Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cleaning technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for a color sorter and a color sorter having the same. Background Technology

[0002] When color sorting materials containing moisture, dust and water can adhere to the glass of the lightbox, affecting the sorting effect. Therefore, frequent cleaning of the lightbox glass is necessary, increasing the frequency of replacing or washing the cleaning cloth. Existing color sorters generally use a glass cleaning structure with a layer of towel cloth sandwiched between inner and outer rectangular steel boxes. This structure has the following disadvantages:

[0003] (1) Each time the towel cloth is replaced, the inner and outer steel boxes need to be disassembled, which is extremely inconvenient to assemble and disassemble and takes a long time.

[0004] (2) Towels are easily worn and can scratch glass, affecting product quality and increasing costs;

[0005] (3) The method of clamping the towel with inner and outer rectangular steel boxes results in a large weight, which increases the design requirements of the cleaning transmission system and reduces the reliability of the cleaning device. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a cleaning device for a color sorter, wherein the cleaning cloth can be easily disassembled or installed.

[0007] The cleaning device for the color sorter proposed in this invention includes: a brush cover, a pressure block, an adhesive cloth, and a cleaning cloth. The pressure block is detachably connected to the brush cover; the adhesive cloth is disposed on the surface of the pressure block, and a portion of the edge of the adhesive cloth is sandwiched between the pressure block and the brush cover; the cleaning cloth is adhered to the adhesive cloth.

[0008] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning device of a color sorter has a cleaning cloth connected to an adhesive cloth by an adhesive bonding method. This allows operators to directly remove the cleaning cloth from the cleaning device without tools when changing the cleaning cloth, making cloth replacement more convenient. Furthermore, the adhesive cloth's bonding reliability decreases after repeated cleaning cloth replacements, requiring timely replacement. The adhesive cloth is fixed to the surface of the pressure block by clamping a portion of its edge between the pressure block and the brush cover. This allows the adhesive cloth to be removed from the cleaning device when the pressure block and brush cover are disassembled. Compared to existing technologies, this invention simplifies the overall structure of the cleaning device, reduces its overall weight, lowers the design requirements of the cleaning drive system, reduces production costs, and improves the reliability of the color sorter.

[0009] Furthermore, the adhesive cloth has a hook side, through which the adhesive cloth is bonded to the cleaning cloth.

[0010] In some embodiments, the pressure block includes: a wide strip and a narrow strip, the narrow strip being formed by protruding from the middle region of one side of the wide strip, the adhesive cloth being disposed on the surface of the wide strip, and the two side edges of the adhesive cloth being located on opposite sides of the narrow strip, the brush cover being fitted onto the narrow strip, and the two sides of the brush cover being abutted against the wide strip to clamp the two side edges of the adhesive cloth.

[0011] In some embodiments, the brush cover is a tube, and a cut is provided on one side of the tube, the cut extending through the length of the tube, the narrow strip fitting into the cut, and the narrow strip being connected to the tube.

[0012] In other embodiments, the cleaning device further includes a brush cover connecting frame, wherein the brush cover is elastically connected to the brush cover connecting frame.

[0013] In some embodiments, the brush cover connecting frame is provided with mating posts on opposite sides of the brush cover; the cleaning device further includes:

[0014] A connecting bracket is used to connect a driving component. The connecting bracket has two mating plates located on opposite sides of the brush cover. Each mating plate is provided with a first slot, and the first slot has a first opening. The mating post is inserted into the first slot through the first opening.

[0015] An adjusting bracket has two adjusting plates located on opposite sides of the brush cover. Each adjusting plate has a second slot with a second opening. The second opening and the first opening form an angle. The mating post is inserted into the second slot through the second opening.

[0016] An adjustable connector is connected between the connecting bracket and the adjusting bracket, and the adjustable connector has a tightened state and a loosened state;

[0017] In the fastened state, the adjustable connector secures the adjusting bracket to the connecting bracket, and on each side of the brush cover, a portion of the adjusting plate blocks the side of the mating post opposite the first opening;

[0018] In the released state, the adjustable connector releases the adjusting bracket from the connecting bracket, so that the mating post disengages sequentially from the second opening and the first opening.

[0019] In some embodiments, the mating post is a cylinder, and the mating posts on both sides are coaxially arranged. In the fastened state, the mating post constitutes the pivot of the brush cover.

