The circular vertical rod drives the limiting rod to move upward through the circular plate. When the cleaning component moves to the highest part of the chute, the first elastic member in the limiting rod pushes the limiting rod into the limiting hole to limit the circular plate, so that the cleaning component rising to the top always maintains a certain height, and it is moved away through the driving component, thus not affecting the use of the color sorter. This method eliminates the need to install a power device to lift the cleaning device, reducing the manufacturing cost of the equipment. Description of the Drawings

Detailed Embodiments
[0028] The following specific examples illustrate the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand the other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
[0029] After cleaning the chute, the existing chute cleaning device needs to be lifted by a power device to separate it from the chute to prevent the cleaning device from affecting the use of the color sorter. Although the power device can lift the cleaning device, this method greatly increases the manufacturing cost of the equipment.
[0030] To resolve this issue, see Figure 1-6 A color sorter chute cleaning device includes: a mounting frame 10 disposed on the chute, a cleaning assembly 40 fixedly disposed on the end of a round upright 23 away from a cylinder 22, a connecting assembly 20, and a driving assembly 30 disposed on the lower end surface of the mounting frame 10;
[0031] A top rod 11 is provided on the inner wall of one side of the mounting frame 10, and the connecting assembly 20 includes a support frame 21, a cylinder 22 is fixed on the support frame 21, and a round vertical rod 23 that can move up and down is penetrated at the bottom of the cylinder 22, a circular plate 24 is slidably provided in the cylinder 22, and a limiting hole 25 is fixed on one side of the cylinder 22, a moving groove 26 is opened in the circular plate 24, and a limiting rod 27 is slidably provided in the moving groove 26, and a first elastic member 28 is fixed on the inner wall of the moving groove 26, and the end of the first elastic member 28 away from the inner wall of the moving groove 26 is fixedly connected to the limiting rod 27, and a driving assembly 30 is used to drive the support frame 21 to move back and forth in a straight line;
[0032] When cleaning, the driving assembly 30 moves to one end, and the limiting rod 27 inside the circular plate 24 is inserted into the limiting hole 25. When circulating, the driving assembly 30 moves back until the top rod 11 hits the limiting rod 27, driving the limiting rod 27 to disengage from the limiting hole 25, so that the cleaning assembly 40 contacts the chute wall again.
[0033] During use, start the driving component 30. The driving component 30 drives the cleaning component 40 to move towards the lowest point of the chute through the connecting component 20. When the driving component 30 moves to the lowest point of the chute, the ejector rod 11 inserts into the limiting hole 25, and pushes the limiting rod 27 to move into the moving groove 26, and compresses the first elastic member 28. When the limiting rod 27 disengages from the limiting hole 25, due to the self-weight of the cleaning component 40, the circular vertical rod 23 descends, and the circular vertical rod 23 drives the circular plate 24 to move downward. The circular plate 24 drives the limiting rod 27 to move downward through the moving groove 26. At this time, the end of the limiting rod 27 abuts against the inner wall of the cylinder 22 until the cleaning component 40 descends to the same height as the lowest point of the chute and stops. The driving component 30 drives the cleaning component 40 to move towards the highest point of the chute. When moving, the cleaning component 40 will gradually move upward due to the inclined plane of the chute. When the cleaning component 40 moves to the highest point of the chute, at this time, the cleaning component 40 drives the circular plate 24 to reach the highest point through the circular vertical rod 23. At this time, the limiting rod 27 in the circular plate 24 and the limiting hole 25 are at the same height. The first elastic member 28 pushes the limiting rod 27 out of the moving groove 26, so that the limiting rod 27 inserts into the limiting hole 25 to limit it, so that the cleaning component 40 will not descend due to its own gravity when detaching from the chute. Then, the driving component 30 removes the cleaning component 40 from the chute, so that it will not affect the reuse of the color sorter.
[0034] In a specific implementation process, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the cleaning component 40 includes a housing 41 and a U-shaped hanging strip 42. The U-shaped hanging strip 42 is in contact with the inner wall of the chute. The U-shaped hanging strip 42 is fixedly provided on the front side of the housing 41.
[0035] During use, when cleaning the chute, lower the cleaning component 40 to a relative height at the lowest point of the chute. When the moving component 30 drives it to move, the U-shaped hanging strip 42 scrapes off the dust and debris adhering to the inner wall of the chute and collects the sundries into the housing 41, and cleans the chute through the U-shaped hanging strip 42.
[0036] In a specific implementation process, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, at least one vertical plate 43 is fixedly provided in the housing 41. A cavity 44 is formed in the vertical plate 43. A roller 45 that rotates along its own axis is provided in the cavity 44. A gear set 46 is provided in the cavity 44. A circular rod 47 that rotates along its own axis is provided in the housing 41. The output end of the gear set forty-six is drivably connected to the roller 45, the output end of the gear set 46 is drivably connected to the circular rod 47, and a brush 48 is fixedly provided on the circular rod 47.
