Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of container cleaning technology, specifically to a container cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In the laboratory, researchers need to conduct a large number of experiments every day, thus requiring the use of numerous experimental containers, such as test tubes, beakers, and graduated cylinders. These containers need to be cleaned promptly after each use.

[0003] Current cleaning methods typically involve manual cleaning by laboratory personnel. However, cleaning a large number of experimental containers places a significant workload on researchers. Manual cleaning is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the method of simply rinsing the containers directly with a tap is inefficient and wasteful of water. Furthermore, the varying sizes of experimental containers used in chemical experiments necessitate frequent changes of different sized cleaning tools, further increasing the workload. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, this application provides a container cleaning device to solve or improve the problems of high workload for laboratory personnel and low cleaning efficiency.

[0005] This application provides a container cleaning apparatus, comprising:

[0006] The box body has elongated holes;

[0007] The guide rod is fixed to the inner wall of the box, and the extension direction of the guide rod is consistent with the extension direction of the elongated hole.

[0008] The skateboard is slidably connected to the guide rod.

[0009] The motor is mounted on the housing, and the first gear is mounted on the output shaft of the motor. The first gear is located inside the housing.

[0010] Multiple second gears are arranged corresponding to the elongated holes, and the multiple second gears are spaced apart along the extension direction of the elongated holes and rotatably connected to the slide plate;

[0011] Multiple washing rollers of different diameters are rotatably connected to the slide plate. The multiple washing rollers are connected to multiple second gears in a one-to-one transmission. The multiple washing rollers pass through the elongated hole and exit the box.

[0012] A drive mechanism, mounted on the housing, is used to drive the slide plate along the guide rod so that multiple second gears can be selectively connected to the first gear.

[0013] Beneficial effects: When cleaning experimental containers, the container cleaning device provided in this application can be used. First, the motor is started, and the motor drives the first gear to rotate. Then, the drive mechanism drives the slide plate to move along the guide rod. Multiple second gears set on the slide plate can move with the slide plate and approach the first gear until they mesh with the first gear.

[0014] The experimenters brought the container to be cleaned into contact with the scrubbing roller to clean the outer wall of the container, or inserted the scrubbing roller into the container to clean the inner wall of the container.

[0015] Multiple second gears are arranged corresponding to elongated holes, allowing the washing rollers to pass through the elongated holes from inside the housing. The sliding plate drives the multiple washing rollers to slide within the elongated holes. When cleaning containers of other sizes, the drive mechanism moves the sliding plate, and different second gears can be selected to connect with the first gear, thereby driving the washing rollers that match the container size to rotate. This allows for cleaning of containers of different sizes, reducing the labor intensity of laboratory personnel.

Detailed Implementation

[0053] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0054] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 6 This describes an embodiment of the present application.

[0055] According to an embodiment of this application, a container cleaning device is provided, including: a housing 1, a guide rod 2, a slide plate 3, a drive mechanism 4, a motor 5, a plurality of second gears 7, and a plurality of brushing rollers 10 with different diameters. The housing 1 has an elongated hole 101. A guide rod 2 is fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1, and the extension direction of the guide rod 2 is consistent with the extension direction of the elongated hole 101. A slide plate 3 is slidably connected to the guide rod 2. A motor 5 is mounted on the housing 1. A first gear 6 is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 5. The first gear 6 is located inside the housing 1. Multiple second gears 7 are arranged corresponding to the elongated hole 101. The multiple second gears 7 are spaced apart along the extension direction of the elongated hole 101 and rotatably connected to the slide plate 3. Multiple brushing rollers 10 of different diameters are rotatably connected to the slide plate 3. The multiple brushing rollers 10 are connected to the multiple second gears 7 in a one-to-one transmission connection. The multiple brushing rollers 10 pass through the elongated hole 101 and exit the housing 1. A drive mechanism 4 is mounted on the housing 1. The drive mechanism 4 is used to drive the slide plate 3 to slide along the guide rod 2 so that the multiple second gears 7 can be selectively connected to the first gear 6.

[0056] When cleaning experimental containers, the personnel can use the container cleaning device provided in this application. First, the motor 5 is started, and the motor 5 drives the first gear 6 to rotate. Then, the drive mechanism 4 drives the slide plate 3 to move along the guide rod 2. The multiple second gears 7 set on the slide plate 3 can move with the slide plate 3 and approach the first gear 6 until they mesh with the first gear 6. The first gear 6 drives the meshing second gear 7 to rotate, and the second gear 7 drives the brush roller 10 connected to it to rotate.

