Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, and in particular to a cleaning device and a cleaning method for a hair cutter. Background Art

[0002] A hair cutter is a tool used to trim and remove hair. After use, the hair cutter head assembly often needs to be cleaned with foam detergent to remove hair residue. Currently, this is usually done manually by holding the hair cutter and rinsing the head assembly directly under the faucet, which is time-consuming and laborious.

[0003] To this end, the industry has introduced cleaning devices for cleaning the cutter head assembly of hair cutters, such as the electric shaver cleaner disclosed in Chinese Patent CN101138449A, the circulating cleaning stand for cleaning shavers disclosed in Chinese Patent CN219880731U, and the shaver cleaning base disclosed in Chinese Patent CN119279328B. All of these cleaning devices can clean and dry the cutter head assembly of hair cutters. However, the internal structures of these cleaning devices are relatively complex, making subsequent maintenance difficult and hindering assembly during the production process, resulting in low production efficiency. Furthermore, the complex structures also lead to high costs for the cleaning devices. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] To facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings.

[0030] It should be noted that when an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element and integrated therewith, or there may be an intermediate element. The terms "mounted", "one end", "the other end" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art. The terms used in this specification are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0032] Example 1

[0033] The present invention specifically provides an embodiment of a cleaning device for a hair cutter, see Figure 1-3B, including a cleaning tank 1, a liquid storage tank 2 and a liquid and air supply mechanism; the liquid and air supply mechanism includes a driving mechanism 3, an air supply part 4 and an infusion part, and the air supply part 4 and the infusion part are respectively connected to the driving mechanism 3; the driving mechanism 3 can be a motor that can rotate forward and reverse, a servo motor that can rotate forward and reverse, etc., and the first direction rotational motion mentioned below can be the forward rotation direction of the driving mechanism 3, or the reverse direction of the driving mechanism 3, and the second direction rotational motion can be the forward rotation direction of the driving mechanism 3, or the reverse direction of the driving mechanism 3, but the premise is that the directions of the first direction rotational motion and the second direction rotational motion are opposite; when the driving mechanism 3 outputs the first direction rotational motion, the driving mechanism 3 drives the infusion part to rotate to inject cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank 1, and when the driving mechanism 3 outputs the second direction rotational motion, the driving mechanism 3 drives the air supply part 4 to rotate to blow air into the cleaning tank 1. When the hair cutter head assembly needs to be cleaned, the hair cutter can be turned upside down and inserted into the cleaning tank 1. Cleaning liquid is then injected into the cleaning tank 1 to rinse or soak the hair cutter head assembly. After cleaning, the cleaning liquid is drained from the cleaning tank 1. The cleaning tank 1 and the hair cutter head assembly are then dried by the air supply member 4. In this embodiment, a single drive mechanism 3 drives both the air supply member 4 and the infusion member, eliminating the need for separate drive mechanisms for the air supply member 4 and the infusion member as in the prior art. This significantly simplifies the internal structure of the cleaning device, reduces maintenance requirements, facilitates assembly during production, and improves production efficiency. Furthermore, the simple structure reduces the cost of the cleaning device.

