[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cabinet cleaning, specifically to an automatic cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] The statements herein provide only background information related to this invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] A server rack is a cabinet that centrally stores some electrical equipment. During use, dust tends to accumulate inside the server rack over a long period of time. However, because the gaps between the server rack and the components (operating electrical appliances) inside are relatively small, it is generally necessary to frequently remove the electrical components from the server rack and clean them separately to ensure the continued use of the electrical appliances, improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the electrical appliances, and extend the service life of the electrical appliances.
[0004] However, existing cleaning devices generally require manual brushing with towels or brushes, followed by secondary cleaning using airflow, and then cleaning multiple surfaces. This process involves many steps, increasing workload and potentially causing missed areas, thus affecting the cleaning work. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a self-cleaning device for server racks.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an automatic cleaning device includes a placement box for placing the parts to be cleaned, a drive mechanism is provided on the placement box, a cleaning mechanism is connected to the drive mechanism, and the drive mechanism drives the cleaning mechanism to rotate on the placement box around the parts to be cleaned as the center.
[0007] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism includes two threaded columns connected to the drive mechanism. A guide plate is connected to the outer side of both threaded columns. The guide plate is rotatably mounted on the threaded columns and its height is determined relative to the position of the threaded columns. Both the guide plate and the threaded columns are hollow and interconnected. One of the threaded columns is connected to a negative pressure device. The cleaning mechanism also includes a cleaning plate connected to the threaded columns and located above the guide plate. The cleaning plate cleans the parts to be cleaned by sweeping.

[0009] Furthermore, a partition plate is provided in the middle of the guide plate, which divides the guide plate into two ventilation chambers. The interiors of the two threaded columns are hollow and are respectively connected to the two ventilation chambers in the guide plate, so that the two ventilation chambers are a positive pressure chamber and a negative pressure chamber. One of the threaded columns is connected to an air intake device. Multiple air guide sleeves are provided on the outside of the moving pipe, and the air guide sleeves are connected to the moving pipe. One side of the air guide sleeve is connected to a hose. The cleaning plate is hollow, and one end of the hose is connected to the cleaning plate, and the other end is connected to the positive pressure chamber. Multiple vent holes are opened on the side of the cleaning plate facing the part to be cleaned, which are connected to the interior of the cleaning plate.
[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of mounting slots are provided on one side of the cleaning plate, and a diamond-shaped block is installed in the mounting slot. A cleaning brush for contacting the part to be cleaned is integrally formed on one side of the diamond-shaped block, and the vent is located between two adjacent mounting slots.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0028] Example 1: See Figures 1 to 5 ;
[0029] This utility model discloses an automatic cleaning device, including a placement box 01 for placing parts to be cleaned. A drive mechanism is provided on the placement box 01, and a cleaning mechanism is connected to the drive mechanism. The drive mechanism drives the cleaning mechanism to rotate on the placement box 01 around the parts to be cleaned. The placement box 01 is also provided with a placement platform 03 for placing parts to be cleaned. A clamping device can be placed in the placement platform 03 to clamp the parts to be cleaned taken out of the cabinet. The drive mechanism provides power so that the cleaning mechanism rotates relative to the parts to be cleaned on the placement platform 03 to achieve comprehensive cleaning. Furthermore, through air circulation, dust on the parts to be cleaned can be blown out and dust blown out by the parts to be cleaned can be sucked up, ensuring that the parts to be cleaned are cleaned while maintaining the stability of the surrounding environment and avoiding secondary pollution of the parts to be cleaned.
[0030] In one embodiment, the cleaning mechanism includes two threaded posts 04 connected to the drive mechanism. A guide plate 09 is connected to the outer side of each threaded post 04. The guide plate 09 is rotatably mounted on the threaded posts 04, and its height relative to the position of the threaded posts 04 is determined. Both the guide plate 09 and the threaded posts 04 are hollow and interconnected. One of the threaded posts 04 is connected to a negative pressure device. The guide plate 09 connecting the two threaded posts 04 makes the two vertical threaded posts 04 more stable. Simultaneously, the hollow arrangement of the threaded posts 04 and the guide plate 09 facilitates the flow of gas.
[0031] In one embodiment, the cleaning mechanism further includes a cleaning plate 06, which is connected to the threaded post 04 and located above the guide plate 09. The cleaning plate 06 cleans the part to be cleaned by sweeping. The guide plate 09 is also provided with a collection groove 05 at the bottom of the cleaning plate 06. The guide plate 09 is connected to the collection groove 05. Existing cleaning instruments can be installed on the cleaning plate 06. With the threaded post 04 rotating in a circular shape with the part to be cleaned as the part, the cleaning of the surrounding area of the part to be cleaned can be achieved. The collection groove 05 collects the dust and impurities that are cleaned off under negative pressure to reduce the spread of dust.
[0032] In one embodiment, multiple cleaning mechanisms are provided, and these multiple cleaning mechanisms can be vertically spliced together. In the spliced state, the ends of the threaded posts 04 in the upper and lower cleaning mechanisms are connected together and communicate with each other by threaded engagement. The cleaning mechanisms achieve multi-layer stacking through the corresponding threaded posts 04 to form a cleaning assembly of a certain height, thereby adapting to the cleaning work of parts to be cleaned of different heights or different combinations, and realizing the cleaning of different parts to be cleaned at one time.
