Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0025] It should also be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "disposed," "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components. A person of ordinary skill in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the automatic inner wall cleaning device of the present invention includes a frame 1, a cleaning bullet conveying mechanism 4, a rod conveying mechanism 3, a bullet plugging mechanism 5 and a bullet blowing mechanism 6. The rod conveying mechanism 3 conveys the rod toward the bullet plugging mechanism 5 and the bullet blowing mechanism 6 in sequence. The cleaning bullet conveying mechanism 4 conveys the cleaning bullet to the rod that is not filled with the cleaning bullet on the rod conveying mechanism 3. The bullet plugging mechanism 5 fills the cleaning bullet into one end of the rod inner cavity. The bullet blowing mechanism 6 blows out the cleaning bullet in the rod inner cavity. The diameter of the cleaning bullet is larger than the diameter of the rod inner cavity. The cleaning bullet is made of a compressible and deformable material such as sponge. It is squeezed into the rod inner cavity and closely contacts the inner cavity wall. It enters from one end of the rod inner cavity and is blown out from the other end, thereby achieving the purpose of wiping and cleaning the rod inner cavity wall.

[0027] The automatic inner wall cleaning equipment also includes a loading device. The loading device 2 includes a silo platform 201, a loading platform 202, a feeding cylinder 203, and a top plate 204. The lower end of the top plate 204 is connected to the feeding cylinder 203, and the upper end pushes the rod body on the silo platform 201 to the loading platform 202. A blocking claw is provided above the loading platform 202 to limit the rod body 12. The blocking claw is installed on the swing arm beam. One end of the swing arm beam is connected to the swing arm cylinder 211 through the first connecting plate 209 and the second connecting plate 210. The first connecting plate 209 and the second connecting plate 210 are hinged. The swing arm beam is supported by a seat bearing 213 provided on the silo side plate 212. The piston rod of the swing arm cylinder 211 extends and retracts up and down to drive the first connecting plate 209 and the second connecting plate 210, thereby driving the swing arm beam to rotate. As a preferred structure, the swing arm crossbeam includes a first swing arm crossbeam 205 and a second swing arm crossbeam 206. The first swing arm crossbeam 205 is equipped with a plurality of first material blocking claws 207. The first material blocking claws 207 are flat and inclined, and the inclined surface at the upper end of the ejector plate 204 is inclined in the same direction as the first material blocking claws 207. The second swing arm crossbeam 206 is equipped with a plurality of second material blocking claws 208, each of which is L-shaped. A guide plate 214 is provided below the second material blocking claws 208, and a baffle 215 is provided on the frame 11. The guide plate 214 and baffle 215 limit the rod body so that it falls onto the V-shaped support block 302 of the conveyor belt 301.

[0028] The rod conveying mechanism 3 sequentially conveys the rod toward the bullet inserting mechanism 5 and the bullet blowing mechanism 6. It comprises two symmetrically arranged conveyor belts 301, each equipped with a plurality of V-shaped support blocks 302. The V-shaped support blocks 302 on each conveyor belt 301 correspond to and support the ends of the rod. The conveyor belts 301 are mounted on guide wheels 312 and driven wheels 305. A drive belt 304 is mounted on the driving wheel 303 and the drive wheel 317. A drive motor 306 rotates the driving wheel 303, which in turn rotates the drive wheel 317 through the drive belt 304. The drive wheel 317 is connected to the driven wheel 305 via a coupling 313, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 301. As the conveyor belt 301 rotates, the V-shaped support blocks 302 move along with the conveyor belt 301, transporting the rod backward. To adapt the conveyor mechanism to the needs of conveying rods of varying lengths, the distance between the two conveyor belts 301 can be adjusted. In this embodiment, a slide rail 309 is installed on the frame 11. A slider 310 is located below one of the conveyor belt support frames 311. Driven by a motor 316, the slider 310 moves along the slide rail 309 to adjust the distance between the two conveyor belts. A limit plate 314 is installed on one side of the conveyor belt support frame. This limit plate 314 is connected to a fourth cylinder 315. The fourth cylinder 315 drives the limit plate 314 up and down, adjusting its position and limiting one end of the rod to facilitate rod alignment.

[0029] The cleaning bullet conveyor mechanism 4 delivers cleaning bullets to the rod body conveyor mechanism 3, which is not filled with cleaning bullets. The cleaning bullet conveyor mechanism 4 includes a direct vibrator 43 and a receiving clip 41. The receiving clip 41 is located at the outlet of the direct vibrator 43 and is connected to a third cylinder 42, which drives the receiving clip 41 up and down. A cleaning bullet stop plate 44 is located on one side of the receiving clip 41. The direct vibrator 43 includes an output pipe 431 and a vibration motor 432. The cleaning bullet enters the output pipe 431 from the cleaning bullet organizer 45. The vibration motor 432 vibrates the cleaning bullet and delivers it from the output pipe 431 to the receiving clip 41. The cleaning bullet stop plate 44 limits the cleaning bullet to the correct position and matches the rod body. After the cleaning bullet in the receiving clip 41 is in place, the third cylinder 42 drives the receiving clip 41 upward, aligning the cleaning bullet with the rod body cavity to be filled on the rod body conveyor mechanism 3. A spiral ascending track is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning bomb organizer 45 . As the built-in vibration disk vibrates, the cleaning bombs are arranged in order on the spiral track and enter the output pipe 431 one by one.

