Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wide vermicelli production and processing, and particularly to an elevator for wide vermicelli processing. Background Art

[0002] During the processing of wide vermicelli, raw materials usually need to be made into a viscous paste for subsequent production and processing. These raw materials mainly include high-quality sweet potatoes, beans, and starch, etc. Due to the requirements of the production process, this viscous raw material needs to be transported to a vibrating feeding table at a higher position. In this process, a screw elevator becomes a key conveying device.

[0003] However, using a screw elevator to transport viscous wide vermicelli raw materials also brings some challenges. First of all, due to the viscosity of the raw materials, it is easy to adhere to the shaft wall, pipe wall, and screw feeding plate of the elevator. This adhesion phenomenon will gradually accumulate over time, resulting in a decrease in the conveying efficiency of the raw materials, and at the same time, it will also have an adverse impact on the normal operation of the screw blades. For example, the raw materials adhering to the screw blades will increase the friction between the blades and the pipe wall, thereby accelerating the wear of the equipment.

[0004] Secondly, the housing of the screw elevator is usually a semi-closed structure, and the internal space is divided into multiple parts by screw blades, which makes it difficult for cleaning tools to enter the equipment for comprehensive cleaning. Traditional cleaning methods often require frequent disassembly of the equipment, increasing the maintenance cost and labor intensity, and at the same time, it may also cause damage to the equipment.

[0005] In the prior art (202410390903.9 A screw elevator for wide vermicelli processing), the internal part of the screw elevator is cleaned by adding a high-pressure nozzle in the cylinder, but there are the following problems:

[0006] 1. During the switching process between the cleaning operation and the feeding operation mode, although there is a mode control component, improper operation may lead to incomplete switching, affecting the normal operation of the equipment

[0007] 2. The structure of this elevator is complex, including multiple components and moving parts, such as the first sliding frame, the second sliding frame, the threaded collar, etc. The cooperation requirements between these parts are high, increasing the risk of equipment failure. Once a certain part has a problem, it may cause the entire equipment to fail to work properly. The complex structure makes the maintenance and repair of the equipment difficult and requires professional personnel to operate, increasing the maintenance cost and equipment downtime;

[0008] 3. Although an automatic cleaning function is designed, the cleaning process may take a certain amount of time, affecting production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In order to solve the technical problems of the existing elevator for wide vermicelli processing, which has a complex structure and an unstable working state, the present invention provides an elevator for wide vermicelli processing.

[0010] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

[0011] An elevator for wide vermicelli processing provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a frame, an outer cylinder, a spiral feeding member, a rotating motor, a feeding hopper, a cleaning device, a feeding mechanism, and a recycling mechanism. The outer cylinder and the rotating motor are both fixedly installed on the frame. The spiral feeding member is installed inside the outer cylinder. One end of the spiral feeding member is fixedly connected to the power output end of the rotating motor through a rotating shaft. The feeding hopper is fixedly installed at the feeding port of the outer cylinder. A plurality of cleaning devices are placed in the feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism is fixedly installed on the feeding hopper. The recycling mechanism is fixedly installed at the discharging port of the outer cylinder.

[0012] The cleaning device includes a housing, a vibration mechanism, and a heating mechanism. The vibration mechanism and the heating mechanism are fixedly installed in the housing. The vibration mechanism transmits vibration to the housing, and the heating mechanism transmits heat to the housing. The cross-sectional contour shape of the housing is the same as the cross-sectional contour shape of the spiral channel in the spiral feeding member. When the cleaning device enters the spiral channel, the cleaning device and the spiral channel are in clearance fit.

[0013] The beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present invention at least include:

[0014] In the present invention, the cleaning device combines a vibration mechanism and a heating mechanism, which can effectively remove the residual materials on the inner wall of the spiral feeding member. Vibration makes the adhered wide vermicelli raw materials loosen and fall off, and heating reduces their viscosity, accelerating the cleaning, improving the cleaning efficiency and quality, reducing the maintenance time. The cross-sectional shape of the housing of the cleaning device is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the spiral channel, and they are in clearance fit. This design ensures that the cleaning device can reach every corner of the spiral channel, without cleaning dead corners, and can clean comprehensively and thoroughly. The cleaning device is added through the feeding mechanism, without disassembling the components of the elevator, simplifying the maintenance process, reducing the labor intensity, and improving the equipment management efficiency. The use of the cleaning device can quickly clean during the production process, reduce the downtime, improve the production efficiency, ensure the stability of the quality of wide vermicelli, effectively remove the residual materials, prevent the equipment from being corroded or damaged due to long-term adhesion, and at the same time reduce the mechanical failures caused by material residues, thereby prolonging the service life of the elevator, reducing the equipment renewal cost, efficient cleaning and maintenance reduce resource waste, such as water and electricity, and at the same time reduce the production delays and defective product rates caused by equipment failures, thereby reducing the production cost and improving the economic benefits.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides an elevator for wide noodle processing, including: a frame 1, an outer cylinder 2, a spiral feeding member 3, a rotating motor 4, a feeding hopper 5, a cleaning device 6, a feeding mechanism, and a recycling mechanism 8. The outer cylinder 2 and the rotating motor 4 are both fixedly installed on the frame 1. The spiral feeding member 3 is installed inside the outer cylinder 2. One end of the spiral feeding member 3 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the rotating motor 4 through a rotating shaft. The feeding hopper 5 is fixedly installed at the feeding port of the outer cylinder 2. A plurality of cleaning devices 6 are placed in the feeding mechanism. The feeding mechanism is fixedly installed on the feeding hopper 5. The recycling mechanism 8 is fixedly installed at the discharging port of the outer cylinder 2;

