[0029] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0030] In conjunction with Figures 1 to 6To describe this embodiment, this embodiment provides an automated mold cleaning device, including: a device main body 1; a flipping mechanism 2, which is arranged inside the device main body 1 for flipping and cleaning. The flipping mechanism 2 includes a bottom plate 21. A first driving member 22 is installed at the upper end of the bottom plate 21. One end of the first driving member 22 is drivingly connected to a rotating rod 23. First transmission belts 24 are installed at both ends of the rotating rod 23. A belt 25 is sleeved outside the first transmission belts 24. The inner wall of the belt 25 is drivingly connected to a second transmission belt 26. A pneumatic clamp 27 is installed at one end of the second transmission belt 26. The outer surface of the first transmission belt 24 cooperates with the inner wall of the belt 25, and the outer surface of the second transmission belt 26 cooperates with the inner wall of the belt 25. Two groups of pneumatic clamps 27 are installed. The inner wall of the pneumatic clamp 27 is made of rubber material. In the innovation and optimization of the mold cleaning equipment, by integrally installing the flipping mechanism 2 and the lifting mechanism 3 inside the device main body 1, a set of efficient and intelligent cleaning system is constructed. Specifically, the core design of the flipping mechanism 2 lies in its precise transmission structure: the first driving member 22 is stably installed at the upper end of the bottom plate 21. When the first driving member 22 is started, its output end will drive the rotating rod 23 to rotate synchronously and stably. The two ends of the rotating rod 23 are ingeniously connected to the first transmission belts 24, and these two first transmission belts 24 achieve efficient power transmission through the belt 25 and the corresponding second transmission belts 26. Between the two groups of second transmission belts 26, two groups of pneumatic clamps 27 are specially installed. They adopt advanced pneumatic control technology and can quickly and stably clamp the mold. Thanks to this transmission design, the pneumatic clamps 27 installed between the two groups of second transmission belts 26 can rotate 360 degrees without dead angles, and cooperate with the spray heads 47 scientifically arranged inside the device main body 1 to perform all-round and deep spraying and cleaning on the surface of the mold, efficiently removing the dust and stubborn stains attached to the mold.

[0031] To further improve the convenience and efficiency of the cleaning process, a lifting mechanism 3 is innovatively integrated at the lower end of the flipping mechanism 2. By starting the second driving member 32, this mechanism drives the two groups of rotating teeth 33 at the upper end of the rod to rotate precisely. The precise meshing design between the rotating teeth 33 and the rack 34 enables the rack 34 to move smoothly up and down along the preset trajectory. This design greatly simplifies the process of taking and placing the mold. Workers can easily complete the loading and unloading operations of the mold without bending down or using other laborious methods, significantly reducing the labor intensity and improving the overall work efficiency. At the same time, to ensure the stability and accuracy of the bottom plate 21 during the lifting process, guide rods 35 are specially installed at both ends of the built-in plate member 31. The bottom plate 21 will slide along the guide rods 35 during the lifting process. This support and guiding mechanism effectively prevents the bottom plate 21 from shifting during the lifting process, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the mold cleaning.

[0032] It is particularly worth mentioning that the inner wall of the pneumatic clamp 27 is made of high-quality rubber material with special treatment; this rubber material not only has good elasticity and wear resistance, but also can significantly increase the friction between the clamp and the mold, ensuring that the mold always maintains a stable clamping state during the cleaning process, avoiding poor cleaning effect or equipment damage due to loosening or slipping; through this series of innovative designs, the mold cleaning device realizes multi-angle, fast and efficient cleaning of the mold, completely getting rid of the cumbersome operation of manual turning over in the traditional cleaning method, and bringing revolutionary progress to the mold cleaning industry.

[0033] The lifting mechanism 3 is arranged at the lower end of the flipping mechanism 2 for easy placement. The lifting mechanism 3 includes a built-in plate 31. A second driving member 32 is installed on the built-in plate 31. One end of the second driving member 32 is connected to a rotating gear 33, and one end of the rotating gear 33 is connected to a rack 34. Both ends of the built-in plate 31 are connected to a guide rod 35. The outer surface of the rotating gear 33 is meshed with one end of the rack 34. Two groups of guide rods 35 are installed. The lifting mechanism 3 is installed at the lower end of the flipping mechanism 2. In the optimized design of the mold cleaning device, the ingenious conception and fine layout of the lifting mechanism 3 have brought a revolution to the mold placement process. Specifically, when the second driving member 32 is started, its powerful driving force will be quickly transmitted to the two sets of rotating teeth 33 installed on the upper end of the rod, causing them to start to rotate stably and accurately; the two sets of rotating teeth 33 and the rack 34 are precisely meshed, and when the rotating teeth 33 rotate, they will drive the rack 34 to move up and down along a predetermined trajectory; this ingenious design allows the mold clamped on the pneumatic clamp 27 to be easily lifted and lowered, and the staff no longer need to bend over or use other laborious and inefficient methods to pick up and put the mold, thereby greatly improving work efficiency and reducing labor intensity;

[0034] At the same time, in order to ensure the stability and accuracy of the bottom plate 21 during the lifting process and avoid affecting the mold placement effect due to shaking or offset, guide rods 35 are specially installed at both ends of the built-in plate 31; the bottom plate 21 will slide closely against the guide rods 35 during the lifting process. This support and guide mechanism is like laying a precise track for the bottom plate 21, effectively preventing any offset or shaking during the lifting process, ensuring the accuracy of mold placement;

