Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of nozzle device technology, and in particular to a cleaning mechanism and cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] In livestock farms such as pigsties, cattle sheds, and sheep sheds, sprinklers are commonly used to clean the walls, floors, and ceilings. One cleaning mechanism known to the applicant involves a fixed support frame inside a water storage tank. A rotating structure is connected to the top of the support frame, and a water pump is fixed to the rotating structure. A water pipe connected to the pump extends into the water storage tank, while the sprinkler head is located outside the tank and connected to the pump via a conduit. During use, both the sprinkler head and the water pipe in the tank rotate under the influence of the rotating structure. This structure requires the water storage tank and sprinkler head to move synchronously, resulting in a large overall size of the spraying device, making it inconvenient to carry and increasing the complexity of its use.
[0003] Therefore, how to design a cleaning mechanism and cleaning device that enables the water storage device to perform spraying and cleaning without having to move synchronously with the nozzle is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the defects and deficiencies in the existing technology by providing a cleaning mechanism and cleaning device, so that the water storage device can perform spraying and cleaning work without following the movement of the nozzle, thereby reducing the complexity of the structure.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0006] This utility model provides a cleaning mechanism, including a nozzle, a conduit, a rotary joint, a transmission assembly, and a drive assembly. The transmission assembly includes a drive wheel and a driven wheel that rotates under the drive wheel's drive. The drive assembly is connected to the drive wheel and is used to drive the drive wheel to rotate. The nozzle is mounted on the conduit, and the driven wheel is connected to the conduit and is used to drive the conduit and the nozzle to rotate.
[0007] The rotary joint is installed on the other side of the driven wheel, and the rotary joint is connected to a water source through a water pipe.
[0008] Preferably, the driving wheel and the driven wheel are connected by a conveyor belt.
[0009] Preferably, a tensioning wheel for adjusting the tension of the conveyor belt is also provided between the driving wheel and the driven wheel.
[0010] Preferably, the tensioning wheel is mounted on a second drive assembly capable of moving up and down along a conveying direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt to tension the conveyor belt to varying degrees.
[0011] Preferably, the catheter is a rigid structure with adjustable length.
[0012] Preferably, the conduit includes a straight pipe and a bend, and at least one straight pipe and one bend are provided. The straight pipes are detachably connected to each other, to each other, and to each other. One of the straight pipes is detachably connected to the driven wheel, and one of the bends is detachably connected to the nozzle.
[0013] Preferably, the end of the rotary joint away from the driven wheel is detachably connected to a metal pipe that is not easily deformed, and the metal pipe is connected to a water source through a water pipe.
[0014] Preferably, it further includes a support frame, which has a first through hole for supporting the metal tube, through which the metal tube passes, and the inner contour of the first through hole is adapted to the outer contour of the metal tube.
[0015] This utility model also provides a cleaning device, including the cleaning mechanism and a body. The body has an internal cavity, and the rotary joint, the transmission assembly, and the drive assembly are all placed inside the cavity. A second through hole is provided on the side wall of the body, and one end of the conduit with the nozzle installed passes through the second through hole and is rotatably connected to the second through hole. The body is also provided with a water pipe connector connected to the water source, and one end of the water pipe connector placed inside the cavity is connected to the rotary joint.
[0016] The present invention achieves the following technical advantages over the prior art:
[0017] 1. This utility model improves the cleaning area and efficiency by installing a conduit and a nozzle at one end of the driven wheel, allowing the nozzle to rotate and clean the ceiling, floor, walls, and other parts of the space to be cleaned. A rotary joint is installed at the other end of the driven wheel, which is connected to a water source via a water pipe. This eliminates the need for the water pipe and water source to rotate with the driven wheel. As a result, when the water pipe is long enough, the water source does not need to move with the cleaning mechanism, thus achieving miniaturization and portability of the cleaning mechanism.
[0018] The other technical solutions of this utility model have achieved the following technical effects compared with the prior art:
[0019] 2. This utility model extends the service life of the cleaning mechanism by installing a tensioning wheel on a second drive assembly that can move up and down along a direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt, thereby tensioning conveyor belts with different degrees of tightness.
[0020] 3. This utility model detachably connects a non-deformable metal pipe to the end of the rotary joint away from the driven wheel, and sets up a support frame to support the metal pipe, so that the metal pipe and the rotary joint are at the same horizontal position. This reduces the stress at the connection between the rotary joint and the driven wheel, and reduces the problem of damage to the connection between the rotary joint and the driven wheel caused by vibration, shaking or other factors, affecting the connection strength and sealing performance, thereby further improving the service life of the cleaning mechanism.

[0027] 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.
[0028] 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.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a cleaning mechanism, including a nozzle 1, a conduit, a rotary joint 5, a transmission assembly, and a drive assembly 10. The transmission assembly includes a drive wheel 12 and a driven wheel 4 that rotates under the drive of the drive wheel 12. The drive assembly 10 is connected to the drive wheel 12 and is used to drive the drive wheel 12 to rotate. The driven wheel 4 is connected to the conduit, and the nozzle 1 is installed on the conduit. The driven wheel 4 is used to drive the conduit and the nozzle 1 to rotate. A rotary joint 5 is installed on the other side of the driven wheel 4. The fixed part of the rotary joint 5 is connected to a water source through a water pipe. The rotating part of the rotary joint 5 is connected to the driven wheel 4. The driven wheel 4 has a through hole inside for connecting the rotating part and the conduit, so that water in the water source is guided to the nozzle 1 through the rotary joint 5, and the water pipe and water source do not need to rotate with the driven wheel 4.
