Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of battery production equipment technology, and in particular to a cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Electrodes are a crucial component of lithium-ion batteries, used to store and release electrical energy. The manufacturing process of electrodes involves coating them with an electrode slurry to form a layer of active material. This electrode slurry has a certain viscosity, and some of it may adhere to the inner wall of the transport pipes during transport. Therefore, the transport pipes need to be cleaned regularly to prevent blockages.

[0003] In related technologies, the conveying pipeline is usually disassembled and cleaned manually, which has problems such as low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a cleaning device that can effectively improve the cleaning effect and cleaning efficiency.

[0005] This application provides a cleaning device, including a cleaning structure. The cleaning structure includes: a cleaning assembly, including a drying component and multiple cleaning components, the cleaning components being used to rinse the inner wall of the part to be cleaned, the drying component being disposed downstream of the multiple cleaning components, the drying component being used to dry the part to be cleaned; a brush assembly, at least one of the multiple cleaning components being rotatably connected to the brush assembly, the brush assembly being used to brush away dirt from the inner wall of the part to be cleaned; and a liquid supply assembly, including a liquid storage tank and multiple liquid supply components, each cleaning component being connected to the liquid storage tank by a liquid supply component, the liquid supply component guiding cleaning liquid from the liquid storage tank to the cleaning component.

[0006] The cleaning apparatus provided in this application includes a cleaning structure, which comprises a cleaning component, a brush assembly, and a liquid supply assembly. The cleaning component includes a drying component and multiple cleaning components arranged sequentially for rinsing the inner wall of the workpiece to be cleaned. The drying component is located downstream of the cleaning components and is used to dry the rinsed workpiece. One of the cleaning components is rotatably connected to the brush assembly. As the cleaning component rinses the workpiece, the brush assembly rotates relative to the cleaning component, brushing away dirt from the inner wall of the workpiece. The liquid supply assembly includes a liquid storage tank and multiple liquid supply components. Each cleaning component is connected to the liquid storage tank via a liquid supply component, which guides the cleaning liquid from the storage tank to the cleaning component, allowing the cleaning component to spray the cleaning liquid onto the workpiece. Therefore, by rinsing the inner wall of the workpiece with the cleaning components, brushing away dirt with the brush assembly, and drying with the drying component, the cleaning effect and efficiency can be effectively improved.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the cleaning apparatus provided in this application has an adjustable length dimension for the cleaning component to match the length dimension of the component to be cleaned.

[0008] By making the length of the cleaning components adjustable, the versatility and flexibility of the cleaning device can be improved.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device provided in this application includes a sealing element and a cylindrical body. One end of the cylindrical body is connected to a liquid supply element, and the other end is connected to the sealing element. The cylindrical body has multiple spray nozzles for spraying cleaning liquid.

[0010] By connecting one end of the cylindrical body to the liquid supply unit, a stable supply of cleaning fluid to the cylindrical body can be ensured. The sealing element, located at the other end of the cylindrical body, prevents insufficient pressure of the cleaning fluid within the cylindrical body.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device provided in this application has a cylindrical body comprising multiple connecting segments, at least two of which are detachably connected to each other.

[0012] With the above settings, the length of the cylindrical body can be flexibly adjusted according to the length of the item to be cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device provided in this application further includes a housing with multiple liquid collection tanks and multiple material discharge ports. The liquid collection tanks and material discharge ports are arranged correspondingly, and the cleaning component and the drying component are respectively arranged in one of the liquid collection tanks.

[0014] By setting up a collection tank and a discharge port, the cleaning liquid during the washing and drying process of the cleaning components can be recovered into the corresponding collection tank.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device provided in this application further includes a waste liquid tank, a first connecting pipe, and multiple drain pipes. The drain pipes are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the collection tank, and each drain pipe is connected to the waste liquid tank through the first connecting pipe.

[0016] The above setup facilitates the discharge of cleaning fluid from the collection tank to the waste liquid tank.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device provided in this application includes a liquid supply component comprising a second connection passage, a first valve, and a first pipeline and a second pipeline connected to the first valve. The first pipeline is equipped with a drive pump for drawing cleaning fluid, so that the first pipeline guides the cleaning fluid to the cleaning component. The second pipeline is used to communicate with a downstream collection tank. Each first valve is connected to a storage tank through a second connecting pipeline.

