Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of spice barrel cleaning and drying, and specifically to an automatic transfer, cleaning and drying integrated device for essence and spice barrels and its usage method. Background Art

[0002] The essence and spice industry has extremely high requirements for the cleanliness of containers to ensure that the purity and quality of products are not contaminated. Traditional cleaning methods usually rely on manual operations or semi-automatic equipment; the cleaning work not only consumes a large amount of manpower, but also increases the health risks of workers. Moreover, the cleaning and drying in the prior art are two separate processes and require different equipment for treatment respectively. This increases the operation steps and complexity, resulting in a longer cleaning process and also increasing the workload of operators.

[0003] Currently, Chinese invention patent CN115351024A discloses an intelligent cleaning device for powder barrels, including an integrated cleaning channel which is disposed through the cleaning device body. A cleaning inlet and a cleaning outlet for the barrel are respectively arranged on both sides of the integrated cleaning channel, and a moving mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the integrated cleaning channel; a multi-zone cleaning module which is disposed in the integrated cleaning channel. Along the cleaning inlet to the cleaning outlet, the multi-zone cleaning module is respectively provided with a pneumatic dust removal component, a flushing component and a drying component that can work synchronously. The multi-zone cleaning module is correspondingly divided into a dust removal area, a flushing area and a drying area; a barrel entry and exit guiding module which includes rotating components arranged at the cleaning inlet and the cleaning outlet. The bottoms of the rotating components are hinged and can be opened and closed at the cleaning inlet and the cleaning outlet. The rotating components include a rotating frame body and a transmission roller. The transmission roller is disposed on the rotating frame body and can carry and convey the barrel; the cleaning device body further includes a flipping mechanism which includes a positive flipping component and a reverse flipping component. The positive flipping component is disposed in the dust removal area and the reverse flipping component is disposed in the drying area; a conveying mechanism is arranged on the inner bottom wall of the integrated cleaning channel, which can drive the barrel entering from the cleaning inlet to sequentially pass through the dust removal area, the flushing area and the drying area, realizing the flipping, dust removal, flushing, drying and re-flipping of the barrel with the opening facing upward, and outputting it from the cleaning outlet.

[0004] Through the pneumatic dust removal component, the flushing component and the drying component, the powder material bucket entering the cleaning device successively undergoes the steps of dust removal, flushing and drying. And through the positive and negative rotation component arranged in the dust removal area, the material bucket with the opening facing upward is turned into the state with the opening facing downward, which can prevent dust and liquid from being stored in the material bucket during the cleaning process to the greatest extent, and it is difficult to clean and dump the residues in the bucket; however, the flipping operation may cause uncontrollable distribution of the residues in the material bucket, and some residues may still adhere to the inner surface of the bucket, which is difficult to completely remove, and the processing efficiency is low. Therefore, there is a need for a cleaning and drying integrated device that can thoroughly clean the inner wall of the spice bucket to ensure high-standard cleaning quality while automatically transporting, so as to improve the efficiency of the overall production line. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, an automatic transfer, cleaning and drying integrated device for essence and spice buckets is provided. By switching the working modes of water flow and air flow of the nozzle and combining with the position adjustment of the cleaning frame body, high-pressure water flow and compressed air are close to the inner wall of the spice bucket for operation. As the cleaning frame body rotates, the nozzles cover the inner wall of the spice bucket in all directions, and a sponge is used to physically wipe the inner wall of the spice bucket to ensure that every corner is effectively cleaned and dried.

[0006] To solve the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic transfer, cleaning and drying integrated device for essence and spice buckets, including a chain plate conveyor for transporting the spice bucket in the form of an upward-facing opening. Above the chain plate conveyor, there is a processing mechanism for cleaning and drying the spice bucket. The processing mechanism includes a lifting cover plate, a cleaning frame body arranged on the lifting cover plate, and a clamping component arranged on the lifting cover plate for fixing the spice bucket. The cleaning frame body can rotate around the inner wall of the spice bucket on the lifting cover plate. A rotating shaft for driving the rotating frame body to rotate is arranged on the lifting cover plate. A plurality of nozzles respectively facing the inner side and the inner bottom surface of the spice bucket are arranged on the cleaning frame body. The cleaning frame body has an inner channel communicating with the plurality of nozzles. A water supply pipeline and an air supply pipeline communicating with the inner channel are respectively arranged on the cleaning frame body. When the cleaning frame body rotates around the spice bucket, all the nozzles are simultaneously in the switching state of first spraying water for cleaning and then spraying air for drying, so that the inner wall of the spice bucket is thoroughly cleaned.

