[0026] The embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present disclosure. The illustrations only show components related to the present disclosure and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component can be changed at will, and the component layout type may also be more complicated.

[0028] Additionally, in the following description, specific details are provided to provide a thorough understanding of the examples. However, one skilled in the art will appreciate that the aspects described can be practiced without these specific details.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a cleaning device for producing bicycle accessories of the present application includes a cleaning tank 1, a high-pressure nozzle 2, a filter 3, a detachable connecting joint 4 and a pressure regulating valve 5.

[0030] The cleaning tank 1 is the main container of the device, containing the cleaning fluid and providing a soaking and pre-treatment environment for bicycle parts. It is typically constructed of corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel or polypropylene, to accommodate various cleaning fluids. A fixed structure within the tank ensures that the bicycle parts being cleaned are stably positioned and prevent them from moving or colliding during the cleaning process.

[0031] A high-pressure nozzle 2 is installed within the cleaning tank 1. Its function is to apply high-pressure cleaning fluid to bicycle parts, effectively removing stubborn surface dirt. The nozzle 2 typically consists of multiple fine nozzles 6, which evenly cover different parts of the bicycle parts. These nozzles 6 are often made of wear-resistant materials to ensure that the spraying effect is maintained even after long-term use. The nozzle 2 is connected to an external cleaning fluid supply pump via a hose, ensuring a continuous and stable supply of cleaning fluid.

[0032] Filter 3 is installed in the pipeline between the external cleaning fluid supply pump and the high-pressure nozzle 2. It is used to filter impurities from the cleaning fluid, ensuring that the discharged cleaning fluid is clean and contaminant-free. The main body of filter 3 is generally cylindrical, with multiple layers of filter screens installed inside. The filter screens can be made of different fineness materials such as paper, cellulose, or nylon, depending on the type of cleaning fluid. The inlet and outlet of filter 3 are designed with quick-connect devices to facilitate regular cleaning and replacement of the filter element to ensure effective filtration.

[0033] The detachable connector 4, located at the hose interface between the high-pressure nozzle 2 and the supply pump, connects the two. The design of the detachable connector 4 takes into account the need for regular disassembly and maintenance, thus adopting a quick-connect design. This design not only reduces the time and workload during disassembly and assembly, but also effectively prevents leakage at the connection, improving the stability of the entire system.

[0034] The pressure regulating valve 5, installed on the pipeline between the high-pressure nozzle 2 and the filter 3, regulates and maintains the operating pressure of the high-pressure nozzle 2. The pressure regulating valve 5 can adjust the cleaning fluid pressure manually or automatically, depending on the specific cleaning requirements. Manual regulating valves feature a knob that allows the operator to precisely control the pressure. Automatic regulating valves, on the other hand, are equipped with sensors and control systems that automatically monitor and adjust the pressure to ensure it remains within a preset range, preventing pressure fluctuations that could lead to unstable cleaning results or damage to the equipment.

[0035] In one embodiment, a high-pressure nozzle 2 of a cleaning device for producing bicycle accessories of the present application is internally designed with multiple nozzle 6 holes for installing alternative nozzles 6 of different specifications. Such a design makes it possible to quickly and easily adjust the working parameters of the equipment when faced with diverse cleaning tasks, thereby effectively dealing with different degrees and types of stains and contamination. By rationally utilizing different nozzles 6, not only can the cleaning efficiency and effect be improved, but the risk of nozzle blockage caused by the use of inappropriate nozzles 6 can also be avoided, maintaining the consistency and stability of the water spray pressure during the entire operation of the equipment. In addition, such a flexible configuration further reduces the limitations of the equipment caused by a single fixed configuration, making its application more extensive.

[0036] Specifically, nozzles 6 of various specifications can be designed with threaded connections or similar easily removable features that fit into corresponding holes in the high-pressure nozzle 2, allowing for easy replacement based on actual needs. This ensures the optimal combination for each use, greatly facilitating the workflow of frontline operators and increasing the adaptability of cleaning operations. This method of nozzle replacement also effectively prevents the problem of fine particles becoming stuck under high pressure, extending the service life of the equipment while also better protecting the cleaning object from secondary damage.

[0037] In one embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, a cleaning device for bicycle parts manufacturing in this application incorporates a dual filter screen 7 within the filter 3: a coarse mesh layer blocks large impurities, while a fine mesh layer captures microscopic particles. This dual filtration design ensures the high purity of the cleaning fluid supplied to the high-pressure nozzle 2, effectively reducing the risk of nozzle 6 clogging. The dual filter screen 7 not only improves filtration efficiency but also extends the life of the entire cleaning device, increasing production efficiency.

