Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air curtain cabinet technology, specifically an air curtain cabinet with a cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] Air curtain cabinets, also known as upright air cabinets or cold air cabinets, are normally set to a temperature between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius. They are mainly used in supermarkets to store beverages, yogurt, milk, vacuum-packed meat, cooked food, and fruit, but are not suitable for storing unpackaged food.

[0003] However, in existing air curtain cabinets, dust easily accumulates at the vents during use, and effective cleaning is difficult to achieve over time. This leads to a significant reduction in heat dissipation due to excessive dust buildup at the vents, typically requiring manual cleaning by staff, which is inefficient and increases workload. Therefore, this paper proposes an air curtain cabinet with a cleaning function to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an air curtain cabinet with a cleaning function, which has the advantage of automatically cleaning dust at the heat dissipation vents and improving heat dissipation efficiency, thus solving the technical problem of reduced heat dissipation efficiency caused by excessive dust accumulation at the heat dissipation vents.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An air curtain cabinet with cleaning function includes an air curtain cabinet body. A heat dissipation vent is provided at the bottom of the air curtain cabinet body. Multiple dustproof plates are provided at the heat dissipation vent. A connecting rod is provided on each dustproof plate. One end of the connecting rod has a groove located outside the heat dissipation vent, and several brushes are provided on its outer periphery. A connecting rod is rotatably and slidably connected to the connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod is provided with a blocking element, and the other end is provided with a fan. The blocking element is located within the groove, and paddles are provided on both the side wall of the groove and the outer periphery of the blocking element. A drive assembly for controlling the movement of the connecting rod is provided on the connecting rod.

[0007] Furthermore, multiple paddles are provided on both the sidewall of the groove and the outer periphery of the blocking member.

[0008] Furthermore, a fixing plate is also provided at the heat dissipation vent. The fixing plate is located inside the air curtain cabinet body, and a fixing component is provided on the fixing plate. The fixing component is rotatably connected to the connecting rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the driving component includes a sliding member fixedly mounted on the connecting rod 2. Both sides of the sliding member are slidably connected to a sliding groove, which is located on the fixed plate. The fixed plate is also provided with a driving member, which is fixedly connected to the sliding member.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects: The device sets up a second connecting rod, and a fan, a paddle, and a drive assembly on the second connecting rod, so that the drive assembly can control the second connecting rod to move back and forth. By covering the second connecting rod with a first connecting rod, and setting a brush and a paddle on the first connecting rod, when the fan rotates, the paddle on the second connecting rod can move the paddle on the first connecting rod, thereby driving the brush to rotate and clean the dustproof plate. This effectively solves the problem of reduced heat dissipation caused by excessive dust on the dustproof plate, improves the dust cleaning efficiency, and reduces the workload of the staff.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-5This embodiment of an air curtain cabinet with a cleaning function includes an air curtain cabinet body 1. The bottom of the air curtain cabinet body 1 is provided with a heat dissipation vent, and multiple dustproof plates 3 are provided at the heat dissipation vent. A connecting rod 6 is provided on the dustproof plate 3. A groove 601 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 6. The groove 601 is located outside the heat dissipation vent, and several brushes 8 are provided on its outer periphery. A connecting rod 9 is rotatably and slidably connected inside the connecting rod 6. A blocking member 10 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 9, and a fan 11 is provided at the other end. The blocking member 10 is located inside the groove 601, and paddles 5 are provided on the side wall of the groove 601 and the outer periphery of the blocking member 10. A drive component 7 for controlling its movement is provided on the connecting rod 9.

[0019] In this application, the device is also equipped with a PLC controller and a motor. The PLC controller is electrically connected to the motor and the drive component 7 respectively. The motor is connected to the fan 11 to control the rotation of the fan 11. When the motor rotates forward, it dissipates heat and when it rotates in reverse, it blows the dust on the dustproof plate 3. The forward and reverse rotation of the motor is the prior art.

[0020] When the motor rotates forward, the fan 11 dissipates heat. The drive assembly 7 controls the connecting rod 9 to move outward from the air curtain cabinet, so that the blocking member 10 moves away from the groove 601. At this time, only the fan 11 rotates.

[0021] When the motor reverses, it blows air off the dust on the dustproof plate 3. The drive assembly 7 controls the connecting rod 9 to move outward from the heat dissipation vent and into the air curtain cabinet, causing the blocking member 10 to abut against the groove 601. When the fan 11 rotates, the paddle 5 on the outer periphery of the blocking member 10 drives the paddle 5 on the side wall of the groove 601, causing the brush 8 on the outer periphery of the groove 601 to rotate synchronously, sweeping off the dust on the dustproof plate 3. This effectively solves the problem of excessive dust accumulation on the dustproof plate 3 leading to a significant reduction in heat dissipation, improves dust cleaning efficiency, and reduces the workload of staff.

[0022] Furthermore, multiple paddles 5 are provided on the sidewall of the groove 601 and the outer periphery of the blocking member 10.

[0023] like Figure 2-3 As shown: In this application, the device increases the contact frequency between the paddles 5 by setting multiple paddles 5, making the power transmission more continuous.

[0024] Furthermore, a fixing plate 2 is also provided at the heat dissipation vent. The fixing plate 2 is located inside the air curtain cabinet body 1, and a fixing component 4 is provided on the fixing plate 2. The fixing component 4 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 6.

[0025] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown: In this application, the device, by setting the fixing member 4, helps to improve the stability of the connecting rod 6 when it rotates.

[0026] Furthermore, the drive assembly 7 includes a sliding member 71 fixedly mounted on the connecting rod 9. Both sides of the sliding member 71 are slidably connected to a sliding groove 72, which is located on the fixed plate 2. The fixed plate 2 is also provided with a drive member 73, which is fixedly connected to the sliding member 71.

[0027] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown: In this application, the device controls the movement of the connecting rod 9 along the slide groove 72 through the drive component 7, and is electrically connected to the drive component 73 through the PLC controller. It can enable the fan 11 to work independently when rotating forward or drive the brush 8 to rotate synchronously when the fan 11 rotates in reverse. This effectively solves the problem of dust on the dustproof plate 3 affecting the heat dissipation effect, and at the same time avoids the dust being swept into the cabinet by the brush 8 when the fan 11 rotates forward.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art 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 appended claims and their equivalents.