[0057] The experimenters brought the container to be cleaned into contact with the scrubbing roller 10 to clean the outer wall of the container, or inserted the scrubbing roller 10 into the container to clean the inner wall of the container.

[0058] Multiple second gears 7 are arranged corresponding to the elongated holes 101, allowing the washing rollers 10 to pass through the elongated holes 101 from inside the housing 1. The slide plate 3 drives the multiple washing rollers 10 to slide within the elongated holes 101. When cleaning containers of other sizes, the drive mechanism 4 drives the slide plate 3 to move, and different second gears 7 can be selected to be connected to the first gear 6 for transmission, thereby driving the washing rollers 10 that match the container size to rotate, cleaning containers of different sizes, and reducing the labor intensity of experimental personnel. The washing rollers 10 rotate at high speed, have high cleaning efficiency, short cleaning time, and can save water resources.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, multiple rotating shafts 12 are rotatably connected to the slide plate 3. The multiple rotating shafts 12 are arranged corresponding to and extend through the elongated holes 101. Multiple second gears 7 are fixed one-to-one on the multiple rotating shafts 12, and multiple brush rollers 10 are fixed on the rotating shafts 12. The first gear 6 drives the second gear 7 to rotate, the second gear 7 drives the rotating shaft 12 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 12 drives the brush rollers 10 to rotate.

[0060] In another specific embodiment, the washing roller 10 can be replaced with a brush layer, and a brush layer can be fixed on the rotating shaft 12 for washing the container.

[0061] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the drive mechanism 4 can be a cylinder or an electric telescopic rod. The telescopic end of the cylinder or electric telescopic rod is connected to the slide plate 3 to drive the slide plate 3 to move.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, a bracket is fixed on the outer wall of the housing 1, and the motor 5 is fixed on the bracket. A shaft hole is provided on the housing 1 corresponding to the output shaft of the motor 5, and the output shaft of the motor 5 passes through the shaft hole into the housing 1.

[0063] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first gear 6 is located above the second gear 7, the slide plate 3 slides to a preset position, and the second gear 7 is located directly below the first gear 6 and meshes with it.

[0064] Specifically, motor 5 can be a servo motor.

[0065] Specifically, the two ends of the guide rod 2 are fixed to the inner wall of the housing 1.

[0066] In one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a splash guard 11 is provided on one side of the housing 1 with an elongated hole 101, and the splash guard 11 is arranged corresponding to the first gear 6. When the drive mechanism 4 drives the slide plate 3 to a preset position, the second gear 7 on the slide plate 3 meshes with the first gear 6, so that the scrubbing roller 10, which is connected to the second gear 7, is located below the splash guard 11. When the scrubbing roller 10 scrubs the container, it can prevent the cleaning liquid from splashing. Only when the scrubbing roller 10 is located below the splash guard 11 does it mean that the second gear 7 is meshed with the first gear 6, and the scrubbing roller 10 will be driven to rotate. By changing the scrubbing roller 10 of different diameters, containers of different sizes can be cleaned, and the scrubbing position is located below the splash guard 11.

[0067] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the splash guard 11 is arc-shaped, which provides better splash protection, and the curvature can be the same as the surface curvature of the scrubbing roller 10.

[0068] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, it also includes a rinsing mechanism 8, which is connected to the housing 1 and is equipped with a spray head 801. The spray head 801 is used to support the inverted container and rinse it. After the container is brushed by the washing roller 10, the inner wall of the container is covered with cleaning liquid. The container is then inverted and placed on the spray head 801, which sprays clean water to rinse the inner wall of the container.

[0069] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the rinsing mechanism 8 includes a cavity 802, a water collection tank 8021, and a drive pump 803. The cavity 802 is connected to the bottom of the housing 1. The water collection tank 8021 is located at the top of the cavity 802. The bottom of the water collection tank 8021 has a water collection port and a connecting port that communicate with the inner cavity of the cavity 802. The spray head 801 is connected to the bottom of the water collection tank 8021, and its inlet end is connected to the connecting port. The drive pump 803 is installed on the cavity 802, and its output end is connected to the connecting port. The drive pump 803 delivers clean water to the connecting port and sprays it out from the spray head to rinse the container. The rinsed wastewater flows back into the water collection tank 8021 and is collected into the inner cavity of the cavity 802 through the water collection port at the bottom of the water collection tank 8021.