[0007] Preferably, the cleaning frame body has a vertical section and a horizontal section extending along the axial and radial directions of the spice bucket. A plurality of the nozzles are evenly arranged at equal intervals along the corresponding length directions on the vertical section and the horizontal section. Sponges capable of squeezing the inner wall of the spice bucket are arranged on both the vertical section and the horizontal section. After the cleaning frame body rotates around the spice bucket for one week, the sponges are in a state of wiping the inner wall of the spice bucket in all directions.

[0008] Preferably, a sewage discharge pipe for absorbing sewage is provided on the horizontal section of the cleaning frame body along its length direction. A plurality of sewage discharge ports are evenly distributed along the radial direction of the spice barrel on the sewage discharge pipe. An elastic connecting piece is provided between the sewage discharge pipe and the horizontal section. When the sponge squeezes the spice barrel, the sewage discharge pipe is in an adaptive state of keeping in contact with the spice barrel under the action of the elastic connecting piece.

[0009] Preferably, the sponge and the sewage discharge pipe are provided at a position on the cleaning frame body close to the nozzle. The sponge is located behind the nozzle along the rotation direction of the cleaning frame body, and the sewage discharge pipe is located in front of the nozzle along the rotation direction of the cleaning frame body. When the nozzle is in the working state, the sponge is in a state of being wetted or dried, and at the same time, the sewage discharge pipe is in a state of absorbing sewage or absorbing gas.

[0010] Preferably, the cleaning frame body can move radially along the rotation axis to cooperate with the axial movement so that the sponge completely fits the inner side surface and the inner bottom surface of the spice barrel. A slide rail extending radially is provided at the lower end of the rotation axis. A slide groove that slidably engages with the slide rail is provided on the horizontal section of the cleaning frame body. A radial driver for driving the radial movement of the cleaning frame body is provided on the rotation axis.

[0011] Preferably, the radial driver has a sliding sleeve slidably sleeved on the rotation axis and a connecting rod hinged between the sliding sleeve and the vertical section. A return spring is fixedly connected between the sliding sleeve and the rotation axis. The radial driver also has a movable electromagnet fixedly provided on the sliding sleeve and a fixed electromagnet fixedly provided on the rotation axis and located above the movable electromagnet. When the movable electromagnet contacts the fixed electromagnet, the return spring is in a state of not being subjected to external force.

[0012] Preferably, a first rubber pad capable of abutting against the top of the spice barrel is provided on the lifting cover plate. A rotating ring is coaxially provided on the rotation axis. A bearing is provided between the rotating ring and the lifting cover plate. A second rubber pad abutting against the rotating ring is also provided on the lifting cover plate. When the lifting cover plate presses on the spice barrel through the first rubber pad, a sealed space is formed inside the spice barrel.

[0013] Preferably, the clamping assembly includes pressing rods provided around the lifting cover plate. The centers of the pressing rods are rotatably connected to the lifting cover plate. The lifting cover plate has a shaft connecting portion for the rotatable connection of the pressing rods. The lower ends of the pressing rods have rubber blocks capable of pressing against the outer side surface of the spice barrel. The clamping assembly further includes a pressing member for applying pressure to the upper ends of each pressing rod to urge the rubber blocks to move inward.

[0014] Preferably, the pressing member has a pushing portion in contact with the pressing rod and a jacking portion that cooperates with the pushing portion to move it outward. There is an inclined surface that cooperates with each other between the pushing portion and the jacking portion. All the jacking portions are fixedly connected to the first rubber pad. When the lifting cover plate contacts the spice barrel at the first rubber pad and continues to move downward, all the jacking portions act on the corresponding pushing portions simultaneously, causing all the pressing rods to rotate inward simultaneously.

