Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of auxiliary equipment for filter presses, and is mainly applied to the cleaning of filter plates in industries where filter presses are used. Focusing on the technology of filter plate cleaning for filter presses, it is specifically a filter plate cleaning machine for filter presses. By constructing a complete automated cleaning system, it aims to overcome the shortcomings of traditional manual cleaning methods, such as inefficiency, high labor intensity, and unstable cleaning results, and achieve rapid, uniform, and thorough cleaning of filter plates while ensuring the quality and efficiency of filter plate cleaning. Background Technology
[0002] Filter presses are widely used in solid-liquid separation operations across numerous industrial sectors, such as mining, metallurgy, chemical engineering, and environmental protection. During operation, the filter plates play a crucial filtration role. However, as filtration continues, a large amount of filter residue, impurities, and various residual materials gradually accumulate on the surface of the filter plates. These deposits not only affect the filtration efficiency, slowing down the filtration speed and reducing filtration accuracy, but also, if not cleaned regularly, can cause permanent damage such as corrosion and breakage, significantly shortening the lifespan of the filter plates.
[0003] Traditional filter plate cleaning methods primarily rely on manual cleaning. During manual cleaning, operators use brushes, shovels, and other tools to scrape and scrub away deposits on the filter plate surface. This method has several drawbacks. First, manual cleaning is extremely labor-intensive, especially for large enterprises with a large number of filter plates to clean. Prolonged high-intensity cleaning work can easily lead to operator fatigue, affecting cleaning effectiveness and work efficiency. Second, manual cleaning is inefficient and cannot meet the demands of rapid cleaning and turnover of filter plates in large-scale industrial production. For example, in some chemical plants, due to their tight production processes, excessively long filter plate cleaning times can cause delays in the entire production chain, resulting in economic losses. Third, manual cleaning cannot guarantee uniformity and thoroughness. Inconsistent operating techniques and pressure from different operators can lead to some filter plates not being cleaned properly, leaving residual deposits that can still negatively impact their subsequent use.
[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, the development of a high-efficiency, automated, effective, and environmentally friendly filter plate cleaning machine for filter presses has become an urgent need in industrial production. This invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of traditional manual filter plate cleaning methods, improve the efficiency and quality of filter plate cleaning, and provide strong support for the stable operation of industrial production. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a filter plate cleaning machine for filter presses, which solves the problems of inefficiency, high labor intensity and unstable cleaning effect of existing traditional manual cleaning methods.
[0006] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides a filter plate cleaning machine for a filter press, comprising:
[0007] The drive mechanism drives the pulley to rotate;
[0008] The support mechanism supports and stabilizes the overall structure of the cleaning machine;
[0009] Guide wheels are rotatably mounted on the support mechanism to assist in guiding the movement of the lifting mechanism.
[0010] The rinsing mechanism includes an inlet pipe, a water pipe, and a nozzle. The inlet pipe is the water source input channel for the rinsing mechanism, and the nozzle is connected to the inlet pipe through the water pipe.
[0011] The lifting mechanism is driven by a lifting motor, which causes the rinsing mechanism to move vertically.
[0012] The lifting sensor is fixedly installed on one side of the support mechanism;
[0013] The horizontal sensor is fixedly mounted on the upper side of the drive mechanism.
[0014] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a drive motor, a bevel gear, and a pulley, with the drive motor driving the pulley to rotate via the bevel gear.
[0015] Furthermore, the two pulleys are connected by a belt drive.
[0016] Furthermore, the lifting motor drives the lifting mechanism to move via a wire rope.
[0017] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes a fixed frame and a slider, the slider being disposed at the connection between the lifting mechanism and the support mechanism, and the water inlet pipe being fixedly installed inside the fixed frame.
[0018] Furthermore, a baffle is provided on the outside of the rinsing mechanism.
[0019] Furthermore, two casters are rotatably mounted on the side of the support mechanism away from the drive mechanism.
[0020] Furthermore, the lifting actuator and the level sensor are connected to the controller.
