Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for aromatherapy cups. Background Technology

[0002] Aromatherapy cups (also known as aromatherapy water cups or essential oil heating cups) are widely used in beauty salons, spas, homes, and hotels. After production or before recycling, aromatherapy cups often have oil stains, dust, and residual essential oils on their outer walls, requiring cleaning.

[0003] In the cleaning process of aromatherapy cups, workers typically place the cup open-side down on a support device, clean the outer wall, then remove the cup from the unloading position. They then use a cleaning cloth to wipe the inner wall of the cup, completing a thorough cleaning of both the inner and outer walls. This inner wall wiping process has the following prominent problems: First, staff must manually wipe the inner wall of each aromatherapy cup one by one. This is a complicated process, and in mass production or recycling scenarios, this process consumes a lot of manpower, becoming a bottleneck process that restricts cleaning capacity.

[0004] Secondly, the coverage area, force applied, and number of wipes for manual wiping all depend on the operator's experience and condition. The cleaning quality varies greatly between different batches and different operators, making it difficult to ensure the consistency of product cleaning.

[0005] Based on this, those skilled in the art have proposed an aromatherapy cup cleaning device, which provides a new solution to the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this application provides an aromatherapy cup cleaning device.

[0007] The aromatherapy cup cleaning device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: An aromatherapy cup cleaning device includes a receiving pool, a U-shaped conveying mechanism disposed inside the receiving pool, a plurality of supporting mechanisms evenly distributed on the U-shaped conveying mechanism, a plurality of side wall cleaning mechanisms disposed on both sides of the top of the U-shaped conveying mechanism, a spraying mechanism disposed on both sides of the U-shaped conveying mechanism, and a plurality of top wall cleaning mechanisms disposed at both ends of the top of the U-shaped conveying mechanism and above the supporting mechanisms. The aromatherapy cup is fitted with the top of the supporting mechanism with its opening facing downward. The bottom of the supporting mechanism is provided with an auxiliary rotating mechanism for driving its rotation. The auxiliary rotating mechanism is provided with a notch section. An inner wall cleaning mechanism is provided at the corresponding position of the notch section for cleaning the inner wall of the aromatherapy cup when the aromatherapy cup moves to the notch section with the U-shaped conveying mechanism. The inner wall cleaning mechanism is provided with a loading and unloading mechanism near the end of the notch section for assisting in unloading and preparing for loading the next aromatherapy cup.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the aromatherapy cup is fitted onto the support mechanism with its opening facing downwards, and continuously circulates with the U-shaped conveyor mechanism. During the conveying process, the spray mechanism continuously sprays cleaning liquid onto the outer wall of the aromatherapy cup, while the side wall cleaning mechanism and the top wall cleaning mechanism mechanically clean the side and bottom walls of the aromatherapy cup, respectively. When the aromatherapy cup moves with the support mechanism to the notch section of the auxiliary rotating mechanism, the auxiliary rotating mechanism loses its drive over the support mechanism, and the inner wall cleaning mechanism then automatically cleans the inner wall of the aromatherapy cup. After the inner wall cleaning is completed, the loading and unloading mechanism drives the aromatherapy cup to automatically detach and unload, and automatically resets after the support mechanism leaves the notch section to welcome the loading of the next aromatherapy cup. The entire cleaning process achieves fully automatic continuous operation of the inner and outer walls, completely eliminating the tedious operation of manually wiping the inner walls one by one, greatly improving cleaning efficiency and ensuring the consistency of cleaning quality.

[0009] Optionally, the inner side of the receiving pool is provided with an inner mounting frame, and the loop conveying mechanism includes sprockets rotatably mounted at both ends of the top of the inner mounting frame. A conveying chain is connected to the outer side of the two sprockets. A plurality of support mechanisms are evenly distributed and rotatably mounted on the outer edge of the conveying chain. A rotary drive mechanism is mounted on the inner mounting frame, and the output end of the rotary drive mechanism is fixedly connected to one of the sprockets. An outer panel is fixed to the outer edge of the top of the receiving pool, and a loop-shaped movable groove for the support mechanism to run is formed between the outer panel and the top plate of the inner mounting frame. By adopting the above technical solution, the rotary drive mechanism drives one of the sprockets to rotate, and transmits power to the other sprocket through the conveyor chain, so that the conveyor chain runs in a loop along the loop formed by the two sprockets. This drives the support mechanisms evenly distributed on the outer edge of the conveyor chain to pass through each cleaning station in sequence along the loop path. The loop-shaped movable groove between the outer panel and the top plate of the inner mounting frame provides the operating space for the support mechanism, and at the same time provides guidance and lateral limit to a certain extent, preventing the support mechanism from deviating during operation and ensuring that the aromatherapy cup and each cleaning mechanism maintain the correct relative position.

