[0046] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0047] The following is combined Figure 1 , 2Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 provide a detailed description of the structural schematic diagram of the plastic product mold cooling pipe cleaning equipment of the present invention. This equipment comprises a frame 101, a clean water tank 102, a mixed solution tank 103, a cleaning agent tank 104, a cleaning rod handle 105, an air outlet 107, a high-pressure washer 108, a drying fan 109, a support plate 201, a stirrer 202, a water valve 203, a water valve switch 204, a filter screen 205, a drain valve 206, an adjusting sleeve 301, a guide rod 302, a top plate 303, a brush wheel 304, an electrical control switch 305, a movable rod 306, a pipe wiping plate 307, a water pipe 401, an external ball fixing plate 402, a solenoid valve 403, and a spring 404. 1. A lightweight metal casing should be selected for ease of movement. During operation, it can be placed on a level surface. The clear water tank 102 is fixedly connected to the frame of the machine frame 101 using double-ended bolts. The mixed solution tank 103 and the cleaning agent tank 104 are also fixedly connected to the frame of the machine frame 101 using double-ended bolts. A water valve 203 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the clear water tank 102. The water valve 203 is fixedly connected to the mixed solution tank 103. The flow direction of the liquid is controlled by the height difference between the cleaning agent tank 104 and the mixed solution tank 103. The clear water in the clear water tank 102 flows into the mixed solution tank 103 through the water valve 203. The water valve 203 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the cleaning agent tank 104. The flow direction of the cleaning agent is controlled by the height difference between the cleaning agent tank 104 and the mixing solution tank 103. A filter screen 205 is fixedly connected inside the water valve 203, effectively preventing impurities from flowing into the mixing solution tank 103 and subsequently into the high-pressure washer 108, causing unnecessary damage and wear. A water valve switch 204 is movably connected inside the water valve 203. By controlling the opening and closing of the water valve switch 204, the flow rate of the solution inside the clear water tank 102 and the cleaning agent tank 104 can be effectively controlled, achieving simple solution ratio adjustment and ensuring the mixed solution reaches the optimal proportion. A support plate 201 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the mixing solution tank 103, and a stirrer is fixedly connected to the lower end of the support plate 201 to ensure that the clear water and cleaning agent are fully mixed before entering the high-pressure washer 108. 03. A drain valve 206 is fixedly connected to the lower end to drain the remaining solution after the work is completed. A high-pressure washer 108 is fixedly connected inside the frame 101. The output end of the high-pressure washer 108 is fixedly connected to the outlet 106. The outlet 106 is connected to the cooling pipe of the plastic mold to be cleaned through an external water pipe 401 to achieve the cleaning purpose. An external ball fixing plate 402 is fixedly connected to the outside of the water pipe 401. The two sides of the external ball fixing plate 402 are movably connected to the solenoid valve 403. One end of the solenoid valve 403 is fixedly connected to a spring 404. The other end of the spring 404 is fixedly connected to the next solenoid valve 403, so that the solenoid valve 403 is turned on, realizing the bend of the water pipe 401, so that the water pipe 401 flushes the bend of the mold cooling pipe. After flushing, the solenoid valve 403 is closed.Driven by spring 404, the machine returns to its original position. A drying fan is fixedly connected inside the frame 101, and the output end of the drying fan is fixedly connected to the air outlet 107. The air outlet 107 is connected to the cooling pipes of the plastic mold via external piping to achieve the drying purpose.
[0048] The following is combined Figure 8 , 9 This diagram illustrates the structure of the cleaning rod. The cleaning rod consists of a cleaning handle 105, an adjusting sleeve 301, a guide rod 302, a top plate 303, a brush wheel 304, an electric control switch 305, a movable rod 306, and a pipe wiping blade 307. It is used for manual cleaning of remaining scale residue after the initial solution cleaning. The upper end of the cleaning handle 105 is fixed to the guide rod 302 via a threaded connection. The adjusting sleeve 301 is slidably fitted onto the cleaning handle 105. The electric control switch 305 is fixedly connected inside the adjusting sleeve 301. The adjusting sleeve 301 is fixedly connected to the movable rod 306. The upper end of the movable rod 306 rubs against the pipe wiping blade 307. The guide rod 302 is fixedly connected to the top plate 303, the top plate 303 is fixedly connected to the power unit I, and the power unit I is fixedly connected to the brush wheel. After assembly, it can be put into operation. The adjusting sleeve 301 is pushed up and down, which drives the movable rod 306 to move up and down. The pipe wiping plate 307 on the movable rod 306 opens under the restriction of the top plate 303 and can engage with the inner wall of the mold cooling pipe. The electric control switch 305 in the adjusting sleeve 301 is opened and inserted into both sides of the guide rod 302 to fix the position. The pipe wiping plate 307 is inserted into the cooling pipe to clean the pipe and the residual scale is removed by the brush wheel 304.
