Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive trim technology, specifically to an automotive trim surface cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive trim strips are decorative components installed on the exterior or interior of a car to enhance its appearance or interior aesthetics. They are typically made of various materials, such as plastic, metal, and carbon fiber, and come in different shapes, colors, and textures to suit different car models and individual preferences. On the exterior, trim strips are usually installed on the sides of the car, door edges, roof, and bumpers, serving to refine the body lines and add a sporty or luxurious feel. Inside, trim strips are typically installed on the dashboard, center console, and door trim panels, decorating and enhancing the interior's perceived quality. Benefits include: Scratch protection: Door bumper strips made of rubber or ABS material buffer impacts when opening and closing doors, preventing scratches from walls or other vehicles. Waterproofing and sound insulation: Window trim strips made of metal (stainless steel / aluminum alloy) improve sealing, reducing rainwater intrusion and wind noise. Some products (such as the Huashi Automotive B-pillar sealing strip) achieve noise reduction through a thickened design. Impact resistance: Bumper trim strips use a grille design to disperse the impact of sand and gravel, and some products enhance nighttime visibility. Currently, automotive trim strips have become an indispensable choice for users.
[0003] An existing automotive trim strip surface cleaning device includes a housing, a water storage chamber, and a scrubbing device. The housing contains a conveyor and a cylinder at its top. A spray plate with multiple spray heads at its bottom is also located within the housing. The water storage chamber is situated at the bottom of the housing and has a filter plate above it. Two activated carbon adsorption strips are placed within the water storage chamber. The scrubbing device includes an upper plate, a cleaning brush, and telescopic rods. The upper plate is connected to the bottom of a piston rod in the cylinder. Multiple telescopic rods connect the upper plate and the cleaning brushes, and each telescopic rod has a helical spring connected to both the upper plate and the cleaning brush. This device can automatically clean trim strips, saving significant manpower and resources, improving cleaning efficiency, and ensuring a more thorough cleaning of the trim strip surface through the scrubbing device.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned existing technology, since the device requires a large amount of water resources and the activated carbon adsorption strips need to be replaced regularly, it is not conducive to cost reduction and efficiency improvement for enterprises in the long run. It will increase the operating cost of the equipment and hinder the improvement of overall efficiency, as the time required to wait for the decorative strips to dry after the water is discharged extends the working cycle. Therefore, further improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

Each of the four corners of the bottom of the movable plate is fixedly connected with a helical spring, and each of the four helical springs is fixedly connected with a base plate.
[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the automotive trim surface cleaning device of the present invention, the rotating rod extends into the housing and is connected to the housing via a bearing, the bottom of the moving plate contacts the top of the housing, and one side of each of the four fixed base plates is fixedly connected to the four sides of the outer side of the housing.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the automotive trim surface cleaning device of the present invention, a material discharge mechanism is provided on one side of the outer shell. The material discharge mechanism includes a sliding rail, which is fixedly connected to one side of the inner shell. An electric slider is slidably connected to the outside of the sliding rail, and a translation plate is fixedly connected to the top of the electric slider.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the automotive trim surface cleaning device of the present invention, a positioning rod is slidably connected inside the translation plate, a discharge plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning rod, the bottom of the discharge plate is in contact with the top of the translation plate, and a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the outer side of the translation plate.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the automotive trim surface cleaning device of the present invention, the connecting plate has an L-shaped cross-section, a fixed frame is fixedly connected to the outer end of the connecting plate, and multiple flexible bristles are fixedly connected to both sides inside the fixed frame.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the automotive trim surface cleaning device of the present invention, three impact rods are fixedly connected to one side of the top of each of the two limiting plates, and the three impact rods are all L-shaped, with the impact rods located at the bottom of the fixed frame.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the automotive trim surface cleaning device of the present invention, the bottom of the housing is provided with a cleaning mechanism, the cleaning mechanism includes a material collection plate, the material collection plate is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the housing, and the material collection plate is shaped to be inclined downward.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the automotive trim surface cleaning device of the present invention, the scraping sleeve is provided on one side of the top of the collecting plate, the bottom of the scraping sleeve is in contact with the inside of the collecting plate, and a sliding groove is provided on the outer side of the scraping sleeve.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the automotive trim surface cleaning device of the present invention, a sliding block is slidably connected inside the sliding groove, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the outer side of the sliding block, with the top of the connecting rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric slider.