[0010] Optionally, the support mechanism includes a support cylinder and a support column fixed to the top of the support cylinder. The support cylinder is rotatably mounted on the conveyor chain and passes through the loop-shaped movable groove. The aromatherapy cup is fitted on the outside of the support column. The auxiliary rotating mechanism includes a loop-shaped auxiliary rotating gear ring fixed to the bottom of the outer panel and an auxiliary rotating gear fixed to the outside of the support cylinder and meshing with the loop-shaped auxiliary rotating gear ring. The notch section is formed on one side of the loop-shaped auxiliary rotating gear ring. By adopting the above technical solution, the aromatherapy cup is fitted with its opening facing downwards on the outside of the support column, and is supported and positioned from the inside by the support column; the support cylinder is rotatably installed on the conveyor chain, and can rotate around its own axis while revolving with the conveyor chain; the auxiliary rotating gear runs together with the support cylinder, and rolls and meshes along the inner side of the fixed U-shaped auxiliary rotating gear ring. The reaction force generated therefrom continuously drives the support cylinder and the support column on it to rotate, so that the aromatherapy cup rotates around its own axis while being conveyed around the chain, thereby cooperating with the side wall cleaning mechanism to achieve uniform cleaning of the entire circumference of the aromatherapy cup side wall; when the support mechanism runs to the notch section on the U-shaped auxiliary rotating gear ring, the auxiliary rotating gear disengages from the U-shaped auxiliary rotating gear ring, the support mechanism stops rotating, and creates stable conditions for the operation of the inner wall cleaning mechanism and the loading and unloading mechanism.

[0011] Optionally, a transmission cylinder is rotatably arranged inside the support cylinder. The top of the transmission cylinder extends out of the support cylinder and is connected to an inner wall cleaning component. The inner wall cleaning component includes a plurality of wiping cleaning rods arranged along the outer edge of the top of the support column. The outer wall of the wiping cleaning rods is provided with a cleaning cotton layer. The bottom of the transmission cylinder extends out of the support cylinder and is fixed with a drive gear. A drive tooth plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer panel and on the side away from the inner mounting bracket at the notch section. When the support mechanism moves to the notch section, the drive gear meshes with the drive tooth plate, driving the inner wall cleaning component to rotate to clean the inner wall of the aromatherapy cup. By adopting the above technical solution, at the notch section, the support cylinder stops rotating, while the transmission cylinder rotates independently and is installed inside the support cylinder. When the support mechanism continues to revolve with the conveyor chain, the drive gear fixed at the bottom of the transmission cylinder meshes with the drive gear plate fixed at the bottom of the outer panel. The linear velocity of the support mechanism's revolution is converted into the rotational motion of the drive gear, which in turn drives the transmission cylinder and the inner wall cleaning component connected to its top to rotate. The cleaning cotton layer on the wiping cleaning rod rotates accordingly and contacts the inner wall of the aromatherapy cup, performing rotational wiping cleaning on the inner wall. The entire inner wall cleaning process does not require an additional drive motor, making full use of the support mechanism's own revolution as the driving source. The structure is simple, energy consumption is low, and reliability is high.

