[0019] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0020] A vertical glass cleaning device, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a chassis 1. Inside the chassis 1, a transmission chamber 2, a drying chamber 3, and a cleaning chamber 4 are arranged through a horizontally arranged horizontal partition and a vertical partition erected on the horizontal partition. The transmission chamber 2 is located at the bottom of the chassis 1. The drying chamber 3 and the cleaning chamber 4 are located above the transmission chamber 2 and arranged to the left and right. The glass is cleaned in the cleaning chamber 4 and dried in the drying chamber 3 after cleaning.
[0021] The drying chamber 3 has a longitudinally arranged inlet and outlet on the side away from the cleaning chamber 4, used for vertically feeding and discharging glass. A passage opening is located on the vertical partition opposite the inlet and outlet, connecting the drying chamber 3 and the cleaning chamber 4, allowing the glass to pass vertically through, enabling the glass to pass from the drying chamber 3 into the cleaning chamber 4 and vice versa. The cleaning chamber 4 is equipped with a conveying mechanism 5 and a cleaning mechanism 6. The conveying mechanism 5 drives the glass in and out of the cleaning chamber 4 from both sides; the cleaning mechanism 6 cleans both sides of the glass simultaneously. A horizontal conveyor belt is installed at the bottom of the drying chamber 3, driving the glass in and out of the drying chamber 3 from the bottom. The drying chamber 3 also contains a drying mechanism 8, used to dry the cleaned glass from both sides.
[0022] The bottom of the cleaning chamber 4 is equipped with a bottom support roller that rotates. The bottom support roller is horizontally positioned and its top is flush with the top of the horizontal conveyor belt. The bottom support roller is used to support the glass from the bottom.
[0023] The conveying mechanism 5 includes four rotating shafts 51, which are erected in the cleaning chamber 4, and both ends of each rotating shaft 51 are rotatably connected to the casing 1. The four rotating shafts 51 form a rectangle, and their bottom ends are rotatably sealed to horizontal partitions and pass through the transmission chamber 2; Figure 2 As shown, two rotating shafts 51 located on the same side of the glass are connected by a gear belt assembly 53 and rotate in the same direction. Two rotating shafts 51 located opposite each other on both sides of the glass are connected by a set of gear assemblies 54 and rotate in opposite directions. Both the gear assemblies 54 and the gear belt assembly 53 are located in the transmission chamber 2. A motor 55 is connected to the top of one rotating shaft 51. The motor 55 is located on the top of the housing 1 and is used to drive the four rotating shafts 51 to rotate through the gear belt assembly 53 and the gear assemblies 54. Several rollers 52 are fixedly and spaced along the length of the rotating shafts 51. The rollers 52 are used to abut against the glass from the side wall and clamp the glass. When the motor 55 drives the four rotating shafts 51 to rotate, the rollers 52 rotate with the rotating shafts 51, thereby realizing the conveying of the glass.
[0024] The cleaning mechanism 6 includes four water pipes 61, which are erected in the cleaning chamber 4 and arranged in a rectangle on both sides of the glass. Several nozzles 62 are spaced apart along the length of each water pipe 61, and the nozzles 62 are angled away from the side of the glass and away from the drying chamber 3. The four water pipes 61 are connected by a main water pipe, the inlet of which is connected to a pump 63. The pump 63 is located on the top of the casing 1 and connected to the cleaning fluid. The pump 63 pumps the cleaning fluid into the water pipes 61 and sprays it out from the nozzles 62, thereby cleaning the glass.
[0025] The drying chamber 3 is equipped with side support mechanisms 7 at the bottom and top, respectively. The side support mechanisms 7 are used to support the glass from both sides to ensure that the glass is vertical. Specifically, the side support mechanism 7 includes a horizontal frame 71 arranged horizontally on both sides of the glass. Several side support rollers 72 are arranged at intervals along the length of the horizontal frame 71. The side support rollers 72 are rotatably connected to the horizontal frame 71 and are used to abut against the sides of the glass to support the glass, thereby ensuring that the glass is vertical.
[0026] The air drying mechanism 8 includes two opposing air ducts 81, which are inclinedly erected in the air drying chamber 3 and located on both sides of the glass. Several air outlets are spaced along the length of each air duct 81, facing the sides of the glass. An air inlet 82 connects the two air ducts 81, located at the top of the casing 1. An exhaust fan 83 is connected to the air inlet 82, and its inlet is connected to the outside via a pipe. A filter plate is installed in the pipe connected to the exhaust fan 83 to filter dust from the airflow. The exhaust fan 83 draws air into the air ducts 81 and blows it out from the air outlets, thus drying the glass from both sides. The inclined erection of the air ducts 81 increases their length within the air drying chamber 3, improving drying efficiency.
[0027] The bottom of the chassis 1 is equipped with a drain outlet and an exhaust outlet. The drain outlet is connected to the cleaning chamber 4 and is used to connect to an external drainage pipe to discharge the cleaning water. The exhaust outlet is connected to the drying chamber 3 and is used to connect to an external exhaust pipe to discharge the induced air.
[0028] Doors 9 are respectively installed on the front panel of the chassis 1, opposite to the cleaning chamber 4 and the drying chamber 3. One side of the door 9 is rotatably connected to the chassis 1, and the other side of the door 9 is connected to the chassis 1 through a locking assembly. The doors 9 facilitate maintenance of the cleaning chamber 4 and the drying chamber 3. The doors 9 are equipped with a viewing window 91 and a handle 92. The viewing window 91 is used to observe the working conditions inside the cleaning chamber 4 and the drying chamber 3, and the handle 92 facilitates opening and closing the doors 9.
[0029] The chassis 1 is equipped with a PLC controller 10. The output terminal of the PLC controller 10 is connected to the controlled terminals of the conveying mechanism 5, the washing mechanism 6, the horizontal conveyor belt and the drying mechanism 8 respectively. Specifically, the output terminal of the PLC controller 10 is connected to the controlled terminals of the motor 55, the pump 63, the horizontal conveyor belt and the induced draft fan 83 respectively. In use, the automatic control of the device is realized through the PLC controller 10.
[0030] In use, the glass enters the drying chamber 3 vertically through the inlet and outlet. Inside the drying chamber 3, the glass is conveyed to the cleaning chamber 4 by a horizontal conveyor belt. Simultaneously, the side rollers 72 maintain the glass's vertical orientation. After entering the cleaning chamber 4, the glass remains vertical under the action of the conveying mechanism 5 and moves into position under its drive. The cleaning mechanism 6 then cleans both sides of the glass simultaneously. After cleaning, the conveying mechanism 5 reverses its direction, causing the glass to enter the drying chamber 3. The glass in the drying chamber 3 moves into position under the reverse drive of the horizontal conveyor belt, and the drying mechanism 8 simultaneously dries both sides of the glass. After drying, the horizontal conveyor belt continues to reverse its direction, causing the glass to be vertically output through the inlet and outlet.