[0034] In this embodiment, see Figure 1-3B , a water inlet 5 and a drain outlet 6 are provided on the wall of the tank body 32 of the cleaning tank 1. The height of the water inlet 5 is higher than the drain outlet 6, and the diameter of the water inlet 5 is larger than the drain outlet 6, so that the cleaning liquid can be accumulated in the tank body 32 of the cleaning tank 1 to soak or rinse the cutter head; in this embodiment, a rubber plug or a valve can be provided at the drain outlet 6 to block the drain outlet 6, so as to contain the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 1 to soak and clean the cutter head assembly, and to soak away the foam or hair debris on the surface of the cutter head assembly. After cleaning, the cleaning liquid can be discharged by removing the rubber plug or opening the valve. The valve can be an electric valve or a manual valve. When an electric valve is used, it is electrically connected to the control module of the cleaning device. The control module controls the drive mechanism 3 and the electric valve to achieve automatic cleaning and drying of the cutter head assembly. Of course, the drain port 6 can also be sealed without a rubber plug or a valve. Since the diameter of the water inlet 5 is larger than that of the drain port 6, the water inlet speed will be faster than the water outlet speed. At this time, a certain amount of cleaning liquid can always be maintained in the cleaning tank 1. The cutter head assembly can be rinsed by continuously inflowing water to wash away foam or hair debris on the surface of the cutter head assembly. Figure 2-3BAn overflow port 7 may also be provided on the wall of the cleaning tank 1 to prevent the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 1 from overflowing outside the cleaning device when the cleaning liquid is full. The drain port 6 and the overflow port 7 in the cleaning tank 1 are both connected to the liquid storage tank 2. The cleaning liquid discharged from the drain port 6 and the cleaning liquid discharged from the overflow port 7 are filtered by the filter assembly before flowing into the liquid storage tank 2. The filter assembly filters out impurities and hairy debris in the cleaning liquid, thereby allowing the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage tank 2 to be recycled and saving costs. The cleaning device includes a shell 8, a partition 9 is provided inside the shell 8, a liquid storage tank 2 is provided below the partition 9, a filter assembly is provided inside the liquid storage tank 2, and a cleaning tank 1 is provided above the partition 9. The drain port 6 on the cleaning tank 1 passes through the partition 9 and extends to the top of the filter assembly below the partition 9. An overflow pipe 10 is provided inside the shell 8, specifically on the wall of the cleaning tank 1. One end of the overflow pipe 10 is connected to the overflow port 7 on the cleaning tank 1, and the other end also passes through the partition 9 and extends to the top of the filter assembly below the partition 9. A heating module 11 is provided between the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 and the partition 9. The heating module 11 can be provided on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1 to heat the wall of the cleaning tank 1 and cooperate with the air supply member 4 to quickly dry the wall of the cleaning tank 1 and the cutter head assembly. Figure 2-3B The filter assembly includes a filter element mounting seat 12 disposed in the liquid storage tank 2. A filter element 13 is disposed on the filter element mounting seat 12. The filter element 13 may be a filter mesh or a filter membrane. In this embodiment, a vibration module, such as an ultrasonic vibration module, may also be disposed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1. When cleaning the cutter head assembly, the vibration of the vibration module can more easily shake off hair debris on the surface of the cutter head assembly and cause it to fall into the cleaning liquid, where it flows out of the cleaning tank 1.

[0035] In the preferred embodiment, see Figure 2-3B The driving mechanism 3 includes a first output shaft, which is connected to the infusion component and the air supply component 4 at the same time. Figure 2 As shown, the driving mechanism 3 is located in the upper part of the housing 8, and its output shaft is downward and is connected to the air supply member 4 and the infusion member in sequence. The infusion member includes a rotating rod 14 connected to the first output shaft, and a spiral side plate 15 is provided on the side wall of the rotating rod 14 and along the axial direction of the rotating rod 14. The air supply member 4 includes a sleeve rod 16 connected to the first output shaft, and a plurality of fan blades 17 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the sleeve rod 16. Figure 4 , the fan blade 17 is curved or twisted, and the bending direction or twisting direction of the fan blade 17 is opposite to the rotation direction of the spiral side plate 15; when the fan blade 17 is curved, if the spiral side plate 15 is a right-handed structure, the fan blade 17 is bent to the left, such as Figure 2-4 If the spiral side plate 15 is a left-handed structure, the fan blade 17 is bent in the right direction; when the fan blade 17 is twisted, if the spiral side plate 15 is a right-handed structure, the fan blade 17 is twisted in the left direction, as shown Figure 2-4As shown; if the spiral side plate 15 is a left-handed structure, the fan blade 17 twists to the right. By making the bending direction or twisting direction of the fan blade 17 opposite to the rotation direction of the spiral side plate 15, when the driving mechanism 3 outputs a first direction rotational motion, the direction of the first rotational motion is the same as the rotation direction of the spiral side plate 15 and opposite to the bending direction or twisting direction of the fan blade 17. At this time, the spiral side plate 15 can transport the cleaning liquid upward and transport the cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank 1, but the wind force generated by the fan blade 17 is very weak and does not send air into the cleaning tank 1; when the driving mechanism 3 outputs a second direction rotational motion, the direction of the second rotational motion is the same as the bending direction or twisting direction of the fan blade 17 and opposite to the rotation direction of the spiral side plate 15. At this time, although the spiral side plate 15 also rotates, it cannot transport the cleaning liquid upward, and also cannot transport the cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank 1. However, the fan blade 17 can generate wind force and send air into the cleaning tank 1. This structural arrangement allows a single drive mechanism 3 to simultaneously drive the operation of two functional components, resulting in a compact and simple structure. Air from the air supply unit 4 also enters the cleaning tank 1 through the water inlet 5 on the cleaning tank 1, eliminating the need for additional air outlets on the wall of the cleaning tank 1. Grilles 18 are provided on the side walls of the housing 8 to not only dissipate heat but also provide a ventilation channel for the normal operation of the air supply unit 4. The present invention also provides another embodiment in which a driving mechanism 3 drives two functional components to operate. The driving mechanism 3 may include a first output shaft and a second output shaft. The first output shaft is connected to the infusion piece, and the second output shaft is connected to the air supply piece 4. The infusion piece includes a rotating rod 14 connected to the first output shaft, and a spiral side plate 15 is provided on the side wall of the rotating rod 14 and along the axial direction of the rotating rod 14. The air supply piece 4 includes a sleeve rod 16 connected to the second output shaft, and a plurality of fan blades 17 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the sleeve rod 16. The fan blades 17 are arc-shaped or twisted, and the bending direction of the fan blades 17 is opposite to the rotation direction of the spiral side plate 15. The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the driving mechanism 3 is located between the infusion piece and the air supply piece 4.The present invention also provides another embodiment of a driving mechanism 3 that drives two functional components to operate. The driving mechanism 3 includes a first output shaft and a second output shaft. The first output shaft is connected to the infusion component, and the second output shaft is connected to the air supply component 4. The second output shaft and the air supply component 4 are connected through a clutch. When the second output shaft rotates in the first direction, the clutch disconnects the second output shaft from the air supply component 4. When the second output shaft rotates in the second direction, the second output shaft drives the air supply component 4 to rotate through the clutch to blow air into the cleaning tank 1. The infusion component includes a rotating rod 14 connected to the first output shaft. A spiral side plate 15 is provided on the side wall of the rod 14 and along the axial direction of the rotating rod 14. The air supply member 4 includes a sleeve rod 16 connected to the second output shaft. A plurality of fan blades 17 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the sleeve rod 16. The fan blades 17 are arc-shaped or twisted, and the bending direction of the fan blades 17 is opposite to the rotation direction of the spiral side plate 15. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the driving mechanism 3 is located between the infusion member and the air supply member 4, and a clutch is provided between the air supply member 4 and the second output shaft. At this time, when the infusion member transports the cleaning fluid, there is no need to drive the air supply member 4 to operate, which can reduce the load and save energy consumption.

