[0046] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, the container cleaning device of this embodiment includes a body 1, a rod assembly 2, a first cleaning component 3, and a second cleaning component 4.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the fuselage 1 can be L-shaped, and can be vertically arranged and include a horizontally extending crossbeam located at the top of the fuselage 1. In use, the fuselage 1 and its crossbeam can provide a mounting base for subsequent rod assemblies 2, etc.

[0049] One end of the linkage 2 is rotatably assembled to the fuselage 1. For example, the linkage 2 can be a generally rod-shaped structure that extends in the vertical direction. The linkage 2 can be suspended from the front end of the aforementioned crossbeam and can rotate freely relative to the fuselage 1.

[0050] The first cleaning assembly 3 is disposed on the rod assembly 2. The first cleaning assembly 3 includes at least two first cleaning members 31 for cleaning the side walls of the container. The at least two first cleaning members 31 are arranged at circumferential intervals along the rod assembly 2. Each first cleaning member 31 can swing outward to the rod assembly 2 so that the radial dimension of the first cleaning assembly 3 is adjustable.

[0051] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first cleaning assembly 3 may include two first cleaning components 31. Both first cleaning components 31 can be rotatably mounted on the rod assembly 2. The two first cleaning components 31 are generally arranged in a figure-eight shape, and the two first cleaning components 31 are arranged in a roughly mirror-symmetrical manner with respect to the rod assembly 2.

[0052] In use, each first cleaning component 31 can swing relative to the rod assembly 2 in both inward and outward directions and in the up and down directions. This allows the angle between the axes of each first cleaning component 31 and the rod assembly 2 to be adjusted, thereby enabling the adjustment of the overall radial dimension of the first cleaning assembly 3. It should be noted that each first cleaning component 31 can be equipped with a cleaning brush, rubber scraper, or other structures, and these structures can be arranged towards the outer periphery of the rod assembly 2. This allows each first cleaning component 31 to perform cleaning operations on the inner wall of the container as it rotates with the rod assembly 2.

[0053] The second cleaning assembly 4 is located at the other end of the rod assembly 2. The second cleaning assembly 4 includes at least two second cleaning members 41 for cleaning the bottom wall of the container. The at least two second cleaning members 41 are arranged at circumferential intervals along the rod assembly 2. Each second cleaning member 41 can swing outward to the rod assembly 2 so that the radial dimension of the second cleaning assembly 4 is adjustable.

[0054] For example, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second cleaning assembly 4 may include two second cleaning components 41, both of which can be rotatably mounted on the rod assembly 2. The two second cleaning components 41 are also arranged in a figure-eight shape, and are arranged in a roughly mirror-symmetrical manner with respect to the rod assembly 2.

[0055] In use, each second cleaning component 41 can swing relative to the rod assembly 2 in the inward and outward directions and in the up and down directions, thereby adjusting the angle formed by the axes of each second cleaning component 41 and the rod assembly 2, and thus enabling adjustment of the overall radial dimension of the second cleaning assembly 4. It should be noted that each second cleaning component 41 can be equipped with a cleaning brush, rubber scraper, or other structures, and these structures can be arranged in different orientations, so that each second cleaning component 41 can perform cleaning operations on the bottom wall of the container as it rotates with the rod assembly 2.

[0056] At least one of the body 1 and the lever assembly 2 is telescopic, allowing the first cleaning assembly 3 and the second cleaning assembly 4 to extend into or exit the container from the container opening. For example, the body 1 may include two independent parts that can slide relative to each other in the vertical direction, thereby satisfying the need to adjust the vertical position of the first cleaning assembly 3 and the second cleaning assembly 4, and further satisfying the need to insert the lever assembly 2, the first cleaning assembly 3, and the second cleaning assembly 4 into and out of the container.

[0057] In some other embodiments, the height of the body 1 itself may be non-adjustable. In this case, the rod assembly 2 may be designed as a telescopic structure, which can also meet the needs of adjusting the vertical position of the first cleaning assembly 3 and the second cleaning assembly 4.

