DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined invention purpose, the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a scrap metal cleaning and draining device comprises a cleaning box 1, a draining rack 2 and a bubble generator. The cleaning box 1 comprises a cleaning pool 101 and a filtering pool 102 with openings upward. A partition 3 is provided between the cleaning pool 101 and the filtering pool 102. An overflow trough 301 is provided on the partition 3. If the water level in the cleaning pool 101 is too high, it will naturally overflow into the filtering pool 102. The bubble generator is installed at the bottom of the cleaning pool 101. A pumping pipe 4 leading to the filtering pool 102 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning pool 101. A first water pump 5 is provided, and a return pipe 6 leading to the cleaning tank 101 is provided in the filter tank 102. A second water pump 7 is provided on the return pipe 6, which can replenish the water in the filter tank 102 to the cleaning tank 101. The lower end of the drain rack 2 can be sunk into the cleaning tank 101, and the upper end of the drain rack 2 can be erected on the upper end of the cleaning tank 101. Scrap metal can be loaded in the drain rack 2. When the scrap metal is immersed in the water in the cleaning tank 101, the bubbles generated by the bubble generator continue to surge, and the water rolls and impacts on the surface of the scrap metal to achieve deep cleaning.

[0027] In the above embodiment, the bubble generator includes a bubble plate 9 and an air pump 8, an air cavity is provided inside the bubble plate 9, a honeycomb hole communicating with the air cavity is provided at the upper end of the bubble plate 9, the air pump 8 is installed at the bottom of the cleaning box 1, the air pump 8 is connected with the air cavity, the air pump 8 pumps air into the air cavity, and emits air from the honeycomb hole into the cleaning pool 101; a positioning groove is provided at the upper end of the cleaning pool 101, and both ends of the drain rack 2 are embedded in the positioning groove to prevent the drain rack 2 from shifting or even falling into the cleaning pool 101 as a whole due to the impact of water flow during scrap metal cleaning; a filter plate 10 is provided in the filter pool 102, and the filter plate 10 is located on the side of the overflow tank 301. Water overflows from the overflow trough 301 onto the filter plate 10, and large floating particles in the cleaning pool 101 are filtered out by the filter plate 10 to achieve preliminary filtration; a sponge 11 is laid on the filter plate 10 to deeply filter fine particles in the water; a water replenishment pipe 12 is provided on the cleaning box 1, and the water replenishment pipe 12 leads to the filter pool 102 to maintain a stable water level in the filter pool 102, so as to ensure that enough water flows back into the cleaning pool 101; a drainage pipe 13 is provided at the bottom of the filter pool 102, and a solenoid valve 14 is provided on the drainage pipe 13. When the water level is too high, the drainage pipe 13 can be controlled by the solenoid valve 14 to drain water and maintain a stable water level.

[0028] In the above embodiment, a liquid level detector is provided in the filtering pool 102 for detecting the water level; the liquid level detector is a float 15, which provides real-time feedback according to the water level; a switch door 16 is provided at one end of the cleaning pool 101. After the device has been used for multiple cleaning and draining of scrap metal, a large amount of metal fragments, silt, etc. will accumulate at the bottom of the cleaning pool 101. After the switch door 16 is opened, the metal fragments, silt, etc. can be cleaned out from the side, which is convenient and quick; a door lock 17 is provided at the upper end of the cleaning box 1, which keeps the switch door 16 closed when the switch door 16 is closed; a vibrator 18 is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning box 1, which can be used to clean the scrap metal in the cleaning tank 101. After the old metal is cleaned, the water pump in the cleaning tank 101 flows into the filtering tank 102, and the scrap metal is drained in the cleaning tank 101, and the vibrator 18 helps to accelerate the flow of water on the surface of the scrap metal; the inner wall of the cleaning tank 101 is provided with a heating plate 19, when the cleaning agent is added to the cleaning tank 101, increasing the water temperature helps to improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning agent; the outer wall of the cleaning box 1 is provided with a control panel 20, and the control panel 20 is electrically connected to the water pump, the air pump 8, the solenoid valve 14, the liquid level detector, the door lock 17, the vibrator 18, and the heating plate 19, respectively, and convenient operation can be achieved through the control panel 20.

[0029] Description of the working method of this utility model:

[0030] Operate the control panel 20, replenish tap water to a certain liquid level in the cleaning tank 101 through the water supply pipe 12, and then replenish tap water to a certain liquid level in the cleaning tank 101 through the return pipe 6, then put the scrap metal into the drain rack 2, and immerse the drain rack 2 in the water of the cleaning tank 101. When the drain rack 2 is immersed in the water, the liquid level in the cleaning tank 101 rises. After being completely immersed in the water, if the liquid level is higher than the overflow tank 301, the excess water will flow to the sponge 11 on the filter plate 10 through the overflow tank 301, and flow into the filter tank 102 after being filtered; then, the air pump 8 is started, and bubbles continue to emerge from the honeycomb holes on the bubble plate 9. In the process of a large number of bubbles constantly rising, the water continuously rolls and impacts on the surface of the scrap metal, thereby achieving all-round cleaning of the scrap metal, and the floating objects mixed in the scrap metal float to the water surface and overflow to the filter plate 10 under the continuous fluctuation of the water surface. After the scrap metal has been cleaned for a certain period of time, the air pump 8 stops pumping air, and the water in the cleaning pool 101 enters the filter pool 102 through the pumping pipe 4. When the liquid level in the cleaning pool 101 drops to below the drain rack 2, the scrap metal enters the draining state. At this time, the vibrator 18 can be started to accelerate the draining process; if it is necessary to further remove the surface moisture of the scrap metal, the air pump 8 can be started at the end of the draining work to blow air on the scrap metal to accelerate the flow of water. After a certain number of uses, the sponge 11 needs to be cleaned or replaced, and the switch door 16 needs to be opened to clean the bottom of the cleaning pool 101. After long-term use, the bottom of the filter pool 102 needs to be cleaned to ensure the normal use of each component.
