[0028] Example 1:

[0029] like Figure 1-6 The automatic cleaning device for the drying drum includes a cleaning box 1. The top of the cleaning box 1 is connected to a top cover 2 via a hinge structure. The top cover 2 is provided with a handle 3, a spray structure, and a drying structure. The cleaning box 1 is symmetrically provided with a mounting structure that cooperates with the drying drum 15 and symmetrically arranged guide plates 21. The guide plates 21 are provided with positioning grooves 22, and the positioning grooves 22 are provided with a brushing structure that slides with them. The brushing structure is driven by a power structure provided in the cleaning box 1.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment, the drying structure includes an air jet pipe 7 disposed within the top cover 2. One end of the air jet pipe 7 is connected to the top cover 2 via a fastener 9, and the other end of the air jet pipe 7 is connected to the drying device 13 via a first spring tube 11. This allows the spray / drying pipeline to freely extend and retract when the top cover 2 is opened and closed.

[0031] In a preferred embodiment, the spray structure includes spray pipes 8 symmetrically arranged within the top cover 2. One end of each spray pipe 8 is connected to the top cover 2 via a fixing member 9, and the other end of each spray pipe 8 is provided with a water distribution pipe 10. The water distribution pipe 10 is connected to the water supply device 14 via a second spring pipe 12. This allows the spray / drying pipeline to freely extend and retract when the top cover 2 is opened and closed.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the mounting structure includes fixed shafts 18 symmetrically arranged within the cleaning tank 1, and multiple rotating sleeves 19 on the fixed shafts 18 that cooperate with the drying drum 15. This separates the load while maintaining clearance space.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the fixed shaft 18 is provided with a limiting disc 20, which cooperates with the limiting groove 17 on one side of the drying drum 15. This limiting and positioning ensures stable and smooth processing.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the brushing structure includes a positioning slide frame 27 that mates with the positioning slide groove 22. The positioning slide frame 27 has symmetrically arranged mounting positions 28, which mate with mounting heads 29 mounted on the support arm 30. The mounting heads 29 are equipped with locking elements 32. The support arm 30 has multiple sets of brush bristles 31 that mate with the drying drum 15. This detachable design makes loading and unloading the drum more convenient.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the power structure includes a threaded shaft 23 disposed within the cleaning tank 1. The threaded shaft 23 is threadedly engaged with the positioning slide frame 27. A linkage gear 24 is mounted on the threaded shaft 23, which meshes with a toothed belt 16 on one side of the drying drum 15. The threaded shaft 23 is connected to the output end of a motor 25, which is connected to the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1 via a fixed base 26. This linkage mechanism drives the reciprocating motion of the brush, resulting in a more thorough and comprehensive cleaning.

[0036] In the preferred embodiment, the symmetrically arranged guide plates 21 are all angled downwards on adjacent sides. This facilitates the drainage and collection of wastewater after cleaning.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment, the top cover 2 is provided with an observation window 4 to facilitate observation of the internal cleaning process.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a drain pipe 5, and a drain pump 6 is provided on the drain pipe 5. This facilitates the sewage discharge operation.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] like Figure 1-6 In the process, two fixed shafts 18 are symmetrically fixed inside the cleaning box 1, a rotating sleeve 19 is fitted, and a limiting plate 20 is installed at the end of the fixed shaft 18; the two ends of the drying drum 15 are fitted into the rotating sleeve 19 to ensure that the limiting groove 17 and the limiting plate 20 are engaged.

[0041] A water spray pipe 8 and an air jet pipe 7 are installed inside the top cover 2, and connected to the water supply device 14 and the drying device 13 respectively through the second spring pipe 12 and the first spring pipe 11; the water spray pipe 8 and the air jet pipe 7 are fixed inside the top cover 2 by the fastener 9;

[0042] Insert the positioning slide frame 27 into the positioning slide groove 22 of the guide plate 21, adjust the mounting head 29 of the support arm 30 to the mounting position 28, and fix the locking part 30; start the motor 25 and test whether the transmission of the threaded shaft 23 and the linkage gear 24 synchronously drives the brush structure to slide and the rotating cage 15 to rotate.

[0043] Example 3:

[0044] like Figure 1-6 In the middle, close the top cover 2, start the water supply device 14, spray water into the rotating drum 15 through the water spray pipe 8, and at the same time, the motor 25 drives the brushing structure to reciprocate, and the brush bristles 31 rub against the inner wall of the rotating drum.

[0045] After cleaning, turn off the spray and start the drying device 13. Hot air is blown into the rotating drum 15 through the jet pipe 7, which accelerates the drying process in conjunction with the rotation of the drum.

[0046] The guide plate 21 directs the wastewater to the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 for centralized discharge.

[0047] The method of using this utility model is as follows: the water spray pipe 8 sprays water to rinse the surface of the rotating cage 15, and the bristles 31 of the brushing structure slide along the positioning slide groove 22 under the drive of the power structure to mechanically brush the inner wall of the rotating cage; the rotating cage 15 achieves self-rotation by meshing with the toothed belt 16 through the linkage gear 24 to ensure that there are no dead corners in the brushing.

[0048] The jet pipe 7 sprays hot air into the rotating cage 15. The rotation of the cage makes the airflow evenly distributed and accelerates the evaporation of water. The guide plate 21 is designed to be angled downward to guide the residual water flow to be discharged in a concentrated manner to avoid water accumulation.

[0049] The elastic connection between the second spring tube 12 and the first spring tube 11 allows the spray / drying pipeline to freely expand and contract when the top cover 2 is opened and closed; the limiting plate 20 cooperates with the limiting groove 17 to ensure that the rotating cage 15 maintains axial stability when rotating at high speed.

[0050] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: integrated cleaning and drying greatly shortens the operation time and significantly improves work efficiency; adaptive brushing, through the reciprocating rotation of the motor to control the brushing position, combined with gear rotation drive, to achieve all-round brushing and cleaning; the overall structure of the device is simple and highly separable, easy to maintain and use, convenient to operate, highly automated, and highly practical.