[0015] The present invention also provides a method for using an automatic transfer, cleaning, and drying integrated device for fragrance and spice barrels, including the following steps: S1. The spice barrel is transported to the cleaning position by a chain plate conveyor. The lifting cover plate descends to seal the top of the spice barrel, and at the same time, the clamping assembly is used to fix the spice barrel. S2. The cleaning frame rotates, the nozzles spray water to clean the inner wall and wipe it with a sponge, and the sewage pipe synchronously absorbs the sewage. S3. After the cleaning is completed, the air supply mode is switched. The nozzles blow air to dry the inner cavity of the spice barrel. At the same time, the sponge is dried to ensure that no residual water drops drip into the spice barrel. S4. The lifting cover plate rises, the clamping is released, and the chain plate conveyor transports the processed spice barrel to the next process.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this application compared with the prior art are as follows: 1. By arranging a plurality of nozzles on the cleaning frame, the present invention uses high-pressure water flow flushing and compressed air drying methods to achieve thorough cleaning and rapid drying of stubborn stains inside the spice barrel. As the cleaning frame rotates, the nozzles can fully cover the inner wall of the spice barrel to ensure that every corner can be effectively cleaned. The sponge immediately physically wipes the inner wall of the spice barrel after strong flushing or drying, enhancing the decontamination ability in the wet state and further absorbing residual moisture in the dry state, further removing stains and absorbing residual moisture, so that the inside of the spice barrel reaches a highly clean and completely dry state, improving the cleaning efficiency and effect.

[0017] 2. Through multiple sewage discharge ports arranged radially along the spice barrel on the sewage pipe, the present invention effectively collects the sewage after flushing, pre-absorbs and removes the sewage or gas that may remain in the previous cycle, quickly discharges the dirt and wastewater washed down, reduces the residence time of the dirt in the barrel, further prevents the reattachment of pollutants, and the elastic connecting piece makes each sewage discharge port on the sewage pipe close to the inner bottom surface of the spice barrel, maximizing the sewage absorption efficiency. Compared with pouring out the sewage by flipping the spice barrel, it avoids dirt staying on the surface of the spice barrel and improves the cleaning effect.

[0018] 3. The present invention enables the cleaning frame to move radially along the rotating shaft through a radial driver, and combines with a lifting cover plate to drive the axial movement of the cleaning frame, ensuring that the sponge can fully fit the inner side and inner bottom surface of the spice barrel. When the cleaning frame rotates, the sponge can effectively wipe the inner wall of the spice barrel comprehensively, remove stubborn stains or absorb excess moisture, thereby achieving the purpose of efficient and thorough cleaning.

Detailed implementation mode

[0030] To further understand the features, technical means, specific purposes and functions achieved by the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation modes.

[0031] See Figures 1-5 As shown, the automatic transfer, cleaning and drying integrated equipment for the essence and spice barrel in this embodiment includes a chain plate conveyor 2 for transferring the spice barrel 1 with the opening facing upwards. Above the chain plate conveyor 2, there is a processing mechanism for cleaning and drying the spice barrel 1. The processing mechanism includes a lifting cover plate 3, a cleaning frame body 4 arranged on the lifting cover plate 3, and a clamping assembly 5 arranged on the lifting cover plate 3 that can fix the spice barrel 1. On the chain plate conveyor 2, a driving source (not shown in the figure) drives the lifting cover plate 3 to move up and down, and at the same time drives the cleaning frame body 4 to move synchronously with the lifting cover plate 3. The cleaning frame body 4 can rotate around the inner wall of the spice barrel 1 on the lifting cover plate 3. On the lifting cover plate 3, there is a rotating shaft 31 for driving the rotating frame body to rotate. On the cleaning frame body 4, there are several spray heads 41 respectively facing the inner side and the inner bottom surface of the spice barrel 1. The cleaning frame body 4 has an inner channel 42 communicating with several of the spray heads 41. On the cleaning frame body 4, there are respectively arranged a water supply pipe 421 and an air supply pipe 422 communicating with the inner channel 42. When the cleaning frame body 4 rotates around the spice barrel 1, all the spray heads 41 are simultaneously in a switching state of first spraying water for cleaning and then jetting air for drying, so that the inner wall of the spice barrel 1 can be thoroughly cleaned.

[0032] On the chain plate conveyor 2, there is a limit plate 21 for limiting the spice barrel 1 in the horizontal direction, so that it will not deviate when transported by the chain plate conveyor 2.

[0033] Above the chain plate conveyor 2 along its conveying direction, a pre-rinsing mechanism is further provided, and the pre-rinsing mechanism is used to initially clean the spice barrel 1 comprehensively in all directions.

