Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automatic cleaning technology, and more specifically, to an automated cleaning device for rosin barrels. Background Technology
[0002] In the rosin deep processing industry, rosin purchased from external sources or produced in-house and stored in iron drums needs to have contaminants cleaned from the surface of the rosin drums (A) before processing to prevent product contamination. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning process primarily relies on manual labor using high-pressure water guns to clean the rosin barrels (A). A driver uses a forklift to transport the rosin barrels (A) to the cleaning area, where workers use handheld high-pressure water guns on the forklift to clean the barrel body, bottom, and lid, removing dirt and impurities from the surface. During the cleaning process, the rosin barrels (A) need to be manually moved to clean hard-to-reach areas at the bottom. After cleaning, the forklift driver transports the cleaned rosin barrels (A) to the next production step. The labor intensity for the barrel-washing workers is high, and the cleaning efficiency is low. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings.
[0027] See Figures 2-9 An automated cleaning device for rosin barrels includes a conveying mechanism 21, an automatic cleaning mechanism 22, and a controller. The conveying mechanism 21 includes a frame 4, a first motor 1, a conveyor belt 5, and rollers 10. The rollers 10 are installed at both ends of the frame 4. The first motor 1 is electrically connected to the controller. A reducer 2 is provided on the top of the first motor 1. The reducer 2 is connected to the roller 10 at one end of the frame 4. The outer wall of the roller 10 is provided with the conveyor belt 5. The automatic cleaning mechanism 22 includes a water tank 12 and conveyor drive wheels 7. The conveyor drive wheels 7 are located on both sides of the top of the water tank 12. The outer wall of each conveyor drive wheel 7 is equipped with a drive belt 11. Each conveyor drive wheel 7 is driven by a second motor. An automatic cleaning machine 13 is installed above the drive belt 11, and a lifting drive 6 is installed below the drive belt 11. The lifting drive 6 is located in the hollow position between the two drive belts 11. The inner wall of the automatic cleaning machine 13 is equipped with a high-pressure water nozzle 81 and a compressed air nozzle 82. The second motor, the lifting drive 6, the high-pressure water nozzle 81, and the compressed air nozzle 82 are electrically connected to the controller. The output end of the conveyor belt 5 is connected to the input end of the drive belt 11.
[0028] Preferably, the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 5 is controlled by a PLC controller.
[0029] Specifically, there are 7 high-pressure water nozzles 81 and 4 compressed air nozzles 82.
[0030] The automatic cleaning machine 13 includes a support frame 83, with second mounting seats 87 on both sides of the support frame 83. Each second mounting seat 87 has a high-pressure water nozzle 81. The top of the support frame 83 has a first mounting seat 84 with an inverted T-shaped structure. The top of the first mounting seat 84 has a compressed air chamber 88 connected to an external compressed air pipe. The bottom of the first mounting seat 84 has both a high-pressure water nozzle 81 and a compressed air nozzle 82. The high-pressure water nozzle 81 is connected to a high-pressure water pump 85 via a water pipe 86, and the compressed air chamber 88 is connected to the compressed air nozzle 82. Specifically, the horizontally arranged high-pressure water nozzle 81 on the first mounting seat 84 can clean the body of the rosin barrel 9, while the vertically arranged high-pressure water nozzle 81 on the second mounting seat 87 can clean the bottom and top of the rosin barrel 9.
[0031] Preferably, the cleaning time of the high-pressure water nozzle 81 is controlled by PLC. After the cleaning is completed, the valve of the compressed air chamber 88 is opened, and the compressed air nozzle 82 blows the body of the rosin barrel 9.
[0032] The top of the lifting transmission device 6 is a U-shaped structure, and the two ends of the U-shaped structure are respectively equipped with a rotating wheel 61 and a third motor connected to the rotating wheel 61. The bottom of the lifting transmission device 6 is equipped with a cylinder 62 for vertical extension and retraction. The third motor and the cylinder 62 are electrically connected to the controller.
[0033] A sensor 63 is provided on one side of the lifting transmission device 6 to detect the position of the rosin barrel 9. When the rosin barrel 9 reaches the cleaning point, the lifting transmission device 6 starts to rise, and the rotating wheels 61 at both ends start to rotate counterclockwise, thereby driving the rosin barrel 9 to start to rotate clockwise, and thoroughly cleaning the barrel body of the rosin barrel 9.
[0034] Guardrails 3 are provided on both sides of the top of the conveying mechanism 21 to prevent the rosin barrel 9 from slipping.
[0035] Preferably, the conveyor belt 5 is a plate chain, and the roller 10 is a gear adapted to the plate chain.
[0036] The water tank 12 is equipped with a filter 15, and the high-pressure water pump 85 is connected to the filter 15 through a water pipe 86. Specifically, the water tank 12 can collect water and impurities generated during the cleaning process of the automatic cleaning machine 13. The water and impurities collected in the water tank 12 can be recycled after being filtered by the filter 15.
[0037] Work implementation steps:
[0038] (1) The rosin barrels are forked onto the conveyor mechanism 21 for buffering. The barrel washing worker starts the automatic control of barrel feeding, feeding the barrels one by one into the conveyor belt 5, and controlling the conveying speed to match the cleaning and blowing time through the PLC controller.
[0039] (2) After the rosin barrel 9 is transported to the automatic cleaning mechanism 22, when it reaches the automatic cleaning machine 13, the lifting and rotating device 6 is raised, and the two rotating wheels 61 lift the rosin barrel 9 away from the transmission belt 11. The rotating wheels 61 on the lifting and rotating device 6 rotate counterclockwise, causing the rosin barrel 9 to start rotating clockwise. The horizontally arranged high-pressure water nozzles 81 and the vertically arranged high-pressure water nozzles 81 are used to clean the barrel body, barrel head and barrel bottom. The water and impurities used for cleaning fall into the water tank 12 below for collection. The collected wastewater can be recycled after being filtered by the filter.
[0040] (3) The cleaning time is controlled by the PLC controller to control the start and stop of the high-pressure water nozzle 81. After the cleaning is completed, the valve of the compressed air chamber 88 is opened and the compressed air nozzle 82 blows the body of the rosin barrel 9. After it is cleaned, the lifting and rotating device 6 lowers and puts the rosin barrel 9 into the transmission belt 11. The clean rosin barrel 9 enters the next process.
[0041] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the structure of the present invention, and these will not affect the effectiveness of the implementation of the present invention or the practicality of the patent.
