Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of mechanical technology, specifically to a cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] When the cleaning device is running, the cleaning liquid droplets in the cleaning liquid tank are heated and easily form cleaning liquid vapor. When the cleaning liquid vapor is discharged through the exhaust pipe, because the temperature of the exhaust pipe is lower than the temperature of the cleaning liquid vapor, some of the cleaning liquid vapor condenses on the U-shaped tube of the exhaust pipe, forming cleaning liquid droplets that collect at the bottom of the U-shaped tube of the exhaust pipe.
[0003] Currently, operators typically drain the cleaning fluid droplets from the bottom of the U-tube once a week, and then discard the drained droplets directly, resulting in a significant waste of cleaning fluid and high production costs. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a cleaning device that can solve the technical problem in the prior art where operators directly discard the discharged cleaning fluid droplets, resulting in a huge waste of cleaning fluid and high production costs.
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a cleaning device comprising: a cleaning tank, a cleaning liquid tank, an exhaust vent, an exhaust pipe, and a return pipe. The cleaning liquid tank is connected to the cleaning tank and is used to add cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank. The exhaust vent is connected to the cleaning tank and is used to discharge cleaning liquid vapor formed by the evaporation of some of the cleaning liquid. The exhaust pipe is connected to the end of the exhaust vent away from the cleaning tank. The exhaust pipe includes an inverted U-shaped pipe and a U-shaped pipe that are interconnected. One end of the inverted U-shaped pipe is connected to the exhaust vent, and the other end of the inverted U-shaped pipe is connected to the U-shaped pipe. One end of the return pipe is connected to the bottom of the U-shaped pipe, and the other end of the return pipe is connected to the cleaning liquid tank.
[0006] In some embodiments, the cleaning device further includes a condenser having an air inlet and an air outlet, and the end of the U-shaped tube away from the inverted U-shaped tube being connected to the air inlet.
[0007] In some embodiments, the condenser includes a condenser housing and a condenser element, with an air inlet and an air outlet disposed on the condenser housing and the condenser element disposed inside the condenser housing.
[0008] In some embodiments, the air inlet is located at the bottom of the condenser housing, and the air outlet is located at the top of the condenser housing.
[0009] In some embodiments, the condenser is a condenser fin.
[0010] In some embodiments, the cleaning apparatus further includes a filter disposed on the return pipe.
[0011] In some embodiments, the filter is located at one end of the return pipe near the cleaning fluid tank.
[0012] In some embodiments, the filter is a stainless steel filter.
[0013] In some embodiments, the filter element has a pore size of less than or equal to 5 μm.
[0014] In some embodiments, the cleaning device further includes a regulating valve, through which the return pipe is connected to the bottom of the U-shaped pipe.
[0015] The advantages of this application are: the cleaning device of this application includes a return pipe, one end of which is connected to the bottom of the U-shaped tube, and the other end of which is connected to the cleaning liquid tank. This allows a portion of the cleaning liquid vapor (first cleaning liquid vapor) formed by the evaporation of the cleaning liquid to condense on the U-shaped tube and form first cleaning liquid droplets, which are then returned to the cleaning liquid tank through the return pipe. This recycling of the first cleaning liquid droplets avoids the waste of cleaning liquid caused by directly discarding the first cleaning liquid droplets, thereby improving the utilization rate of the cleaning liquid and helping to reduce production costs.
[0016] The cleaning apparatus of this application also includes a condenser, which can condense a portion of the other part (second cleaning liquid vapor) (first sub-cleaning liquid vapor) in the cleaning liquid vapor to form second cleaning liquid droplets, and return them to the cleaning liquid tank through a return pipe for recycling. This can further reduce the waste of cleaning liquid and improve the utilization rate of cleaning liquid, which is beneficial to reducing production costs. Attached Figure Description

[0031] Example 1
[0032] Please see Figure 1 This embodiment provides a cleaning device 100. The cleaning device 100 includes: a cleaning tank 1, a cleaning liquid tank 2, an exhaust port 3, an exhaust pipe 4, and a return pipe 5.
