[0028] As shown in Figure 1 A crucible outer wall cleaning device, comprising a rack 100, the rack 100 is provided with conveying mechanism 200, positioning mechanism 300, rotating cleaning mechanism 400, dust collecting mechanism 500 and lifting mechanism 600;The structure and function of each mechanism are as follows:

[0029] As an example, the conveying mechanism 200 is used to convey the crucible 700 to be cleaned to the positioning mechanism 300 of the device. In the process of specific implementation of the present embodiment, referring to Figure 1 , a roller conveying line is adopted to facilitate the continuous processing and efficient circulation of the crucible; in other embodiments, the conveying mechanism 200 can also adopt the form of a conveyor belt and the like.

[0030] As an example, the positioning mechanism 300 is used for precise positioning of the crucible 700 on the conveying mechanism 200, ensuring the stability of the crucible during the cleaning process. In the implementation process of the present embodiment, see Figure 2 , the positioning mechanism 300 specifically comprises a pressing assembly 310 and a clamping assembly 320. Among them, the pressing assembly 310 is arranged above the conveying mechanism 200, and the edge at the top of the crucible 700 is pressed and fixed by a driving device such as a pneumatic cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder, to prevent it from moving during the cleaning process. The clamping assembly 320 is located at the bottom of the crucible 700, and the crucible 700 is clamped and fixed by a jaw or other clamping mechanism, further enhancing the positioning effect. When the device is working, the crucible 700 to be cleaned is placed on the conveying mechanism 200, and then the conveying mechanism 200 conveys the crucible 700 to the positioning mechanism 300. The pressing assembly 310 moves downward to press and fix the crucible 700, and at the same time the clamping assembly 320 clamps and fixes the bottom of the crucible 700, thereby completing the positioning of the crucible 700.

[0031] As an example, the rotary cleaning mechanism 400 is used for cleaning the outer wall of the crucible 700 that has been positioned on the conveying mechanism 200. In the implementation process of the present embodiment, see Figure 3 , the rotary cleaning mechanism 400 comprises a support 410, a driving assembly 420 and a scraper assembly 430. Among them, the support 410 serves as the main structure of the rotary cleaning mechanism 400 and is connected to the lifting mechanism 600; and the driving assembly 420 and the scraper assembly 430 are arranged on the support 410 and are driven to ascend and descend synchronously under the driving of the lifting mechanism 600; the scraper assembly 430 directly contacts the outer wall of the crucible for cleaning and can be customized according to the shape and material of the crucible. The driving assembly 420 is used to drive the scraper assembly 430 to rotate, so as to realize the rotary cleaning of the outer wall of the crucible.

[0032] In the implementation process of the present embodiment, see Figure 3 , the driving assembly 420 in the rotary cleaning mechanism 400 comprises a rotary driving motor 421, a turntable 422 and a limiting wheel set 423. Among them, the support 410 is provided with a connecting hole 411, the turntable 422 is rotatably arranged in the connecting hole 411, and the limiting wheel set 423 is arranged around the outer periphery of the connecting hole 411; the outer wall of the turntable 422 is provided with a limiting ring groove, and the limiting wheel set 423 is in rolling connection with the limiting ring groove, so as to realize the relative rotation of the turntable 422 and the limiting wheel set 423. A driving wheel fixedly installed on the output shaft of the rotary driving motor 421 is arranged between the driving wheel and the turntable 422, and a transmission belt is arranged between the driving wheel and the turntable 422. The output shaft of the rotary driving motor 421 drives the turntable 422 to rotate through the driving wheel and the transmission belt; the scraper assembly 430 is connected to the lower end of the turntable 422, and the scraper assembly 430 rotates with the turntable 422 to clean the outer wall of the crucible.

[0033] As an example, the dust collection mechanism 500 is used to collect the dust generated during cleaning in a synchronous manner, keeping the working environment clean. In the implementation of the present embodiment, refer to Figure 4 The dust collection mechanism 500 includes a dust collection ring 510, a dust collection pipe joint 520, and a flexible hose 530. The dust collection ring 510 is fixedly connected below the support 410 and surrounds the outer periphery of the rotating disc 422. The dust collection ring 510 is provided with a plurality of dust suction holes distributed along the circumferential direction, which are connected to an external dust collection device to collect the dust generated during the cleaning of the scraper assembly 430. In addition, the dust collection pipe joint 520 is fixedly installed on the rack 100 and is in communication with the external dust collection device. The two ends of the flexible hose 530 are connected to the dust collection pipe joint 520 and the dust collection ring 510, respectively, to ensure the dust collection effect while adapting to the movement of the lifting mechanism 600.

[0034] As an example, the lifting mechanism 600 is used to drive the rotating cleaning mechanism 400 and the dust collection mechanism 500 to move up and down synchronously to adapt to the different heights of the crucible or adjust the cleaning position. In the implementation of the present embodiment, refer to Figure 5 The lifting mechanism 600 includes a lifting drive motor 610, a synchronous drive shaft 620, two drive sprockets 630, two tension sprockets 640, and two chains 650. The two drive sprockets 630 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the synchronous drive shaft 620, and the tension sprockets 640 are arranged in pairs with the drive sprockets 630 one by one. The two chains 650 are each in transmission connection with one pair of drive sprockets 630 and tension sprockets 640. The two ends of the support 410 are connected to the two chains 650, respectively. The lifting drive motor 610 is used to drive the synchronous drive shaft 620 to rotate, and the lifting movement of the support 410 is realized through chain transmission, so that the height of the entire rotating cleaning mechanism 400 and the dust collection mechanism 500 can be adjusted flexibly. When it is necessary to clean the outer wall of the crucible at different heights, the lifting drive motor 610 is used to drive the synchronous drive shaft 620 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive sprockets 630, the tension sprockets 640, and the chains 650 to move, so that the support 410, together with the rotating cleaning mechanism 400 and the dust collection mechanism 500, moves up and down synchronously to adapt to the cleaning requirements at different heights.

[0035] The present application realizes the automation of the cleaning of the outer wall of the crucible, improves the cleaning efficiency, reduces dust pollution, ensures the cleanliness of the working environment and the health of the operators, and solves the problems of low cleaning efficiency, poor effect, and harm to the health of the operators in the prior art.

[0036] The pressing assembly 310 and the clamping assembly 320 of the positioning mechanism 300 can stably position the crucible, thereby ensuring the stability of the cleaning process and the cleaning effect.

[0037] The unique design of the rotary cleaning mechanism 400 enables the scraper assembly 430 to efficiently and completely clean the outer wall of the crucible.

[0038] The dust collection mechanism 500 can simultaneously collect dust during the cleaning process, thereby effectively reducing the environmental pollution caused by the dust generated during the cleaning process, maintaining the cleanliness of the working environment and protecting the health of the operator.

[0039] The lifting mechanism 600 can simultaneously lift the rotary cleaning mechanism 400 and the dust collection mechanism 500, thereby cleaning the upper and lower parts of the outer wall of the crucible, and enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the equipment.

[0040] For the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments and the features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined to obtain new embodiments.

[0041] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the present application in any form. The protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
