[0030] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the feature vectors in the embodiments can be arbitrarily combined with each other.

[0031] In order to solve the problems existing in the related art, the embodiment of the present application provides a kettle body cleaning device including a main body and a cleaning disc, the top surface of the cleaning disc is connected to the output shaft of the driving motor in the main body, the bottom surface of the cleaning brush is provided with a plurality of protrusions, the protrusions are formed by the bottom surface of the cleaning brush protruding outward, and grooves are formed between adjacent protrusions, and a cleaning brush is also provided on the bottom surface of the cleaning disc, and the cleaning brush at least covers the protrusions. In the present application, by providing protrusions on the bottom surface of the cleaning disc and forming grooves between adjacent protrusions, during the cleaning process, the cleaning brush covering the protrusions can generate friction with the inner wall of the kettle body and collect the scraped impurities in the grooves. The impurities collected in the grooves can be taken out together with the cleaning disc, without the need for an additional collection step, which is conducive to improving the cleaning efficiency; and the bottom surface of the cleaning disc is also provided with a cleaning brush, which can improve the cleaning effect and prevent the protrusions from directly contacting the kettle body and causing wear.

[0032] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a kettle body cleaning device, which can be used to clean a chemical reaction (stirring) kettle. For example, a chemical reactor is a reactor used to prepare carbon fiber reinforced resin-based prepreg. The reactor has a relatively deep depth (about 1.5m), and conventional means cannot reach the bottom of the reactor, resulting in time-consuming and labor-intensive cleaning.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the kettle cleaning device provided in this embodiment includes a main body 10, which can be used by an operator to hold in hand (for example, the outer peripheral surface of the main body 10 is provided with multiple handles 12, and the multiple handles 12 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the main body 10), and can also be used to connect with external support components, such as a robotic arm, a lifting frame, etc. Figure 1The main body 10 can be, for example, a barrel-shaped shell (diameter of about 30 cm, height of about 80 cm), which defines a motor installation space. The drive motor 20 of the kettle cleaning device is arranged in the motor installation space, and the drive motor 20 can output torque to provide cleaning power.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the kettle cleaning device also includes a cleaning disc 30. The top surface of the cleaning disc 30 is connected to the output shaft 21 of the drive motor 20. The connection can include direct connection or indirect connection (for example, connection formed by a transmission mechanism 50). The cleaning disc 30 is disc-shaped, but not limited to a circular disc. For example, it can be a square disc, a rectangular disc, an oval disc or a special-shaped disc. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the thickness direction of the cleaning disk 30 ( Figure 1 The z-direction (shown in FIG) is parallel to the axis of the output shaft 21 of the drive motor 20. The drive motor 20 outputs torque to drive the cleaning disc 30 to rotate, thereby removing impurities from the inner wall of the kettle body through friction. In one example, the cleaning disc 30 is disc-shaped with a diameter of approximately 50 cm and a thickness of approximately 5 cm.

[0035] Among them, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the bottom surface of the cleaning disc 30 is provided with a plurality of raised portions 31. The raised portions 31 are formed by the inward depression of the bottom surface of the cleaning brush. Grooves 32 are formed between adjacent raised portions 31. In addition, the area of the raised portions 31 is much larger than the area of the grooves 32. It can be understood that during the cleaning process, the raised portions 31 can contact and generate friction with the inner wall surface of the kettle body to scrape off impurities on the inner wall of the kettle body. The scraped impurities will be collected in the grooves 32 between adjacent raised portions 31. Moreover, as the cleaning process gradually progresses, more and more impurities will accumulate in the grooves 32 and be squeezed into shape, making it difficult for the impurities to fall out of the grooves 32 in a natural state. Therefore, no additional operation is required to remove the scraped impurities, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0036] In this embodiment, the shape of the protrusion 31 is not particularly limited. In one example, the protrusion 31 includes a triangular protrusion and a sword-shaped protrusion, which are spaced apart at six equal parts of the cleaning disk 30, with "Y"-shaped grooves 32 formed between adjacent triangular protrusions and sword-shaped protrusions.

[0037] The bottom surface of the cleaning disc 30 is further provided with a cleaning brush, which covers at least the raised portion 31. In one example, the cleaning brush may only cover the raised portion 31. In another example, the cleaning brush may cover both the raised portion 31 and the groove 32. It can be confirmed that the cleaning brush is made of a specific material for cleaning, so that it can effectively remove impurities on the kettle body. Therefore, by providing a cleaning brush that at least covers the raised portion 31, the cleaning disc 30 has a stronger cleaning performance. In addition, the cleaning brush can also prevent the cleaning disc 30 from directly contacting the kettle body and causing wear, and prevent impurities from directly contacting the cleaning disc 30 and causing corrosion of the cleaning disc 30, thereby extending the service life of the cleaning disc 30.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, a protrusion is provided on the bottom surface of the cleaning disc, and grooves are formed between adjacent protrusions. During the cleaning process, the cleaning brush covering the protrusion can generate friction with the inner wall of the kettle body and collect the scraped impurities in the groove. The impurities collected in the groove can be taken out together with the cleaning disc without the need for an additional collection step, which is conducive to improving the cleaning efficiency. In addition, a cleaning brush is also provided on the bottom surface of the cleaning disc, which can improve the cleaning effect and prevent the protrusion from directly contacting the kettle body and causing wear.

[0039] In an exemplary embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a kettle body cleaning device including a main body 10 and a cleaning disc 30. The top surface of the cleaning disc 30 is connected to the output shaft 21 of the driving motor 20 in the main body 10. The bottom surface of the cleaning brush is provided with multiple protrusions 31. The protrusions 31 are formed by the bottom surface of the cleaning brush protruding outward, and grooves 32 are formed between adjacent protrusions 31. A cleaning brush is also provided on the bottom surface of the cleaning disc 30, and the cleaning brush at least covers the protrusions 31.