[0031] The cleaning device 6 includes a housing 61, a power supply component 62, a vibration mechanism 63, and a heating mechanism 64. The vibration mechanism 63 and the heating mechanism 64 are fixedly installed in the housing 61. The power supply component 62 provides power for the vibration mechanism 63 and the heating mechanism 64. The vibration mechanism 63 transmits vibration to the housing 61, and the heating mechanism 64 transmits heat to the housing 61. The cross-sectional contour shape of the housing 61 is the same as the cross-sectional contour shape of the spiral channel in the spiral feeding member 3. When the cleaning device 6 enters the spiral channel, the cleaning device 6 and the spiral channel are in clearance fit.

[0032] In a possible implementation manner, the outer cylinder 2 and the rotating motor 4 of the elevator are both installed on the frame 1 to ensure the stability of the entire device. The spiral feeding member 3 is located inside the outer cylinder 2 and is connected to the power output end of the rotating motor 4 through a rotating shaft at one end to ensure the efficient operation of the spiral feeding member 3.

[0033] The cleaning device 6 is composed of a housing 61, a power supply component 62, a vibration mechanism 63, and a heating mechanism 64. The vibration mechanism 63 and the heating mechanism 64 are fixed inside the housing 61, and the power supply component 62 provides necessary power support. The vibration mechanism 63 transmits vibration to the housing 61 to loosen and detach the wide noodle raw materials adhering to the inner wall of the spiral feeding member 3. The heating mechanism 64 reduces the viscosity of the material by providing heat, making it easier to remove. The dual effects of vibration and heating greatly improve the cleaning efficiency and quality.

[0034] The shape of the housing 61 of the cleaning device 6 is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the spiral channel of the spiral feeding member 3, and the cleaning device 6 and the spiral channel are in clearance fit. When the cleaning device 6 enters the spiral channel, due to its adaptability, it can penetrate into every corner of the spiral channel to ensure that there are no cleaning dead corners and achieve a comprehensive and thorough cleaning effect.

[0035] The feeding mechanism sends the cleaning device 6 into the feeding hopper 5, eliminating the need to disassemble any elevator components, simplifying the cleaning operation, reducing the manual labor intensity, and improving the equipment management efficiency. The recycling mechanism 8 is installed at the discharging port of the outer cylinder 2 and is used to recycle the materials that fall off during the cleaning process.

[0036] This design has multiple advantages. First, the cleaning device 6 combines vibration and heating functions, effectively removing residual materials and preventing equipment corrosion or damage caused by long-term adhesion of materials. Second, the cleaning device 6 can be quickly cleaned during the production process, reducing downtime, thereby improving production efficiency and ensuring the stability of product quality. Third, since there is no need to disassemble equipment components, the maintenance process is simplified, the occurrence of equipment failures is reduced, the service life of the elevator is extended, and the equipment replacement cost is reduced. Finally, the efficient cleaning process reduces resource waste such as water and electricity, and at the same time reduces production delays and defective product rates caused by equipment failures, significantly reducing production costs and improving economic benefits.

[0037] In this embodiment, a number of protrusions 65 are provided on the outer surface of the housing 61. The protrusions 65 are made of elastic material, and transmission parts are movably installed inside the protrusions 65. The maximum height of the protrusions 65 is less than or equal to the size of the gap between the housing 61 and the spiral channel.

[0038] The vibration mechanism 63 includes at least one horizontal-axis rotor motor and one vertical-axis rotor motor. The horizontal-axis rotor motor is fixedly connected to the transmission parts in the protrusions 65 on the upper and lower surfaces of the housing 61, and the vertical-axis rotor motor is fixedly connected to the transmission parts in the protrusions 65 on the left and right surfaces of the housing 61.

