[0027] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides an automatic pressure cooker cleaning device, including: a base 1; an automatic cleaning mechanism 2 disposed on the upper surface of the base 1; and a limiting mechanism 3 disposed inside the base 1 to fix and limit pressure cookers of different sizes.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the automatic cleaning mechanism 2 includes two support frames 201, which are fixedly connected to the base 1. Hydraulic cylinders 202 are fixedly connected to the surface of each support frame 201. Moving rods 203 are fixedly connected to the output ends of the two hydraulic cylinders 202. A drive motor 204 is fixedly connected to the surface of the moving rods 203. A transmission shaft 209 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 204. A three-jaw bracket 210 is fixedly mounted at the end of the transmission shaft 209. Brush bristles 211 are evenly distributed and fixedly connected to the surface of the three-jaw bracket 210. A press switch 216 is fixedly connected to the surface of the base 1. The press switch 216 is electrically connected to the hydraulic cylinders 202 and the drive motor 204. This mechanism is used when cleaning pressure cookers, especially in kitchens where large-scale cleaning of pressure cookers is required. When the pressure cooker is being cleaned, it is pressed against the pressure switch 216. This activates the hydraulic cylinder 202, drive motor 204, and water pump 207, which are controlled by the data panel. The hydraulic cylinder 202 pushes the moving rod 203, causing the three-jaw support 210 to move. When the three-jaw support 210 moves into the pressure cooker, its bristles 211 come into contact with the inner wall of the pressure cooker. At this time, the drive motor 204 drives the three-jaw support 210 to rotate via the transmission shaft 209, causing the bristles 211 on the three-jaw support 210 to rub against the inner wall of the pressure cooker, thus cleaning the inner wall. After a set program and a certain amount of time, the oil stains on the inner wall of the pressure cooker are cleaned. The drive motor 204 stops running, and the hydraulic cylinder 202 moves the moving rod... 203 is moved until the three-claw support 210 is no longer inside the pressure cooker. At this point, the operator can remove the pressure cooker from the base 1 and place the unwashed pressure cooker back on for cleaning. A water tank 205 is fixedly connected to the surface of the moving rod 203, and a water pump 207 is fixedly connected to the surface of the water tank 205. The outlet of the water pump 207 is fixed and connected to a water pipe support 206, and several nozzles 208 are fixed and connected to the surface of the water pipe support 206. At this time, the water pump 207 draws the washing liquid from the water tank 205, and through the water pipe support 206, the washing liquid is sprayed onto the inner wall of the pressure cooker by the nozzles 208. A plug rod 212 is fixedly connected to the end of the drive shaft 209. A slot 213 is opened on the surface of the three-claw support 210. The size of the slot 213 is... The size of the three-jaw support 210 is matched with that of the insertion rod 212, and the surface of the insertion rod 212 has a fixing hole. The inner wall of the three-jaw support 210 is threaded with a lead screw 214, which is threaded to the insertion rod 212. The size of the lead screw 214 is matched with the size of the fixing hole. When cleaning pressure cookers of different sizes, the lead screw 214 is rotated to disengage from the fixing hole, and the operator pulls the three-jaw support 210 out of the insertion rod 212. Then, different sizes of three-jaw supports 210 are inserted into the insertion rod 212, and the lead screw 214 is rotated until it is inserted into the fixing hole. Different sizes of three-jaw supports 210 can be replaced to clean the pressure cooker. The inner wall of the three-jaw support 210 is rotatably connected with a ball bearing 215, so that when the three-jaw support 210 is pressed against the inside of the pressure cooker for cleaning, it can be used to clean the pressure cooker.This reduces the damage to the inner wall of the pressure cooker caused by the three-claw support 210 during rotation.

[0030] like Figures 5 to 6 As shown, the limiting mechanism 3 includes two bidirectional screws 31, which are rotatably connected to the base 1. A groove 32 is provided on the surface of the base 1. A screw block 33 is fixedly connected to the end of each bidirectional screw 31. A slider 34 is threaded onto the arc surface of each bidirectional screw 31. Two torsion springs 37 are fixedly connected to the surface of each slider 34. An L-shaped clamp 35 is fixedly connected to the end of each torsion spring 37. The operator rotates the bidirectional screws 31 by rotating the screw block 33, thereby adjusting the distance between the two sliders 34. This allows the L-shaped clamp 35 to limit pressure cookers of different sizes. After adjusting the L-shaped clamp 35, the operator places the pressure cooker on the base. At the center of the four L-shaped clamps 35 in the groove 1, as the pressure cooker presses on the L-shaped clamps 35, the torsion spring 37 contracts under force, causing the L-shaped clamps 35 to rotate, thus securing the pressure cooker between the four L-shaped clamps 35. A round rod 38 is fixedly connected to the surface of the slider 34, and the round rod 38 is rotatably connected to the L-shaped clamps 35. The torsion spring 37 is sleeved on the arc surface of the round rod 38. When the torsion spring 37 deforms under force, the round rod 38 can support the torsion spring 37 and also prevent the rotation point of the L-shaped clamps 35 from being misaligned. A rubber pad 36 is fixedly connected to the surface of the L-shaped clamps 35 to increase the friction between the L-shaped clamps 35 and the pressure cooker, making the pressure cooker more stable.

[0031] In this embodiment of the invention, when pressure cookers need to be cleaned, especially when a large number of pressure cookers need to be cleaned in the kitchen, the worker rotates the bidirectional screw 31 by turning the screw block 33, thereby adjusting the distance between the two sliders 34. This allows the L-shaped clamps 35 to limit pressure cookers of different sizes. After adjusting the L-shaped clamps 35, the worker places the pressure cooker in the middle of the four L-shaped clamps 35 in the groove of the base 1. As the pressure cooker presses on the L-shaped clamps 35, the torsion spring 37 contracts under force, and the L-shaped clamps 35 rotate, thus locking the pressure cooker in the middle of the four L-shaped clamps 35. At this time, the pressure cooker presses on the press switch 216, thereby controlling the hydraulic cylinder 202, the drive motor 204, and the water pump 207 under the control of the data board. The hydraulic cylinder 202 pushes the moving rod 203 to move, thereby moving the three-jaw bracket 210. When the three-claw support 210 moves into the pressure cooker, the water pump 207 draws the washing liquid from the water tank 205 and delivers it through the water pipe support 206. The washing liquid is then sprayed onto the inner wall of the pressure cooker by the nozzle 208, and the bristles 211 on its surface adhere to the inner wall of the pressure cooker. At this time, the drive motor 204 drives the three-claw support 210 to rotate through the transmission shaft 209, so that the bristles 211 on the three-claw support 210 rub against the inner wall of the pressure cooker, thus cleaning the inner wall of the pressure cooker. After a certain period of brushing, the oil stains on the inner wall of the pressure cooker are cleaned after the set program. The drive motor 204 stops running, and the hydraulic cylinder 202 drives the moving rod 203 to move until the three-claw support 210 is no longer inside the pressure cooker. At this time, the staff can remove the pressure cooker from the base 1 and put the uncleaned pressure cooker back on to continue cleaning.

[0032] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