Therefore, this not only solves the problem of cushioning the trim strip, but also ensures that all debris is collected, making the process convenient. 3. Under the continuous vibration of the filter screen, the waste will fall into the collection plate through the internal mesh. During the discharge process, the electric slider will also drive the connecting rod to move. During the movement of the connecting rod, the sliding block and the scraping sleeve will move simultaneously. During the movement of the scraping sleeve, the waste of the car trim strip on the top of the collection plate will be cleaned and scraped off. During this process, the sliding block and the scraping sleeve will move relative to each other, ensuring the practicality of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0027] This invention discloses a surface cleaning device for automotive trim strips, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes four fixed rods 1, and a housing 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the four fixed rods 1. A vibration mechanism 3 is provided on the outside of the housing 2. The vibration mechanism 3 includes two motors 301, which are respectively fixed to one side of the outer shell 2. Each motor 301 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 302 through an output shaft. A rotating plate 303 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 302. Connecting plates 304 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outside of the rotating plate 303. Connecting wheels 305 are fixedly connected to both sides of the outside of the two connecting plates 304. A movable plate 306 is provided on the top of the shell 2. Limiting plates 307 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the movable plate 306. A filter screen 308 is embedded inside the movable plate 306. Two mounting plates 309 are fixedly connected to the outside of the two limiting plates 307. A force-bearing plate 310 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the four mounting plates 309. The four corners of the bottom of the movable plate 306 are fixedly connected with helical springs 312, and the bottom of each of the four helical springs 312 is fixedly connected with a fixed base plate 311.
[0028] The rotating rod 302 extends into the housing 2 and is connected to the housing 2 via a bearing. The bottom of the moving plate 306 contacts the top of the housing 2. One side of each of the four fixed base plates 311 is fixedly connected to the four sides of the outer side of the housing 2, which can ensure the rotation of the rotating rod 302 and its supporting function.
[0029] During use, when cleaning the surface of the car trim strip is required, the operator first needs to move the device to the bottom of the feeding equipment. When the car trim strip begins to be fed, it will automatically fall to the top of the filter screen 308. At this time, in order to remove the debris from the outside of the car trim strip, the operator can turn on the motor 301. After the motor 301 is turned on, it will drive the rotating rod 302 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating rod 302, it will simultaneously drive the rotating plate 303 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating plate 303, it will simultaneously drive the connecting plate 304 and the connecting wheel 305 to rotate. During the rotation of the connecting wheel 305, it will drive the force plate 310 upward. During the lifting process, the force plate 310 will simultaneously drive the moving plate 306, the limiting plate 307, and the filter screen 308 to move upward. As the moving plate 306 rises, it will simultaneously drive the coil spring 312 to stretch. If the connecting wheel 305 slides past the bottom of the force plate 310, the coil spring 312 will quickly compress and drive the moving plate 306 to quickly descend and reset. Then the moving plate 306 will collide with the top of the housing 2. With the continuous rotation of the connecting wheel 305, the debris on the outside of the car trim strip will be shaken onto the top of the filter screen 308, preventing excessive debris from requiring manual intervention for cleaning.
[0030] Example 2, refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides a surface cleaning device for automotive trim strips, which solves the problem of inconvenience in quickly removing and discharging debris from automotive trim strips. A discharge mechanism 4 is provided on one side of the outer shell 2. The discharge mechanism 4 includes a sliding rail 401, which is fixedly connected to one side of the inner shell 2. An electric slider 402 is slidably connected to the outside of the sliding rail 401. A translation plate 403 is fixedly connected to the top of the electric slider 402, which can ensure the sliding operation of the electric slider 402.