[0012] Optionally, the outer panel and the top plate of the inner mounting bracket are provided with guide grooves on the bottom and inside the notch section, and on both sides of the loop-shaped movable groove. A stop rack is slidably provided inside the guide groove. The stop rack is used to mesh with the auxiliary rotating gear within the notch section to brake the support mechanism. A return spring is provided between the stop rack and the end of the guide groove. The two ends of the return spring are respectively connected to the stop rack and the end of the guide groove. One end of the guide groove is connected to the beginning of the notch section, and the other end gradually opens outward toward the end of the notch section, so that when the stop rack moves with the support mechanism to the end of the notch section, the stop rack automatically disengages from the auxiliary rotating gear. By adopting the above technical solution, when the support mechanism enters the beginning of the notch section, the stop rack extends to the side of the auxiliary gear under the elastic thrust of the return spring and meshes with the auxiliary gear, locking the rotational freedom of the support mechanism and preventing it from rotating randomly in the notch section due to residual inertia or uneven force. This ensures that the wiping cleaning rod of the inner wall cleaning mechanism cleans the inner wall of the aromatherapy cup at the predetermined position, and that the actuating protrusion of the loading and unloading mechanism can accurately align and contact with the unloading protrusion. When the support mechanism reaches the end of the notch section, the outer opening section sidewall of the guide chute forces the stop rack to overcome the elastic force of the return spring and move laterally. The stop rack and the auxiliary gear gradually disengage, and the support mechanism automatically releases the brake and smoothly enters the next section of the loop-shaped auxiliary gear ring to resume rotation. The entire braking and release process is completed automatically by the mechanical structure.

[0013] Optionally, the inner wall cleaning assembly includes a first guide plate fixed to the top of the transmission cylinder and a transmission rod rotatably disposed inside the transmission cylinder. The top of the transmission rod extends out of the transmission cylinder and is fixed with a cleaning pad cover. A second guide plate is fixed to the bottom of the cleaning pad cover. A planar helical spring is provided inside the second guide plate. The two ends of the planar helical spring are respectively connected to the first guide plate and the second guide plate, for transmitting torque and providing elastic restoring force between the first guide plate and the second guide plate. By adopting the above technical solution, when the transmission cylinder rotates, the torque is flexibly transmitted to the second guide plate through the planar helical spring, thereby driving the cleaning pad cover to rotate. The cleaning pad cover contacts and rotates to wipe the inner bottom wall of the aromatherapy cup, thus cleaning the inner bottom wall. The flexible torque transmission characteristics of the planar helical spring also serve as overload protection, allowing relative rotation between the first and second guide plates when the wiping cleaning rod encounters resistance without damaging the mechanism. In addition, the planar helical spring stores elastic potential energy during relative rotation. After the loading and unloading mechanism drives the wiping cleaning rod to retract and unload, the release of elastic potential energy drives the second guide plate to reset relative to the first guide plate, causing the wiping cleaning rod to extend radially again, preparing for the loading of the next aromatherapy cup.

[0014] Optionally, the first guide plate is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped guide grooves evenly distributed on it, and the second guide plate and the cleaning pad cover are provided with straight guide grooves at positions corresponding to the arc-shaped guide grooves. The wiping cleaning rod is slidably disposed inside the corresponding straight guide groove, and the wiping cleaning rod is provided with a guide post adapted to the arc-shaped guide groove. The guide post is slidably disposed inside the corresponding arc-shaped guide groove. When the first guide plate and the second guide plate rotate relative to each other, the arc-shaped guide groove pushes the guide post to move radially along the straight guide groove, driving the wiping cleaning rod to extend or retract. In the natural state, the planar helical spring drives the guide post to move towards the outer end of the arc-shaped guide groove, so that the wiping cleaning rod remains in a radially extended state. By adopting the above technical solution, the relative rotation between the first guide plate and the second guide plate causes the arc-shaped guide groove to shift circumferentially relative to the straight guide groove. The arc contour of the arc-shaped guide groove forces the guide post to slide only radially under the constraint of the straight guide groove, thus accurately converting the relative rotation between the two plates into the radial extension and retraction motion of the wiping cleaning rod. In the natural state, the planar helical spring continuously provides elastic force, keeping the guide post at the outer end of the arc-shaped guide groove, and the wiping cleaning rod in the maximum radial extension state. The cleaning cotton layer adheres tightly to the inner wall of the aromatherapy cup, ensuring the cleaning effect. When the loading and unloading mechanism drives the first guide plate and the second guide plate to rotate relative to each other, the arc-shaped guide groove pushes the guide post inward, and the wiping cleaning rod retracts. The aromatherapy cup can be easily detached and unloaded with only a small amount of force.

