Ultrasonic cleaning machine for impurity removal of silicone tube

Abstract

The utility model provides an ultrasonic cleaning machine for impurity removal of a silicone tube. An ultrasonic cleaning machine for impurity removal of a silicone tube comprises a cleaning box, a hopper, a V-shaped plate and the like. A hopper is arranged on the left of the upper side of the cleaning box. A plurality of V-shaped plates are installed on the inner side of the cleaning box, an opening of the upper V-shaped plate faces leftwards, and an opening of the lower V-shaped plate faces rightwards. Due to the fact that the filter screen is obliquely arranged and the silicone tube is cylindrical, the silicone tube rolls from left to right on the filter screen above the silicone tube, in the rolling process of the silicone tube, the silicone tube makes contact with the arc-shaped strip and crosses the arc-shaped strip to fall on the filter screen again, and under the action of the arc-shaped strip, the rolling silicone tube jolts and falls off the filter screen again. Therefore, the silicone tube achieves a muddy effect in the cleaning liquid, impurities attached to the surface of the silicone tube can be cleaned away more easily, and meanwhile impurities accumulated at the inner bottom of the silicone tube can be discharged more easily.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicone tube cleaning technology, and in particular to an ultrasonic cleaning machine for removing impurities from silicone tubes. Background Technology

[0002] Medical silicone tubing is a type of tubing used in medical applications. It is made from imported silicone rubber and can have a minimum inner diameter of 0.4 mm. Having passed biocompatibility tests, it exhibits minimal reaction to human tissue and does not cause foreign body reactions after implantation. Therefore, it is finding increasingly widespread use in the medical and healthcare fields.

[0003] Medical silicone tubing is often cleaned using an ultrasonic cleaner. However, in the current technology, silicone tubing is usually cleaned in a static and piled-up state. This will result in incomplete cleaning of the silicone tubing, increase the cleaning time, and make it difficult to remove impurities from the silicone tubing, thereby reducing the cleaning effect.

[0004] Furthermore, in existing technologies, after the silicone tube is cleaned, the machine needs to be stopped and the silicone tube removed, which greatly reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of traditional silicone tube cleaning methods, which typically involve cleaning silicone tubes while they are stationary and piled up, resulting in incomplete cleaning, increased cleaning time, and difficulty in removing impurities, thus reducing the cleaning effect, this invention provides an ultrasonic cleaning machine for removing impurities from silicone tubes.

[0006] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows: an ultrasonic cleaning machine for removing impurities from silicone tubes, including a cleaning box and a hopper; the hopper is provided on the upper left side of the cleaning box; it also includes V-shaped plates, filter screens and arc-shaped strips; several V-shaped plates are installed inside the cleaning box, with the upper V-shaped plates opening to the left and the lower V-shaped plates opening to the right; a filter screen is fixedly connected to the upper side of each V-shaped plate, and the filter screens are inclined; several arc-shaped strips are fixedly connected to the upper side of each V-shaped plate, and the arc-shaped strips are located above the filter screens.

[0007] More preferably, it also includes an electric impeller; an electric impeller for turning the silicone tube is rotatably connected to the upper rear side of the cleaning tank.

[0008] More preferably, it also includes an L-shaped tube and air tubes; the L-shaped tube is fixedly connected inside the cleaning box; and several air tubes are provided on the lower front side of the L-shaped tube.

[0009] More preferably, it also includes a limiting plate and a collection frame; a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inner side of the cleaning box, and the limiting plate is in contact with the V-shaped plate; a through groove is opened on each limiting plate; a collection frame for collecting impurities is fixedly connected to each limiting plate.

[0010] More preferably, it also includes a first conveyor belt, a second conveyor belt, and baffles; a first conveyor belt for conveying the cleaned silicone tubes is installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank; a second conveyor belt is installed on the right side of the cleaning tank, and the second conveyor belt is inclined; several baffles are fixedly connected to the second conveyor belt.