[0020] In some embodiments, the connecting bracket further includes a mating connecting plate connected between the two mating plates, and the adjusting bracket further includes an adjusting connecting plate connected between the two adjusting plates. In the fastened state, the adjusting connecting plate is located on the side of the mating connecting plate away from the brush cover, and the adjustable connector is used to fasten and loosen the mating connecting plate and the adjusting connecting plate.

[0021] Furthermore, the adjustable connector includes: an adjusting stud, one end of which is fixed to the mating connecting plate, the adjusting connecting plate having an adjusting through hole, and the other end of which protrudes from the adjusting through hole; and an adjusting nut connected to the other end of the adjusting stud.

[0022] Another object of the present invention is to provide a color sorter that includes the cleaning device of the color sorter in the above embodiments.

[0023] According to embodiments of the present invention, the color sorter allows for quick disassembly or installation of the brush cover via adjustable connectors, making it easier to replace the cleaning cloth and thus improving the working efficiency of the color sorter. When the cleaning cloth in the brush cover is fixed with adhesive fabric, the contact area of ​​the cleaning cloth is increased, making the cleaning cloth installation more secure and easier to replace. This also simplifies the fixing structure of the cleaning cloth, reduces the overall weight of the brush cover, lowers the design requirements of the cleaning drive system, reduces production costs, and improves the reliability of the color sorter.

[0024] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0041] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0042] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "length," "upper," "lower," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention. Furthermore, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0043] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0044] The following is for reference. Figures 1-6 A cleaning apparatus 100 for a color sorter 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning device 100 of the color sorter 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a brush cover 11, a pressure block 12, an adhesive cloth 13, and a cleaning cloth 14. The pressure block 12 is detachably connected to the brush cover 11, the adhesive cloth 13 is disposed on the surface of the pressure block 12, and a portion of the edge of the adhesive cloth 13 is sandwiched between the pressure block 12 and the brush cover 11, and the cleaning cloth 14 is adhered to the adhesive cloth 13.

[0046] The cleaning cloth 14 is fixed by the adhesive cloth 13. Compared with the existing method of fixing the cleaning cloth 14 by a steel box, this increases the contact area of ​​the cleaning cloth 14, making the cleaning cloth 14 more securely installed and preventing slippage or detachment during use. Furthermore, workers can directly remove the cleaning cloth 14 from the cleaning device 100 without tools, making replacement more convenient. This also simplifies the fixing structure of the cleaning cloth 14, reduces the overall weight of the cleaning device 100, lowers the design requirements of the cleaning drive system, reduces production costs, and improves the reliability of the cleaning device 100. After repeated replacements of the cleaning cloth 14, the adhesive reliability of the adhesive cloth 13 decreases, requiring timely replacement. Part of the edge of the adhesive cloth 13 is sandwiched between the pressure block 12 and the brush cover 11. The pressure block 12 and the brush cover 11 are pressed together during connection, thus fixing it to the surface of the pressure block 12. Therefore, when the pressure block 12 and the brush cover 11 are disassembled, the adhesive cloth 13 can be removed from the cleaning device 100. This way, when the adhesive tape 13 ages, only the adhesive tape 13 needs to be replaced without replacing other parts.

[0047] In other embodiments, the adhesive cloth 13 can be glued to the upper surface of the pressure block 12 with an adhesive layer, so that the adhesive cloth 13 is more firmly connected to the pressure block 12, and the adhesive cloth 13 will not loosen or deform when the cleaning cloth or the glass 200 is replaced, thus improving the service life of the adhesive cloth 13.

[0048] In some embodiments, the adhesive cloth 13 is provided with a hook surface, and the adhesive cloth 13 is connected to the cleaning cloth 14 through the hook surface. This can ensure the reliability of the connection between the adhesive cloth 13 and the cleaning cloth 14 and prevent the cleaning cloth 14 from sliding or falling off during use.

[0049] In other embodiments, the adhesive cloth 13 can be Velcro. According to the characteristics of Velcro, Velcro can be bonded to the cleaning cloth 14, and it is easy to disassemble and reuse. It can be reused multiple times, and the production cost of Velcro is low.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the pressure block 12 includes a wide strip 121 and a narrow strip 122. The narrow strip 122 is formed by protruding from the middle area of ​​one side of the wide strip 121. The adhesive cloth 13 is disposed on the surface of the wide strip 121, and the two side edges of the adhesive cloth 13 are located on opposite sides of the narrow strip 122. The brush cover 11 is fitted on the narrow strip 122, and the two sides of the brush cover 11 are close to the wide strip 121 to clamp the two side edges of the adhesive cloth 13, thus ensuring the stability of the adhesive cloth 13 during the operation of the cleaning device 100 of the color sorter 100.