[0015] Optionally, the loading and unloading mechanism includes a first connecting plate fixed to the bottom of the transmission cylinder and a second connecting plate fixed to the bottom of the transmission rod. A second actuating protrusion and a first actuating protrusion protrude from the outer side walls of the first and second connecting plates, respectively. A second mounting bracket is provided at the bottom of the outer panel near the end of the notch section. A discharge drive plate is fixedly mounted on the top of the second mounting bracket, located on both sides of the first and second connecting plates. Multiple sets of discharge protrusions are arranged opposite each other on the side of the two discharge drive plates that are close to each other. The discharge protrusions are respectively adapted to the first actuating protrusion and the second actuating protrusion. When the support mechanism moves to the unloading position, the first actuating protrusion and the second actuating protrusion sequentially contact the corresponding discharge protrusions, driving the first and second connecting plates to rotate relative to each other, thereby causing the wiping cleaning rod to retract, facilitating the unloading and reloading of materials from the aromatherapy cup. By adopting the above technical solution, the first connecting plate is fixed to the bottom of the transmission cylinder and rotates synchronously with the transmission cylinder; the second connecting plate is fixed to the bottom of the transmission rod and rotates synchronously with the transmission rod; the outer walls of the first and second connecting plates are respectively provided with a second actuating protrusion and a first actuating protrusion, which extend in opposite directions; the unloading drive plate is fixedly installed on the second mounting bracket and remains stationary, and multiple sets of unloading protrusions on it are located on the running paths of the first and second actuating protrusions; when the support mechanism moves to the unloading position, the first actuating protrusion first contacts the corresponding unloading protrusion, driving the transmission rod to rotate relative to the transmission cylinder, and then the second actuating protrusion contacts the corresponding unloading protrusion, further driving the transmission cylinder to rotate relative to the transmission rod. The two actuating actions cause the first guide plate and the second guide plate to generate sufficient relative rotation, and the wiping cleaning rod is fully retracted. At this time, the staff only needs to use a small force to easily detach the aromatherapy cup for unloading. The entire unloading process is driven by the revolution motion of the support mechanism, without the need for an additional motor or cylinder, and the structure is simple and reliable.

[0016] Optionally, a mounting groove is provided between the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate. An arc-shaped spring is provided inside the mounting groove. A first abutment block is fixed on the first connecting plate inside the mounting groove, and a second abutment block is fixed on the second connecting plate inside the mounting groove. The two ends of the arc-shaped spring abut against the first abutment block and the second abutment block, respectively. In its natural state, the arc-shaped spring drives the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate to maintain a relative positional relationship in which the wiping cleaning rod extends radially. At the same time, the first actuating protrusion and the second actuating protrusion are located on both sides of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, respectively, so that the wiping cleaning rod can automatically pop out and reset after the material is fed. By adopting the above technical solution, the arc spring is installed in the mounting groove between the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate, with its two ends abutting against the first abutting block and the second abutting block respectively, continuously applying an elastic restoring force to the relative position between the two plates; after the loading and unloading mechanism completes the unloading action and the unloading protrusion and the actuating protrusion disengage, the arc spring immediately pushes the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate to rotate in opposite directions to their natural positions, correspondingly driving the first guide plate and the second guide plate to reset, and the wiping cleaning rod extends radially again under the guidance of the arc guide groove, automatically restoring the loading state; at the same time, the first actuating protrusion and the second actuating protrusion return to the waiting actuation position on the outer side wall of the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate respectively with the reset action, ensuring that the unloading action of the next cycle can be reliably and triggered by multiple stations, giving the workers enough time to carry out the loading and unloading cycle work.