[0033] The cleaning fluid tank 2 is connected to the cleaning tank 1 and is used to add cleaning fluid to the cleaning tank 1. In this embodiment, the cleaning fluid tank 2 is located below the cleaning tank 1. It is worth noting that... Figure 1The connection between the cleaning fluid tank 2 and the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 via the connecting pipe is only used to indicate that the cleaning fluid flows from the cleaning fluid tank 2 to the cleaning tank 1 through the connecting pipe, and is not used to limit the connection position between the connecting pipe and the cleaning tank 1.
[0034] The exhaust vent 3 is connected to the cleaning tank 1. In this embodiment, two exhaust vents 3 are spaced apart above the cleaning tank 1. The exhaust vents 3 are mainly used to discharge some of the cleaning liquid vapor 6 formed during the heating process of the cleaning liquid.
[0035] The exhaust duct 4 is connected to the end of the exhaust port 3 furthest from the cleaning box 1. The exhaust duct 4 includes an inverted U-shaped pipe 41 and a U-shaped pipe 42 that are interconnected. One end of the inverted U-shaped pipe 41 is connected to the exhaust port 3, and the other end of the inverted U-shaped pipe 41 is connected to the U-shaped pipe 42. In this embodiment, the end of the U-shaped pipe 42 furthest from the inverted U-shaped pipe 41 is connected to the ambient air.
[0036] One end of the return pipe 5 is connected to the bottom of the U-shaped pipe 42, and the other end of the return pipe 5 is connected to the cleaning fluid tank 2.
[0037] Please see Figure 1 The cleaning fluid tank 2 adds cleaning fluid to the cleaning tank 1. Part of the cleaning fluid is heated and evaporates to form cleaning fluid vapor 6. A portion of the cleaning fluid vapor 6 (first cleaning fluid vapor 61) condenses on the U-shaped tube 42 to form first cleaning fluid droplets 7 and flows back to the cleaning fluid tank 2 through the return pipe 5. The other portion of the cleaning fluid vapor 6 (second cleaning fluid vapor 62) is discharged through the exhaust port 3 and the exhaust pipe 4. Specifically, because the temperature of the exhaust pipe 4 is lower than that of the cleaning fluid vapor 6, a portion of the cleaning fluid vapor 6 (first cleaning fluid vapor 61) easily condenses on the U-shaped tube 42 to form first cleaning fluid droplets 7, while the other portion of the cleaning fluid vapor 6 (second cleaning fluid vapor 62) is discharged from the end of the U-shaped tube 42 away from the inverted U-shaped tube 41 into the air environment.
[0038] In summary, the cleaning device 100 of this embodiment can condense a portion of the cleaning liquid vapor 6 (first cleaning liquid vapor 61) formed by the evaporation of the cleaning liquid on the U-shaped tube 42 to form the first cleaning liquid droplet 7, and return it to the cleaning liquid tank 2 through the return pipe 5, so as to recycle the first cleaning liquid droplet 7, avoid directly discarding the first cleaning liquid droplet 7 and causing waste of cleaning liquid, thereby improving the utilization rate of cleaning liquid and helping to reduce production costs.
[0039] Please see Figure 1 The cleaning device 100 also includes a filter 8. The filter 8 is disposed on the return pipe 5. This allows the filter 8 to filter impurities from the first cleaning droplet 7.
[0040] Please see Figure 1The filter 8 is located at the end of the return pipe 5 near the cleaning fluid tank 2. This allows the filter 8 to capture and filter impurities and contaminants in the first cleaning fluid droplet 7 to the maximum extent, ensuring that the first cleaning fluid droplet 7 undergoes final filtration before entering the cleaning fluid tank 2, thus improving the purity of the first cleaning fluid droplet 7 entering the cleaning fluid tank 2.
