Background Technology

[0002] The vibrating cleaning device for the oil filter of a range hood is an auxiliary cleaning technology based on the principle of vibration. It uses a vibrating motor or mechanical knocking structure to make the oil filter vibrate at high frequency, shaking off the softened oil stains. In the process of cleaning the grease filter of a range hood, housekeeping services usually clean it manually, which requires manpower and affects the overall cleaning efficiency of the range hood. Moreover, during manual cleaning, it is difficult to clean the grease on the inner wall of the filter mesh, resulting in poor cleaning effect. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the vibrating cleaning device for range hood grease filters and its usage method to solve the above-mentioned problems. Summary of the Invention

In addition, during manual cleaning, it is difficult to clean the oil stains on the inner wall of the filter mesh, resulting in poor cleaning effect.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A vibratory cleaning device for a range hood's oil filter and its usage method are disclosed. The device includes a connecting frame, a main motor, and a drive plate. The connecting frame is installed on a collection unit for collecting grease. The range hood's oil filter is placed in the middle of the upper end of the collection unit. The main motor is bolted to the middle of the upper end of the connecting frame. The main motor's spindle passes through the connecting frame and is fixedly connected to a rubber block. The rubber block is fixedly connected to the middle of the drive plate. Two cleaning nozzles and four cleaning units are installed at the lower end of the drive plate. Each cleaning unit includes an adjusting frame. An adjusting component is installed on the upper end of the adjusting frame. A mounting frame is fixedly connected to the lower end of the adjusting frame via a support bracket. An auxiliary motor is installed in the middle of the sealed end of the mounting frame. A bridge plate is installed on the outer side of the middle of the auxiliary motor's spindle. A Z-shaped bent rod is fixedly connected to the top of the auxiliary motor's spindle. A positioning component is fixedly connected to the open end of the mounting frame via rivets. The positioning component is slidably connected to the scraper assembly.

[0005] Preferably, the waste collection unit includes a circular plate with a storage groove in the middle of the upper end of the circular plate. A magnetic block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage groove, and a positioning block is installed in the middle of the magnetic block.

[0006] Preferably, the adjustment component includes a fixing block, and a mounting hole is provided on the inner side of the lower end of the fixing block. A spring is installed inside the mounting hole, and a rotating shaft is fixedly connected inside the spring.

[0007] Preferably, the horizontal projection of the fixing block is U-shaped, the lower opening of the fixing block is rotatably connected to the adjusting frame, the rotating shaft passes through the upper end of the adjusting frame, and the adjusting frame is L-shaped.

[0008] Preferably, the scraper assembly includes a sponge scraper, which is fixedly connected to a connecting plate in the middle via a rubber plate. A groove is provided on the inner side of the other end of the connecting plate. The end of the Z-shaped bent rod away from the auxiliary motor is located inside the groove. Slider blocks are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower ends of the connecting plate.

[0009] Preferably, the sponge scraper is configured with two layers. The end of the sponge scraper that is in close contact with the oil filter of the range hood is made of sponge material, and the other end of the sponge scraper is made of metal material. The sponge material layer and the metal material layer are connected by a removable clamp.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning component includes a positioning frame, and positioning grooves are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the positioning frame. The positioning frame is slidably connected to the slider through the positioning grooves.

[0011] Preferably, the adjustment frame is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower end of the drive plate, and the bottom end of the adjustment frame is fixedly connected to the housing of the auxiliary motor. Each adjustment frame has two support legs welded and fixed to its lower end.

[0012] Preferably, the two ends of the bridge plate are welded and fixed to the middle position of the mounting frame, the included angle between the bridge plate and the auxiliary motor main shaft is 90°, and the bridge plate and the auxiliary motor main shaft are rotatably connected by a bridge bearing.

[0013] Preferably, it includes the following steps: Step 1: Remove the oil filter from the range hood and place it on top of the grease collection unit. During placement, use the positioning block for positioning and the magnetic block for further fixation. Step 2: After the range hood oil filter is placed, install the entire cleaning unit on the upper part of the storage round plate through the connecting bracket. During the placement process, the adjustment bracket is rotated by the set adjustment component to prevent the sponge scraper from interfering with the oil filter on both sides of the range hood. Step 3: After the sponge scrapers are installed, power the main motor and auxiliary motor synchronously through the external power supply.

During the cleaning process, the auxiliary motor drives the sponge scrapers to sway left and right for further cleaning. Step 4: During the cleaning process with the sponge scraper, the cleaning nozzle sprays the cleaning agent onto the upper part of the sponge scraper installed inside the range hood's oil filter. The wastewater generated during the cleaning process falls into the collection disc for collection.

[0014] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: 1. In this invention, the main motor drives the sponge scraper to rotate axially, thereby cleaning the inner and outer surfaces. At the same time, in combination with the characteristics of the sponge scraper, it can clean the inner wall of the oil mesh holes. Furthermore, during the axial rotation of the sponge scraper, it can move laterally within a certain range, which can further rub the cleaned area and further improve the cleaning effect. 2. In this invention, the auxiliary motor is set on one side of the sponge scraper. During the process of driving the sponge scraper to move laterally, the vibration can be transmitted to the cleaning sponge scraper. Combined with the cleaning agent flowing from top to bottom, the cleaning effect of the inner wall of the cleaning hole can be further improved. 3. In this invention, the grease collection unit can quickly and accurately locate the grease filter during the cleaning process of the range hood, and can collect the grease generated during cleaning for subsequent processing.

Step 2: After the range hood oil filter 1 is placed, the cleaning unit 8 is installed on the upper end of the storage round plate 21 through the connecting bracket 3. During the placement process, the adjusting bracket 81 is rotated by the set adjusting component 82 to prevent the sponge scraper 841 from interfering with the oil filter 1 on both sides of the range hood. Step 3: After the sponge scraper 841 is installed, the main motor 4 and the auxiliary motor 85 are powered on synchronously through the external power supply. After the power is on, the main motor 4 slowly drives all the sponge scrapers 841 to rotate around the axis of the range hood oil filter 1, and cleans its inner and outer surfaces synchronously. During the cleaning process, the auxiliary motor 85 drives the sponge scraper 841 to sway left and right for further cleaning. Step 4: During the cleaning process of the sponge scraper 841, the cleaning nozzle 7 sprays the cleaning agent onto the upper part of the sponge scraper 841 installed inside the oil filter 1 of the range hood. The wastewater generated during the cleaning process falls into the storage disc 21 for collection.
