Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0018] Example

[0019] A cleaning device for granular refining agent production equipment, please refer to Figures 1-2The cleaning device for granular refining agent production equipment of this utility model mainly consists of the following components: a positioning component, which includes a moving part and a rotating part; a cleaning component; a lifting part; a controller; and a miniature camera. These components work closely together to achieve efficient cleaning of the production equipment.

[0020] Specifically, the core component of the moving part is the second electric telescopic rod. The output shaft of the drive motor 3 is connected to the second electric telescopic rod, providing it with power. The output rod of the second electric telescopic rod is connected to the cleaning frame 51. Through the forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor 3 and the telescopic movement of the electric telescopic rod, the cleaning assembly can be precisely moved back and forth axially within the equipment cylinder, ensuring that the cleaning assembly can cover all areas of the inner wall of the equipment.

[0021] The rotating part allows the cleaning components connected to the moving part to rotate circumferentially around the central axis of the cylinder, achieving all-around cleaning operations and avoiding cleaning dead spots.

[0022] The cleaning assembly consists of a cleaning frame 51, a cleaning frame 52, an ultrasonic transducer 53, and a first cleaning brush 54.

[0023] Specifically, the first cleaning brush 54 is securely mounted on the outside of the cleaning frame 51. Its bristles are made of a material with good wear resistance and cleaning effect, effectively scraping away dirt from the inner wall of the equipment. A through-hole 12 500 is provided on the side of the cleaning frame 51 near the first cleaning brush 54, providing a channel for the operation of the ultrasonic transducer 53.

[0024] The output end of the ultrasonic transducer 53 is connected to the working head 14 via an amplitude transformer 531. A cleaning frame 52 is installed inside the cleaning frame 51, and its output end is connected to the ultrasonic transducer 53. The ultrasonic transducer 53 can be a miniature robotic arm or an electric telescopic rod. Driven by the cleaning frame 52, the ultrasonic transducer 53 can be flexibly moved out of or into the opening 500, thereby adjusting the position and range of the ultrasonic waves according to the actual cleaning needs of the equipment's inner wall. The outer surface of the working head 532 has an arc-shaped design, which better fits the recesses of the equipment's cylinder, allowing the ultrasonic waves to propagate more effectively to the recessed areas and enhancing the cleaning effect on dirt.

[0025] Specifically, the lifting unit includes a mounting frame and a first electric telescopic rod. The mounting frame, serving as the supporting structure for the entire lifting unit, possesses sufficient strength and stability. The first electric telescopic rod is mounted on the mounting frame 1, and its output shaft is connected to the drive motor 3 via a connecting rod 21. During the cleaning process, the telescopic movement of the first electric telescopic rod 2 can drive the adjustment component and the connected cleaning component to move vertically, further expanding the cleaning range of the cleaning component and enabling it to adapt to equipment cylinders of different heights and depths, facilitating the cleaning of different parts of the equipment's inner wall.

[0026] A second cleaning brush 56 is provided at the bottom of the cleaning frame 51. Both the first cleaning brush 54 and the second cleaning brush 56 are arc-shaped. The design of the second cleaning brush 56 is mainly to effectively clean the bottom side wall of the cylinder. It works in conjunction with the first cleaning brush 54 to ensure that all side walls of the equipment cylinder are thoroughly cleaned.

[0027] A miniature camera 55 is installed in the inlet 500, which can capture real-time images of the inner wall of the equipment cylinder and transmit this information to the controller. The controller, as the core of the entire device, establishes stable electrical connections with the first electric telescopic rod 16, the drive motor 3, the second electric telescopic rod 6, the ultrasonic transducer 53, and the miniature camera 55. Based on the image information fed back by the miniature camera 55, the controller precisely controls the movement and working status of each component, achieving an automated and intelligent cleaning process.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] Before starting the cleaning operation of the granular refining agent production equipment, place this cleaning device in the appropriate position on the equipment and ensure that all components of the device are in their initial state. After the controller is activated, it first sends a command to the first electric telescopic rod of the lifting unit, causing it to extend or retract according to a preset program, thereby driving the cleaning component 2 to move vertically and adjust it to a suitable height position on the equipment cylinder, so that the cleaning component can effectively contact the area to be cleaned.

[0030] Next, the drive motor receives a signal from the controller and begins to operate, its output shaft driving the second electric telescopic rod. The telescopic movement of the second electric telescopic rod pushes the cleaning frame connected to it, thereby bringing the cleaning assembly closer to the inner wall of the equipment cylinder. During this process, a miniature camera 55 installed in the opening 500 of the cleaning frame 51 continuously captures images of the inner wall of the cylinder and transmits these image data to the controller in real time.

[0031] When the miniature camera 55 detects a depression on the inner wall of the cylinder, it immediately sends the depression's location information to the controller as an electrical signal. The controller quickly calculates and generates control commands based on this information, precisely controlling the coordinated movements of the moving, rotating, and lifting parts of the positioning assembly. The second electric telescopic rod of the moving part, in conjunction with the drive motor, achieves precise axial displacement adjustment, while the rotating part drives the cleaning assembly to rotate circumferentially. Together, they accurately move the cleaning assembly to the vicinity of the depression and adjust it to the optimal cleaning angle. Simultaneously, the controller drives the cleaning frame 52, which in turn moves the ultrasonic transducer 53, causing its working head 532 to extend from the opening 500 and approach the depression.

[0032] Subsequently, the controller activates the ultrasonic transducer 53, causing it to generate high-frequency ultrasonic waves. These ultrasonic waves propagate efficiently to the recessed area through the arc-shaped working head 532, causing the dirt particles to vibrate violently under the action of the ultrasonic waves, breaking down the adhesion between the dirt and the inner wall of the equipment and loosening it. Simultaneously, as the cleaning components move, the first cleaning brush 54 installed on the outside of the cleaning frame 51 and the second cleaning brush at the bottom mechanically scrape and clean the inner wall of the cylinder. The first cleaning brush 54, with its good wear resistance and suitable bristle material, effectively scrapes away dirt from the flat surfaces and protruding parts of the inner wall of the equipment, while the second cleaning brush 56 focuses on cleaning the dirt on the bottom side wall of the cylinder. Working together, the two brushes thoroughly remove the loosened dirt from the inner wall of the equipment.

[0033] Throughout the cleaning process, under the precise control of the controller, the cleaning components continuously move axially and rotate circumferentially along the inner wall of the equipment cylinder, performing a comprehensive and meticulous cleaning operation on the entire inner wall. A miniature camera 55 continuously monitors the cleaning effect; if any uncleaned areas are detected, feedback is immediately sent to the controller, which then instructs the device to clean again until the miniature camera 55 confirms that the inner wall of the equipment cylinder has met the cleaning standard. After cleaning is complete, the controller stops all components, the drive motor reverses, moving the cleaning components away from the inner wall of the equipment. The first and second electric telescopic rods retract, returning the device to its initial position, ready for the next cleaning task.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