[0011] More preferably, the second conveyor belt is configured as a mesh.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Since the filter screen is set at an angle and the silicone tube is cylindrical, the silicone tube will roll from left to right on the filter screen above. During the rolling process, the silicone tube will come into contact with the arc strip and fall back onto the filter screen after passing over the arc strip. In this way, under the action of the arc strip, the rolling silicone tube will be bumpy, thereby making the silicone tube achieve a turbulent effect in the cleaning solution, which makes it easier to clean the impurities attached to the surface of the silicone tube, and at the same time, it makes it easier to discharge the impurities accumulated at the bottom of the silicone tube.

[0013] Thus, through the aforementioned feeding method of the silicone tube, and with the cooperation of the filter screen and the arc-shaped strip, the silicone tube is cleaned in a dispersed and rolling state, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect. This avoids the situation in the prior art where the silicone tube is usually cleaned in a static and piled-up state, which would result in incomplete cleaning of the silicone tube, increase the cleaning time, and make it difficult to remove impurities from the silicone tube, thereby reducing the cleaning effect of the silicone tube.

[0014] The silicone tube is moved by an electric impeller, changing it from a vertical to a straight position, as shown in the figure, thereby further expelling the impurities accumulated inside the silicone tube.

[0015] The first and second conveyor belts enable continuous processing of silicone tubes, avoiding the need for workers to stop the machine and remove the silicone tubes after cleaning, which is a significant reduction in work efficiency in existing technologies. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will now be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which presently preferred embodiments of the invention are shown. However, the present invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided for thoroughness and completeness and to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] An ultrasonic cleaner for removing impurities from silicone tubes, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, it includes a cleaning tank 1 and a hopper 2; the upper left side of the cleaning tank 1 is fixedly connected to and connected to the hopper 2;

[0026] It also includes V-shaped plates 3, filter screens 4, and arc-shaped strips 5; several V-shaped plates 3 are installed inside the cleaning tank 1, with the upper V-shaped plate 3 opening to the left and the lower V-shaped plate 3 opening to the right; each V-shaped plate 3 is fixedly connected to a filter screen 4 on its upper side, and the filter screen 4 is set at an angle; each V-shaped plate 3 is fixedly connected to a number of eight arc-shaped strips 5 that are equidistant from left to right, and the arc-shaped strips 5 are located above the filter screen 4.

[0027] It also includes an electric impeller; an electric impeller for turning the silicone tube is rotatably connected to the upper rear side of the cleaning tank 1.

[0028] It also includes an L-shaped tube 7 and an air tube 8; the L-shaped tube 7 is fixedly connected inside the cleaning box 1; the lower front side of the L-shaped tube 7 is provided with a number of six air tubes 8 that are equidistantly distributed from left to right.

[0029] It also includes a limiting plate 9 and a collection frame 10; a limiting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the inner side of the cleaning box 1, and the limiting plate 9 is in contact with the V-shaped plate 3; a through groove 91 is opened on each limiting plate 9; a collection frame 10 for collecting impurities is fixedly connected to each limiting plate 9.

[0030] It also includes a first conveyor belt 11, a second conveyor belt 12, and baffles 13; the lower part of the cleaning tank 1 is equipped with a first conveyor belt 11 for conveying the cleaned silicone tubes; the right side of the cleaning tank 1 is equipped with a second conveyor belt 12, and the second conveyor belt 12 is inclined; a number of at least twenty baffles 13 are fixedly connected to the second conveyor belt 12 in a track-like equidistant distribution.

[0031] The second conveyor belt 12 is configured with a mesh to prevent the second conveyor belt 12 from carrying out the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 1 when it is conveying the cleaned silicone tube.

[0032] When using this ultrasonic cleaner for removing impurities from silicone tubes, firstly, the cleaning tank 1 is filled with cleaning fluid, and the liquid level of the cleaning fluid is higher than the V-shaped plate 3 above. The hopper 2 is connected to the external feeding device, and the L-shaped tube 7 is connected to the external pump.

