[0034] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4 The present invention discloses an integrated material switching branch station, including a shell 5, a fixing plate 8 fixedly connected to the top front side of the shell 5, a fixing base 9 fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting base 13, and the shell 5 passing through and fixedly connected to the fixing base 9, a tank 12 passing through and fixedly connected to the top middle of the fixing bracket 14, a sealing cover 11 passing through and provided on the top of the tank 12, and a cleaning component provided on the rear side of the shell 5.

[0036] The sealing cover 11 can isolate the material from contamination by the external environment. The upper part of the sealing cover 11 is equipped with a lifting ring, which makes it easy to open the sealing cover 11 when needed.

[0037] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6The cleaning assembly includes a water pump 20, with a first support frame 19 fixedly connected to the top of the water pump 20. A second pipe 18 is passed through and fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 20, and the second pipe 18 passes through the first support frame 19. A rotary joint 23 is provided at the other end of the second pipe 18, and the rotary joint 23 passes through and is fixedly connected to the first support frame 19. A coupling 15 is provided at the other end of the rotary joint 23. A rotating mechanism is provided at the rear side of the rotary joint 23. A water storage tank 21 is provided at the input end of the water pump 20. A second support frame 26 is provided on the right side of the water pump 20, and the second support frame 26 is fixedly connected to the outer casing 5. A drying mechanism is provided on the second support frame 26. The rotating mechanism includes a second motor 22. Gears 24 are connected through and fixedly to the output end of 2 and the upper part of the outer wall of the high-pressure nozzle 25, and the two gears 24 mesh with each other. The drying mechanism includes a blower 2, the output end of the blower 2 is connected through and fixedly to the first pipe 1, the other end of the first pipe 1 is connected through and fixedly to the hot air blower 3, the input end of the blower 2 is connected through and fixedly to the filter box 4, the water pump 20 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 5, the water tank 21 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 5, the second motor 22 is fixedly connected to the first support frame 19, and the output end of the second motor 22 is connected through the first support frame 19. The blower 2 is connected through and fixedly to the second support frame 26, the hot air blower 3 is connected through and fixedly to the second support frame 26, and the filter box 4 is fixedly connected to the second support frame 26.

[0038] The rotary joint 23 ensures that the high-pressure nozzle can rotate while the water source is connected, which facilitates cleaning of the inner wall of the tank 12. The high-pressure nozzle 25 can convert the pressure energy of the high-pressure water into kinetic energy and finally spray it out from the nozzle in the form of a high-pressure water jet, which greatly improves the cleaning power. The filter box 4 can filter impurities and dust in the air, thereby ensuring that the hot air blown out by the hot air blower is clean and ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the tank 12 during the drying process.

[0039] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 A drive mechanism is provided at the top of the fixed plate 8. A rotating shaft 16 is rotatably connected through the bottom rear of the fixed plate 8. A coupling 15 is provided through the upper part of the rotating shaft 16. A mounting base 13 is rotatably connected through the lower end of the rotating shaft 16. Evenly distributed fixed brackets 14 are fixedly connected to the middle of the outer wall of the rotating shaft 16. A solenoid valve 10 is rotatably connected through the lower port of the tank body 12. Pressure sensors 17 are fixedly connected to the lower part of the side of the tank body 12 away from the solenoid valve 10. The detection end of the pressure sensor 17 passes through the tank body 12. The drive mechanism includes a first motor 7. A reducer 6 is rotatably connected through the output end of the first motor 7. The first motor 7 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 8. The reducer 6 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 8. The rotating shaft 16 passes through the fixed plate 8 and is fixedly connected to the output end of the reducer 6.

[0040] The coupling 15 enables torque and rotational motion transmission between shafts, while also mitigating shaft misalignment and absorbing shock and vibration. The pressure sensor monitors pressure in real time, facilitating control of the material level inside the tank. The solenoid valve can be quickly opened and closed, allowing for the quantitative addition of materials.

[0041] Working principle: When material switching is required, the first motor 7 is turned on, which drives the rotating shaft 16 to rotate via the reducer 6. This, in turn, drives the fixed support 14 and the tank 12 fixed to the fixed support 14 to rotate. When the solenoid valve 10 fixed at the lower end of the tank 12 rotates to a specified angle, the solenoid valve 10 is opened to release the material stored inside the tank 12. The pressure sensor 17 located at the lower end of the tank 12 can detect the pressure exerted by the material inside the tank 12. The pressure magnitude is used to further infer the amount of material stored inside the tank 12. When cleaning the inside of the tank 12 is required, the sealing cover 11 is first removed upwards. Then, the first motor 7 drives one of the tanks 12 to rotate below the high-pressure nozzle 25. Immediately afterwards, the water pump 20 is started, which draws water stored in the water storage tank 21 and... The second pipe 18 and rotary joint 23 deliver water to the high-pressure nozzle 25 for spraying. At the same time, the second motor 22 is started to drive the rear gear 24 to rotate, which cooperates with the front gear 24 to drive the high-pressure nozzle 25 to rotate. This causes the high-pressure nozzle 25 to rotate while spraying water, cleaning the inner wall of the tank 12. When cleaning is complete, the first motor 7 is started again to drive the next tank 12 to rotate to the designated position and repeat the above steps to clean it. The cleaned tank 12 is rotated to the bottom of the hot air blower 3. The exhaust fan 2 is turned on to draw outside air into the filter box 4 and filter it. Then, it is transmitted through the first pipe 1 into the hot air blower 3. At the same time, the hot air blower 3 is turned on to heat the filtered air and blow it out to dry the residual water stains inside the tank 12. The above steps are repeated to clean and dry each tank 12 in turn.
