[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 3This utility model discloses a high-efficiency cleaning device for release film anilox rollers. The high-efficiency cleaning device for release film anilox rollers includes a support 100, a shell 200, an inner groove 300, a heating component, and a cleaning component. The support 100 is configured as a frame structure with a preset internal space. The shell 200 is fitted onto the outer surface of the support 100, and the inner groove 300 is installed inside the support 100, thereby forming a jacket structure between the shell 200 and the inner groove 300. The heating component is disposed inside the shell 200 and inside the inner groove 300, thereby heating the inner groove 300 and the space between the shell 200 and the inner groove 300. The cleaning component is disposed in the inner groove 300. When the anilox roller to be cleaned is placed in the inner groove 300, the cleaning component cleans the anilox roller under preset temperature conditions. Specifically, the cleaning assembly includes an ultrasonic generating unit 410 and several vibrating plates 420. The ultrasonic generating unit 410 is disposed at the bottom of the outer casing 200; the several vibrating plates 420 are disposed at the bottom of the inner tank 300. The ultrasonic generating unit 410 is connected to the several vibrating plates 420 respectively. Thus, the high-efficiency cleaning device for release film anilox rollers of this invention performs ultrasonic cleaning on the anilox rollers placed inside the inner tank 300 through the several vibrating plates 420. Specifically, the heating assembly includes several first heating units 510 and several second heating units 520. The several first heating units 510 are disposed inside the inner tank 300 to heat the cleaning fluid inside the inner tank 300 to a preset temperature. The several second heating units 520 are disposed in the interlayer space between the outer casing 200 and the inner tank 300 to heat the air in the interlayer to a preset temperature, thereby maintaining the temperature of the cleaning fluid inside the inner tank 300 and keeping the cleaning fluid at a constant temperature, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning assembly on the anilox rollers.

[0030] Furthermore, the cleaning assembly also includes a mounting frame 430, several shafts 440, and several idlers 450. The mounting frame 430 is located at the bottom of the inner tank 300; the several shafts 440 are rotatably mounted on the top of the mounting frame 430; each shaft 440 is fitted with several idlers 450, so that the several shafts 440 combined with the several idlers 450 can support the anilox roller to be cleaned. At the same time, based on the rotatable function of the several shafts 440 relative to the mounting frame 430, the anilox roller can rotate freely during the cleaning process, thereby further improving the cleaning effect.

[0031] Specifically, several shafts 440 extend and are arranged along the length of the mounting frame 430, and each pair of shafts 440 are arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the mounting frame 430. Thus, the anilox roller can be placed on the top side of the two parallel shafts 440 and supported by the corresponding several support rollers 450. This ensures that the anilox roller receives stable support while facilitating its free rotation.

[0032] In one embodiment, the cleaning assembly further includes a motor 460, which is disposed at one end of the inner tank 300. The output shaft of the motor 460 extends through the tank wall of the inner tank 300 into the interior of the inner tank 300.
