Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning fluid distribution equipment, and specifically to a cleaning fluid distribution mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Dairy companies typically use pipelines for transporting and transferring dairy products, and each pipeline needs to be cleaned via CIP (Clean-In-Place) cleaning. Due to the large number of pipelines and the need for switching between pipelines and changing the flow direction of the cleaning solution during cleaning, these switching requirements are often met using distribution panels.

[0003] Because the connecting pipe on the distribution plate needs to be disassembled, some of the cleaning fluid overflows, resulting in waste of cleaning fluid. At the same time, cleaning fluid stains remain on the outer wall of the connecting pipe and the surface of the distribution plate. If not cleaned for a long time, workers will come into contact with the cleaning fluid on their skin when they come into contact with the connecting pipe, causing secondary pollution. Utility Model Content:

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a cleaning fluid distribution mechanism. This mechanism allows for the simultaneous distribution of cleaning fluids from connected pipelines and the collection of cleaning fluids flowing out after the pipelines are disconnected, entering a closed cavity for subsequent processing. The distribution plate contaminated with cleaning fluid is then sprayed clean to ensure the exterior of the equipment remains clean.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A cleaning fluid distribution mechanism includes a distribution plate, a back pipe, a connecting pipe, a cleaning fluid pipeline, a bottom tank, a control valve, a cleaning fluid baffle, a sealing cylinder, a blocking plate, a connecting rod, and a connecting frame. The distribution plate has an even number of pairs of channels, arranged horizontally in two rows. The channels on the front of the distribution plate are connected to the connecting pipe. The top row of channels on the back of the distribution plate is connected to the cleaning fluid pipeline. The bottom row of channels on the back of the distribution plate is connected in pairs via the back pipe. A control valve for opening and closing is provided on the channels on the front of the distribution plate.

[0007] A bottom groove is fixed below the distribution plate; a water trough is provided at the corresponding bottom groove position below the connecting pipe; a closed cavity is provided at the corresponding bottom groove position below the distribution plate; the closed cavity has a chamfered slope at the connecting pipe docking position; liquid inlet holes are arranged on the slope; a cleaning fluid baffle is provided on the outer side of the slope; the cleaning fluid baffle and the slope form an independent trough structure; a movable groove is provided at the bottom of the distribution plate; a blocking plate is horizontally movable in the movable groove, with its back fixed to one end of a connecting rod; the other end of the connecting rod passes through the back of the distribution plate and is fixed to the frame of the connecting frame; sealing cylinders are fixed at both ends of the bottom groove; the telescopic ends of the sealing cylinders are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting frame; after the blocking plate is controlled to retract inward by the sealing cylinders, the blocking plate seals the trough structure formed by the cleaning fluid baffle and the slope.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the distribution plate is rotatably equipped with a sealing cover, which closes the water tank corresponding to the front of the distribution plate; the rotating shaft of the sealing cover is connected to the drive end of the drive motor.

[0009] Preferably, a spray pipe is fixed on the inner top surface of the enclosed cover; one or more nozzles are arranged on the spray pipe; the spray pipe is connected to a water source through a connecting hose and supplied with water by a water pump.

[0010] Preferably, the two channels furthest apart in a row of channels near the bottom on the back of the distribution plate are connected, and the remaining channels are connected in pairs.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting pipe is a U-shaped pipe, with threaded nuts at both ends and threads on the outside of the corresponding connecting pipe channel that mate with the nuts.

[0012] Preferably, a support rod is provided between the outside of the connecting pipe and the distribution plate; the distribution plate is provided with a mounting hole at one end of the support rod, and the support rod is movably inserted into the mounting hole; the support rod is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. By using the connection pipe, different cleaning fluid pipes can be connected for liquid distribution; the control valve can be used for on / off control to ensure that a large amount of cleaning fluid flows out of the cleaning fluid pipe during the connection pipe switching process.

[0015] 2. After the control valve is closed, the residual cleaning fluid in the connecting pipe will flow out during the conversion and docking process and enter the independent tank structure formed between the cleaning fluid baffle and the slope. Finally, it will enter the closed cavity through the inlet hole for collection. Since the outflow of cleaning fluid will contaminate the front of the distribution plate and cause secondary contact for operators, a spray pipe is installed on the sealed cover to clean the connecting pipe and the front of the distribution plate by spraying. The blocking plate seals the tank structure formed by the cleaning fluid baffle and the slope, preventing cleaning water from entering the closed cavity during spray cleaning. The cleaning water then enters the water tank, separating the cleaning fluid from the cleaning water. Attached image description:

Detailed implementation method:

[0023] like Figure 1-5As shown, a cleaning fluid distribution mechanism includes a distribution plate 1 with an even number of pairs of channels 1.1, arranged horizontally in two rows. The channels 1.1 on the front of the distribution plate 1 are connected via connecting pipes 3. A row of channels 1.1 near the top of the back of the distribution plate 1 connects to a cleaning fluid pipe 4. A row of channels 1.1 near the bottom of the back of the distribution plate 1 connects in pairs via back pipes 2. Specifically, the two channels 1.1 furthest apart in the bottom row of channels 1.1 on the back of the distribution plate 1 are connected, and the remaining channels 1.1 are connected in pairs. A control valve 6 is provided on the channels 1.1 on the front of the distribution plate 1 to control their opening and closing. By changing the position of the connecting pipes 3, different cleaning fluid pipes 4 can be connected to achieve the purpose of distributing the cleaning fluid. The connecting pipes 3 are U-shaped pipes, with threaded nuts at both ends, and corresponding threads on the channels 1.1 of the connecting pipes 3 that mate with the nuts. To ensure the stability of the connecting pipe 3, a support rod 17 is provided between the outside of the connecting pipe 3 and the distribution plate 1; the distribution plate 1 is provided with a mounting hole at one end corresponding to the support rod 17, and the support rod 17 is movably inserted into the mounting hole; the support rod 17 is fixedly connected to the connecting pipe 3.

[0024] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, a bottom groove 5 is fixed below the distribution plate 1; a water tank 5.1 is provided at the corresponding position of the bottom groove 5 below the connecting pipe 3, and the water tank 5.1 is used to collect cleaning water. A closed cavity 5.2 is provided at the corresponding position of the bottom groove 5 below the distribution plate 1, and the closed cavity 5.2 is used to collect a portion of the cleaning fluid flowing out from the disassembly connecting pipe 3. Specifically, the closed cavity 5.2 has a chamfered slope 5.3 at the docking position of the connecting pipe 3; liquid inlet holes 5.4 are arranged on the slope 5.3; a cleaning fluid baffle 7 is provided on the outside of the slope 5.3; the cleaning fluid baffle 7 and the slope 5.3 form an independent tank structure; when the connecting pipe 3 is loosened by the nut, the cleaning fluid flows directly into this tank structure and enters the closed cavity 5.2 through the liquid inlet hole 5.4.

[0025] like Figure 2-5 As shown, the bottom of the distribution plate 1 is provided with a movable groove 1.2; within the movable groove 1.2, a blocking plate 9 is horizontally movable, with its back fixed to one end of a connecting rod 10; the other end of the connecting rod 10 passes through the back of the distribution plate 1 and is fixed to the frame of the connecting frame 11; both ends of the bottom groove 5 are fixed with sealing cylinders 8; the telescopic ends of the sealing cylinders 8 are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting frame 11; after the blocking plate 9 is controlled to retract inward by the sealing cylinders 8, the blocking plate 9 seals the tank structure formed by the cleaning fluid partition 7 and the slope 5.3. This structure is mainly to prevent cleaning water from entering through the inlet hole 5.4 during the spray cleaning stage, ensuring that cleaning water enters the water tank 5.1.

[0026] As shown in the figure, the following optimizations were performed:

[0027] To prevent splashing during spray cleaning, a rotatable cover 12 is installed on the top of the distribution plate 1, which closes the water tank 5.1 corresponding to the front of the distribution plate 1. The rotating shaft of the cover 12 is connected to the drive end of the drive motor 13. During cleaning, the cover 12 is closed. A spray pipe 14 is fixed on the inner top surface of the cover 12; one or more nozzles 15 are arranged on the spray pipe 14; the spray pipe 14 is connected to a water source through a connecting hose 16 and supplied with water by a water pump. The cleaning water is different from the cleaning liquid and is used to rinse the cleaning liquid. Clean water is sufficient. The closed cavity 5.2 and the water tank 5.1 are respectively provided with liquid outlets; the liquid outlets are discharged externally through pipes. Unless otherwise described, the fixing methods are all welded or threaded fastened using common technical means in the industry.

[0028] The working principle is as follows:

[0029] Connector 3 is joined using nuts. Connector 3 can be joined vertically or horizontally to accommodate the connection requirements of cleaning fluid pipeline 4. Before the connection change, the corresponding control valve 6 needs to be closed to prevent a large amount of cleaning fluid from flowing out of the cleaning fluid pipeline 4. After the control valve 6 is closed, some cleaning fluid will flow out of connector 3 after the nuts are loosened, which may easily contaminate the distribution plate 1 and the outside of connector 3. At this time, connector 3 cannot be removed directly. Wait until all the cleaning fluid has entered the independent tank structure formed between the cleaning fluid baffle 7 and the slope 5.3 before completing the connection change. After the connection change installation is completed, the closed cover 12 is closed by controlling the drive motor 13, and the blocking plate 9 is closed by controlling the sealing cylinder 8. The water pump is started to supply water, and the nozzle 15 sprays downward to complete the cleaning work. The cleaning water enters the water tank 5.1.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
