Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning, in particular to an automatic cleaning mechanism. Background Art

[0002] In the application of bead chain conveyor systems, especially those involving rolling sorting and transportation, the bead chain, as a key transmission and load-bearing component, inevitably comes into direct contact with the material surface while efficiently transporting the material. This contact often results in a large amount of dust, sugar, and other tiny dirt particles adhering to the surface of the bead chain. These contaminants not only affect the smooth operation of the bead chain but can also adversely affect subsequent processes, such as contaminating the product, reducing production efficiency, and increasing maintenance costs.

[0003] After searching, the Chinese patent document application number: 202120149532.7 discloses a ball chain conveyor, including a first conveying layer and a second conveying layer, the first conveying layer is located above the second conveying layer, the outer walls of the first conveying layer and the second conveying layer are matched with a conveying frame, the interior of the first conveying layer is matched with a driving chain plate, the two ends of the driving chain plate are symmetrically provided with meshing first gears, the outer wall of the conveying frame is provided with a driving motor, the outer wall of the output shaft of the driving motor is provided with a second gear, and the second gear is movably connected to the first gear through the first chain. By setting the first conveying layer, the second conveying layer, the driving chain plate, the first gear, the second gear and the first chain, the utility model can conveniently and quickly control the conveying direction of the first conveying layer and the second conveying layer, thereby improving the applicability of this device. Through the support plate, conveyor belt, hydraulic cylinder and universal wheel, the goods can be automatically loaded, reducing the waste of manpower and material resources and improving work efficiency.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned ball chain conveyor still has the following defects:

[0005] When the drive chain on the conveyor is in contact with the conveyed objects for a long time, a large amount of dust, sugar, and other tiny dirt particles may adhere to the surface of the chain. These pollutants not only affect the smooth operation of the chain, but may also have an adverse effect on subsequent processes, such as contaminating the product, reducing production efficiency, or increasing maintenance costs. Therefore, we need an automatic cleaning mechanism to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide an automatic cleaning mechanism, which mainly allows the self-rotating component to drive the bead chain to rotate automatically when it moves to the cleaning position, thereby enhancing the contact area and frequency between the bead chain surface and the cleaning medium, helping to more thoroughly remove dust, sugar and other pollutants attached to the bead chain, significantly improving the cleaning effect, and combined with the adjustment function of the lifting component, the cleaning component can be accurately adjusted according to the height and position of the bead chain, realizing comprehensive cleaning without dead angles, avoiding the cleaning blind spots that may exist in traditional cleaning methods.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: an automatic cleaning mechanism, comprising a frame, a collecting bucket installed on one side of the top of the frame, a conveying assembly installed at the discharge port of the collecting bucket, a plurality of equidistantly installed bead chains provided on the surface of the conveying assembly, synchronous gears installed at both ends of the bead chain, a plurality of fixed brackets installed inside the frame, a rotating assembly for allowing the beads in the bead chain to rotate installed on the surface of one of the fixed brackets, the rotating assembly being installed at one end of the bead chain and fixed on one side surface of the frame, a cleaning assembly for cleaning the bead chain being provided below the rotating assembly, and a lifting assembly for allowing the cleaning assembly to move up and down being installed below the cleaning assembly.

[0008] Preferably, the self-rotating component includes a fixing part and a tooth plate, the bottom end of the fixing part is installed on the bottom end of one of the fixed brackets, one side of the fixing part is connected to the side wall of the tooth plate, and the teeth of the tooth plate are meshed with the synchronous gear. Due to the meshing connection between the tooth plate and the synchronous gear, the self-rotating component can drive the bead chain to achieve synchronous rotation, which not only ensures that each bead on the bead chain can be cleaned evenly, but also avoids uneven cleaning or increased wear between beads due to asynchronous rotation.

[0009] Preferably, the cleaning assembly includes a motor assembly, a bearing assembly and a roller brush, a brush cleaning roller is installed inside the roller brush, one end of the brush cleaning roller is rotatably connected to the bearing assembly, and the other end of the brush cleaning roller is connected to the motor assembly. The dense bristle design of the roller brush increases the contact area with the bead chain surface, thereby improving the cleaning effect. The bearing assembly serves as a connecting bridge between the roller brush and the motor, playing a role in supporting and reducing friction.

[0010] Preferably, mounting plates are installed on both sides of the brush cleaning roller, and the mounting plates are U-shaped. A brush water spray pipe for spraying the roller brush is installed on the inner wall of one side of the mounting plate. Both ends of the brush water spray pipe are connected to an upper water spray pipe for spraying the bead chain. The roller brush can be sprayed directly through the brush water spray pipe to ensure that the roller brush remains moist during the cleaning process, thereby more effectively removing stubborn stains and attachments on the surface of the bead chain. The moist roller brush bristles can increase the friction with the surface of the bead chain and improve the cleaning effect.

[0011] Preferably, the motor assembly includes a drive motor, the base of the drive motor is mounted on the inner wall of the mounting plate, and the output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the other end of the brush cleaning roller. Due to the direct connection between the drive motor and the brush cleaning roller, when the brush cleaning roller needs to be replaced or maintained, the operation can be performed more conveniently.

[0012] Preferably, the lifting assembly includes a lifting cylinder, a lifting guide rail and a slider. The base of the lifting cylinder is installed on the inner bottom end of the frame. The piston rod end of the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the slider. The top end of the slider is connected to one end of the mounting plate. The cooperation between the lifting guide rail and the slider ensures the stability of the mounting plate during the lifting process. The slider slides on the lifting guide rail to limit the lateral movement and shaking of the mounting plate, thereby ensuring the smoothness and accuracy of the lifting movement.

[0013] Preferably, a fixing plate is installed on the other side of the lifting guide rail, and the fixing plate is fixedly installed on the side wall of the frame. The inner wall of the slider is provided with a groove, and the inner wall of the groove is slidingly connected to the side wall of the lifting guide rail. The lifting guide rail is firmly installed on the side wall of the frame through the fixing plate, providing solid support for the entire lifting mechanism, reducing the shaking and deviation of the guide rail during the lifting process, and enhancing the stability of the entire structure.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] 1. The utility model mainly uses the self-rotating component to drive the bead chain to rotate automatically when it moves to the cleaning position, thereby enhancing the contact area and frequency between the bead chain surface and the cleaning medium, helping to more thoroughly remove pollutants such as dust and sugar attached to the bead chain, and significantly improving the cleaning effect. In addition, combined with the adjustment function of the lifting component, the cleaning component can be accurately adjusted according to the height and position of the bead chain to achieve comprehensive cleaning without dead angles, avoiding the cleaning blind spots that may exist in traditional cleaning methods.