[0017] Optionally, a cleaning cover is fixedly installed on the outer top of the containing pool, and several side wall cleaning mechanisms are fixedly installed on both sides of the top inner side of the cleaning cover; each side wall cleaning mechanism includes a mounting box fixedly installed on the cleaning cover, side wall cleaning rollers are rotatably installed at the bottom of the mounting box on both sides of the aromatherapy cup, a transmission pulley is fixedly installed on the outer top of the side wall cleaning roller, a transmission belt is connected to the outer sides of the two transmission pulleys, a second motor is installed inside the mounting box, and the output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to one of the transmission pulleys; the top wall cleaning mechanism includes a first mounting frame fixedly installed at both ends of the top of the outer panel, a first motor is fixedly installed on the first mounting frame, a top wall cleaning roller is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor, and the top wall cleaning roller is rotatably installed on the first mounting frame and located above the bottom wall of the aromatherapy cup for cleaning the bottom wall of the aromatherapy cup; By adopting the above technical solutions, the cleaning hood covers the entire cleaning area, effectively preventing the spray cleaning liquid from splashing outwards and protecting the working environment. In the side wall cleaning mechanism, the second motor drives one of the transmission pulleys to rotate, and transmits the power to the other transmission pulley through the transmission belt, so that the side wall cleaning rollers on both sides of the aromatherapy cup rotate synchronously in opposite directions. Combined with the aromatherapy cup's rotation driven by the auxiliary rotation mechanism, it achieves multi-directional coordinated cleaning of the aromatherapy cup's side wall, ensuring thorough cleaning without dead angles. In the top wall cleaning mechanism, the first motor drives the top wall cleaning roller to rotate and scrub the bottom wall of the inverted aromatherapy cup (i.e., the outer wall of the cup bottom facing upwards), ensuring that the bottom wall is thoroughly cleaned. Together with the side wall cleaning mechanism and the spray mechanism, it achieves comprehensive coverage cleaning of the outer wall of the aromatherapy cup.

[0018] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: This invention integrates an inner wall cleaning mechanism and a loading / unloading mechanism by setting a notch section on the rotary auxiliary rotating toothed ring of the auxiliary rotating mechanism and integrating the inner wall cleaning mechanism and the loading / unloading mechanism at the corresponding position of the notch section. This seamlessly embeds the automatic inner wall cleaning process into the continuous conveying process of cleaning the outer wall of the aromatherapy cup, realizing fully automatic cleaning of the inner and outer walls, completely replacing manual wiping of the inner wall, significantly reducing labor costs and greatly increasing cleaning capacity. The inner wall cleaning component of this invention, through the synergistic action of the first guide plate, the second guide plate, the arc-shaped guide groove, the straight guide groove and the planar spiral spring, synchronously converts the rotational motion of the transmission cylinder into the radial extension and timely retraction of the wiping cleaning rod. In the cleaning state, the cleaning cotton layer always adheres tightly to the inner wall of the aromatherapy cup and rotates to wipe, ensuring cleaning coverage. When dispensing, the aromatherapy cup can be controlled to retract and release smoothly. The two functions of dispensing and inner wall cleaning are highly integrated into one mechanism, with a compact structure and reliable operation.

[0019] This invention transforms the revolution of the support mechanism into driving forces for various functions such as inner wall cleaning, braking and positioning, unloading and unloading, and loading by meshing the drive gear and drive tooth plate, cooperating the stop rack and guide groove, and sequentially contacting the actuating protrusion and unloading protrusion of the loading and unloading mechanism. The entire process does not require additional motors or pneumatic components, saving energy and reducing consumption. The equipment has a simple structure and low maintenance costs.

[0037] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the following will be described in conjunction with the appendix. Figure 1-16 The present invention will now be described in further detail.

[0038] Reference Figures 1 to 3This application provides a fragrance cup cleaning device. The device uses a container pool 1 as a base. An inner mounting frame 4 is installed inside the container pool 1. An outer panel 2 is fixed to the outer edge of the top of the container pool 1, and a cleaning hood 3 is fixed to the outer side of the top of the container pool 1. The cleaning hood 3 encloses the entire cleaning area to prevent cleaning liquid from splashing outwards. A U-shaped movable groove 46 is formed between the outer panel 2 and the top plate of the inner mounting frame 4, allowing the support mechanisms 8 to circulate. A U-shaped conveying mechanism is installed on the inner mounting frame 4, driving several support mechanisms 8 to circulate along the U-shaped movable groove 46, passing through each cleaning station. The fragrance cup 11, with its opening facing downwards, is fitted onto the top of the support mechanism 8. After sequentially completing the outer wall spraying, side wall cleaning, bottom wall cleaning, and inner wall cleaning processes with the support mechanism 8, it is driven to detach and be unloaded by the worker in coordination with the loading and unloading mechanism 17, achieving batch continuous cleaning operations.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The loop conveying mechanism includes two sprockets 5 rotatably mounted at both ends of the top of the inner mounting frame 4. A conveyor chain 6 is connected to the outer side of the two sprockets 5, and several support mechanisms 8 are evenly distributed and rotatably mounted on the outer edge of the conveyor chain 6. A rotary drive mechanism 7 is mounted on the inner mounting frame 4, and the output end of the rotary drive mechanism 7 is fixedly connected to one of the sprockets 5. When the rotary drive mechanism 7 is working, it drives the sprockets 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the support mechanisms 8 to circulate along the loop trajectory defined by the loop movable groove 46 through the conveyor chain 6, thereby realizing the continuous conveying of the aromatherapy cup 11.