[0041] Among them, filter 8 is a stainless steel filter. This gives filter 8 high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, excellent pressure resistance, and excellent durability.
[0042] In this embodiment, the pore size of the filter element of filter 8 is less than or equal to 5 μm. The pore size of the filter element of filter 8 is 5 μm, which allows it to capture and prevent tiny particles with a diameter greater than 5 μm from passing through filter 8. This helps to improve the efficiency of filter 8 and ensures that the tiny particles in the first cleaning droplet 7 are effectively removed.
[0043] Example 2
[0044] Please see Figure 2 This embodiment provides a cleaning device 100. The cleaning device 100 includes: a cleaning tank 1, a cleaning liquid tank 2, an exhaust port 3, an exhaust pipe 4, a return pipe 5, and a condenser 9.
[0045] The cleaning fluid tank 2 is connected to the cleaning tank 1 and is used to add cleaning fluid to the cleaning tank 1. In this embodiment, the cleaning fluid tank 2 is located below the cleaning tank 1. It is worth noting that... Figure 1 The connection between the cleaning fluid tank 2 and the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 via the connecting pipe is only used to indicate that the cleaning fluid flows from the cleaning fluid tank 2 to the cleaning tank 1 through the connecting pipe, and is not used to limit the connection position between the connecting pipe and the cleaning tank 1.
[0046] The exhaust vent 3 is connected to the cleaning tank 1. In this embodiment, two exhaust vents 3 are spaced apart above the cleaning tank 1. The exhaust vents 3 are mainly used to discharge some of the cleaning liquid vapor 6 formed during the heating process of the cleaning liquid.
[0047] The exhaust pipe 4 is connected to the end of the exhaust port 3 furthest from the cleaning box 1. The exhaust pipe 4 includes an inverted U-shaped pipe 41 and a U-shaped pipe 42 that are interconnected. One end of the inverted U-shaped pipe 41 is connected to the exhaust port 3, and the other end of the inverted U-shaped pipe 41 is connected to the U-shaped pipe 42. In this embodiment, the end of the U-shaped pipe 42 furthest from the inverted U-shaped pipe 41 is connected to the condenser 9.
[0048] The condenser 9 includes a condenser housing 91 and a condenser element 92. The condenser 9 has an air inlet 911 and an air outlet 912, with one end of the U-shaped tube 42 away from the inverted U-shaped tube 41 connected to the air inlet 911. Specifically, the air inlet 911 and the air outlet 912 are located on the condenser housing 91. Furthermore, the air inlet 911 is located at the bottom of the condenser housing 91, and the air outlet 912 is located at the top of the condenser housing 91.
[0049] The condenser 92 is disposed within the condenser housing 91. In this embodiment, the condenser 92 is a condenser plate.
[0050] One end of the return pipe 5 is connected to the bottom of the U-shaped pipe 42, and the other end of the return pipe 5 is connected to the cleaning fluid tank 2.
[0051] Please see Figure 2 The cleaning fluid tank 2 adds cleaning fluid to the cleaning tank 1. Part of the cleaning fluid is heated and evaporates to form cleaning fluid vapor 6. A portion of the cleaning fluid vapor 6 (first cleaning fluid vapor 61) condenses on the U-shaped tube 42 to form first cleaning fluid droplets 7, which then flow back to the cleaning fluid tank 2 through the return pipe 5. Specifically, because the temperature of the exhaust pipe 4 is lower than the temperature of the cleaning fluid vapor 6, a portion of the cleaning fluid vapor 6 (first cleaning fluid vapor 61) easily condenses on the U-shaped tube 42 to form the first cleaning fluid droplets 7.
