Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, specifically to a cleaning device for pickle jars. Background Technology

[0002] In some kimchi pickling processes, the pickling jars need to be cleaned after pickling to prepare for the next batch. Existing cleaning devices include a lower connecting plate, a brush body, blades, bristles, and a handle. The handle is fixed to the center of the bottom of the lower connecting plate, and a protective structure is provided on one side of the outer wall of the handle. An upper connecting plate is located above the lower connecting plate, and a mounting frame is fixed to the center of the top of the upper connecting plate. A connecting block is installed at the center of the interior of the mounting frame, and the top of the connecting block extends to the outside of the mounting frame and is fixed to the brush body. Bristles at equal intervals are installed on both sides of the outer wall of the brush body. A guide rod is located at the center of the top of the brush body, and blades are installed on both sides of the outer wall of the guide rod. This device facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the brush body, thus improving the convenience of using the cleaning brush. It also avoids the problem of some sizes of kimchi jars being unsuitable, thereby increasing the applicability of the cleaning brush and improving the comfort of holding it.

[0003] Existing cleaning devices have the following problems: they require multiple cleaning cycles and the resulting wastewater must be poured out, resulting in low cleaning efficiency.

[0004] Based on the above situation, there is an urgent need for a kimchi jar cleaning device to solve the problem of low cleaning efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem of low cleaning efficiency in existing cleaning devices, which require multiple cleaning cycles and the resulting wastewater discharge.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A kimchi jar cleaning device, comprising:

[0008] The base is set on a horizontal surface;

[0009] A clamping mechanism, mounted on a base, is used to clamp an inverted kimchi jar;

[0010] A rotating mechanism connects to and drives the clamping mechanism to rotate;

[0011] The cleaning mechanism includes a tube and a brush mounted on the tube, the tube extending into the kimchi jar.

[0012] Existing cleaning devices require multiple cleaning cycles and the emptying of wastewater. In this solution, the clamping mechanism holds the inverted kimchi jar, and the rotating mechanism drives the clamping mechanism and the kimchi jar to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the tube delivers cleaning liquid into the kimchi jar, and the brush cleans the inner wall of the kimchi jar. The wastewater generated during the cleaning process flows out naturally under the action of gravity, eliminating the need to repeatedly turn the kimchi jar over to empty the wastewater, thus solving the problem of low cleaning efficiency.

[0013] Furthermore, this solution does not exclusively limit the specific structure of the clamping mechanism. One feasible solution is that the clamping mechanism includes at least three clamping units. Each clamping unit includes a first movable block and a pressure rod fixed on the first movable block. The first movable block is provided with a screw. When this solution is adopted, by adjusting the position of the first movable block, the pressure rod is pressed against and fixed to the kimchi jar, which can clamp kimchi jars of different sizes.

[0014] Furthermore, in order to fix the first movable block, one feasible solution is that the first movable block is provided with a screw, and the screw is connected to a knob. When this solution is adopted, the screw can be turned conveniently and quickly by operating the knob. Due to the self-locking nature of the screw structure, the first movable block can be prevented from moving during the rotation of the clamping mechanism.

[0015] Furthermore, to prevent the pressure bar from damaging the kimchi jar, one feasible solution is to provide a flexible layer on the pressure bar. When this solution is adopted, the pressure bar and the kimchi jar will make flexible contact under the action of the flexible layer, thereby preventing the pressure bar from damaging the kimchi jar.

[0016] Furthermore, this solution does not exclusively limit the specific structure of the rotating mechanism. One feasible solution is that the rotating mechanism includes a pulley connected to the clamping mechanism and a motor mounted on the base. An annular belt is installed between the pulley and the motor. When this solution is adopted, the motor drives the annular belt and the pulley to rotate in sequence, thereby driving the clamping mechanism and the pickle jar to rotate synchronously.

[0017] Furthermore, to facilitate adjustment of the eccentricity of the brush, the tube body is connected to a second movable block. The second movable block is provided with a guide rod and a locking bolt is installed on the second movable block. When this solution is adopted, after loosening the locking bolt, the position of the second movable block is adjusted along the axial direction of the guide rod, thereby adjusting the eccentricity of the brush to adapt to different sizes of kimchi jars.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] 1. The clamping mechanism holds the inverted kimchi jar, and the rotating mechanism drives the clamping mechanism and the kimchi jar to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the tube delivers the cleaning liquid into the kimchi jar, and the brush cleans the inner wall of the kimchi jar. The wastewater generated during the cleaning process flows out naturally under the action of gravity, eliminating the need to repeatedly turn the kimchi jar over to pour out the wastewater, thus solving the problem of low cleaning efficiency.

[0020] 2. Since the clamping mechanism includes at least three clamping units, each clamping unit includes a first movable block and a pressure rod fixed on the first movable block. The first movable block is provided with a screw. By adjusting the position of the first movable block, the pressure rod is pressed against and fixed to the kimchi jar, thus enabling the clamping of kimchi jars of different sizes.

