[0051] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 9 The hose cleaning machine provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described.

[0052] A hose cleaning machine for cleaning fire hoses 60 includes a housing 10, a feeding tray 20, a receiving tray 30, a cleaning mechanism 40, and a drive mechanism 50.

[0053] Specifically, the bottom of the chassis 10 is provided with casters 12, and one side wall of the chassis 10 is provided with a door 13 that can be opened and closed. The side wall of the chassis 10 with the door 13 is provided with a display screen 14, and a cleaning box 11 is provided inside the chassis 10.

[0054] The discharge tray 20 is rotatably connected to the cleaning tank 11 via a first rotating shaft 3121, and the receiving tray 30 is rotatably connected to the cleaning tank 11 via a second rotating shaft. The first rotating shaft 3121 and the second rotating shaft are parallel and spaced apart, thus the receiving tray 30 and the discharge tray 20 are spaced apart, with the discharge tray 20 located below the receiving tray 30. One end of the fire hose 60 is connected to the discharge tray 20, and the other end of the fire hose 60 is connected to the receiving tray 30.

[0055] The cleaning mechanism 40 is connected inside the cleaning tank 11 and is electrically connected to the control module inside the display screen 14. The cleaning mechanism 40 includes a nozzle 41, which is located between the discharge tray 20 and the collection tray 30, and is used to spray cleaning fluid onto the part of the fire hose 60 located between the discharge tray 20 and the collection tray 30.

[0056] The drive mechanism 50 is connected inside the chassis 10 and is electrically connected to the control module inside the display screen 14. The drive mechanism 50 is connected to the feeding tray 20 and the receiving tray 30 through the transmission assembly to drive the feeding tray 20 and the receiving tray 30 to rotate.

[0057] When the operator installs the fire hose 60 on the discharge tray 20 and the collection tray 30, the hose cleaning machine can clean the fire hose 60 through the operation options on the display screen 14.

[0058] Compared with the prior art, the hose cleaning machine provided in this application includes a housing 10, a feeding tray 20, a receiving tray 30, a cleaning mechanism 40, and a drive mechanism 50. The feeding tray 20 and the receiving tray 30 are rotatably connected to the cleaning tank 11. One end of the fire hose 60 is connected to the feeding tray 20, and the other end is connected to the receiving tray 30. When the drive mechanism 50 drives the feeding tray 20 and the receiving tray 30 to rotate, the nozzle 41 on the cleaning mechanism 40 is used to spray cleaning liquid on the part of the fire hose 60 located between the feeding tray 20 and the receiving tray 30 to clean the fire hose 60, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the fire hose 60.

[0059] In this application, the feeding tray 20 is provided with a first hose connector 22, and the receiving tray 30 is provided with a second hose connector 32. The first hose connector 22 and the second hose connector 32 are connectors that can be detachably connected to the connectors provided at both ends of the fire hose 60. The connector at one end of the fire hose 60 is connected to the first hose connector 22, and the connector at the other end of the fire hose 60 is connected to the second hose connector 32.

[0060] In this application, the nozzles are symmetrically arranged about the discharge tray 20 or the collection tray 30 to clean the outer wall of the fire hose 60 from two directions.

[0061] In one embodiment of this application, the feeding tray 20 and the receiving tray 30 rotate in the same direction.

[0062] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, when the feeding tray 20 and the receiving tray 30 rotate in the same direction, the drive mechanism 50 includes a drive motor 51, which is electrically connected to the control module. The drive motor 51 is connected to the frame 52, which is connected inside the housing 10. The drive motor 51 is connected to the first rotating shaft 3121 via a reducer, thereby driving the feeding tray 20 to rotate. The transmission assembly includes a drive pulley 53, a driven pulley 54, and a drive belt 55. The drive pulley 53 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 3121, thereby connecting to the feeding tray 20. The driven pulley 54 is connected to the second rotating shaft, thereby connecting to the receiving tray 30. The drive belt 55 is sleeved on the drive pulley 53 and the drive belt 55.

[0063] When the drive motor 51 rotates, the first rotating shaft 3121 drives the feeding disc 20 and the drive pulley 53 to rotate. The drive pulley 53 drives the driven pulley 54 to rotate through the drive belt 55. The driven pulley 54 drives the receiving disc 30 to rotate through the second rotating shaft, thereby realizing that when the feeding disc 20 feeds the fire hose 60, the receiving disc 30 simultaneously winds up the fire hose 60.

[0064] In one embodiment of this application, the hose cleaning machine further includes a guide roller 70.

[0065] like Figure 4 The guide roller 70 is rotatably connected inside the housing 10 and is located between the feeding tray 20 and the receiving tray 30. After the fire hose 60 is led out from the feeding tray 20, it passes around part of the outer wall of the guide roller 70 and enters the receiving tray 30, thereby guiding the fire hose 60 to the middle part of the cleaning tank 11. This ensures that the distance between the nozzles on both sides of the fire hose 60 and the fire hose 60 is equal, thus ensuring the uniformity of the cleaning of the fire hose 60 by the nozzles on both sides of the fire hose 60.

