Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of cleaning devices, and more specifically to a cleaning device for the down filling of thermal underwear. Background Technology
[0002] Down, as the core filling material for thermal underwear, is widely used due to its lightweight and excellent warmth retention. However, its loose fiber structure and tendency to clump together present numerous technical challenges for cleaning. Currently available cleaning equipment for down filling in thermal underwear generally suffers from the following problems: after the initial cleaning in the cleaning tank, the down remains relatively stationary during the spray cleaning on the conveyor, with only the surface down coming into contact with the spray water, further reducing the overall cleaning effectiveness. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning device for down filling the inner lining of thermal clothing, so as to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art.
[0004] A cleaning device for down filling the inner lining of thermal clothing includes a cleaning tank, a belt conveyor, a water circulation component, a stirring mechanism and a turning mechanism. The cleaning tank is mounted on a frame, and the belt conveyor is located between the guard plates on both sides of the frame with its lower end in the cleaning tank. Several upper support plates are evenly distributed on the belt of the belt conveyor. The water circulation assembly is mounted on the frame and is used to circulate the water in the cleaning tank; The stirring mechanism is located in the cleaning tank and is used to stir and clean the down. The agitation mechanism is located above the belt conveyor and, driven by the water circulation component, agitates the down on the belt during the washing process.
[0005] Preferably, the water circulation assembly includes a main pipe, nozzles, an inlet pump, and an outlet pump. Each guard plate is provided with a main pipe, and two main pipes are connected by several branch pipes. Several nozzles are provided on the inner side of the branch pipes. The inlet pump is mounted on the frame, and its inlet is connected to the clean water tank through pipe one. The outlet of the inlet pump is connected to one of the main pipes through pipe two. Pipe two is provided with pipe three extending into the cleaning tank. The inlet of the outlet pump is provided with pipe four extending into the cleaning tank. The outlet of the outlet pump is connected to the wastewater tank through pipe five.
[0006] Preferably, the stirring mechanism includes a stirring roller, a drive motor, and stirring blades. The stirring roller is rotatably connected to both sides of the cleaning tank. The drive motor is mounted on the cleaning tank and its output shaft is connected to one end of the stirring roller. The stirring blades are provided in a plurality and are evenly distributed along the circumference of the stirring roller.
[0007] Preferably, the actuating mechanism includes a rotating shaft, an impeller, an incomplete gear, a moving frame, and a drive plate. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to a branch pipe and a guide plate at the bottom of the branch pipe. The impeller is mounted on the rotating shaft and located in the branch pipe. The moving frame is slidably connected to the guide plate and has racks on its upper and lower inner walls. The drive plate is located at the lower end of the guide plate and has a V-groove thereon. The incomplete gear is mounted at the lower end of the rotating shaft and meshes with the racks. The fixed plate at the lower end of the moving frame is slidably connected to the lifting rod through a guide rod. The lower end of the lifting rod has a baffle plate. The lifting rod has a rod inserted into the V-groove and an elastic rod at the lower end.
[0008] Preferably, there are two guide rods symmetrically arranged on the side of the lifting rod.
[0009] Preferably, the lifting rod is provided with an end plate, and the end plate is provided with a connecting lug that is slidably connected to the lifting rod.
[0010] Preferably, the elastic rod has an "L" shaped structure and is provided with several rods evenly distributed along the circumference of the lifting rod.
[0011] Preferably, the stirring blade is made of a flexible material.
[0012] Preferably, the main tube is connected to the guard plate via several connecting rings.
[0013] The beneficial effects achieved by this invention are as follows: This application utilizes a toggle mechanism powered by the water flow of a water circulation component. The flowing water in the branch pipe impacts the impeller, driving the rotating shaft and subsequent transmission components to rotate, thereby achieving automatic tumbling of the down. The toggle mechanism, through the meshing of incomplete gears and racks and the sliding cooperation of the insert rod and V-groove, converts the rotational motion of the impeller into the reciprocating motion of the moving frame and the reciprocating motion of the lifting rod. This drives the elastic rod to complete the compound tumbling action of left-right toggle and up-down lifting, effectively tumbling the down in the upper and lower layers of the belt conveyor, turning the down that was originally piled up in the lower layer and could not come into contact with the washing water to the upper layer, thoroughly breaking up the down clumps, and achieving all-round cleaning of the down.

[0024] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides a cleaning device for down filling the inner lining of thermal clothing, including a cleaning tank 1, a belt conveyor 3, a water circulation component 5, a stirring mechanism 6 and a stirring mechanism 7. The cleaning tank 1 is mounted on a frame 2, and the belt conveyor 3 is located between the guard plates 4 on both sides of the frame 2 with its lower end located in the cleaning tank 1. Several upper support plates 31 are evenly distributed on the belt of the belt conveyor 3. In addition, the water circulation assembly 5 is mounted on the frame 2 and is used to circulate the water in the cleaning tank 1. The water circulation assembly 5 includes a main pipe 51, a nozzle 53, an inlet pump 54, and an outlet pump 55. Each guard plate 4 is provided with a main pipe 51. The main pipe 51 is connected to the guard plate 4 through several connecting rings. Two main pipes 51 are connected by several branch pipes 52. Several nozzles 53 are provided on the inner side of the branch pipes 52. The inlet pump 54 is mounted on the frame 2 and its inlet is connected to the clean water tank through pipe one. The outlet of the inlet pump 54 is connected to one of the main pipes 51 through pipe two 541. Pipe two 541 is provided with pipe three 542 extending into the cleaning tank 1. The inlet of the outlet pump 55 is provided with pipe four 551 extending into the cleaning tank 1. The outlet of the outlet pump 55 is connected to the sewage tank through pipe five 552, realizing the directional flow of cleaning and sewage.
