Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and more specifically, to a cleaning component for a groove at the bottom of a bucket, a cleaning machine, and a cleaning method. Background Technology

[0002] Round barrels are commonly used in the food, biochemical, and pharmaceutical industries. These industries require strict adherence to production environment standards, necessitating frequent cleaning of the crucibles used. For example, the rubber stopper pans used in vial filling and capping machines in the pharmaceutical industry are typically cleaned using cleaning machines. When in use, the items to be cleaned are placed on a rack, and the items are cleaned and dried using a spray ball.

[0003] However, when cleaning and drying cylindrical containers, it is difficult to clean and dry the bottom recessed area. Extending the compressed air purging time and hot air drying time in the process did not completely solve the problem. This not only prolongs the cleaning and drying time, increasing costs, but also fails to properly resolve the drying issue. The problem of water accumulating in the bottom recessed area of ​​rubber-stopped pots and not drying completely persists. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the problems of existing cleaning methods and the difficulty in cleaning and drying the bottom grooves of cylindrical containers, this invention provides a cleaning component, cleaning machine, and cleaning method for the bottom grooves of containers.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A bottom groove cleaning component for a bucket includes,

[0007] The second pipe has a first pipe mounting base at its upper part;

[0008] A first pipe, open at the bottom and inserted into a first pipe mounting base, also open at the bottom and communicating with the interior of a second pipe, is mounted on the first pipe mounting base with fixing bolts for securing the second pipe.

[0009] The upper part of the first pipe is provided with a first flushing section, a wiping section and a drying section in a counterclockwise direction.

[0010] Multiple first nozzles are vertically installed on the side of the first flushing section away from the first pipe, and the interior of the first flushing section is connected to the first pipe through a pipe.

[0011] A perforated air outlet plate is vertically installed on the side of the drying section away from the first pipe, and the interior of the drying section is connected to the first pipe through a pipe.

[0012] Valves are installed on the pipeline;

[0013] The scrubbing section is provided with a vertical rod inside, and the scrubbing section is detachably sleeved on the vertical rod;

[0014] In the above embodiments, by rotating the first pipe, the selected component is fixed by fixing bolts. For example, when the first flushing part is selected, the first flushing part is rotated to face the groove of the barrel, and the groove of the barrel is flushed with high pressure water. During this process, the groove can be cleaned in all directions by rotating the barrel.

[0015] Similarly, when cleaning, rotate the cleaning part to face the groove of the barrel. Also, use the rotation of the barrel. The cleaning part needs to be close to the inner wall of the groove. Select a connecting rod of appropriate length to ensure close contact. Cleaning can be divided into two steps: first, use a hard cloth such as steel wool to clean, and then switch to a cotton cloth to absorb water and fully remove water stains from the groove.

[0016] Finally, the drying section is selected, and the grooves are dried by rotating the drum.

[0017] The vertical rods of the first rinsing section, drying section, and wiping section are all fixedly connected to the first pipe via connecting rods.

[0018] Preferably, baffles are provided on the side walls of the first rinsing section on both sides of the first nozzle.

[0019] Preferably, a second rinsing section is provided at the bottom of the first rinsing section, and a second nozzle is provided at the bottom of the second rinsing section. The interior of the second rinsing section is connected to the first pipe through a pipe.

[0020] More preferably, the second rinsing part is rotatably connected to the first rinsing part via a rotary joint, and the left and right swing range of the second rinsing part is -90° to 90°.

[0021] Preferably, the connecting rod has a threaded joint on the side facing the first pipe, and the first rinsing part, wiping part and drying part are all connected to the first pipe through the connecting rod to form a detachable structure.

[0022] More preferably, both the first rinsing section and the second rinsing section are connected to water inlet pipes; the drying section is connected to an air inlet pipe, wherein,

[0023] Both the water inlet pipe and the air inlet pipe are located inside the first pipe and the second pipe, and the water inlet pipe and the air inlet pipe are not connected.

[0024] More preferably, both the water inlet pipe and the air inlet pipe are rubber hoses.

[0025] Based on the above, the present invention also provides a barrel bottom groove cleaning machine, including any of the above-mentioned barrel bottom groove cleaning components, and further comprising,

[0026] Barrel body;

[0027] A support frame is provided, with the bucket body placed horizontally on the support frame and the bottom groove of the bucket body facing the bottom groove cleaning component.

[0028] The water tank is located directly below the barrel.

[0029] Preferably, the lengths of the first rinsing section, wiping section, and drying section are located between half the diameter of the bottom groove of the barrel and one the diameter of the bottom groove of the barrel.

[0030] The present invention also proposes a method for cleaning the grooves at the bottom of a bucket, including the bucket bottom groove cleaning machine in any of the above embodiments, specifically including the following steps:

[0031] S1: Assume that the barrel is placed on at least two supports of equal height and side by side, ensuring that the axis of the barrel is horizontal with the ground when the barrel rotates on the supports.