[0034] When the spice barrel 1 is transported to the lower part of the pre-rinsing mechanism by the chain plate conveyor 2 with the opening facing upwards, the first thing it encounters is a comprehensive preliminary rinse, aiming to pre-rinse the overall surface of the spice barrel 1 through high-pressure water flow to prepare for subsequent in-depth cleaning. As the chain plate conveyor 2 continues to operate, the pre-rinsed spice barrel 1 continues to move forward until it reaches the designated area of the processing mechanism.

[0035] At this time, the lifting cover plate 3 in the processing mechanism slowly descends until it closely fits the opening edge of the spice barrel 1, ensuring sealing and providing a closed space for the subsequent cleaning and drying operations. The clamping assembly 5 located on the lifting cover plate 3 is immediately activated to firmly fix the spice barrel 1 to prevent displacement or tilting during rotation. Then, the cleaning frame body 4 begins to slowly rotate around the inner wall of the spice barrel 1. As the cleaning frame body 4 rotates, a plurality of spray heads 41 installed on it are aligned with the inner side and the inner bottom surface of the spice barrel 1. The spray heads 41 are connected to the external water supply pipe 421 through the inner channel 42 of the cleaning frame body 4. In the initial stage, the water supply pipe 421 supplies an appropriate amount of clean water to the spray heads 41. Under the action of high pressure, the water column shoots towards every corner of the spice barrel 1 with a strong impact force, effectively removing the stubborn residues attached to the inner wall. Since the spray heads 41 cover every surface inside the spice barrel 1 when following the rotation of the cleaning frame body 4, even the areas that are difficult to reach can be thoroughly cleaned.

[0036] After a period of sufficient rinsing, the spray heads 41 automatically switch to the air jet drying working mode. At this time, the water supply pipe 421 stops supplying water and instead opens the air supply pipe 422 to deliver dry and clean compressed air to the inside of the spice barrel 1 through the same spray heads 41. As the cleaning frame body 4 continues to rotate, the strong airflow quickly takes away the moisture remaining on the inner wall of the spice barrel 1, accelerating the drying process. It not only improves the cleaning efficiency but also effectively avoids the problem of secondary pollution caused by water residue, enabling the spice barrel 1 to complete the thorough cleaning and drying integrated treatment in the processing mechanism area, and the sewage after cleaning is immediately discharged.

[0037] See Figures 2-9 As shown, the cleaning frame body 4 has a vertical section 43 and a horizontal section 44 extending along the axial and radial directions of the spice barrel 1. A plurality of the spray heads 41 are evenly spaced along the corresponding length directions on the vertical section 43 and the horizontal section 44. Sponges 45 capable of squeezing the inner wall of the spice barrel 1 are provided on both the vertical section 43 and the horizontal section 44. When the cleaning frame body 4 rotates around the spice barrel 1 for one week, the sponges 45 are in a state of wiping the inner wall of the spice barrel 1 comprehensively in all directions.

[0038] When the cleaning rack 4 enters the spice barrel 1, the vertical section 43 and the horizontal section 44 of the cleaning rack 4 are positioned close to the inner side and the inner bottom surface of the spice barrel 1. Subsequently, the cleaning rack 4 starts to rotate around the inner wall of the spice barrel 1, and the spray nozzles 41 perform a strong flush on the inner side and the inner bottom surface of the spice barrel 1 respectively, effectively removing the residues.

[0039] Meanwhile, the sponges 45 equipped on the vertical section 43 and the horizontal section 44 also come into contact with the inner wall of the spice barrel 1 as the cleaning rack 4 rotates, and perform an all-round wipe on its surface, further removing stubborn stains. After the preliminary cleaning is completed, the spray nozzles 41 automatically switch to the air jet mode, and the air supply pipe 422 replaces the water supply pipe 421 to provide dry and clean compressed air to the spray nozzles 41, quickly removing the moisture inside the spice barrel 1. During this process, the sponges 45 continue to perform the final physical wipe on the inner wall to ensure that no water stains or residues are left on the inner wall surface of the spice barrel 1.

