[0002] Cleaning devices are equipment used to clean and remove dirt, residues, or contaminants. They can be used in various fields, such as industry, commerce, agriculture, and residential, to clean dirt and sticky substances from equipment surfaces.

[0003] When using a twin-shaft horizontal mixer, after mixing viscous substances, the substances adhere to the surfaces of the mixing shaft and blades, requiring cleaning. The typical cleaning process involves turning off the mixer's power and disconnecting the power source before starting cleaning to prevent accidents. Then, the horizontal twin-shaft mixer is transported to the cleaning mechanism, where high-pressure liquid jets are used for cleaning. However, because the blades are perpendicular to the mixing shaft, only one side of the blades can be rinsed at a time, requiring a second rinse of the other side, significantly impacting cleaning efficiency.

[0043] Example 1

[0044] Reference Figures 1-11 A cleaning device for a horizontal twin-shaft agitator for high-viscosity systems includes a cleaning unit 1, which includes a blade cleaning section 2, a shaft cleaning section 3, and a cleaning component 4.

[0045] The blade cleaning section 2 is located in the cleaning station 5 to simultaneously clean both sides of the blades. A cylinder is installed on the top of the cleaning station 5 to drive the blade cleaning section 2 to rise and fall. The shaft cleaning section 3 is located on the side of the blade cleaning section 2 to clean the surface of the stirring shaft. The cleaning component 4 is located on the top of the cleaning station 5.

[0046] The blade cleaning unit 2 includes a mounting shell 21 fixed to the bottom end of the cylinder extension rod. A blade shell 22 corresponding to the blade position is fixed to the bottom of the mounting shell 21. A worm gear 23 rotates inside the mounting shell 21 via a bearing. A drive unit for driving the worm gear 23 to rotate is provided inside the mounting shell 21. A worm wheel 24 meshes with the outer surface of the worm gear 23. A lead screw 25 is fixed at the axis of the worm wheel 24. The lead screw 25 is rotatably connected to the mounting shell 21 via a bearing. A lifting block 26 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 25. A pressure shell 27 is provided on the front side of the lifting block 26. A micro nozzle 28 is provided inside the pressure shell 27.

[0047] The shaft cleaning unit 3 includes a rack 31 fixed to the back of the right lifting block 26. A gear 32 meshes with the outer surface of the rack 31. A lead screw 33 is fixed at the shaft of the gear 32. A moving block 34 is threaded to the outer surface of the lead screw 33. A nozzle 35 is fixed to the bottom of the moving block 34. A limit rod 36 is fixed to the right side of the blade shell 22. A limit block 37 is fixed to the top of the moving block 34. The limit block 37 slides on the outer surface of the limit rod 36. A rectangular groove 38 is opened on the right side of the blade shell 22. The rack 31 slides in the rectangular groove 38.

[0048] The cleaning component 4 includes a water tank 41 fixed on the top of the cleaning station 5. A water pump 42 is installed on the top of the cleaning station 5. The inlet end of the water pump 42 is connected to the water tank 41. A connecting pipe 43 is fixed inside the mounting housing 21. The outlet end of the water pump 42 is connected to the connecting pipe 43 through an inlet hose. A first hose 44 and a second hose 45 are connected to the outer surface of the connecting pipe 43. The bottom end of the second hose 45 is connected to the nozzle 35.

[0049] The bottom of the pressure shell 27 is provided with a rectangular drainage groove 11.

[0050] In existing technology, the blades and the stirring shaft are set perpendicularly, which means that only one side of the blades can be rinsed at a time during cleaning. After rinsing, the other side of the blades must be rinsed, which greatly affects the cleaning efficiency. The following improvements are made to address this issue:

[0051] By setting the blade shell 22, the blade shell 22 can be fitted onto the outer surface of the blade. Through the cooperation between the drive unit, worm 23, worm wheel 24 and lead screw 25, when the drive unit is started, the lead screw 25 can be rotated. Therefore, the two lifting blocks 26 can be moved up or down. The micro nozzle 28 is set inside the pressure shell 27, so the micro nozzle 28 can be moved up or down inside the blade shell 22. The high-pressure liquid sprayed from the micro nozzle 28 cleans the sticky material on the blade. Compared with the traditional single-sided cleaning, the cleaning efficiency is greatly improved. The liquid is either water or cleaning fluid. The drive unit can be a commonly used motor on the market.