[0033] Next, the staff vertically conveys the silicone tubes to be cleaned into hopper 2 via an external feeding device. The silicone tubes then fall into cleaning tank 1 through hopper 2. During this process, cleaning tank 1 operates simultaneously, and the cleaning solution within it ultrasonically cleans the silicone tubes. The silicone tubes then fall onto the upper filter screen 4. Because filter screen 4 is inclined and the silicone tubes are cylindrical, they roll from left to right on the filter screen 4. During this rolling motion, the silicone tubes come into contact with the curved strip 5, pass over it, and fall back onto filter screen 4. The curved strip 5 causes the rolling silicone tubes to vibrate, creating a turbulent effect in the cleaning solution, thereby removing impurities adhering to the surface of the silicone tubes. It is easier to clean, and it also makes it easier to remove impurities accumulated at the bottom of the silicone tube. Thus, through the above-mentioned feeding method of the silicone tube, and with the cooperation of the filter screen 4 and the arc strip 5, the silicone tube is cleaned in a dispersed and rolling state, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect. This avoids the situation in the prior art where the silicone tube is usually cleaned in a static and piled state, which would result in incomplete cleaning of the silicone tube and increase the cleaning time. At the same time, it is difficult to remove impurities from the silicone tube, thereby reducing the cleaning effect of the silicone tube. It should be noted that the cleaned impurities will fall through the filter screen 4 onto the V-shaped plate 3 and slide down the surface of the V-shaped plate 3. The sliding impurities will enter the collection frame 10 through the channel 91 and be collected.

[0034] Meanwhile, as the silicone tube rolls on the upper filter screen 4, the electric impeller rotates counterclockwise, based on a left-to-right view. This causes the silicone tube to detach from the upper V-shaped plate 3, and the rear end of the silicone tube contacts the electric impeller. The electric impeller then moves the silicone tube, changing it from a vertical to a straight position. Figure 6 As shown, this process further removes impurities accumulated inside the silicone tube. Then, under its own weight, the silicone tube will come into contact with the filter screen 4 below. The silicone tube will then be supported on the filter screen 4 in a horizontal position. At this time, in order to make the silicone tube roll better on the filter screen 4, the external pump is controlled to deliver gas into the L-shaped tube 7. The gas will then be blown forward through the air pipe 8, causing the cleaning liquid to form a water column. The water column will push the silicone tube, changing it from a horizontal to a vertical position. This allows the silicone tube to roll better on the filter screen 4 below, thus ensuring the cleaning effect of the silicone tube. It also avoids the problem of the silicone tube accumulating on the filter screen 4 because it is not easy to slide on the filter screen 4 in a horizontal position. In this way, the cleaning of the silicone tube can be completed.

[0035] Then, the cleaned silicone tube will fall onto the first conveyor belt 11. At this time, the first conveyor belt 11 is controlled to move the silicone tube to the right, and then the silicone tube will be transported to the second conveyor belt 12. During this process, the second conveyor belt 12 is controlled to work simultaneously. Since the second conveyor belt 12 is set at an incline, the silicone tube falling onto the second conveyor belt 12 will be blocked by the baffle 13, thereby preventing the silicone tube from sliding down on the second conveyor belt 12. Subsequently, the cleaned silicone tube will be transported by the second conveyor belt 12 to the external equipment box for collection. In this way, under the action of the first conveyor belt 11 and the second conveyor belt 12, the silicone tube can be continuously processed, avoiding the need for operators to stop the machine to remove the silicone tube after cleaning, which leads to a significant reduction in work efficiency, as is the case in the prior art.

[0036] The technical principles of the present invention have been described above with reference to specific embodiments. These descriptions are merely for explaining the principles of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention in any way. Based on this explanation, those skilled in the art can conceive of other specific embodiments of the present invention without creative effort, and these embodiments will all fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
