Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pallet cleaning technology, specifically a pallet cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Pallets that are used frequently will wear down. If they are not cleaned and maintained in time, dirt and corrosive substances may accelerate the aging and decay of the pallets. Regular cleaning and maintenance can keep the surface of the pallets clean and extend their service life.

[0003] Existing pallet cleaning equipment includes: a high-pressure water gun, a water pump, water pipes, and a water tank. The water pump draws water from the water tank into the water pipes to provide cleaning water for the high-pressure water gun. The high-pressure water gun then sprays the water onto the pallet surface to clean it.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned device still has some problems. When using a high-pressure water gun to clean the pallet, the pallet is subjected to the impact force of the high-pressure water gun and moves, resulting in poor cleaning effect. At the same time, when using a high-pressure water gun to clean the pallet, it is easy to damage the paint on the surface of the pallet and reduce the service life of the pallet. Therefore, a pallet cleaning device is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and address the problems of existing equipment, this utility model proposes a pallet cleaning device.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is a pallet cleaning device, including: a cleaning box, the inside of which L-shaped limiting grooves are symmetrically opened, and limiting frames are slidably connected inside both sets of L-shaped limiting grooves. A support frame is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two sets of limiting frames. A placement groove is opened on the support frame, and a support groove is symmetrically opened on the placement groove. A support rod is slidably connected inside the support groove. A baffle is fixedly connected to one side of the support rod. An arc-shaped fixing plate is fixedly connected to one end of the support rod. A support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the arc-shaped fixing plate. The arc-shaped fixing plate is located inside the placement groove. A spring is fixedly connected to one side of the arc-shaped fixing plate. One end of the spring is fixedly connected to one side of the support frame. A hollow rod is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting frame. A buffer rod is slidably connected inside the hollow rod. When the buffer rod collides with the inside of the L-shaped limiting groove, it compresses the air inside the hollow rod, increasing the pressure inside the hollow rod, thereby alleviating the impact force between the limiting frame and the L-shaped limiting groove.

[0007] Preferably, the buffer rod is located inside the L-shaped limiting groove, a drain pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning box, a control valve is installed inside the drain pipe, and a first hollow brush rod is rotatably connected inside the cleaning box. After cleaning, the control valve is opened to allow the cleaning water to be discharged from the drain pipe.

[0008] Preferably, one end of the first hollow brush rod is fixedly connected to a first limiting shaft, the surface of the first limiting shaft is connected to a transmission belt, the inner wall of the transmission belt is connected to a second limiting shaft, and one side of the second limiting shaft is fixedly connected to a drive motor. The first and second limiting shafts can limit the movement range of the transmission belt, thereby preventing the transmission belt from slipping.

[0009] Preferably, a base plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive motor, one side of the base plate is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning box, and a second hollow brush rod is fixedly connected to the other side of the second limiting shaft. When the drive motor is started, the second hollow brush rod can be driven to rotate synchronously through the second limiting shaft.

[0010] Preferably, both ends of the second hollow brush rod are rotatably connected to the inside of the cleaning box. Both the first and second hollow brush rods have water outlet holes. One end of both the first and second hollow brush rods is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe. When the first and second hollow brush rods rotate, the cleaning water is thrown outward by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation, so that the cleaning water comes into full contact with the tray.

[0011] Preferably, a transmission pipe is rotatably connected inside the connecting pipe, a water tank is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cleaning box, a water pump is provided on one side of the water tank, and the output end of the water pump is fixedly connected to the transmission pipe. When the water pump is started, the cleaning water in the water tank is pumped into the transmission pipe, and the cleaning water is transmitted to the first hollow brush rod and the second hollow brush rod through the connecting pipe.

[0012] The advantages of this invention are: the cleaning device can lightly fix the outer side and bottom of the tray. The tray is placed between two sets of arc-shaped fixing plates, so that its bottom outer side is in contact with the support plate. When the arc-shaped fixing plates are released, the pressure on the spring is reduced, causing the arc-shaped fixing plates to come into contact with the surface of the tray, thereby reducing the range of movement of the tray during cleaning. Because the spring itself can expand and contract under external force, there is a certain space between the arc-shaped fixing plates and the tray when cleaning the tray, so that the tray can fully contact the cleaning water and brush bristles, thereby improving the cleaning quality of the tray.

[0013] When cleaning a pallet, the cleaning water enters the first and second hollow brush rods through the connecting pipe. Driven by the drive motor and the conveyor belt, the two rotate synchronously. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the cleaning water causes it to be thrown outward through the water outlet, reducing the impact of the cleaning water on the pallet. At the same time, the brush bristles are in direct contact with the pallet during cleaning, avoiding damage to the pallet surface and thus extending the service life of the pallet.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-5As shown, a pallet cleaning device includes: a cleaning box 1, with L-shaped limiting grooves 2 symmetrically formed inside the cleaning box 1. Limiting frames 3 are slidably connected inside both sets of L-shaped limiting grooves 2. Support frames 4 are fixedly connected to one side of each set of limiting frames 3. Placement grooves 5 are formed on the support frames 4, and support grooves 6 are symmetrically formed on the placement grooves 5. Support rods 7 are slidably connected inside the support grooves 6. A baffle is fixedly connected to one side of the support rod 7, and an arc-shaped fixing plate 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the support rod 7. The bottom of the arc-shaped fixing plate 8 is fixedly connected to... There is a support plate 9, an arc-shaped fixing plate 8 located inside the placement groove 5, a spring 10 fixedly connected to one side of the arc-shaped fixing plate 8, one end of the spring 10 fixedly connected to one side of the support frame 4, a hollow rod 11 fixedly connected to one side of the limiting frame 3, a buffer rod 12 slidably connected inside the hollow rod 11, the buffer rod 12 is located inside the L-shaped limiting groove 2, a drain pipe 13 fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning box 1, a control valve 14 is installed inside the drain pipe 13, and a first hollow brush rod 15 is rotatably connected inside the cleaning box 1;