[0049] Combination Figure 1 , 23.10 describes the overall working process of the machine. Clean water is poured into the clean water tank 102, and cleaning agent is poured into the cleaning agent tank 104. Valve 204 is opened. The mixing solution tank 103 is deeper than both the clean water tank 102 and the cleaning agent tank 104, allowing the solution to flow into the mixing solution tank 103. The flow rate of the water is controlled by adjusting the opening and closing of valve 204 to achieve the optimal mixing ratio. Simultaneously, the filter screen 205 prevents larger particles from entering the mixing solution tank 103 and subsequently the high-pressure washer 108, preventing internal wear and tear, increasing its service life, and reducing unnecessary losses. After the solution enters the mixing solution tank 103, the agitator 202 begins stirring to ensure thorough mixing before the solution enters the high-pressure washer 108. The high-pressure washer 108 then flows through the outlet 106, which is connected to the cooling pipes of the plastic mold to be cleaned via an external water pipe 401 to achieve the cleaning purpose. The water pipe 401 is externally fixed to an external ball-fixing plate 402. The external ball fixing plate 402 is movably connected to the solenoid valve 403 on both sides. The solenoid valve 403 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring 404, and the other end of the spring 404 is fixedly connected to the next solenoid valve 403, so that the solenoid valve 403 is turned on, realizing the bend of the water pipe 401, so that the water pipe 401 flushes the bend of the mold cooling pipe. After the flushing is completed, the solenoid valve 403 closes and returns to its original position under the action of the spring 404. After one round of flushing, manual operation is performed. Hold the cleaning rod handle 105 and move the brush. The portion from wheel 304 to the pipe wiping plate 307 extends into the cooling pipe of the plastic mold, pushing the adjusting sleeve 301. The movable rod 306 moves upward on the guide rod 302. When the pipe wiping plate 307 presses against the top plate 303, the pipe wiping plate 307 opens and presses against the cooling pipe of the plastic mold. The electric control switch 305 is turned on. The pipe wiping plate 307 is made of rubber material to avoid damaging the inner wall of the pipe when it is scraped. At the same time, the power unit I drives the brush wheel 304 to rotate, and performs secondary cleaning of the residual scale inside the pipe. After cleaning multiple pipes, the liquid inside the mixed solution tank 103 is released through the drain valve 206. The water valve 203 on one side of the cleaning agent tank 104 is closed, and clean water from the side of the clean water tank 102 is injected into the mixed solution tank 103. The tank is then rinsed with clean water to remove the cleaning agent residue inside the high-pressure washer 108 and the cooling pipes, thus preventing corrosion of the machine body. After cleaning, the external pipe is connected to the cooling pipe of the plastic mold through the air outlet 107 connected to the drying fan. The drying fan is used to dry the pipes to prevent corrosion and extend their service life.
[0050] The high-pressure washer 108 utilizes existing cleaning equipment that employs high-speed, high-pressure water-air mixing technology. High-compressed air is mixed into the high-speed water flow, and different frequencies of physical air pressure pulses are automatically controlled according to actual working conditions. This impacts the inner walls of molds and other small water systems, creating an air burst. Through repeated forward and reverse flushing and vibration of the pipe inner walls, scale and rust are removed, along with other impurities. After filtration and sedimentation, the dirt is discharged through the drain, completing the cleaning of the water system.
[0051] The drying blower is a low-pressure blower. After being powered on, the blower blows air into the heater, allowing the air to pass evenly through the inside and outside of the spiral heating wire. The heat generated by the heating wire after being powered on exchanges heat with the passing cold air, thereby increasing the air temperature at the outlet and bringing the hot air into the drying equipment.
[0052] The 307 pipe cleaning pad is made of rubber and can perfectly engage with the inner wall of the pipe while avoiding damage to the inner wall, thus performing a secondary cleaning of residual scale on the pipe.
[0053] This invention effectively cleans the bends in the cooling pipes of plastic molds, based on existing cleaning equipment.
[0054] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention are also within the protection scope of the present invention.