[0040] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The support mechanism 8 includes a support cylinder 24 and a support column 25 fixed to the top of the support cylinder 24. The support cylinder 24 is rotatably mounted on the conveyor chain 6 and passes through the loop groove 46, so that the support cylinder 24 can rotate around its own axis while revolving with the conveyor chain 6. The aromatherapy cup 11 is fitted with its opening facing downward on the outside of the support column 25 and is supported and positioned from the inside by the support column 25.

[0041] The auxiliary rotating mechanism includes a spiral-shaped auxiliary rotating gear ring 18 fixed to the bottom of the outer panel 2 and an auxiliary rotating gear 26 fixed to the outside of the support cylinder 24. The auxiliary rotating gear 26 meshes with the spiral-shaped auxiliary rotating gear ring 18, and a notch section 53 is formed on one side of the spiral-shaped auxiliary rotating gear ring 18. In the non-notch section area, when the support mechanism 8 revolves with the conveyor chain 6, the auxiliary rotating gear 26 rolls and meshes with the fixed spiral-shaped auxiliary rotating gear ring 18, driving the support cylinder 24 and support column 25 to continuously rotate, so that the aromatherapy cup 11 rotates around its own axis while being conveyed around the center, cooperating with the side wall cleaning mechanism 9 to achieve uniform cleaning of the entire circumference of the outer wall. When the support mechanism 8 reaches the notch section 53, the auxiliary rotating gear 26 disengages from the spiral-shaped auxiliary rotating gear ring 18, and the support mechanism 8 stops rotating, creating conditions for the inner wall cleaning and unloading process.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 The side wall cleaning mechanism 9 is fixedly installed on both sides of the top inside the cleaning cover 3, including the mounting box 19 fixedly installed on the cleaning cover 3. Side wall cleaning rollers 21 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the aromatherapy cup 11 at the bottom of the mounting box 19. Drive pulleys 22 are fixed to the outer top of the side wall cleaning rollers 21, and drive belts 23 are connected to the outer sides of the two drive pulleys 22. A second motor 20 is installed inside the mounting box 19, and the output end of the second motor 20 is fixedly connected to one of the drive pulleys 22. When the second motor 20 is working, it drives the two side wall cleaning rollers 21 to rotate synchronously through the drive belt 23. With the cooperation of the spray mechanism 15 spraying cleaning liquid, it mechanically cleans the side walls of the aromatherapy cup 11. Combined with the rotation of the aromatherapy cup 11 itself, it achieves full-circumference cleaning of the side walls.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 The top wall cleaning mechanism 10 includes a first mounting bracket 12 fixedly installed at both ends of the top of the outer panel 2. A first motor 13 is fixedly installed on the first mounting bracket 12. The output end of the first motor 13 is fixedly connected to a top wall cleaning roller 14. The top wall cleaning roller 14 is rotatably installed on the first mounting bracket 12 and located above the bottom wall of the aromatherapy cup 11. The first motor 13 drives the top wall cleaning roller 14 to rotate and perform rotational scrubbing on the outer surface of the bottom wall of the aromatherapy cup 11 with the opening facing downward, ensuring that the bottom wall is thoroughly cleaned.