[0039] In a possible implementation manner, a number of protrusions 65 are designed on the outer surface of the housing 61 of the cleaning device 6, and part of the protrusions 65 are made of elastic material, with transmission parts movably installed inside. The main purpose of this design is to optimize the vibration transmission effect and at the same time improve the moving performance of the cleaning device 6 in the spiral channel.

[0040] Specifically, the protrusions 65 on the outer surface of the housing 61 are made of elastic material to ensure good adaptability when the cleaning device 6 enters the spiral channel. A movable transmission part is installed inside each protrusion 65, which can generate corresponding movements along with the operation of the vibration mechanism 63. The maximum height of the protrusions 65 is set to be less than or equal to the gap between the housing 61 and the spiral channel. This design ensures that the cleaning device 6 can smoothly enter the spiral channel and at the same time effectively reduce the friction with the spiral channel during the cleaning process, ensuring the smooth movement of the cleaning device 6.

[0041] The vibration mechanism 63 includes at least one horizontal-axis rotor motor and one vertical-axis rotor motor, and the two motors are respectively connected to the transmission parts of different parts of the housing 61. The horizontal-axis rotor motor is fixedly connected to the transmission parts on the upper and lower surfaces of the housing 61 and the protrusions 65, and the vertical-axis rotor motor is fixedly connected to the transmission parts in the protrusions 65 on the left and right sides of the housing 61. Through the vibration in these two directions, the vibration force can be effectively transmitted to the cleaning device 6, thereby enhancing its cleaning effect. Since there is a gap between the protrusions 65 and the spiral channel, the acting force generated by the vibration will not be overly offset, and the friction caused by excessive contact is effectively reduced.

[0042] By transmitting the vibration source to multiple parts of the housing 61 through the transmission parts of the horizontal axis and the vertical axis respectively, it can ensure that the vibration force acts fully and evenly on the entire outer surface of the cleaning device 6, and then more effectively loosen and shed the materials in the spiral channel. The design of the protrusions 65 makes the movement of the cleaning device 6 in the spiral channel smoother, reduces the contact area with the spiral channel, thereby reducing the friction force, and avoiding the situation that the cleaning device 6 gets stuck or operates poorly due to excessive friction. By reducing the friction with the spiral channel, the cleaning device 6 can more flexibly enter into every corner of the spiral channel, ensuring the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of the cleaning. During the cleaning process, the vibration can quickly loosen and remove the material residues adhering to the inner wall of the spiral feeding part 3, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and quality. By reducing the friction, excessive wear is avoided, thereby effectively extending the service life of the equipment. At the same time, the material adhesion is reduced, and the risks of equipment corrosion and failure are reduced.

[0043] The design of the protrusions 65 not only enhances the vibration effect and improves the cleaning efficiency, but also ensures the smooth movement of the cleaning device 6 by reducing the friction, thereby improving the stability, durability and maintenance efficiency of the equipment, providing a reliable guarantee for the long-term stable operation of the elevator.

[0044] In this embodiment, the recovery mechanism 8 includes a receiving net 81 and a net frame 82, wherein the receiving net 81 is fixedly installed in the net frame 82, and the net frame 82 is detachably installed below the discharge port of the outer cylinder 2;

[0045] The cleaning device 6 further includes an induction switch 65, and the recovery mechanism 8 further includes an induction source. The induction source is fixedly installed in the net frame 82. When the induction switch 65 receives the signal of the induction source, the power supply component 62 in the cleaning device 6 is turned off, and the power supply to the vibration mechanism 63 and the heating mechanism 64 is stopped.

[0046] In a possible implementation, the recycling mechanism 8 is composed of a receiving net 81 and a net frame 82. The receiving net 81 is installed and fixed in the net frame 82, and the net frame 82 is installed below the discharge port of the outer cylinder 2 in a detachable manner. The main function of the receiving net 81 is to collect loose materials or impurities during the cleaning process and is supported and fixed by the net frame 82 to ensure that the materials are effectively collected and not randomly leaked. The detachable design of the net frame 82 makes the maintenance of the entire cleaning system more convenient. The user can quickly disassemble and clean the recycled materials, which also helps with easy maintenance or replacement of components.

[0047] In this cleaning device 6, the cooperation between the induction switch 65 and the induction source plays a role in safety control. The induction source is fixedly installed in the net frame 82, and the induction switch 65 is arranged in the power supply system of the cleaning device 6. When the induction switch 65 receives the signal emitted by the induction source, it triggers the power management system to turn off the power components 62 in the cleaning device 6. Through this mechanism, the cleaning device 6 can immediately cut off the power when certain special situations occur in the recycling mechanism 8 (such as improper installation of the net frame 82, detachment of the receiving net 81, etc.), stop supplying power to the vibration mechanism 63 and the heating mechanism 64, and avoid potential damage caused by the equipment continuing to operate due to faults or abnormal situations.

