Clean water is introduced into the rotating tube 6; four rubber hoses 9 are symmetrically connected to the rotating tube 6, with the two rubber hoses 9 on the same side arranged vertically; a connecting tube 10 connects the two rubber hoses 9 on the same side, and water outlet holes 1001 are provided on the connecting tube 10 at intervals so that the clean water in the rotating tube 6 can be discharged from the water outlet holes 1001 through the rubber hoses 9 and the connecting tube 10; a wiping strip 11 is connected at intervals on the side of the two connecting tubes 10 that are far apart from each other, and the wiping strip 11 is used to clean the inner wall of the drinking cup 101; a wiping ball 12 is connected at intervals to the bottom of the rotating tube 6 and the lower rubber hose 9, and the wiping ball 12 is used to clean the inner bottom of the drinking cup 101; a sealing mechanism is provided on the connecting plate 5 to seal the top of the drinking cup 101 to prevent the clean water in the drinking cup 101 from splashing out.
[0022] See Figure 1 As shown, the drive mechanism includes a servo motor 701 and a geared motor 702; the servo motor 701 is installed on the upper right side of the support platform 2, and the output shaft of the servo motor 701 is connected to the upper right side of the support frame 3; the geared motor 702 is installed on the top left side of the connecting plate 5, and the output shaft of the geared motor 702 is connected to the top of the rotating tube 6.
[0023] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the water conveying mechanism includes a water pump 801, a sleeve 802, and a water conveying pipe 803; the water pump 801 is installed on the top right side of the connecting plate 5; the upper outer side of the rotating pipe 6 is rotatably connected to the sleeve 802, and the outlet of the water pump 801 is connected to the sleeve 802 through the water conveying pipe 803.
[0024] See Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the sealing mechanism includes a movable rod 1301, a sealing plate 1302, a spring 1303, a movable sleeve 1304, and a drain valve 14. Two movable rods 1301 are slidably connected to the left side of the connecting plate 5. Both movable rods 1301 are located to the right of the rotating tube 6. The sealing plate 1302 is connected between the bottom ends of the two movable rods 1301. The sealing plate 1302 is used to cover the top of the drinking cup 101 for sealing. Springs 1303 are connected between the upper sides of the two movable rods 1301 and the top of the connecting plate 5. The movable sleeve 1304 is rotatably connected to the middle of the sealing plate 1302. The rotating tube 6 slides through the movable sleeve 1304. A drain valve 14 is provided on the top left side of the sealing plate 1302. The drain valve 14 is used to drain the water in the drinking cup 101.
[0025] See Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a limiting ring 15; a limiting ring 15 is provided on the lower left side of the support frame 3, and the limiting ring 15 is used to limit the drinking cup 101 placed on the support frame 3.
[0026] In use, first connect the water source to the inlet of the water pump 801. Then, the intelligent robot controls the robotic arm to clamp the drinking cup 101 and place it on the support frame 3, ensuring that the drinking cup 101 is within the limiting ring 15, so that the limiting ring 15 limits the drinking cup 101. Then, control the electric push rod 4 to drive the connecting plate 5 to move downwards, causing the connecting plate 5 to move the rotating tube 6, rubber hose 9, connecting tube 10, wiping strip 11, wiping ball 12, movable rod 1301, and sealing plate 1302 downwards, thereby causing the rotating tube 6, rubber hose 9, connecting tube 10, wiping strip 11, and wiping ball 12 to enter the drinking cup 101, and making the wiping ball 12 contact the bottom of the drinking cup 101. When the sealing plate 1302 contacts the top of the drinking cup 101, the sealing plate 1302... The top of the drinking cup 101 is sealed, and the top of the drinking cup 101 prevents the sealing plate 1302 and the movable rod 1301 from moving further downward. Then, when the connecting plate 5 continues to move downward, the spring 1303 is stretched. At this time, the elastic force of the spring 1303 applies pressure to the movable rod 1301 and the sealing plate 1302, which can press the sealing plate 1302 tightly against the top of the drinking cup 101. Then, the water pump 801 is controlled to draw clean water into the sleeve 802 through the water supply pipe 803, so that the clean water in the sleeve 802 flows into the rotating pipe 6, the rubber hose 9 and the connecting pipe 10 in sequence, so that the clean water in the connecting pipe 10 is discharged from the water outlet 1001 into the drinking cup 101 until an appropriate amount of clean water is filled into the drinking cup 101. Then, the reduction motor 702 is controlled to drive the rotating pipe. Rotating the rotating tube 6 causes the rubber hose 9, connecting tube 10, wiping strip 11, and wiping ball 12 to rotate, thereby wiping the inner bottom of the drinking cup 101 with the wiping ball 12. Simultaneously, as the rubber hose 9, connecting tube 10, and wiping strip 11 rotate, the centrifugal force on the connecting tube 10 and wiping strip 11 increases. When the centrifugal force on the connecting tube 10 and wiping strip 11 exceeds the elastic force of the rubber hose 9, the connecting tube 10 and wiping strip 11 will pull the rubber hose 9, causing it to deform. The wiping strip 11 will also gradually approach the inner wall of the drinking cup 101 until it contacts the inner wall, thus wiping and cleaning the inner wall of the drinking cup 101. In this way, automatic cleaning of the drinking cup 101 can be achieved. The inner side of cup 101 is cleaned. After the inner side of cup 101 is cleaned, the geared motor 702 is controlled to drive the rotating tube 6 to stop rotating, causing the rubber hose 9, connecting tube 10, wiping strip 11, and wiping ball 12 to also stop rotating. As the rubber hose 9, connecting tube 10, and wiping strip 11 stop rotating, the centrifugal force on the connecting tube 10 and wiping strip 11 decreases. When the centrifugal force on the connecting tube 10 and wiping strip 11 is less than the elasticity of the rubber hose 9, the rubber hose 9 will gradually return to its original shape. At the same time, the rubber hose 9 will pull the connecting tube 10 and wiping strip 11 away from the inner wall of cup 101, causing the wiping strip 11 to separate from the inner wall of cup 101. Then, the servo motor 701 is controlled to drive the support frame 3 to rotate 180 degrees.The support bracket 3 rotates the drinking cup 101 180 degrees so that the mouth of the drinking cup 101 faces the water tank 1. Then, the drain valve 14 is opened to drain the water in the drinking cup 101 into the water tank 1 for collection. After the water in the drinking cup 101 is drained, the drain valve 14 is closed. Then, the servo motor 701 drives the support bracket 3 to rotate 180 degrees in the opposite direction to reset, so that the support bracket 3 drives the drinking cup 101 to rotate 180 degrees in the opposite direction to reset. Then, the electric push rod 4 drives the connecting plate 5 to move upward to reset, so that the connecting plate 5 drives the rotating tube 6, rubber hose 9, connecting tube 10, and wiping strip. The wiping strip 11 and wiping ball 12 move upwards to reset, thereby disengaging the rotating tube 6, rubber hose 9, connecting tube 10, wiping strip 11, and wiping ball 12 from the inside of the drinking cup 101, separating the wiping ball 12 from the bottom of the drinking cup 101. Simultaneously, as the connecting plate 5 moves upwards to reset, the spring 1303 gradually resets. Once the spring 1303 returns to its original position, it pulls the movable rod 1301 and the sealing plate 1302 upwards to reset, separating the sealing plate 1302 from the top of the drinking cup 101. Then, the robotic arm controlled by the intelligent cleaning robot removes the cleaned drinking cup 101 from the support frame 3.
[0027] The above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