[0058] The container cleaning device of this invention has a first cleaning component 3 that can clean the inner circumferential wall of the container, and a second cleaning component 4 that can clean the bottom wall of the container, thereby fully meeting the needs of cleaning waste, residue and other materials inside the container.

[0059] Secondly, the first cleaning assembly 3 includes multiple swingable and adjustable first cleaning parts 31, and the second cleaning assembly 4 includes multiple swingable and adjustable second cleaning parts 41, so that the radial dimensions of both the first cleaning assembly 3 and the second cleaning assembly 4 can be adjusted. This allows the rod assembly 2, the first cleaning assembly 3, and the second cleaning assembly 4 to be inserted into a container with a smaller opening by reducing the radial dimensions of the first cleaning assembly 3 and the second cleaning assembly 4, thus facilitating the cleaning operation.

[0060] On the other hand, the radial dimensions of the first cleaning component 3 and the second cleaning component 4 can be adjusted to match the inner diameter of different containers, thereby improving the adaptability to containers of different sizes and meeting the needs of cleaning operations under different working conditions or with different containers.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the container cleaning device includes a first motor 5 located on the body 1, and the first motor 5 can be installed at the front end of the crossbeam of the body 1.

[0062] like Figure 2 As shown, the linkage 2 includes a main rod 21 and a housing 22. One end of the main rod 21 is rotatably assembled with the body 1. The first motor 5 meshes with the main rod 21 and drives the main rod 21 to rotate. For example, the main rod 21 can be a solid rod that extends vertically. The top end of the main rod 21 is rotatably assembled with the crossbeam of the body 1. The drive shaft of the first motor 5 can be equipped with a bevel gear, and the top end of the main rod 21 can also be equipped with a bevel gear. The two bevel gears mesh with each other, so that the main rod 21 can be driven to rotate circumferentially when the first motor 5 rotates.

[0063] The housing 22 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the other end of the main rod 21. The main rod 21 is provided with a sun gear 221. The housing 22 is provided with multiple planetary gears 222 and a gear ring 223. The gear ring 223 is connected to the housing 22. The multiple planetary gears 222 mesh between the sun gear 221 and the gear ring 223. The first cleaning component 3 is assembled on the housing 22 and can rotate synchronously with the housing 22.

[0064] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the housing 22 can be box-shaped, and the top of the housing 22 can have a through hole for the main rod 21 to pass through, such as... Figure 3 As shown, a sun gear 221 can be fixed at the bottom of the main rod 21, and a gear ring 223 can be fixed on the housing 22. The gear ring 223 surrounds the outer periphery of the sun gear 221, and three planetary gears 222 can be assembled between the sun gear 221 and the gear ring 223.

[0065] The first cleaning component 3 can be mounted on the housing 22. When the main rod 21 rotates, the housing 22 can also rotate under the action of the sun gear 221, three planetary gears 222 and the gear ring 223, thereby realizing the rotation drive of the first cleaning component 3.

[0066] It should be noted that by setting the sun gear 221, multiple planetary gears 222 and the gear ring 223, the transmission ratio between the main rod 21 and the housing 22 can be reduced. That is, compared with the main rod 21, the rotation speed of the housing 22 can be lower, thereby avoiding the situation that the rotation speed of the first cleaning component 3 is too high, which is conducive to ensuring the stability of the drive during use.

[0067] In some embodiments, the first cleaning assembly 3 includes a cleaning drive 311, which is assembled in the housing 22. Each first cleaning element 31 passes through the housing 22 and is connected to the cleaning drive 311. The cleaning drive 311 is used to drive at least two first cleaning elements 31 to swing synchronously relative to the main rod 21.

[0068] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning drive 311 can be fixed inside the housing 22, and the cleaning drive 311 can rotate synchronously with the housing 22. When there are two first cleaning components 31, both first cleaning components 31 can be hinged to the housing 22. The cleaning drive 311 can be a telescopic rod, one end of which can be hinged to the top of one first cleaning component 31, and the other end of which can be hinged to the top of the other first cleaning component 31.

