[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figure 1-3 A cleaning device for paint buckets of different depths includes a frame 1, a first cleaning unit 2, and a clamping unit 3 located on one side of the frame 1. The clamping unit 3 is used to clamp and drive the paint bucket to rotate. A horizontal drive unit 4 is provided on the frame 1. The first cleaning unit 2 is connected to the horizontal drive unit 4 and is close to the inner wall of the paint bucket through the horizontal drive unit 4. The device also includes a second cleaning unit 5. A lifting module 41 is provided on the horizontal drive unit 4. The second cleaning unit 5 is L-shaped, and one end of the second cleaning unit 5 is hinged to the end of the lifting module 41, and the other end is hinged to the top of the first cleaning unit 2. The first cleaning unit 2 is connected to one side of the horizontal drive unit 4 through an elastic element 7.

[0026] The lifting module 41 is used to drive the second cleaning unit 5 to move upward, so that the vertical part of the second cleaning unit 5 swings to the horizontal, the horizontal part swings to the vertical, and the horizontal part docks with the first cleaning unit 2.

[0027] In practical applications, the worker clamps the paint bucket using clamping unit 3. At this time, the first cleaning unit 2 is inside the paint bucket. The first cleaning unit 2 is driven by the horizontal drive unit 4 until it contacts the inner wall of the paint bucket. At this time, the second cleaning unit 5 contacts the bottom of the paint bucket. Finally, the paint bucket is driven to rotate by clamping unit 3, thereby cleaning the inner wall and bottom of the paint bucket. Specifically, when the horizontal part of the second cleaning unit 5 is in a horizontal state (for ease of explanation, this state will be referred to as the first state below), the first cleaning unit 2 cleans the shallower inner wall of the paint bucket, and the horizontal part of the second cleaning unit 5 cleans the bottom of the paint bucket; when the second cleaning unit 5 is in a horizontal state, the first cleaning unit 2 cleans the shallower inner wall of the paint bucket, and .... When the horizontal part of unit 5 is in the vertical state (for ease of explanation, this state will be referred to as the second state below), the horizontal parts of the first cleaning unit 2 and the second cleaning unit 5 connect to clean the inner wall of the deeper paint bucket, while the vertical part of the second cleaning unit 5 cleans the bottom of the paint bucket. By selecting the first state or the second state, it can be adapted to paint buckets of different depths. Specifically, when the length of the first cleaning unit 2 is shorter than the depth of the paint bucket, it is necessary to switch to the second state for cleaning. The staff can select the first state or the second state to clean the paint bucket according to different bucket depths, which is beneficial for cleaning paint buckets of different depths and improving the cleaning effect.

[0028] Preferably, the horizontal drive unit 4 is provided with a movable block 42, the lifting module 41 is located on the movable block 42, the movable block 42 is slidably connected to the frame 1, and the first cleaning unit 2 is connected to one side of the movable block 42 through an elastic element 7. The movable block 42 can drive the first cleaning unit 2 to stick tightly to the inner wall of the paint bucket.

[0029] In this embodiment, the horizontal drive unit 4 is a lead screw, and the movable block 42 is a slider of the lead screw. Specifically, when the first cleaning unit 2 contacts the inner wall of the paint bucket, the elastic element 7 can ensure the cleaning pressure of the first cleaning unit 2 on the inner wall of the paint bucket, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0030] Preferably, the first cleaning unit 2 includes a first cleaning plate 21 and a connecting block 22. The first cleaning plate 21 is connected to the connecting block 22. The connecting block 22 is connected to one side of the horizontal drive unit 4 through an elastic element 7. The first cleaning plate 21 is pressed against the inner wall of the paint bucket through the horizontal drive unit 4.

