[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Depend on Figure 1-6 This utility model relates to a cleaning device for beverage cups, including a frame 1 and a mounting plate 2 with a rinsing tube. The mounting plate 2 is fixedly mounted on the frame 1, and a drive motor 3 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 2. A central column 4 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the drive motor 3, and multiple cleaning mechanisms are mounted on the central column 4. Each cleaning mechanism includes a strip plate 5, a cleaning brush 6, and two telescopic components. The strip plate 5 is connected to the central column 4 through the two telescopic components, and the cleaning brush 6 is fixedly mounted on the strip plate 5. Each telescopic component includes a connecting rod 7, a piston column 8, a telescopic spring 9, and a piston cylinder 10. The piston cylinder 10 is fixedly mounted on the central column 4, and the piston column 8 and the telescopic spring 9 are both movably mounted inside the piston cylinder 10. The telescopic spring 9 surrounds the connecting rod 7, and the piston column 8 is fixedly mounted to the strip plate 5 through the connecting rod 7.
[0024] With this design, during use, simply place the beverage cup to be cleaned outside the cleaning mechanism, and then an external water pump delivers water to the inside of the rinsing pipe. The water flow rinses the beverage cup, while the drive motor 3 drives the central column 4 to rotate. The central column 4 then drives the cleaning mechanism on it to rotate, cleaning the inside of the beverage cup. Specifically, under the action of centrifugal force, the cleaning brush 6 on the strip plate 5 abuts against the inner wall of the beverage cup. At the same time, the strip plate 5 drives the piston column 8 to move through the connecting rod 7, which then squeezes the telescopic spring 9. In this way, the impact of the water flow and the scrubbing of the cleaning brush 6 can achieve the cleaning operation of the beverage cup.
[0025] Specifically, a top plate 11 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and a torsion spring is provided at the rotatable part of the top plate 11 and the frame 1. A positioning mechanism is provided on the top plate 11. The positioning mechanism includes a positioning rod 12, a pull ring 13, a positioning plate 14, and a positioning spring 15. The positioning rod 12 is slidably engaged with a rod hole on the top plate 11. The pull ring 13 and the positioning plate 14 are respectively fixedly mounted on both ends of the positioning rod 12. The positioning spring 15 is wrapped around the positioning rod 12 and is located between the top plate 11 and the positioning plate 14.
[0026] With this design, when in use, rotating the top plate 11 so that it is no longer above the central column 4 allows the beverage cup to be placed on the outside of the central column 4. Then, pulling the pull ring 13 causes the positioning plate 14 to move via the positioning rod 12, and the top plate 11 rotates above the central column 4 under the action of the torsion spring. Then, releasing the pull ring 13 allows the positioning plate 14 to position and fix the beverage cup under the action of the positioning spring 15, which is quite convenient.
[0027] Furthermore, the strip plate 5 is provided with a connecting groove 16, an installation groove 17 and a sliding groove 18 in sequence from top to bottom. The connecting groove 16 is connected to the sliding groove 18 through the installation groove 17. The piston column 8 is provided with an external channel 19, the connecting rod 7 is provided with a central channel 20, and the strip plate 5 is provided with a docking channel 21. The interior of the piston cylinder 10 is connected to the connecting groove 16 in sequence through the external channel 19, the central channel 20 and the docking channel 21. The sliding groove 18 is provided with an extension cleaning component inside.
[0028] The extended cleaning component includes an extended brush 22, a rod 23, a sliding post 24, and a return spring 25. The extended brush 22 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 18. The extended brush 22 is fixedly disposed with the sliding post 24 via the rod 23. The sliding post 24 and the return spring 25 are both movably disposed in the mounting groove 17. The return spring 25 is wrapped around the rod 23.
[0029] With this design, under centrifugal force, when the piston rod 8 compresses the air inside the piston cylinder 10, the air sequentially enters the mounting groove 17 through the external channel 19, the central channel 20, the docking channel 21, and the connecting groove 16. Under the transmission of gas pressure, the sliding rod 24 in the mounting groove 17 compresses the return spring 25. At the same time, the sliding rod 24 drives the extension brush 22 to move through the rod 23, so that the extension brush 22 extends out of the sliding groove 18 and fits against the inner wall of the beverage cup. In this way, beverage cups of different heights and sizes can be cleaned.
[0030] It should be noted that, in order to improve the cleaning of the inner wall of the bottom of the beverage cup, a flexible brush 26 is fixedly installed between multiple strip plates 5 and the central column 4. The flexible brush 26 is cross-shaped, with its center fixed to the central column 4, and each free end fixed to the corresponding strip plate 5. In this way, when the strip plate 5 moves, the flexible brush 26 can also be stretched accordingly. To be precise, the flexible brush 26 has bristles implanted on a stretchable flexible pad.
[0031] Specifically, there are four cleaning mechanisms, which are respectively set on the four side walls of the central column 4.
