Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of operating transport devices, in particular to a conveyor plate chain cleaning mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the current automated production of winemaking, stainless steel chain conveyors are widely used for the transportation and transfer of materials. After a period of use, dust, scale and materials will accumulate on the surface of the chain, increasing the resistance of the chain and easily causing the chain to break and damage. Moreover, materials attached to the chain for a long time are prone to deterioration and are carried into the next process, seriously affecting the quality of the wine and the fermentation of the lees. Therefore, regular cleaning is required. The existing cleaning methods mainly involve disassembling the chain for cleaning or using a brush roller for online cleaning. Disassembly and cleaning are laborious and time-consuming, affecting production efficiency. Using a brush roller for online cleaning can only clean the outside of the chain, but not the inside of the chain, and the cleaning effect is not ideal.

[0003] Therefore, the patent with publication number CN111038969A proposes an automatic chain cleaning device, which is installed under the parallel chain machine and includes: a chain biasing mechanism, a water tank assembly, a brush roller mechanism and a fixing frame; the automatic chain cleaning device provided by it can solve the problem of serious chain sticking and even blocking holes, and improve the drying efficiency of mash. However, after the chain is rinsed through the water tank, the device directly wipes the chain return belt with the brush roller, and the chain is still sticky with a lot of water. As the chain is returned, part of it is taken out, affecting the working environment, and the chain carrying water is more likely to stick to new materials when it contacts them, and it affects the materials. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model aims to provide a conveyor plate chain cleaning mechanism to solve the technical problem that the existing chain plate cleaning device easily brings out water and affects the working environment and material transportation.

[0005] The embodiments of the present invention are implemented by the following technical solutions:

[0006] A conveyor plate chain cleaning mechanism includes a sprocket group for transporting the plate chain to the cleaning mechanism and a water tank for soaking and cleaning the plate chain, and also includes several groups of inner and outer air-drying ports respectively used for air-drying the inner and outer sides of the plate chain, and all of them are inclined toward the water tank.

[0007] Preferably, it also includes several groups of inner spray devices and outer spray devices for flushing the inner and outer sides of the plate chain, and they are all arranged before the inner air-drying port and the outer air-drying port and inclined toward the water tank.

[0008] Preferably, the sprocket group includes a first sprocket for guiding the plate chain into the water tank and a second sprocket for guiding the plate chain out of the water tank, and the inner spray device, the outer spray device, the inner air-drying port and the outer air-drying port are between the first sprocket and the second sprocket.

[0009] Preferably, the inner air-drying port and the outer air-drying port are connected to a fan for providing compressed air via a connecting pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the water tank is also provided with a collecting plate for collecting spray water and blown-off water droplets.

[0011] Preferably, the water tank is further provided with a collecting box for collecting flushing materials at the bottom of the water tank, and the collecting box is provided with a first valve for controlling the receiving of materials and a second valve for controlling the discharge of materials.

[0012] Preferably, the water trough is arranged on the return belt between the loading port and the unloading port of the conveyor chain plate.

[0013] By adopting this technical solution, the plate chain can be guided from the feeding port to the water tank through the first sprocket. After being soaked and rinsed in the water tank, the two sides of the plate chain are rinsed through the inner spray head and the outer spray head respectively, so as to disperse the residual materials and further clean the plate chain. The flushing spray direction is aimed at the water tank to prevent the spray water from spraying out of the water tank and affecting the working environment.

[0014] At the same time, the plate chain is dried by the inner air-drying device and the outer air-drying device, and the water on the plate chain is scraped off. The spray water is further blown to the water tank to prevent it from splashing out of the water tank. Then, a collecting plate is set to collect the water scraped off by the air-drying device and the water sprayed by the spraying device back to the water tank to avoid wasting water resources.

[0015] As the cleaning and collection processes accumulate, the water in the water tank will gradually accumulate more materials, affecting the cleaning effect of the subsequent plate chain water tank. The collection box is set up to collect the suspension of materials deposited at the bottom, and then discharge it for collection, ensuring continuous cleaning effect while fully collecting the cleaning materials for easy reuse or further processing.

[0016] The technical solution of the embodiment of the utility model has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The inner and outer spray heads of the utility model respectively flush both sides of the plate chain to disperse the residual materials and further clean the plate chain, and aim the flushing spray direction at the water tank to prevent the spray water from spraying out of the water tank and affecting the working environment;

[0018] 2. The utility model uses the inner and outer air-drying devices to air-dry the plate chain and scrape off the water from the plate chain, and further blows the spray water to the water tank to prevent it from splashing out of the water tank. Then, by setting a collecting plate, the water scraped off by the air-drying device and the water sprayed by the spraying device are collected back into the water tank to avoid wasting water resources.