[0070] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the drive pump 803 is fixed on the outer wall of the cavity 802. The cavity 802 is provided with a through hole. One end of the first pipe 804 is connected to the output end of the drive pump 803, and the other end passes through the through hole and the connecting port.

[0071] Specifically, the water collection tank 8021 is configured with two tanks.

[0072] In one embodiment, a first inductive switch is also included. The first inductive switch is connected to the spray head 801 and communicatively connected to the drive pump 803. The first inductive switch is adapted to control the drive pump 803 to start or stop when the container approaches or moves away from the spray head 801. When the experimenter places the container upside down on the spray head, the first inductive switch receives a sensing signal, detects the container's proximity, and controls the drive pump 803 to start, delivering clean water to the spray head 801 to rinse the container. When the container is clean, the experimenter removes the container from the spray head 801, and the first inductive switch detects the container's movement away, controlling the drive pump 803 to stop, thus conserving water resources.

[0073] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the rinsing mechanism 8 also includes: a container support column 806, which is fixed to the bottom of the water collection tank 8021 and has a through hole that communicates with a connecting port. A spray head 801 is installed at one end of the through hole, and a first inductive switch is fixed to the container support column 806. The container support column 806 is fixed to the bottom of the water collection tank 8021 to support the inverted container, allowing water from the inner wall of the container to drain better into the water collection tank 8021.

[0074] Specifically, multiple container support columns 806, spray heads 801, first induction switches, and water collection ports are provided, enabling multiple containers to be rinsed simultaneously.

[0075] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the container includes a drying mechanism 9, which is connected to the housing 1 and has multiple air outlets 901 for drying the inner wall of the container. After rinsing, the inner wall of the container retains a lot of moisture, which can easily lead to bacterial growth if stored directly. Therefore, the drying mechanism 9 dries the remaining moisture on the container before storage, making it more hygienic.

[0076] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, the air-drying mechanism 9 includes: a drain trough 902, a hollow rod 903, and a blower mechanism 904. The drain trough 902 is connected to the housing 1. An air inlet 9021 is provided at the bottom of the drain trough 902. An air inlet is provided at one end of the hollow rod 903. The hollow rod 903 is fixed to the bottom of the drain trough 902, and the air inlet is connected to the air inlet 9021. Multiple air outlets 901 for drying containers are provided on the side wall of the hollow rod 903. The blower mechanism 904 is installed on the housing 1 and is provided with an exhaust port, which is connected to the air inlet 9021.

[0077] The container is inverted onto the hollow rod 903, allowing residual water to drain into the drain trough 902. Multiple air outlets 901 are located on the side wall of the hollow rod 903, corresponding to the inner wall of the container. The exhaust port of the blower mechanism 904 supplies gas to the air inlet 9021, drying the container. The structure of the hollow rod 903 allows air to pass through the central cavity and exit through the circumferentially arranged air outlets 901, effectively drying the inner wall of the container. This design is simpler and more rational.

[0078] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, there are multiple hollow rods 903, and multiple air inlets 9021 are opened at the bottom of the drain tank 902. The multiple hollow rods 903 are connected to the multiple air inlets 9021, which can simultaneously air dry multiple containers.

[0079] In one embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 5As shown, the blower mechanism 904 includes a pressurizing component 9041 and a gas storage component 9042. The pressurizing component 9041 is fixed to the housing 1 and has a gas output end. The gas storage component 9042 has a gas storage chamber 90421, and the gas output end communicates with the gas storage chamber 90421. The gas storage component 9042 is fixed to the housing 1, and the gas storage chamber 90421 has an exhaust port. The pressurizing component 9041 supplies gas to the gas storage chamber 90421, which stores the gas for use in drying the container.

[0080] In one embodiment, such as Figures 4 to 5 As shown, the pressurizing assembly 9041 includes: a pressurizing cylinder 90411, a first elastic element 90418, and a cam 90419. A first piston 90412 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the pressurizing cylinder 90411. One end of the pressurizing cylinder 90411 away from the first piston 90412 is sealed by a sealing block 90413 to form a pressurizing chamber 90414. The sealing block 90413 has a first channel 90415 and a second channel 90416 communicating with the pressurizing chamber 90414. A one-way valve is provided in the first channel 90415. The port of the second channel 90416 is connected to the gas storage chamber 90421. The end of the first piston 90412 away from the sealing block 90413 is connected to the connecting rod 90417. The first elastic element 90418 is set in the pressurization chamber 90414. The two ends of the first elastic element 90418 are connected to the first piston 90412 and the sealing block 90413 respectively. The cam 90419 is installed on the output shaft of the motor 5. Under the action of the first elastic element 90418, the connecting rod 90417 always abuts against the cam 90419.

