[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0023] The following is combined Figure 1 This invention describes an automatic cleaning device.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the automatic cleaning device includes: a rotating platform 1, multiple cleaning mechanisms and a tank 3. The tank 3 is used to hold the cups 4 to be cleaned. The multiple cleaning mechanisms are arranged on the rotating platform 1. The rotating platform 1 can rotate to drive the multiple cleaning mechanisms to clean the multiple cups 4 in sequence.
[0025] Specifically, multiple cups 4 are placed inside a tank 3. In this embodiment, the cups 4 are fixed within the tank 3, with the opening of each cup 4 facing the rotating platform 1. The rotating platform 1 rotates, causing multiple cleaning mechanisms to sequentially face the cups 4 and clean them. Specifically, the rotating platform 1 first rotates the first cleaning mechanism to face the cup 4. The cleaning medium in the first cleaning mechanism is water, and the first cleaning mechanism is used to remove impurities from the inner and outer walls of the cup 4. After the first cleaning mechanism completes its cleaning, the rotating platform 1 rotates to face the second cleaning mechanism to face the cup 4. The cleaning medium in the second cleaning mechanism is 2% RBS, used to disinfect the cup 4. After the second cleaning mechanism completes its cleaning, the rotating platform 1 rotates again to face the third cleaning mechanism to face the cup 4. The cleaning medium in the third cleaning mechanism is water, used to remove any residual disinfectant from the cup 4.
[0026] Optionally, in this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism can be an ultrasonic cleaner.
[0027] The automatic cleaning device provided in this embodiment of the utility model, by setting up a rotating platform, multiple cleaning mechanisms and a tank, can clean the cup in sequence by rotating the platform while the cup remains stationary, thereby achieving automatic cleaning of the cup and eliminating the need for manual cleaning, thus improving cleaning efficiency.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, in an embodiment of this utility model, the multiple cleaning mechanisms include: a first cleaning mechanism 21, a second cleaning mechanism 22, and a third cleaning mechanism 23. The first cleaning mechanism 21, the second cleaning mechanism 22, and the third cleaning mechanism 23 are all mounted on a rotating platform 1. When the rotating platform 1 rotates, it drives the first cleaning mechanism 21, the second cleaning mechanism 22, and the third cleaning mechanism 23 to sequentially face the cup body 4, cleaning the cup body 4 in sequence. The cleaning medium in the first cleaning mechanism 21 is a first medium; in this embodiment, the first medium can be water. Water is used to rinse the cup body 4, initially removing impurities from the inner and outer walls of the cup body 4. The cleaning medium in the second cleaning mechanism 22 is a second medium; in this embodiment, the second medium can be 2% RBS. The second medium is used to disinfect the cup body 4. The cleaning medium in the third cleaning mechanism 23 is also a first medium, used to rinse away residual disinfectant in the cup body 4, ensuring no chemical residue remains inside the cup body 4.
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, each cleaning mechanism has the same structure. Taking the first cleaning mechanism 21 as an example, the first cleaning mechanism 21 includes: a nozzle 211, a spray arm 212, a first pipeline 213, and a reagent bottle 214. The two ends of the first pipeline 213 are connected to the reagent bottle 214 and the spray arm 212, respectively. The nozzle 211 is connected to the spray arm 212. The spray arm 212 is disposed on the rotating platform 1. When the rotating platform 1 rotates, it can drive the nozzle 211 toward multiple cups 4.
[0030] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the automatic cleaning device further includes an experimental table 100, a rotating platform 1 and a tank 3, both mounted on the experimental table 100, and a reagent bottle 214 placed under the experimental table 100. The reagent bottle 214 is connected to the spray arm 212 via a first pipe 213. The reagent bottle 214 contains a first medium, which is sprayed out by a nozzle 211 to clean the cup 4. During cleaning, the rotating platform 1 can rotate back and forth within a small angle range to drive the nozzle 211 to move back and forth within a certain range, so that the cup 4 located on the outer side can also be cleaned.
[0031] In this embodiment, the reagent bottle 214 of the second cleaning mechanism 22 contains a second medium, and the reagent bottle 214 of the third cleaning mechanism 23 contains a first medium.
[0032] Furthermore, each cleaning mechanism is equipped with a switching valve and a regulating valve on its first pipeline 213. The switching valve is used to control the connection between the reagent bottle 214 and the spray arm 212, and the regulating valve is used to regulate the flow rate of the cleaning medium in the first pipeline 213.
