Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning machine equipment technology, and in particular to a cleaning machine with an adjustable nozzle. Background Technology

[0002] As automated or semi-automated devices that efficiently remove dirt and impurities from object surfaces, cleaning machines have been deeply integrated into many key fields such as industrial manufacturing, medical sterilization, household cleaning, and food processing due to their high efficiency and convenience. In industrial production, cleaning machines can quickly clean oil stains and metal shavings from the surfaces of precision parts, ensuring product quality. In the medical industry, they can effectively remove biological stains and germs from medical devices, ensuring safe use. They not only significantly improve cleaning efficiency and reduce labor costs, but also ensure consistent and reliable cleaning results, making them an indispensable cleaning tool in modern production and daily life.

[0003] However, with the increasing diversity and complexity of application scenarios, existing cleaning machine technologies have revealed many problems that urgently need to be solved. In practical applications, traditional cleaning machine nozzles are mostly fixedly installed. When faced with objects of different heights and sizes, it is difficult to achieve flexible and convenient height adjustment, thus limiting the cleaning range and making it impossible to thoroughly clean all parts of complex structures, greatly restricting the applicability of the cleaning machine. For example, in the cleaning of automotive parts, fixed nozzles cannot effectively clean both the top and bottom of engine blocks of different sizes due to their varying heights. In addition, existing cleaning machines suffer from efficiency bottlenecks in the mixing stage of the cleaning solution, failing to quickly and evenly mix different components of the cleaning solution, affecting the cleaning effect and efficiency, and failing to meet the demand for fast and efficient cleaning. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a cleaning machine with adjustable nozzles to solve the above technical problems and improve the overall performance and application value of the cleaning machine.

[0026] It should be noted that, with the help of those skilled in the art, all electrical components in this case, such as the stirring motor 5, the cleaning pump 2, the forward and reverse geared motor 62, the servo motor 75, etc., should be connected to their compatible power supplies via wires. Furthermore, a suitable controller, such as a PLC controller or a microcontroller, should be selected according to the actual situation to meet the control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the working principle described below, which outlines the sequential operation of each electrical component to complete the electrical connection. The detailed connection methods are well-known technologies in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and will not further explain the electrical control.

[0027] Working principle: When in use, first add the cleaning solution into the storage tank 1, then start the stirring motor 5, which will drive the rotating rod 10 and the stirring rod 11 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating rod 10 to rotate in the storage tank 1, thus stirring the cleaning solution.

[0028] Furthermore, when the switch valve 9 on the outside of the three-way pipe 3 connected to the return pipe 4 is opened, the cleaning liquid at the bottom of the storage tank 1 is drawn into the return pipe 4 above, which, together with the stirring operation, facilitates the mixing of the cleaning mixture.

[0029] Furthermore, at this time, open the switch valve 9 on the outside of the three-way pipe 3 connected to the spray pipe 73, close the switch valve 9 on the outside of the three-way pipe 3 connected to the return pipe 4, and the cleaning fluid enters the spray pipe 73 and is sprayed out through the spray nozzle for cleaning.

[0030] Furthermore, the start of the forward and reverse reduction motor 62 is controlled. The output end of the forward and reverse reduction motor 62 drives the drive gear disk 63 to rotate, thereby driving the passive gear disk 64 to rotate. The top surface of the passive gear disk 64 is fixedly connected to the extension rod 65, which drives the guide rail box 71 to rotate. At this time, the sliding block 76 and the roller body 77 slide in the groove on the surface of the base plate 78, improving the stability of the guide rail box 71 and changing the angle between the spray pipe 73 and the spray nozzle.

[0031] Furthermore, the start of the control servo motor 75 drives the lead screw 74 inside the guide rail box 71 to rotate. The sleeve block 79, which is fixedly connected to one side surface of the motion frame 72, is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lead screw 74. As the lead screw 74 rotates, the sleeve block 79 drives the motion frame 72 to move up and down along the sliding connection on one side surface of the guide rail box 71, so that the spray pipe 73 and the spray nozzle assembly can move up and down for adjustment.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention 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 essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0033] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