[0052] The rack 31 is connected to the lifting block 26. When the lifting block 26 moves up or down, it drives the rack 31 to move as well. Through the arrangement of the rack 31 and gear 32, the movement of the rack 31 drives the lead screw 33 to rotate. The limiting block 37 and rectangular groove 38 further limit the movement of the moving block 34 and nozzle 35, causing them to move left or right. The high-pressure liquid sprayed from the nozzle 35 washes the stirring shaft between adjacent blades. This design cleans both sides of the blades simultaneously with the stirring shaft between them, further improving cleaning efficiency.

[0053] Specifically, during cleaning, the horizontal twin-shaft mixer is transported to the interior of cleaning station 5 and positioned at the bottom of mounting shell 21. A cylinder drives mounting shell 21 downwards, placing it on top of the mixer so that blade shell 22 fits over the outer surface of the first row of blades. The drive unit and water pump 42 are activated. The drive unit rotates the worm gear 23, which in turn rotates the worm wheel 24. The worm wheel 24 then rotates the lead screw 25, thereby causing the lifting block 26 and the pressure shell 27 to move upwards or downwards. The pressure shell 27 moves the micro-nozzles 28 along with the blades on their outer surface. As the lifting block 26 moves up and down... When the rack 31 moves together with the rectangular groove 38, the movement of the rack 31 drives the gear 32 to rotate, and the gear 32 drives the lead screw 33 to rotate. The limit block 37 and the rectangular groove 38 limit the movement, thereby driving the moving block 34 and the nozzle 35 to move left and right. The water pump 42 draws the liquid in the water tank 41 into the connecting pipe 43, and then draws it into the micro nozzle 28 and the nozzle 35 from the hose 44 and the hose 45. The liquid is sprayed out from the micro nozzle 28 and the nozzle 35 by high pressure jet to clean the blades and the stirring shaft. The impurities after cleaning flow out from the drain tank 11.

[0054] It should be noted that the number of blade shells 22 is not limited to four, but specifically corresponds to the number of blades on common stirring shafts on the market.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] Reference Figures 1-11 A cleaning device for a horizontal twin-shaft agitator for high-viscosity systems includes a cleaning unit 1, which includes a blade cleaning section 2, a shaft cleaning section 3, and a cleaning component 4.

[0057] The blade cleaning section 2 is located in the cleaning station 5 to simultaneously clean both sides of the blades. A cylinder is installed on the top of the cleaning station 5 to drive the blade cleaning section 2 to rise and fall. The shaft cleaning section 3 is located on the side of the blade cleaning section 2 to clean the surface of the stirring shaft. The cleaning component 4 is located on the top of the cleaning station 5.

[0058] The blade cleaning unit 2 also includes a swinging unit 6, which includes a rack 61 fixed to the bottom of the mounting shell 21. A gear 62 meshes with the outer surface of the rack 61. A rotating rod 63 is fixed at the shaft of the gear 62 and is rotatably connected to the pressure shell 27 through a bearing. A sector gear 64 is fixed to the outer surface of the rotating rod 63. A gear ring 65 meshes with the outer surface of the sector gear 64. A rectangular shell 67 is fixed to the front side of the gear ring 65 through a connecting rod 66. The bottom end of the hose 44 extends into the rectangular shell 67, and the micro nozzle 28 is connected to the rectangular shell 67.

[0059] Among them, the top and bottom of the pressure shell 27 are provided with limiting grooves 8, and the rack 2 61 slides in the pressure shell 27.