[0051] It should be noted that the color sorter 1000 typically uses a cleaning method that combines a brush cover 11 with a rubber strip. This cleaning method can only clean dust from the surface of the glass 200. However, when processing materials containing water (such as garlic with water), there will be liquid contaminants on the glass 200. In this case, the rubber strip needs to be replaced with a cleaning cloth 14 to better absorb water and clean oil stains. Since the pressure block 12 and the rubber strip are similar in shape and can be interchanged, when replacing the rubber strip with the cleaning cloth 14, it is only necessary to remove the rubber strip and replace it with the pressure block 12, the adhesive cloth 13, and the cleaning cloth 14.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the brush cover 11 is a tube with a slit on one side that extends through the length of the tube. A narrow strip 122 fits into the slit and is connected to the tube by screws 17. Liquid contaminants cleaned by the cleaning device 100 of the color sorter 100 accumulate on the cleaning cloth 14. When too much liquid contaminant accumulates, the cleaning cloth 14 can no longer absorb the liquid contaminant, and the liquid contaminant will flow back onto the glass 200, affecting the color sorting effect of the color sorter 1000. By providing a through slit in the brush cover 11, the accumulation of liquid contaminants on the brush cover 11 and the cleaning cloth 14 can be effectively prevented.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning device 100 further includes a brush cover connecting frame 15, and the brush cover 11 is elastically connected to the brush cover connecting frame 15; for example Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown, the brush cover connecting frame 15 is provided with a fixing hole 152. An elastic element, which can be a spring 16, is provided between the brush cover connecting frame 15 and the brush cover 11. A fixing post 111 is provided on the brush cover 11. The spring 16 is engaged with the fixing post 111. The fixing post 111 passes through the fixing hole 152 and is then engaged with the fixing post 111 by a self-locking nut 18, so that the brush cover 11 is connected to the brush cover connecting frame 15. In this way, the brush cover connecting frame 15 can move along the fixing post 111, thereby preventing the cleaning device 100 from making hard contact with the glass 200 and scratching the glass 200, which would affect the color sorting effect and extend the service life of the glass 200. At the same time, the column 151, as a pivot, cooperates with the spring 16 to make the cleaning cloth 14 have more contact with the glass 200 and provide a better cleaning effect.

[0054] In some other embodiments, the cleaning device 100 of the color sorter 1000 further includes: a connecting bracket 2, an adjusting bracket 3, and an adjustable connector 4. The brush cover connecting bracket 15 has mating posts 151 on opposite sides of the brush cover 11, and the shape and size of the mating posts 151 are not specifically limited here.

[0055] The connecting bracket 2 is used to connect the driving component, which is the power source of the cleaning device 100. When the driving component moves, it drives the entire cleaning device 100 to perform the cleaning action through the connecting bracket 2. For example, the driving component can be a piston. When the piston extends and retracts, it can drive the entire cleaning device 100 to move back and forth to complete the wiping action.

[0056] The connecting bracket 2 has two mating plates 21 located on opposite sides of the brush cover 11. Each mating plate 21 has a first slot 22 with a first opening 221. The mating post 151 is inserted into the first slot 22 through the first opening 221. The adjusting bracket 3 has two adjusting plates 31 located on opposite sides of the brush cover 11. Each adjusting plate 31 has a second slot 32 with a second opening 321. The second opening 321 and the first opening 221 form an angle. The mating post 151 is inserted into the second slot 32 through the second opening 321.

[0057] The adjustable connector 4 is connected between the connecting bracket 2 and the adjusting bracket 3, and the adjustable connector 4 has a tight state and a loose state.

[0058] In the tightened state, the adjustable connector 4 securely connects the adjusting bracket 3 to the connecting bracket 2, thus fixing the adjusting bracket 3 and the connecting bracket 2 relative to each other. Since there is an angle between the second opening 321 and the first opening 221, a portion of the adjusting plate 31 on each side of the brush cover 11 blocks the side of the mating post 151 directly opposite the first opening 221. Thus, the mating post 151 on each side cannot slide out of the first slot 22 from the first opening 221, and is instead stuck within the first slot 22. Because the two mating plates 21 are located on opposite sides of the brush cover 11, it can be said that the brush cover 11 is sandwiched between the two mating plates 21, thereby connecting the brush cover 11 to the connecting bracket 2.