[0025] In addition, the stirring mechanism 6 is located in the cleaning tank 1 and is used to stir and clean the down. The stirring mechanism 6 includes a stirring roller 61, a drive motor 62 and stirring blades 63. The stirring roller 61 is rotatably connected to both sides of the cleaning tank 1. The drive motor 62 is mounted on the cleaning tank 1 and its output shaft is connected to one end of the stirring roller 61. The stirring blades 63 are made of flexible material and are provided in several form and evenly distributed along the circumference of the stirring roller 61. The drive motor 62 drives the stirring roller 61 and the stirring blades 63 to rotate. However, generating eddies or directly agitating the down in the water of the cleaning tank 1 can effectively break up the down clumps, allowing the cleaning agent or water to come into full contact with the down, thereby significantly improving the thoroughness and cleaning efficiency of the cleaning.
[0026] In addition, the agitation mechanism 7 is located above the belt conveyor 3 and is driven by the water circulation component 5 to agitate the down on the belt during washing. The agitation mechanism 7 includes a rotating shaft 71, an impeller 711, an incomplete gear 76, a moving frame 73, and a drive plate 75. The rotating shaft 71 is rotatably connected to the branch pipe 52 and the guide plate 72 at the bottom of the branch pipe 52. The impeller 711 is installed on the rotating shaft 71 and located in the branch pipe 52. The moving frame 73 is slidably connected to the guide plate 72 and has racks 74 on its upper and lower inner walls respectively. The drive plate 75 is located at the lower end of the guide plate 72 and has a V-groove 751 on it. The incomplete gear 76 is installed at the lower end of the rotating shaft 71 and meshes with the rack 74. In addition, the lifting rod 78 is provided with an end plate, and the end plate is provided with a connecting ear 782 that is slidably connected to the guide rod 77 on the fixed plate 731. The lower end of the lifting rod 78 is provided with a baffle 771. The lifting rod 78 is provided with a plug rod 781 that is inserted into the V-shaped groove 751. The elastic rod 79 has an "L" shaped structure and is provided with several rods that are evenly distributed along the circumference of the lifting rod 78, so as to move and turn the down on the belt, so that all sides of the down can be cleaned, preventing cleaning dead corners, and without the need for additional power.
[0027] Detailed implementation methods and principles: When in operation, the water pump 54 in the water circulation component 5 starts to work, drawing clean water from the clean water tank through pipe one. The drawn clean water is then sent directly into the cleaning tank 1 through pipe three 542 on pipe two 541, so that enough cleaning water gradually accumulates in the cleaning tank 1 until the water level can wet the down feathers and upper tray 31 inside the cleaning tank 1. The drive motor 62 of the stirring mechanism 6 starts to run, and its output shaft drives the stirring roller 61 to rotate synchronously. The stirring blades 63 on the stirring roller 61 rotate accordingly to fully stir the down in the washing box 1. At the same time, the upper pallet 31 on the belt conveyor 3 transports the down in the cleaning box 1. The clean water transported to the main pipe 51 will quickly flow through the branch pipe 52 and be evenly sprayed onto the surface of the down on the belt conveyor 3 through the nozzles 53 set inside the branch pipe 52 to perform preliminary spray cleaning on the down. Meanwhile, there is a continuous flow of clean water in the branch pipe 52. The water flow impacts the impeller 711 installed on the rotating shaft 71, causing the incomplete gear 76 installed at the lower end of the rotating shaft 71 to rotate together with the rotating shaft 71. The incomplete gear 76 alternately meshes with the racks 74 on the upper and lower inner walls of the moving frame 73, causing the moving frame 73 to reciprocate along the guide plate 72. The elastic rod 79 at the lower end of the lifting rod 78 moves the down feathers on the belt conveyor 3 left and right. Since the insertion rod 781 on the lifting rod 78 is inserted into the drive plate... In the V-groove 751 of the 75, when the moving frame 73 reciprocates, the insert rod 781 slides in the V-groove 751, driving the lifting rod 78 to reciprocate up and down, repeatedly moving and turning the down on the belt conveyor 3. At the same time, the upper support plate 31 on the belt conveyor 3 can move the elastic rod 79, turning the down in the lower layer that has not been fully in contact with the cleaning water to the upper layer, so that all parts of the down can be fully in contact with the spray water and cleaning water, avoiding the situation of incomplete cleaning in some areas.
[0028] The embodiments of the present invention described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