[0048] Through the combined use of the induction switch 65 and the induction source, the recycling mechanism 8 not only improves the safety and intelligence level of the cleaning device 6, but also effectively saves energy, improves the operation efficiency, and brings a more convenient and efficient user experience.

[0049] In this embodiment, a large hollow interlayer is provided in the cylinder wall of the outer cylinder 2. The length of the large hollow interlayer is less than the height of the outer cylinder 2, and the length of the large hollow interlayer is greater than or equal to two-thirds of the height of the outer cylinder 2. A number of through holes are provided on the inner surface of the outer cylinder 2. The through holes connect the large hollow interlayer with the inner space of the outer cylinder 2. One-way spray nozzles 23 are fixedly installed on all the through holes. A water injection through hole 22 is provided on the outer side surface of the outer cylinder 2. The water injection through hole 22 connects the large hollow interlayer with the water injection pipeline. When the water injection pipeline starts to inject water, the water flows out from the one-way spray nozzles 23 through the large hollow interlayer.

[0050] In a possible implementation, the outer cylinder 2 is designed with a large hollow interlayer structure and is equipped with a water injection pipeline, a water injection through hole 22, through holes, and one-way spray nozzles 23, forming an efficient water flow circulation system for the purpose of realizing an automated cleaning function.

[0051] Specifically, a large hollow interlayer is provided in the barrel wall of the outer barrel 2. The length of this interlayer is less than the height of the outer barrel 2 and greater than or equal to one-third of the height of the outer barrel 2, which ensures that the large hollow interlayer has enough space to store water. The large hollow interlayer is connected to the inner space of the outer barrel 2 through through-holes, ensuring that water can flow in the interlayer and distribute outward. This design enables the water flow to evenly flow outward to the inner side of the outer barrel 2 through the through-holes, playing a role in thorough cleaning.

[0052] One-way nozzles 23 are installed on all the through-holes. The function of the one-way nozzles 23 is to ensure that the water flow is sprayed only in one direction. When the water injection pipe starts to inject water, the water enters the large hollow interlayer from the water injection pipe and then sprays out through the one-way nozzles 23. This design can ensure that the water flow direction and flow rate are effectively controlled, avoid waste of water flow, and can accurately wash the inner wall of the outer barrel 2.

[0053] Water injection through-holes 22 are provided on the outer side surface of the outer barrel 2. The water injection through-holes 22 are connected to the water injection pipe. When the water injection pipe starts to inject water, the water flow enters the large hollow interlayer through the water injection through-holes 22. After the large hollow interlayer stores a certain amount of water, the water is sprayed out through the through-holes and the one-way nozzles 23 to achieve the cleaning effect. Through the distribution of the large hollow interlayer, the water flow can be evenly sprayed onto the inner surface of the outer barrel 2, thereby achieving an efficient flushing effect.

[0054] This design utilizes the cooperation of the large hollow interlayer, the one-way nozzles 23, the water injection through-holes 22 and the water injection pipe to successfully achieve an efficient, energy-saving and convenient cleaning process. By reasonably configuring the water flow distribution system, this design can ensure the automation and high efficiency of the cleaning process and reduce the complexity of manual operation.

[0055] In this embodiment, the outer barrel 2 is made of a transparent material. The large hollow interlayer includes several equally divided small hollow interlayers 21. Any two small hollow interlayers 21 are not connected to each other. The number of the water injection through-holes 22 corresponds to that of the small hollow interlayers 21, and a water injection through-hole 22 is provided at the corresponding position of each small hollow interlayer 21.

[0056] In a possible implementation manner, the outer barrel 2 is made of a transparent material. The large hollow interlayer is divided into multiple equally divided small hollow interlayers 21. Each small hollow interlayer 21 is independent and not connected to each other. A water injection through-hole 22 is correspondingly provided for each small hollow interlayer 21, and the number of the water injection through-holes 22 is equal to that of the small hollow interlayers 21. Through these designs, the system realizes accurate water flow distribution and effective cleaning effect.

[0057] Specifically, the outer cylinder 2 is made of a transparent material, enabling the user to directly observe the internal water flow condition and whether there is a blockage. The large hollow sandwich layer is divided into several independent small hollow sandwich layers 21, and there is no connecting channel between each small hollow sandwich layer 21. Since the small hollow sandwich layers 21 are independent, the water flow in each small hollow sandwich layer 21 can be independently controlled, which can improve the water use efficiency and avoid cross-contamination of the water flow.

