Detailed Implementation

[0021] The following description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] like Figure 1-5 The gas cylinder cleaning and drying device shown includes a canopy 1. Inside the canopy 1 are a rotating base 2, a water gun 3, a side cleaning mechanism 4, a top cleaning mechanism 5, a clamping mechanism 6, and a drying mechanism 7. The rotating base 2 is located at the bottom of the canopy 1, and the water gun 3, side cleaning mechanism 4, and top cleaning mechanism 5 are located at the top of the canopy 1. The top cleaning mechanism 5 is opposite to the rotating base 2, and the side cleaning mechanism 4 is opposite to the clamping mechanism 6. The side cleaning mechanism 4 is located at the top of the canopy 1, and the clamping mechanism 6 is located on the side wall of the canopy 1. This invention uses the rotating base 2 to rotate the gas cylinder, which, in conjunction with the side cleaning mechanism 4 and the top cleaning mechanism 5, cleans the side and top walls of the gas cylinder. Additionally, the water gun 3 provides a continuous water source, the clamping mechanism 6 stabilizes the gas cylinder during the cleaning process to prevent it from tipping over, and the drying mechanism 7 quickly dries the cleaned gas cylinder to prevent water residue and rust.

[0023] Specifically, the canopy 1, serving as the external protective structure of the entire device, primarily functions to shield the gas cylinders from wind, rain, and sunlight, providing a relatively enclosed and stable working environment for cleaning and drying. The top and side walls of the canopy 1 are designed with corresponding openings and grooves to facilitate the installation and movement of other components. A water gun 3 is positioned at the top of the canopy 1 and is used to spray high-pressure water onto the gas cylinders to remove initial dirt from their surfaces. The specific position and spray angle of the water gun 3 can be adjusted according to actual needs.

[0024] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5The rotating base 2 is located at the bottom of the canopy 1 and is used to support and rotate the gas cylinders to be cleaned. The rotating base 2 mainly includes a gas cylinder placement rack 21 and a rotating mechanism 22. The gas cylinder placement rack 21 is used to place the gas cylinders, and its bottom center is connected to the rotating shaft of the rotating mechanism 22. Driven by the rotating mechanism 22, the gas cylinder placement rack 21 and the gas cylinders on it can be rotated, thereby facilitating the comprehensive cleaning of the gas cylinders.

[0025] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The side cleaning mechanism 4 includes a vertically arranged roller brush 41, with a rotating shaft 42 at the top of the roller brush 41. The upper end of the rotating shaft 42 is mounted on a slider 43. The slider 43 slides within a groove 11 opened at the top of the canopy 1. Driven by a drive cylinder 45, the slider 43 and the roller brush 41 can move back and forth. Simultaneously, a drive motor 44 is connected to the rotating shaft 42, driving the roller brush 41 to rotate, thereby cleaning the side of the gas cylinder.

[0026] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The top cleaning mechanism 5 is located at the top of the canopy 1 and includes a vertical rod 51, a disc 52, and cleaning ropes 53. A disc 52 is coaxially mounted at the lower end of the vertical rod 51, and several cleaning ropes 53 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the disc 52. When the disc 52 rotates, the cleaning ropes 53 swing accordingly, thereby cleaning the top of the gas cylinder. The clamping mechanism 6 is used to fix the gas cylinder during the cleaning process, preventing it from moving due to rotation or cleaning force. The clamping mechanism 6 includes a straight arm 61 with one end hinged to the side wall of the canopy 1, and a V-shaped frame 62 at the other end. The V-shaped frame 62 has a clamping wheel 63 at its front end for clamping the gas cylinder; a small cylinder 64 is connected to its rear end. The tail end of the small cylinder 64 is hinged to the side wall of the canopy 1, and its front end is hinged to the V-shaped frame 62. By extending and retracting the small cylinder 64, the V-shaped frame 62 and the clamping wheel 63 can be moved closer to or further away from the gas cylinder, thereby achieving the clamping and release of the gas cylinder.

[0027] refer to Figure 5 The drying mechanism 7 includes a hot air blower 71 located behind the curtain 1, which has multiple exhaust vents 72. The extended projection of the exhaust vents 72 forms a certain angle (less than 90 degrees) with the rotating base 2, ensuring that the hot air can be evenly blown to all parts of the gas cylinder for rapid drying. The bottom of the curtain 1 has a recessed water collection section 12 for collecting wastewater generated during the cleaning process. The upper surface of the water collection section 12 slopes from front to back, and a drain outlet 13 is provided at the rear end to facilitate the discharge of wastewater.

[0028] In summary, the gas cylinder cleaning and drying device of the present invention effectively solves the problems of low efficiency, uneven cleaning, and high labor intensity of manual cleaning in the prior art, and provides an efficient, safe and reliable automated cleaning solution, which has important practical significance for improving the maintenance and management level of industrial gas cylinders.