[0060] Among them, the width of rack 2 61 is greater than the width of gear 2 62, a rectangular strip 9 is fixed inside the pressure shell 27, a rectangular block 10 is fixed on the top of gear ring 65, and the rectangular block 10 slides on the outer surface of the rectangular strip 9.

[0061] Although the blade cleaning section 2 allows for simultaneous cleaning of both sides of the blades, the varying blade lengths limit the spray range of the micro-nozzle 28. When the blades are long, it cannot be guaranteed that other parts of the blades will also be cleaned. The following improvements are made to address this:

[0062] When the pressure shell 27 moves up and down, it drives gear 62 to move up and down as well. Gear 62 is connected to the mounting shell 21 via rack 61, and also meshes with rack 61. This causes gear 62 and rotating rod 63 to rotate. Rotating rod 63 is connected to sector gear 64, thus driving sector gear 64 to rotate. When the last key tooth of sector gear 64 disengages from the first key tooth at the bottom of gear ring 65, the first key tooth on sector gear 64 meshes with the first key tooth at the top of gear ring 65, thereby driving gear ring 65 to move to the left. Therefore, when sector gear 64 continues to rotate, it can drive gear ring 65. The gear ring 65 is limited by sliding between the rectangular bar 9 and the rectangular block 10, which improves the stability of the gear ring 65 during movement. It is connected to the gear ring 65 by the connecting rod 66, which in turn drives the connecting rod 66 and the rectangular shell 67 to reciprocate together. It is connected to the rectangular shell 67 by the micro nozzle 28, which in turn drives the micro nozzle 28 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction. This design can improve the spray range of the micro nozzle 28, avoid some parts of the longer blades not being cleaned, and eliminate the need to move the micro nozzle 28 back and forth to change its position in order to clean different parts of the blades, thus further improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0063] It should be noted that by opening limiting grooves 8 at the top and bottom of the pressure shell 27, the rack 21 can move within the limiting grooves 8 when the pressure shell 27 is raised or lowered. When the pressure shell 27 is squeezed and moves backward, it will drive the gear 22 to move backward together. Since the width of the rack 21 is greater than the width of the gear 22, the gear 22 will never disengage from the rack 21, so as not to affect the movement of the gear ring 65.

[0064] Example 3

[0065] Reference Figures 1-11 A cleaning device for a horizontal twin-shaft agitator for high-viscosity systems includes a cleaning unit 1, which includes a blade cleaning section 2, a shaft cleaning section 3, and a cleaning component 4.

[0066] The blade cleaning section 2 is located in the cleaning station 5 to simultaneously clean both sides of the blades. A cylinder is installed on the top of the cleaning station 5 to drive the blade cleaning section 2 to rise and fall. The shaft cleaning section 3 is located on the side of the blade cleaning section 2 to clean the surface of the stirring shaft. The cleaning component 4 is located on the top of the cleaning station 5.

[0067] The micro nozzle 28 has a water inlet chamber 281 inside. The front end of the water inlet chamber 281 is connected to water injection chamber one 282, water injection chamber two 283 and water injection chamber three 284 respectively. Water injection chamber one 282, water injection chamber two 283 and water injection chamber three 284 correspond to the blade thickness commonly used in the market, and the diameters of water injection chamber one 282, water injection chamber two 283 and water injection chamber three 284 increase sequentially.

[0068] The blade cleaning unit 2 also includes an adjustment unit 7. The adjustment unit 7 includes a fixed cylinder 71 fixed to the front side of the lifting block 26. A piston disc 72 moves inside the fixed cylinder 71. A slide rod 73 is fixed to the front side of the piston disc 72. The other end of the slide rod 73 is fixed to the pressure shell 27. The slide rod 73 slides through the fixed cylinder 71. A return spring 74 is sleeved on the outer surface of the slide rod 73. The two ends of the return spring 74 are fixed to the pressure shell 27 and the fixed cylinder 71, respectively. An air inlet pipe 75 is connected to the outer surface of the rectangular shell 67. A fixed cylinder 76 is fixed to the right side of the rectangular shell 67. A piston disc 77 moves inside the fixed cylinder 76. A sliding rod 78 is fixed to the front side of the piston disc 77. The left end of the sliding rod 78 slides through the fixed cylinder 76 and is fixed with a water inlet pipe 79. A light spring 710 is sleeved on the outer surface of the sliding rod 78. The two ends of the light spring 710 are connected to the fixed cylinder 76 and the piston disc 77, respectively. The bottom end of the hose 44 is connected to the water inlet pipe 79.