[0040] See Figures 2-9 As shown, a sewage discharge pipe 441 for absorbing sewage is provided along the length direction on the horizontal section 44 of the cleaning rack 4. A number of sewage discharge ports 4411 are evenly distributed along the radial direction of the spice barrel 1 on the sewage discharge pipe 441. An elastic connecting member 442 is provided between the sewage discharge pipe 441 and the horizontal section 44. When the sponge 45 squeezes the spice barrel 1, the sewage discharge pipe 441 is in an adaptive state of keeping contact with the spice barrel 1 under the action of the elastic connecting member 442.

[0041] When the cleaning rack 4 enters the spice barrel 1 and starts to rotate around its inner wall, the sewage discharge pipe 441 provided on the horizontal section 44 of the cleaning rack 4 also operates synchronously with the rotation action. A number of sewage discharge ports 4411 evenly distributed along the radial direction of the spice barrel 1 on the sewage discharge pipe 441 ensure the effective collection of the rinsed sewage from all directions. During the process of the sponge 45 coming into contact with the inner wall of the spice barrel 1 and performing the wipe, the elastic connecting member 442 enables the sewage discharge pipe 441 to adaptively adjust its position while keeping contact with the inner wall of the spice barrel 1.

[0042] After the residues are strongly flushed away by the spray nozzles 41, the sewage is quickly sucked into the sewage discharge pipe 441 through the sewage discharge ports 4411 for discharge. Subsequently, when the spray nozzles 41 switch to the air jet mode to remove the moisture inside the spice barrel 1, the sewage discharge pipe 441 and the sewage discharge ports 4411 continue to work, cooperating with the physical wiping action of the sponges 45 to further ensure the dryness and cleanliness inside the spice barrel 1, and at the same time effectively removing the last remaining water stains or dirt, ensuring that the inner wall of the spice barrel 1 is completely clean and free of any residues.

[0043] See Figures 2-9As shown, a sponge 45 and a sewage discharge pipe 441 are provided at a position on the cleaning frame body 4 close to the nozzle 41. The sponge 45 is located behind the nozzle 41 along the rotation direction of the cleaning frame body 4, and the sewage discharge pipe 441 is located in front of the nozzle 41 along the rotation direction of the cleaning frame body 4. When the nozzle 41 is in the working state, the sponge 45 is in a wetted or dried state, and at the same time, the sewage discharge pipe 441 is in a state of absorbing sewage or gas.

[0044] The upper half of the rotating shaft 31 is provided with a housing 32 fixedly connected thereto. The housing 32 has a separated fresh water chamber 321 and a hot air chamber 322. The housing 32 is provided with a water intake sleeve 3211 that communicates with the fresh water chamber 321 and is sleeved on the water supply pipe 421. The housing 32 is also provided with an air intake sleeve 3221 that communicates with the hot air chamber 322 and is sleeved on the air supply pipe 422.

[0045] Sealing rings 3222 are provided between the water intake sleeve 3211 and the water supply pipe 421, and between the air intake sleeve 3221 and the air supply pipe 422. Electric control valves are also provided on both the water intake sleeve 3211 and the air intake sleeve 3221.

[0046] The rotating shaft 31 has a DC channel 311 that penetrates through both ends. A hose 3111 communicating with the DC channel 311 is provided on the sewage discharge pipe 441.

[0047] When the cleaning frame body 4 enters the spice barrel 1 and starts to rotate around its inner wall, the sponge 45 and the sewage discharge pipe 441 provided on the cleaning frame body 4 also operate synchronously with the rotation of the cleaning frame body 4. The sponge 45 is located behind the nozzle 41 and, along the rotation direction of the cleaning frame body 4, physically wipes the inner wall of the spice barrel 1 immediately after the nozzle 41 completes strong flushing or strong drying. The sewage discharge pipe 441 is located in front of the nozzle 41 and is responsible for pre-absorbing and removing the residual sewage or gas in the previous cycle.

[0048] When the nozzle 41 is in the working state, if the nozzle 41 is spraying water for strong flushing, the sponge 45 is in a wetted state, and the wetted surface is used to enhance the wiping effect on the inner wall of the spice barrel 1, effectively removing stubborn stains. When the nozzle 41 switches to the jet mode for strong drying, the sponge 45 is dried accordingly and continues to perform the final drying treatment on the inner wall of the spice barrel 1, further absorbing the possible residual moisture.