[0033] In one embodiment, two threaded sleeves 14 are screwed together on the outside of each threaded post 04. A movable tube 10 is connected between the two threaded sleeves 14. A telescopic component is provided on the movable tube 10. The telescopic end of the telescopic component is connected to the cleaning plate 06, which drives the cleaning plate 06 to move closer to and further away from the part to be cleaned. The rotating threaded post 04 can drive the threaded sleeve 14 to move up and down, thereby driving the movable tube 10 to move up and down, further realizing the up and down movement of the cleaning plate 06 to clean the part to be cleaned. At the same time, the telescopic component realizes the displacement of the cleaning plate 06 relative to the movable tube 10, which is used to clean parts of different diameters or lengths and widths.
[0034] In one embodiment, a partition plate is provided in the middle of the guide plate 09, which divides the guide plate 09 into two ventilation chambers. The interiors of the two threaded posts 04 are hollow and are respectively connected to the two ventilation chambers in the guide plate 09, so that the two ventilation chambers are a positive pressure chamber and a negative pressure chamber. One of the threaded posts 04 is connected to an air intake device. Through the style of the positive and negative pressure chambers, the collection groove 05 can simultaneously draw in air while the cleaning plate 06 is emitting air, so that the blown dust can be absorbed simultaneously, avoiding overflow to the surroundings and causing secondary pollution to the parts to be cleaned.
[0035] In one embodiment, multiple air guide sleeves 08 are provided on the outer side of the moving tube 10. The air guide sleeves 08 are interconnected with the moving tube 10. A hose 11 is connected to one side of the air guide sleeve 08. The cleaning plate 06 is hollow. One end of the hose 11 is connected to the cleaning plate 06. A hose 2 connected to the positive pressure chamber is connected to one side of the air guide sleeve 08. Multiple vent holes connected to the interior of the cleaning plate 06 are opened on the side of the cleaning plate 06 facing the part to be cleaned. The hose 2 connects the guide plate 09, the air guide sleeve 08, the hose 11 and the cleaning plate 06 to achieve gas conduction. The gas is blown out through the vent holes of the cleaning plate 06 to the part to be cleaned, that is, to clean the dust. The moving tube 10 moves under the drive of the threaded sleeve 14, thereby driving the air guide sleeve 08 and the cleaning plate 06 to move, and to clean the part to be cleaned up and down.
[0036] In one embodiment, a plurality of mounting slots are provided on one side of the cleaning plate 06. A diamond-shaped block is installed in the mounting slot. A cleaning brush 21 for contacting the part to be cleaned is integrally formed on one side of the diamond-shaped block. The vent hole is located between two adjacent mounting slots. The cleaning brush 21 can be installed in an appropriate manner by using the mounting slot and the diamond-shaped block to assist in cleaning. The vent hole ensures the flow of gas to clean dust.
[0037] In one embodiment, a flexible hose 3 connected to a guide plate 09 is connected to one side of the collection tank 05. The collection tank 05 and the guide plate 09 are connected by the flexible hose 3 to realize the flow of gas. This allows some dust to be concentrated in the collection tank 05, while some dust enters the guide plate 09 through the flexible hose 3, then enters the corresponding threaded post 04, and finally is transported to the filter box 18 for collection.
[0038] Example 2: Figures 1-6 As shown; the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 lies in the different driving mechanism;
[0039] In this embodiment, a rotating frame 02 is included that rotates relative to the placement box 01. Two mounting columns 16 are rotatably connected to the rotating frame 02. The two mounting columns 16 are hollow inside and their top ends are detachably connected to the corresponding threaded columns 04 and communicate with the inside of the threaded columns 04. The bottom of the two mounting columns 16 is respectively connected to two filter boxes 18 that are fixed relative to the rotating frame 02. A negative pressure device and an air intake device are respectively connected to one side of the two filter boxes 18. The negative pressure device and the air intake device use an existing air pump 17 to achieve forced gas flow. The rotating frame 02 rotates relative to the placement box 01, which further drives the mounting columns 16 to rotate relative to the central axis of the placement box 01, thereby driving the rotation of the threaded columns 04 installed on the mounting columns 16, realizing the cleaning of the area around the part to be cleaned.
[0040] In the second embodiment, the drive mechanism also includes a motor 20 fixedly connected to the rotating frame 02. The output end of the motor 20 is connected to a worm gear, and one side of the worm gear is meshed with a worm wheel 19 located on the outside of the mounting column 16. The motor 20 outputs power, which is then transmitted through the worm gear and worm wheel 19 to drive the corresponding threaded column 04 to rotate, thereby supplying power and causing the moving tube 10 to move up and down to clean the parts to be cleaned.
[0041] In one embodiment, the drive mechanism further includes a second motor 12 fixedly connected to the placement box 01. The output end of the second motor 12 is driven by a gearbox 13, and the output end of the gearbox 13 is driven by a gear. One side of the gear is meshed with a gear ring connected to the rotating frame 02. Under the drive of the second motor 12, the gearbox 13 transmits speed through a speed change, causing the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring to rotate, thereby causing the rotating frame 02 to rotate. The gearbox 13 is an existing speed change mechanism that changes the rotation speed.
[0042] 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.
[0043] It should be noted that if the utility model embodiment involves directional indications (such as up and down), the directional indications are only used to explain a specific posture (such as the relative positional relationship and movement of the components shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.
[0044] Furthermore, the meaning of "and / or" throughout the text includes three parallel solutions. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes solution A, solution B, or a solution that simultaneously satisfies A and B. Additionally, if the utility model embodiments involve descriptions of "first," "second," etc., these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" can explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Furthermore, "multiple" refers to two or more. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by the utility model.
