Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of production detection equipment, and in particular relates to a hand washing brush detection device. Background Art

[0002] In areas where strict sanitary requirements are placed, such as food processing and medical treatment, in order to ensure the physical hygiene of operators, operators are often required to undergo appropriate disinfection and cleaning before entering designated places to avoid contamination of the place by external substances such as bacteria, viruses, and impurities. Hand hygiene is an important cleaning item in such places.

[0003] In order to ensure the hygiene of cleaning utensils, such places mostly use disposable items such as hand-washing brushes for cleaning. Among them, the current general hand-washing brushes are mostly composed of a bristle part, a connecting part and a sponge part, that is, the bristles and sponge are respectively arranged on the front and back sides of the connecting part. In order to ensure that the sponge and bristles of the hand-washing brush are firmly bonded during the production process, corresponding tests will be carried out before packaging, and products with weak bonding or surface defects will be removed. At present, most conventional testing equipment uses a robotic arm or a brush to perform a single brushing test on the cleaning brush on the conveyor belt, but this method is inefficient. Each test requires the equipment to be briefly shut down at a designated position to wait for the test to end, resulting in low test continuity. Adding multiple testing tools also has the problems of high production cost and high maintenance difficulty. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] Example 1: Figure 1-5 As shown, a hand washing brush detection device comprises a platform 1, a driving machine 11 and a control panel, the driving machine 11 is a motor and is placed on an external plane, the platform 1 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the driving machine 11, and the platform 1 is provided with a detection mechanism;

[0027] The detection mechanism is composed of a plurality of test components and a starting component. The platform 1 is evenly provided with a plurality of through slots 12 around the center of a circle. The plurality of test components are installed correspondingly to the plurality of through slots 12. The starting component is arranged between the lower side of the platform 1 and the plurality of test components. The upper end of the platform 1 is also provided with a pressing plate 2 fixed to the outside and matching the through slots 12. The platform 1 is provided with a visual detector 21.

[0028] The test assembly includes a longitudinal expander, a transverse expander and a friction plate 3. The longitudinal expander and the transverse expander are distributed in a cross shape. The longitudinal expander is fixedly connected to the lower end of the platform 1. The friction plate 3 is connected to the end of the transverse expander facing the through groove 12 and their positions correspond. The transverse expander corresponds to the position of the starting assembly. A number of dial pins parallel to the ground and corresponding to the through groove 12 are provided on the upper side of the pressure plate 2.

[0029] When the hand washing brush is tested for production, the hand washing brush is placed into the testing mechanism of the platform 1 through an external manual or mechanical claw or other feeding mechanism, wherein the through slot 12 matches the size of the hand washing brush, the sponge end of the hand washing brush faces downward, and the bristle end faces upward. When a hand washing brush is placed into the through slot 12, the control panel rotates the platform 1 through the driving machine 11, thereby moving the next through slot 12 to the front side for cyclic and continuous feeding;

[0030] Correspondingly, when the hand washing brush is placed in the through groove 12 and driven by the platform 1 to move, the hand washing brush will be tested by the rotation of the platform 1 and then by the testing assembly. The setting of the pressing plate 2 can limit the hand washing brush during the movement so that it is embedded in the through groove 12 to ensure the stability of the test;

[0031] During the test phase, the longitudinal retractor and the transverse retractor will be displaced by the starting component, thereby driving the friction plate 3 to approach and act on the sponge end of the hand-washing brush to simulate the brushing action, and the pin can comb and block the bristles to test whether the bristles will fall off. Finally, after the test is completed and continued to be transported, the visual detector 21 performs a visual inspection on the hand-washing brush to determine whether it has defects. This testing method has high continuity and can test the sponge and bristles of the hand-washing brush at the same time, reducing manual intervention and improving efficiency to meet the needs of efficient production.

[0032] The starting assembly includes a fixed ring 4, a lifting plate 41 and a wave plate 42. The fixed ring 4 is fixedly connected to the external plane and is concentrically distributed with the platform 1. The lifting plate 41 and the fixed ring 4 are integrally formed and are located on the side relative to the visual detector 21. The proportion of the lifting plate 41 to the fixed ring 4 is 40°-70° of the circular ring angle. The number of wave plates 42 is several and the plane projection is an isosceles trapezoid. Several wave plates 42 are equidistantly arranged at the upper end of the lifting plate 41 and correspond to the transverse telescope.

[0033] The inner side wall of the through groove 12 is provided with a supporting strip 5 matching the hand washing brush.

[0034] The longitudinal expander includes two elastic suspensions and a cross frame 51. The two elastic suspensions are symmetrically distributed about the central axis of the through groove 12. The elastic suspension includes a frame body 52 and a first spring 53. The frame body 52 is provided with a slide groove 54. The cross frame 51 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 54 of the two frame bodies 52. The first spring 53 is arranged between the upper end of the cross frame 51 and the upper inner wall of the slide groove 54. The transverse expander is arranged on the cross frame 51.