[0031] In the above design, the connecting block 22 connected by the elastic element 7 can have a certain elasticity on the horizontal plane. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the elastic element 7 is a spring. This not only ensures that the first cleaning unit 2 has a certain cleaning pressure on the paint bucket, but also allows the vertical part of the second cleaning unit 5 to move vertically up and down when switching from the first state to the second state by translating the connecting block 22 through the elastic element 7. Ultimately, the second cleaning unit 5 and the first cleaning unit 2 can be docked, that is, the horizontal part of the second cleaning unit 5 docks with the first cleaning unit 2. This is beneficial because in the second state, the vertical part of the second cleaning unit 5 can contact the bottom of the paint bucket in a horizontal state, thereby completely cleaning the bottom of the paint bucket and improving the cleaning effect.

[0032] Preferably, the second cleaning unit 5 is an L-shaped second cleaning plate 51. The top and sides of the second cleaning plate 51 are provided with cleaning brushes. One end of the second cleaning plate 51 is hinged to the first cleaning unit 2, and the other end is hinged to the lifting module 41.

[0033] With the above design, the cleaning brush 52 enables the second cleaning plate 51 to clean the bottom of the paint bucket in both the first and second states, and the hinged connection also facilitates the switching of the second cleaning plate 51 between the first and second states.

[0034] Preferably, the lifting module 41 is a drive cylinder, the cylinder body of the drive cylinder is connected to the horizontal drive unit 4, and the power output part of the drive cylinder is hinged to one end of the second cleaning unit 5.

[0035] In the above design, the drive cylinder can drive the vertical part of the second cleaning plate 51 to move vertically up and down. The elastic element 7 helps to improve the stability of the switching between the first state and the second state, and can ensure that the second cleaning unit 5 can always clean the bottom of the paint bucket.

[0036] Preferably, it also includes a water spraying unit 6, which is connected to the movable block 42 and is used to provide cleaning agent into the paint bucket.

[0037] In this embodiment, the water spraying unit 6 is generally filled with cleaning agent or water to clean the paint bucket of residual paint. On the other hand, the water spraying unit 6 can move together with the movable block 42 on the movable block 42, thereby ensuring that the cleaning agent or water of the water spraying unit 6 can be sprayed into the paint bucket.

[0038] Preferably, the water spraying unit 6 includes a water tank 61, a first connecting pipe 62, and a second connecting pipe 63. The water tank 61 is located on one side of the movable block 42. One end of the first connecting pipe 62 is connected to the water tank 61, and the other end is connected to one end of the second connecting pipe 63. The other end of the second connecting pipe 63 is provided with a nozzle 64. The water tank 61 and the fixing plate are connected through the connecting pipes. The top of the fixing plate is provided with a nozzle 64.

[0039] With the above design, the water tank 61 can store cleaning agent or water, and the water is transported to the nozzle 64 through the first connecting pipe 62 and the second connecting pipe 63, and sprayed from the nozzle 64 onto the paint bucket. In conjunction with the first cleaning unit 2 and the second cleaning unit 5, the inner wall and bottom of the paint bucket are cleaned. The nozzle 64 can increase the coverage area of ​​the cleaning agent or water, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0040] Preferably, the first connecting pipe 62 is made of a soft material, and the second connecting pipe 63 is made of a rigid material.

[0041] In this embodiment, since the second connecting pipe 63 needs to move together with the movable block 42, the first connecting pipe 62 is made of soft material and has a certain degree of elasticity. This allows the first connecting pipe 62 to provide a certain degree of elasticity when the second connecting pipe 63 moves with the movable block 42, thereby ensuring that the cleaning agent or water can be sprayed from the water tank 61 to the nozzle 64.

[0042] Preferably, the clamping unit 3 includes a robotic arm assembly 31, a lifting assembly 32, and a telescopic assembly 33. The telescopic assembly 33 is connected to the lifting assembly 32, and the robotic arm assembly 31 is rotatably connected to the telescopic assembly 33. The robotic arm assembly 31 is used to clamp the paint bucket and drive the paint bucket to rotate.

[0043] In this embodiment, the robotic arm assembly 31 allows workers to easily invert and clamp the ink bucket. In this inverted manner, the dirty water from the cleaning process can be directly drained away by gravity. In particular, drainage holes can be provided on the frame 1 to centrally collect and treat the dirty water.

[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
