[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model is a modular CIP cleaning mechanism, comprising:

[0030] The cleaning assembly includes a tank 11 and a sprayer 13; the sprayer 13 is located at the center of the upper inner side of the tank 11.

[0031] The cleaning assembly also includes an inlet pipe 12, a delivery pipe 14, a circulation pump 15, and a transmission pipe 16; the inlet pipe 12 passes through and is fixed inside the top of the tank 11, the delivery pipe 14 is fixed to the bottom of the tank 11, the circulation pump 15 is fixed to the outlet of the delivery pipe 14, and the transmission pipe 16 is fixed to the outlet of the circulation pump 15.

[0032] Tank 11 is used to hold cleaning water, water inlet pipe 12 is used for external water to enter sprayer 13, sprayer 13 is used to spray water outward, delivery pipe 14 is used to transport the cleaned water outward, circulation pump 15 is used to transport the cleaned water to transmission pipe 16, and transmission pipe 16 transports the cleaned water to other pipe networks.

[0033] The moving assembly includes a motor 22, a rotating shaft 23, a gear 24, a lead screw 25, a connecting nut 26, and a hose 27. The motor 22 is located on one side of the top of the tank 11. The rotating shaft 23 passes through and is rotatably connected to the inside of the top of the tank 11, and is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 22. The gear 24 is fixed to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 23. The top end of the lead screw 25 is fixed to the center of the bottom end of the gear 24, and the bottom end is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner side of the tank 11. The connecting nut 26 is threaded onto the surface of the lead screw 25. The hose 27 is fixed to the top of the sprayer 13.

[0034] Motor 22 drives shaft 23 to rotate. Shaft 23 connects motor 22 to gear 24. Gear 24 connects shaft 23 to lead screw 25 and drives lead screw 25 to rotate. Lead screw 25 connects to and moves nut 26. Nut 26 connects to rod 29. Hose 27 facilitates the movement of sprayer 13. Motor 22 drives shaft 23 to rotate via its output.

[0035] This causes the rotating shaft 23 to drive the gear 24 to rotate synchronously, which in turn causes the gear 24 to drive the lead screw 25 to rotate.

[0036] This causes the connecting nut 26 to move on the surface of the lead screw 25.

[0037] A fixing plate 21 is fixedly connected between the bottom end of the motor 22 and the tank body 11, and the rotating shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 21.

[0038] The top end of the hose 27 is fixedly connected to the water outlet end below the inner end of the water inlet pipe 12, and the top end of the sprayer 13 is...

[0039] The side is fixedly connected with a fixing block 28;

[0040] Both the fixing block 28 and the connecting nut 26 have mating grooves 291 at their opposite ends, and the inner side of the mating groove 291...

[0041] The threaded connection between them is made of a mating rod 29;

[0042] The fixing plate 21 is used for the connection between the motor 22 and the top of the tank 11 and to secure the connection of the motor 22.

[0043] Water is delivered to the hose 27 through the inlet pipe 12. The hose 27 then delivers the water to the sprayer 13, which sprays it outwards. The docking groove 291 is used for the insertion and rotation of the docking rod 29. The two ends of the docking rod 29 are inserted into the docking grooves 291 on the surfaces of the fixing block 28 and the connecting nut 26, respectively, and the docking rod 29 is rotated.

[0044] This connects the connecting rod 29 to the fixing block 28 and the connecting nut 26, so that when the connecting nut 26 moves, the sprayer 13 moves synchronously through the connecting rod 29 and the fixing block 28.

[0045] Working principle: When the component is not in use, the sprayer 13 is located inside the lower part of the tank 11, and the connecting rod 29 is connected to the fixing block 28 and the connecting nut 26. When the component is in use, water is delivered to the hose 27 through the water inlet pipe 12. The hose 27 delivers the water to the sprayer 13, which sprays it outward. At the same time, the motor 22 starts and drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate through the output end. This causes the rotating shaft 23 to drive the gear 24 to rotate synchronously, which in turn drives the lead screw 25 to rotate. This causes the connecting nut 26 to move on the surface of the lead screw 25. At this time, the connecting nut 26 drives the sprayer 13 to move synchronously through the connecting rod 29 and the fixing block 28. This causes the sprayer 13 to move from bottom to top through the hose 27 and the connecting nut 26. During the movement, the sprayer 13 sprays water to thoroughly rinse the inside of the tank 11, preventing the lower part and bottom of the tank 11 from not being thoroughly rinsed.

[0046] Please see Figures 1-2 , Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, further includes:

[0047] Auxiliary clamping components;

[0048] The auxiliary clamping assembly includes a second gear 31, a fixed rod 32, and a second lead screw 33; the second gear 31 is rotatably meshed with one side of the first gear 24, the bottom end of the fixed rod 32 is rotatably connected to the center of the top end of the second gear 31, and the top end is fixedly connected to the top end of the inner side of the tank 11; the top end of the second lead screw 33 is fixed to the bottom end of the second gear 31, and the bottom end is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the inner side of the tank 11.

[0049] Gear 2 31 is used to drive lead screw 2 33 to rotate together, fixed rod 32 is used to connect and rotate gear 2 31, and lead screw 2 33 is used to connect and move nut 34.

[0050] The screw 33 has a threaded connection to a movable nut 34. A crossbar 35 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable nut 34. A snap ring 36 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the crossbar 35. The snap ring 36 snaps into the middle section of the hose 27.

[0051] The movable nut 34 is used to connect the crossbar 35, the crossbar 35 is used to connect the snap ring 36, and the snap ring 36 is used to snap the hose 27. When the gear 1 24 rotates, it will drive the gear 2 31 that meshes with it to rotate synchronously, so that the gear 2 31 drives the screw 2 33 to rotate together, causing the movable nut 34 to move on the surface of the screw 2 33. At this time, the movable nut 34 drives the hose 27 to move through the crossbar 35 and the snap ring 36, thereby preventing the hose 27 from accumulating and moving downward due to the reduction of distance during the upward movement of the sprayer 13, and avoiding the accumulation of the downward-moving hose 27 from affecting the normal movement of the sprayer 13.

[0052] Working principle: When the component is not in use, the sprayer 13 is not moved, and the locking ring 36 is engaged with the hose 27. When the gear 1 24 rotates, it will drive the gear 2 31 that meshes with it to rotate synchronously, so that the gear 2 31 rotates through the fixed rod 32. At the same time, the gear 2 31 drives the lead screw 2 33 to rotate together, causing the moving nut 34 to move on the surface of the lead screw 2 33. At this time, the moving nut 34 drives the hose 27 to move through the crossbar 35 and the locking ring 36, thereby preventing the hose 27 from affecting the normal movement of the sprayer 13 during the upward movement of the sprayer 13.

[0053] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification.