[0081] Motor 5 drives cam 90419 to rotate. Cam 90419 drives first piston 90412 to reciprocate in pressure cylinder 90411 via connecting rod 90417. When first piston 90412 moves away from first channel 90415, the pressure in pressure chamber 90414 decreases, and gas enters pressure chamber 90414 through first channel 90415. Since a one-way valve is installed in first channel 90415, only gas is allowed to enter pressure chamber 90414. Therefore, when first piston 90412 approaches first channel 90415, the gas in pressure chamber 90414 is transported from second channel 90416 to gas storage chamber 90421. Gas storage chamber 90421 stores the gas for use in drying containers.

[0082] Specifically, the port of the second channel 90416 is connected to the gas storage chamber 90421 through the third pipe 9044.

[0083] Specifically, the first elastic element 90418 can be a spring or a sheet.

[0084] It should be noted that the end of the connecting rod 90417 that abuts against the cam 90419 is designed with a rounded end to reduce the friction between the connecting rod 90417 and the cam 90419.

[0085] Specifically, the pressure cylinder 90411 is fixed to the outer wall of the housing 1.

[0086] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the gas storage assembly 9042 includes: a gas storage cylinder 90422, a second piston 90426, and a second elastic member 90428. The two ends of the gas storage cylinder 90422 are sealed by a first sealing plate 90423 and a second sealing plate 90424, respectively. The first sealing plate 90423 has a through hole 90425. The side wall of the gas storage cylinder 90422 has an exhaust port. The second piston 90426 is slidably connected inside the gas storage cylinder 90422, dividing the gas storage cylinder 90422 into a pressure chamber 90427 and a gas storage chamber 90421. The through hole 90425 communicates with the pressure chamber 90427. The second elastic member 90428 is disposed inside the pressure chamber 90427. The two ends of the second elastic member 90428 are connected to the first sealing plate 90423 and the second piston 90426, respectively, to pressurize the gas storage chamber 90421.

[0087] The pressurizing chamber 90414 delivers gas to the gas storage chamber 90421, increasing the pressure inside the gas storage chamber 90421. This pressure applies pressure to the second piston 90426, driving it to move towards the pressure chamber 90427. The pressure chamber 90427 is equipped with a second elastic element 90428, which pressurizes the second piston 90426, ensuring a certain pressure inside the gas storage chamber 90421. The exhaust port is connected to the gas storage chamber 90421, and the gas inside the gas storage chamber 90421 is delivered to the inner cavity of the hollow rod 903 through the exhaust port and ejected from multiple air outlets 901 to dry the container.

[0088] The first sealing plate 90423 has a through hole 90425, which allows the pressure chamber 90427 to communicate with the air, ensuring that the pressure of the second piston 90426 comes entirely from the second elastic element 90428. If the pressure of the air storage chamber 90421 needs to be changed, the second elastic element 90428 with a different elastic coefficient can be replaced, which is more convenient.

[0089] Specifically, the second elastic element 90428 can be a spring or a sheet.

[0090] Specifically, the exhaust vent is connected to the gas inlet 9021 via the second pipe 9043.

[0091] Specifically, the gas storage cylinder 90422 is fixed to the outer wall of the housing 1.

[0092] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the second sealing plate 90424 has a mounting groove on the side opposite the second piston 90426, and an electric heating element 905 is installed in the mounting groove. The electric heating element 905 can heat the gas in the gas storage chamber 90421. The heated gas is transported to the air rod through the second pipe 9043 and discharged from the air outlet 901, thereby improving the drying effect on the container.

[0093] In one embodiment, the air-drying mechanism 9 further includes a solenoid valve 907 and a second inductive switch 908 connected in communication. The solenoid valve 907 is installed at the air inlet 9021, and the second inductive switch 908 is located at the end of the hollow rod 903 away from the drain tank 902. The second inductive switch 908 is adapted to control the solenoid valve 907 to open or close when the container approaches or moves away from the hollow rod 903.