[0032] S2: Rinsing: Rotate the first pipe to position the first rinsing section facing the tank body, turn on the water pump, and allow high-pressure water to enter the first rinsing section through the inlet pipe. The water is then sprayed into the tank body's grooves through the first nozzle.

[0033] The second flushing section can change its angle to flush the inner wall of the groove or the crevices at the angle.

[0034] S3: Scrubbing: Rotate the scrubbing part according to the above steps so that it faces the groove. The scrubbing part needs to be in contact with the inner wall of the groove. Scrubbing is performed on the inside of the groove by rotating it.

[0035] S4: Drying: Rotate the drying unit according to the above steps so that it faces the groove, turn on the external air pump, and high-pressure gas enters the drying unit through the air inlet pipe and is sprayed out through the multi-hole air outlet plate to continuously dry the inner wall of the groove.

[0036] S5: Repeat steps S1-S4.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the technical solution of the present invention are:

[0038] High-precision cleaning machines require programming, have complex internal structures, and are expensive. Furthermore, rinsing and drying using only spray heads is insufficient for cleaning some cylindrical grooves, and takes a long time. This application integrates rinsing, wiping, and drying components into a single rotatable component. By utilizing the rotation of the barrel, it effectively performs a series of point-to-point rinsing, wiping, and drying steps inside the grooves. This approach has advantages such as low cost and high cleaning efficiency. In addition, the rinsing and drying sections in this application use two pipes, one for water and one for air, so they do not interfere with each other. Attached Figure Description

[0053] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0054] Example 1

[0055] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 This application provides a bottom groove cleaning component for a bucket, including,

[0056] The second pipe 2 is installed horizontally to the ground. In the original cleaning machine, the second pipe 2 serves as a water pipe and an air pipe. Spray heads are installed on the pipe to perform steps such as rinsing objects. In this embodiment, the second pipe 2 also serves to support the first pipe 1 and to facilitate water and air circulation. The upper part of the second pipe is provided with a first pipe mounting base 3.

[0057] The first pipe 1 is used to carry components for rinsing, wiping and drying. The bottom of the first pipe 1 is open and inserted into the first pipe mounting base 3. The bottom of the first pipe 1 is open and connected to the inside of the second pipe. The first pipe mounting base 3 is equipped with fixing bolts 4 for fixing the second pipe.

[0058] Specifically, the first pipe 1 can be freely disassembled from the first pipe mounting base 3, which is convenient to change according to the size of the barrel 16. At the same time, it can be rotated on the first pipe mounting base 3 to facilitate the selection of suitable parts. It should be noted that the connection between the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2 in this embodiment needs to be sealed to avoid water and air leakage at the connection.

[0059] The upper part of the first pipe 1 is provided with a first rinsing section 6, a wiping section 7 and a drying section 5 arranged in a counterclockwise direction.

[0060] Multiple first nozzles 14 are vertically installed on the side of the first flushing section 6 away from the first pipe 1. The interior of the first flushing section 6 is connected to the first pipe 1 through a pipe.

[0061] A perforated air outlet plate 15 is vertically installed on the side of the drying section 5 away from the first pipe 1, and the interior of the drying section 5 is connected to the first pipe 1 through a pipe.

[0062] Valves are installed on the pipeline;

[0063] The scrubbing section 7 is provided with a vertical rod 19 inside, and the scrubbing section 7 is detachably sleeved on the vertical rod 19;

[0064] The vertical rods 19 of the first rinsing section 6, drying section 5 and wiping section 7 are all fixedly connected to the first pipe 1 via connecting rods 20.

[0065] The specific working principle of the above embodiment is as follows: the first pipe 1 can rotate on the first pipe mounting base 3. When needed, switch to the component that handles this step, such as rinsing. Position the first rinsing part 6 facing the bottom of the tank body 16 to be cleaned. By rotating the tank body 16, the cleaning work around the groove is completed. Similarly, when it is necessary to wipe off water stains and dry, simply rotate the first pipe 1 to the appropriate position. The pipes on the rinsing part and the wiping part are closed by valves to avoid simultaneous operation.

[0066] Example 2:

[0067] Please see Figure 1 As a preferred embodiment of the above, baffles 13 are provided on the side walls of the first rinsing section 6 on both sides of the first nozzle 14.

[0068] The function of the baffle 13 is to block the splashed water when the rinsing section rotates and rinses, thereby reducing the degree of water splashing to a certain extent.

[0069] Example 3:

[0070] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 As a preferred embodiment of the above, a second rinsing section 8 is provided at the bottom of the first rinsing section 6, and a second nozzle 17 is provided at the bottom of the second rinsing section 8. The interior of the second rinsing section 8 is connected to the first pipe 1 through a pipe.