[0037] When the cleaning component 40 is cleaning, at this time, the roller 45 contacts the inner wall of the chute. When the cleaning component 40 moves, it drives the roller 45 to rotate. The roller 45 drives the round rod 47 to rotate through the gear set 46, and the round rod 47 drives the brush 48 to rotate, sweeping the sundries scraped off by the U-shaped hanging strip 42 into the housing 41 for collection. Through the coordinated use of multiple gears in the gear set 46, the rotation speed of the brush 48 is increased. At the same time, when the roller 45 rotates one circle, the number of rotations of the brush 48 is more than that of the roller 45, so that the brush 48 has sufficient rotation speed when sweeping the sundries inward.
[0038] In the specific implementation process, as Figure 5 shown, a second elastic member 221 is fixedly provided at the top inside the cylinder 22. The bottom of the second elastic member 221 is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the round plate 24. A damping rod 222 is fixedly provided inside the cylinder 22. The piston rod end of the damping rod 222 is fixedly connected to the top of the round plate 24.
[0039] When the cleaning component 40 fits with the inner wall of the chute for cleaning, the second elastic member 221 is squeezed downward. Through the round plate 24, the round vertical rod 23 has a downward thrust. The round vertical rod 23 pushes the U-shaped hanging strip 42 of the cleaning component 40 to always fit the inner wall of the chute, making the cleaning cleaner. For the damping rod 222, when the cleaning component 40 descends under the action of gravity and the thrust of the second elastic member 221, the descending speed is slowed down through the damping rod 222, and it slowly and smoothly descends to the lowest part of the chute.
[0040] In the specific implementation process, as Figure 2 shown, the mounting bracket 10 includes at least a pair of support plates 12 and a top plate 13. The support plates 12 are connected to the outer wall of the chute, and the top plate 13 is fixedly provided at the top of the support plates 12. Lower hanging plates 14 are respectively fixedly provided on both sides of the bottom of the top plate 13.
[0041] During use, the mounting bracket 10 is connected to the chute through the support plates 12 and supports the top plate 13. The driving component is installed and fixed through the top plate 13.
[0042] In the specific implementation process, as Figure 2 shown, the driving component 30 is a rodless cylinder. The rodless cylinder is fixedly provided on the lower end surface of the top plate 13. The rodless cylinder is located between a pair of lower hanging plates 14 and is perpendicular to them. The bottom of the driving slider of the rodless cylinder is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the support frame 21.
[0043] Rodless cylinders are a state-of-the-art technology. A set of high-strength permanent magnets is mounted on the piston. These magnets travel through the thin-walled cylinder barrel and interact with another set of magnets in the outer slider. Due to the opposing magnetic properties of the two magnets, they exert a strong attraction. When the piston is pushed by air pressure within the cylinder barrel, the piston moves, and the magnets in the outer slider are simultaneously affected by the piston's magnetic field lines, moving synchronously, thereby driving the connecting assembly 20 along with it.
[0044] In the specific implementation process, Figure 2 Figure 5 As shown, a controller 15 is fixedly provided on opposite sides of a pair of lower hanging plates 14 , and at least one cross bar 16 is fixedly provided between the pair of lower hanging plates 14 , and the cross bar 16 is slidably connected to the support frame 21 .
[0045] The controller 15 on the lower hanging plate 14 controls the moving direction of the rodless cylinder. When the slider of the rodless cylinder drives the connecting component 20 to move to the end of one side, the connecting component 20 will hit the controller 15 on that side. The controller 15 controls the slider on the rodless cylinder to move, thereby driving the connecting component 20 to move back. The cross bar 16 and the support frame 21 can be more stable when moving.
[0046] In the specific implementation process, Figure 2 Figure 3 As shown, a stabilizing rod 211 that can move up and down is provided through the bottom of the support frame 21 , the bottom of the stabilizing rod 211 is fixedly connected to the top of the shell 41 , and a collection box 49 is inserted into the rear side of the shell 41 .
[0047] During use, the stabilizing rod 211 makes the rising and falling of the cleaning assembly 40 more stable, and the collection box 49 collects the debris swept into the shell 41 by the brush 48, making cleaning more convenient. You only need to pull the collection box 49 out from the back side of the shell 41 and pour out the debris inside.
[0048] In the specific implementation process, Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the limiting rod 27 passes through the movable groove 26 , and the end of the push rod 11 is aligned with the opening of the limiting hole 25 .
[0049] When in use, the limiting rod 27 passes through the moving groove 26 so that when it moves to the limiting hole 25, the limiting rod 27 can pass through the moving groove 26 and be inserted into the limiting hole 25 for limiting. The end of the push rod 11 is aligned with the orifice of the limiting hole 25, so that when the cylinder 22 drives the limiting hole 25 to move toward the push rod 11, it can be inserted into the limiting hole 25, and the limiting rod 27 can be pushed out from the limiting hole 25.
[0050] In the specific implementation process, Figure 4 As shown, the round rod 47 passes through the cavity 44 , and the cavity 44 passes through the bottom of the shell 41 .
[0051] When in use, the round rod 47 passes through the cavity 44, so that the output end of the gear set 46 inside the cavity 44 can be connected to the round rod 47, and the cavity 44 passes through the bottom of the shell 41 so that the roller 45 can fit with the bottom of the slide groove, so that the cleaning component 40 can drive the roller 45 to rotate when moving.