[0036] In the preferred embodiment, see Figure 2-3B The air and liquid supply mechanism also includes an outer sleeve 19 surrounding the infusion unit. The spiral side plate 15 of the infusion unit is located within the outer sleeve 19. A water outlet 20 is provided on the side wall of the outer sleeve 19. The water outlet 20 is connected to the cleaning tank 1. The bottom end of the outer sleeve 19 extends into the liquid storage tank 2. The outer sleeve 19 defines a transfer space for the cleaning liquid being transported, allowing the cleaning liquid to be quickly delivered to the cleaning tank 1.

[0037] In the preferred embodiment, see Figure 2-3B The air and liquid supply mechanism also includes an infusion sleeve 21, which is sleeved on the lower section of the infusion piece. A stepped hole is provided in the infusion sleeve 21, into which the lower section of the infusion piece is inserted, and the portion of the infusion piece inserted into the stepped hole is loosely fitted with the stepped hole. An elastic member 22 is sleeved on the outer side of the infusion piece. The elastic member 22 may be a spring, and one end of the elastic member 22 abuts against the step surface of the stepped hole. Since the portion of the infusion piece inserted into the stepped hole is loosely fitted with the stepped hole, the rotation of the infusion piece is unrestricted and friction is not generated. The cooperation between the infusion sleeve 21 and the infusion piece can achieve positioning of the infusion piece, ensuring stable operation during rotation. The support provided by the elastic member 22 can further prevent friction between the infusion piece and the infusion sleeve 21.

[0038] In the preferred embodiment, see Figure 2-3BThe air and liquid supply mechanism also includes a base 23, which is disposed in the liquid storage tank 2. A neck 24 is provided on the base 23. The infusion sleeve 21 is at least partially inserted into the neck 24, and a clearance fit is formed between the portion of the infusion sleeve 21 inserted into the neck 24 and the neck 24. A water inlet 25 is provided on the base 23 and communicates with the interior of the outer sleeve 19. The base 23 secures the infusion sleeve 21 to prevent it from detaching from the infusion sleeve. The clearance fit between the portion of the infusion sleeve 21 inserted into the neck 24 and the neck 24 prevents friction between the two. At the same time, the positioning of the infusion sleeve 21 further ensures the positioning of the infusion sleeve.