[0035] In addition, in the design of the pneumatic fixture 27, full consideration has been given to the clamping stability and safety; the inner wall of the pneumatic fixture 27 is carefully crafted with high-quality rubber material. This rubber material not only has good flexibility and wear resistance, but more importantly, it can significantly increase the friction between the fixture and the mold. When the mold is clamped by the pneumatic fixture 27, the rubber inner wall will closely fit the surface of the mold, forming a strong frictional force to ensure that the mold always maintains a stable clamping state during the cleaning process and will not loosen or slip due to the vibration or water flow impact during the cleaning process. This design not only improves the cleaning effect but also greatly enhances the safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0036] The reciprocating spraying mechanism 4 is arranged at the upper end of the device main body 1 for reciprocating spraying. The reciprocating spraying mechanism 4 includes a machine cover 41. A third driving member 43 is installed inside the machine cover 41. The lower end of the third driving member 43 is drivingly connected to a half gear 44. A gear ring 45 is sleeved outside the half gear 44. Sleeve rods 46 are installed at both ends of the gear ring 45. A spray head 47 is installed at one end of the sleeve rod 46. A water pump 48 is installed at one end of the device main body 1. One end of the water pump 48 is inserted with a water outlet pipe 49. The outer surface of the half gear 44 meshes with the gear ring 45. Two groups of spray heads 47 are installed. The reciprocating spraying mechanism 4 is installed at the upper end of the device main body 1. The machine cover 41 covers the upper end of the cleaning bucket at the upper end of the device main body 1. Water flow is transmitted through the water inlet pipe 42 on the machine cover 41. After the third driving member 43 is started, the half gear 44 rotates and meshes with the tooth surface on the inner wall of the sleeve rod 46, causing the spray heads 47 installed on the sleeve rods 46 at both ends of the gear ring 45 to move horizontally back and forth to spray and clean the mold. The sewage after cleaning is discharged through the water pump 48 and the water outlet pipe 49, solving the problem that the position of the existing spray head 47 is fixed and improving the spraying area and flexibility of the spray head 47;

[0037] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: In the process of optimizing the mold cleaning technology, by ingeniously integrating the flipping mechanism 2 and the lifting mechanism 3 inside the device main body 1, the automation degree and operation convenience of mold cleaning have been significantly improved. Specifically, the design of the flipping mechanism 2 is particularly ingenious. A first driving member 22 is stably installed at the upper end of the bottom plate 21. After the first driving member 22 is started, it can drive the connected rotating rod 23 to rotate synchronously. The two ends of the rotating rod 23 are ingeniously driven by the first transmission belt 24 and the belt 25 to drive the second transmission belt 26 to rotate. Between the two groups of second transmission belts 26, two groups of pneumatic fixtures 27 are specially installed. They tightly clamp the mold by pneumatic means to ensure the stability of the mold during the cleaning process. Thanks to this transmission design, the pneumatic fixtures 27 installed between the two groups of second transmission belts 26 can rotate 360 degrees without dead angles, and cooperate with the spray heads 47 carefully arranged inside the device main body 1 to spray and clean the surface of the mold comprehensively and without omission, effectively removing the dust and stains on the mold;

[0038] To further improve the cleaning efficiency and operation convenience, a lifting mechanism 3 is also integrated at the lower end of the flipping mechanism 2. By starting the second driving member 32, this mechanism drives the two sets of rotating teeth 33 at the upper end of the rod to rotate. The precise meshing between the rotating teeth 33 and the rack 34 enables the rack 34 to move up and down along a preset trajectory. This design greatly simplifies the process of taking and placing the mold. Workers can easily complete the loading and unloading of the mold without bending down or using other laborious methods, significantly reducing the labor intensity and improving the work efficiency. At the same time, to ensure the stability and accuracy of the bottom plate 21 during the lifting process, guide rods 35 are specially installed at both ends of the built-in plate member 31. The bottom plate 21 slides along the guide rods 35 during the lifting process. This support and guiding mechanism effectively prevents the bottom plate 21 from shifting during the lifting process, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of mold cleaning. Through this series of innovative designs, multi-angle, fast, and efficient cleaning of the mold is achieved, completely getting rid of the cumbersome operation of manual turning in the traditional cleaning method.

[0039] In addition, to further improve the cleaning effect and the flexibility of the spray head 47, a reciprocating spraying mechanism 4 is specially installed at the upper end of the device main body 1. This mechanism is tightly covered on the cleaning bucket at the upper end of the device main body 1 through the machine cover 41 to form a closed cleaning environment. A water inlet pipe 42 is provided on the machine cover 41 for transmitting cleaning water flow into the cleaning bucket. When the third driving member 43 is started, the semi-gear 44 begins to rotate and meshes precisely with the tooth surface on the inner wall of the sleeve rod 46. This meshing effect enables the sleeve rods 46 at both ends of the tooth ring 45 to drive the spray head 47 to perform a horizontal reciprocating movement. This reciprocating movement trajectory of the spray head 47 greatly broadens its spraying area, enabling the cleaning water flow to cover the mold surface more evenly and comprehensively, thereby improving the cleaning effect and efficiency. After the cleaning is completed, the sewage is quickly discharged through the water pump 48 and the water outlet pipe 49, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the cleaning environment. This innovative design not only solves the problems of the fixed position and limited spraying area of the traditional spray head 47, but also significantly improves the flexibility and spraying efficiency of the spray head 47, bringing a revolutionary progress to the mold cleaning technology.