[0049] See Figures 2-9As shown, the cleaning frame body 4 can move radially along the rotating shaft 31 to cooperate with the axial movement so that the sponge 45 completely fits the inner side and the inner bottom surface of the spice barrel 1. A slide rail 312 extending radially is provided at the lower end of the rotating shaft 31. A chute that is slidably clamped with the slide rail 312 is provided on the horizontal section 44 of the cleaning frame body 4. A radial driver 6 for driving the cleaning frame body 4 to move radially is provided on the rotating shaft 31.

[0050] To ensure that the sponge 45 can completely fit the inner side and the inner bottom surface of the spice barrel 1, the cleaning frame body 4 can move radially along the rotating shaft 31 through the radial driver 6, and automatically adjust the position of the cleaning frame body 4 according to the specific shape of the spice barrel 1 during the cleaning and drying processes to ensure that the sponge 45 closely fits the inner wall of the spice barrel 1.

[0051] When the nozzle 41 performs a strong flushing or strong drying operation, the sponge 45 can effectively physically wipe the inner wall of the spice barrel 1 to remove stubborn stains or absorb excess moisture.

[0052] See Figures 4-9 As shown, the radial driver 6 has a sliding sleeve 61 slidably sleeved on the rotating shaft 31 and a connecting rod 62 hinged between the sliding sleeve 61 and the vertical section 43. A return spring 611 is fixedly connected between the sliding sleeve 61 and the rotating shaft 31. The radial driver 6 also has a movable electromagnet 63 fixedly provided on the sliding sleeve 61 and a fixed electromagnet 64 fixedly provided on the rotating shaft 31 and located above the movable electromagnet 63. When the movable electromagnet 63 contacts the fixed electromagnet 64, the return spring 611 is in a state of not being acted on by an external force.

[0053] When the radial driver 6 is started, the movable electromagnet 63 and the fixed electromagnet 64 are energized to generate a repulsive force, and the sliding sleeve 61 slides along the rotating shaft 31. The cleaning frame body 4 is driven to move radially through the connecting rod 62. As the movable electromagnet 63 and the fixed electromagnet 64 are de-energized, the acting force of the return spring 611 pushes the sliding sleeve 61 back to its original position, thereby realizing the radial adjustment of the cleaning frame body 4. This ensures that when the nozzle 41 performs a strong flushing or strong drying operation, the sponge 45 can effectively and closely fit the inner wall of the spice barrel 1, improving the cleaning efficiency and effect.

[0054] See Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, a first rubber pad 33 that can contact the top of the spice barrel 1 is provided on the lifting cover plate 3. A rotating ring 313 is coaxially provided on the rotating shaft 31. A bearing 3131 is provided between the rotating ring 313 and the lifting cover plate 3. A second rubber pad 34 that contacts the rotating ring 313 is also provided on the lifting cover plate 3. When the lifting cover plate 3 presses on the spice barrel 1 through the first rubber pad 33, a sealed space is formed inside the spice barrel 1.

[0055] When the lifting cover plate 3 descends to introduce the cleaning frame body 4 into the spice barrel 1, the first rubber pad 33 provided at the bottom of the lifting cover plate 3 first contacts the top of the spice barrel 1 and applies appropriate pressure. At the same time, the second rubber pad 34 on the lifting cover plate 3 that abuts against the rotating ring 313, in combination with the first rubber pad 33, ensures the sealing of the spice barrel 1.

[0056] This ensures that during the cleaning stage, the high-pressure water flow and cleaning agent can act concentratedly inside the spice barrel 1, effectively removing stubborn stains, while preventing external contamination from entering the barrel. During the drying stage, sealing is equally important. It can prevent external moisture from entering and enable compressed air to flow more effectively in the enclosed space, causing the spice barrel 1 to quickly heat up, carry away the moisture inside the barrel, and accelerate the drying process.

[0057] See Figures 2-7 and Figure 10 As shown in

[0058] A torsion spring 5111 is fixedly connected between the shaft connection point of the pressure rod 51 and the shaft connection part 511. When the pressure rod 51 rotates inward, the torsion spring 5111 is in a twisted state.

