[0022] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a cleaning spray device with automatic lifting function includes a cleaning chamber 6, and the cleaning spray device includes a spray system, a lifting mechanism, and a control system;

[0024] The cleaning chamber 6 is provided with a plurality of fixed nozzles 7; one or more fixed nozzles 7 are connected to a water pump via a water pipe connected in series with a solenoid valve;

[0025] The spray system includes a rotating cleaning ball 9, which is connected to a water pump via a water pipeline;

[0026] The lifting mechanism includes a lifting guide sleeve 1 and a lifter; the lifting guide sleeve 1 is mounted on the top of the cleaning chamber 6; the lifter reciprocates along the lifting guide sleeve 1; the lifter is provided with a hollow lifting rod 3 and a lifting guide tube 4. Preferably, the lifter model is TZNDS60, and the rotary cleaning ball model is B18250A-316SS21-316SS.

[0027] The control system is provided with a controller, a sensor, a storage unit and a communication interface. The storage unit is used to store the numbers of different hoppers 8 to be cleaned, as well as the corresponding volumes, the height range of the rotating cleaning ball, the position of the fixed nozzle to be opened, the cleaning spray water pressure and other information.

[0028] The communication interface is used to achieve integration and data exchange with other systems. Preferably, the device can transmit barrel information and corresponding preset formula data to other systems or devices through communication methods such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or wired connection to facilitate further processing or analysis.

[0029] The water supply pipeline includes a cleaning ball connecting pipe 11, the lower end of the cleaning ball connecting pipe 11 is connected to the rotating cleaning ball 9, and the upper end is connected to the hollow lifting rod 3; a joint 2 is installed on the top of the hollow lifting rod 3, and the joint 2 is connected to the water pump through a hose 5.

[0030] The controller is connected to the water pump, solenoid valve, sensor, and lifting mechanism through control cables; the controller is also connected to a communication interface. The controller used in this application is a Siemens programmable controller 6ES7214-1AG40-0XB0.

[0031] The sensor includes a feature code scanning sensor installed inside the cleaning chamber 6 and a height detection sensor installed on the lifter. Preferably, the feature code recognized by the feature code scanning sensor is a two-dimensional code, and the SR-1000 model autofocus 1D / 2D barcode reader produced by Keyence can be used, and the height detection sensor can use the EI38S6-100-CR30Y3 model encoder produced by Huichuan Company. The controller detects the type of hopper 8 to be cleaned through the feature code scanning sensor, and obtains the height of the rotating cleaning ball 9 in real time through the height detection sensor. When the lifter automatically drives the rotating cleaning ball 9 to rise and fall to a height suitable for cleaning the hopper 8 to be cleaned, after reaching the appropriate height, the rotating cleaning ball 9 can perform the cleaning spraying work. The controller can also set the water pressure of the cleaning spray, specifically by controlling the opening of the solenoid valve to ensure the effect of the cleaning spray.

[0032] The hollow lifting rod 3 and the cleaning ball connecting pipe 11 , as well as the cleaning ball connecting pipe 11 and the rotating cleaning ball 9 , are connected to each other via a clamp assembly 10 .

[0033] The automatic lifting cleaning spray device rises to the highest point when it is not in operation. When cleaning is required, the hopper 8 to be cleaned is placed in the cleaning chamber 6 and the characteristic code (for example, a QR code can be used) on the hopper to be cleaned is aligned with the characteristic code scanning sensor. The characteristic code scanning sensor sends the scanned characteristic code to the controller end; the controller finds the capacity, height and other information of the hopper 8 to be cleaned corresponding to the characteristic code from the storage unit, and then determines how many fixed nozzles are needed to spray water when cleaning the hopper, which fixed nozzles are spraying water, and within which height range the rotating cleaning ball 9 should move back and forth. After cleaning starts, the rotating cleaning ball 9 of the automatic lifting cleaning spray device is controlled by the lifter and descends to a position suitable for cleaning, and then performs cleaning spraying. After cleaning is completed, the rotating cleaning ball 9 is lifted to the highest point and waits for the next cleaning spraying work.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the system shown, the cleaning chamber 6 is relatively large, facilitating the internal cleaning of hoppers of varying sizes. Multiple fixed nozzles 7 are located at various locations along the inner wall of the cleaning chamber 6. A lift is mounted on the top of the cleaning chamber 6. When the hopper 8 to be cleaned enters the cleaning chamber 6 and reaches a predetermined position, a signature code is detected and subsequently captured by the controller. After retrieving the cleaning solution corresponding to that hopper model from the storage unit, the controller controls the specific fixed nozzle 7 to spray water, precisely aligning it with the surface of the object being cleaned. At this point, the spray system generates a high-pressure water stream, which is evenly sprayed onto the surface of the object being cleaned through the fixed nozzle 7, thereby removing surface dirt and impurities. Simultaneously, the rotating cleaning ball 9 is raised to the appropriate position using a lifting mechanism and a height detection sensor. It then begins spraying water and moves back and forth vertically near the appropriate position, removing impurities from the interior of the hopper being cleaned.
