Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bread making, and in particular to an intelligent sensor cleaning device for bread ovens and a complete cleaning method for the entire process. Background Technology

[0002] In the bread baking industry, cleaning bread ovens is crucial. Traditional bread ovens easily accumulate bread crumbs, grease, and other residues inside during use. If not cleaned promptly, this not only affects the quality of the bread, causing off-flavors and poor color, but also poses safety hazards due to the accumulation of residue at high temperatures, such as increasing the risk of fire. Currently, the most common cleaning method relies on manual labor. Manual cleaning is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also... Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings mentioned above in the background technology, the present invention provides an intelligent sensor cleaning device for bread ovens.

[0004] The present invention adopts the following technical solution: A smart sensor-guided cleaning device and a complete cleaning method for a bread oven, characterized in that the device comprises: A cleaning mechanism that moves and rises within the furnace body includes a cleaning housing, a movable part, a brush, and a rag. The cleaning housing has an internal accommodating space with an opening on one side connecting to the accommodating space. A water bucket is located at the bottom of the accommodating space. The movable part is located within the accommodating space and is movable and rotatable. Each side of the movable part has a brush and a rag. The rag is retractable and detachable. The brush includes a turntable, bristles, and a rotating shaft. The turntable has bristles and a rotating shaft on its two sides. The rotating shaft is eccentrically positioned and rotates within the movable part. The turntable is hollow, forming a cavity for holding cleaning fluid. The side of the turntable near the bristles has a fluid outlet connecting to the cavity, and the side of the turntable near the rotating shaft has a fixed opening connecting to the cavity. A drive mechanism for driving the movable part to move and steer includes a back plate, a first slider, a second slider, a connecting rod, a third slider, a fourth slider, and bearings. The back plate is fixed to the inner wall of the accommodating space and has a sliding groove. The back plate has a liftable first slider. The first slider has a second slider that can move left and right. The second slider is hinged to the third slider through a connecting rod. The third slider is located on the back plate and can move left and right. The second slider has a rotatable fourth slider. One end of the fourth slider is fixed to the movable part, and the other end has two bearings that slide along the sliding groove. A liquid dispensing mechanism is provided on the turntable. The liquid dispensing mechanism includes a pressing sleeve, a piston rod, a spring, and a piston plate. The pressing sleeve is installed at the fixed port and is made of elastic material. The pressing sleeve is provided with a piston rod. The piston rod passes through the liquid outlet and is connected to the piston plate. A spring is sleeved on the outside of the piston rod. The two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the pressing sleeve and the inner wall of the cavity. The extension and retraction of the piston plate controls the opening and closing of the liquid outlet. The pressing mechanism for pressing the pressing sleeve includes a fixed plate and a protrusion. The fixed plate is fixed to the side of the movable part, and the surface of the fixed plate is provided with a protrusion. When the brush rotates to the appropriate position, the protrusion can accurately press the pressing sleeve. The movable part moves and turns, causing the brush and the cloth to extend out of the opening alternately for use, and when the cloth moves out of the opening, the brush extends downward into the water bucket for cleaning.

[0005] As a further improvement, the top of the movable part is provided with a retractable telescopic plate, and the rag is detachably mounted on the telescopic plate.

[0006] As a further improvement, the telescopic plate is equipped with multiple electromagnets, and the bottom of the rag is equipped with multiple magnetic blocks. When the electromagnets are energized, they can attract the magnetic blocks.

[0007] As a further improvement, the device also includes a placement rack, which is arranged corresponding to the movable part. The placement rack includes a main board, a side plate, and a bottom plate. Two main boards are symmetrically arranged on the top inner wall of the accommodating space. A side plate is provided on each side of the main board, and a bottom plate is provided at the bottom. Multiple rags are stacked and placed in the space enclosed by the main board, side plates, and bottom plate, with their two ends supported on the two bottom plates. A gap is provided between the two bottom plates for the telescopic plate to take the rags.

[0008] As a further improvement, the bottom surface of the telescopic plate is provided with multiple guide rods, which can slide through the guide hole at the top of the movable part and enter the mounting cavity.

[0009] As a further improvement, the brush's rotating shaft passes through the movable part and enters the mounting cavity of the movable part, and is driven by a motor located in the mounting cavity.

[0010] As a further improvement, the rotating shaft is a hollow structure and communicates with the cavity. The other end of the rotating shaft is connected to an external liquid replenishment pipe through a connector, and the rotating shaft and the connector are rotatably connected.

