[0035] Embodiment 1

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, this embodiment provides a partition gate mechanism, including a gantry 10, a switching mechanism 20, a base 30, a detection light curtain 40 and a controller. An opening 101 communicating with the bottom surface is provided at the bottom of the gantry 10, and a limit detector 102 is provided at the top of the gantry 10; the switching mechanism 20 includes a gate 201 that covers or separates the opening 101 and a lifting unit 202 that drives the gate 201 to rise or fall. The lifting unit 202 is provided at the top of the gantry 10, and a trigger plate 2011 that is aligned with and touches or separates from the limit detector 102 is provided on the gate 201; the base 30 is disposed opposite to the gate 201 at the bottom of the gantry 10; the detection light curtain 40 is provided on the entrance end frame of the gantry 10, and the detection light curtain 40 (the grating light curtain with the model of EA5E1800Q or the detection light curtain 40 of GAE) is arranged in the direction of the gate 201; the limit detector 102 and the detection light curtain 40 are electrically connected to the input end of the controller, and the lifting unit is electrically connected to the output end of the controller.

[0037] In this embodiment, the controller can be a computer, a mobile phone, a control center, etc. After applying the detection light curtain 40, when the product to be cleaned enters the tunnel cleaning equipment for cleaning, the corresponding gate 201 can be automatically opened, greatly improving the production efficiency. Specifically, the infeed port detection light curtain 40 is composed of a set of transmitters and receivers. The transmitter will transmit a set of infrared light beams, and the receiver will include many light sensors. When there is a material entering and blocking between the transmitter and the receiver, the receiver cannot receive a complete signal, generating a signal. Through the controller, the lifting unit 202 is activated, causing the gate 201 to rise and open the opening 101, achieving the purpose of automatically opening or closing the gate 201 to improve the production efficiency.

[0038] In terms of installation, the partition gate mechanism is divided into three parts for the division of the tunnel cleaning equipment, that is, the top of the gantry 10 divides the top of the tunnel of the tunnel cleaning equipment, the base 30 divides the bottom of the tunnel, and the gate 201 performs the opening or closing separation action on the opening 101 on the gantry 10, thus achieving the effect of dividing the tunnel. Through multiple partition gate mechanisms, different processes in the tunnel cleaning equipment can be separated one by one to prevent mutual influence between different processes. At the same time, the transition distance between different processes can be reduced, the occupied space of the equipment can be decreased, and the practicability can be improved.

[0039] Furthermore, in order to achieve precise control of the opening and closing of the gate 201, a limit detector 102 is installed on the gantry 10. When the gate 201 moves upward until the trigger plate 2011 touches the detection end of the limit detector 102 (which can be a travel switch, such as the travel switch with the model of XCMN2102L1), the controller obtains the signal of the limit detector 102, and the lifting unit 202 stops, causing the gate 201 to stop moving synchronously.

[0040] As Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, two symmetrical avoidance notches 2012 are provided at the top corners on both sides of the bottom of the gate 201. The design of the avoidance notches 2012 is used to avoid the sprocket conveyor belt of the tunnel cleaning equipment, meeting the requirements of the structural design.

[0041] As Figure 1 shown, in this embodiment, a groove 103 for accommodating the side part of the gate 201 is provided on the side surface of the gantry 10. The symmetrical groove 103 design on both sides of the gantry 10 can ensure that the gate 201 will not shift during the movement process, ensuring the stability of the operation of the gate 201.

[0042] As Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, in this embodiment, the lifting unit 202 includes a mounting plate 2021 provided on the top of the gate 201 and a cylinder 2022 for driving the mounting plate 2021 to lift. The cylinder 2022 is provided on the top of the gantry 10. Through the design of the mounting plate 2021, the cylinder 2022 can be flexibly set or installed to improve the structural stability.

[0043] Furthermore, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, in this embodiment, a locking frame 104 opposite to the position of the mounting plate 2021 is provided on the top of the gantry 10. A guiding column 2023 is provided on the mounting plate 2021, and one end of the guiding column 2023 slidably penetrates through the locking frame 104; the cylinder 2022 is provided on the locking frame 104. The installation of the locking frame 104 can be designed to be aligned with the mounting plate 2021, thus forming two aligned installation platforms for installing the cylinder 2022 and the guiding column 2023. At the same time, the cylinder 2022 is misaligned with the gate 201 for lifting, improving the practicality of the structural design.

[0044] As Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, a stepped groove 301 is provided on the top surface of the base 30. The first - level step of the stepped groove 301 forms a shielding part, and the second - level step of the stepped groove 301 is aligned with the gate 201. Through the shielding part, the docking position between the gate 201 and the base 30 can be shielded and protected. At the same time, the design of the base 30 can be flexibly connected to the bottom of the tunnel of the tunnel cleaning equipment to meet the shape of its bottom contour, with flexible assembly design. It can also withstand the impact force when the gate 201 is closed through the cooperation between the base 30 and the gate 201, providing protection for other frame structures of the tunnel cleaning equipment.

[0045] In this embodiment, the gate 201 is a double-layer splint, and sound insulation cotton (not shown) is arranged between the double-layer splints. The design of the sound insulation cotton can reduce the noise during the operation of the equipment and provide a relatively good working environment. At the same time, the design of the double-layer structure facilitates installation, disassembly, and subsequent equipment maintenance, improving practicability.

[0046] Embodiment 2

[0047] This embodiment provides a tunnel-type cleaning device, including the partition gate mechanism described in Embodiment 1. Multiple partition gate mechanisms are provided, and the multiple partition gate mechanisms are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the production line.

[0048] Specifically, a partition gate mechanism can be designed at each of the tunnel inlet and outlet of the tunnel-type cleaning device to form a partition for the feeding position at the inlet and the discharging position at the outlet, separate the processes, and at the same time, can insulate the operation of the internal cleaning device. Inside the tunnel of the tunnel-type cleaning device, it can be designed according to the number of processes. For example, if there are two processes of cleaning and drying, one partition gate mechanism is used for separation; if there are three processes of cleaning, drying, and cooling, two partition gate mechanisms are used for separation. In this way, the purpose of separating processes through the partition gate mechanism is achieved, reducing the transition distance between different processes and improving practicability.

[0049] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