[0035] The transverse telescoping device includes a sliding rod 6, a baffle 61 and a second spring 62. The sliding rod 6 is slidably connected to the cross frame 51 through a guide rib. The baffle 61 is connected to the sliding rod 6 and is located on the side of the sliding rod 6 close to the fixed ring 4. The second spring 62 is sleeved on the sliding rod 6 and is located between the cross frame 51 and the baffle 61. The friction plate 3 is connected to the end of the sliding rod 6 away from the fixed ring 4.

[0036] When the platform 1 rotates, it will drive the detection mechanism to move in a circle around the platform 1. At this time, the longitudinal expander and the transverse expander in the detection mechanism will both perform circular motion at the same time. At this time, when the slide bar 6 in the transverse expander moves along the fixed ring 4 until it abuts against the lifting plate 41, it will be lifted, and the connection between the lifting plate 41 and the fixed ring 4 is chamfered to ensure smooth contact between the components. At this time, as the slide bar 6 is lifted by the lifting plate 41, the cross frame 51 in the longitudinal expander will also be lifted and pushed, and the first spring 53 is compressed to keep it passing through the cross frame 51 so that the slide bar 6 abuts against the lifting plate 41. As the slide bar 6 continues to move until it abuts against the wave plate 42, since the wave plate 42 is an isosceles trapezoidal structure, the slide bar 6 will be abutted by the wave plate 42, causing the slide bar 6 to produce a transverse displacement along the cross frame 51, and then the sponge end of the hand-washing brush is wiped and tested through the friction plate 3 at the end. At the same time, the dial pin set on the pressure plate 2 tests the bristles at the upper end of the hand-washing brush.

[0037] When the slide bar 6 continues to move until the test is completed, the slide bar 6 pushes the lifting plate 41 and the wave plate 42 away from the reset, thereby making the friction plate 3 away from the hand-washing brush, and the state of the surface of the hand-washing brush is judged by the visual detector 21, so as to mark the hand-washing brushes with surface defects for subsequent production diversion. This detection method is efficient and continuous, so that the loading, testing, inspection and diversion of the hand-washing brushes are synchronized, without the need to cause equipment to wait for some processes, effectively improving production efficiency.

[0038] The pressing plate 2 is composed of two interconnected arc pressure lines, the center of which is concentric with the platform 1, and the trajectory of the arc pressure line coincides with the supporting ribs 5 on the front and rear inner walls of the through groove 12; in this way, in conjunction with the protruding part of the base plate of the hand-washing brush, the hand-washing brush can be effectively restricted while reducing the external space volume of the pressing plate 2.

[0039] Example 2: Figure 1-4 As shown, based on the further improvement of Example 1, a brush test group is further provided between the transverse telescope and the platform 1, and the brush test group includes a telescopic rod 7, a connecting frame 71, an upper brush plate 72 and an adapter. The telescopic rod 7 is fixedly arranged on the upper end of the slide rod 6 close to the fixed ring 4, and the platform 1 is provided with a movable groove 73. The connecting frame 71 is slidably arranged in the movable groove 73 and connected to the telescopic rod 7. The upper brush plate 72 is slidably arranged at the lower end of the connecting frame 71, and the adapter is arranged between the upper brush plate 72 and the telescopic rod 7.

[0040] The adapter includes an extension rod 8, a slider 81 and a hinge rod 82. The extension rod 8 is connected to the lower side of the telescopic rod 7. The slider 81 is slidably connected to the connecting frame 71. The two ends of the hinge rod 82 are respectively hinged to the upper end of the slider 81 and the lower end of the upper brush plate 72.

[0041] In order to further improve the test effect of the bristles, during the movement of the sliding rod 6 in the transverse telescopic device, the telescopic rod 7 will be synchronously driven to move, and then the connecting frame 71 will be pushed and pulled by the telescopic rod 7, so that the upper brush plate 72 on the connecting frame 71 performs a friction test on the bristles of the hand washing brush, achieving a more realistic simulation effect;

[0042] In order to avoid the upper brush plate 72 from blocking the hand washing brush or other external parts during the loading and unloading stages, when the slide bar 6 is in contact with the fixing ring 4, the extension rod 8 in the adapter is connected to the fixed section of the telescopic rod 7, and at this time the telescopic rod 7 reaches the maximum extension state, that is, the slide block 81 is pulled downward by the extension rod 8 to reach the lowest point, and through the connection of the hinge rod 82, the slide block 81 will pull the upper brush plate 72 toward the middle of the platform 1 through the hinge rod 82, that is, away from the through slot 12, so as to avoid shielding;

[0043] When the slide bar 6 abuts against the lifting plate 41, the slide bar 6 moves upward, and the fixed section and the telescopic section of the telescopic rod 7 contract with each other, that is, the relative position of the extension rod 8 moves upward, thereby pushing the slider 81 and using the hinge rod 82 to move upward to push the upper brush plate 72 to move toward the side close to the through groove 12, thereby achieving the effect of covering the through groove 12, and maintaining relative stability during the subsequent movement of the slide bar 6 back and forth for testing, so as to achieve the corresponding test effect. At the same time, such a design adapts to the needs of different test stages without the need for manual adjustment and equipment debugging, thereby improving the convenience, flexibility and automation of equipment operation.

[0044] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the technology may modify or change the above embodiments without violating the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical ideas disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