[0059] When the lifting cover plate 3 descends to prepare for the cleaning and drying operations of the spice barrel 1, the pressing member 52 in the clamping assembly 5 applies pressure to the upper end of each pressure rod 51, causing the pressure rod 51 to rotate inward around the shaft connection point, so that the rubber block 512 closely fits the outer surface of the spice barrel 1, ensuring that the spice barrel 1 is firmly fixed. During the process of the pressure rod 51 rotating inward and pressing against the spice barrel 1, the torsion spring 5111 is twisted to store energy.

[0060] When the lifting cover plate 3 ascends, the pressure of the pressing member 52 is released, and the torsion spring 5111 releases the energy it stores, helping the pressure rod 51 to return to its original position and releasing the fixed state of the spice barrel 1.

[0061] See Figures 2-7 and Figure 10As shown in the figure, the pressing member 52 has a pushing portion 521 that contacts the pressing rod 51 and a jacking portion 522 that cooperates with the pushing portion 521 to move it outward. There is an inclined surface that cooperates with each other between the pushing portion 521 and the jacking portion 522. All the jacking portions 522 are fixedly connected to the first rubber pad 33. When the lifting cover plate 3 contacts the spice barrel 1 through the first rubber pad 33 and continues to move downward, all the jacking portions 522 act on the corresponding pushing portions 521 at the same time, causing all the pressing rods 51 to rotate inward simultaneously.

[0062] The pushing portion 521 is slidably arranged on the lifting cover plate 3 along the rotation direction of the pressing rod 51, and the jacking portion 522 is slidably arranged on the lifting cover plate 3 along the axis direction of the rotation shaft 31.

[0063] A compression spring 331 is fixedly connected between the first rubber pad 33 and the lifting cover plate 3 to assist the reset of the first rubber pad 33 after deformation.

[0064] When the lifting cover plate 3 contacts the spice barrel 1 through the first rubber pad 33 and continues to move downward, all the jacking portions 522 remain stationary through the fixation with the first rubber pad 33. At this time, the pushing portion 521 follows the lifting cover plate 3 and descends. Due to the cooperation of the inclined surfaces between the pushing portion 521 and the jacking portion 522, the pushing portion 521 slides outward. As a result, all the pressing rods 51 are simultaneously subjected to an outward force and rotate inward around their shaft joints, so that the rubber blocks 512 at the lower ends of the pressing rods 51 closely fit the outer side surface of the spice barrel 1, ensuring that the spice barrel 1 is further firmly clamped on the basis of being pressed by the lifting cover plate 3.

[0065] The usage method of the automatic transfer, cleaning and drying integrated equipment for the essence and spice barrel is applied to the automatic transfer, cleaning and drying integrated equipment for the essence and spice barrel as described above, and includes the following steps: S1. The spice barrel 1 is transported to the cleaning position by the chain plate conveyor 2, the lifting cover plate 3 descends to seal the top of the spice barrel 1, and at the same time, the spice barrel 1 is fixed by the clamping assembly 5; S2. The cleaning frame 4 rotates, the spray head 41 sprays water to clean the inner wall and wipes it with the sponge 45, and the sewage pipe 441 synchronously absorbs the sewage; S3. After the cleaning is completed, it is switched to the air supply mode, the spray head 41 blows air to dry the inner cavity of the spice barrel 1, and at the same time, the sponge 45 is dried to ensure that no residual water drops drip into the spice barrel 1; S4. The lifting cover plate 3 rises, the clamping is released, and the chain plate conveyor 2 transports the processed spice barrel 1 to the next process.

[0066] Through a number of spray heads 41 provided on the cleaning frame 4, the present invention realizes the thorough cleaning and rapid drying inside the spice barrel 1 by means of high-pressure water flow flushing and compressed air drying. As the cleaning frame 4 rotates, the spray heads 41 cover the inner wall of the spice barrel 1 in all directions, ensuring that every corner is effectively cleaned and dried.

[0067] As the sponge 45 physically wipes the inner wall of the spice barrel 1 after strong flushing or drying, its decontamination ability is enhanced in the wet state, and residual moisture is further absorbed in the dry state. At the same time, a plurality of sewage discharge ports 4411 arranged radially along the spice barrel 1 on the sewage discharge pipe 441 effectively collect and remove sewage or gas, reducing the risk of reattachment of pollutants. The purpose of efficient and thorough cleaning is achieved.

[0068] The above embodiments only represent one or several implementation manners of the present invention, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the appended claims.