[0044] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 12 The inner wall cleaning process of this device is as follows: An inner wall cleaning mechanism 16 is provided at the corresponding position of the notch section 53. A transmission cylinder 27 is rotatably arranged inside the support cylinder 24. The top of the transmission cylinder 27 extends out of the support cylinder 24 and is connected to the inner wall cleaning component; the bottom of the transmission cylinder 27 extends out of the support cylinder 24 and is fixed with a drive gear 28. A drive gear plate 54 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer panel 2 on the side of the notch section 53 away from the inner mounting bracket 4. When the support mechanism 8 moves to the notch section 53, the drive gear 28 of the transmission cylinder 27 meshes with the fixed drive gear plate 54. The revolution of the support mechanism 8 is converted into the rotation of the drive gear 28, which in turn drives the transmission cylinder 27 and the inner wall cleaning component to rotate. The cleaning cotton layer on the wiping cleaning rod 31 rotates to wipe the inner wall of the aromatherapy cup 11 without the need for an additional drive motor.

[0045] Reference Figures 7 to 9The inner wall cleaning assembly includes a first guide plate 32 fixed to the top of the transmission cylinder 27 and a transmission rod 38 rotatably disposed inside the transmission cylinder 27. The top of the transmission rod 38 extends out of the transmission cylinder 27 and is fixed with a cleaning pad cover 34. The top of the cleaning pad cover 34 is provided with a cleaning cotton layer, so that the bottom inner wall of the aromatherapy cup 11 is cleaned during the rotation of the inner wall cleaning assembly. A second guide plate 33 is fixed to the bottom of the cleaning pad cover 34. A flat helical spring 37 is provided inside the second guide plate 33. The two ends of the flat helical spring 37 are respectively connected to the first guide plate 32 and the second guide plate 33. When the transmission cylinder 27 rotates, the torque is flexibly transmitted to the second guide plate 33 through the flat helical spring 37, driving the cleaning pad cover 34 to rotate and wipe the inner bottom wall of the aromatherapy cup 11; the flat helical spring 37 also stores elastic potential energy and provides a reset driving force after the material is discharged.

[0046] The first guide plate 32 has several evenly distributed arc-shaped guide grooves 35, and the second guide plate 33 and the cleaning pad cover 34 have corresponding straight guide grooves 36. The wiping cleaning rod 31 is slidably disposed inside the straight guide groove 36, and the guide post 39 on it is slidably disposed inside the arc-shaped guide groove 35. In the natural state, the planar helical spring 37 continuously pushes the guide post 39 to remain at the outer end of the arc-shaped guide groove 35, and the wiping cleaning rod 31 maintains its maximum radial extension state, with the cleaning cotton layer tightly adhering to the inner wall of the aromatherapy cup 11 and rotating to wipe. When the first guide plate 32 and the second guide plate 33 rotate relative to each other, the arc-shaped guide groove 35 pushes the guide post 39 inward along the straight guide groove 36, driving the wiping cleaning rod 31 to retract radially, allowing the aromatherapy cup 11 to fall off smoothly.

[0047] Reference Figures 12 to 14 The braking and positioning process of this device is as follows: To ensure the cleanliness of the inner wall and the accuracy of the material feeding action, guide grooves 47 are provided on both sides of the loop-shaped movable groove 46 at the bottom of the top plate of the outer panel 2 and the inner mounting bracket 4, inside the notch section 53. A stop rack 49 is slidably provided inside the guide groove 47, and a return spring 48 is provided between the stop rack 49 and the end of the guide groove 47. One end of the guide groove 47 near the starting end of the notch section 53 is aligned with the starting end of the notch section 53, and the other end gradually opens outward toward the ending end of the notch section 53.

[0048] Reference Figure 13 At the beginning of the notch section 53, the return spring 48 is in its naturally extended state, and the stop rack 49, under the push of the spring force, meshes with the auxiliary rotating gear 26, locking the rotation of the support mechanism 8 and preventing it from rotating randomly within the notch section 53, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the inner wall and the accuracy and reliability of the material feeding action. (Refer to...) Figure 14When the support mechanism 8 runs to the end of the notch section 53, the side wall of the outer opening section of the guide groove 47 forces the stop rack 49 to overcome the elastic force of the return spring 48 and move laterally. The stop rack 49 and the auxiliary rotating gear 26 gradually disengage, the support mechanism 8 automatically releases the brake, and smoothly enters the next section of the loop auxiliary rotating gear ring 18 to resume rotation. The entire braking and release process is completed automatically by the mechanical structure without external control.