[0059] When the adjustable connector 4 is in the tightened state, the mating post 151 may be completely locked by the mating plate 21 and the adjusting plate 31, at which point the brush cover 11 is completely fixed relative to the connecting bracket 2. Alternatively, the mating post 151 may not be completely locked by the mating plate 21 and the adjusting plate 31; for example, when the mating posts 151 on both sides are coaxial cylinders, the brush cover 11 can still rotate relative to the connecting bracket 2. In another design, when the adjustable connector 4 is in the tightened state, although the mating posts 151 on both sides cannot disengage from the first slot 22, there is still some room for movement within the first slot 22. When the adjustable connector 4 is in the tightened state but the mating post 151 can still move, the brush cover 11 has a certain self-adjusting capability relative to the connecting bracket 2. When the connecting bracket 2 drives the brush cover 11 to perform a cleaning action, the cleaning device 100 can adjust its posture according to its own stress, avoiding damage due to excessive local stress.

[0060] In the released state, the adjustable connector 4 releases the adjusting bracket 3 from the connecting bracket 2, allowing the mating column 151 to sequentially disengage from the second opening 321 and the first opening 221. In some designs, when the adjusting bracket 3 is released from the connecting bracket 2, the adjusting bracket 3 can move a certain distance relative to the connecting bracket 2, but a constraint relationship still exists between the adjusting bracket 3 and the connecting bracket 2 to prevent the adjusting bracket 3 from being lost upon release. In other designs, the adjusting bracket 3 can be detached from the connecting bracket 2.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning device 100 of the color sorter 100 has an adjustable connector 4 that has a tightened state and a loosened state. By switching between the two states of the adjustable connector 4, the brush cover connecting bracket 15, brush cover 11, connecting bracket 2, adjusting bracket 3, and adjustable connector 4 can be quickly disassembled and installed. Specifically, as shown... Figures 1-3As shown, after the mating posts 151 on each side of the brush cover connecting bracket 15 are inserted into the first slot 22 corresponding to the connecting bracket 2 and the second slot 32 corresponding to the adjusting bracket 3, the adjustable connector 4 is adjusted to a tight state. At this time, the adjusting bracket 3 and the connecting bracket 2 are tightly connected through the adjustable connector 4. The first slot 22 and the second slot 32 cooperate to form a closed area, and the mating posts 151 are confined within this closed area, thereby enabling the brush cover connecting bracket 15 and the brush cover 11 to be quickly installed on the connecting bracket 2. Furthermore, when the mating posts 151 are movable within this area, the cleaning device 100 can also adjust its angle relative to the connecting bracket 2 when subjected to force, thereby avoiding excessive local stress and reducing damage. After adjusting the adjustable connector 4 to the loose state, the adjusting bracket 3 and the connecting bracket 2 can be loosened. After the cooperating column 151 is released from the second opening 321 and the first opening 221 in sequence, the brush cover connecting bracket 15 is also separated from the adjusting bracket 3 and the connecting bracket 2. The brush cover connecting bracket 15 and the brush cover 11 can be removed from the color sorter 1000, making it more convenient to replace the cleaning cloth 14.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the mating post 151 is cylindrical, and the mating posts 151 on both sides are coaxially arranged. When the adjustable connector 4 is in the tightened state, the mating post 151 forms the pivot of the brush cover 11. The coaxial arrangement of the cylindrical mating posts 151 allows the brush cover 11 to rotate through the mating posts 151 to adapt to the angle changes of the glass 200 surface, so that the cleaning cloth 14 on the cleaning device 100 can fit more closely to the surface of the glass 200, and clean the surface of the glass 200 more thoroughly.

[0063] In some embodiments, the connecting bracket 2 further includes a connecting plate 23 connected between the two mating plates 21. After the two mating plates 21 are connected by the connecting plate 23, the structural rigidity of the connecting bracket 2 increases at this point, preventing the two mating plates 21 from bending or deforming under stress.

