[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a cleaning machine for winemaking production tools. The cleaning machine includes a frame 10, a cleaning tank 20, a storage rack 30, a spray pipe 50, a drive motor, a recycling bin 60, a circulating water tank 70, and a cleaning pump 80.
[0031] In this embodiment, the frame 10 is frame-shaped and specifically divided into upper and lower layers. The cleaning tank 20 is fixedly installed on the upper layer of the frame 10 and is used to hold cleaning fluid. Side panels 11 are provided on the left, right, and rear sides of the upper layer of the frame 10, and an openable door panel 12 is provided on the front side of the upper layer of the frame 10 to facilitate the placement of tools into the cleaning tank 20. Casters 13 are provided at the bottom of the frame 10 for easy movement.
[0032] In this embodiment, the shelf 30 is rotatably disposed within the washing tub 20. The shelf 30 is used to support tools and implements that rotate within the washing tub 20. See details. Figure 3 The shelf 30 preferably includes a rotating shaft 31, a connecting plate 32, and several supporting supports 33. The rotating shaft 31 is vertically arranged in the middle of the washing tub 20, and the upper end of the rotating shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the middle of the connecting plate 32. Several supporting supports 33 are radially distributed on the edge of the connecting plate 32 to facilitate the even placement of tools.
[0033] In this embodiment, the drive motor is used to drive the shelf 30 to rotate. The drive motor is preferably connected to the lower end of the rotating shaft 31. The drive motor can be optionally fixedly installed on the lower layer of the frame 10, and the rotating shaft 31 can extend out of the bottom of the washing tub 20 and connect to the drive motor.
[0034] In this embodiment, the support bracket 33 is strip-shaped, specifically including a fixed end and a suspended end. The fixed end of the support bracket 33 faces inward and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 32, while the suspended end of the support bracket 33 faces outward and is fixedly provided with a clamping member 40, which is used to clamp the tool. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the shelf 30 can also be designed as other conventional hanging racks to cooperate with the clamping member 40 to clamp the tool as needed.
[0035] In this embodiment, the clamping member 40 is used to clamp the handle of the tool, placing the tool in the cleaning tub 20 with its head facing downwards. The clamping member 40 preferably includes a U-shaped spring plate fixedly disposed at the bottom of the support bracket 33, with the opening of the U-shaped spring plate facing outwards radially along the connecting plate 32. This U-shaped spring plate can accommodate handles of different diameters for different production tools, allowing the tool to be clamped at the suspended end of the support bracket 33 with the handle vertically upwards and the head facing downwards. It should be noted that some embodiments may also use conventional clamping members such as buckles and grippers, depending on requirements.
[0036] In this embodiment, the shelf 30 is specifically provided with 12 support brackets 33, each of which is equipped with a U-shaped spring plate, so that the shelf 30 can hold 12 tools at the same time. It should be noted that some embodiments can be provided with other numbers of support brackets 33 as needed, which will not be described here.
[0037] In this embodiment, the spray pipe 50 is fixedly installed above the cleaning tank 20. A nozzle is provided on the spray pipe 50 to spray cleaning fluid downwards towards the clamping member 40, allowing the cleaning fluid to rinse the tool clamped on the clamping member 40. Preferably, the spray pipe 50 in this embodiment includes a first branch pipe 51 and a second branch pipe 52, which are arranged at right angles in the horizontal direction. The first branch pipe 51 is located on the rearward side of the cleaning tank 20, and the second branch pipe 52 is located on the left or right side of the cleaning tank 20, allowing the rotating tool to pass through a longer spray path, ensuring effective cleaning.
[0038] In this embodiment, during use, the drive motor drives the rack 30 to rotate, so that the tools to be cleaned rotate in the cleaning tank 20 to simulate soaking and rinsing, and pass through the spray pipe 50 to simulate rinsing, which can improve the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect of the tools; the cleaning liquid sprayed by the spray pipe 50 can remain in the cleaning tank 20, saving water resources.
[0039] In this embodiment, a recovery box 60 is provided below the cleaning tank 20. The recovery box 60 is movably mounted on the lower layer of the frame 10 by a push-pull mechanism. The recovery box 60 is connected to the cleaning tank 20, and a filter screen is provided at the bottom of the recovery box 60. The cleaning liquid discharged from the cleaning tank 20 passes through the recovery box 60. The materials mixed in with the cleaning liquid will be retained in the recovery box 60 when passing through the filter screen. The recovery box 60 can be pulled out to facilitate the recovery of materials and avoid material waste.
[0040] In this embodiment, a circulating water tank 70 is provided below the recovery tank 60. The recovery tank 60 is specifically fixedly installed on the lower layer of the frame 10. The circulating water tank 70 is used to contain the cleaning fluid discharged from the cleaning tank 20. In this embodiment, the inlet end of the cleaning pump 80 is connected to the recovery tank 60 through an inlet pipe 81, and the outlet end of the cleaning pump 80 is connected to the spray pipe 50 through an outlet pipe 82. The cleaning pump 80 can pump the cleaning fluid in the circulating water tank 70 to the spray pipe 50 for reuse, thus saving water resources. The outlet pipe 82 is preferably connected to the ends of the first branch pipe 51 and the second branch pipe 52 that are close to each other, so as to ensure that the coolant flows through the first branch pipe 51 and the second branch pipe 52 along approximately the same path, thus ensuring the spraying effect.
[0041] In this embodiment, a three-way valve 83 is also provided on the water outlet pipe 82. The three-way valve 83 is used to connect to the drain pipe to drain the wastewater in the circulating water tank 70 after cleaning, so as to facilitate the replacement of the cleaning solution.
[0042] The cleaning machine in this embodiment also includes a control module 90, which integrates a touch screen and a controller. The controller is electrically connected to the drive motor and the cleaning pump 80. The operating time of the drive motor and the cleaning pump 80 is controlled by operating the controller through the touch screen, enabling automation of the cleaning process. In this embodiment, the control module 90 is fixed on the outside of the frame 10, preferably arranged on the opposite side of the second branch pipe 52, with a considerable distance between them to prevent water from the spray pipe 50 from splashing onto the control module 90. It should be noted that using a controller to control the operation of the motor and pump is existing technology, therefore it will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0043] During the cleaning process, cleaning solution is first added to the cleaning tank 20; then the tools to be cleaned are clamped on the suspension end of the support bracket 33; then the cleaning time is set via the touch screen and the drive motor and cleaning pump 80 are started; next, wait for the drive motor and cleaning pump 80 to stop working; finally, the cleaned tools are taken out, the recycling bin 60 is pulled out to collect the materials, and the wastewater is discharged through the three-way valve 83.
[0044] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
[0045] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
