Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of utensil cleaning technology, and in particular relates to a flexible spoke tapping device. Background Technology

[0002] Current technologies for removing adhering substances from containers generally employ ultrasonic cleaning. The principle of an ultrasonic cleaner is primarily based on a transducer that converts the acoustic energy of a high-power ultrasonic source into mechanical vibrations. These ultrasonic waves are then radiated through the walls of the cleaning tank into the cleaning solution. Due to the radiation of the ultrasonic waves, microbubbles in the liquid within the tank maintain vibration under the influence of the sound waves. Another technique directly uses a reciprocating electromagnet or motor to generate mechanical vibrations, which drive a hammer to vibrate the container, forcing the adhering substances to fall off.

[0003] When using ultrasonic cleaning, the vessels need to be completely immersed in water. If multiple vessels need to be cleaned without cross-contamination, frequent cleaning is required, which is time-consuming and costly. After cleaning, the vessels are often still damp, requiring air drying, which is also time-consuming. Using a drying device would complicate the process and increase costs. When using mechanical vibration, if the vessels are fragile, such as the plastic culture dishes commonly used in the biopharmaceutical industry, forceful impact can produce noise and damage the bottom plate.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a flexible spoke striking device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model discloses a flexible spoke striking device, comprising:

[0032] Supporting institutions;

[0033] The first drive mechanism 1 is mounted on the support mechanism;

[0034] The first rotating mechanism is connected to the driving end of the first driving mechanism 1, and the first driving mechanism 1 is used to drive the first rotating mechanism to rotate along its axial direction.

[0035] Multiple flexible spokes 4 are arranged circumferentially on the first rotating mechanism, with gaps between adjacent flexible spokes 4. The flexible spokes 4 and the first rotating mechanism can be fixed in any way, such as by fastening, snapping, or sleeve connection, and this utility model does not limit this. In this embodiment, several flexible spokes 4 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the outer side of the first rotating mechanism, and the flexible spokes 4 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 3.

[0036] A clamping mechanism 8 is used to clamp a vessel 11, which is disposed within the gap formed between adjacent flexible spokes 4. A first rotating mechanism is driven by a first driving mechanism 1 to rotate along its axis, so that the multiple flexible spokes 4 can strike the vessel 11 one by one. The flexible spokes 4 contact the vessel 11 during use to knock off any adhering substances on the vessel 11.

[0037] The flexible spokes 4 can be made of rubber or other flexible materials. This utility model does not limit this. The flexible spokes 4 can flexibly strike the vessel 11, which ensures the striking force and is not easy to create a breaking point.

[0038] The vessel 11 can be any object that needs to be cleaned, such as a plastic vessel or a glass vessel. This utility model does not limit this.

[0039] This utility model uses a flexible spoke 4 to rotate and tap the vessel 11, causing the waste adhering to the vessel 11 to fall off.

[0041] Since the first rotating mechanism is equipped with a sensor baffle 6, when the rotating shaft 3 rotates at a certain angle, the sensor baffle 6 just blocks the photoelectric switch 5. Marking this position as the origin position can ensure that the vessel 11 will not directly collide with the flexible spokes 4 when it enters or exits.

[0042] According to an optional embodiment provided by this utility model, it further includes:

[0043] Lifting slide 9;

[0044] The second rotating mechanism 10 is connected to the movable end of the lifting slide 9. The clamping mechanism 8 is disposed on the second rotating mechanism 10. The second rotating mechanism 10 is a rotating platform and the clamping mechanism 8 is a rotating gripper.

[0045] The second drive mechanism is connected to the second rotating mechanism at its drive end. The second drive mechanism is used to drive the second rotating mechanism to rotate along its axial direction. The second drive mechanism is a motor.

[0046] The rotating gripper, the lifting slide 9, and the rotating platform move together to move the vessel 11 to different angles and positions in space, ensuring that the adhesive on the vessel 11 is knocked off from all directions without any blind spots.

[0047] The rotating gripper, rotating platform, and lifting slide 9 can be any model that can achieve the corresponding function in the prior art. This utility model does not limit them. In this embodiment, the specific model of the rotating gripper is Dahuan RGI-100-22-OB-M1-L5-J0-F0, the model of the lifting slide 9 is SMC LESH25LK-50B-S5CE18, and the model of the rotating platform is NUAES TDN085-10X-14-50-70-M5(W)6.

[0048] According to an optional embodiment provided by this utility model, the first drive mechanism 1 is a stepper motor.

[0049] The stepper motor can be any type of motor that can control speed and position in the existing technology. This utility model does not limit this. In this embodiment, a hybrid stepper motor is selected.

[0050] According to an optional embodiment of the present invention, the first rotating mechanism includes a rotating shaft 3 connected to the driving end of the first driving mechanism, and a plurality of flexible spokes 4 connected to the side of the rotating shaft 3.

[0051] According to an optional embodiment of the present invention, the support mechanism includes a bracket and a mounting plate 2 disposed on the bracket, and the first drive mechanism 1 is connected to the mounting plate 2.

[0052] According to an optional embodiment provided by this utility model, the flexible spoke 4 is a spoke made of rubber.