[0031] The translation plate 403 is internally slidably connected to a positioning rod 404, and a discharge plate 405 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the positioning rod 404. The bottom of the discharge plate 405 contacts the top of the moving plate 306. A connecting plate 406 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the translation plate 403. The up and down movement can be achieved through the cooperation between the positioning rod 404 and the translation plate 403.
[0032] The connecting plate 406 has an L-shaped cross-section. A fixed frame 407 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the connecting plate 406. Multiple flexible bristles 408 are fixedly connected to both sides inside the fixed frame 407. The flexible bristles 408 can be used to cushion the car trim strip.
[0033] Three impact rods 409 are fixedly connected to one side of the top of each of the two limiting plates 307. The three impact rods 409 are all L-shaped and located at the bottom of the fixed frame 407, which facilitates the fixing of the impact rods 409 and the impact work on the fixed frame 407.
[0034] The rest of the structure is the same as in Example 1.
[0035] During the descent of the car trim strip, to ensure a cushioning effect and prevent damage from impacts, the trim strip first contacts the flexible bristles 408. Upon contact, the flexibility of the bristles 408 cushions the trim strip and removes some debris. When the limiting plate 307, driven by the connecting wheel 305, moves the impact rod 409 upward, the impact rod 409 impacts the fixing frame 407, and simultaneously, the flexible bristles 408 are vibrated. The movement and vibration not only solve the problem of cushioning the car trim strip, but also allow all the waste to be collected, ensuring convenience during operation. When the staff needs to discharge the clean car trim strip, the staff needs to open the electric slider 402. After the electric slider 402 is opened, it will slide outside the sliding rail 401 and drive the translation plate 403 and the positioning rod 404 to move. During the movement of the positioning rod 404, it will simultaneously drive the discharge plate 405 to move. The discharge plate 405 will push the car trim strip to discharge, thus ensuring the effect of use. During the above process, the moving plate 306 moves up and down continuously through the action of the connecting wheel 305, so the discharge plate 405 drives the positioning rod 404 to move up and down to ensure that the flexibility of the device is not limited and to ensure the movement effect of the moving plate 306.
[0036] Example 3, referring to Figures 7-8 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides a car trim strip surface cleaning device, which solves the problem of inconvenience in quickly removing and discharging car trim strips. The bottom of the housing 2 is provided with a cleaning mechanism 5, which includes a collection plate 501. The collection plate 501 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the housing 2. The shape of the collection plate 501 is set to be downward inclined, and waste can be collected through the setting of the collection plate 501.
[0037] The top side of the collecting plate 501 is provided with a scraping sleeve 502. The bottom of the scraping sleeve 502 is in contact with the inside of the collecting plate 501. A sliding groove is provided on the outer side of the scraping sleeve 502 so that the scraping sleeve 502 can perform scraping work.
[0038] A sliding block 503 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove, and a connecting rod 504 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer side of the sliding block 503. The top of the connecting rod 504 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the electric slider 402, which facilitates the connection between the connecting rod 504 and the electric slider 402.
[0039] The collecting plate 501 and the scraping sleeve 502 are both located at the bottom of the filter screen 308, and the connecting rod 504 is L-shaped to facilitate the collection of waste.
[0040] The rest of the structure is the same as in Example 2.
[0041] Under the continuous vibration of the filter screen 308, the waste will fall into the collection plate 501 through the internal mesh. During the discharge process, the electric slider 402 will also drive the connecting rod 504 to move. During the movement of the connecting rod 504, the sliding block 503 and the scraping sleeve 502 will move simultaneously. During the movement of the scraping sleeve 502, the automotive trim waste on the top of the collection plate 501 will be cleaned and scraped off. During this process, the sliding block 503 will move relative to the scraping sleeve 502, so as not to affect the downward adhesion between the scraping sleeve 502 and the collection plate 501, thus ensuring the practicality of the device.