[0040] In this embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, in the direction away from the bottom surface of the cleaning plate 30 of the protrusion 31 ( Figure 3 In the direction opposite to the z direction shown in the figure, the size of the protrusion 31 gradually increases, so that the size of the groove 32 formed by two adjacent protrusions 31 gradually decreases, so as to prevent impurities accumulated in the groove 32 from falling off from the groove 32 when the kettle cleaning device is taken out after cleaning.

[0041] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning brush also covers the groove 32 of the cleaning plate 30, that is, the cleaning brush covers both the raised portion 31 and the groove 32 on the bottom surface of the cleaning plate 30. It is certain that during the cleaning process, impurities scraped from the kettle body will accumulate in the groove 32. By placing the cleaning brush in the groove 32, it is possible to prevent impurities from adhering to the inner wall of the groove 32. For example, after cleaning is completed, the cleaning brush in the groove 32 can be removed to remove the impurities, thereby improving efficiency and protecting the cleaning plate 30.

[0042] It should be noted that the cleaning brush covering the groove 32 may only cover the bottom surface of the groove 32 or may cover the bottom surface and side surfaces of the groove 32 at the same time, without further limitation.

[0043] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning brush includes a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion covers the protrusion 31 and the second portion covers the groove 32. In this embodiment, by configuring the cleaning brush to cover both the protrusion 31 and the groove 32, the protection reliability of the cleaning brush is improved, and impurities accumulated in the groove 32 are removed, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0044] In one example, see Figure 1 The first and second parts of the cleaning brush are integrally formed. This integral structure allows for easy assembly and disassembly, allowing the brush to be installed on or removed from the cleaning tray 30 in a single operation. Furthermore, when the integral structure is used, the brush covers the entire bottom surface of the cleaning tray 30, including the sides of the groove 32, thereby fully isolating the cleaning tray 30 from impurities.

[0045] In another example (not shown in the drawings), the first part and the second part are independent split structures. The split structure can have higher installation accuracy and reduce assembly requirements. For example, when one of the cleaning brushes falls off, the other cleaning brushes that have not fallen off can still ensure the cleaning effect of the kettle cleaning device.

[0046] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the multiple protrusions 31 have the same shape, and the multiple protrusions 31 are evenly distributed along the circumferential direction of the cleaning disc 30 .

[0047] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning brush is detachably connected to the cleaning tray 30. It is understood that a large amount of impurities will accumulate in the cleaning brush after each cleaning. Therefore, the cleaning brush and the cleaning tray 30 are detachably connected so that a used cleaning brush can be removed and replaced with a clean one, thereby ensuring the continuous operation of the kettle cleaning device, increasing normal operation time, and improving efficiency. The removed and replaced cleaning brush can be disposed of according to actual needs, such as being cleaned of impurities and reused, or being discarded directly, without further restrictions.

[0048] In one example, the cleaning brush and the cleaning disc 30 are bonded together by an adhesive layer.

[0049] In another example, a plurality of through holes are provided in the cleaning brush (not shown in the drawings), and a plurality of threaded holes are provided in the cleaning plate (not shown in the kettle body). Fasteners (such as screws) pass through the through holes on the cleaning brush and cooperate with the threaded holes to fix the cleaning brush to the bottom surface of the cleaning plate.

[0050] The cleaning brush can be, for example, a scouring pad, which is a non-woven abrasive product made of a special fiber base and then abrasive sand. The scouring pad can perform elastic abrasion and effectively prevent the kettle cleaning device from over-cutting and scratching the kettle.

[0051] Among them, such as Figure 2 As shown, the output shaft 21 of the drive motor 20 is connected to the cleaning disc 30 via an adapter 40. The adapter 40 can be a quick-release joint, which includes two detachable parts. The two parts are locked to each other in the circumferential direction of the output shaft 21 and can be quickly disassembled and assembled in the axial direction of the output shaft 21.

[0052] For example, see Figure 2 The adapter 40 includes a first adapter 41 having a protrusion extending along the axis of the output shaft 21, with multiple protrusions arranged circumferentially along the first adapter 41. The second adapter 42 has a recessed structure formed along the axis of the output shaft 21, with multiple recessed structures arranged circumferentially along the second adapter 42. In the assembled state, the multiple protrusions extend into the multiple recessed structures. Figure 2 The first adapter 41 and the second quick-connect assembly are provided with pin holes 43. The pin holes 43 penetrate the first adapter 41 and the second adapter 42 in the radial direction. When the protruding structures and the recessed structures on the first adapter 41 and the second adapter 42 are aligned, the pin holes 43 on the first adapter 41 and the second adapter 42 are aligned. By inserting a limit pin 44 into the pin hole 43, the displacement of the first adapter 41 and the second adapter 42 in the axial direction of the output shaft 21 can be limited.

[0053] Among them, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the kettle cleaning device further includes a transmission mechanism 50, which includes a mounting frame 11, a first gear 51 and a second gear 52, wherein the first gear 51 and the second gear 52 are engaged with each other. Figure 2The first gear 51 is connected to the output shaft 21 of the drive motor 20, the second gear 52 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 11, and the cleaning disc 30 is connected to the second gear 52. In this embodiment, the output shaft 21 of the drive motor 20 is indirectly connected to the cleaning disc 30 via the meshing first gear 51 and second gear 52. The deflection force between the cleaning disc 30 and the kettle body is directly transmitted to the second gear 52 and the mounting bracket 11, thereby preventing the output shaft 21 of the drive motor 20 from being subjected to deflection force, thereby extending the service life of the drive motor 20.