[0038] The installation position and structural design of the dual filter 7 are crucial. The filter 3 is equipped with two parallel filter layers: a coarse mesh layer near the water inlet and a fine mesh layer farther away. The pore size of the filter layer near the water inlet is larger than that of the filter layer farther away. The coarse mesh is made of a larger pore material, such as wire or synthetic fiber, and is primarily used to block larger impurities. The fine mesh is made of a smaller pore material, such as microporous plastic or fine fiber, and is used to capture suspended microparticles. A certain distance is maintained between the two filter layers to facilitate smooth water flow and adequate filtration.

[0039] For example, two filter layers can be supported by a fixed frame inside the filter 3, and the frame is usually fixed to the inner wall of the shell of the filter 3 to ensure the stability of the filter. Specifically, the filter layer can be fixed to the frame by means of clips, bolts or pressure plates, so as to facilitate regular disassembly and cleaning. In addition, the water inlet and outlet of the filter 3 also need to be reasonably designed to ensure the stability of the water flow and maximize the filtering effect. For example, a detection sensor can be set at the water outlet of the filter 3 to monitor the purity of the cleaning fluid in real time and automatically trigger the cleaning program when necessary.

[0040] In one embodiment, a cleaning device for bicycle accessories manufactured in the present application includes a cleaning fluid supply pump, specifically configured with an anti-reverse valve 8. This anti-reverse valve 8 effectively prevents backflow of cleaning fluid during equipment shutdown or sudden power outages, thereby ensuring smooth flow of cleaning fluid within the system along the set flow direction, helping to maintain the system's normal operating pressure, and effectively reducing pipe blockages. Specifically, if the equipment unexpectedly stops operating, the anti-reverse valve 8, through its unique design, automatically closes within a short period of time, preventing cleaning fluid already delivered to the system from flowing back into the supply pump. This not only maintains system stability but also facilitates restarting the system.

[0041] To achieve this technical feature, an anti-reverse valve 8 is typically installed downstream of the cleaning fluid supply pump outlet. For example, a butterfly valve or one-way valve design can be employed in the piping system. This arrangement ensures that the cleaning fluid flows smoothly through the piping to the various components of the cleaning apparatus during normal operation, while also enabling rapid response during shutdown to prevent reverse flow of the fluid, thereby ensuring the stability and continuity of the entire cleaning process.

[0042] In one embodiment, a bicycle accessory cleaning device manufactured in the present application incorporates a metal reinforcement ring 9 at the junction of its hose and detachable connector 4. This design not only improves the wear and aging resistance of the junction but also significantly extends the life of the cleaning device. By strengthening the connection between the hose and the detachable connector 4, this design effectively reduces the likelihood of nozzle clogging due to interface damage, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the cleaning device during long-term operation.

[0043] For example, the metal reinforcement ring 9 is an annular metal component, typically made of stainless steel or aluminum alloy with excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. The metal reinforcement ring 9 is fitted over the junction of the hose and the detachable connector 4 and secured by an interference fit or other fastening means. This installation method not only improves the overall stability of the connection but also provides additional support when the external environment changes (such as temperature and humidity), further extending the service life of the equipment. Furthermore, the surface of the metal reinforcement ring 9 is specially treated to enhance its wear resistance and corrosion resistance.

[0044] In one embodiment, to implement the above features, the metal reinforcement ring 9 can be pre-installed on the detachable connector 4 on the production line before being assembled with the hose. This ensures that the metal reinforcement ring 9 is installed at every joint during the assembly process, improving assembly efficiency and ensuring consistent product quality. Alternatively, the metal reinforcement ring 9 can be manually installed at the assembly site at the joint between the hose and the connector, and then further secured with a clamp or other fastener to ensure a secure and reliable fit.

[0045] In one embodiment, the design of the cleaning tank 1 in a bicycle parts production cleaning device of the present application fully considers the requirements of its internal structure and function to improve the device's cleaning efficiency and prevent contaminants from clogging the injection system. A key feature of the device is the sloped bottom design of the cleaning tank 1. This design not only facilitates the collection and discharge of impurities, but also ensures smooth water flow within the cleaning tank 1, thereby reducing the chance of residue accumulation within the tank. By optimizing the sloped structure of the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 and the positional relationship between the sewage outlet, the device of the present application can effectively remove impurities not absorbed by the bicycle parts, reducing the impact of these impurities on the entire system.

[0046] Specifically, the highest point of the sloped drainage bottom surface 10 is located near the water inlet of the cleaning tank 1 (i.e., the location of the high-pressure nozzle 2), while the lowest point is located near the sewage outlet. This design allows impurities not absorbed by the bicycle accessories to naturally flow along the slope to the lowest point under the influence of the water flow during the flushing process, and then be discharged from the sewage outlet. Due to the rational design of the slope and the location of the sewage outlet, there is almost no accumulation of water or scale at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1, which greatly reduces the risk of clogging of the spray system and ensures the long-term stable operation of the system.