[0069] In use, the extension and retraction of the telescopic rod can be used to push or pull the two first cleaning components 31, thereby enabling the synchronous swing adjustment of the opening and closing angles of the two first cleaning components 31.

[0070] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first cleaning component 31 includes a first connecting rod 312 and a cleaning rod 313. One end of the first connecting rod 312 is connected to a cleaning drive 311, and the cleaning drive 311 is used to drive the first connecting rod 312 to swing. For example, as... Figure 3 As shown, the first connecting rod 312 can be straight, and the top end of the first connecting rod 312 can be connected to the cleaning drive 311 mentioned above, thereby satisfying the need to adjust the swing angle of the first cleaning component 31.

[0071] like Figure 3As shown, the cleaning rod 313 can be straight, with its middle part rotatably mounted to the other end of the first connecting rod 312. The cleaning rod 313 is equipped with a first scraper 314 and / or a first cleaning brush for contacting the side wall of the container. In use, the first scraper 314 and the first cleaning brush can directly contact the side wall of the container, and then, under the action of the first motor 5, the side wall of the container can be cleaned.

[0072] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the lever assembly 2 includes a tube 23, a secondary lever 24, a first disc 25, a second disc 26, and a lever drive (not shown).

[0073] The tube body 23 is connected to the housing 22 and extends towards the side of the housing 22 away from the main rod 21. The auxiliary rod 24 is slidably fitted inside the tube body 23. For example, the tube body 23 can be cylindrical, located below the housing 22 and extending vertically. The top end of the tube body 23 can be connected to the housing 22 or the aforementioned cleaning drive 311. The auxiliary rod 24 can be cylindrical, fitted inside the tube body 23, and can slide vertically relative to the tube body 23.

[0074] The first disc 25 is located on the auxiliary rod 24, and the second disc 26 is located on the side of the first disc 25 away from the housing 22 and is spaced apart from the first disc 25. The first disc 25 and the second disc 26 are slidably connected by a connector. The middle part of each second cleaning component 41 is rotatably assembled with the second disc 26, and one end of each second cleaning component 41 is rotatably assembled with the first disc 25.

[0075] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first disc 25 is generally disc-shaped and can be fixed to the bottom end of the auxiliary rod 24, moving up and down synchronously with the sliding of the auxiliary rod 24. The second disc 26 is also generally disc-shaped and can be located on the bottom side of the first disc 25, spaced apart from it. The first disc 25 and the second disc 26 can be connected and fixed by multiple connectors, such as long connecting rods, which can pass through both the first disc 25 and the second disc 26 simultaneously, and the second disc 26 can slide relative to the connectors.

[0076] The top of each second cleaning component 41 can be hinged to the first disc 25, and the middle of each second cleaning component 41 can be hinged to the second disc 26. When the auxiliary rod 24 moves downward, the first disc 25 and the second disc 26 move downward simultaneously. At this time, due to the restraining effect of the bottom wall of the container, the bottom of each second cleaning component 41 is subject to an upward limiting effect, so that the force exerted by the first disc 25 on each second cleaning component 41 is converted into a force that drives each second cleaning component 41 to swing. During this process, the second disc 26 slides along the connecting piece and moves closer to the first disc 25, and each second cleaning component 41 swings outward, thereby satisfying the cleaning requirements of the larger bottom wall of the container.

[0077] It should be noted that the first disc 25 may be provided with a sliding groove, which can extend radially along the first disc 25. The top of each second cleaning component 41 can be hinged in the sliding groove and can slide along the sliding groove, thereby satisfying the problem of avoiding interference at the hinge point during the swinging process of the second cleaning component 41.

[0078] The rod drive is assembled inside the tube body 23 and connected to the auxiliary rod 24. The rod drive is used to push the first disc 25 to drive each second cleaning component 41 to swing synchronously to the outer periphery of the auxiliary rod 24.

