[0030] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "connected," "connected," "fixed," etc. used in the present invention should be interpreted broadly. For example, the terms may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection, welding connection; direct connection, indirect connection through an intermediate medium, internal communication between two elements, or interaction between two elements, unless otherwise explicitly defined. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, a washdown cleaning device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention includes a wash cover 10 and a wash box 20. The wash cover 10 is connected to the wash box 20. The wash cover 10 is provided with a water inlet 11. The wash box 20 is provided with at least two wash slots 21 extending along a first direction X. Adjacent wash slots 21 are spaced apart along a second direction Y. The wash slots 21 include a first through slot 22 and a second through slot 25 that are sequentially connected along the first direction X. The first through slot 22 and the second through slot 25 are correspondingly arranged at positions in the second direction Y. An end of the first through slot 22 away from the second through slot 25 is connected to the water inlet 11. An end of the second through slot 25 away from the first through slot 22 is provided with a drain outlet 28. The width a of the first through slot 22 is greater than the width b of the second through slot 25. An end of the second through slot 25 facing the first through slot 22 is provided with a product placement position 32.
[0032] The first direction X and the second direction Y intersect.
[0033] In the washdown cleaning device of the present invention, the water inlet 11 is used to be connected to a flushing water source, and the flushing water flows into the flushing trough 21 from the water inlet 11. The flushing trough 21 is provided with a first through-trough 22 and a second through-trough 25 that are sequentially connected along a first direction X. The diameter of the first through-trough 22 is larger than the diameter of the second through-trough 25. The second through-trough 25 is located below the first through-trough 22. The width of the second through-trough 25 is smaller than the width of the first through-trough 22. The width of the second through-trough 25 is smaller than the diameter of the product 13. A product placement position 32 is provided at one end of the second through-trough 25 facing the first through-trough 22. The product 13 is supported and limited by the product placement position 32, preventing the product 13 from falling along the flushing trough 21 during the flushing process and ensuring that the product 13 remains in the product placement position 32 during the flushing process. The water inlet 11 is located at the upper end of the first through-groove 22. The flushing water flows into the first through-groove 22 and flows along the first through-groove 22. Since the first through-groove 22 is connected to the second through-groove 25, the flushing water flows into the second through-groove 25 and is discharged from the drain 28. Since the flushing products 13 are placed vertically as a whole, the overall space occupied by the device is small. Multiple flushing products 13 can be placed at the same time for simultaneous flushing, improving cleaning efficiency. The surface to be cleaned of the flushing products 13 is consistent with the flow direction of the flushing water. The impact force of the water flow can effectively remove dirt, impurities or residues on the surface. This directional impact force can form a continuous cleaning action, avoiding relative stagnation or backflow between the water flow and the surface to be cleaned, thereby improving cleaning speed and effect.
[0034] As one embodiment, the first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y.
[0035] Further, such as Figures 1 to 6As shown, the flushing box 20 includes an upper flushing box 29 and a lower flushing box 30. The first through-slot 22 is provided in the upper flushing box 29, and the second through-slot 25 is provided in the lower flushing box 30. The upper flushing box 29 and the lower flushing box 30 are connected on opposite sides. The upper end of the upper flushing box 29 is connected to the flushing cover 10. After the lower portion of the product 13 is placed in the second through-slot 25 of the lower flushing box 30 for initial positioning, the upper portion of the product 13 is then inserted into the corresponding first through-slot 22 to complete the placement of the product 13. Based on the initial positioning, the insertion of the upper portion of the product 13 into the first through-slot 22 further ensures the overall stability of the product 13.
[0036] Further, such as Figure 4 As shown, the opposing sides of the second through groove 25 in the third direction Z are respectively the first side 26 and the second side 27, and the opposing sides of the first through groove 22 in the third direction Z are respectively the third side 23 and the fourth side 24. The first side 26 and the third side 23 are respectively located on the same side of the flushing groove 21, and the first side 26 protrudes from the third side 23 toward the second side 27. The second side 27 and the fourth side 24 are respectively located on the same side of the flushing groove 21, and the second side 27 protrudes from the fourth side 24 toward the first side 26. By arranging the first side 26 to protrude from the third side 23 and the second side 27 to protrude from the fourth side 24, the flushing product 13 can be supported on both sides of the third direction Z, thereby improving the support stability and placement reliability of the product 13. The flushing water flows along the third side 23 and the fourth side 24 respectively, which can fully flush the connection between the first through groove 22 and the second through groove 25, promote the discharge of dirt, avoid secondary contamination during the flushing process, and ensure the cleaning effect.
[0037] As one embodiment, the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.
