Two horizontal tubes are fixedly connected to the inside of both the bottom frame and the top frame. Multiple nozzles are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the horizontal tubes to facilitate brushing and drying of the plastic parts of the car interior.

[0008] Preferably, a water pump and a hot air blower are fixedly installed sequentially on one side of the outer surface of the bottom frame. The output end of the water pump is fixedly connected to two first branch hoses, one end of each of the two first branch hoses being fixedly connected to the center position of the outer surface of the corresponding horizontal pipe. The air outlet end of the hot air blower is fixedly connected to two second branch hoses, one end of each of the two second branch hoses being fixedly connected to the center position of the outer surface of the corresponding horizontal pipe, so as to facilitate the delivery of cleaning fluid and hot air into the corresponding horizontal pipes respectively.

[0009] Preferably, a bidirectional lead screw is rotatably connected through the interior of the horizontal tube, and two partitions are symmetrically threaded on the outer surface of the bidirectional lead screw. Motors are fixedly installed on the outside of the bottom frame and the top frame at positions corresponding to the bidirectional lead screw. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the corresponding bidirectional lead screw, which facilitates driving the partitions to move relative to each other, thereby changing the area of ​​water spraying and air outlet.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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. Example

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an automotive interior plastic parts surface cleaning device includes a base frame 1, a lifting mechanism 2 installed on one side of the outer surface of the base frame 1, a top frame 3 fixedly connected to one end of the lifting mechanism 2, and multiple rubber conveying rollers 4 rotatably connected inside the base frame 1 and the top frame 3. A cleaning mechanism 5 for cleaning the surface of automotive interior plastic parts is installed between the rubber conveying rollers 4.

[0021] The lifting mechanism 2 includes a mounting bracket 21 fixedly connected to one side of the outer surface of the base frame 1. A cylinder 22 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting bracket 21, and the bottom end of the cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the top end of the top frame 3. The operation of the cylinder 22 can drive the top frame 3 to lift and lower, which facilitates the conveying and surface cleaning of automotive interior plastic parts of different thicknesses.

[0022] The cleaning mechanism 5 includes a cleaning brush roller 51 that is rotatably connected inside the bottom frame 1 and the top frame 3. Two horizontal pipes 52 are sequentially fixedly connected inside both the bottom frame 1 and the top frame 3. Multiple nozzles 53 are sequentially fixedly connected to the outer surface of each horizontal pipe 52. A water pump 54 and a hot air blower 55 are sequentially fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the bottom frame 1. Two first branch hoses 56 are fixedly connected to the output end of the water pump 54. One end of each of the two first branch hoses 56 is fixedly connected to the center position of the outer surface of the corresponding horizontal pipe 52. Two second branch hoses 57 are fixedly connected to the air outlet end of the hot air blower 55. One end of each of the two second branch hoses 57 is fixedly connected to the center position of the outer surface of the corresponding horizontal pipe 52. In this technical solution, both the rubber conveying roller 4 and the cleaning brush roller 51 are electrically driven, specifically, they can be driven by servo motors. During use, the rubber conveying roller 4 can transport the plastic parts of the car interior, and the rotation of the two cleaning brush rollers 51 can respectively wash the stubborn stains on the upper and lower surfaces of the plastic parts of the car interior. The operation of the water pump 54 and the hot air blower 55 can respectively deliver the cleaning liquid and hot air to the corresponding horizontal pipes 52, and then spray them out through the nozzles 53, which can sequentially rinse and dry the upper and lower surfaces of the plastic parts of the car interior, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0023] A bidirectional lead screw 58 is rotatably connected through the interior of the horizontal tube 52. Two partitions 59 are symmetrically threaded onto the outer surface of the bidirectional lead screw 58. Motors are fixedly installed on the outside of the bottom frame 1 and the top frame 3 at positions corresponding to the bidirectional lead screw 58. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to one end of the corresponding bidirectional lead screw 58. Before use, the rotation of the motor drives the bidirectional lead screw 58 to rotate, which in turn moves the two partitions 59 relative to each other via the threads. This changes the number of nozzles 53 connected, thereby altering the water and air outlet areas and achieving energy-saving effects.

[0024] Support legs are fixedly installed on all four sides of the lower surface of the base frame 1, and a drain valve is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the base frame 1 to facilitate the discharge of sewage.

[0025] Working principle: The operation of cylinder 22 can drive the top frame 3 to rise and fall, which facilitates the conveying and surface cleaning of automotive interior plastic parts of different thicknesses. Both the rubber conveying roller 4 and the cleaning brush roller 51 are electrically driven, specifically driven by servo motors. During use, the rubber conveying roller 4 can convey the automotive interior plastic parts, and the rotation of the two cleaning brush rollers 51 can respectively wash the stubborn stains on the upper and lower surfaces of the automotive interior plastic parts. The operation of water pump 54 and hot air blower 55 can respectively deliver cleaning fluid and hot air to the corresponding horizontal pipes 52, and then spray them out through nozzles 53, which can sequentially rinse and dry the upper and lower surfaces of the automotive interior plastic parts, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0026] Before use, the rotation of the motor can drive the bidirectional lead screw 58 to rotate, and the screw can drive the two partitions 59 to move relative to each other, which can change the number of nozzles 53 connected, thereby changing the area of ​​water and air outlet, thus achieving the effect of energy saving.

[0027] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this utility model is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of this utility model.