[0079] For example, the rod drive can be a linear drive, and the rod drive can be installed inside the tube 23. The rod drive can be directly connected to the auxiliary rod 24. In use, the extension and retraction of the rod drive can drive the auxiliary rod 24 to slide up and down, thereby meeting the adjustment needs of driving each second cleaning component 41 to swing.

[0080] In some embodiments, the lever assembly 2 includes a first elastic element 27, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the sub-lever 24. The first elastic element 27 acts on the first disc 25 and is used to reset the first disc 25 when the lever drive releases the push on the first disc 25 so that at least two second cleaning elements 41 swing toward the sub-lever 24.

[0081] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first elastic element 27 can be a spring. The first elastic element 27 can be assembled between the tube body 23 and the first disc 25. The top end of the first elastic element 27 can be connected to the tube body 23, and the bottom end of the first elastic element 27 can be connected to the first disc 25. When the rod drive releases its pushing action on the auxiliary rod 24, the first elastic element 27 can reset the first disc 25 to its initial position, thus satisfying the need for subsequent swing adjustment of the second cleaning element 41.

[0082] In some embodiments, the second cleaning member 41 includes a second connecting rod 411, a cleaning disc 412, and a second elastic member 413.

[0083] One end of the second connecting rod 411 is rotatably connected to the first disc 25, and the middle part of the second connecting rod 411 is rotatably connected to the second disc 26. For example, as Figure 3 As shown, the second link 411 can be generally a V-shaped bar. The second link 411 can protrude outward from the second disc 26. This bending design of the second link 411 can ensure the full closure of the multiple cleaning discs 412.

[0084] The cleaning disc 412 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the second connecting rod 411. The cleaning disc 412 is provided with a second scraper 414 and / or a second cleaning brush for adhering to the bottom wall of the container. For example, there can be two second connecting rods 411, and correspondingly, there can also be two cleaning discs 412. The two cleaning discs 412 can be provided one-to-one at the bottom end of each second connecting rod 411. The connection between the cleaning disc 412 and the second connecting rod 411 can be hinged, etc. Each cleaning disc 412 can be semi-circular. Under normal conditions, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the two cleaning discs 412 can be combined into a single disc structure, which facilitates passage through the smaller opening of the container.

[0085] One end of the second elastic element 413 is connected to the second connecting rod 411, and the other end of the second elastic element 413 is connected to the cleaning disc 412. For example, the second elastic element 413 can be a spring, the top end of the second elastic element 413 can be hinged to the middle of the second connecting rod 411, and the bottom end of the second elastic element 413 can be hinged to the corresponding cleaning disc 412.

[0086] During use, each cleaning disc 412 deflects under the restraining action of the bottom wall, and the second elastic element 413 enables each cleaning disc 412 to return to its original position. Furthermore, the action of each second elastic element 413 ensures that each cleaning disc 412 remains in a downward orientation, thus guaranteeing full contact with the bottom wall of the container.

[0087] In some embodiments, the rod assembly 2 includes a first magnetic element 28, and each cleaning disc 412 is provided with a second magnetic element 415. Each second magnetic element 415 is magnetically attracted and fixed to the first magnetic element 28 so that the multiple cleaning discs 412 can be gathered and fixed on the outer periphery of the first magnetic element 28.

[0088] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first magnetic component 28 can be a magnet, and the first magnetic component 28 can be installed below the second disk 26 in a rod-like structure. Each cleaning disk 412 can have a second magnetic component 415 fixed on its top side. The second magnetic component 415 can be a magnet or a magnetically conductive component, etc.

[0089] When the lever drive releases the push on the auxiliary lever 24, the cleaning disc 412 can be gathered to the outer periphery of the first magnetic element 28 under the magnetic attraction of the first magnetic element 28 and the second magnetic element 415, thereby realizing the self-reset of each second cleaning element 41.