[0058] Above each small hollow sandwich layer 21, there is a water injection through-hole 22, and the number of these water injection through-holes 22 exactly corresponds to the number of small hollow sandwich layers 21. This means that each small hollow sandwich layer 21 has a dedicated water injection through-hole 22 for injecting water flow. The setting of the water injection through-hole 22 ensures that the water flow can be injected into each small hollow sandwich layer 21 in a targeted manner without excessive water flow diffusion or waste, thereby enabling a precise cleaning effect.

[0059] When the water injection pipe starts to inject water, the water flow will enter each small hollow sandwich layer 21 through the water injection through-hole 22. Inside each small hollow sandwich layer 21, the water flow sprays outwards through the corresponding through-holes and the one-way nozzles 23, which can ensure that the water flow only sprays out from specific positions and the sprayed water flow is more concentrated and precise. The independent design of each small hollow sandwich layer 21 enables the water flow to be precisely controlled within each small area, avoiding excessive water flow waste and reducing unnecessary diffusion of the water flow.

[0060] The outer cylinder 2 is made of a transparent material, which enables the user to clearly see the internal cleaning condition and whether the water flow is smooth. The inner wall surface of the outer cylinder 2 can observe the actual effect of the water flow and whether there is a blockage. The large hollow sandwich layer is divided into multiple small hollow sandwich layers 21, and there is no channel between each small hollow sandwich layer 21, maintaining independence. At the same time, a corresponding water injection through-hole 22 is set on each small hollow sandwich layer 21, and the number and position of the water injection through-holes 22 correspond one by one to the small hollow sandwich layers 21. When the water injection starts, the water enters each small hollow sandwich layer 21 through the water injection through-hole 22, and then sprays out the water flow through the through-holes and the one-way nozzles 23 for cleaning. Each small hollow sandwich layer 21 acts independently, and the water flow only acts on a specific area to ensure precise cleaning.

[0061] Through the reasonable design of dividing the large hollow sandwich layer into multiple small hollow sandwich layers 21, the transparent outer cylinder 2 and the water injection through-holes 22, the distribution of the water flow is made more precise, and the cleaning efficiency is improved. The use of the transparent outer cylinder 2 also provides the function of real-time monitoring of the water flow condition, further enhancing the convenience of operation and the cleaning effect.

[0062] In this embodiment, the frame 1 includes a front bracket, a rear bracket, a beam frame and casters. One end of the front bracket is fixedly installed at one end of the outer cylinder 2, and the rear bracket is fixedly installed at the other end of the outer cylinder 2. The heights of the front bracket and the rear bracket are adjustable, and casters are fixedly installed at the other ends of the front bracket and the rear bracket respectively.

[0063] In a possible implementation manner, the front bracket and the rear bracket are respectively installed at both ends of the outer cylinder 2. One end of the front bracket is connected to the front end of the outer cylinder 2 through a fixed connection, and the other end of the rear bracket is fixed to the rear end of the outer cylinder 2. To ensure the stability of the equipment and the structural stability, both the front bracket and the rear bracket are combined with the outer cylinder 2 through firm connecting pieces (such as bolts or welding). This structural design ensures that the outer cylinder 2 can be firmly supported on the frame 1, preventing any unnecessary shaking.

[0064] The heights of the front bracket and the rear bracket are adjustable, and this function is achieved by adjusting bolts, lock nuts or sliding devices. The front bracket and the rear bracket are connected through an adjusting device, and the user can adjust the heights of the front bracket and the rear bracket according to needs, so that the frame 1 can adapt to the outer cylinder 2 of different sizes or different working requirements. This design enables the equipment to be adjusted according to the actual height requirements during installation or operation, improving the applicability and flexibility of the equipment.

[0065] The beam frame is connected between the front bracket and the rear bracket, playing a role in support and stability. The installation of the beam frame makes the entire frame 1 form a stable framework, avoiding structural deformation or instability between the brackets caused by external forces. The beam frame is usually connected to the front and rear brackets using steel or other strong materials to ensure that the frame 1 has sufficient strength during use to withstand the pressure of the outer cylinder 2 and its internal load.

[0066] Casters are installed at the other end of each bracket (the ends of the front bracket and the rear bracket). The setting of the casters enables the equipment to move freely on the ground, and the user can move the equipment from one position to another according to needs without additional handling tools. The casters are usually designed to be rotatable 360 degrees, so that the frame 1 can also flexibly adjust its direction in a narrow space.