[0021] Furthermore, the drive motor and the lifting motor are connected to a controller.
[0022] Furthermore, a stabilizing wheel is also provided at the bottom of one side of the support mechanism.
[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0024] (1) The combination of the automated drive mechanism and the precise positioning system of this utility model can quickly align the rinsing mechanism with the filter plate, greatly shortening the preparation time. The efficient operation of the lifting mechanism significantly improves efficiency compared to traditional manual cleaning, meeting the needs of rapid filter plate turnover in large-scale production. Operators only need to start the equipment and monitor its operation status, without having to perform heavy manual brushing and handling work, greatly reducing the labor burden, improving the working environment, and reducing personnel fatigue and operational errors caused by long-term high-intensity labor.
[0025] (2) The synergistic effect of the horizontal sensor and the lifting sensor of this utility model ensures that the nozzle and the filter plate are always in the best relative position. The high-pressure water flow impacts all parts of the filter plate evenly and stably, effectively removing various dirt and residues, avoiding cleaning dead corners and unevenness, so that the filter plate can be restored to the best filtration performance state after cleaning, and extending the service life of the filter plate.
[0026] (3) The support mechanism of this utility model provides a reliable bearing foundation. The guide wheel and slider ensure the smooth and accurate movement of the lifting mechanism. The stabilizing wheel further enhances the overall stability. Even when the nozzle generates a reaction force during high-pressure flushing, the equipment can still run smoothly, reducing the risk of component wear and failure caused by equipment shaking, and improving the reliability and durability of the equipment.

Detailed Implementation
[0034] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.
[0035] To fully understand this utility model, detailed steps and structures will be presented in the following description to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model. Preferred embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below; however, in addition to these detailed descriptions, this utility model may have other embodiments.
[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 In one embodiment of the filter plate cleaning machine for a filter press of this utility model, the filter plate cleaning machine includes: a drive mechanism 1, which drives pulley 10 to rotate; a drive mechanism 11 drives pulley 10 to rotate via bevel gears; and the two pulleys 10 are connected by a belt drive. After the drive motor 11 starts, it transmits power to the pulleys 10 through the bevel gears. The transmission characteristics of the bevel gears enable stable power transmission while changing direction, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the transmission. The belt drive connection between the two pulleys 10 effectively buffers the impact when the motor starts and stops, making the power transmission smoother and reducing mechanical damage to other parts of the equipment. The belt drive also has a certain overload protection capability. When the cleaning machine encounters an unexpected increase in resistance during operation, the belt can slip to prevent damage to the motor and other transmission components due to overload. The belt drive brings the filter plate to be cleaned and the rinsing mechanism 5 of the cleaning machine closer together. When the filter plate to be cleaned is directly below the rinsing mechanism, a level sensor 9 transmits a signal to the controller. This level sensor 9 can be a photoelectric sensor.
[0037] The support mechanism 2 supports and stabilizes the overall structure of the cleaning machine; the guide wheel 4 is rotatably mounted on the support mechanism 2 to guide the lifting mechanism 3 during movement; the lifting mechanism 3 includes a fixed frame and a slider 13, which is located at the connection between the lifting mechanism 3 and the support mechanism 2, and the water inlet pipe 8 is fixedly installed inside the fixed frame; the lifting mechanism 3 is driven by the lifting motor 6, which drives the rinsing mechanism 5 to move vertically; the lifting motor 6 drives the lifting mechanism 3 to move via a wire rope; the lifting sensor 7 is fixedly installed on one side of the support mechanism 2. The support mechanism 2 provides a solid and reliable foundation for the entire cleaning machine, and the guide wheel 4 mounted on the support mechanism 2 provides precise guidance when the lifting mechanism 3 moves vertically. A slider 13 is provided at the connection between the lifting mechanism 3 and the support mechanism 2. The slider 13 not only reduces the frictional resistance between the lifting mechanism 3 and the support mechanism 2, making the lifting movement smoother, but also limits and stabilizes the movement of the lifting mechanism 3, ensuring that the lifting mechanism 3 does not deviate or jam during its up-and-down movement. The lifting sensor 7 detects the position information of the lifting mechanism 3 and feeds the data back to the controller. The controller precisely controls the operation of the lifting motor 6 based on the received signal, thereby accurately adjusting the height position of the rinsing mechanism 5.
