DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the protection scope of the utility model.

[0019] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The cleaning device for plastic barrels in the embodiment comprises an operation platform 1, a material moving and rotating assembly is installed on the table top of the operation platform 1, two groups of washing and drying assemblies 3 that can extend to the table top are installed at the bottom of the operation platform 1, and four groups of limiting assemblies 2 are installed on the table top of the operation platform 1 and are distributed on both sides of the two groups of washing and drying assemblies 3.

[0020] In the above structure, when the plastic barrels are pushed, the two groups of limiting assemblies will block and limit the plastic barrels, so that the plastic barrels are pushed to be located between the two groups of washing and drying assemblies, then the other two groups of limiting assemblies will block the external plastic barrels to achieve the pre-waiting effect, then the material moving and rotating assembly will position and lift the plastic barrels to a certain height, and at the same time, the plastic barrels are rotated to cooperate with the washing and drying assemblies to complete the external cleaning and drying operation of the plastic barrels.

[0021] As Figure 2 The limiting assembly 2 comprises a side push air cylinder 27 arranged on the operation platform 1, and a side push guide roller 28 is fixed to the piston rod of the side push air cylinder 27. Figure 1 In the above structure, when the left two side push air cylinders drive the side push guide rollers to be pushed out, the external plastic barrels pushed out can be blocked by the side push guide rollers to achieve the pre-waiting effect, then the right two side push air cylinders drive the side push guide rollers to be pushed out, and the pushing path of the plastic barrels can be blocked, so that the barrel body can be accurately stopped between the two groups of washing and drying assemblies.

[0022] Further illustration, the operating platform 1 is fixed with four plates 21, and slidingly connected with four push plates 26, the plate 21 is installed with the push-out cylinder 22 connected with the corresponding push plate 26, and the side push cylinder 27 is installed on the corresponding push plate 26. The push plate is moved by the push-out cylinder, and the side push cylinder is also followed, so that the position of the side push roller can be changed according to the demand to block the plastic bucket.

[0023] Further illustration, the plate 21 is fixed with a guide rod 23 on the same side of the push-out cylinder 22, the piston rod of the push-out cylinder 22 is fixed with a front plate 24 penetrating the guide rod 23, the front plate 24 is installed with a push-out cylinder 25, and the piston rod of the push-out cylinder 25 is fixed with the push plate 26. When the push-out cylinder is pushed out to the limit, when it is still necessary to adjust according to the size of the plastic bucket, the push-out cylinder is started to push the push plate out, so that the path of the push-out can be extended, and the guide rod plays a role in the stability of the push-out cylinder.

[0024] As Figure 1 , the material moving rotating assembly includes a belt type horizontal moving device 4 fixed on the operating platform 1, the moving end of the belt type horizontal moving device 4 is fixed with a moving frame 5, the moving frame 5 is installed with a belt type vertical moving device 6, the moving end of the belt type vertical moving device 6 is fixed with a side frame 7, the upper plate of the side frame 7 is installed with a stepping motor 8, the bottom of the lower plate is rotatably connected with a rotating shaft 9 fixed with the shaft end of the stepping motor 8, the bottom of the rotating shaft 9 is fixed with an axle plate 10, the top of the other end of the axle plate 10 is installed with a driving motor 11, and the driving end of the driving motor 11 is fixed with a clamping cylinder 12. Through the cooperation of the belt type vertical moving device and the belt type vertical moving device, the clamping cylinder can be adjusted to move in X and Z axis direction, the rotating plate can drive the clamping cylinder to move into the barrel mouth by driving the rotating shaft to rotate through the cooperation of the stepping motor, and the barrel body can be positioned by the clamping cylinder, and the barrel body can be rotated to improve the cleaning and drying effect and efficiency during the cleaning and drying process by driving the clamping cylinder to rotate through the driving motor. At the same time, it can also be combined with the above-mentioned that the barrel body can be moved out to another process after the barrel body is cleaned.

[0025] As Figure 3The washing and drying assembly 3 includes a base plate 31 fixed to the bottom of the operating table 1. An upper cylinder 32 is installed at the bottom of the base plate 31 and four columns 33 are inserted through it. The piston rod of the upper cylinder 32 is fixed to an upper plate 34 connected to the four columns 33. A counter-push cylinder 36 is installed at the top of the upper plate 34. A water spray plate 37 is installed at the opposite end of the piston rods of the two counter-push cylinders 36. Two support plates 35 are formed at the bottom of the upper plate 34 and four upper columns 39 are inserted through it. An extension cylinder 38 is installed on each support plate 35. An upper plate 313 connected to the four upper columns 39 is fixed between the piston rods of the two extension cylinders 38. A counter-push cylinder 310 is installed at the top of the upper plate 313. A wind plate 311 is installed on the piston rod of the counter-push cylinder 310. A water suction roller 312 is installed between the two sides of the wind plate 311. After the push cylinder drives the spray plate to the appropriate position, the barrel is cleaned. With the cooperation of the upper push cylinder, the upper plate is pushed out, which drives the spray plate to clean the barrel surface from bottom to top and then from top to bottom. During the cleaning process, the push cylinder and the extension cylinder work together to move the suction roller away from the spray plate. After the spraying is completed, the push cylinder drives the air plate to push out until the suction roller is in contact with the barrel. Then the extension cylinder retracts, and the air plate is also activated during the process. Therefore, the suction roller can absorb the water on the surface of the barrel once, and the air plate dries the barrel from top to bottom. Finally, the barrel is rotated by the material transfer and rotation components to complete the overall barrel cleaning.

[0026] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0027] When the push-out cylinder and the top-push cylinder move the top-push plate, the side push-guide roller moves to the appropriate position. Then, the side push-guide roller is pushed out by the side push-push cylinder, thus blocking the incoming tub between the two sets of washing and drying components. It also blocks and limits externally delivered tubs. Then, the belt-driven lateral movement device, the belt-driven vertical movement device, and the stepper motor drive the rotating shaft plate to rotate, extending the clamping cylinder into the tub. The clamping cylinder opens to position the tub. After rising through the belt-driven vertical movement device, the top-push cylinder and the extension cylinder push out together. The suction pipe is moved away from the spray plate, which continues to rise. At the same time, the push cylinder pushes the suction pipe closer to the barrel for water spraying and cleaning, moving from bottom to top and then from top to bottom. As the suction pipe moves downward, the top cylinder also moves closer to the barrel via the air plate, causing the suction roller to come into contact with the barrel. The top cylinder and the extension cylinder move downward, allowing the suction roller to absorb excess water first, and then the air plate blows it dry to improve the drying effect. Then, the drive motor drives the clamping cylinder to rotate, which in turn rotates the barrel to another direction. The above process is repeated to complete the cleaning and drying on the other side. Finally, the barrel is removed by the material transfer and rotation assembly.