[0011] The complete cleaning method for the equipment of the present invention can be as follows: The staff placed the device in a suitable position inside the furnace and put it into standby mode. The cleaning mechanism is located inside the furnace and moves and rises and falls to ensure that the cleaning mechanism and the part to be cleaned are in the appropriate relative position. The drive mechanism starts working, and through the coordinated movement of each slider on the back plate and the transmission action of the connecting rod, it precisely controls the movement and direction of the moving part, so that the brush extends out from the opening of the cleaning shell and is aimed at the area to be cleaned on the inner wall of the furnace. At this time, the rotating shaft drives the turntable and the brush bristles to rotate. When the brush rotates to the appropriate position, the protrusion squeezes the pressing sleeve, pushing the piston rod and piston plate away from the liquid outlet. At this time, the liquid outlet opens, and the cleaning liquid in the cavity flows out through the liquid outlet and permeates the bristles. During the squeezing process, the spring is compressed. When the protrusion leaves the pressing sleeve, the spring rebounds, driving the piston rod and piston plate to reset. The piston plate then re-blocks the liquid outlet, stopping the liquid discharge. As the brush bristles, coated with cleaning fluid, rotate, they scrub away bread crumbs, grease, and other residues from the inner wall of the oven. The cleaning mechanism continues to move, ensuring that the brushes cover every corner of the inner wall of the oven for thorough cleaning. Once the brush has finished cleaning the current area, the drive mechanism controls the moving part to move and turn, causing the cloth to extend out of the opening. At the same time, the brush stops rotating, moves downward, and extends into the water bucket at the bottom of the receiving space to clean the bristles with clean water. After the brush is used to clean, the movable part should keep the cloth extended and in contact with the cleaned area on the inner wall of the furnace. Driven by the cleaning mechanism, the rag wipes the inner wall of the furnace from all angles. When a rag has been used for a period of time, its cleaning ability decreases, and it needs to be replaced with a new rag. Repeat the above process until all areas of the furnace inner wall have been cleaned. Once the inner wall of the furnace has been completely cleaned, the cleaning mechanism returns to its initial position, the device stops working, and the cleaning process is complete. The staff can then remove the device from the furnace.

[0012] As described above, this invention offers the following advantages compared to existing technologies: The cleaning mechanism serves as the primary actuator, and its ingenious internal design, such as the flexible movement and steering of the movable part, allows the brush and cloth to work alternately. Furthermore, the brush automatically extends into the water bucket for cleaning while the cloth is in operation, ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning tools and improving cleaning effectiveness. The drive mechanism provides precise power control for the movement and steering of the movable part. Through the coordinated operation of components such as the back plate, multiple sliders, connecting rods, and bearings, the direction and angle of movement of the movable part can be precisely adjusted, ensuring that the brush and cloth accurately reach the designated cleaning position. The brush design is ingenious; the hollow rotating disc stores cleaning fluid, and the combination of the dispensing and squeezing mechanisms squeezes out the cleaning fluid at the appropriate time, enhancing the cleaning effect. In summary, the device of this invention significantly improves cleaning efficiency and quality, reduces manual labor intensity, and enhances the automation level of bread oven cleaning. It possesses significant innovation and practicality, and plays a positive role in promoting the development of the bread baking industry. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The specific embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] As attached Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, an intelligent sensor cleaning device for a bread oven is disclosed. The device is mainly composed of a cleaning mechanism 2, a driving mechanism 3, a squeezing mechanism 4, and a liquid dispensing mechanism 6. The various parts work together to achieve all-round and automated cleaning of the inner wall of the oven body 1.

[0025] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 2 is the main component responsible for the cleaning work. It moves and rises within the furnace body 1 via a movable base 3, allowing it to reach every corner of the furnace body 1 for cleaning. The movable base 3 is highly flexible in design; it can be a remote-controlled platform, allowing operators to control its movement remotely, or a sensor-operated platform, automatically sensing and planning its movement path based on the internal environment of the furnace body 1, thus precisely moving the cleaning mechanism 2 along the inner wall of the furnace body 1. Simultaneously, the movable base 3 is equipped with a telescopic cylinder, which flexibly drives the cleaning mechanism 2 to rise and fall, ensuring that the cleaning mechanism 2 can adapt to different heights within the furnace body 1, achieving comprehensive cleaning.