[0018] Therefore, by switching control of the first valve, the cleaning fluid recovered in the second pipeline can be guided to the cleaning component through the first pipeline, or the cleaning fluid in the storage tank can be guided to the cleaning component through the first pipeline, thereby improving the utilization rate of the cleaning fluid.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device provided in this application is equipped with filters in both the second pipeline and the second connecting pipeline.

[0020] This setup allows for the filtration and purification of the cleaning solution, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning device on the parts to be cleaned.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device provided in this application has at least a first cleaning component and at least a second cleaning component among a plurality of cleaning components, wherein the first cleaning component is configured in a one-to-one correspondence with the brush assembly, and the second cleaning component is configured downstream of the first cleaning component.

[0022] Therefore, by using the first cleaning component, the brush assembly, and the second cleaning component together, the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect can be improved.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the cleaning apparatus provided in this application includes multiple cleaning sections arranged at intervals to simultaneously rinse the inner walls of multiple items to be cleaned.

[0024] With the above settings, the cleaning device can clean multiple items at the same time, thereby effectively improving cleaning efficiency.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the cleaning apparatus provided in this application includes a drying head and an air supply line communicating with the drying head, the air supply line being used to communicate with an air source.

[0026] By setting up an air supply pipeline to provide a stable airflow to the drying head, the air is blown onto the parts to be cleaned to achieve the drying of the parts.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device provided in this application includes a liquid storage tank comprising a liquid level monitoring element, a second valve, and a feeding port. The liquid level monitoring element is used to monitor the liquid level of the cleaning fluid in the liquid storage tank, and the second valve is used to regulate the air pressure in the liquid storage tank.

[0028] By installing a liquid level monitoring device, changes in the cleaning fluid level can be monitored, ensuring that the cleaning fluid in the storage tank remains sufficient. A second valve can regulate the air pressure within the storage tank to control the smooth delivery of the cleaning fluid. Furthermore, a feed port facilitates the addition of cleaning fluid to the storage tank.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the cleaning device provided in this application further includes a sealing structure. The cleaning structure is disposed within the sealing structure, and the sealing structure is provided with an exhaust pipe and a fresh air pipe to prevent the accumulation of cleaning liquid odor within the cleaning structure.

[0030] The above settings can reduce the safety risks caused by the accumulation of cleaning fluid odors.

[0031] The above description is merely an overview of the technical solution of this application.

[0053] Electrodes are a crucial component of lithium-ion batteries, used to store and release electrical energy. The manufacturing process of electrodes involves coating them with an electrode slurry to form an active material layer. This electrode slurry has a certain viscosity, and some of it adheres to the inner wall of the transport pipe during transport. Therefore, the transport pipe needs to be cleaned regularly to prevent blockages. In related technologies, the transport pipe is typically disassembled and cleaned manually, which suffers from low efficiency.

[0054] In view of this, the cleaning apparatus provided in this application includes a cleaning structure, which comprises a cleaning component, a brush assembly, and a liquid supply assembly. The cleaning component includes a drying component and multiple cleaning components arranged sequentially for rinsing the inner wall of the part to be cleaned. The drying component is located downstream of the multiple cleaning components and is used to dry the rinsed part to be cleaned. One of the multiple cleaning components is rotatably connected to the brush assembly. When the cleaning component rinses the part to be cleaned, the brush assembly rotates relative to the cleaning component, thus brushing away dirt from the inner wall of the part to be cleaned. The liquid supply assembly includes a liquid storage tank and multiple liquid supply components. Each cleaning component is connected to the liquid storage tank via a liquid supply component, which guides the cleaning liquid in the storage tank to the cleaning component, allowing the cleaning component to spray the cleaning liquid onto the cleaning component. Therefore, by rinsing the inner wall of the part to be cleaned with the cleaning components and brushing away dirt with the brush assembly, combined with drying with the drying component, the cleaning effect and efficiency can be effectively improved.