[0019] 3. The utility model collects the suspension of materials deposited at the bottom through the collection box, and then discharges and collects it, thereby ensuring a continuous cleaning effect and fully collecting the cleaning materials for convenient reuse or further processing.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] A conveyor plate chain cleaning mechanism includes a sprocket group for transporting the plate chain 15 to the cleaning mechanism and a water tank 11 for soaking and cleaning the plate chain 15, and also includes a plurality of groups of inner air-drying ports 9 and outer air-drying ports 8 for air-drying the inner and outer sides of the plate chain 15, respectively, and all of them are inclined toward the water tank 11.

[0031] In this embodiment, several groups of inner spray devices 3 and outer spray devices 4 for flushing the inner and outer sides of the plate chain 15 are also included, and they are all arranged before the inner air-drying port 9 and the outer air-drying port 8 and inclined toward the water tank 11.

[0032] In this embodiment, the sprocket group includes a first sprocket 5 for guiding the plate chain 15 to the water tank 11 and a second sprocket 6 for guiding the plate chain 15 out of the water tank 11, and the inner spray device 3, the outer spray device 4, the inner air-drying port 9 and the outer air-drying port 8 are between the first sprocket 5 and the second sprocket 6.

[0033] In this embodiment, the inner air-drying port 9 and the outer air-drying port 8 are connected to a fan 7 for providing compressed air via a connecting pipe 13 .

[0034] In this embodiment, the water tank 11 is further provided with a collecting plate 16 for collecting the spray water and the blown-off water droplets.

[0035] In this embodiment, the water tank 11 is further provided with a collection box 12 for collecting materials flushed at the bottom of the water tank 11, and the collection box 12 is provided with a first valve 10 for controlling the reception of materials and a second valve 14 for controlling the discharge of materials.

[0036] In this embodiment, the water trough 11 is arranged on the return belt between the loading port 1 and the unloading port 2 of the conveyor chain plate.

[0037] In this embodiment, the wine lees are transported by the plate chain conveyor at the loading port 1 to the unloading port 2 and fall down, and a small portion of the wine lees remains in the holes of the plate chain; by utilizing the V-shaped cleaning structure and installing the first sprocket 5 and the second sprocket 6 at the corners, the passability and stability of the plate chain 15 can be increased, and at the same time, the installation space of the high-pressure vortex fan 7 and the collection box 12 is increased.

[0038] In this embodiment, the spray mechanism is composed of two groups of inner spray devices 3 and outer spray devices 4 arranged in mirror image. The water supply of the spray mechanism comes from an external tap water pipe. The spray pipe is composed of a chuck, a sanitary round pipe, and a pipe clamp. The fan-shaped nozzles are arranged in a straight line array with a spacing of 200 on one side of the outer circumference of the pipe; the air-drying mechanism is composed of two groups of ventilation outer air-drying ports 8 and inner air-drying ports 9 arranged in mirror image, and connected to the high-pressure vortex fan 7 through a connecting pipe 13 (PVC steel wire hose). The outer air-drying ports 8 and the inner air-drying ports 9 are in a 6-sided diamond shape, with ventilation gaps less than 3MM at the corners, and are connected and fixed with a throat clamp.

[0039] Working principle and usage:

[0040] The plate chain 15 can be guided from the discharge port 2 to the water tank 11 through the first sprocket 5. After being soaked and rinsed in the water tank 11, the inner and outer spray heads are used to rinse both sides of the plate chain 15 respectively, so as to disperse the residual materials and further clean the plate chain 15. The flushing spray direction is aimed at the water tank 11 to prevent the spray water from spraying out of the water tank 11 and affecting the working environment.

[0041] At the same time, the plate chain 15 is dried by the inner air-drying device and the outer air-drying device, and the water of the plate chain 15 is scraped off, and the spray water is further blown to the water tank 11 to prevent it from splashing out of the water tank 11. Then, the water scraped off by the air-drying device and the water sprayed by the spraying device are collected back to the water tank 11 by setting a collecting plate 16, so as to avoid wasting water resources;

[0042] As the cleaning and collection processes accumulate, the water in the water tank 11 will gradually accumulate more materials, affecting the cleaning effect of the subsequent plate chain 15 entering the water tank 11. The collection box 12 is set to collect the suspension of materials deposited at the bottom, and then discharge it for collection, thereby ensuring continuous cleaning effect while fully collecting the cleaning materials for easy reuse or further processing.

[0043] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may be subject to various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
