Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a cleaning device, in particular to a watercolor illustration brush cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] Cleaning brushes is a frequent and crucial step in the watercolor painting process. Traditionally, brush cleaning for watercolor illustrations involves immersion, where the artist simply dips the brush into a container of water and relies on the pigment's natural dissolution and diffusion. However, this method has numerous drawbacks.

[0003] On the one hand, the water in the container cannot be automatically refreshed during static immersion. As the number of brushes washed increases, the pigment concentration in the water continues to rise. During the washing process, the brushes will repeatedly come into contact with the wastewater containing a large amount of residual pigment, which greatly reduces the cleaning effect and makes it difficult to thoroughly clean the brushes, affecting the color purity and image quality of subsequent paintings.

[0004] On the other hand, static immersion cleaning is inefficient. Pigments naturally dissolve slowly in water, and for some firmly attached pigments, static immersion alone often takes a long time to achieve a certain cleaning effect. This not only wastes a lot of time and energy of the artist, but also interrupts the creative rhythm to a certain extent, reducing the efficiency of the work.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, this technical solution proposes a new watercolor illustration brush cleaning device. Summary of the Invention

[0054] Cleaning is completed: After cleaning is completed, click the stop button on the touch screen LCD 18 of the controller 17 to turn off the motor device 4.

[0055] The butterfly clamping bolt 10 is rotated in the reverse direction to release the fixation of the paintbrush by the rubber pad 12 and the arc-shaped fixing plate 8 , and then the paintbrush is taken out of the paintbrush cleaning cylinder 5 .

[0056] The device can be placed in place and wait for the next use; if it needs to be moved, it can be carried by the handle 19.

[0057] Efficient cleaning mechanism:

[0058] Continuous water exchange: The unique height difference between the water inlet pipe 13 and the water outlet pipe 15 ensures that clean water always flows into the brush cleaning barrel 5 during the cleaning process. As the brush is cleaned, fresh water is continuously introduced and dirty water is discharged, preventing the brush from repeatedly coming into contact with dirty water during the cleaning process. This significantly improves the cleaning effect and ensures that the brush is thoroughly cleaned.

[0059] Stirring Assist: Motor 4 drives stirring blades 6 to rotate, stirring the water in brush cleaning tube 5. This stirring creates the impact of the water flow, effectively removing paint adhering to the brush. Compared with traditional static immersion cleaning methods, it greatly shortens cleaning time and improves cleaning efficiency.

[0060] Convenient operation experience:

[0061] Brush Fixing: The combination of auxiliary block 7, curved fixing plate 8, nut 9, butterfly clamping bolt 10, and rubber pad 12 makes it easy to secure and release the brush. The operation is simple and easy to understand, requiring no additional tools, and the rubber pad 12 effectively prevents damage to the brush during fixing.

[0062] Intelligent control: The controller 17 is equipped with a touch screen LCD display 18, which makes the operation of starting and stopping the motor device 4 intuitive and convenient. The user only needs to click the corresponding button on the screen to start and stop the device, which reduces the difficulty of operation and improves the user experience.