[0055] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0056] See Figure 1 This application provides a cleaning apparatus, including a cleaning structure 10. The cleaning structure 10 may include a cleaning assembly 100, a brush assembly 200, and a liquid supply assembly 300. The cleaning assembly 100 may include a drying element 110 and multiple cleaning elements 120. The cleaning elements 120 are used to rinse the inner wall of a part 30 to be cleaned. The drying element 110 is disposed downstream of the multiple cleaning elements 120 and is used to dry the part 30 to be cleaned. At least one of the multiple cleaning elements 120 is rotatably connected to the brush assembly 200, which is used to brush away dirt from the inner wall of the part 30 to be cleaned. The liquid supply assembly 300 may include a liquid storage tank 310 and multiple liquid supply elements 320. Each cleaning element 120 is connected to the liquid storage tank 310 via a liquid supply element 320, which guides cleaning liquid from the liquid storage tank 310 to the cleaning element 120.

[0057] Among them, the part to be cleaned 30 can be understood as a conveying pipe.

[0058] The cleaning assembly 100 may include a drying component 110 and multiple cleaning components 120. The cleaning components 120 are used to rinse the inner wall of the part 30 to be cleaned, effectively removing stains and impurities adhering to the inner wall through cleaning media such as high-pressure water flow. To further improve the cleaning effect, the drying component 110 may be positioned downstream of the multiple cleaning components 120. When the cleaning components 120 have finished rinsing the inner wall of the part 30, the drying components 110 can be activated, using hot air or other drying methods to evaporate the moisture inside the part 30, ensuring that the part 30 is dry. Therefore, by setting up the cleaning components 120 and the drying components 110, automated washing and drying of the part 30 can be achieved, which improves cleaning efficiency compared to manual washing and natural air drying.

[0059] Optionally, the cleaning components 120 can be set to two, three, four or more. By setting multiple cleaning components 120, multiple cleaning components 120 sequentially rinse the component to be cleaned 30, thereby performing multi-stage cleaning on the component to be cleaned 30 and improving the cleaning effect.

[0060] For example, the cleaning component 120 may include a nozzle-type cleaning component. The drying component 110 may include a hot air duct-type drying component or an infrared drying component.

[0061] To remove stubborn dirt or larger particulate impurities, the cleaning structure 10 may further include a brush assembly 200. The brush assembly 200 is rotatably connected to at least one of the plurality of cleaning components 120. The brush assembly 200 can closely conform to the inner wall of the component 30 to be cleaned, and removes dirt from the inner wall of the component 30 by rotating and brushing, thereby improving cleaning efficiency. Optionally, the brush assembly 200 may be provided on one of the plurality of cleaning components 120, or it may be provided on all of the plurality of cleaning components 120; this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0062] The brush assembly 200 and the cleaning component 120 can be rotatably connected by bearings. The brush assembly 200 can be driven to rotate relative to the cleaning component by means of motor drive, multiple hydraulic or pneumatic cylinder drive, etc.

[0063] The following explanation uses four cleaning components 120 as an example. The four cleaning components 120 are respectively configured as one first cleaning component 120a and three second cleaning components 120b, arranged sequentially. The drying component 110 is located downstream of the one of the three second cleaning components 120b furthest from the first cleaning component 120a. A brush assembly 200 can be rotatably mounted on the first cleaning component 120a. When cleaning the component 30, it first passes through the first cleaning component 120a and the brush assembly 200, achieving primary cleaning by rinsing and brushing away larger dirt from the inner wall of the component 30. Then, the component 30 sequentially passes through the three second cleaning components 120b, achieving multi-stage cleaning, and finally passes through the drying component 110 for drying, completing the washing and drying process of the component 30.

[0064] To ensure the continuity and stability of the cleaning process, a liquid supply assembly 300 can be provided. The liquid supply assembly 300 may include a liquid storage tank 310 and multiple liquid supply components 320, with each cleaning component 120 connected to the liquid storage tank 310 via a liquid supply component 320. During the cleaning process, the liquid supply components 320 stably and continuously guide the cleaning fluid in the liquid storage tank 310 to each cleaning component 120, thereby enabling the cleaning component 120 to spray the cleaning fluid onto the component 30 to be cleaned, thus rinsing the component 30.

[0065] The liquid supply component 320 can be provided in two, three, four or more. The liquid supply component 320 and the cleaning component 120 can be provided in a one-to-one correspondence, or multiple cleaning components 120 can correspond to one liquid supply component 320. This application does not impose any restrictions here.

[0066] Optionally, the liquid supply unit 320 can be a combination of piping and pump.

[0067] Therefore, through the synergistic effect of the cleaning component 120 and the brush assembly 200, the stable liquid supply of the liquid supply component 300, and the timely drying by the drying component 110, the cleaning device provided in this application can efficiently clean the component 30 to be cleaned and has a good cleaning effect.

