[0026] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only 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 efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] The cleaning assembly 3 includes a high-pressure cleaning pump 31, a cleaning nozzle 32, and a cleaning pipe 33. The high-pressure cleaning pump 31 is used to increase the water pressure in the water pipe. The water outlet of the high-pressure cleaning pump 31 is connected to the cleaning pipe 33, and the water inlet of the high-pressure cleaning pump 31 is connected to a water source. The water outlet of the cleaning pipe 33 is connected to the cleaning nozzle 32. The water outlet of the cleaning nozzle 32 is arranged in the induced draft fan cavity 1. The water inlet of the cleaning nozzle 32 is connected to the water outlet of the cleaning pipe 33. The cleaning nozzle 32 is used to atomize the high-pressure water in the cleaning pipe 33 and spray it out, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the induced draft fan cavity 1 and the impeller 2.

[0030] A guide hole 5 is provided at the bottom of the induced draft fan cavity 1, and the guide hole 5 is used to discharge sewage, waste liquid and impurities;

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the cleaning device disclosed in the embodiment of the utility model can quickly and thoroughly clean the dirt accumulated on the surface of the impeller 2 without manual labor and without disassembling the impeller 2, thereby extending the service life of the induced draft fan, reducing the maintenance cost and downtime of the equipment, and improving the overall production efficiency.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Improvements based on Example 1:

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in order to more comprehensively clean the induced draft fan cavity 1 and the impeller 2, a plurality of cleaning nozzles 32 are provided. The plurality of cleaning nozzles 32 are arranged in a row in the induced draft fan cavity 1. The plurality of cleaning nozzles 32 can clean the induced draft fan cavity 1 and the impeller 2 at more angles.

[0035] Furthermore, an inlet valve 34 is provided on the pure water pipe 4 at the front end of the high-pressure cleaning pump 31, and an outlet valve 35 is provided on the cleaning pipe 33. The inlet valve 34 and the outlet valve 35 are used to control the water flow in the cleaning pipe 33;

[0036] Furthermore, in order to save water and avoid wasting water resources, usually, the pure water pipe 4 is connected to the workshop to produce filtered pure water;

[0037] In another embodiment, a heating device 6 is provided on the cleaning pipe 33. The heating device can heat the water pressurized by the high-pressure cleaning pump 31. The boiling point of the pressurized water is increased. By increasing the temperature of the water sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 32, the oil stains can be better removed. In addition, the hot water sprayed onto the induced draft fan cavity 1 and the impeller 2 is more easily evaporated.

[0038] In another embodiment, in order to clean more thoroughly, a cleaning agent component 7 is provided on the induced draft fan cavity 1, and the cleaning agent component 7 is used to store and spray the cleaning agent;

[0039] Furthermore, the cleaning agent assembly 7 includes a cleaning agent nozzle 71, a cleaning agent container 72, and a cleaning agent valve 73. The cleaning agent container 72 is provided on the induced draft fan cavity 1, and the cleaning agent container 72 is connected to the cleaning agent nozzle 71. A cleaning agent valve 73 is provided between the cleaning agent nozzle 71 and the cleaning agent container 72, and the cleaning agent nozzle 71 is located near the cleaning nozzle 32; the cleaning agent container 72 is used to store cleaning agent, the cleaning agent nozzle 71 is used to spray cleaning agent, and the cleaning agent valve 73 is used to control the spray amount of cleaning agent; when cleaning is required, the cleaning agent valve 73 is opened, and the cleaning agent is sprayed from the cleaning agent nozzle 71 and sprayed onto the impeller 2. The impeller 2 rotates slowly, so that the cleaning agent covers the impeller 2 more comprehensively; the cleaning agent assembly 7 allows the cleaning agent to fully react with the oil and dirt on the impeller 2, which can better remove the dirt on the impeller 2.

[0040] In another embodiment, the automatic cleaning device is provided with a PLC module 8, which is used to control the start and stop of the high-pressure cleaning pump 31 as well as the inlet valve 34, the outlet valve 35, the heating device 6 and the cleaning agent valve 73. The PLC module 8 can set the automatic start and stop time. Under normal circumstances, the cleaning device is started once every 2 hours of operation of the induced draft fan, and the startup time is about 5 minutes; this makes the operation simpler and more practical, reduces the equipment maintenance time, thereby improving production capacity, and reduces the cost of manual maintenance.

[0041] The working principle of this utility model:

[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, under normal circumstances, the cleaning device performs a preliminary flushing every 2 hours of operation of the induced draft fan; for the preliminary flushing, the PLC module 8 first controls the opening of the inlet valve 34 and the outlet valve 35, and simultaneously turns on the high-pressure cleaning pump 31 and the heating device 6. The water pressurized and heated by the high-pressure cleaning pump 31 and the heating device 6 is ejected from the cleaning nozzle 32 to perform a preliminary flushing on the impeller 2 to remove dirt on the impeller 2. The dirt and wastewater flow into the guide hole 5 under the influence of centrifugal force and gravity and are then discharged; the running time of a preliminary flushing is about 5 minutes.

[0043] In order to deeply clean the induced draft fan, the PLC module 8 controls the cleaning device to perform a deep cleaning on the induced draft fan every 12 hours of operation. After the initial flushing is completed, the cleaning agent valve 73 is opened to allow the cleaning agent nozzle 71 to spray the cleaning agent onto the impeller 2. After the spraying is completed, the cleaning agent valve 73 is closed. The induced draft fan impeller 2 is left to stand for 2 minutes to allow the cleaning agent to fully react with the oil and dirt on the impeller 2, and then a preliminary flush is performed again to make the cleaning more thorough. The deep cleaning time is about ten minutes.

[0044] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles and wiring methods of the heating device 6 and the PLC module 8 are commonplace and are conventional means or common knowledge, and will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0045] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.

[0046] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