[0030] The bullet-feeding mechanism 5 includes a bullet-feeding rod 51 and a first cylinder 53. The bullet-feeding rod 51 is connected to the first cylinder 53, which propels the bullet-feeding rod 51 back and forth. In this embodiment, the bullet-feeding rod 51 includes a first bullet-feeding rod 511 and a second bullet-feeding rod 512. Both the first bullet-feeding rod 511 and the second bullet-feeding rod 512 are connected to a bullet-feeding rod base 52, which is connected to the first cylinder 53. The first bullet-feeding rod 511 and the second bullet-feeding rod 512 sequentially align with the rod on the rod conveying mechanism 3 to perform the bullet-feeding operation. The first bullet-feeding rod 511 aligns with the cleaning bullet on the magazine 41 and inserts the cleaning bullet into the inner cavity of the first rod. The rod conveying mechanism 3 moves one station. As the first bullet-feeding rod 511 inserts the cleaning bullet into the inner cavity of the second rod, the second bullet-feeding rod 512 re-checks the cleaning bullet in the inner cavity of the first rod to prevent the cleaning bullet from being inserted incorrectly.

[0031] The blowing mechanism 6 includes a blowing head 61 and a second cylinder 63. The blowing head 61 is connected to the second cylinder 63, which propels the blowing head 61 back and forth. The blowing head 61 is connected to a high-pressure air supply. In this embodiment, the blowing head 61 includes a first blowing head 61 and a second blowing head 61. The first blowing head 61 and the second blowing head 61 are both mounted on a blowing head fixing plate 62. The second cylinder 63 propels the blowing head fixing plate 62 back and forth. The first blowing head 61 and the second blowing head 61 sequentially align with the rod on the rod conveying mechanism 3 to perform the blowing operation. The blowing head 61 is conical in shape, with the blowing hole located at the center of the cone. Two blowing heads 61 are provided, and the cleaning bullet in each rod body is subjected to two high-pressure gas injections, ensuring that the cleaning bullet is ejected from the rod body cavity. A cleaning bullet collection bag 8 is provided on the opposite side of the blowing mechanism 6. The cleaning bullets blown out of the rod body cavity fall into the cleaning bullet collection bag 8. After cleaning, the cleaning bullets can be placed in the cleaning bullet organizer 45 for reuse.

[0032] A rod pressing mechanism 7 is provided on the side of the bullet inserting mechanism 5 and the bullet blowing mechanism 6. The rod pressing mechanism 7 includes a rod pressing block 71. The rod pressing block 71 has a V-shaped structure and is mounted on a pressing block mounting plate 72. The pressing block mounting plate 72 is connected to a lifting cylinder 73. When the rod is inserting or blowing the bullet, the rod pressing block 71 presses the rod on the V-shaped support block 302 to prevent the rod from moving.

[0033] The loading device of the present invention conveys the rod body to the V-shaped support block 302 on the rod body conveying mechanism. The V-shaped support block 302 at the first position is equipped with a photoelectric switch 307 to sense the presence of the V-shaped support block. A photoelectric switch 308 is provided below the conveyor belt to detect the exact position of the V-shaped support block at each position. When the photoelectric switch 307 senses that the rod body is in place on the V-shaped support block 302, the conveyor belt 301 moves one station, and the rod body reaches the bullet-stuffing mechanism 5. The first bullet-stuffing rod 511 stuffs the cleaning bullet from the magazine 41 into the rod body cavity. After the rod body moves one station, the second bullet-stuffing rod 512 performs a secondary bullet-stuffing confirmation, and the first bullet-stuffing rod 511 performs the initial bullet-stuffing operation on the rod body at the next station. The rod body, filled with cleaning bullets, is delivered to the bullet blowing mechanism 6. A second air cylinder 63 moves the blowing head 61 toward the rod body, inserting it into the rod cavity. High-pressure gas is ejected from the blowing head 61, pushing the cleaning bullets through the rod cavity and blowing them out from the other end. The cleaning bullets are collected in the cleaning bullet collection bag 8. The cleaned rod body slides down the lower slide 9 and falls into the next assembly line or collection box. This invention has high cleaning efficiency and greatly reduces production costs.

[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