[0068] See Figure 2 In some embodiments, the length of the cleaning component 120 is adjustable to match the length of the component 30 to be cleaned.

[0069] Understandably, the cleaning component 120 is configured with an adjustable length so that it can flexibly adapt to cleaning components 30 of different lengths. This configuration improves the versatility and flexibility of the cleaning device, ensuring consistent and efficient cleaning results.

[0070] To achieve adjustable length of the cleaning component 120, it can be configured to consist of multiple detachable modules. These modules are connected via connectors (such as bolts and clips), allowing for the selection of an appropriate number of modules to assemble based on the length of the component 30 to be cleaned, thus achieving the desired length of the cleaning component 120. This configuration is not only simple and easy to implement but also facilitates maintenance and replacement.

[0071] Alternatively, a telescopic design can be adopted. For example, the cleaning component 120 can be configured as a sleeve structure, and the relative position between the sleeves can be adjusted by a telescopic mechanism (e.g., a telescopic arm) to adjust the telescopic length of the cleaning component 120 to accommodate cleaning components 30 of different lengths.

[0072] Furthermore, for other parts 30 to be cleaned, such as curved pipes, flexible cleaning parts 120 can be used. Flexible cleaning parts 120 can be made of soft and wear-resistant materials, possessing a certain degree of elasticity and deformation capability, such as telescopic pipes with spray nozzles. Therefore, flexible cleaning parts 120 can be bent or stretched according to the shape and size of the parts 30 to be cleaned, adapting to their shape and size. This not only improves the adaptability of the cleaning parts 120 but also ensures the consistency and efficiency of the cleaning effect.

[0073] See Figure 2 In some embodiments, the cleaning component 120 includes a sealing component 121 and a cylindrical body 122. One end of the cylindrical body 122 is connected to the liquid supply component 320, and the other end is connected to the sealing component 121. The cylindrical body 122 has a plurality of spray nozzles 1221 for spraying cleaning liquid.

[0074] Understandably, the cylindrical body 122 can be a hollow tubular shape to ensure smooth flow and precise spraying of the cleaning fluid. One end of the cylindrical body 122 is connected to the liquid supply component 320, ensuring a stable and continuous supply of cleaning fluid into the cylindrical body 122.

[0075] The other end of the cylindrical body 122 is connected to the sealing member 121, which can play a sealing role to prevent the cleaning fluid from leaking out during the spraying process, and at the same time prevent insufficient pressure of the cleaning fluid inside the cylindrical body 122.

[0076] In practice, the cylindrical body 122 has multiple spray nozzles 1221 circumferentially distributed to achieve broad coverage and precise spraying of the cleaning fluid. When the cleaning fluid is pressurized inside the cylindrical body 122, it is sprayed at high pressure through the nozzles 1221 to rinse the inner wall of the part 30 to be cleaned. This design improves cleaning efficiency and makes the cleaning process more uniform and thorough, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0077] For example, the plug 121 may include a cap connector.

[0078] See Figure 2 In some embodiments, the cylindrical body 122 includes a plurality of connecting segments 1222, at least two connecting segments 1222 being detachably connected to each other.

[0079] To enhance the versatility and flexibility of the cylindrical body 122, it is constructed to include multiple connecting segments 1222. These connecting segments 1222 are detachably connected, allowing the length of the cylindrical body 122 to be adjusted. This detachable connection facilitates the operator's adjustment of the length of the cylindrical body 122 according to the length of the part 30 to be cleaned, and also provides convenience for subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0080] Furthermore, each connecting section 1222 maintains a high degree of sealing to prevent cleaning fluid from leaking through the joints between the connecting sections 1222 during transmission, thereby preventing insufficient pressure of the cleaning fluid inside the cylindrical body 122. This ensures the high efficiency and stability of the cleaning operation.

[0081] For example, each pair of adjacent connecting segments 1222 can be detachably connected by a threaded connection. Specifically, an external thread can be machined at one end of the connecting segment 1222, and a matching internal thread can be machined at the other end. Then, the internal thread of one of the two connecting segments 1222 is rotated to connect the external thread of the other. Alternatively, the connecting segments 1222 can also be detachably connected by a snap-fit ​​connection, bolt connection, or the like.

