[0024] 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 protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-6 The present invention provides a technical solution as follows:

[0026] A cleaning device for a cream filling machine includes a top cover 1. A rinsing mechanism 2 is provided in the middle of the top cover 1. The top cover 1 is used to cover the hopper of the cream filling machine, so that the rinsing mechanism 2 can clean the inside of the hopper. A frustum plate 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the top cover 1. The frustum plate 5 is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, so as to accommodate hopper openings of different sizes. The side wall of the frustum plate 5 contacts the hopper opening, which can seal the hopper and prevent cleaning water from splashing out.

[0027] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the rinsing mechanism 2 includes a water inlet pipe 201, which is fixedly inserted into the center of the top cover 1. The top end of the water inlet pipe 201 extends outside the top cover 1 for connection with an external water supply device. The bottom end of the water inlet pipe 201 passes through the top cover 1 and the frustum plate 5 and is fixedly connected to a diversion box 202. The end of the diversion box 202 away from the water inlet pipe 201 is fixed and connected to a bottom rinsing pipe 204. The bottom rinsing pipe 204 extends downward along the axis of the hopper until it is close to the bottom of the hopper, so that the cleaning water can enter the filling component of the cream filling machine to rinse the filling component. Multiple side wall rinsing pipes 203 are fixed and connected to the periphery of the diversion box 202. The multiple side wall rinsing pipes 203 are arranged in a circular array with the axis of the diversion box 202 as the center, so as to rinse the inner peripheral wall of the hopper from different angles to ensure the rinsing effect.

[0028] In one embodiment, an adjustment mechanism 3 is provided at the edge of the top cover 1, and an ultrasonic transducer 4 is connected to the adjustment mechanism 3. The ultrasonic transducer 4 is externally connected to an ultrasonic generator (not shown in the figure) via a wire. The adjustment mechanism 3 is used to adjust the position of the ultrasonic transducer 4 so that the ultrasonic transducer 4 can contact the hopper, thereby using the cavitation effect to clean the hopper and improve the cleaning effect.

[0029] Specifically, the adjustment mechanism 3 includes multiple fixed plates 301, the top ends of which are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the top cover 1. The multiple fixed plates 301 are arranged in a circular array with the axis of the top cover 1 as the center. The fixed plates 301 extend along the length of the top cover 1, and the bottom ends of the fixed plates 301 are rotatably connected to brackets 302. The number of ultrasonic transducers 4 is the same as the number of brackets 302. Each bracket 302 is matched with one ultrasonic transducer 4, and the ultrasonic transducer 4 is fixedly installed on the end of the bracket 302 away from the fixed plate 301. By adjusting the rotation angle of the bracket 302, the relative position of the ultrasonic transducer 4 and the hopper can be adjusted.

[0030] Please see Figures 2-4 The adjustment mechanism 3 also includes a connecting rope 304. Connecting blocks 303 are fixedly connected to multiple supports 302. The connecting blocks 303 have through holes. The connecting rope 304 passes through multiple through holes at the same time and connects multiple connecting blocks 303 together in a ring. When the connecting rope 304 is tightened, it can simultaneously gather multiple connecting blocks 303 towards the center, thereby simultaneously driving multiple supports 302 to rotate, so that multiple ultrasonic transducers 4 simultaneously gather towards the hopper.

[0031] Combination Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 3 also includes a housing 305. A through groove is provided at the axis of the housing 305, which runs vertically through the housing 305. Both ends of the connecting rope 304 pass through the through groove and extend to the bottom of the housing 305. Anti-detachment components are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting rope 304 to prevent the ends of the connecting rope 304 from detaching from the housing 305. Two clamping plates 306 slide symmetrically on the inner wall of the housing 305. The clamping plates 306 are provided with teeth on the side near the connecting rope 304. The teeth are used to increase the friction between the clamping plates 306 and the connecting rope 304, preventing relative movement between the connecting rope 304 and the housing 305, thereby keeping the position of the ultrasonic transducer 4 stable. The end of the clamping plate 306 away from the connecting rope 304 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the housing 305 by springs. There are multiple springs to provide sufficient elastic force so that the two clamping plates 306 can clamp the connecting rope 304 tightly.

[0032] Furthermore, a pressing rod 307 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 306. The pressing rods 307 on the two clamping plates 306 are centrally symmetrical. One end of the pressing rod 307 passes through the side wall of the housing 305 on the opposite side of the clamping plate 306 and is fixedly connected to a pressing plate 308. When the two pressing plates 308 are pressed, the two clamping plates 306 can be moved away from each other, thereby releasing the limiting effect on the connecting rope 304 and allowing the connecting rope 304 to move within the housing 305.

[0033] As one implementation, the ultrasonic transducer 4 is covered with a silicone sleeve 401. By having the silicone sleeve 401 contact the surface of the hopper, it can prevent the ultrasonic transducer 4 from being directly and rigidly collided with the hopper and damaged when the connecting rope 304 is tightened. At the same time, it can ensure that the ultrasonic transducer 4, the silicone sleeve 401, and the hopper fit tightly together, thus ensuring the effectiveness of ultrasonic cleaning.

[0034] In use, the cleaning device for the cream filling machine of this utility model is first placed from top to bottom of the hopper, so that the connecting rope 304 is sleeved on the outside of the hopper. Several fixing plates 301 are distributed around the hopper, and the bottom flushing pipe 204, the diversion box 202, and the side wall flushing pipe 203 all enter the hopper. The bottom end of the frustum plate 5 enters the hopper, and the periphery of the frustum plate 5 contacts the hopper opening to seal the hopper. Then, the two pressing plates 308 are pressed, so that the two pressing plates 308 drive the clamping plates 306 to open to both sides through the pressing rods 307, so as to release the clamping and limiting effect of the clamping plates 306 on the connecting rope 304. Then, the two ends of the connecting rope 304 are pulled downward, so that the middle of the connecting rope 304 is tightened. The connecting rope 304 drives multiple supports 302 to swing towards one side of the hopper via the connecting block 303. The supports 302 drive the ultrasonic transducer 4 to move closer to the hopper until the silicone sleeve 401 on the surface of the ultrasonic transducer 4 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the hopper. At this time, the two pressing plates 308 are released, so that the clamping plate 306 is reset under the elastic force of the spring, and then the connecting rope 304 is clamped again.

[0035] During cleaning, cleaning water is introduced into the rinsing mechanism 2 from the top of the inlet pipe 201. After flowing into the diversion box 202, the cleaning water is divided and sprayed out through the bottom rinsing pipe 204 and multiple side wall rinsing pipes 203. The side wall rinsing pipes 203 rinse the inner circumference of the hopper from different angles, while the bottom rinsing pipes 204 directly impact the filling components from the bottom of the hopper, rinsing the filling components. Finally, the water flows out through the filling head, thus cleaning the cream filling machine. During the process, a high-frequency electrical signal is generated by an ultrasonic generator, which is then converted into mechanical vibration by the ultrasonic transducer 4. The cavitation effect is used to improve the cleaning effect on the hopper.