[0090] In some embodiments, the container cleaning device includes a conduit extending along the body 1 and the rod assembly 2, with an outlet for extending into the container and for delivering cleaning fluid to the container.

[0091] For example, the pipeline can be a flexible hose, which can be laid along the body 1 to the housing 22, and then sprayed out through the liquid outlet on the housing 22, thus meeting the need for supplying cleaning fluid during the cleaning process. It should be noted that a dedicated chamber can be provided inside the housing 22, and the liquid outlet can be located on the chamber wall. The pipeline outlet can be located inside the chamber, and the cleaning fluid can first be transported into the chamber through the pipeline, and then sprayed out through multiple liquid outlets on the chamber.

[0092] In some embodiments, the body 1 includes a base 11, a moving frame 12, a second motor 13, a first limiting member 14, and a second limiting member 15.

[0093] The sidewalls of the base 11 are provided with a first elongated groove 112 and a second elongated groove 113 located on different sides of the base 11. For example, as Figure 1 As shown, the base 11 can generally be a square tube structure. The bottom end of the base 11 can be sealed by a base plate, etc., and multiple triangular reinforcing ribs can be provided between the chassis and the base 11. Figure 1 As shown, the first elongated groove 112 can be disposed on the right side wall of the base 11, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the second long groove 113 can be provided on the rear side wall of the base 11, and both the first long groove 112 and the second long groove 113 can extend in the vertical direction.

[0094] The movable frame 12 is slidably assembled in the base 11. The movable frame 12 is provided with a rack 121 and multiple rollers 122. The rack 121 is arranged opposite to the first long groove 112, and the multiple rollers 122 are rolled in the second long groove 113. The rod group 2 is assembled at the free end of the movable frame 12.

[0095] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the movable frame 12 is generally L-shaped and includes a vertical section and a horizontal section. The horizontal section is the aforementioned crossbeam, and the free end of the movable frame 12 is the front end of the horizontal section. The vertical section can be inserted and assembled into the base 11, and the vertical section can slide up and down relative to the base 11. The rack 121 can be fixed to the right side of the movable frame 12. The rack 121 can extend in the vertical direction and can protrude from the aforementioned first elongated slot 112.

[0096] like Figure 4 As shown, the movable frame 12 is equipped with multiple rollers 122 via pins or the like, and the rollers 122 can be arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. The rollers 122 can fit into the second elongated groove 113. In use, the rollers 122 can roll within the second elongated groove 113, thereby ensuring the stability of the relative sliding movement between the movable frame 12 and the base 11.

[0097] like Figure 1 As shown, the second motor 13 is mounted on the base 11. A mounting plate 111 can be welded to the front side of the base 11. The second motor 13 can be fixed to the mounting plate 111 by screws or other fasteners. The drive shaft of the second motor 13 is equipped with a drive gear 131, which meshes with the rack 121. In use, the second motor 13 can drive the drive gear 131 to rotate, thereby realizing the up-and-down drive of the rack 121 and the moving frame 12.

[0098] like Figure 1 As shown, a first limiting member 14 is disposed on the base 11, and the first limiting member 14 is used to abut against the movable frame 12 to limit the displacement of the movable frame 12 extending out of the base 11. A second limiting member 15 is disposed on the movable frame 12, and the movable frame 12 is used to abut against the base 11 to limit the displacement of the movable frame 12 retracting into the base 11, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the relative sliding of the movable frame 12 and the base 11 and preventing the movable frame 12 from detaching during use. Optionally, both the first limiting member 14 and the second limiting member 15 can be limiting springs, etc.

[0099] In some embodiments, each corner of the base 11 can be a rounded structure, which can eliminate stress concentration and ensure the overall structural strength of the base 11.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the top of the auxiliary rod 24 can be connected to the rod drive through two universal joints 29. The universal joints 29 meet the needs of force transmission on the one hand, and on the other hand, when the universal joints 29 extend out of the tube body 23, the deflection angle of the second cleaning component 4 can also be adjusted, further improving the flexibility of operation.
