Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spray gun cleaning technology, specifically a spray gun cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, pressure-feed spray guns are widely used for spraying liquids such as paints, varnishes, and coolants due to their high efficiency and flexible spraying capabilities. However, with the increase of usage time, various stains, such as paint residue, dust, and grease, will gradually accumulate inside and outside the spray gun. These stains will not only reduce the spraying effect of the spray gun, such as causing uneven spraying, particle formation, or spray shape deformation, but may also cause the spray gun to become clogged. In severe cases, it may even lead to damage to the spray gun, affecting production efficiency and product quality. Therefore, regularly cleaning the spray gun to remove stains and residues is a key step in maintaining the performance of the spray gun, extending its service life, and ensuring smooth production.
[0003] Traditional spray gun cleaning methods mostly involve manual brushing or soaking. While manual brushing can remove stains to some extent, it is inefficient and cannot guarantee thorough and uniform cleaning. Soaking can clean the spray gun more comprehensively, but the soaking solution often contains a large number of harmful chemicals, which not only pollute the environment but may also corrode the spray gun material and shorten its service life. Therefore, we propose a spray gun cleaning device. Utility Model Content

The diversion pipe 63 passes through the through hole in the middle of the front side of the water storage tank 9 and is fixedly connected to the flushing nozzle 65 inside the waste liquid tank 7. By starting the water pump 61, the water pump 61 pumps water into the water storage tank 9 through the liquid inlet pipe 62, and then delivers it to the flushing nozzle 65 in the waste liquid tank 7 through the conveying pipe 64 and the diversion pipe 63. The flushing nozzle 65 flushes the spray gun during the brushing process. The top of the conveying pipe 64 is connected to the connecting component provided at the rear end of the top of the cleaning tank 1. The connecting component includes a fixed pipe 12, a control valve 13, and a spray gun feed interface connecting pipe 14. The fixed pipe 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the conveying pipe 64. The control valve 13 is provided in the middle of the fixed pipe 12. The spray gun feed interface connecting pipe 14 is provided at the top of the fixed pipe 12.

The controller 3 allows users to control the motor 51 and the water pump 61 separately. Simultaneously, the controller 3 can receive the liquid level signal sensed by the liquid level sensor 11, thus promptly reminding the user to inject cleaning fluid into the water storage tank 9 through the injection pipe 10.
[0018] Working principle of the utility model: When in use, insert the pressure-fed spray gun to be cleaned into the gun head insertion and cleaning hole 2 at the top of the cleaning box 1. The rubber sheet 4 provided with a "rice" - shaped through groove can closely fit the outer part of the spray gun barrel, ensuring that the cleaning liquid will not splash out from the gun head insertion and cleaning hole 2.

The teeth on the driving gear 54 mesh with the external tooth ring on the outer side of the rotating external tooth seat 53. Therefore, the driving gear 54 can drive the rotating external tooth seat 53 to rotate on the fixed internal tooth seat 52. During the rotation of the rotating external tooth seat 53, it will drive the fixing plate 58 and the connecting shaft 56 at its bottom to rotate. Through the engagement of the driven gear 55 at the top of the connecting shaft 56 with the internal tooth ring inside the fixed internal tooth seat 52, the connecting shaft 56 can drive the nozzle brush 57 to rotate. While the rotating external tooth seat 53 drives the nozzle brush 57 to rotate, the nozzle brush 57 rotates self - driven by the driven gear 55, so as to more comprehensively brush the nozzle part and the barrel part of the spray gun. When the water pump 61 operates, the water pump 61 pumps water into the water storage bin 9 through the liquid inlet pipe 62, and then transports it to the flushing nozzle 65 in the waste liquid bin 7 through the delivery pipe 64 and the shunt pipe 63. The flushing nozzle 65 flushes the spray gun during the brushing process, washing away the residual cleaning liquid and stains. When cleaning the inside of the spray gun, connect the spray gun feeding interface connecting pipe 14 to the feeding interface on the spray gun inserted in the gun head insertion and cleaning hole 2, then open the control valve 13, so that the delivery pipe 64 sends the cleaning liquid through the fixed pipe 12 and the spray gun feeding interface connecting pipe 14 into the spray gun, and finally sprays from the spray gun nozzle to the waste liquid bin 7, and the waste liquid after cleaning is discharged out through the waste discharge pipe 8. During the cleaning and flushing process, the liquid level sensor 11 will monitor the liquid level in the water storage bin 9 in real - time. When the liquid level is lower than the set value, the liquid level sensor 11 will send a signal to the controller 3 to remind the user to inject cleaning liquid into the water storage bin 9 in time through the liquid injection pipe 10.