[0067] In the specific implementation process, first, one end of the front support is installed at the front end of the outer cylinder 2 through a fixing member, and one end of the rear support is fixed at the rear end of the outer cylinder 2. Ensure that the front and rear supports are firmly installed to avoid any looseness or instability. Adjust the heights of the front support and the rear support as needed. By adjusting bolts or sliding devices, the front support and the rear support can move up and down to reach the required height. After adjustment, lock the nuts or adjust the bolts to ensure that the height of the support remains stable. Install the beam frame between the front support and the rear support to ensure that the beam frame is firmly connected and can provide sufficient support force. The role of the beam frame is to enhance the overall stability of the frame 1. Finally, fix the universal wheels at the other ends of the front support and the rear support. Ensure that the universal wheels are firmly installed and check whether the universal wheels can rotate freely to ensure the flexibility during equipment movement.

[0068] Through the design of this frame 1 structure, both the stability of the equipment is ensured, and its mobility and adaptability are improved, greatly enhancing the convenience and efficiency of the entire system during actual operation.

[0069] In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism includes a placement bin, a robotic arm, a clamping member, a washing device, and a driving component. The placement bin is installed and fixed on the outer side of the feeding hopper 5. The fixed part of the robotic arm is installed and fixed on the frame 1. The clamping member is installed and fixed to the movable part of the robotic arm. The washing device is installed and fixed on the frame 1. The driving component is installed and fixed on the frame 1. The driving component drives the robotic arm and the clamping member to work. There are several cleaning devices 6 in the placement bin;

[0070] When it is necessary to feed the cleaning device 6, the driving component drives the robotic arm and the clamping member to take out a cleaning device 6 from the placement bin, adjust the position and then put it into the feeding port of the outer cylinder 2. After the feeding is completed, the driving component drives the robotic arm and the clamping member to move into the washing device. After washing, they return to the original position.

[0071] In a possible implementation manner, the design of the feeding mechanism includes multiple key components, including a placement bin, a robotic arm, a clamping member, a washing device, and a driving component. These components cooperate with each other to complete the feeding, cleaning, and recycling of the cleaning device 6.

[0072] Specifically, the placement bin is fixedly installed on the outer side of the feeding hopper 5 and serves as a container for storing the cleaning device 6. The design of the placement bin needs to ensure that the cleaning device 6 can be smoothly taken out during the placement process and accurately grasped by the robotic arm. The fixed part of the robotic arm is installed on the frame 1 through brackets or connectors to ensure its stability during operation. The movable part of the robotic arm is connected to the clamping piece and can perform precise movement and positioning. The clamping piece is fixedly connected to the movable part of the robotic arm, and through the drive of the robotic arm, the clamping piece can perform actions such as clamping and placing. The design of the clamping piece ensures that it can firmly grasp the cleaning device 6 and accurately place it at the designated position. The washing device is installed and fixed on the frame 1 and is usually coordinated with the movement range of the robotic arm so that after the cleaning device 6 is placed, the robotic arm can send it to the washing device for cleaning. The drive assembly is installed and fixed on the frame 1 and serves as the power source of the entire system. The drive assembly drives the movement of the robotic arm and the clamping piece through electric or pneumatic means to achieve precise placement and recovery operations of the cleaning device 6.

[0073] In the specific implementation process, when it is necessary to place the cleaning device 6, the drive assembly is first started, driving the robotic arm and the clamping piece to take out a cleaning device 6 from the placement bin. The robotic arm moves along a predetermined path and adjusts the position of the clamping piece to accurately place the cleaning device 6 at the feeding port of the outer cylinder 2. This process requires ensuring that the clamping piece firmly grasps and precisely places the cleaning device 6 to avoid any misalignment or omission.

[0074] After the placement is completed, the drive assembly continues to control the movement of the robotic arm and the clamping piece to send the cleaning device 6 to the washing device on the frame 1. The washing device performs the cleaning work, and after a series of cleaning steps, the cleaning device 6 returns to a usable state. The design of the washing device ensures that the cleaning device 6 can be thoroughly cleaned to remove residual pollutants or dust.

[0075] After the cleaning is completed, the robotic arm, under the control of the drive assembly, takes out the cleaning device 6 from the washing device and sends it back to the storage position in the original placement bin. The entire process can be repeated according to requirements to ensure that the cleaning device 6 can continuously and effectively work.

[0076] Through this structural design, the placement mechanism can achieve efficient placement, precise recovery, and thorough cleaning of the cleaning device 6, greatly improving the automation level, working efficiency, and reliability of the equipment, reducing the need for manual intervention, and being able to continuously maintain the high performance of the cleaning device 6.

[0077] In this embodiment, it also includes a disinfection and charging bin, which is installed and fixed on the frame 1. After the recovery mechanism 8 recovers the cleaning device 6, the cleaning device 6 is manually removed for cleaning and then placed in the disinfection and charging bin for disinfection and charging.

[0078] In a possible implementation, the design of the disinfection charging bin is closely related to the recycling and disinfection process of the entire cleaning device 6, ensuring that the cleaning device 6 can be effectively disinfected and charged after use, and is ready for the next use.