[0026] As attached Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 2 has an ingenious structural design, including a cleaning housing 21, a movable part 24, a brush 25, and a cloth 26. The cleaning housing 21 has an internal accommodating space 22, with an opening 23 on one side connecting to the accommodating space 22. A bucket 27 is placed at the bottom of the accommodating space 22 for washing the brush 25. The movable part 24 is located within the accommodating space 22 and can move and turn flexibly. The brush 25 and cloth 26 are respectively mounted on its two sides. The brush 25 consists of a turntable 251, bristles 252, and a rotating shaft 253. The bristles 252 and rotating shaft 253 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the turntable 251. The rotating shaft 253 is eccentrically positioned and mounted on the movable part 24, allowing it to rotate. In actual use, the movable part 24 moves and turns, allowing the brush 25 and cloth 26 to alternately extend from the opening 23 for operation. (See attached diagram) Figure 10 As shown, when the rag 26 moves out of the opening 23, the brush 25 will be inserted downward into the water bucket 27 for cleaning, ensuring the cleanliness of the brush 25 so that subsequent cleaning work can be carried out better. The movement and steering of the movable part 24 is driven by the drive mechanism 3.

[0027] As attached Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the drive mechanism 3 provides power and precise control for the movement and steering of the movable part 24. It consists of a back plate 31, a first slider 33, a second slider 34, a connecting rod 35, a third slider 36, a fourth slider 37, and bearings 38. The back plate 31 is fixed to the inner side wall of the accommodating space 22 and has a sliding groove 32 on it. The first slider 33, which can be raised and lowered, is mounted on the back plate 31. The second slider 34, which can move left and right, is mounted on the first slider 33. The second slider 34 is hinged to the third slider 36 via the connecting rod 35. The third slider 36 is driven by a first cylinder 39 located on the cleaning housing 21. The third slider 36 is hinged to the piston 310 of the first cylinder 39, allowing the third slider 36 to move left and right on the back plate 31. The second slider 34 has a rotatable fourth slider 37 mounted on it. One end of the fourth slider 37 is fixedly connected to the movable part 24, and the other end has two bearings 38, which can slide along the sliding groove 32. In actual use, through the coordinated movement of each slider and the transmission action of the connecting rod, the drive mechanism 3 can precisely control the moving direction and angle of the moving part 24, ensuring that the brush 25 and the rag 26 can accurately reach the designated cleaning position.

[0028] As attached Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the design of brush 25 not only considers the cleaning effect but also incorporates the function of supplying cleaning fluid. Specifically, the interior of the turntable 251 is hollow, forming a cavity 254 for storing cleaning fluid. A fluid outlet 2531 is provided on the side of the turntable 251 near the bristles 252, communicating with the cavity 254. A fixing port 2532 is provided on the side near the rotating shaft 253, also communicating with the cavity 254. A fluid dispensing mechanism 6 is installed on the turntable 251, which includes a pressing sleeve 61, a piston rod 62, a spring 63, and a piston plate 64. The pressing sleeve 61, made of an elastic material (such as rubber), is installed at the fixed port 2532 and has good resilience. A piston rod 62 is connected to it, passing through the outlet 2531 and connecting to a piston plate 64. A spring 63 is fitted around the outside of the piston rod 62, with its two ends connected to the pressing sleeve 61 and the inner wall of the cavity 254, respectively. The piston plate 64 controls the opening and closing of the outlet 2531 by extending and retracting. The diameter of the piston plate 64 is larger than the diameter of the outlet 2531 to ensure effective blocking of the outlet and prevent the cleaning fluid from flowing out when not needed. The dispensing mechanism 6 operates by squeezing the pressing sleeve 61 using the squeezing mechanism 4.

[0029] As attached Figure 6and Figure 8 As shown, the squeezing mechanism 4 has a relatively simple structure but plays a crucial role. It consists of a fixed plate 41 and a protrusion 42. The fixed plate 41 is fixed to the side of the movable part 24, and its surface is provided with the protrusion 42. When the brush 25 rotates to the appropriate position, the protrusion 42 can accurately squeeze the pressing sleeve 61, thereby causing the liquid dispensing mechanism 6 to work, allowing the cleaning liquid to flow out from the liquid outlet 2531, providing cleaning liquid to the brush 25 and enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0030] As attached Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the design of the cleaning cloth 26 also embodies intelligence and convenience, as it is both retractable and detachable. Specifically, the top of the movable part 24 is equipped with a retractable lifting plate 241, on which multiple electromagnets 242 are installed. The bottom of the cleaning cloth 26 is equipped with multiple magnetic blocks 261. When the electromagnets 242 are energized, they attract the magnetic blocks 261, allowing the cleaning cloth 26 to be detachably installed on the retractable plate 241. This design facilitates the replacement and cleaning of the cleaning cloth 26, ensuring hygiene during the cleaning process. The retractable plate 241 is driven to extend and retract by a second cylinder 244 located in the mounting cavity 24a of the movable part 24. Furthermore, the bottom surface of the retractable plate 241 is equipped with multiple guide rods 243, which slide through the guide holes at the top of the movable part 24 and enter the mounting cavity 24a. The guide rods 243 ensure the stability of the retractable plate 241 during its extension and retraction.