[0030] The driving wheel 12 and the driven wheel 4 can be meshing gears or rollers connected by a transmission structure. In an exemplary embodiment, both the driving wheel 12 and the driven wheel 4 are rollers, and the two rollers are connected by a conveyor belt 11. A tensioning wheel 9 for adjusting the tension of the conveyor belt 11 is also provided between the driving wheel 12 and the driven wheel 4. The tensioning wheel 9 is mounted on a second drive assembly that can move up and down along a direction perpendicular to the movement of the conveyor belt 11 to tension the conveyor belt 11 to different degrees. The second drive assembly can be an assembly that can move up and down automatically, such as a screw and nut structure, a hydraulic cylinder / pneumatic cylinder structure, a linear motor, etc., or it can be an assembly that moves up and down manually, such as having several holes of different heights opened on a vertical plate extending in the vertical direction, and adjusting the up and down position of the tensioning wheel 9 by installing it in different holes. As the usage time increases, the conveyor belt 11 will become loose. At this time, adjusting the position of the tensioning wheel 9 in the height direction will re-tension the loosened conveyor belt 11, thereby extending the service life of the conveyor belt 11 and the cleaning mechanism.
[0031] To adjust the water jet distance to accommodate spaces of varying heights to be cleaned (where the space to be cleaned can be a livestock shed such as a pigsty, cattle shed, chicken coop, or sheepfold, and the height of the space to be cleaned refers to the distance between the top surface of the space to be cleaned and the ground surface), this application sets the conduit as a rigid structure with adjustable length. The length can be adjusted by setting the conduit as a freely extendable structure, such as a handle similar to an automatic folding umbrella or a retractable pointer, or by setting the conduit as other structures. In an exemplary embodiment, the conduit includes a straight pipe 3 and a bent pipe 2, with at least one straight pipe 3 and one bent pipe 2. Straight pipes 3 can be detachably connected to each other, straight pipes 3 and bent pipes 2, and bent pipes 2 can be detachably connected to each other. By changing the number of straight pipes 3 and / or bent pipes 2, the length of the conduit can be changed. One of the straight pipes 3 is detachably connected to the driven wheel 4, making it easy to replace when the straight pipe 3 and / or driven wheel 4 malfunctions. One of the bent pipes 2 is detachably connected to the nozzle 1 to increase the spray range when the nozzle 1 rotates.
[0032] The end of the rotary joint 5 furthest from the driven wheel 4 is detachably connected to a non-deformable metal pipe 8, which is connected to a water source via a water pipe. A support frame 7 is also included, with a first through hole 6 for supporting the metal pipe 8. The metal pipe 8 passes through the first through hole 6, and the inner contour of the first through hole 6 matches the outer contour of the metal pipe 8. By using a non-deformable metal pipe 8 and fixing its position through the first through hole 6, the connection between the rotary joint 5 and the driven wheel 4 can be prevented from being subjected to excessive stress due to vibrations or shaking of the device itself or external factors, thus avoiding any impact on the connection strength and sealing performance.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, this utility model also provides a cleaning device, including the structure for driving the nozzle 1 to rotate as described above, and also includes a body 13. The body 13 has a cavity 15 inside, and the rotary joint 5, transmission assembly and drive assembly 10 are all placed in the cavity 15. A second through hole 14 is provided on the side wall of the body 13. One end of the conduit on which the nozzle 1 is installed passes through the second through hole 14 and is rotatably connected to the second through hole 14. In an exemplary embodiment, a bearing is installed in the second through hole 14, and the conduit is rotatably connected to the second through hole 14 through the bearing to reduce the friction between the conduit and the body 13 and extend its service life. The body 13 is also provided with a water pipe connector connected to a water source. One end of the water pipe connector placed in the cavity 15 is connected to the rotary joint 5. In an exemplary embodiment, a metal pipe 8 is connected to the water pipe connector, and the end of the water pipe connector placed outside the cavity 15 is connected to the water source through a water pipe.
[0034] The method of using this cleaning device includes the following:
[0035] S1. Place the cleaning device in the space to be cleaned, and adjust the distance between the nozzle 1 and a certain area to be cleaned to ensure that the water flow can reach the farthest point of the area to be cleaned.
[0036] The space to be cleaned has at least two areas to be cleaned;
[0037] S2. Start the drive unit, turn on the water source, and spray the area to be cleaned.
[0038] The drive components, such as motors, are connected to the control device via signals to automatically open or close the drive components. The water pipe connected to the water source is equipped with valves, which can be manual valves or electric valves connected to the control device via signals. The water supply is supplied or disconnected by opening and closing the valves.
[0039] S3. After spraying a certain area to be cleaned, move the cleaning device to the next area to be cleaned and continue spraying. Repeat S3 until all areas to be cleaned are sprayed.
[0040] The cleaning device includes a moving part, which is connected to a control device via a signal. The control device can control the moving speed and moving route of the cleaning device.
[0041] S4. Turn off the drive components and water supply, remove the cleaning device, and the cleaning is complete.
[0042] It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, it is obvious that this utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this utility model. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Therefore, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this utility model, and no reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