[0064] The adjustment bracket 3 also includes an adjustment connecting plate 33 connected between the two adjustment plates 31. After the two adjustment plates 31 are connected by the adjustment connecting plate 33, the structural rigidity of the adjustment bracket 3 increases at this point, preventing the two adjustment plates 31 from bending or deforming under stress.

[0065] In the tightened state, the adjusting connecting plate 33 is located on the side of the mating connecting plate 23 away from the brush cover connecting frame 15, and the adjustable connecting piece 4 is connected between the mating connecting plate 23 and the adjusting connecting plate 33. That is to say, the connecting bracket 2 can be locked on the back of the brush cover connecting frame 15, and the adjusting bracket 3 can be locked on the back of the connecting bracket 2. The connecting bracket 2 and the adjusting bracket 3 occupy less space, and this arrangement can further improve the structural rigidity and the connection reliability.

[0066] like Figures 2-3As shown, when the cleaning device 100 is working, the connecting bracket 2 is easily deformed due to the driving component driving the cleaning device 100 to move. When the adjusting plate 33 is set on the side of the mating plate 23 away from the brush cover connecting frame 15, the adjusting bracket 3 is in a semi-enclosed state with the connecting bracket 2. When the adjustable connector 4 is tightened, the adjusting bracket 3 and the connecting bracket 2 are in close contact. At this time, the adjusting bracket 3 can strengthen the structure of the connecting bracket 2, prevent the connecting bracket 2 from deforming under stress, and improve the service life of the connecting bracket 2.

[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the adjustable connector 4 includes an adjusting stud 41 and an adjusting nut 42. One end of the adjusting stud 41 is fixed to the mating connecting plate 23. The adjusting connecting plate 23 has an adjusting through hole 34, and the other end of the adjusting stud 41 protrudes from the adjusting through hole 34. The adjusting nut 42 is connected to the other end of the adjusting stud 41. Rotating the adjusting nut 42 can switch the state of the adjustable connector 4. Figure 1 As shown, the adjusting nut 42 can be a wing nut with a self-locking function. The wing nut is easy to rotate, which is more conducive to switching the adjustable connector 4 between the tight and loose states. Moreover, the self-locking function of the wing nut can prevent the wing nut from loosening or falling off, ensuring the stability of the connection between the connecting bracket 2 and the adjusting bracket 3.

[0068] In other embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning device 100 also includes a brush cover connecting bracket 15, which is detachably connected to the brush cover 11. With this configuration, the brush cover connecting bracket 15 is used to connect the connecting bracket 2, and the brush cover 11 is used to fix the adhesive cloth 13 in conjunction with the pressure block 12. Thus, the brush cover 11 and the brush cover connecting bracket 15, which are used to connect to the connecting bracket 2 and to the pressure block 12 respectively, are separated into two independent parts, making processing easier.

[0069] In summary, the cleaning device 100 of the color sorter 100 described above innovatively combines a sticky cloth 13 with a cleaning cloth 14 (such as a multi-layer cloth) with an easily sticky lint-free surface to clean the surface of the glass 200, addressing the situation where the cleaning cloth 14 needs to be frequently replaced when color sorting materials with water on the track. This method makes it easy to replace the cleaning cloth 14, is simple to operate, and improves the efficiency of replacing the cleaning cloth 14.

[0070] This device can reuse the original eraser brush cover 11. When switching to a standard model, only parts other than the brush cover 11 need to be replaced, saving costs and improving installation efficiency. At the same time, the use of wing nuts on the adjusting bracket 3 makes it easy to remove the brush cover connecting bracket 15, brush cover 11, pressure block 12, adhesive cloth 13, etc., making it easy to replace the adhesive cloth 13.

[0071] The structure of a color sorter 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below.

[0072] A color sorter 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a cleaning device 100 as described in the above embodiments. The structure of the cleaning device 100 of the color sorter 1000 has been disclosed in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0073] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the color sorter 1000 allows for quick disassembly or installation of the cleaning device 100 via the adjustable connector 4, making it easier to replace the cleaning cloth 14 and improving the working efficiency of the color sorter 1000. When the cleaning cloth 14 in the cleaning device 100 is fixed by the adhesive cloth 13, the contact fixing area of ​​the cleaning cloth 14 is increased, making the cleaning cloth 14 more securely installed and easier to replace. This also simplifies the fixing structure of the cleaning cloth 14, reduces the overall weight of the cleaning device 100, lowers the design requirements of the cleaning drive system, and reduces production and development costs.