[0038] The rinsing mechanism 5 includes an inlet pipe 8, a water pipe 15, and a nozzle 17. The inlet pipe 8 serves as the water input channel for the rinsing mechanism 5, connecting to an external water source, such as a high-pressure water system provided by a high-pressure water pump, via a flexible hose. The nozzle 17 is connected to the inlet pipe 8 via the water pipe 15. A level sensor 9 is fixedly mounted on the upper side of the drive mechanism 11. A baffle 14 is provided on the outer side of the rinsing mechanism 5. Two casters are rotatably mounted on the side of the support mechanism 2 away from the drive mechanism 11. The lifting sensor 7 and the level sensor 9 are connected to a controller, and the drive motor 11 and the lifting motor 6 are connected to the controller. A stabilizing wheel 12 is also provided at the bottom of one side of the support mechanism 2. When the rinsing mechanism 5 is working, the inlet pipe 8 first connects to the external water source, and the water source is stably transmitted to the nozzle 17 through the water pipe 15, from which the nozzle 17 sprays a high-pressure water stream. The inlet pipe 8 is fixedly installed inside the fixed frame of the lifting mechanism 3, ensuring the stability of the inlet pipe 8 during the lifting process and preventing water supply disruption or equipment malfunction due to pipe swaying. The high-pressure water jet from nozzle 17 has sufficient impact force to effectively remove dirt, residue and other attachments from the surface of the filter plate. The baffle 14 set on the outside of the rinsing mechanism 5 provides good protection.
[0039] Working principle: During the cleaning process, the driving motor 11 transmits power to the pulley 10 through bevel gears. The two pulleys 10 are connected by belt drive, making the filter plate to be cleaned and the flushing mechanism of the cleaning machine approach each other. When the filter plate to be flushed is directly below the flushing mechanism, the horizontal sensor 9 transmits a signal to the controller. The controller controls the operation of the lifting motor 6 according to the information fed back by the horizontal sensor 9. The lifting motor 6 uses the steel wire rope to drive the lifting mechanism 3 to move. The lifting sensor 7 detects the position information of the lifting mechanism 3 and feeds the data back to the controller. The controller accurately controls the operation of the lifting motor 6 according to the received signal, and precisely adjusts the height position of the flushing mechanism 5. When the flushing mechanism 5 reaches the flushing position, water is stably transmitted to the nozzle 17 through the water pipe 15. The nozzle 17 sprays high-pressure water flow to flush the filter plate, realizing the automatic control of the entire cleaning machine. Through this automatic control method, not only the tediousness and error of manual operation are reduced, but also the working efficiency and stability of the cleaning machine are improved, enabling the cleaning operation to be completed more efficiently and accurately.
[0040] The filter plate cleaning machine for a filter press of the present utility model realizes the efficient and automatic cleaning of the filter plate of the filter press through the collaborative work of multiple components such as the driving mechanism 1, the supporting mechanism 2, the lifting mechanism 3, and the flushing mechanism 5, combined with control components such as the horizontal sensor 9, the lifting sensor 7, and the controller. This makes the cleaning machine have the advantages of good cleaning effect, high working efficiency, convenient operation, and strong stability, and has a broad application prospect in the field of filter plate cleaning of filter presses, which can provide strong guarantee for the maintenance and operation of filter presses in industrial production, and effectively improve the stability and continuity of the entire production system.

It should be understood that the present utility model is not limited to the above specific implementation manners, nor is it only limited to the filter plate cleaning machine for a filter press.

Therefore, any simple modification, equivalent change, and modification made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present utility model still fall within the scope of protection of the technical solution of the present utility model.
