[0035] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0036] This embodiment provides a material tray cleaning system that eliminates the need for manual wiping of the material tray, thereby reducing labor costs and improving the cleanliness of the material tray.
[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the material tray cleaning system includes a cleaning unit 100, a liquid supply unit, and a drying unit 300. The cleaning unit 100 includes a cleaning assembly 110, which includes a cleaning tank 111 and multiple nozzles 112. For example, the number of nozzles 112 can be twenty, thirty, or thirty-five, etc. The multiple nozzles 112 are all arranged inside the cleaning tank 111. The nozzles 112 are used to spray cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank 111, and the multiple nozzles 112 spray in different directions. The liquid supply unit includes a first booster pump 210 and a filter 220. The liquid outlet of the first booster pump 210 is connected to the multiple nozzles 112 through the filter 220. The drying unit 300 includes a drying assembly 310, which includes a drying tank 311 and at least two air knives 312. For example, the number of air knives 312 can be two, three, or four, etc. The at least two air knives 312 are all arranged inside the drying tank 311, and the air knives 312 are used to blow air into the drying tank 311.
[0038] The tray cleaning system includes a cleaning unit 100, a liquid supply unit, and a drying unit 300. The tray is placed in a cleaning tank 111, where multiple nozzles 112 spray cleaning fluid to clean it. The tray is then placed in a drying tank 311, where at least two air knives 312 blow high-speed airflow to dry it. This eliminates the need for manual wiping of the trays, reducing labor costs and improving cleaning efficiency. It significantly reduces the accumulation of uncleaned trays, thereby reducing the amount of trays used in production and lowering production costs. Furthermore, the liquid supply unit is equipped with a filter 220. The outlet of the first booster pump 210 is connected to multiple nozzles 112 through the filter 220, allowing the cleaning fluid to be filtered before entering the nozzles 112 to spray the tray. The filter 220 effectively filters the cleaning fluid, improving the cleanliness of the cleaned trays. On the other hand, the multiple nozzles 112 inside the cleaning tank 111 spray in different directions, which can spray cleaning liquid onto the material tray at multiple different angles, thereby reducing the chance of the edges and crevices of the material tray not being cleaned properly, and thus further improving the cleanliness of the cleaning material tray.
[0039] Furthermore, filter 220 is a reverse osmosis filter to improve the filtration accuracy of the cleaning solution, thereby further improving the cleanliness of the cleaning tray.
[0040] It should be noted that the cleaning solution can be water or detergent, etc. The cleaning solution in this embodiment is water, which can avoid environmental pollution and reduce the safety hazards caused by the flammable and volatile properties of the cleaning solution (such as alcohol).
[0041] Optionally, such as Figure 2As shown, the cleaning assembly 110 also includes a liquid collection tray 230, which is disposed inside the cleaning tank 111 and located at the bottom of the cleaning tank 111. The liquid supply unit also includes a liquid storage tank 240. The liquid collection tray 230 and the liquid inlet of the first booster pump 210 are both connected to the liquid storage tank 240, so that the cleaning liquid sprayed from the nozzle 112 can fall back into the liquid collection tray 230. The cleaning liquid recovered in the liquid collection tray 230 flows into the liquid storage tank 240. The cleaning liquid in the liquid storage tank 240 passes through the first booster pump 210 and the filter 220 in sequence and then re-enters the nozzle 112, realizing the recycling of the cleaning liquid and achieving the effect of saving cleaning liquid.
[0042] Furthermore, to improve the recovery efficiency of the cleaning fluid, the fluid supply unit also includes a second booster pump 250, and the liquid collection tray 230 is connected to the liquid storage tank 240 through the second booster pump 250.
[0043] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the material tray cleaning system also includes an air supply unit, which includes a blower 610 and a heating element 620. The air outlet side of the blower 610 is connected to at least two air knives 312 through the heating element 620 to increase the air outlet temperature of the air knives 312 and achieve the effect of quickly drying the material tray.
