[0035] Example 1
[0036] Reference Figures 1-4 As one embodiment of this utility model, a circulating rubber stopper cleaning machine is provided, comprising:
[0037] The cleaning carrier 100 includes an outer cylinder 101 and an inner cylinder 102 fixedly installed inside the outer cylinder 101. The inner cylinder 102 is provided with a water passage hole 103. The bottom side wall of the outer cylinder 101 is provided with a drain port 104. A cap 105 is threadedly connected to the drain port 104.
[0038] An ultrasonic cleaning mechanism 200 includes an ultrasonic generator 201 installed on the side wall of the cavity between the outer cylinder 101 and the inner cylinder 102.
[0039] The water washing mechanism 300 includes a water spray assembly 301 and a vortex rinsing assembly 306.
[0040] The water spray assembly 301 includes a bracket 302, a spray head 303, and a booster pump 304. The bracket 302 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 102. Multiple spray heads 303 are provided and distributed in a circumferential array. The booster pump 304 is fixedly installed on the outside of the outer cylinder 101. The output end of the booster pump 304 is connected to a water supply pipe 305. The end of the water supply pipe 305 is connected to the spray head 303. The end of the water supply pipe 305 passes through the outer cylinder 101 and the inner cylinder 102 in sequence and then connects to the spray head 303. The spray direction of the spray head 303 is inclined towards the top of the inner cylinder 102.
[0041] In use, first open the cap 105 of the drain port 104 and inject cleaning fluid into the cavity between the inner cylinder 102 and the outer cylinder 101. After filling, tighten the cap 105. Place the rubber stopper to be cleaned into the inner cylinder 102 and start the cleaning machine. The control system starts the ultrasonic generator 201. The ultrasonic waves propagate in the cleaning fluid, using the impact force generated by the bursting of bubbles to initially remove the dirt from the surface of the rubber stopper. At the same time, the control system starts the booster pump 304. The booster pump 304 pressurizes the cleaning fluid through the water supply pipe 305 and delivers it to the spray head 303. Multiple spray heads 303 spray high-pressure water jets onto the rubber stopper from different angles, causing the rubber stopper to tumble continuously under the impact of the water flow, further improving the cleaning effect.
[0042] Example 2
[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, the vortex flushing assembly 306 includes a rotating shaft 307 and a pulsator 308. An isolation cylinder 309 is fixedly connected between the bottom end of the outer wall of the inner cylinder 102 and the bottom end of the inner wall of the outer cylinder 101. The rotating shaft 307 is installed inside the isolation cylinder 309 through a waterproof bearing. One end of the rotating shaft 307 passes through the outer cylinder 101 and extends to the outside of the outer cylinder 101, and the other end passes through the inner cylinder 102 and extends to the inside of the inner cylinder 102. The pulsator 308 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating shaft 307 and is located inside the inner cylinder 102.
[0044] An isolation net 310 with a hole diameter smaller than that of the rubber stopper is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inner cylinder 102. The isolation net 310 is located above the impeller 308 and is coaxially arranged with the inner cylinder 102.
[0045] The impeller 308 is provided with a slag discharge hole 311, and the bottom of the impeller 308 is provided with a brush plate 312. The working end of the brush plate 312 is in contact with the bottom end of the inner wall of the inner cylinder 102.
[0046] The vortex flushing assembly 306 includes a drive motor 313 fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer cylinder 101, and a transmission component is provided between the output end of the drive motor 313 and the rotating shaft 307.
[0047] The transmission component includes a drive wheel 314 and a driven wheel 315. The driven wheel 315 is fixedly installed on one end of the rotating shaft 307 located outside the outer cylinder 101. The drive wheel 314 is fixedly installed on the output end of the drive motor 313. A synchronous toothed belt 316 is connected between the drive wheel 314 and the driven wheel 315.
[0048] The drive motor 313 is started, and the drive wheel 314 at the output end of the drive motor 313 rotates, driving the driven wheel 315 to rotate via the synchronous toothed belt 316. This causes the rotating shaft 307 to rotate within the isolation cylinder 309 between the inner cylinder 102 and the outer cylinder 101, driving the impeller 308 to rotate. The rotation of the impeller 308 creates a vortex, causing the rubber stopper to rotate in the cleaning fluid. At the same time, the slag discharge hole 311 on the impeller 308 discharges impurities generated during the cleaning process, and the brush plate 312 at the bottom of the impeller 308 cleans the bottom of the inner cylinder 102. The isolation mesh 310 prevents the rubber stopper from being caught in the impeller 308, protecting the rubber stopper from damage.
[0049] Example 3
[0050] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, it also includes a support mechanism 400. The support mechanism 400 includes a support leg 401 and a base 402 fixedly installed at the bottom of the outer cylinder. The top of the base 402 is provided with a receiving groove 403. The bottom end of the support leg 401 is located in the receiving groove 403. A buffer spring 404 is fixedly connected inside the receiving groove 403. The two ends of the buffer spring 404 are respectively connected to the bottom end of the support leg 401 and the bottom end of the inner wall of the receiving groove 403.
[0051] During the operation of the cleaning machine, the vibration generated by the equipment is transmitted to the receiving groove 403 of the base 402 through the support leg 401. The buffer spring 404 plays a shock absorption and buffering role between the support leg 401 and the receiving groove 403, reducing the vibration and noise generated during the operation of the cleaning machine.
