[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] It should be noted that all uses of "first" and "second" in the embodiments of this utility model are for the purpose of distinguishing two entities or parameters with the same name but different names. It is clear that "first" and "second" are only for the convenience of expression and should not be construed as limiting the embodiments of this utility model. Subsequent embodiments will not explain this in detail.

[0026] The directional and positional terms used in this utility model, such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "top," "bottom," and "side," are merely for reference to the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional and positional terms used are for the purpose of explaining and understanding this utility model, and not for limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, a simple hopper cleaning chamber mechanism is provided in an embodiment of this utility model. It includes a cleaning chamber body 1, a cavity 11 within the cleaning chamber body 1, and a spray system and a drainage system within the cavity 11. The spray system includes a water inlet pipe 2 and a spray frame 3. One end of the water inlet pipe 2 is connected to an external water source, and the other end is connected to the spray frame 3.

[0028] The bottom of the cavity 11 is provided with a mounting base 111, and the drainage system includes a water collection tray 4 detachably connected to the mounting base 111. The mounting base 111 is provided with a first suction positioning member 112, and the water collection tray 4 is provided with a second suction positioning member 41 that forms a suction engagement with the first suction positioning member 112.

[0029] This design allows for a simple connection between the water collection tray and the mounting base via first and second magnetic locating components. It enables quick connection and separation of the water collection tray and the mounting base, resulting in efficient assembly and disassembly. Furthermore, the magnetic force between the first and second magnetic locating components ensures a secure connection during connection. The first and second magnetic locating components are specifically magnets.

[0030] The bottom of the water collection tray 4 has a first conical surface 42, the mounting base 111 is annular and its upper end has a second conical annular surface 113 that matches the shape of the first conical surface 42, and the bottom center of the water collection tray 4 is provided with a water outlet port 43 that passes through the center of the mounting base 111 and exits the cavity 11.

[0031] With this design, the water collection tray automatically aligns itself during installation through the cooperation of the first conical surface and the second conical annular surface, while also ensuring high connection stability.

[0032] The water collection tray 4 has a lifting part 44 on the inner circumference of its upper end.

[0033] This design makes it easy to remove the water collection tray, and the lifting part can be in the form of a block or a ring.

[0034] The spray frame 3 includes a top spray frame 31 and a side spray frame 32. The top spray frame 31 is provided with an inner nozzle 311, and the side spray frame 32 is provided with an outer nozzle 5.

[0035] With this setup, the inner nozzle is used to clean the inside of the material cylinder, while the outer nozzle is used to clean the outer perimeter of the material cylinder, thus improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

[0036] The external nozzle 5 includes a connecting cylinder 51 and a main injection pipe 52 installed at the center of the connecting cylinder 51. The main injection pipe 52 divides the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 51 into an injection channel 53 formed in the inner cavity of the main injection pipe 52 and an injection annular channel 54 located between the outer periphery of the injection channel 53 and the inner periphery of the connecting cylinder 51. A diffuser cone 521 is connected to the outer periphery of the end of the main injection pipe 52 away from the side spray frame 32. The diameter of the outer peripheral surface of the diffuser cone 521 increases from the end near the side spray frame 32 to the end away from the side spray frame 32.

[0037] With this setup, the water entering the connecting cylinder from the side spray frame is dispersed by the main spray pipe into the spray channels and spray ring channels. The water in the spray ring channels diffuses outward through the diffuser cone to form a larger spray surface. The spray channels located in the center ensure that the water in the center is concentrated, thus achieving full coverage cleaning of the hopper.

[0038] The central screw hole of the diffuser cone 521 is rotatably engaged with the outer circumferential thread of the main injection pipe 52.

[0039] This setting allows for adjustment of the axial position of the diffuser cone connected to the main spray pipe by rotating it, thereby adjusting the area of ​​the spray surface formed by the diffuser cone and adapting it to hoppers of various sizes, thus improving the flexibility of adjustment.

[0040] The inner circumference of the connecting cylinder 51 is provided with a connecting ring 511, the inner circumference of the connecting ring 511 is threadedly connected to the outer circumference of the main jet pipe 52, and the connecting ring 511 is provided with a plurality of water outlet holes 512 along its axial direction.

[0041] This design facilitates the easy assembly and disassembly of the main jet pipe and ensures reliable connection. The connecting ring is equipped with a water outlet hole, which does not affect the water output of the jet ring channel.

[0042] The inner nozzle 311 is detachably connected to the top spray frame 31, and the outer nozzle 5 is detachably connected to the side spray frame 32.

[0043] Specifically, a clamp connection method is used to achieve a detachable connection between the two.

[0044] An exhaust butterfly valve device 6 is connected to the upper end of the main body 1 of the cleaning chamber.

[0045] This setup includes an exhaust system at the top to facilitate the removal of humid air generated during cleaning inside the cleaning room.

[0046] The main body 1 of the cleaning room is provided with a door 12 on the side, and a viewing mirror 13 is provided on the door 12.

[0047] With this feature, the door can be opened when parts need to be disassembled or the hopper needs to be pushed in or pushed out, and the sight glass allows staff to observe the internal cleaning process.

[0048] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
