[0028] Example 1

[0029] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1-3 A multifunctional cleaning device includes a cleaning tank 1 with an opening in the shape of a slight arc. The objects to be cleaned are generally shellfish or small hard objects placed in the cleaning tank 1. Because the cleaning tank 1 is in the shape of a slight arc, on the one hand, the cleaning brush can clean the objects to be cleaned along the arc surface of the cleaning tank 1, and on the other hand, after a long period of use, the shape of the cleaning tank 1 is also more convenient for cleaning and maintenance.

[0030] The cleaning pool 1 is also equipped with a cleaning brush. The cleaning brush can approach or move away from the object to be cleaned. By applying a certain pressure and utilizing the friction between the bristles 3 on the main body 2 of the cleaning brush and the object to be cleaned, the object is cleaned.

[0031] The cleaning brush relies on the lifting component 4 to move the bristles 3 closer to or further away from the object to be cleaned and to apply a certain pressure to the object. The lifting component 4 is existing technology and can generally be a series of mechanical structures that can achieve a certain displacement, such as electric actuators, hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders and threaded screws. The certain displacement generated by the lifting component 4 drives the cleaning brush to move closer to or further away from the object to be cleaned.

[0032] When the cleaning brush approaches or moves away from the object to be cleaned, a sliding groove 11 is provided on the support frame 5, which is set on the cleaning pool 1 to support the lifting component 4. The cleaning brush is limited to moving only along the predetermined direction of the sliding groove 11 by the sliders 12 set at both ends and inserted into the sliding groove 11.

[0033] The cleaning tank 1 is also equipped with a swing structure that works in conjunction with the cleaning brush. The swing structure swings the object to be cleaned along the cleaning path of the cleaning brush, thereby simulating the cleaning action in reality and achieving a better cleaning effect.

[0034] The swing structure includes an arc-shaped plate 6 for limiting the object to be cleaned, a limiting groove 7 for accommodating the object to be cleaned, and a stop bar 8 for assisting in driving the object to be cleaned in the limiting groove 7. The arc-shaped plate 6 has the same radius and axis as the cleaning pool 1. By accommodating the object to be cleaned in the limiting groove 7 and separating the object to be cleaned in the limiting groove 7 with the stop bar 8, the object to be cleaned can swing with the arc-shaped plate 6 during the swinging process, thereby achieving further contact and cleaning between the object to be cleaned and the cleaning brush.

[0035] The sidewalls of the limiting groove 7 are inclined. In the cross section perpendicular to the cleaning path of the cleaning brush, the sidewalls on both sides of the limiting groove 7 are inclined towards both ends of the cleaning pool 1 and their cross section is in the shape of a right trapezoid. The inclined sidewalls are designed to better transfer the object to be cleaned into the limiting groove 7 during the transverse movement of the arc plate 6.

[0036] The swing structure also includes hinge plates 9, which are hinged to the ends of the arc plate 6 extending out of the washing pool 1 on both sides of the arc plate 6, and a drive cylinder 10 for driving the hinge plates 9 to move horizontally up and down. The output end of the drive cylinder 10 is vertically arranged with the hinge plate 9, and the output end of the drive cylinder 10 is slidably connected to the hinge plate 9. An auxiliary groove 13 with a spacing smaller than that of the output end of the drive cylinder 10 can be opened on the hinge plate 9. A drive shaft 14 is provided on the output end of the drive cylinder 10 and is inserted into the auxiliary groove 13. At the same time, a blocking block 15 is provided on the side of the hinge plate 9 away from the drive cylinder 10 and is bolted to the drive shaft 14. Under the combined action of the blocking block 15, the drive shaft 14 and the auxiliary groove 13, the hinge plate 9 can move horizontally left and right while moving up and down.

[0037] It also includes a lateral movement structure for driving the swaying structure to move laterally. The lateral movement structure includes a guide rail 16 fixedly connected to the cleaning tank 1 and a locking block 17 mounted on the guide rail 16. The locking block 17 is slidably connected to the guide rail 16 and also carries the drive cylinder 10. It can drive the drive cylinder 10 to move laterally under the action of the guide rail 16. A bearing 18 is also rotatably connected inside the locking block 17, which can make the locking block 17 move better along the guide rail 16.

[0038] The locking block 17 can be concave, with its concave opening facing the guide rail 16 and the guide rail 16 located inside the concave opening of the locking block 17. The drive cylinder 10 is mounted on the locking block 17, and the drive cylinder 10 will move synchronously during the movement of the locking block 17. The bearing 18 is set inside the locking block 17 and is rotatably connected to the locking block 17. In order to better bear external forces, the bearings 18 are evenly distributed on the upper and lower sides of the guide rail 16. On the one hand, the bearings 18 on both sides can prevent the locking block 17 from disengaging from the guide rail 16 during movement, and on the other hand, the bearing 18 on the upper side can also distribute the pressure it bears.

[0039] To better withstand stress, bearing 18 is generally selected as an angular contact ball bearing or a tapered roller bearing.

[0040] When this utility model is in use, a certain amount of small objects to be cleaned are placed in the cleaning pool 1, the arc plate 6 is located on one side inside the cleaning pool 1, some of the small objects to be cleaned are located in the limiting groove 7, and the baffle 8 separates and blocks the small objects to be cleaned located in the limiting groove 7.

[0041] When cleaning, the lifting component 4 drives the cleaning brush to move downward, so that the bristles 3 on the cleaning brush move closer to the object to be cleaned. When the bristles 3 on the cleaning brush apply a certain pressure to the object to be cleaned, the drive cylinders 10 on both sides start in opposite directions, causing the arc plate 6 to swing, thereby simulating manual cleaning of the object to be cleaned.

[0042] After a period of cleaning, the transverse structure is activated, causing the arc plate 6 to move. Under the action of the side wall of the limiting groove 7, small objects to be cleaned in the cleaning pool 1 can enter the limiting groove 7 better, and are cleaned under the action of the baffle 8 and the limiting groove 7.

[0043] This invention uses an added swing structure to simulate the manual cleaning operation of the object to be cleaned. This allows for better and faster cleaning of the object, while reducing manual labor and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0044] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