[0052] Please see Figure 2 A portion of the other part of the cleaning liquid vapor 6 (second cleaning liquid vapor 62) (first sub-cleaning liquid vapor 621) is condensed by the condenser 9 to form second cleaning liquid droplets 10 and flows back to the cleaning liquid tank 2 through the return pipe 5. The other portion of the other part of the cleaning liquid vapor 6 (second cleaning liquid vapor 62) (second sub-cleaning liquid vapor 622) is discharged through the outlet 912. Specifically, a portion of the other part of the cleaning liquid vapor 6 (second cleaning liquid vapor 62) (first sub-cleaning liquid vapor 621) is condensed by the condenser 92 to form second cleaning liquid droplets 10 and flows back to the cleaning liquid tank 2 through the return pipe 5; the other portion of the other part of the cleaning liquid vapor 6 (second cleaning liquid vapor 62) (second sub-cleaning liquid vapor 622) will be discharged into the air environment from the outlet 912.
[0053] In summary, the cleaning device 100 of this embodiment can condense a portion of the cleaning liquid vapor 6 (first cleaning liquid vapor 61) on the U-shaped tube 42 to form the first cleaning liquid droplet 7, and return it to the cleaning liquid tank 2 through the return pipe 5, so as to recycle the first cleaning liquid droplet 7, avoid directly discarding the first cleaning liquid droplet 7 and causing waste of cleaning liquid, thereby improving the utilization rate of cleaning liquid and helping to reduce production costs.
[0054] The cleaning device 100 in this embodiment can also condense a portion of another part (second cleaning liquid vapor 62) of the cleaning liquid vapor 6 (first sub-cleaning liquid vapor 621) into second cleaning liquid droplets 10 and return them to the cleaning liquid tank 2 through the condenser 9. By recycling the second cleaning liquid droplets 10, the waste of cleaning liquid can be further reduced and the utilization rate of cleaning liquid can be improved, which is conducive to reducing production costs.
[0055] Please see Figure 2 The cleaning device 100 also includes a filter 8. The filter 8 is disposed on the return pipe 5. Thus, the filter 8 can be used to filter impurities from the first cleaning droplet 7 and the second cleaning droplet 10.
[0056] Please see Figure 2 The filter 8 is located at the end of the return pipe 5 near the cleaning fluid tank 2. This allows the filter 8 to capture and filter impurities and contaminants in the first cleaning fluid droplet 7 and the second cleaning fluid droplet 10 to the maximum extent, ensuring that the first cleaning fluid droplet 7 and the second cleaning fluid droplet 10 undergo final filtration before entering the cleaning fluid tank 2, thus improving the purity of the first cleaning fluid droplet 7 and the second cleaning fluid droplet 10 entering the cleaning fluid tank 2.
[0057] Among them, filter 8 is a stainless steel filter. This gives filter 8 high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, excellent pressure resistance, and excellent durability.
[0058] In this embodiment, the filter element of filter 8 has a pore size of less than or equal to 5 μm. The pore size of the filter element in filter 8 is 5 μm, which allows it to capture and prevent tiny particles with a diameter greater than 5 μm from passing through filter 8. This helps improve the efficiency of filter 8 and ensures that tiny particles in the first cleaning droplet 7 and the second cleaning droplet 10 are effectively removed.

[0060] Please see Figure 3 This embodiment includes most of the technical features of Embodiment 1. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the cleaning device 100 in this embodiment further includes a regulating valve 11. The return pipe 5 is connected to the bottom of the U-shaped pipe 42 through the regulating valve 11. Thus, the flow rate of the first cleaning liquid droplet 7 entering the cleaning liquid tank 2 through the return pipe 5 can be controlled by the regulating valve 11, and the filter 8 can be replaced by closing the regulating valve 11.
[0061] Example 4
[0062] Please see Figure 4This embodiment includes most of the technical features of Embodiment 2. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 2 is that the cleaning device 100 in this embodiment further includes a regulating valve 11. The return pipe 5 is connected to the bottom of the U-shaped pipe 42 through the regulating valve 11.