[0094] When the container approaches the hollow rod 903, the second induction switch 908 sends an induction signal to the solenoid valve 907, the solenoid valve 907 opens, and the heated gas in the gas storage chamber 90421 is discharged from the exhaust port, transported through the second pipe 9043 to the hollow rod 903, and discharged from the air outlet 901 to dry the container.

[0095] After the container is dried, the experimenter removes the container from the hollow rod 903. When the second inductive switch 908 senses that the container is away from the air, the second inductive switch 908 sends an inductive signal to the solenoid valve 907. The solenoid valve 907 closes, blocking the gas supply and conserving the gas in the gas storage chamber 90421.

[0096] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the solenoid valve 907 is installed on the second pipe 9043.

[0097] In one embodiment, the slide plate 3 is provided with a guide hole, which is slidably connected to the guide rod 2.

[0098] Specifically, there are two guide rods 2 arranged in parallel, and the slide plate 3 has two guide holes corresponding to the two guide rods 2, which makes the slide plate 3 slide more stably.

[0099] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cavity 802 has a drain port 805 for discharging the waste liquid collected in the cleaning container inside the cavity 802.

[0100] The following is an example, combined with Figures 1 to 6 A comprehensive explanation of all the above-mentioned plans is provided.

[0101] When cleaning experimental containers, the container cleaning device provided in this application can be used. First, the servo motor 5 is started. The output shaft of the servo motor 5 passes through the shaft hole into the housing 1 and drives the first gear 6 to rotate. The cylinder drives the slide plate 3 to slide on the guide rod 2, so that the corresponding second gear 7 meshes with the first gear 6, driving the second gear 7 to rotate. The second gear 7 is fixed on the rotating shaft 12, and a brush roller 10 is fixed on the rotating shaft 12. The rotating shaft and the slide plate 3 are rotatably connected. The first gear 6 drives the brush roller 10 to rotate through the second gear 7 and the rotating shaft 12. The experimenter puts the container to be cleaned into contact with the brush roller 10 to clean the outer wall of the container, or inserts the brush roller 10 into the container to clean the inner wall of the container. When it is necessary to change to a brush roller 10 of different diameter, the cylinder pushes the slide plate 3 to move, and selects the second gear 7 connected to the brush roller 10 of a suitable diameter to mesh with the first gear 6.

[0102] Simultaneously, cam 90419 rotates with the output shaft of servo motor 5. Cam 90419 and first elastic element 90418 drive first piston 90412 to reciprocate. When first piston 90412 moves away from first channel 90415, the pressure in pressurization chamber 90414 decreases, and air enters pressurization chamber 90414 through first channel 90415. Since a one-way valve is installed in first channel 90415, only air is allowed to enter pressurization chamber 90414. Therefore, when first piston 90412 approaches first channel 90415, the gas in pressurization chamber 90414 is transported from second channel 90416 to gas storage chamber 90421 to store the gas.

[0103] The container, after being washed by the scrubbing roller 10, still has cleaning solution remaining. When the container is inverted and placed on the container support column 806, the first sensor switch receives a signal, sensing the container's approach and controlling the drive pump 803 to start, delivering clean water to the spray head 801 to rinse the container. Once the container is clean, the experimenter removes it from the spray head 801. The first sensor switch then senses the container moving away and controls the drive pump 803 to stop, thus conserving water resources.

[0104] The pressurizing chamber 90414 delivers gas to the gas storage chamber 90421, increasing the pressure inside the gas storage chamber 90421. This increases the pressure on the second piston 90426, driving it to move towards the pressure chamber 90427. The pressure chamber 90427 is equipped with a second elastic element 90428, which pressurizes the second piston 90426, ensuring that the gas storage chamber 90421 has a certain pressure.

[0105] After rinsing, the container surface is damp with water droplets, making it prone to bacterial growth if stored directly. The staff inverts the container onto the hollow rod 903, allowing the water to drain into the drain tank. When the container approaches the hollow rod 903, the second inductive switch 908 sends a signal to the solenoid valve 907, opening it. Heated gas in the gas storage chamber 90421 is then released from the exhaust vent, transported through the exhaust vent and the second pipe 9043 to the inner cavity of the hollow rod 903, and finally discharged from the air outlet 901, drying the container. Once the container is dry, it is removed from the hollow rod 903. When the second inductive switch 908 senses the container moving away, it sends a signal to the solenoid valve 907, closing it and conserving gas in the gas storage chamber 90421.

[0106] Although embodiments of this application have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of this application, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended application.