[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the automatic cleaning device also includes a cleanliness analyzer 9 and a controller. The cleanliness analyzer 9 is installed in the tank 3 and is used to detect the cleanliness of the cup 4 after cleaning. Specifically, the cleanliness analyzer 9 can automatically perform filter membrane scanning and mosaicking, and automatically analyze and count particles according to standards. During the cleaning process of each cleaning unit, the cleanliness analyzer 9 detects the cleanliness of the cup 4 in real time. When the cleanliness reaches the standard, the cleanliness analyzer 9 sends a signal to the controller, which controls the rotating platform 1 to rotate for the next cleaning step. Furthermore, during the cleaning process, the controller can also adjust the valve core opening of the regulating valve according to the detection data of the cleanliness analyzer 9 to regulate the flow rate of the cleaning medium. If the cleaning effect is not good, the flow rate of the cleaning medium can be increased; if the cleaning effect is close to the standard requirements, the flow rate of the cleaning medium can be reduced to avoid wasting the cleaning medium.
[0034] Furthermore, each first pipeline 213 is equipped with a pump to pump the cleaning medium in the reagent bottle 214 to the spray arm 212.
[0035] The automatic cleaning device provided in this embodiment improves the cleaning quality of each cleaning step by setting up a cleanliness analyzer, ensuring that the cleaning effect of each cup is the same and improving the accuracy of the detection data.
[0036] In an embodiment of this utility model, the automatic cleaning device further includes a first driver, which is connected to the spray arm 212 of the second cleaning mechanism 22. Specifically, to make the internal disinfection of the cup body 4 more thorough, the spray arm 212 of the second cleaning mechanism 22 is connected to the first driver. The first driver is used to drive the spray arm 212 to extend and retract, so that the spray arm 212 extends into the cup body 4, and the second medium is sprayed out from the nozzle 211 to perform deep disinfection of the internal disinfection of the cup body 4.
[0037] In this embodiment, the spray surface of the nozzle 211 is an arc surface, and multiple through holes are provided on the arc surface, each through hole forming a nozzle. The arc surface of the spray surface allows the nozzle to have multiple spray angles, thereby enabling comprehensive cleaning of the inside and outside of the cup body 4. In particular, when the nozzle 211 is inserted into the cup body 4, the multi-angle nozzles can spray the second medium onto the side walls and bottom surface of the cup body 4, disinfecting the cup body 4 without any blind spots.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, the cup 4 lies flat inside the tank 3 with its opening facing the rotating platform 1. To prevent cleaning media residue from remaining inside the cup 4 during cleaning, the automatic cleaning device also includes a second actuator. The second actuator is connected to the tank 3 and is used to tilt the tank 3, raising the side of the tank 3 away from the rotating platform 1 so that the cleaning media inside the cup 4 can be poured out. Furthermore, to prevent the cup 4 from moving when the tank 3 is tilted, the tank 3 has multiple locking positions, with each cup 4 fixed within one locking position to secure it.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the automatic cleaning device further includes a collection bottle 32, which is connected to the tank 3 via a second pipe 31 to collect the cleaning medium in the tank 3 into the collection bottle 32. When the second driver tilts the tank 3, the second pipe 31 can be connected to the side of the tank 3 near the rotating platform 1 to facilitate the flow of the cleaning medium into the collection bottle 32, thereby preventing liquid accumulation in the tank 3 and contamination of the cleaned cup 4.
[0040] Furthermore, the automatic cleaning device also includes a recycling mechanism 33, which is connected to the collection bottle 32. The recycling mechanism 33 is used to filter and recycle wastewater to achieve the recycling and environmental protection of the cleaning medium.
[0041] Optionally, in embodiments of this utility model, the first driver and the second driver can be a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder.
[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment of the present invention, the automatic cleaning device further includes a receiving plate 5 and a drying mechanism 6. The receiving plate 5 has multiple through holes for receiving the cleaned cup body 4. The receiving plate 5 is positioned above the drying mechanism 6, which is mounted on the experimental table 100. In this embodiment, the mouth of the cup body 4 faces the drying mechanism 6, which can be a hair dryer to dry the cup body 4 with hot air.
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the automatic cleaning device also includes a placement rack 7, which is set on the experimental table 100 and is used to place the dried cup 4.
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, the automatic cleaning device also includes a robotic arm 8, one end of which is fixed to the experimental table 100, and the other end is used to grasp the cup 4. After the cup 4 is cleaned, the robotic arm 8 grasps the cup 4 and places it on the receiving plate 5; after the drying mechanism 6 dries the cup 4, the robotic arm 8 grasps the cup 4 from the receiving plate 5 and places it on the placement rack 7 for later use.
[0045] The automatic cleaning device provided in this embodiment of the utility model is applicable to the cleaning of various cups. The cleaning and drying process does not require manual operation, which reduces the workload of personnel. The cleaning effect is consistent, reducing human error and ensuring the accuracy of data detection. At the same time, the cleaning waste liquid is automatically treated and recycled, which reduces resource waste and avoids environmental pollution.
[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
