[0035] Currently, when cleaning the forming cups, operators need to remove them from the main unit of the bursting bead forming machine, place them in a container filled with cleaning fluid to clean the inside, and then reinstall them. Since the forming cups need to be placed horizontally, they also need to be leveled during installation. The entire process is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient.
[0036] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cleaning device that can clean the inside of the molded cup without removing it from the main unit of the equipment, saving manpower and improving efficiency.
[0037] To make the technical solution and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below.
[0038] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a cleaning device, including a frame 1, a water tank 2, an inlet water delivery pipe 3, a water pump 4, an outlet water delivery pipe 5, and a filter mechanism 6. The water tank 2 is mounted on the frame 1, and an outlet 21 is provided at the lower part of the water tank 2. The water tank 2 is used to store cleaning liquid. Exemplarily, the cleaning liquid can be water or other liquids with cleaning properties. The inlet end of the inlet water delivery pipe 3 is connected to the outlet 21, and the outlet end of the inlet water delivery pipe 3 is detachably connected to the inlet on a forming cup (not shown in the figure). Exemplarily, the outer surface of the outlet end of the inlet water delivery pipe 3 is threaded, and the inner wall of the inlet of the forming cup is also threaded, allowing the outlet end of the inlet water delivery pipe 3 to be inserted into the inlet of the forming cup and threadedly connected to the inlet of the forming cup. The water pump 4 is mounted on the inlet water delivery pipe 3 and is used to pump the cleaning liquid in the water tank 2 through the inlet water delivery pipe 3 into the cavity on the forming cup. The inlet end of the water delivery pipe 5 is detachably connected to the outlet on the forming cup. For example, the outer surface of the inlet end of the water delivery pipe 5 is threaded, and the inner wall of the outlet of the forming cup is also threaded. The inlet end of the water delivery pipe 5 can be inserted into the outlet of the forming cup and threadedly connected to the outlet of the forming cup. A filtration mechanism 6 is located between the outlet end of the water delivery pipe 5 and the water storage tank 2. The cleaning liquid discharged from the water delivery pipe 5 can be filtered by the filtration mechanism 6 and then returned to the water storage tank 2.
[0039] When cleaning the inside of the molding cup is required, the outlet of the inlet water delivery pipe 3 is connected to the inlet on the molding cup, and the inlet of the outlet water delivery pipe 5 is connected to the outlet on the molding cup. Then, the water pump 4 is started, pumping the cleaning solution in the water storage tank 2 through the inlet water delivery pipe 3 into the cavity of the molding cup to clean its interior. Wastewater from cleaning the molding cup is discharged through the outlet of the molding cup and the outlet water delivery pipe 5 to the filtration mechanism 6. After filtration by the filtration mechanism 6, it flows back into the water storage tank 2. This application allows for cleaning the inside of the molding cup without removing it from the main unit of the equipment, saving manpower and improving efficiency. Furthermore, by setting up the filtration mechanism 6, the used cleaning solution can be filtered, allowing it to be recycled, saving resources and reducing costs.
[0040] Optionally, refer to Figures 2 to 4 The filtration mechanism 6 includes a wastewater tank 7, a filter box 8, and a secondary filter screen 9. The wastewater tank 7 is positioned horizontally (e.g., ...). Figure 2(As shown in the X direction) Located on one side of the water storage tank 2, the wastewater tank 7 and the water storage tank 2 both have notches 10 on their side walls, and the wastewater tank 7 and the water storage tank 2 are connected through the notches 10. The bottom of the wastewater tank 7 is higher than the bottom of the water storage tank 2. The filter box 8 is located inside the wastewater tank 7 and is formed by multiple primary filter screens. There is a gap between the primary filter screens and the inner wall of the wastewater tank 7. The filter box 8 has an opening at the top, and the outlet end of the water delivery pipe 5 is located above the opening. The secondary filter screen 9 covers the notch 10, and the diameter of the mesh of the secondary filter screen 9 is smaller than the diameter of the mesh of the primary filter screen.
[0041] Specifically, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The secondary filter 9 is located on the side wall of the wastewater tank 7, near the bottom of the wastewater tank 7. The secondary filter 9 can perform secondary filtration on the cleaning liquid after it has been filtered by the primary filter, and the cleaning liquid filtered by the secondary filter 9 can flow back into the water storage tank 2.
[0042] When cleaning the inside of the molding cup, the cleaning fluid entering the molding cup through the inlet rinses the cavity inside the molding cup and then exits through the outlet. This contaminated cleaning fluid then enters the filter tank 8, is filtered by the primary filter, and is discharged into the wastewater tank 7. Because the bottom of the wastewater tank 7 is higher than the bottom of the water storage tank 2, the cleaning fluid in the wastewater tank 7 can flow into the water storage tank 2 through the notch 10 and the secondary filter 9. The secondary filter 9, with its smaller mesh size, can further filter the cleaning fluid. This application, by setting up the filtration mechanism 6, can filter the used cleaning fluid, allowing it to be recycled and reused, saving resources and reducing costs.
[0043] Optionally, both the primary filter and the secondary filter 9 can be made of stainless steel. Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance, which can improve the service life of the primary filter and the secondary filter 9.
[0044] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 The water inlet pipe 3 includes a rigid pipe 31 and a flexible pipe 32. The inlet end of the rigid pipe 31 is connected to the outlet 21, and the outlet end of the rigid pipe 31 is connected to the inlet end of the flexible pipe 32. A water pump 4 is mounted on the rigid pipe 31. The cleaning device provided in this embodiment also includes a winch 11, which is mounted on the frame 1 and can rotate around its own axis. The flexible pipe 32 can be wound around the winch 11. By providing the winch 11, this application allows the flexible pipe 32 to be wound up and down as needed. When the cleaning device is not in operation, the flexible pipe 32 can be wound around the winch 11 to save space.
[0045] Optionally, refer to Figure 1The bottom of the water storage tank 2 is also provided with a drain port 22, and a valve 12 is provided at the drain port 22. The valve 12 is used to control the opening and closing of the drain port 22. When the liquid in the water storage tank 2 no longer has the ability to clean, the valve 12 can be opened to drain the sewage in the water storage tank 2.
[0046] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 The frame 1 is equipped with a cover 13, which covers the wastewater tank 7 and the water storage tank 2. A handle 14 is provided on the upper surface of the cover 13. By providing the cover 13, this application aims to prevent external dust from entering the wastewater tank 7 and the water storage tank 2, thus avoiding contamination of the cleaning solution. Furthermore, when it is necessary to add cleaning solution to the water storage tank 2, the operator can use the handle 14 to remove the cover 13 to add the cleaning solution.
[0047] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cover 13 has a return water inlet 15, which is located above the wastewater tank 7 and is connected to the outlet end of the water delivery pipe 5. Wastewater from cleaning the molded cups can be discharged into the wastewater tank 7 through the return water inlet 15, allowing the primary and secondary filters 9 to filter the wastewater and recycle the cleaning solution, thereby saving resources and reducing costs.
[0048] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 The bottom of the frame 1 is also equipped with multiple casters 16, each caster 16 having a brake 17. Further, refer to... Figure 1 A handle 18 is provided on one side of the frame 1. This application facilitates the movement of the frame 1 by providing casters 16 and the handle 18. When cleaning the molded cup is required, the operator can hold the handle 18 and use the casters 16 to move the frame 1 to the molded cup. After the frame 1 is in place, the casters 16 are locked by the brake 17 to prevent the frame 1 from moving during cleaning. After cleaning is completed, the frame 1 is moved away to avoid obstructing production.
