Therefore, the directional and positional terms used are for the purpose of explaining and understanding this utility model, and not for limiting the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown in the figure, a remotely operable filter washing and drying machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a vessel body 1 and a sight glass 2 fixed on the vessel body 1.

[0036] It also includes a camera element 4 fixed outside the vessel body 1, the imaging end face of the camera element 4 facing the viewing mirror 2 and imaging the interior of the vessel body 1 through the viewing mirror 2.

[0037] It also includes an information receiving module 8, a PLC control module 9, and a drive module 10.

[0038] The information receiving module is electrically connected to the camera element 4 and receives the images captured by the camera element 4. The PLC control module is electrically connected to the information receiving module and the drive module. The PLC control module receives the instructions sent by the information receiving module and controls the drive module to execute them.

[0039] With this setup, staff can use cameras in the workroom to photograph the material inside the vessel, allowing for remote observation of the vessel's contents without requiring on-site personnel. Instructions can then be sent to the PLC control module based on the vessel's internal condition, which in turn controls the drive module, ensuring high safety.

[0040] Specifically, the camera element is an explosion-proof camera, the information receiving module is an industrial computer, the PLC control module is generally located in the electrical control cabinet of the filter washing and drying machine, and the drive module is a hydraulic station that executes action commands by controlling the hydraulic cylinders set on the vessel body. Specifically, it includes hydraulic cylinders that are vertically set between the chassis and the vessel body support for raising and lowering the chassis.

[0041] The vessel body 1 is provided with a first mounting ring seat 11, and a second mounting ring seat 6 is detachably fixed to the first mounting ring seat 11. The sight glass 2 is clamped between the second mounting ring seat 6 and the first mounting ring seat 11.

[0042] This design improves the ease of installing and removing the viewing mirror, allowing for quick replacement if the mirror is damaged or severely worn, thus not affecting the captured image. Specifically, the first and second mounting rings are detachably connected via threaded connections.

[0043] The first mounting ring seat 11 has a first mounting groove 12 on its inner circumference that matches the shape of the lower outer circumference of the sight mirror 2, and the second mounting ring seat 6 has a second mounting groove 61 on its lower inner circumference that matches the shape of the upper outer circumference of the sight mirror 2. The sight mirror 2 is located between the first mounting groove 12 and the second mounting groove 61.

[0044] This design allows the first and second mounting grooves to provide axial and radial positioning and limiting for the sight glass, improving installation convenience while stabilizing the sight glass's position.

[0045] The second mounting ring seat 6 has a third mounting ring seat 7 fixed on its inner circumference. The lower end of the camera element 4 has a limiting protrusion ring 41 fixed on its circumference. The limiting protrusion ring 41 is detachably and fixedly connected to the third mounting ring seat 7 through a first threaded part 43.

[0046] This setting improves the ease of assembling and disassembling camera components.

[0047] The outer periphery of the camera element 4 includes a first cylindrical surface 401 and a second cylindrical surface 402 connected from top to bottom. The limiting protrusion 41 is connected at a position in the middle of the second cylindrical surface 402. The diameter of the first cylindrical surface 401 is larger than that of the second cylindrical surface 402, and a first limiting step 403 is formed between the first cylindrical surface 401 and the second cylindrical surface 402.

[0048] A locking insert 42 is provided between the upper end face of the limiting protrusion 41 and the first limiting step 403. The locking insert 42 is semi-circular and has a semi-circular surface 421 that matches the shape of the second cylindrical surface 402. An insertion port 422 is formed between the two ends of the locking insert 42.

[0049] The locking plug 42 is inserted from one end of the insertion port 422 between the upper surface of the limiting protrusion 41 and the first limiting step 403, forming an abutment fit between them, and the semi-annular surface 421 fits against the second cylindrical surface 402.

[0050] The first threaded component 43 passes through the locking insert 42 and the limiting protrusion 41 in sequence and then connects to the third mounting ring seat 7.

[0051] This design improves the stability of the camera element connected to the third mounting ring, making it less likely for the camera element to fall off due to vibrations during vessel operation.

[0052] The upper inner circumference of the third mounting ring seat 7 is provided with a third mounting groove 71 that matches the shape of the limiting protrusion 41, and the limiting protrusion 41 is connected to the third mounting groove 71.

[0053] This design allows the third mounting groove to radially limit the positioning protrusion, further improving the stability of the camera element connected to the third mounting ring.

[0054] It also includes a swinging component 3 and a rotary drive assembly electrically connected to the PLC control module 9. The swinging component 3 is located inside the vessel body 1, parallel to and attached to the lower end face of the sight glass 2. One end of the swinging component 3 is a fixed end. The rotary drive assembly drives the swinging component 3 to swing back and forth around its fixed end to form a fan-shaped motion trajectory. The swinging component 3 is always attached to the lower end face of the sight glass 2 during the swinging process.

[0055] With this setup, the camera element captures images of the material inside the vessel. When moisture or material is found adhering to the sight glass, the PLC control module can drive the rotary drive component to operate, causing the oscillating component to swing back and forth, clearing the moisture or material adhering to the lower end of the sight glass, thus forming a fan-shaped clean area for observation. After cleaning is complete, the PLC control module can stop driving the rotary drive component, thereby reducing energy waste.

[0056] The rotary drive assembly includes telescopic cylinders 51, a first connecting rod 52, a linkage 53, a second connecting rod 54, and a rotating column 55 perpendicular to the lower end face of the sight mirror 2, all of which are arranged parallel to the lower end face of the sight mirror 2.

[0057] One end of the linkage 53 is provided with a first strip-shaped hole 531 extending towards the center.

[0058] One end of the first connecting rod 52 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the telescopic cylinder 51, and the other end is provided with a vertically extending limiting post 521 that is adapted to the shape of the first strip hole 531. The limiting post 521 is inserted into the first strip hole 531 to form a linkage with the linkage member 53.

[0059] The sight glass 2 has a first limiting through hole 21 vertically penetrating it at the fixed end of the swing member 3. The rotating column 55 is horizontally and vertically limited within the first limiting through hole 21 at a position in the vertical direction and forms a rotational engagement with it.

[0060] One vertical end of the rotating column 55 is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the swing member 3, and the other end is fixedly connected to one end of the second connecting rod 54. The other end of the second connecting rod 54 is fixedly connected to the end of the linkage member 53 away from the first connecting rod 52.

[0061] The reciprocating telescopic drive of the swing member 3 via the telescopic cylinder 51 drives the swing member 3 to swing back and forth around its fixed end.

[0062] With this configuration, the linkage, the second connecting rod, the rotating column, and the swinging component form a fixed fit, that is, the four components form a linkage that can only rotate relative to the first through hole. The extension and retraction of the telescopic cylinder drive end drives the extension and retraction of the first connecting rod. Through the fit between the limiting insert and the first strip hole, the linkage of the four components—the linkage, the second connecting rod, the rotating column, and the swinging component—rotates forward / reverse relative to the first through hole, resulting in a stable and reliable structure.

[0063] Those skilled in the art will understand that all or part of the steps in the methods of the above embodiments can be implemented by a program instructing related hardware. The program can be stored in a computer-readable storage medium, such as ROM / RAM, disk, optical disk, etc.

[0064] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