[0031] As attached Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, to facilitate the replacement of the cleaning cloth 26, the device is also equipped with a placement rack 5, which is correspondingly arranged with the movable part 24. The placement rack 5 consists of a main board 51, side plates 52, and a base plate 53. Two main boards 51 are symmetrically arranged on the top inner wall of the accommodating space 22. A side plate 52 is provided on each side of the main board 51, and a base plate 53 is provided at the bottom. Multiple cleaning cloths 26 are stacked and placed in the space enclosed by the main board 51, side plates 52, and base plate 53, with both ends supported on the two base plates 53. A gap is provided between the two base plates 53 for the telescopic plate 241 to retrieve the cleaning cloths 26. When it is necessary to replace the cleaning cloth 26, the telescopic plate 241 can rise through this gap to the placement rack 5 to retrieve the new cleaning cloth 26. The whole process is highly automated and very convenient.

[0032] It is worth mentioning that, as shown in the attached document Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the rotating shaft 253 of the brush 25 passes through the movable part 24 and enters the mounting cavity 24a of the movable part 24. It is driven to rotate by a motor 257 located within the mounting cavity 24a, providing power for the cleaning operation of the brush 25. Furthermore, the rotating shaft 253 has a hollow structure and is connected to the cavity 254. The other end of the rotating shaft 253 is connected to a replenishment tube 259 via a connector 258, allowing for convenient replenishment of cleaning fluid into the cavity 254. The rotating shaft 253 and the connector 258 are rotatably connected, ensuring that the rotation of the rotating shaft 253 does not affect the replenishment of cleaning fluid. The replenishment tube 259 is a flexible hose that can be bent to avoid obstructing the movement and rotation of the movable part 24. To achieve the transmission connection between the rotating shaft 253 and the motor 257, a driven gear 255 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 253, and a driving gear 256 is installed on the output shaft of the motor 257. The driving gear 256 meshes with the driven gear 255, and the rotating shaft 253 is driven to rotate through gear transmission. This transmission method is stable and reliable, which can ensure the stable rotation speed of the brush 25 and improve the cleaning effect.