[0039] In the preferred embodiment, see Figure 2-3B The neck 24 is located on the bottom surface of the base 23, and the neck 24 makes the bottom surface of the base 23 suspended. The water inlet 25 is arranged on the bottom surface of the base 23. Through this structure, the water inlet 25 can be arranged on the bottom surface of the base 23, which is convenient for quickly sucking in the cleaning liquid.

[0040] In the preferred embodiment, see Figure 2 The outer wall of the infusion sleeve 21 and the bottom surface of the base 23 are engaged by a limiting structure. In this embodiment, a limiting protrusion 26 is provided in the base 23, and a step surface is provided on the outer wall of the infusion sleeve 21. The limiting protrusion 26 cooperates with the step surface on the outer wall of the infusion sleeve 21 to prevent the infusion sleeve 21 from separating from the base 23.

[0041] In the preferred embodiment, see Figure 2-3B A limiting hole 27 is provided on the side wall of the base 23, and a protrusion 28 is provided on the side wall of the outer sleeve 19. When the base 23 is sleeved on the outer sleeve 19, the protrusion 28 is inserted into the limiting hole 27. In this embodiment, an upwardly extending ear plate 29 is provided at the end of the outer sleeve 19, and a limiting hole 27 is provided on the ear plate 29. At the same time, a guiding inclined surface 30 inclined from the outside to the inside is provided on the top side wall of the ear plate 29. The bottom surface of the protrusion 28 on the outer sleeve 19 and the outer side wall of the bottom end of the outer sleeve 19 are both provided with inclined surfaces. When the outer sleeve 19 is inserted into the base 23, the inclined surface on the outer side wall of the bottom end of the outer sleeve 19 cooperates with the guiding inclined surface 30 on the ear plate 29 of the base 23, which is beneficial to the outer sleeve 19. Insertion, then the bottom surface of the protrusion 28 on the outer wall of the outer sleeve 19 cooperates with the guiding inclined surface 30 on the ear plate 29 to cause the ear plate 29 to elastically deform, facilitating the insertion of the protrusion 28. Then, under the elastic reset of the ear plate 29, the protrusion 28 is inserted into the limiting hole 27 on the ear plate 29. At the same time, the hole wall of the limiting hole 27 on the ear plate 29 contacts and cooperates with the top surface of the protrusion 28 to limit the separation of the outer sleeve 19 and the base 23, thereby indirectly connecting the infusion sleeve 21 to the outer sleeve 19. Through the above structure, the base 23, the outer sleeve 19, and the infusion sleeve 21 can be quickly assembled.

[0042] In the preferred embodiment, see Figure 2-3B The side wall of the outer sleeve 19 is provided with a connecting portion 31, which is sealed and connected to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1, and the water outlet 20 is located above the connecting portion 31. Specifically, the cleaning tank 1 includes a tank body 32, a driving mechanism mounting position and a liquid and air supply mechanism mounting position. The bottom end of the cleaning tank 1 is assembled and connected to the partition 9. A vent 33 corresponding to the grille 18 on the outer shell 8 is provided on the wall of the cleaning tank 1; the connecting portion 31 and the air supply member 4 on the side wall of the outer sleeve 19 are located in the liquid and air supply mechanism mounting position. The side wall of the connecting portion 31 is provided with an annular sealing groove, in which a sealing ring 34 is sleeved. The sealing ring 34 partially protrudes out of the annular sealing groove and is deformed by extrusion to achieve a sealed connection between the connecting portion 31 and the wall of the cleaning tank 1; through the sealed connection between the connecting portion 31 and the cleaning tank 1, the space of the cleaning tank 1 below the connecting portion 31 is formed into a sealed waterless space, and the heating module 11 and the vibration module can be installed in this space to avoid malfunction when exposed to water. In this embodiment, the unique design of the liquid and air supply mechanism enables the air supply member 4 to supply air into the tank body 32 through the water inlet 5, avoiding the need for too many through holes in the tank body 32 and ensuring the structural strength of the cleaning tank 1.