[0079] Specifically, the disinfection charging bin is installed and fixed on the rack 1, and its stability is usually ensured by brackets, screws or welding. The position of the disinfection charging bin needs to be convenient for the removal and placement of the cleaning device 6 after recycling, and needs to cooperate with the operation path of the recycling mechanism 8 to ensure that the cleaning device 6 can be smoothly placed into the bin. After the cleaning device 6 is recycled and manually removed, the cleaning device 6 will be placed into the disinfection charging bin. The disinfection charging bin usually contains a disinfection module (such as an ultraviolet lamp, a spraying device, etc.) and a charging interface. The cleaning device 6 is connected to the charging device inside the charging bin through a properly designed interface to ensure that the battery can be charged smoothly. At the same time, the disinfection module can disinfect the cleaning device 6 to ensure that it is hygienic and sterile for the next use.

[0080] In the specific implementation process, after the cleaning device 6 completes its use, the recycling mechanism 8 recycles the cleaning device 6 from the working position to the designated position, and the manual operator removes it. This step is a transition in the whole process, and the manual operation ensures that the cleaning device 6 is correctly removed from the equipment. The manual operator cleans the recycled cleaning device 6 to remove dust, dirt or other contaminants. After the cleaning process is completed, the cleaning device 6 can be effectively restored to enter the disinfection and charging stage.

[0081] Furthermore, after the cleaning device 6 is cleaned, the manual operator puts it into the disinfection charging bin. The disinfection device in the disinfection charging bin starts to disinfect the cleaning device 6, and the disinfection method can be ultraviolet disinfection, ozone disinfection or chemical spray disinfection, etc. At the same time, the charging interface connects to the battery of the cleaning device 6 to start the charging process.

[0082] Furthermore, the disinfection system and the charging system in the disinfection charging bin can work simultaneously. The disinfection device disinfects the cleaning device 6 to remove harmful microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, ensuring that the cleaning device 6 will not spread germs during the next use. At the same time, the charging system charges the cleaning device 6 through the battery interface to ensure that its battery is in a fully charged state and can support the next use.

[0083] When the cleaning device 6 completes disinfection and charging, the manual operator can take it out and prepare it for the next use. The use cycle of the entire disinfection charging bin provides guarantee for the effective maintenance of the cleaning device 6.

[0084] With this design, the disinfection charging bin effectively realizes the automatic disinfection and charging of the cleaning device 6, improves the hygiene level and working efficiency of the device, and at the same time ensures the long-term stable operation of the cleaning device 6. It is an indispensable part of device management and maintenance.

[0085] In this embodiment, the cleaning device 6 further includes a wireless charging device. The disinfection charging bin includes a bin body, a drying mechanism, an ultraviolet lamp disinfection mechanism, and a wireless charging seat. The drying mechanism, the ultraviolet lamp disinfection mechanism, and the wireless charging seat are all installed and fixed in the bin body. When the cleaning device 6 is placed in the disinfection charging bin, charging starts automatically.

[0086] In a possible implementation manner, the cleaning device 6 includes a wireless charging device, and the disinfection charging bin includes a bin body, a drying mechanism, an ultraviolet lamp disinfection mechanism, and a wireless charging seat. After the cleaning device 6 is placed in the disinfection charging bin, charging, disinfection, and drying start automatically.

[0087] Specifically, the wireless charging device in the cleaning device 6 performs wireless power transmission with the wireless charging seat in the disinfection charging bin. The wireless charging seat is installed at a fixed position in the bin body to ensure that the cleaning device 6 can be accurately docked and wirelessly charged. The cleaning device 6 realizes the transmission of electric energy through electromagnetic induction with the charging seat, thereby charging the device battery.

[0088] The disinfection charging bin contains multiple functional modules:

[0089] Drying mechanism: The drying mechanism is installed at a suitable position inside the bin body, usually connected to the air outlet, and can blow dry the moisture on the surface of the cleaning device 6 through wind power, avoiding damage to the battery or internal components of the device caused by moisture.

[0090] Ultraviolet lamp disinfection mechanism: The ultraviolet lamp disinfection mechanism is also fixedly installed in the bin body, and emits ultraviolet light beams through ultraviolet lamps to disinfect the cleaning device 6 to ensure that there are no harmful microorganisms on its surface and inside.

[0091] Wireless charging seat: The wireless charging seat is one of the core components of the disinfection charging bin, and its function is to charge the cleaning device 6 through electromagnetic induction. The cleaning device 6 receives energy through the electromagnetic field to ensure that the battery is in a charging state and ready for the next use.

