Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of sweeper accessories processing, in particular to a hair scalding device. Background Art

[0002] A robot vacuum, also known as an automatic sweeper, smart vacuum, or robot vacuum cleaner, is a type of smart home appliance that uses artificial intelligence to automatically clean floors. It typically uses a brushing and vacuuming method to collect debris into its own trash collection bin, completing the cleaning process.

[0003] The bristles on a robot vacuum cleaner primarily collect debris, comb the floor, handle hair, and remove fine dust. Specifically, the bristles tap and comb the floor, drawing debris like dust, hair, and paper scraps into the drum for a thorough clean. The bristles can also comb dust and fine debris from carpet fibers or floor crevices.

[0004] For some areas with thicker dirt layers, hard bristles are needed to clean them. Therefore, in the process of preparing hard bristles, a hair scalding device is needed.

[0005] In the prior art, the hair scalding equipment is a linear hair scalding conveying equipment. After the hair scalding is completed, the jig needs to be recovered to the feed end. Manual recovery of the jig is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0006] If all the bristles of the cluster brush are made hard, they will cause some damage to the floor. However, the cluster brush has hard bristles only at the periphery, which can reduce the damage to the floor.

[0045] The hair scalding equipment further comprises an opening and closing mechanism 6, a conveying line 8, a hair scalding device 7, and a power-on mechanism. The hair scalding device 7 comprises:

[0046] The convex structural outer frame has an open top and bendable corners.

[0047] The flexible heat-conducting portion 71 is mounted on the convex structure outer frame and has a hair clipping groove that is connected to the top opening of the convex structure outer frame. A heating wire is arranged inside the flexible heat-conducting portion 71;

[0048] Two electrode columns 72 are fixed to the top of the convex structure outer frame through cylindrical insulating members and are located on both sides of the opening. The two electrode columns 72 are connected to the heating wire.

[0049] The opening and closing mechanism 6 is fixed to the lower end of the connecting shaft 4 through a locking member 5; the opening and closing mechanism 6 includes:

[0050] A clamping cylinder 63, one side of which is connected to the locking member 5, and the telescopic rods at both ends of the clamping cylinder 63 are respectively connected to the inner clamping blocks 62;

[0051] Two outer clamping blocks 61 are installed one-to-one on the two inner clamping blocks 62 , and the clamping openings of the two outer clamping blocks 61 are opposite to each other.

[0052] The clamping cylinder 63 drives the two outer clamping blocks 61 to move toward and in opposite directions. The two outer clamping blocks 61 drive the two outer clamping blocks 61 to move toward each other, which is a clamping action.

[0053] A conveyor line 8 having an annular runway structure, wherein the conveyor line 8 is provided with an annular chain conveyor belt, wherein the upper surface of the chain conveyor belt is provided with a plurality of equally spaced bases 9, wherein the bases 9 have an openable and closable clamping mechanism;

[0054] The hair scalding device 7 is detachably mounted on the clamping mechanism one-to-one;

[0055] The power-on mechanism comprises a lifting device and a power-on device 11 drivingly connected to the lifting device, and the moving track of the hair-scalding device 7 can pass directly under the power-on device 11. Two electrode plugs are provided at the lower end of the power-on device 11.

[0056] The power source of the lifting device is a lifting cylinder 10, which is fixed on a bracket. A vertical guide rail 12 is provided on one side of the bracket. The vertical guide rail 12 is slidably connected to the power-on device 11, and the upper end of the power-on device 11 is connected to the drive shaft of the lifting cylinder 10.

[0057] Example 2:

[0058] The following is the working principle of the scalding device of the present invention:

[0059] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the length of the conveyor line 8 of the circular runway structure of the present invention is 1.5-2 mm, and the chain conveyor belt thereon is provided with 6-8 bases 9, which are equidistantly distributed, and each base is provided with a clamping mechanism.

[0060] The scalding device 7 of the present invention has various specifications. The lower end structure and size of the scalding devices of different specifications are the same and can be clamped by the clamping mechanism. The difference between the scalding devices of different specifications is that the grooves of the hair clamping grooves are different in size. The hair clamping grooves of different sizes can clamp the cluster brushes of different diameters.

[0061] The present invention has a feeding device, which is arranged at the feeding position of the bundled bristles. When the empty scalding device 7 runs to the feeding position of the bundled bristles, the feeding device clamps the bundled bristles into the bristle clamping groove. The chain conveyor conveys the scalding device 7 with the bundled bristles to the scalding station and stops.

[0062] At this point, the multi-axis manipulator 3 drives the opened opening and closing mechanism 6 to clamp the scalding device 7, tightening the clustered bristles. The lifting cylinder 10 drives the power-on device 11 downward, causing the two electrode plugs on the power-on device 11 to align with the two electrode posts 72 on the scalding device and press down. The two electrode posts 72 are inserted into the two electrode plugs, the circuit is turned on, and the heating wire works. When the heating wire works, it generates a large amount of heat, which is transferred to the clustered bristles through the flexible heat-conducting portion 71, causing the outer ring of the clustered bristles to harden due to the heat.

[0063] After the hair is scalded, the lifting cylinder 10 drives the two electrode plugs upward, withdrawing the two electrode plugs 72 and de-energizing the heating wire. The opening and closing mechanism 6 opens the two outer clamps 61. The chain conveyor rotates an angle, allowing the bundled hair to reach the unloading station, where the retrieving robot removes the bundled hair.

[0064] The above action cycle can continuously perm the clustered bristles and improve the perm efficiency.

[0065] In summary, the scalding equipment of the present invention is designed as a circular runway structure, which allows the scalding device to work uninterruptedly, eliminating the need for manual recovery jigs and improving production efficiency. The present invention cleverly uses a scalding device, and the scalding device is provided with a bristle clamping groove, which can shape the bristles around the clustered bristles into hard bristles, while the bristles inside the clustered bristles are flexible. Therefore, while meeting the requirements of cleaning the floor, it can also reduce floor damage.

Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