[0021] Third, since the first movable block is provided with a screw, and the screw is connected to a knob, the screw can be turned conveniently and quickly by operating the knob. Due to the self-locking nature of the screw structure, the first movable block can be prevented from moving during the rotation of the clamping mechanism. Attached Figure Description

[0034] It should be noted that relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the term "comprising" or any other variations thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0035] The features and performance of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0036] Example:

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A kimchi jar cleaning device, comprising:

[0038] Base 1 is set on a horizontal surface;

[0039] Clamping mechanism 2, installed on base 1 and used to clamp the inverted kimchi jar 5;

[0040] Rotating mechanism 3 connects to and drives clamping mechanism 2 to rotate;

[0041] The cleaning mechanism 4 includes a tube 41 and a brush 42 disposed on the tube 41, the tube 41 extending into the kimchi jar 5.

[0042] Existing cleaning devices require multiple cleaning cycles and the resulting wastewater to be poured out. In this solution, the inverted kimchi jar 5 is held by a clamping mechanism 2, and the rotating mechanism 3 drives the clamping mechanism 2 and the kimchi jar 5 to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the cleaning liquid is delivered into the kimchi jar 5 through the pipe 41, and the inner wall of the kimchi jar 5 is cleaned by a brush 42. The wastewater generated during the cleaning process flows out naturally under the action of gravity, eliminating the need to repeatedly turn the kimchi jar 5 over to pour out the wastewater, thus solving the problem of low cleaning efficiency.

[0043] Reference Figure 5 Preferably, in this embodiment, a nozzle 46 is installed on the pipe body 41, which enables the cleaning liquid to be distributed more evenly inside the pickle jar 5.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 This solution does not limit the specific structure of the clamping mechanism 2. One feasible solution is that the clamping mechanism 2 includes at least three clamping units. Each clamping unit includes a first movable block 21 and a pressure rod 22 fixed on the first movable block 21. The first movable block 21 is provided with a screw 23. When this solution is adopted, by adjusting the position of the first movable block 21, the pressure rod 22 is pressed against and fixed to the kimchi jar 5, which can clamp kimchi jars 5 of different sizes.

[0045] To fix the first movable block 21, one feasible solution is to have a screw 23 inserted through the first movable block 21, and a knob 231 connected to the screw 23. With this solution, the screw 23 can be rotated conveniently and quickly by operating the knob 231. Due to the self-locking nature of the screw structure, the first movable block 21 can be prevented from moving during the rotation of the clamping mechanism 2.

[0046] To prevent the pressure bar 22 from damaging the kimchi jar 5, one feasible solution is to provide a flexible layer 221 on the pressure bar 22. Specifically, the flexible layer 221 can be a rubber layer or a silicone layer. When this solution is adopted, the pressure bar 22 and the kimchi jar 5 are in flexible contact under the action of the flexible layer 221, thereby preventing the pressure bar 22 from damaging the kimchi jar 5.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 This solution does not limit the specific structure of the rotating mechanism 3. One feasible solution is that the rotating mechanism 3 includes a pulley 31 connected to the clamping mechanism 2 and a motor 32 mounted on the base 1. An annular belt 33 is installed between the pulley 31 and the motor 32. When this solution is adopted, the motor 32 drives the annular belt 33 and the pulley 31 to rotate in sequence, thereby driving the clamping mechanism 2 and the pickle jar 5 to rotate synchronously.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 To facilitate adjustment of the eccentricity of the brush 42, the tube 41 is connected to a second movable block 43. The second movable block 43 is provided with a guide rod 44 and a locking bolt 45 is installed on the second movable block 43. When this scheme is adopted, after loosening the locking bolt 45, the position of the second movable block 43 is adjusted along the axial direction of the guide rod 44, thereby adjusting the eccentricity of the brush 42 to adapt to different sizes of pickle jars 5.

[0049] To address the issue of low cleaning efficiency, this solution employs a clamping mechanism 2 to hold an inverted kimchi jar 5, while a rotating mechanism 3 drives the clamping mechanism 2 and the kimchi jar 5 to rotate synchronously. Simultaneously, a pipe 41 delivers cleaning fluid into the kimchi jar 5, and a brush 42 cleans the inner wall of the kimchi jar 5. Wastewater generated during the cleaning process flows out naturally under gravity, eliminating the need to repeatedly turn the kimchi jar 5 over to empty the wastewater, thus solving the problem of low cleaning efficiency.

[0050] In order to facilitate clamping kimchi jars 5 of different sizes, in this solution, the clamping mechanism 2 includes at least three clamping units. Each clamping unit includes a first movable block 21 and a pressure rod 22 fixed on the first movable block 21. The first movable block 21 is provided with a screw 23. By adjusting the position of the first movable block 21, the pressure rod 22 is pressed against and fixed to the kimchi jar 5, thus clamping kimchi jars 5 of different sizes.

[0051] In order to fix the first movable block 21, in this solution, the first movable block 21 is provided with a screw 23, and the screw 23 is connected to a knob 231. By operating the knob 231, the screw 23 can be rotated conveniently and quickly. Due to the self-locking nature of the screw structure, the first movable block 21 can be prevented from moving during the rotation of the clamping mechanism 2.

[0052] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.