[0082] See Figure 1In some embodiments, the cleaning structure 10 further includes a housing 400, which has multiple liquid collection tanks 410 and multiple material discharge ports 420. The liquid collection tanks 410 and the material discharge ports 420 are correspondingly arranged, and the cleaning component 120 and the drying component 110 are respectively arranged in one of the liquid collection tanks 410.

[0083] Understandably, each collection tank 410 is equipped with a corresponding drain port 420. The drain port 420 is used to collect the cleaning fluid used during the rinsing process of the cleaning part 120 into the corresponding collection tank 410, and can also be used to collect the cleaning fluid that slides off the inner wall of the part to be cleaned 30 during the drying process into the collection tank 410. This arrangement ensures the effective collection and treatment of the cleaning fluid during the cleaning process.

[0084] In a specific implementation, the housing 400 may be equipped with a baffle covering the liquid collection tank 410, and a discharge port 420 is provided on the baffle. Each cleaning component 120 and drying component 110 is respectively arranged on the side of the baffle away from the bottom of the liquid collection tank 410. This facilitates the cleaning component 120 and the drying component 110 to wash and dry the component 30 to be cleaned, and also facilitates the recovery of the cleaning liquid into the liquid collection tank 410 through the discharge port 420.

[0085] See Figure 3 In some embodiments, the cleaning structure 10 further includes a waste liquid tank 510, a first connecting pipe 520 and a plurality of drain pipes 530, wherein the drain pipes 530 are configured in a one-to-one correspondence with the collection tank 410, and each drain pipe is connected to the waste liquid tank 510 through the first connecting pipe 520.

[0086] The waste liquid tank 510 serves as a container for storing waste liquid, preventing environmental pollution caused by waste liquid overflow. The first connecting pipe 520 connects the waste liquid tank 510 to each drain pipe 530, so that the cleaning liquid to be discharged in the collection tank 410 can smoothly enter the waste liquid tank 510.

[0087] Furthermore, to more precisely control the discharge of cleaning fluid in each collection tank 410, the drain pipe 530 can be configured to correspond one-to-one with each collection tank 410. Specifically, a level monitoring device can be installed inside the collection tank 410, and a valve can be installed in the drain pipe 530. When the level monitoring device detects that the cleaning fluid in the collection tank 410 exceeds a predetermined level, it can instruct the valve in the drain pipe 530 to open, thereby discharging the cleaning fluid into the waste liquid tank 510.

[0088] Optionally, the level monitoring device may include a float or a level gauge.

[0089] See Figure 1In some embodiments, the liquid supply component 320 includes a second connecting pipe 321, a first valve 322, and a first pipe 323 and a second pipe 324 connected to the first valve 322. The first pipe 323 is equipped with a drive pump 325, which is used to draw cleaning fluid so that the first pipe 323 guides the cleaning fluid to the cleaning component 120. The second pipe 324 is used to communicate with the downstream collection tank 410. Each first valve 322 is connected to the storage tank 310 via the second connecting pipe 321.

[0090] The first valve 322 is used to control the flow direction of the cleaning fluid. Optionally, the first valve 322 can be a three-way valve, which is easy to operate and responds quickly. It can be opened or closed accurately according to the usage requirements to realize the flexible switching of the cleaning fluid between different pipelines.

[0091] A first conduit 323, connected to the first valve 322, is used to draw cleaning fluid from the storage tank 310 and guide it to the cleaning component 120. To achieve the drawing function, a drive pump 325 can be installed on the first conduit 323. By using the drive pump 325, it can be ensured that the cleaning fluid is delivered to the cleaning component 120 at an appropriate flow rate and pressure, thereby meeting the cleaning requirements.

[0092] The second pipe 324 is used to connect to the downstream collection tank 410 to facilitate the recycling and reuse of the cleaning fluid. The following explanation uses four cleaning components 120 as an example. Each of the four cleaning components 120 includes one first cleaning component 120a and three second cleaning components 120b, arranged sequentially in the same direction. The second pipe 324 corresponding to the first cleaning component 120a is connected to the collection tank 410 corresponding to the adjacent second cleaning component 120b. Thus, the cleaning fluid used by the second cleaning component 120b, after entering the collection tank 410, can be recovered through the second pipe 324 and then supplied to the first cleaning component 120a via the corresponding first pipe 323. Understandably, the first cleaning component 120a and the second cleaning component 120b are arranged sequentially and rinsed sequentially on the component 30 to be cleaned. The dirt on the inner wall of the component 30 to be cleaned is gradually reduced. Therefore, the cleaning fluid used by the second cleaning component 120b adjacent to the first cleaning component 120a can be recovered via the collection tank 410 and then drawn back into the first cleaning component 120a via the second pipeline 324 and the first pipeline 323 corresponding to the first cleaning component 120a for reuse. Similarly, the second cleaning component 120b closest to the first cleaning component 120a can recycle the cleaning fluid used by the one in the middle, and the one in the middle can recycle the cleaning fluid used by the one furthest from the first cleaning component 120a. This improves the utilization rate of the cleaning fluid and reduces waste.

