of the spring telescopic rod 22, can automatically match the curvature of the tank wall of different inner diameters.
[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