[0071] Existing large cylindrical barrels are generally difficult to support with a one-time stamping process, and the bottom of the barrel may even involve high-frequency welding and splicing processes. In this case, deeper grooves are likely to appear at the junction of the barrel bottom and the barrel body. If only the front is rinsed, it is difficult to wash away the dust and impurities in the grooves. Therefore, this embodiment sets a second rinsing part 8 at the bottom of the first rinsing part 6. The second rinsing part 8 can be rotated to rinse the junction of the barrel bottom and the barrel body from multiple angles, thereby further improving the rinsing quality and preventing dust from being trapped in the grooves.

[0072] Furthermore, the second rinsing unit 8 is rotatably connected to the first rinsing unit 6 via a rotating joint 18, and the left and right swing range of the second rinsing unit 8 is -90° to 90°.

[0073] Example 4:

[0074] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As a preferred embodiment of the above, the connecting rod 20 is provided with a threaded joint on the side facing the first pipe 1, and the first flushing part 6, the wiping part 7 and the drying part 5 are all connected to the first pipe 1 through the connecting rod 20 to form a disassembly structure.

[0075] In this embodiment, threaded connectors allow for quick assembly and disassembly of various components to facilitate replacement of cylindrical grooves of different sizes.

[0076] Example 5:

[0077] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 In a preferred embodiment, both the first rinsing section 6 and the second rinsing section 8 are connected to a water inlet pipe 10; the drying section 5 is connected to an air inlet pipe 9.

[0078] Both the water inlet pipe 10 and the air inlet pipe 9 are located inside the first pipe 1 and the second pipe 2, and the water inlet pipe 10 and the air inlet pipe 9 are not connected.

[0079] In this embodiment, the second pipe 2 no longer serves the function of conveying water and air, but rather acts as a buried pipe, protecting the water and air pipes. In this embodiment, water and air are separated into different pipelines to prevent water and air from converging in the pipelines and affecting the flushing and drying progress.

[0080] Furthermore, both the water inlet pipe 10 and the air inlet pipe 9 are rubber hoses.

[0081] Example 6:

[0082] Please see Figure 2 Based on the above embodiments, the present invention also proposes a barrel bottom groove cleaning machine, comprising,

[0083] Barrel body 16;

[0084] The support 11 and the barrel 16 are placed horizontally on the support 11, with the bottom groove of the barrel 16 facing the bottom groove of the cleaning component. The support is used to support the barrel 16.

[0085] The water tank 12 is located directly below the barrel 16. The water tank is used to collect water and can also centrally purify wastewater to achieve water circulation.

[0086] It should be noted that existing high-precision cleaning machines can rotate and make objects roll, while this application mainly proposes a low-cost and high-efficiency cleaning component. The component is difficult to integrate with electricity and can be used manually. The specific rotation of the barrel 16 during cleaning can be done manually or mechanically.

[0087] Furthermore, the lengths of the first rinsing section 6, the wiping section 7, and the drying section 5 are located between half the diameter of the bottom groove of the barrel 16 and one the diameter of the bottom groove of the barrel 16.

[0088] When the device is cleaning, when the bottom of the rinsing part and other components are flush with the bottom of the groove, and the top height exceeds the center point of the barrel 16, the bottom of the barrel groove can be completely cleaned and dried, avoiding problems such as poor cleaning effect due to being too short. At the same time, the above problems can also be solved by replacing the drying part and other components of different sizes.

[0089] The present invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0090] S1: Assume that the barrel 16 is on at least two supports 11 of equal height and arranged side by side, ensuring that when the barrel 16 rotates on the supports 11, the axis of the barrel 16 is horizontal with the ground.

[0091] S2: Rinsing: Rotate the first pipe 1 to position the first rinsing section 6 facing the tank body 16, turn on the water pump, and allow high-pressure water to enter the first rinsing section 6 through the inlet pipe 10, and spray it into the groove of the tank body 16 through the first nozzle 14.

[0092] The second flushing section 8 can change its angle to flush the inner wall of the groove or the crevices at the angle.

[0093] S3: Scrubbing: Rotate the scrubbing part 7 according to the above steps so that it faces the groove. The scrubbing part 7 needs to be in contact with the inner wall of the groove. Scrubbing is performed on the inside of the groove by rotating it.

[0094] S4: Drying: Rotate the drying unit 5 according to the above steps so that it faces the groove, turn on the external air pump, and high-pressure gas enters the drying unit 5 through the air inlet pipe 9 and is sprayed out through the multi-hole air outlet plate 15 to continuously dry the inner wall of the groove.

[0095] S5: Repeat steps S1-S4.

[0096] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