[0093] In practice, new cleaning fluid can be used from the storage tank 310, or recycled cleaning fluid can be used. The method can be chosen according to actual needs, and this application embodiment does not impose any limitations.

[0094] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, both the second pipeline 324 and the second connecting pipeline 321 are provided with filters 610, and the filter 610 corresponding to the second connecting pipeline 321 is positioned close to the liquid storage tank 310 relative to the cleaning component 120.

[0095] By installing a filter 610 in the second pipeline 324, the cleaning fluid can be effectively filtered and purified before entering the first pipeline 323, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0096] In the second connecting pipe 321, the filter 610 is positioned close to the liquid storage tank 310 relative to the cleaning component 120. Thus, before the cleaning liquid enters the cleaning component 120, it is first filtered and purified by the filter 610 in the second connecting pipe 321, which can improve the cleaning effect of the cleaning component 120 on the component 30 to be cleaned.

[0097] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, at least a portion of the plurality of cleaning elements 120 are first cleaning elements 120a and at least a portion are second cleaning elements 120b. The first cleaning elements 120a are configured in a one-to-one correspondence with the brush assembly 200, and the second cleaning elements 120b are configured downstream of the first cleaning elements 120a.

[0098] Specifically, the first cleaning component 120a can be connected to the brush assembly 200. The first cleaning component 120a and the brush assembly 200 work together. The brush assembly 200 effectively removes stubborn dirt adhering to the inner wall of the part to be cleaned 30 with its bristles and rinses it through the first cleaning component 120a. This not only improves the efficiency and quality of cleaning, but also ensures the consistency and controllability of the cleaning process.

[0099] The second cleaning component 120b is positioned downstream of the first cleaning component 120a to further rinse the component 30 to be cleaned using the cleaning effect of the first cleaning component 120a, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning structure 10 on the component 30 to be cleaned.

[0100] In some embodiments, the cleaning component 120 includes a plurality of cleaning sections arranged at intervals to simultaneously rinse the inner walls of a plurality of components 30 to be cleaned.

[0101] It should be noted that the cleaning unit 120 may include two, three or more cleaning sections, which are arranged at intervals. Thus, each cleaning section can be activated simultaneously to clean multiple parts 30 at the same time by spraying cleaning fluid. This configuration can further improve cleaning efficiency.

[0102] In practice, multiple cleaning units can correspond to one liquid supply unit 320, or each cleaning unit can correspond to one liquid supply unit 320.

[0103] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, the drying element 110 includes a drying head 111 and an air supply line 112 communicating with the drying head 111, the air supply line 112 being used to communicate with an air source.

[0104] The air supply line 112 is used to connect with an air source to provide a stable airflow (e.g., hot air) to the drying head 111 so that the drying head 111 can blow air onto the inner wall of the part to be cleaned 30, thereby achieving the drying of the part to be cleaned 30.

[0105] See Figure 1 In some embodiments, the storage tank 310 includes a liquid level monitoring device 311, a second valve 312, and a feeding port 313. The liquid level monitoring device 311 is used to monitor the liquid level of the cleaning fluid in the storage tank 310, and the second valve 312 is used to adjust the air pressure in the storage tank 310.

[0106] The liquid level monitoring device 311 can monitor changes in the liquid level of the cleaning fluid, thereby ensuring that the cleaning fluid in the storage tank 310 is sufficient and avoiding poor cleaning results caused by excessively low liquid level. Optionally, the liquid level monitoring device 311 may include a float or a liquid level gauge.