[0069] Although the interaction between the blade cleaning section 2 and the swing section 6 allows for cleaning of both sides of the blade and is applicable to blades of different lengths, the inconsistent thickness of the blades means that when the blade is thinner, the texture on the surface formed by the reinforcing ribs is finer. Therefore, a stronger water flow is required to clean it thoroughly. The following improvements are made to address this issue:

[0070] Before fitting the blade shell 22 onto the blade, the blade is inserted between two pressure shells 27. The pressure shells 27 are connected to the sliding rod 73. Therefore, the compression of the blade drives the sliding rod 73 and piston disc 72 to move within the fixed cylinder 71. The movement of the piston disc 72 compresses the gas within the fixed cylinder 71, forcing it into the intake pipe 75 and then into the fixed cylinder 76. The sliding rod 78 is slidably connected to the fixed cylinder 76. When the gas enters the fixed cylinder... When the gas is inside the second 76, the piston disc 77 and slide rod 78 are pushed forward by the gas, compressing the light spring 710. The slide rod 78 is connected to the water inlet pipe 79. When the water inlet pipe 79 is pushed to the position corresponding to the water inlet chamber 281, the different thicknesses of the blades cause the piston disc 72 and slide rod 73 to move backward at different distances. This, in turn, causes the compressed gas to move the water inlet pipe 79 to different positions within the water inlet chamber 281, thus allowing the water to enter. Cavity 281 is connected to different water injection cavities 282, 283, and 284, with the diameters of these cavities increasing sequentially. Therefore, when encountering a shallow blade, the shorter compression distance causes the inlet pipe 79 to be pushed to the first inlet cavity 281, causing water entering through the inlet pipe 79 to be ejected from the first inlet cavity 282. Because the diameter of the first inlet cavity 282 is smaller, the ejected water column will also be smaller, thus... The water jet is stronger. When the blade width is shallow, the stronger water jet impact washes away the fine texture on its surface, improving the cleaning effect. This design allows the micro nozzle 28 to automatically adjust the size of the water jet according to the thickness of the blade, thereby controlling the water flow intensity. Conversely, when the blade is thicker, the longer squeezing distance will push the water inlet pipe 79 to the second or third water inlet chamber 281, so that the water entering from the water inlet pipe 79 will be sprayed out from the second water inlet chamber 283 or the third water inlet chamber 284.

[0071] It should be noted that initially, there is a certain gap between the two pressure shells 27, and the bottom of the pressure shell 27 is provided with a conical part to facilitate blade insertion. The diameters of water injection chamber one 282, water injection chamber two 283, and water injection chamber three 284 can correspond to several types of blade thicknesses commonly found on the market, and the distance the water inlet pipe 79 moves can be calculated in advance. The connection between the water inlet pipe 79 and the water inlet chamber 281 is provided with a groove and a sealing gasket, which can be a commonly used sealing gasket. In order to reduce the resistance encountered by the movement of the water inlet pipe 79, piston disc two... 77, 78, 79, and 710 can be made of plastic. The setting of the pressure shell 27 can make a certain gap between the micro nozzle 28 and the blade, preventing the micro nozzle 28 from sticking to the surface of the blade and causing the liquid in the micro nozzle 28 to not spray out. The setting of the fixed cylinder 71, piston disc 72 and slide rod 73 ensures that the pressure shell 27 is always in contact with the surface of the blade. When rinsing stops, the lifting block 26 drives the pressure shell 27 to rise and fall, which can scrape off the dirt on the surface of the blade.

Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