[0044] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the tray cleaning system also includes a conveying mechanism 400, which is used to feed the tray (not shown) into the cleaning tank 111 and remove the tray from the cleaning tank 111. The conveying mechanism 400 is also used to feed the tray into the drying tank 311 and remove the tray from the drying tank 311, along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 400. Figure 1 (in the x direction), the cleaning unit 100 is located upstream of the drying unit 300. By setting a conveying mechanism 400, the material tray is automatically conveyed between the cleaning unit 100 and the drying unit 300, which further reduces manual input and has the effect of improving cleaning efficiency and reducing cleaning costs.
[0045] It should be noted that the conveying mechanism 400 is a common mechanism in the art, and the tray can be fixed on the conveying mechanism 400 using a common structure in the art, for example, as shown in the example. Figure 4 As shown, the conveying mechanism 400 is a conveyor belt 410, and multiple fixed seats 411 are spaced apart on the conveyor belt 410. The fixed seats 411 are provided with slots 412, and the material tray can be detachably inserted into the slots 412. The material tray moves with the movement of the conveyor belt.
[0046] Optionally, such as Figure 1As shown, the tray cleaning system also includes a negative pressure isolation unit, which includes a negative pressure box 540 and an exhaust fan 550. The conveying mechanism 400 is also used to feed the tray into the negative pressure box 540 and remove the tray from the negative pressure box 540. The suction end of the exhaust fan 550 is connected to the negative pressure box 540. The solution provided in this embodiment has three negative pressure isolation units. For ease of understanding, the three negative pressure isolation units will be referred to as the first negative pressure isolation unit 510, the second negative pressure isolation unit 520, and the third negative pressure isolation unit 530, respectively. Along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 400, the first negative pressure isolation unit 510 is located upstream of the cleaning unit 100, and the negative pressure box 540 of the first negative pressure isolation unit 510 is connected to the cleaning box 111. The first negative pressure isolation unit 510 can extract the water mist generated by the nozzles 112 spraying inside the cleaning box 111, avoiding the air humidity around the cleaning unit 100 caused by the overflow of water mist inside the cleaning box 111. The problem of excessive airflow is addressed by the following: Along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 400, the second negative pressure isolation unit 520 is located downstream of the drying unit 300, and the negative pressure box 540 of the second negative pressure isolation unit 520 is connected to the drying box 311. The second negative pressure isolation unit 520 can extract the high-temperature and high-pressure gas inside the drying box 311, avoiding the problem of excessively high temperature and excessive airflow around the drying unit 300 due to the overflow of high-temperature and high-pressure gas inside the drying box 311. Along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 400, the third negative pressure isolation unit 530 is located between the cleaning unit 100 and the drying unit 300, and both the cleaning box 111 and the drying box 311 are connected to the negative pressure box 540 of the third negative pressure isolation unit 530. The third negative pressure isolation unit 530 can extract the water mist from the side of the cleaning box 111 of the cleaning unit 100 near the drying unit 300, preventing the water mist in the cleaning box 111 from entering the drying box 311 and thus affecting the drying effect on the material tray.
[0047] In other implementation schemes, only two or one of the first negative pressure isolation unit 510, the second negative pressure isolation unit 520 and the third negative pressure isolation unit 530 may be provided, depending on the actual application requirements.