[0038] As one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, the distance that the first side surface 26 protrudes relative to the third side surface 23 is equal to the distance that the second side surface 27 protrudes relative to the fourth side surface 24, so that the force applied to the product 13 is more uniform, thereby improving the supporting stability and placement reliability of the product 13.
[0039] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the first side surface 26 and the second side surface 27 are each provided with a rounded support surface 31 at one end facing the first through slot 22. The two rounded support surfaces 31 define a product placement position 32. The rounded support surfaces 31 prevent the product 13 from directly contacting sharp edges, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the product 13 due to collision during placement or removal.
[0040] Further, such as Figures 2 to 3As shown, the width c of the rinsing groove 21 in the second direction Y is set to 1mm-2mm, and the length d of the first through groove 22 in the third direction Z is set to 110mm-112mm. The products 13 to be rinsed are placed in a relatively narrow and long space for rinsing, reducing the space required to store the rinsing liquid, rinsing the products 13 with a smaller amount of water, and reducing cleaning costs. The narrow and long space ensures sufficient contact between the products 13 and the rinsing liquid, improving the cleaning effect.
[0041] Further, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the flushing cover 10 has a water storage chamber 12 on the side facing the flushing box 20. The water storage chamber 12 is connected to the water inlet 11, and each flushing slot 21 is connected to the water storage chamber 12. High-pressure liquid is rapidly distributed throughout the device through the multiple flushing slots 21 connected to the water storage chamber 12, ensuring that each flushing slot 21 receives sufficient flushing liquid, thereby improving cleaning efficiency. Because the flushing liquid is evenly distributed from the water storage chamber 12 to each flushing slot 21, the cleaning pressure in each flushing slot 21 is relatively balanced, ensuring that the surface of the product 13 is evenly cleaned, avoiding the problem of insufficient or excessive cleaning in some areas, and thus optimizing the cleaning effect.
[0042] Furthermore, a support frame 40 is included, and the flushing cover 10 and the support frame 40 are telescopically connected along the first direction X, so that the flushing cover 10 and the flushing box 20 can move closer to or farther away from each other to realize opening or closing of the flushing cover 10 and the flushing box 20.
[0043] Further, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the support frame 40 is connected to a lifting drive member 41, the flushing box 20 is connected to the support frame 40, and the flushing cover 10 and the flushing box 20 are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction X. The flushing cover 10 is connected to the support frame 40 by the lifting drive. The flushing cover 10 and the flushing box 20 are controlled by the lifting drive member 41 to move closer to or farther away from each other, so as to realize opening or closing of the flushing cover 10 and the flushing box 20, which is more convenient to operate.
[0044] Further, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the lower end of the flushing box 20 in the first direction X is connected to a support block 33, and the drain outlet 28 and the lower end surface of the support block 33 in the first direction X have a set distance. Through the setting of the support block 33, the drain outlet 28 has a certain distance from the ground to prevent wastewater from flowing back into the flushing tank 21 and causing secondary pollution.
[0045] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the flushing cover 10 and the flushing upper box 29 are connected to form a whole, which reduces the assembly steps of the flushing cover 10, the flushing upper box 29 and the flushing lower box 30 and improves the efficiency of the flushing operation.
[0046] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention provides a flushing cleaning device, wherein the water inlet 11 is used to be connected to a flushing water source, and the flushing water flows into the flushing trough 21 from the water inlet 11. The flushing trough 21 is provided with a first through-trough 22 and a second through-trough 25 which are connected in sequence along a first direction X. The diameter of the first through-trough 22 is larger than the diameter of the second through-trough 25. The second through-trough 25 is located below the first through-trough 22. The width of the second through-trough 25 is smaller than the width of the first through-trough 22. The width of the second through-trough 25 is smaller than the diameter of the product 13. A product placement position 32 is provided at one end of the second through-trough 25 facing the first through-trough 22. The product 13 is supported and limited by the product placement position 32, thereby preventing the product 13 from falling along the flushing trough 21 during the flushing process and ensuring that the product 13 remains in the product placement position 32 during the flushing process. The water inlet 11 is located at the upper end of the first through-groove 22. The flushing water flows into the first through-groove 22 and flows along the first through-groove 22. Since the first through-groove 22 is connected to the second through-groove 25, the flushing water flows into the second through-groove 25 and is discharged from the drain 28. Since the flushing products 13 are placed vertically as a whole, the overall space occupied by the device is small. Multiple flushing products 13 can be placed at the same time for simultaneous flushing, improving cleaning efficiency. The surface to be cleaned of the flushing products 13 is consistent with the flow direction of the flushing water. The impact force of the water flow can effectively remove dirt, impurities or residues on the surface. This directional impact force can form a continuous cleaning action, avoiding relative stagnation or backflow between the water flow and the surface to be cleaned, thereby improving cleaning speed and effect.
[0047] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and replacements can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
