DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The specific implementation of the bicycle cleaning machine of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] The bicycle cleaning machine of the present invention is used in indoor places such as shopping malls. The indoor places only need to provide power and air sources to work, occupy a small area, and the cleaning process is fast, efficient, simple and convenient.

[0020] See attached Figure 1-4 The bicycle cleaning machine is a rectangular parallelepiped structure with a length and height of about 2 meters and a depth of less than 1 meter, which is convenient for putting in the whole bicycle for cleaning. The cleaning chamber is arranged on the working ground through the roller 17 below, which is convenient for movement.

[0021] A hanger 2 is arranged at the rear side of the bin body 1 of the bicycle cleaning machine for hanging bicycles. The hanger 2 is fixed on the support rod at the rear side of the bin body 1. The hanger 2 is provided with multiple rows of mounting holes so that the mounting height can be changed. The front end of the hanger 2 is a T-shaped hanging head and can form a socket to adapt to different bicycle suspensions.

[0022] A guide plate 3 is arranged at the middle and lower part of the bin body 1, and the guide plate 3 divides the bin body 1 into an upper bin body and a lower bin body. A water outlet 4 is arranged on the guide plate 3. The guide plate 3 is a structure with high surroundings and a low position of the water outlet 4. A water filter tray 5 is also arranged in the upper bin body for placing disassembled bicycle parts.

[0023] The upper warehouse body is provided with a warehouse door 6, which is made of a transparent material or has a transparent observation window 7. The warehouse door 6 is provided with a glove opening 8 and a glove 9 extending into the warehouse body 1, and the upper warehouse body and the warehouse door 6 form a relatively closed space. The warehouse door 6 is a double-opening type, and the glove opening 8 and the glove 9 are symmetrically provided on the two warehouse doors 6.

[0024] The water outlet 4 is connected to a cleaning agent tank 10 arranged below, and a liquid supply pump 11 is also arranged in the lower warehouse body, the liquid supply pump 11 is connected to the electronic control unit, the liquid inlet of the liquid supply pump 11 is connected to the cleaning agent tank 10, and the liquid outlet is connected to the spray gun 12 in the upper warehouse body through a pipeline. A foot switch 13 is arranged on the operator side of the warehouse body 1, and the foot switch 13 is connected to the electronic control unit, and the electronic control unit controls the opening and closing of the liquid supply pump 11.

[0025] A position sensor is provided on the door 6, and the electronic control unit receives the door locking information fed back by the position sensor. When the door 6 is locked, the electronic control unit controls the liquid supply pump 11 to work. When the door 6 is in an open state, the electronic control unit ensures that the liquid injection pump is not started to prevent the spray gun 12 from spraying the cleaning agent out of the warehouse body 1 after the foot switch 13 is accidentally stepped on.

[0026] A slide bar 14 is provided inside the upper compartment body, and the pipeline of the liquid supply pump 11 is slidably provided on the slide bar 14. The pipeline can be hung on the slide bar 14 through a slider, and the pull-out length of the spray gun 12 can be adjusted to facilitate cleaning different positions of the bicycle. For the compartment body 1 operated by two doors and two gloves 9, there are also two spray guns 12, which are respectively provided at the corresponding positions of the two gloves 9, and the two spray guns 12 are connected to the liquid supply pump 11.

[0027] In addition, an air gun 15 is also arranged in the upper warehouse body, and the air gun 15 is connected to an external air source through an air pipe, and the air pipe is also slidably arranged on the sliding rod 14.

[0028] A heating unit is provided in the cleaning agent box 10 , and the heating unit is connected to an electric control unit, and the electric control unit controls the cleaning agent box 10 to maintain a constant temperature of 40° C.-50° C. A liquid level gauge 16 is provided on the cleaning agent box 10 , and the liquid level gauge 16 is located at the front side of the bin body 1 .

[0029] The cleaning agent box 10 is arranged in the space below the lower warehouse body, and a roller 17 is also arranged below the cleaning agent box 10. The liquid supply pump 11 is arranged on the supporting cross bar arranged on the lower warehouse body. The cleaning agent box 10 can be directly pulled out from the bottom to replace the cleaning agent. A small door 18 is also arranged on the lower warehouse body to protect the internal cleaning agent box 10 and the liquid supply pump 11. An observation hole is reserved on the small door 18 corresponding to the position of the liquid level gauge 16 of the cleaning agent box 10.

[0030] When cleaning a bicycle, first heat the cleaning agent in the cleaning box to a constant temperature of 45°C. The equipment can be turned on one hour in advance to control the heating. Fix the bicycle on the hanger 2. If it is a bicycle component, place the component in the water filter tray 5. Close and lock the door 6. Put your hand into the glove 9, step on the foot switch 13, start the liquid supply pump 11, and use the spray gun 12 to rinse the bicycle or components. The liquid supply pump 11 draws cleaning agent from the cleaning agent tank 10 and sends it to the spray gun 12, outputting a liquid flow of 30-40 Bar to clean the bicycle or components. The cleaned liquid flows back to the cleaning agent tank 10 along the guide plate 3. After cleaning, use the air gun 15 to blow the cleaned frame or components. Finally, open the door 6, take out the cleaned bicycle or components, and wipe them dry with a dry cloth if necessary.

[0031] Since the cleaning agent does not contain VOC (volatile organic compounds) and contains antibacterial agents, it can effectively prevent the growth of microorganisms and will not become moldy or smelly after long-term use. Therefore, the returned cleaning agent can be recycled. The cleaning agent tank 10 has a capacity of 100L. When the liquid level is lower than 40L as observed by the liquid level meter 16, or after a certain number of times and time of use, the cleaning agent needs to be replenished or replaced. The small door 18 is opened and the cleaning agent tank 10 is directly pulled out to replace and replenish the cleaning agent.

[0032] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be pointed out that ordinary technicians in this technical field can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
