[0024] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0025] Combination Figure 1-8 As shown, the mattress cleaning system 100 comprises a waiting room 110, a cleaning room 120, a rinsing room 130, a pre-drying room 140, a drying room 150, and a storage room 160, each of which is provided with an openable and closable door body 101, which is driven by a vertical cylinder 102. The mattress 200 to be cleaned is sequentially conveyed through: a feeding conveyor belt 111 carrying the mattress 200 in the waiting room 110, a reciprocating conveyor belt 121 provided in the cleaning room 120, a rinsing conveyor belt 131 provided in the rinsing room 130, a pre-drying conveyor belt 141 provided in the pre-drying room 140, a drying conveyor belt 151 provided in the drying room 150, and a plurality of conveyor rollers 161 provided side by side in the storage room 160.
[0026] In this technical solution, each chamber is separated by a door body, and then the mattress is transported to the corresponding chamber in turn by a conveyor belt, and goes through the operations of waiting, cleaning (with detergent), rinsing (squeezing out + rinsing off the detergent), pre-drying, drying, and storage in sequence to achieve the final cleaning + drying process of the mattress, allowing dirty mattresses to go in and clean mattresses to go out; the system is fully automatically operated internally, and manual cleaning is achieved.
[0027] A mattress cleaning structure is arranged in the cleaning chamber 120, including two identical cleaning components arranged in sequence, each cleaning component includes a reciprocating conveyor belt 121 carrying a mattress 200, a first brush roller 122 for cleaning the top surface of the mattress 200, a second brush roller 123 for cleaning the front end surface of the mattress 200, and a third brush roller 124 for cleaning the two side end surfaces of the mattress 200. The reciprocating conveyor belt 121 reciprocates the mattress 200 along the length direction of the mattress 200, and a plurality of spray pipes 125 facing the mattress 200 are evenly arranged above the mattress 200. A flipping component is arranged between two adjacent cleaning components, and the flipping component flips the mattress 200.
[0028] In this technical solution, the mattress is scrubbed in the cleaning room. When scrubbing, a diluent containing detergent is sprayed from the spray pipe as needed. The mattress is reciprocated by the reciprocating conveyor belt, so that the first brush roller on the top surface scrubs the top surface of the mattress, the second brush roller scrubs the front end surface of the mattress, and two pairs of third brush rollers are provided to scrub the side end surfaces respectively. The third brush roller does not move when scrubbing, and the mattress reciprocates to scrub the bottom of the bed; in this way, except for the bottom surface and the rear end surface, the other end surfaces have been scrubbed. The flip assembly turns the mattress over and enters the second cleaning assembly. At this time, the uncleaned bottom surface of the mattress becomes the top surface and is then cleaned, and the rear end surface becomes the front end surface for cleaning, and the two side end surfaces are scrubbed one more time. All six surfaces of the mattress are cleaned.
[0029] Furthermore, a height difference is formed between the two cleaning components. The flipping component includes a rotating shaft 126 arranged along the width direction of the mattress 200 and a flipping box 127 fixed to one side of the rotating shaft 126. The rotating shaft 126 drives the flipping box 127 to flip. The flipping box 127 forms a flipping cavity 128 with an opening on one side. The openings of the flipping cavity 128 are respectively connected to the reciprocating conveyor belts 121 of the two cleaning components.
[0030] In this technical solution, the mattress first enters the turning chamber and then rotates counterclockwise so that the opening of the turning chamber faces upward to prevent the mattress from falling. After turning over, the opening is located exactly on the reciprocating conveyor belt of the second cleaning component.
[0031] Furthermore, a plurality of feeding rollers 129 are arranged on the top surface and the bottom surface of the turning chamber 128 , respectively, and the feeding rollers 129 extend along the width direction of the mattress 200 .
[0032] In this technical solution, after the turning over is completed, the mattress is transported to the second reciprocating conveyor belt by driving the conveying roller 129.
[0033] Furthermore, the first brush roller 122 and the second brush roller 123 rotate in opposite directions.
[0034] In this technical solution, if the rotation is the same, when the mattress is forward, it is easy to push the mattress further out, and if the direction is opposite, the mattress is relatively stable.
[0035] Furthermore, the first brush roller 122 and the second brush roller 123 both extend along the width direction of the mattress 200 , and the third brush roller 124 extends along the thickness direction of the mattress 200 .