[0043] Example 2

[0044] The present invention further specifically provides another embodiment of a hair cutter cleaning device, comprising a cleaning tank 1, a liquid storage tank 2, and a liquid and air supply mechanism. The liquid and air supply mechanism includes a drive mechanism 3, an air supply member 4, and a liquid infusion member, each of which is connected to the drive mechanism 3. The drive mechanism 3 may be a forward and reverse motor, a forward and reverse servo motor, or the like. The first-direction rotational motion referred to below may refer to either the forward or reverse direction of the drive mechanism 3. When the drive mechanism 3 outputs the first-direction rotational motion, the drive mechanism 3 drives the liquid infusion member to rotate to inject cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank 1 or drives the air supply member 4 to rotate to blow air into the cleaning tank 1. To clean the hair cutter head assembly, the hair cutter can be inverted and inserted into the cleaning tank 1. Cleaning liquid is then injected into the cleaning tank 1 to rinse or soak the hair cutter head assembly. After cleaning, the cleaning liquid is discharged from the cleaning tank 1, and the air supply member 4 is then operated to dry the cleaning tank 1 and the hair cutter head assembly. In this embodiment, a single drive mechanism 3 is used to drive the operation of the air supply member 4 and the operation of the infusion member, thereby avoiding the need to equip the air supply member 4 and the infusion member with corresponding drive structures as in the prior art. This greatly simplifies the internal structure of the cleaning device, reduces the difficulty of subsequent maintenance, facilitates assembly during the production process, and improves production efficiency. At the same time, due to the simple structure, the cost of the cleaning device is also reduced. Alternatively, when the drive mechanism 3 outputs a first direction rotational motion, the drive mechanism 3 drives the infusion member to rotate to inject cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank 1 or drives the air supply member 4 to rotate to blow air into the cleaning tank 1.

[0045] This embodiment differs from the aforementioned embodiment 1 in that the drive mechanism 3 only outputs a first-direction rotational motion. Specifically, the drive mechanism 3 includes a first output shaft and a second output shaft, the first output shaft being connected to the infusion member, and the second output shaft being connected to the air supply member 4. The first output shaft and the infusion member, and the second output shaft and the air supply member 4, are respectively connected via clutches. When it is necessary to inject cleaning fluid into the cleaning tank 1, the clutch between the second output shaft and the air supply member 4 disconnects the two, and the first output shaft rotates in the first direction to drive the infusion member to rotate and inject cleaning fluid into the cleaning tank 1. When it is necessary to blow air into the cleaning tank 1, the clutch between the first output shaft and the infusion member disconnects the two, and the second output shaft rotates in the first direction to drive the air supply member 4 to rotate and blow air into the cleaning tank 1.

[0046] Except for the above differences, other structures of this embodiment are at least the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0047] The connection between the output shaft and the clutch in the above embodiment 1 and embodiment 2 belongs to the prior art and is not the inventive point of the present invention.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] The present invention further specifically provides an embodiment of a cleaning method, specifically a cleaning method for a hair cutter cleaning device. First, the drive mechanism 3 outputs a first-direction rotational motion and drives the infusion member to rotate. During the rotation of the infusion member, cleaning fluid is delivered and injected into the cleaning tank 1 to rinse or soak the cutter head assembly to be cleaned. Next, the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank 1 is drained, and the drive mechanism 3 outputs a second-direction rotational motion and drives the air supply member 4 to rotate. The air supply member 4 blows air into the cleaning tank 1 to dry the cleaned cutter head assembly. Alternatively, first, the drive mechanism 3 outputs a first-direction rotational motion and drives the infusion member to rotate. During the rotation of the infusion member, cleaning fluid is delivered and injected into the cleaning tank 1 to rinse or soak the cutter head assembly to be cleaned. Next, the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank 1 is drained, and the drive mechanism 3 again outputs a first-direction rotational motion and drives the air supply member 4 to rotate. The air supply member 4 blows air into the cleaning tank 1 to dry the cleaned cutter head assembly.

[0050] Since the cleaning method adopts the same driving mechanism 3 to drive the infusion part and the air supply part 4 to operate, the cleaning control method is simple, and the internal structure of the cleaning device adopting the cleaning method is simplified, the difficulty of subsequent maintenance is low, it is conducive to assembly during the production process, and the production efficiency is high. At the same time, due to the simple structure, the cost of the cleaning device is also reduced.

[0051] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, when a first feature is "above" or "below" a second feature, it may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, when a first feature is "above," "above," or "above" a second feature, it may mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a higher level than the second feature. When a first feature is "below," "below," or "below" a second feature, it may mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is at a lower level than the second feature.