[0033] In summary, the full-process cleaning method for the equipment of the present invention can be as follows: The staff placed the device in a suitable position inside the furnace body 1, and put it into standby mode; The mobile base 3 begins operation according to the preset mode. If the remote control mode is selected, the operator uses the remote to control the movement of the mobile base 3, causing it to move the cleaning mechanism 2 along the inner wall of the furnace body 1. If the sensor mode is selected, the mobile base 3 automatically senses and plans the optimal movement path based on the environmental information inside the furnace body 1, accurately reaching the area to be cleaned. Simultaneously, the telescopic cylinder on the mobile base 3 flexibly drives the cleaning mechanism 2 to rise and fall according to the height of the inner wall of the furnace body 1, ensuring that the cleaning mechanism 2 is in the appropriate relative position to the area to be cleaned. The drive mechanism 3 starts working, precisely controlling the movement and direction of the movable part 24 through the coordinated movement of the sliders on the back plate 31 and the transmission action of the connecting rod 35, so that the brush 25 extends out from the opening 23 of the cleaning housing 21 and is aligned with the area to be cleaned on the inner wall of the furnace body 1. At this time, the motor 257 starts, and the drive gear 256 on its output shaft drives the driven gear 255 on the outside of the rotating shaft 253 to rotate, thereby causing the rotating shaft 253 to drive the turntable 251 and the brush bristles 252 to rotate; When the brush 25 rotates to the appropriate position, the protrusion 42 on the side fixing plate 41 of the movable part 24 squeezes the pressing sleeve 61. After the pressing sleeve 61 is subjected to force, it pushes the piston rod 62. The piston rod 62 drives the piston plate 64 to move away from the liquid outlet 2531. At this time, the liquid outlet 2531 opens, and the cleaning liquid in the cavity 254 flows out through the liquid outlet 2531 and permeates the brush bristles 252. During the squeezing process, the spring 63 is compressed. When the protrusion 42 leaves the pressing sleeve 61, the spring 63 rebounds, driving the piston rod 62 and the piston plate 64 to reset. The piston plate 64 re-blocks the liquid outlet 2531, stopping the liquid discharge. During rotation, the brush bristles 252, which are coated with cleaning fluid, scrub the bread crumbs, oil stains and other residues on the inner wall of the oven body 1. The moving base 3 continuously drives the cleaning mechanism 2 to move, so that the brush 25 covers every corner of the inner wall of the oven body 1, achieving a thorough cleaning. After the brush 25 finishes cleaning the current area, the drive mechanism 3 controls the moving part 24 to move and turn, so that the cloth 26 extends out from the opening 23. At the same time, the brush 25 stops rotating, moves downward, and extends into the water bucket 27 at the bottom of the receiving space 22. The brush bristles 252 are cleaned with clean water to remove the residue and cleaning solution remaining on the brush bristles 252, ensuring the cleanliness of the brush 25 and preparing it for possible reuse in the future. After the brush 25 has finished cleaning, the movable part 24 keeps the cloth 26 extended, so that the cloth 26 fits against the cleaned area of ​​the inner wall of the furnace body 1. If it is necessary to adjust the extension length of the cloth 26, the second cylinder 244 in the mounting cavity 24a of the movable part 24 drives the telescopic plate 241 to extend and retract, and the guide rod 243 slides along the guide hole to ensure that the telescopic plate 241 moves smoothly, thereby ensuring that the cloth 26 can fit against the inner wall of the furnace body 1; The rag 26, driven by the cleaning mechanism 2, moves in conjunction with the movable base 3 to wipe the inner wall of the furnace body 1 in all directions, cleaning away the residual sewage and small residues after scrubbing. After the cleaning cloth 26 has been used for a period of time, its cleaning ability will decrease, and it will need to be replaced with a new cloth 26. The specific steps are as follows: The drive mechanism 3 controls the moving part 24 to move and turn to the bottom of the placement rack 5, so that the telescopic plate 241 is aligned with the gap between the two base plates 53. During the turning process, the electromagnet 242 on the telescopic plate 241 is de-energized and detaches from the magnetic block 261 at the bottom of the old rag 26. The old rag 26 falls or is stored under its own weight (an old rag storage mechanism can be added according to the actual design). The second cylinder 244 drives the telescopic plate 241 to rise, pass through the gap and enter the placement rack 5; When the new cloth 26 is in contact with the stack, the electromagnet 242 is energized, attracting the magnetic block 261 at the bottom of the new cloth 26, thus fixing the new cloth 26 onto the telescopic plate 241. The second cylinder 244 drives the telescopic plate 241 to descend, bringing the new rag 26 back to the initial position, thus completing the replacement of the rag 26.

[0034] Repeat the above process until all areas of the inner wall of furnace body 1 are cleaned. During the circulation process, if the cleaning fluid in cavity 254 is insufficient, cleaning fluid can be added to cavity 254 through the replenishment pipe 259 connected to the rotating shaft 253. Since the rotating shaft 253 and connector 258 are rotatably connected, and the replenishment pipe 259 is a flexible hose, it will not affect the normal operation of brush 25.

[0035] Once the inner wall of furnace body 1 is completely cleaned, the movable base 3 moves the cleaning mechanism 2 back to its initial position, the device stops working, and the cleaning process is complete. Workers can then remove the device from furnace body 1 for subsequent maintenance and upkeep, such as emptying the wastewater from bucket 27 and replenishing the cleaning solution, in preparation for the next cleaning cycle.

[0036] As can be seen from the above working method, the present invention uses the cleaning mechanism 2 as the main execution part. Its ingenious internal structural design, such as the movable part 24 which can move and steer flexibly, allows the brush 25 and the cloth 26 to work alternately. Furthermore, the brush 25 can automatically extend into the water bucket 27 for cleaning while the cloth 26 is working, ensuring the cleanliness of the cleaning tools and improving the cleaning effect. The drive mechanism 3 provides precise power control for the movement and steering of the movable part 24. Through the coordinated operation of components such as the back plate 31, multiple sliders, connecting rods 35, and bearings 38, the movement direction and angle of the movable part 24 can be precisely adjusted, ensuring that the brush 25 and the cloth 26 accurately reach the designated cleaning position. The brush 25 is ingeniously designed; its hollow internal turntable 251 is used to store cleaning fluid. Through the cooperation of the dispensing mechanism 6 and the squeezing mechanism 4, the cleaning fluid is squeezed out at the appropriate time, enhancing the cleaning effect. In summary, the device of the present invention greatly improves cleaning efficiency and quality, reduces manual labor intensity, and enhances the level of automation in cleaning bread ovens. It has significant innovation and practicality, and plays a positive role in promoting the development of the bread baking industry.

