Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of solar energy technology, specifically relating to an integrated machine for cleaning and drying the inner wall of a vacuum tube. Background Technology

[0002] Solar vacuum tubes are the core component of solar water heaters. After prolonged use, scale in the water tends to accumulate on the inner wall of the vacuum tubes, reducing the heat transfer coefficient between the vacuum tubes and the water and affecting the utilization efficiency of solar energy.

[0003] In the existing technology, the vacuum tubes of solar cells are cleaned manually using a descaling agent. After cleaning, the vacuum tubes are allowed to air dry naturally before being reinstalled on the solar cell. The cleaning process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the natural drying time of the vacuum tubes is relatively slow, which affects the use of the solar cell. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an integrated vacuum tube inner wall cleaning and drying machine.

[0005] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A vacuum tube inner wall cleaning and drying integrated machine includes a cleaning tank, a cleaning roller, a drive motor, and a fan. The cleaning tank is externally equipped with an insulated box, and heating wires are installed on the inner wall of the insulated box. One end of the cleaning tank has a tube placement port with a sealing cap, and the other end is coaxially connected to the cleaning roller inside the tank via a hollow rotating shaft. A water outlet is located below the side wall of the cleaning tank, and a support tube frame is installed inside the cleaning tank corresponding to the placement location of the vacuum tube. The cleaning roller is a hollow roller shaft covered with a cleaning sponge, and the cleaning sponge has ventilation grooves. Air outlets are located on the roller shaft corresponding to the ventilation grooves. The drive motor is installed on one side of the rotating shaft in the cleaning tank, and the power output end of the drive motor is connected to the power input end of the rotating shaft via a belt. The fan is installed on a platform above the motor, and the fan's air outlet extends into the hollow rotating shaft, connected to the rotating shaft via a ball bearing.

[0007] Furthermore, the outer wall of the inner part of the insulated box is covered with insulation material.

[0008] According to the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model sets up an insulation box outside the cleaning tank, heats the inside of the cleaning tank after the vacuum tube is cleaned, dries the residual moisture on the vacuum tube, and at the same time uses a fan to blow high-speed airflow into the inner wall of the vacuum tube through the roller axis to blow out the moisture on the inner wall of the vacuum tube, thus avoiding moisture residue on the inner wall of the vacuum tube.

[0013] To more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0014] See Figure 1-3 A vacuum tube inner wall cleaning and drying integrated machine includes a cleaning tank 1, a cleaning roller 2, a drive motor 3, and a fan 4.

[0015] See Figure 1-3 The cleaning tank 1 is equipped with an insulation box 11 on the outside, and an electric heating wire is installed on the inner wall of the insulation box 11. One end of the cleaning tank 1 has a tube placement port 12, and a sealing cover 13 is installed on the outside of the tube placement port 12. The other end is coaxially connected to the cleaning roller 2 in the tank through a hollow rotating shaft 14. A water outlet 15 is provided at the bottom of the side wall of the cleaning tank 1. A support tube frame 16 is provided in the cleaning tank 1 corresponding to the placement position of the vacuum tube. After cleaning, the electric heating wire in the insulation box 11 is activated to heat the inside of the cleaning tank 1 and dry the water in the tank. The support tube frame 16 is used to support and fix the vacuum tube to prevent the vacuum tube from rotating with the cleaning roller 2 and affecting the cleaning efficiency.

[0016] See Figure 1-3 The cleaning roller 2 is a hollow roller shaft 21. The roller shaft 21 is covered with a cleaning sponge 22. The cleaning sponge 22 has a ventilation groove 23. The roller shaft 21 has an air outlet 24 corresponding to the ventilation groove 23. The hollow roller shaft 21 facilitates the flow of air into the inner wall of the vacuum tube to dry the water on the inner wall.

[0017] See Figure 1-3 The drive motor 3 is installed on one side of the rotating shaft 14 in the cleaning tank 1. The power output end of the drive motor 3 is connected to the power input end of the rotating shaft 14 through the belt 31. The drive motor 3 drives the rotating shaft 14 to drive the roller shaft 21 to rotate, thereby cleaning the inner wall of the vacuum tube.

[0018] See Figure 1-3 The fan 4 is installed on a platform above the motor 3. The air outlet 41 of the fan 4 extends into the hollow rotating shaft 14. The air outlet 41 is connected to the rotating shaft 14 through a ball bearing. The fan 4 blows air into the roller shaft 21 to dry the inner wall of the vacuum tube. The ball bearing can prevent the air outlet 41 from being damaged by rotating with the rotating shaft 14.

[0019] See Figure 1-3 The rotating shaft 14 is located inside the insulation box 11, and its outer wall is covered with insulation material. The insulation material heats and keeps the rotating shaft warm. The air blown into the inner wall of the vacuum tube can dry the moisture thoroughly after the temperature rises.

[0020] According to the above embodiments, the working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0021] Insert the vacuum tube to be cleaned into the cleaning tank 1 through the insertion port 11. The inner wall of the vacuum tube is fitted onto the cleaning roller 2. The vacuum tube is supported and fixed by the support tube frame 16. Add descaling agent and clean water to the cleaning tank 1. Start the drive motor 3 and drive the rotating shaft 14 to drive the cleaning roller 2 to clean the inner wall of the vacuum tube. After cleaning, open the water outlet 15 to discharge the liquid. After the cleaning liquid is discharged, start the heating wire of the heat preservation box 11 to heat the inside of the cleaning tank 1. Start the fan 4 to blow air onto the inner wall of the vacuum tube and dry the vacuum tube in the cleaning tank.