[0066] In another embodiment of this application, the feeding tray 20 and the receiving tray 30 rotate in opposite directions.

[0067] like Figures 6 to 8 Specifically, when the feeding tray 20 and the receiving tray 30 rotate in opposite directions, the drive mechanism 50 includes a drive motor 51, which is connected to a motor bracket, which is connected to the housing 10. The drive motor 51 is connected to the first rotating shaft 3121 through a reducer, thereby driving the feeding tray 20 to rotate.

[0068] The transmission assembly includes a drive pulley 53, a driven pulley 54, a drive belt 55, a drive gear 56, and a driven gear 57. The drive pulley 53 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 3121, thereby connecting to the feeding disc 20. The driven pulley 54 is rotatably connected inside the housing 10 via an intermediate shaft 58.

[0069] The driving gear 56 is connected to the intermediate shaft 58 to connect with the driven pulley 54. The driven gear 57 is connected to the receiving disc 30, and the driving gear 56 meshes with the driven gear 57. The drive belt 55 is sleeved on the driving pulley 53 and the drive belt 54.

[0070] When the drive motor 51 rotates, the first rotating shaft 3121 drives the feeding disc 20 and the drive pulley 53 to rotate. The drive pulley 53 drives the driven pulley 54 to rotate through the drive belt 55. The driven pulley 54 drives the drive gear 56 to rotate through the intermediate shaft 58. The drive gear 56 drives the second rotating shaft to rotate through the driven gear 57. The second rotating shaft drives the receiving disc 30 to rotate, thereby realizing that when the feeding disc 20 feeds the fire hose 60, the receiving disc 30 simultaneously winds up the fire hose 60.

[0071] In this application, the cleaning mechanism 40 includes a water storage tank 42, a first water pump 43, a delivery pipe 44, a second water pump 45, and a chemical solution tank 46.

[0072] like Figure 3 and Figure 7Specifically, the water storage tank 42 is located at the bottom of the cleaning tank 11. The upper end of the water storage tank 42 is open, and the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 11 is inclined to the horizontal direction. The lower end of the bottom wall of the cleaning tank 11 is connected to the open end of the water storage tank 42 so as to guide the cleaning fluid dripping from the fire water pipe into the water storage tank 42.

[0073] The first water pump 43 is electrically connected to the control module inside the display screen 14, and is also connected inside the housing 10 and connected to the water storage tank 42. The delivery pipe 44 is connected to the first water pump 43, and the nozzle is connected to the delivery pipe 44. When the first water pump 43 starts, it delivers the cleaning fluid in the water storage tank 42 to the contact port via the delivery pipe 44 to clean the fire hose 60.

[0074] The second water pump 45 is connected to the water storage tank 42, and the cleaning solution tank 46 is connected to the second water pump 45. The cleaning solution tank 46 is used to store the cleaning agent. When the second water pump 45 is started, it delivers the cleaning agent to the water in the water storage tank 42 to mix and form a cleaning solution.

[0075] In this application, a drain pipe 48 is connected to the conveying pipe 44, and a water spray valve 47 is provided on the conveying pipe 44. A drain valve 481 is provided on the drain pipe 48. Both the water spray valve 47 and the drain valve 481 are solenoid valves and are electrically connected to the control module.

[0076] When it is necessary to clean the fire pipeline, the drain valve 481 is closed, the first water pump 43 and the spray valve 47 are opened, and the cleaning fluid enters the nozzle 41 through the delivery pipe 44. When it is necessary to drain the cleaning fluid in the water storage tank 42, the first water pump 43 and the drain valve 481 are opened, and the spray valve 47 is closed to drain the cleaning fluid from the water storage tank 42.

[0077] The water storage tank 42 is equipped with an inlet pipe 49, and an inlet valve 491 is provided on the inlet pipe 49. The inlet valve 491 is a solenoid valve and is electrically connected to the control module. When it is necessary to add water to the water storage tank 42, the control module controls the inlet valve 491 to open. After the water storage tank 42 is replenished, the control module controls the inlet valve 491 to close.

[0078] In this application, there are multiple feeding trays 20 and multiple receiving trays 30, which are evenly spaced and correspond one-to-one with each feeding tray 20. Multiple nozzles are symmetrically arranged about the feeding trays 20 or receiving trays 30 to form a nozzle group, and each nozzle group corresponds one-to-one with each feeding tray 20 or receiving tray 30.

[0079] In this application, the water hose cleaning machine also includes a drying mechanism 80, which includes a heater 81, a conveying air duct 82, and a fan 83.

[0080] like Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 The heater 81 is an electric heater, connected inside the housing 10 and electrically connected to the control module. The conveying air duct 82 is located inside the housing 10 and has an air outlet 84, the position of which corresponds to the position of the receiving tray 30. The fan 83 is connected inside the housing 10 and electrically connected to the control module, used to convey the heat generated by the heater 81 to the conveying air duct 82.

[0081] After the fire hose 60 is cleaned, the control module controls the heater 81 and the fan 83 to turn on, so as to transfer the heat generated by the heater 81 to the air outlet 84 and dry the fire hose 60.

[0082] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