[0023] Frequently used pallets are subject to wear and tear, and dirt and corrosive substances can accelerate their aging and decay. Regular cleaning and maintenance can keep the pallet surface clean and extend its service life, thus requiring a pallet cleaning device. In actual use, the support frame 4 is pulled out of the cleaning box 1, causing the limiting frame 3 to move within the L-shaped limiting groove 2. When the buffer rod 12 collides with the inside of the L-shaped limiting groove 2, it compresses the air inside the hollow rod 11, increasing the pressure inside the hollow rod 11, thereby mitigating the impact force between the limiting frame 3 and the L-shaped limiting groove 2, and placing the tray 5... The two sets of arc-shaped fixing plates 8 inside are pushed to both sides, and then the tray is placed between the two sets of arc-shaped fixing plates 8 so that its bottom outer side is in contact with the support plate 9. The arc-shaped fixing plates 8 are released, the pressure on the spring 10 decreases, and the arc-shaped fixing plates 8 are moved to contact the surface of the tray. At the same time, the support rod 7 is moved in the support groove 6. Thus, with the cooperation of the arc-shaped fixing plates 8, the support plate 9 and the support rod 7, the outside of the tray is fixed, reducing the range of movement of the tray during cleaning. At the same time, it can place and fix trays of different sizes, thereby improving the cleaning quality when cleaning the tray.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-5As shown, a first limiting shaft 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the first hollow brush rod 15. A transmission belt 17 is driven to the surface of the first limiting shaft 16. A second limiting shaft 18 is driven to the inner wall of the transmission belt 17. A drive motor 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the second limiting shaft 18. A base plate 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the drive motor 19. One side of the base plate 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning box 1. A second hollow brush rod 21 is fixedly connected to the other side of the second limiting shaft 18. Both ends of the second hollow brush rod 21 are rotatably connected to the inside of the cleaning box 1. Water outlet holes 22 are opened on both the first hollow brush rod 15 and the second hollow brush rod 21. A connecting pipe 23 is fixedly connected to one end of both the first hollow brush rod 15 and the second hollow brush rod 21. A transmission pipe 26 is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting pipe 23. A water tank 24 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the cleaning box 1. A water pump 25 is provided on one side of the water tank 24. The output end of the water pump 25 is fixedly connected to the transmission pipe 26.

[0025] After securing the tray, push the support frame 4 into the cleaning tank 1, close the tank door, and start the water pump 25 to draw the cleaning water from the water tank 24 into the transmission pipe 26. The cleaning water is then transmitted through the connecting pipe 23 to the first hollow brush rod 15 and the second hollow brush rod 21, and flows out through the water outlet 22. Subsequently, start the drive motor 19 to drive the second limit shaft 18 and the second hollow brush rod 21 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission belt 17 to rotate, thereby driving the first limit shaft 16 and the first hollow brush rod 15 to rotate synchronously. Since the first hollow brush rod 15 and the second hollow brush rod 21 are located on the upper and lower sides of the support frame 4 respectively, and the tray is secured by the elastic force of the spring 10, the tray has a certain amount of space to move between the two sets of arc-shaped fixing plates 8. Thus, when rotating, the cleaning water is driven by the centrifugal force of the rotation and thrown outward, thereby enabling a thorough cleaning of the tray.

[0026] Working principle: Push the two sets of arc-shaped fixing plates 8 in the placement slot 5 to both sides, then place the tray between the two sets of arc-shaped fixing plates 8, so that its bottom outer side is in contact with the support plate 9. Release the arc-shaped fixing plates 8, the pressure on the spring 10 decreases, causing the arc-shaped fixing plates 8 to contact the surface of the tray, and at the same time, causing the support rod 7 to move in the support slot 6. Thus, with the cooperation of the arc-shaped fixing plates 8, the support plate 9 and the support rod 7, the outside of the tray is fixed, and the support frame 4 can be pushed into the cleaning box 1. After closing the box door, start the water pump 25 to draw the cleaning water in the water tank 24 into the transmission pipe 26, and then transmit the cleaning water to the first hollow brush rod 15 and the second hollow brush rod 16 through the connecting pipe 23. Inside the two hollow brush rods 21, the drive motor 19 is then started, driving the second limit shaft 18 and the second hollow brush rod 21 to rotate. This drives the transmission belt 17 to transmit power, thereby driving the first limit shaft 16 and the first hollow brush rod 15 to rotate synchronously. Since the first hollow brush rod 15 and the second hollow brush rod 21 are located on the upper and lower sides of the support frame 4 respectively, when rotating, the cleaning water is driven by the centrifugal force and thrown outward, thus enabling a thorough cleaning of the tray. After cleaning, the control valve 14 is opened, allowing the cleaning water to drain from the drain pipe 13. Then, the door of the cleaning box 1 is opened, and the support frame 4 is pulled outward to remove the cleaned tray.