[0048] Optionally, such as Figure 5 As shown, along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 400 ( Figure 5In the x-direction of the negative pressure box 540, openings 541 are provided on both opposite sides. Each opening 541 is provided with a baffle curtain 542. The baffle curtain 542 is foldably connected to the top edge of the opening 541. The material tray that moves with the conveying mechanism 400 can open the baffle curtain 542. Specifically, the negative pressure box 540 of the first negative pressure isolation unit 510 is separated from the cleaning box 111 by the baffle curtain 542, which serves to isolate the negative pressure box 540 of the first negative pressure isolation unit 510 from the cleaning box 111. This prevents the cleaning liquid sprayed by the nozzle 112 from entering the negative pressure box 540 of the first negative pressure isolation unit 510 directly without being sprayed onto the material tray. The opening 541 of the negative pressure box 540 of the first negative pressure isolation unit 510 away from the cleaning unit 100 is also provided with a baffle curtain 542 to prevent the first negative pressure isolation unit 510 from affecting its surrounding environment. When the material tray moves in and out of the negative pressure box 540 of the first negative pressure isolation unit 510 along with the conveyor mechanism 400, the material tray can continue to move by pushing aside the partition curtain 542 because the top edge of the partition curtain 542 is flip-connected to the opening 541. The negative pressure box 540 of the second negative pressure isolation unit 520 is separated from the drying box 311 by the partition curtain 542, which serves to isolate the negative pressure box 540 of the second negative pressure isolation unit 520 from the drying box 311, preventing the high-temperature and high-pressure gas blown out by the air knife 312 from entering the negative pressure box 540 of the second negative pressure isolation unit 520 directly without reaching the material tray. The opening 541 of the negative pressure box 540 of the second negative pressure isolation unit 520 on the side away from the drying unit 300 is also equipped with a partition curtain 542 to prevent the second negative pressure isolation unit 520 from affecting its surrounding environment. When the tray moves in and out of the negative pressure box 540 of the second negative pressure isolation unit 520 along with the conveyor mechanism 400, the tray can continue to move by opening the partition curtain 542 because the top edge of the partition curtain 542 can be flipped and connected to the opening 541. The negative pressure box 540 of the third negative pressure isolation unit 530 is separated from the cleaning box 111 by a partition curtain 542, which serves as a barrier between the negative pressure box 540 and the cleaning box 111. This prevents the cleaning liquid sprayed by the nozzle 112 from entering the negative pressure box 540 of the third negative pressure isolation unit 530 directly without being sprayed onto the material tray. The other side opening 541 of the negative pressure box 540 of the third negative pressure isolation unit 530 is separated from the drying box 311 by another partition curtain 542, which serves as a barrier between the negative pressure box 540 and the drying box 311. This prevents the high-temperature and high-pressure gas blown out by the air knife 312 from entering the negative pressure box 540 of the third negative pressure isolation unit 530 directly without being blown onto the material tray. When the tray enters the negative pressure box 540 of the third negative pressure isolation unit 530 along with the conveyor mechanism 400, the tray can continue to move by opening the partition curtain 542 because the top edge of the partition curtain 542 is flip-connected to the opening 541.
[0049] Furthermore, the partition curtain 542 is a plastic curtain, such as a silicone curtain or a rubber curtain. The plastic curtain has a certain degree of softness and sealing, and can play a good partitioning role.
[0050] It should be noted that at each opening 541 of the negative pressure box 540, the number of partition curtains 542 can be one, two, five, or other numbers. When the number of partition curtains 542 is two or more, the two or more partition curtains 542 are connected sequentially at the opening 541 of the negative pressure box 540 along the conveying direction perpendicular to the conveying mechanism 400. Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the structure when two partition curtains 542 are installed at one opening 541 of the negative pressure box 540.
[0051] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the number of cleaning components 110 is at least two. For example, the number of cleaning components 110 can be two, four, or five, etc. Along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 400, the cleaning boxes 111 of at least two cleaning components 110 are connected in sequence to increase the number of spray cleanings on the material tray and improve the cleanliness of the material tray.
[0052] It should be noted that at least two cleaning components 110 can correspond to the same liquid supply unit, or at least two cleaning components 110 can correspond one-to-one with at least two liquid supply units, depending on the actual application requirements.
[0053] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, the number of drying components 310 is at least two. For example, the number of drying components 310 can be two, six, nine or ten, etc. Along the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 400, the drying boxes 311 of at least two drying components 310 are connected in sequence to increase the number of times the material tray is dried and improve the drying effect of the material tray.
[0054] It should be noted that at least two drying components 310 can correspond to the same air supply unit, or at least two drying components 310 can correspond one-to-one with at least two air supply units, depending on the actual application requirements.
[0055] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