[0037] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial modifications made to the present invention using this concept shall be considered as infringing upon the protection scope of the present invention.

The extension and retraction of the piston plate controls the opening and closing of the liquid outlet. The pressing mechanism for pressing the pressing sleeve includes a fixed plate and a protrusion. The fixed plate is fixed to the side of the movable part, and the surface of the fixed plate is provided with a protrusion. When the brush rotates to the appropriate position, the protrusion can accurately press the pressing sleeve. The movable part moves and turns, causing the brush and the cloth to extend out of the opening alternately for use, and when the cloth moves out of the opening, the brush extends downward into the water bucket for cleaning.

A side plate is provided on each side of the main board, and a bottom plate is provided at the bottom. Multiple rags are stacked in the space enclosed by the main board, side plates, and bottom plate, with their ends supported on the two bottom plates. A gap is provided between the two bottom plates for the telescopic plate to take the rags.

5. The intelligent sensor cleaning device for a bread oven as described in claim 2, characterized in that: The bottom surface of the telescopic plate is provided with multiple guide rods, which can slide through the guide hole at the top of the movable part and enter the installation cavity.

6. The intelligent sensor cleaning device for a bread oven as described in claim 1, characterized in that: The brush's rotating shaft passes through the movable part and enters the mounting cavity of the movable part, and is driven by a motor located in the mounting cavity.

7. The intelligent sensor cleaning device for a bread oven as described in claim 1, characterized in that: The rotating shaft is a hollow structure and communicates with the cavity. The other end of the rotating shaft is connected to an external liquid replenishment tube through a connector. The rotating shaft and the connector are rotatably connected.

8. The full-process cleaning method of the intelligent sensor cleaning device for bread ovens as described in claim 1 is as follows: The staff placed the device in a suitable position inside the furnace and put it into standby mode. The cleaning mechanism is located inside the furnace and moves and rises and falls to ensure that the cleaning mechanism and the part to be cleaned are in the appropriate relative position. The drive mechanism starts working, and through the coordinated movement of each slider on the back plate and the transmission action of the connecting rod, it precisely controls the movement and direction of the moving part, so that the brush extends out from the opening of the cleaning shell and is aimed at the area to be cleaned on the inner wall of the furnace. At this time, the rotating shaft drives the turntable and the brush bristles to rotate. When the brush rotates to the appropriate position, the protrusion squeezes the pressing sleeve, pushing the piston rod and piston plate away from the liquid outlet. At this time, the liquid outlet opens, and the cleaning liquid in the cavity flows out through the liquid outlet and permeates the bristles. During the squeezing process, the spring is compressed. When the protrusion leaves the pressing sleeve, the spring rebounds, driving the piston rod and piston plate to reset. The piston plate then re-blocks the liquid outlet, stopping the liquid discharge. As the brush bristles, coated with cleaning fluid, rotate, they scrub the residue off the inner wall of the furnace. The cleaning mechanism moves continuously, ensuring that the brushes reach every corner of the inner wall of the furnace for thorough cleaning. Once the brush has finished cleaning the current area, the drive mechanism controls the moving part to move and turn, causing the cloth to extend out of the opening. At the same time, the brush stops rotating, moves downward, and extends into the water bucket at the bottom of the receiving space to clean the bristles with clean water. After the brush is used to clean, the movable part should keep the cloth extended and in contact with the cleaned area on the inner wall of the furnace. Driven by the cleaning mechanism, the rag wipes the inner wall of the furnace from all angles. When a rag has been used for a period of time, its cleaning ability decreases, and it needs to be replaced with a new rag. Repeat the above process until all areas of the furnace inner wall have been cleaned. Once the inner wall of the furnace has been completely cleaned, the cleaning mechanism returns to its initial position, the device stops working, and the cleaning process is complete. The staff can then remove the device from the furnace.