[0092] In the specific implementation process, after the cleaning device 6 finishes cleaning or recycling, it is placed in the disinfection charging bin by manual or an automated system. During placement, the wireless charging device automatically docks with the wireless charging seat to ensure the establishment of a wireless power transmission channel. When the cleaning device 6 is placed in the bin, the wireless charging seat starts to charge the battery of the cleaning device 6 through electromagnetic induction. The wireless charging system eliminates the need to plug and unplug the power cord, realizes automatic charging, simplifies the operation steps, and improves convenience.

[0093] While charging, the ultraviolet lamp disinfection mechanism starts to work. The ultraviolet lamp emits ultraviolet radiation to disinfect the cleaning device 6. The ultraviolet light irradiates the surface and interior of the cleaning device 6, destroying the DNA or RNA of microorganisms and effectively killing bacteria and viruses to ensure the hygiene of the device. When the air-drying mechanism works, it blows dry the moisture on the surface of the cleaning device 6 through a strong air flow to avoid the influence of moisture on the internal electronic components of the device. The working time of the air-drying device can be adjusted according to needs to ensure the dryness of the surface of the cleaning device 6. After the cleaning device 6 is fully charged, disinfected and air-dried, the staff or the automated system can take it out and prepare it for the next use. The functions in the disinfection charging bin automatically stop after the cleaning device 6 leaves the bin body.

[0094] This automated disinfection charging bin design not only improves the working efficiency of the cleaning device 6, but also enhances the hygiene safety and long-term use stability of the device by ensuring the cleaning and charging status of the device.

[0095] In this embodiment, the feeding hopper 5 includes a hopper base 51 and an external hopper 52. The hopper base 51 is fixedly installed at the feeding port of the outer cylinder 2, and the external hopper 52 is detachably installed on the hopper base 51. The installation method between the hopper base 51 and the external hopper 52 is a sealed installation;

[0096] A stirring device is also fixedly installed in the external hopper 52. The stirring device stirs the materials in the external hopper 52 through stirring blades.

[0097] In a possible implementation manner, the design of the feeding hopper 5 includes a hopper base 51, an external hopper 52 and a stirring device. This structure connects the external hopper 52 and the hopper base 51 through a sealed installation method, and a stirring device is installed in the external hopper 52.

[0098] Specifically, the hopper base 51 is fixedly installed at the feeding port of the outer cylinder 2 to ensure that the hopper base 51 is stably and firmly fixed at the designated position during the entire operation. The external hopper 52 and the hopper base 51 are connected by a sealed installation method, that is, the external hopper 52 is tightly combined with the hopper base 51 through specific buckles or sealing rings to prevent the leakage of materials during transportation or processing. This sealed installation method ensures the effective storage of materials and prevents external contamination.

[0099] A stirring device is installed in the external hopper 52. The stirring device usually consists of components such as an electric motor and stirring blades. The stirring blades are fixed on the output shaft of the electric motor, and the electric motor provides power to drive the stirring blades to rotate, thereby uniformly stirring the materials in the external hopper 52. The function of the stirring device is to prevent the materials from settling or caking, ensure the fluidity and uniformity of the materials in the hopper, and facilitate subsequent processing and transportation.

[0100] The sealed installation design between the hopper base 51 and the external hopper 52 not only prevents material leakage but also avoids the entry of external pollutants such as dust and moisture into the external hopper 52, thus ensuring the cleanliness and quality of the material. The optimization of this sealed design enables the hopper system to provide higher protection when handling sensitive or easily contaminated materials.

[0101] In the specific implementation process, first, the hopper base 51 is installed and fixed at the feed inlet of the outer cylinder 2. Then, the external hopper 52 is connected to the hopper base 51 through a sealed installation method. Sealed installation usually uses methods such as snap fasteners, sealing rings or threaded connections to ensure a tight fit between the two. Finally, the stirring device is installed inside the external hopper 52, and the stirring blades are connected to the output shaft through an electric motor to ensure the working stability of the stirring device.

[0102] After the material is put into the external hopper 52, the stirring device is started. The electric motor drives the stirring blades to rotate, and the stirring blades stir the material from the bottom to the top of the hopper to prevent material stratification or caking. During the stirring process, the material is evenly stirred to ensure its uniform physical properties in subsequent processes.

[0103] After the material handling is completed, the external hopper 52 can be detached from the hopper base 51 as needed for cleaning, maintenance or replacement. During disassembly, the sealed design ensures the enclosure of the material and does not cause leakage or pollution.

[0104] Through the sealed installation of the hopper base 51 and the external hopper 52, the effective stirring of the stirring device, and the convenient disassembly design, this embodiment realizes an efficient, hygienic and safe material handling process, improving the operation efficiency of the equipment, the convenience of maintenance and the stability of material quality.