[0049] It should be noted that this device achieves automatic gear alignment through the following mechanism: After the auxiliary gear 26 leaves the circular auxiliary gear ring 18 and enters the notch section 53, its rotation constraint is immediately released, and the support mechanism 8 is in a free state that can rotate freely; at this time, the two stop racks 49 independently apply pressure to the auxiliary gear 26 under the elastic force of their respective return springs 48. If the teeth of the auxiliary gear 26 have not yet aligned with the grooves of the two stop racks 49 simultaneously, there must be a transitional state in which at least one rack has meshed with the auxiliary gear 26 while the other has not yet fully meshed; the stop rack 49 on the meshed side forms a unilateral thrust on the auxiliary gear 26, driving the auxiliary gear 26 to continue to rotate slightly until its teeth are aligned with the grooves of the two stop racks 49 simultaneously, and both stop racks 49 are fully embedded in the grooves of the auxiliary gear 26. The auxiliary gear 26 is clamped and locked by the two racks, and the support mechanism 8 completes braking and positioning. The minute rotation angle required for the automatic tooth alignment process does not exceed the angle corresponding to one tooth pitch. Its impact on the positioning accuracy of cleaning the inner wall of the aromatherapy cup 11 and subsequent actions is negligible. Therefore, the stop racks 49 on both sides and the auxiliary rotating gear 26 will not get stuck.

[0050] Reference Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 The feeding, unloading, and loading processes of this device are as follows: The loading / unloading mechanism 17 includes a first connecting plate 29 fixed to the bottom of the transmission cylinder 27 and a second connecting plate 30 fixed to the bottom of the transmission rod 38. A second actuating protrusion 41 and a first actuating protrusion 40 protrude from the outer side walls of the first connecting plate 29 and the second connecting plate 30, respectively. A mounting groove 42 is provided between the first connecting plate 29 and the second connecting plate 30. An arc-shaped spring 43 is provided inside the mounting groove 42. A first abutting block 44 is fixed on the first connecting plate 29, and a second abutting block 45 is fixed on the second connecting plate 30. The two ends of the arc-shaped spring 43 abut against the first abutting block 44 and the second abutting block 45, respectively. In its natural state, the arc-shaped spring 43 drives the first connecting plate 29 and the second connecting plate 30 to maintain a radially extended relative position of the wiping cleaning rod 31. The first actuating protrusion 40 and the second actuating protrusion 41 are respectively located at the actuation position on the outer side walls of the first connecting plate 29 and the second connecting plate 30.

[0051] A second mounting bracket 50 is provided at the bottom of the outer panel 2 near the end of the notch section 53. Unloading drive plates 51 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the second mounting bracket 50. Multiple sets of unloading protrusions 52 are provided on the side of the two unloading drive plates 51 that are close to each other. The unloading protrusions 52 are respectively adapted to the first actuating protrusion 40 and the second actuating protrusion 41. When the support mechanism 8 moves to the unloading position, the first actuating protrusion 40 first contacts the corresponding unloading protrusion 52, causing the transmission rod 38 to rotate relative to the transmission cylinder 27; subsequently, the second actuating protrusion 41 contacts the corresponding unloading protrusion 52, further causing the transmission cylinder 27 to rotate relative to the transmission rod 38; these two actuations cause the first guide plate 32 and the second guide plate 33 to generate sufficient relative rotation, causing the wiping cleaning rod 31 to retract radially completely, reducing the support and friction on the aromatherapy cup 11. Only the bottom outer edge of the support column 25 provides support for the inner wall of the aromatherapy cup 11. At this point, with a little force, the aromatherapy cup 11 can be detached, completing the unloading and unloading process. It should be noted that during the process of removing the aromatherapy cup 11, the aromatherapy cup 11 can be slightly rotated so that the part that was originally in contact with the bottom outer edge of the support column 25 is also wiped by the wiping cleaning rod 31, improving the cleaning effect. After the material is fed, the arc spring 43 releases its elastic force, driving the first connecting plate 29 and the second connecting plate 30 to reset in the opposite direction. The wiping and cleaning rod 31 then automatically pops out radially, restoring the feeding state and preparing for the feeding of the next aromatherapy cup 11. The feeding mechanism 17 achieves continuous automatic cycle operation.

[0052] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
