[0032] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a cleaning device for mobile sugar and flavor containers, including a frame 100, a lifting drive 200, a cleaning water pipe 300, a hot air pipe 400, and a hot air blower 500. The lifting drive 200 is located on the top of the frame 100, and its driving end is used for vertical lifting movement. The cleaning water pipe 300 is located on the driving end of the lifting drive 200, and its top is connected to an external water supply pipe. The hot air pipe 400 is located on the driving end of the lifting drive 200. The hot air blower 500 is mounted on the frame 100 and is used to generate hot air; its outlet is connected to the top of the hot air pipe 400. For example, the hot air blower 500 is located on the upper top side of the frame 100.

[0034] The cleaning device for mobile sugar and flavor containers provided by this utility model involves placing the mobile container 10 below the frame 100 and opening the top cover of the mobile container 10. The driving end of the lifting drive 200 lowers the cleaning water pipe 300 and the hot air pipe 400 into the interior of the mobile container 10. The external water supply pipe delivers cleaning water to the cleaning water pipe 300, which then flushes the interior of the mobile container 10. Wastewater generated during flushing is discharged through the material pipe below the mobile container 10. After flushing, the external water supply pipe stops delivering cleaning water to the cleaning water pipe 300, and the hot air blower 500 starts operating. The hot air generated by the hot air blower 500 enters the hot air pipe 400 through the air outlet, and the hot air pipe 400 blows hot air into the mobile container 10. The hot air accelerates the evaporation of residual moisture inside the mobile container 10, drying the interior of the mobile container 10. The driving end of the lifting drive 200 then raises the cleaning water pipe 300 and the hot air pipe 400 to leave the mobile container 10. Finally, the top cover of the mobile container 10 is closed.

[0035] During the rinsing process, the driving end of the lifting drive component 200 can drive the cleaning water pipe 300 to move up and down inside the moving tank 10, thereby achieving reciprocating rinsing of the interior of the moving tank 10. Similarly, during the drying process, the driving end of the lifting drive component 200 can drive the hot air pipe 400 to move up and down inside the moving tank 10, thereby achieving reciprocating blowing drying of the interior of the moving tank 10.

[0036] It should be noted that the lifting drive component 200 may be, but is not limited to, a linear motor, a cylinder, or other device capable of driving the cleaning water pipe 300 and the hot air pipe 400 to move vertically.

[0037] In some embodiments, the cleaning device for the sugar and flavor mobile can also include a cylinder connecting plate 600, which is disposed on the top of the frame 100. The cylinder connecting plate 600 is equipped with a lifting cylinder 610, the driving end of which is used for vertical lifting movement. The driving end of the lifting cylinder 610 is also equipped with a lid opening device 620. When it is necessary to open the top cover of the mobile can 10, the driving end of the lifting cylinder 610 lowers the lid opening device 620 to the top cover of the mobile can 10, and the lid opening device 620 opens the top cover. The driving end of the lifting cylinder 610 then raises the lid opening device 620 away from the mobile can 10. When it is necessary to close the top cover of the mobile can 10, the driving end of the lifting cylinder 610 lowers the lid opening device 620 to the top cover of the mobile can 10, and the lid opening device 620 closes the top cover. The driving end of the lifting cylinder 610 then raises the lid opening device 620 away from the mobile can 10. For example, the cylinder connecting plate 600 is disposed on the top underside of the frame 100.

[0038] Specifically, the lid-opening device 620 is equipped with a suction cup that can move laterally. When opening the lid, the driving end of the lifting cylinder 610 drives the lid-opening device 620 down to the top cover of the mobile tank 10. The suction cup extends forward to the edge of the top cover, and after the suction cup adheres to the edge, it pulls the top cover open to the correct position. Then, the suction cup disengages and releases, and the driving end of the lifting cylinder 610 drives the lid-opening device 620 up away from the mobile tank 10. When closing the lid, the driving end of the lifting cylinder 610 drives the lid-opening device 620 down to the top cover of the mobile tank 10. The suction cup extends forward to contact the edge of the top cover and pushes it forward until the top cover reaches the closed position. Then, the suction cup disengages and retracts, and the driving end of the lifting cylinder 610 drives the lid-opening device 620 up away from the mobile tank 10.

[0039] Of course, the lid opening device 620 can also use existing mature lid opening devices, any lid opening device that can open and close the lid of the mobile can 10.

[0040] In some embodiments, the sugar and flavor mobile tank cleaning device further includes a positioning baffle 700, which is installed on the ground and located below the frame 100. The positioning baffle 700 is used to position the mobile tank 10. When the mobile tank 10 is positioned by the positioning baffle 700, the mobile tank 10 is directly facing the cleaning water pipe 300 and the hot air pipe 400. Moreover, the positioning baffle 700 can cooperate with AGV to automatically transport the mobile tank 10, realizing automated transportation of the mobile tank 10 and reducing the labor intensity of personnel.

[0041] In some embodiments, the cleaning water pipe 300 is a rigid pipe, and a cleaning water hose 310 is connected to the top of the cleaning water pipe 300. The cleaning water pipe 300 is connected to an external water supply pipe through the cleaning water hose 310, which provides a flexible connection between the cleaning water pipe 300 and the external water supply pipe. The hot air pipe 400 is a rigid pipe, and a hot air hose 410 is connected to the top of the hot air pipe 400. The hot air pipe 400 is connected to the air outlet of the hot air blower 500 through the hot air hose 410, which provides a flexible connection between the hot air pipe 400 and the air outlet of the hot air blower 500.

[0042] A nozzle 320 is installed at the bottom of the cleaning water pipe 300. The cleaning water transported by the cleaning water pipe 300 is rinsed inside the mobile tank 10 through the nozzle 320. An air outlet 420 is installed at the bottom of the hot air pipe 400. The hot air transported by the hot air pipe 400 is dried inside the mobile tank 10 through the air outlet 420.

[0043] To ensure the stability of the lifting drive component 200, a support frame 110 is provided on the top of the frame 100, and the lifting drive component 200 is mounted on the support frame 110. For example, the support frame 110 is located on the upper top side of the frame 100.

[0044] This mobile sugar and flavor container cleaning device replaces manual cleaning of the inside of the mobile container 10, reducing the labor intensity of workers, ensuring cleaning efficiency, and drying the residual moisture inside the mobile container 10.