[0036] In this technical solution, since the mattress reciprocates, the length of the first brush roller and the second brush roller only needs to be wider than the width of the mattress; and the length of the third brush roller only needs to be greater than the thickness of the mattress to achieve brushing.
[0037] Furthermore, the first brush roller 122 and the second brush roller 123 are installed to be vertically movable, and the two third brush rollers 124 are installed to be movable along the width direction of the mattress 200 .
[0038] In this technical solution, since the thickness and size of mattresses are different, the brush rollers need to adapt to them, so the brush rollers are generally installed movably to fit the surface of the mattress. The first and second brush rollers only need to be installed on a slider that moves up and down, and the sensor detects the contact with the mattress and starts brushing; the third brush roller washes the two side end surfaces of the bottom of the bed. If the width of the mattress becomes smaller, the third brush rollers on both sides need to be moved closer to each other. Figure 8 The brush roller is installed on the slider, and the slider is installed on the slide rod to achieve movement.
[0039] Furthermore, two first brush rollers 122 are disposed at the front and rear, and two third brush rollers 124 are disposed at both ends of the mattress 200 respectively.
[0040] In this technical solution, two first brush rollers are provided, one in front and one in the back, and two on each side of the third brush roller, so that the reciprocating distance of the mattress can be reduced, which can be reduced by half, and the length of the device can be reduced. Correspondingly, three or more can also be designed to further shorten the length of the device, which should all fall within the scope of this application.
[0041] Furthermore, the flushing chamber 130 is provided with a flushing conveyor belt 131, which carries the mattress 200 to move back and forth, and also includes a squeezing roller 132 for squeezing the mattress 200. A plurality of flushing pipes 133 facing the mattress 200 are evenly arranged above the squeezing roller 132. The squeezing roller 132 extends along the width direction of the mattress 200, and two squeezing rollers 132 are provided. The squeezing rollers 132 are installed to move vertically up and down.
[0042] In this technical solution, after the mattress is cleaned, it needs to be pressed with clean water and squeezed by a squeezing roller to rinse the mattress clean. The squeezing roller needs to move vertically up and down to facilitate the squeezing of the mattress.
[0043] Furthermore, the pre-drying chamber 140 is provided with pre-drying conveyor belts 141 corresponding to the drying conveyor belts 151 one by one, and each pre-drying conveyor belt 141 carries a mattress 200 and conveys it to the corresponding drying conveyor belt 151. All pre-drying conveyor belts 141 are simultaneously installed on a vertically movable bracket 142, and the bracket 142 drives the pre-drying conveyor belts 141 to move vertically, and the pre-drying conveyor belts 141 without mattresses 200 are arranged to receive the mattresses 200 conveyed by the flushing conveyor belt 131.
[0044] In this technical solution, after the mattress is rinsed, it is placed in the pre-drying chamber for pre-drying, and 4 mattresses can be stored in the pre-drying chamber, or more. According to the design requirements, they should all fall within the scope of our company's application. Our company has designed 4 mattresses with a high cost performance. The pre-drying conveyor belts with empty spaces are moved to the openings on the adjacent door bodies through mobile brackets to receive the rinsed mattresses.
[0045] Furthermore, the gas extracted by the drying fan 153 is introduced into the pre-drying chamber 140 .
[0046] In this technical solution, the pre-drying chamber is pre-dried by means of hot air extracted from the drying chamber, thereby improving the utilization rate of energy.
[0047] Furthermore, four drying conveyor belts 151 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom in the drying chamber 150, and each drying conveyor belt 151 carries a mattress 200 on its top surface. A hot dry air outlet 152 is provided at the bottom of the drying chamber 150, and a drying fan 153 is provided at the top. A mattress outlet and a mattress inlet are formed at the front and rear ends of the conveyor belts, respectively.
[0048] In this technical solution, the mattresses are dried by hot dry air from the bottom, and 4 mattresses can be dried at a time. The utilized wind is drawn into the pre-drying chamber through an exhaust fan to reuse the energy.
[0049] Furthermore, two drying chambers 150 are arranged side by side, and an openable and closable door 101 is arranged between two adjacent drying chambers 150 .
[0050] In this technical solution, two drying chambers are set up to ensure that the mattress is dried. At the same time, the hot air after use is also drawn into the pre-drying chamber to save energy.
[0051] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, the elements defined by the sentence "comprise a ..." do not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the elements.
[0052] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present application. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