[0107] The storage tank 310 may be equipped with a second valve 312, which is used to regulate the air pressure inside the storage tank 310. During the cleaning operation, the air pressure inside the storage tank 310 may change with the flow and temperature of the cleaning fluid. If the air pressure is too high or too low, it will adversely affect the cleaning operation. Therefore, by opening and closing the second valve 312, the air pressure inside the storage tank 310 can be effectively regulated, thereby ensuring that the cleaning fluid maintains a stable pressure and flow rate during delivery and spraying, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the cleaning operation. The second valve 312 may include a breather valve. Furthermore, a pressure gauge 620 may be installed on the second connecting pipe 321 to monitor the delivery pressure of the cleaning fluid.

[0108] In addition, to facilitate the addition of cleaning fluid to the reservoir 310, a filling port 313 is provided. The filling port 313 can be located at the top of the reservoir 310 to ensure no leakage occurs when adding cleaning fluid. The filling port 313 can be covered with a sealing cap. When adding cleaning fluid, simply open the sealing cap of the filling port 313, pour the cleaning fluid into the reservoir 310, and then close the sealing cap. This simplifies the cleaning fluid addition process and improves the reliability and safety of the reservoir 310.

[0109] See Figure 4In some embodiments, a sealing structure 20 is also included, and a cleaning structure 10 is disposed in the sealing structure 20. The sealing structure 20 is provided with an exhaust pipe 21 and a fresh air pipe 22 to prevent the odor of the cleaning liquid from accumulating in the cleaning structure 10.

[0110] It should be noted that the part to be cleaned 30 can be a conveying pipe. In order to clean the conveying pipe, the cleaning fluid can be a chemical cleaning agent. When the chemical cleaning agent is rinsing the conveying pipe, it will produce a strong odor. In order to prevent the odor of the cleaning fluid from accumulating and causing safety risks, a sealing structure 20 can be set up, and the cleaning structure 10 can be set inside the sealing structure 20. In this way, the cleaning structure 10 can be kept in a negative pressure environment, thereby reducing the safety risks caused by the accumulation of cleaning fluid odor.

[0111] Specifically, the exhaust duct 21 is used to exhaust the air inside the sealed structure 20 to the external environment, thereby preventing odors from continuously accumulating inside the sealed structure 20. To achieve efficient exhaust, the exhaust duct 21 can also be equipped with auxiliary equipment such as a fan to enhance the exhaust effect.

[0112] The fresh air duct 22 is used to introduce fresh air into the sealed structure 20 to maintain air circulation and renewal within the sealed structure 20. The installation of the fresh air duct 22 helps to dilute and neutralize the odor of the cleaning solution and also provides operators with a healthier working environment.

[0113] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a cleaning device provided in one embodiment of this application includes a cleaning structure 10 and a sealing structure 20. The sealing structure 20 is provided with an exhaust pipe 21 and a fresh air pipe 22. The cleaning structure 10 is disposed within the sealing structure 20. The cleaning structure 10 includes a cleaning assembly 100, a brush assembly 200, a liquid supply assembly 300, a housing 400, and a waste liquid tank 510. The cleaning assembly 100 is arranged in the same direction with one first cleaning component 120a, three second cleaning components 120b, and a drying component 110. The cleaning component 120 includes a sealing component 121 and a cylindrical body 122. The cylindrical body 122 includes multiple connecting sections 1222, and multiple spray nozzles 1221 are opened on the cylindrical body 122. The drying component 110 includes a drying head 111 and an air supply pipe 112 connected to the drying head 111. The brush assembly 200 is rotatably disposed on the first cleaning component 120a. The liquid supply assembly 300 includes a liquid storage tank 310, which contains a liquid level monitoring device 311, a second valve 312, and a feed port 313. The liquid supply component 320 includes a second connecting pipe 321, a first valve 322, a first pipe 323, a second pipe 324, and a drive pump 325 located on the first pipe 323. The first pipe 323 is connected to the liquid storage tank 310 via the first valve 322 and the second connecting pipe 321. The housing 400 has multiple liquid collection tanks 410, each with a corresponding drain port 420. The liquid collection tanks 410 are correspondingly connected to the cleaning component 120 and the drying component 110. The waste liquid tank 510 is connected to the liquid collection tanks 410 via the first connecting pipe 520 and the drain pipe 530. The second connecting pipe 321 and the second connecting pipe 324 are equipped with filters 610, and the second connecting pipe 321 is equipped with a pressure gauge 620.