[0047] To technically implement this feature, a steel plate with a moderate inclination can be used as the material for the sloped drainage bottom surface 10. The slope angle is generally set between 3° and 5°, which can ensure the effective drainage of impurities while not affecting the water flow distribution during the cleaning process. In addition, a filter or grille can be installed at the sewage outlet to further intercept larger particles of impurities, ensuring their smooth discharge and preventing the injection system from being blocked by foreign matter and affecting normal operation.

[0048] In one embodiment, a cleaning device for bicycle parts production in the present application is provided with a pipeline between an external cleaning liquid supply pump and a cleaning tank 1, and an auxiliary circulation pump 11 is added to this pipeline. The function of the auxiliary circulation pump 11 is to activate and help the cleaning liquid in the pipeline continue to flow when the equipment is not in operation or during regular maintenance. In this way, the gradual accumulation of dirt and the formation of blockages in the pipe caused by the cleaning liquid being stationary for a long time can be avoided, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the cleaning system and reducing the number of downtimes for maintenance. This improvement not only improves the operating reliability of the system, but also extends the overall service life of the device.

[0049] For example, in practical applications, to effectively integrate the functions of auxiliary circulation pump 11 and ensure its activation when necessary, the pump can be designed as a standalone module with a programmable logic control system. If the equipment is out of service for a predetermined time, the control system automatically activates auxiliary circulation pump 11, allowing liquid to continue flowing within the pipeline for a predetermined period until the cleaning requirements are met, and then stops. This ensures that any remaining particles or impurities do not accumulate and harden into scale in curved sections of the pipeline. This prevents the occurrence of stain fixation even when the cleaning equipment is out of service.

[0050] In one embodiment, Figure 4As shown, the present invention discloses a cleaning device for bicycle parts designed to address common unforeseen obstacles during the cleaning process, such as scale deposits. The device incorporates specially designed, disposable, replaceable scale inhibitors 12 installed on the supply pipe at key locations (e.g., bends). These inhibitors 12 can be easily replaced after a certain period of use, ensuring uninterrupted and efficient operation of the entire cleaning system. In this way, the present invention effectively improves the reliability and service life of the cleaning device.

[0051] Specifically, the scale inhibition element 12 is designed to prevent the formation of scale and other dirt inside the supply pipe, which will gradually accumulate and affect the cleaning effect. The scale inhibition element 12 is usually made of a polymer material or a metal material with the ability to inhibit scale formation. These materials can effectively prevent scale from being deposited on the inner wall of the pipe, extend the cleaning cycle of the pipe, and reduce the frequency and cost of maintenance. When replacement is required, the scale inhibition element 12 can be connected to the pipe through a quick connector or other easy-to-operate connection method, so that the user can replace it by himself without the need for complex tools and professional skills. For example, the installation and removal of the scale inhibition element 12 can be achieved by tightening or snap-on connection methods, which not only improves the convenience of operation, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the system.

[0052] During actual operation, when this device is used, the bicycle accessories are first placed in the cleaning tank 1, which is pre-filled with appropriate cleaning liquid for preliminary soaking pretreatment of the bicycle accessories. At this stage, the cleaning liquid can penetrate the oil stains, dust and other pollutants on the surface and in the gaps of the accessories, making the subsequent cleaning steps more efficient. After the predetermined soaking time is reached, the high-pressure nozzle 2 starts working. The nozzle is installed inside the cleaning tank 1, receives the high-pressure water flow through a hose connected to the external cleaning liquid supply pump, and accurately aligns with the parts that need deep cleaning, flushing stubborn dirt with high-intensity water flow to achieve a fast and thorough cleaning effect. During the entire high-pressure spraying process, the filter 3 plays a vital role. It is arranged between the cleaning liquid supply pump and the high-pressure nozzle 2, effectively intercepting tiny particles or other impurities from the water source, preventing these substances from entering the nozzle with the water flow and causing blockage, affecting the cleaning quality and the service life of the equipment.

[0053] At the same time, to avoid problems such as reduced work efficiency or equipment damage caused by unstable system pressure, the device also integrates a pressure regulating valve 5 in the pipeline between the external cleaning liquid supply pump and the filter 3. This valve can set a safe and appropriate operating pressure range according to actual needs. When the pressure in the pipeline is detected to be too high or too low, the valve opening can be automatically or manually adjusted to ensure that the entire high-pressure water spraying system can operate at a constant and reasonable state, thereby maintaining a stable water flow output intensity, achieving the best high-pressure cleaning effect, and providing reliable protection for the safe operation of the equipment.

[0054] In addition, the design of the detachable connecting joint 4 greatly improves the maintainability of the equipment, allowing technicians to easily disassemble and clean the high-pressure nozzle 2 and check the status of the filter 3, promptly discover and eliminate fault points, ensure long-term stable and efficient operation of the device, and extend its service life.

[0055] The specific implementation methods described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific implementation method of the embodiments of the present disclosure and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
