[0026] Specific implementation 1:

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application provides a cleaning device for a liquid storage tank of a filling machine, including an annular top cover 1 for installation at the top opening of the liquid storage tank. A limiting groove 11 is formed on the inner ring side wall of the annular top cover 1. A turntable 2 is provided in the inner ring of the annular top cover 1. The circumference of the turntable 2 is rotatably connected to the limiting groove 11, so that the turntable 2 can rotate stably within the limiting groove 11. A cleaning component 3 is provided at the bottom of the turntable 2. A driving component 4 for driving the turntable 2 to rotate is provided at the top of the annular top cover 1. In use, the annular top cover 1 is installed at the top opening of the liquid storage tank, and then the driving component 4 is used to drive the turntable 2 to rotate. The turntable 2 drives the cleaning component 3 to rotate, and the inside of the liquid storage tank is cleaned by the cleaning component 3. Compared with traditional manual wiping, this device can quickly clean the inner wall of the liquid storage tank, greatly saving cleaning time, improving production efficiency, and avoiding the increased production costs of manual cleaning.

[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the cleaning component 3 includes a mounting post 31, a transmission rod 32, and a cleaning brush 33. The mounting post 31 is detachably connected to the turntable 2. The cleaning brush 33 is mounted on the mounting post 31 via the transmission rod 32. Specifically, one end of the transmission rod is fixedly connected to the mounting post 31, and the other end of the transmission rod 32 is fixedly connected to the cleaning brush 33. When the drive component 4 drives the turntable 2 to rotate, the mounting post 31 will rotate along with the turntable 2. As the mounting post 31 rotates, the transmission rod 32 will drive the cleaning brush 33 to rotate. The bristles of the cleaning brush 33 are in close contact with the inner wall of the storage tank, cleaning away the dirt and impurities attached to the inner wall of the storage tank. It is suitable for cleaning cylindrical storage tanks and greatly improves cleaning efficiency compared to manual cleaning.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the turntable 2 is provided with a mounting through hole adapted to the mounting post 31. The upper end of the mounting post 31 passes through the mounting through hole and is threaded. The upper end of the mounting post 31 is threadedly connected to a first locking nut 311 and a second locking nut 312. The first locking nut 311 and the second locking nut 312 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the turntable 2. By tightening the first locking nut 311 and the second locking nut 312, the first locking nut 311 and the second locking nut 312 are pressed against the turntable 2 from the upper and lower sides respectively, and the mounting post 31 is firmly fixed on the turntable 2. This allows the cleaning component 3 to stably perform cleaning operations as the turntable 2 rotates. In practical applications, mounting posts 31 of different lengths can be replaced according to the depth of the liquid storage tank to achieve effective cleaning of the liquid storage tank. The detachable connection between the mounting post 31 and the turntable 2 increases the versatility of the cleaning device.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, there are two cleaning components 3, which are symmetrically arranged. Compared with a single cleaning component 3, they can cover twice the area of ​​the inner wall of the storage tank in the same amount of time, which greatly shortens the cleaning time, improves the cleaning efficiency, reduces equipment downtime, and thus improves production efficiency.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, multiple balls 21 are evenly embedded in the top and bottom of the turntable 2 along the circumferential direction. The balls 21 are in rolling connection with the limiting groove 11. When the drive component 4 drives the turntable 2 to rotate, the balls 21 roll in the limiting groove 11. Since there is rolling friction between the balls 21 and the limiting groove 11, the friction force of rolling friction is smaller than that of sliding friction, which makes the rotation of the turntable 2 smoother, reduces the resistance during the rotation process, and reduces the wear of the turntable 2 and the limiting groove 11, thus extending the service life of the device.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the drive assembly 4 includes a mounting bracket 41, a drive motor 42, and a connector 43. The mounting bracket 41 is fixed on the annular top cover 1, and the drive motor 42 is fixed on the mounting bracket 41. The output shaft of the drive motor 42 is connected to the top of the turntable 2 through the connector 43. Specifically, the output shaft of the drive motor 42 is fixedly connected to the connector 43, and the connector 43 is fixedly connected to the turntable 2. The drive motor 42 drives the connector 43 to rotate, and the connector 43 drives the turntable 2 to rotate. In this embodiment, the connector 43 is "U" shaped, which ensures stable transmission.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a locking assembly 5 is provided at the bottom of the annular top cover 1. The locking assembly 5 includes a connecting ear 51 and a locking bolt 52. The connecting ear 51 is provided with a threaded hole that matches the locking bolt 52. The locking bolt 52 is threadedly connected to the connecting ear 51 through the threaded hole. When installing the annular top cover 1, place the annular top cover 1 at a suitable position at the top opening of the liquid storage tank. Then, align the locking bolt 52 with the threaded hole on the connecting ear 51. By rotating the locking bolt 52, the locking bolt 52 is gradually screwed into the threaded hole by utilizing the spiral action of the thread. As the locking bolt 52 is continuously screwed in, its end will gradually press against the top edge of the liquid storage tank, thereby firmly fixing the annular top cover 1 at the top opening of the liquid storage tank, ensuring that the entire cleaning device will not shift or loosen during operation. The installation process is simple. Specific Implementation Example 2:

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, compared with Embodiment 1, the cleaning device for the liquid storage tank of the filling machine in this application also includes a disinfection component 6. The disinfection is located between the two cleaning components 3. The disinfection component 6 includes a high-pressure rinsing disinfection pipe 61 and a union (existing technology, not described in detail here). The high-pressure rinsing disinfection pipe 61 is fixed to the bottom of the turntable 2, and the upper end of the high-pressure rinsing disinfection pipe extends to the top of the turntable 2. The union is located at the upper end of the high-pressure rinsing disinfection pipe 61. The high-pressure rinsing disinfection pipe 61 is evenly provided with a plurality of rinsing holes 611. An external high-pressure water source (such as a mixture of high-pressure water and disinfectant provided by a high-pressure water pump) is connected to the upper end of the high-pressure rinsing disinfection pipe 61 through the union. The union joint allows the high-pressure flushing and disinfection pipe 61 to rotate flexibly within a certain range while ensuring the connection is sealed, allowing high-pressure water to smoothly enter the pipe. The high-pressure water and disinfectant mixture entering the high-pressure flushing and disinfection pipe 61 is sprayed out at high speed from multiple flushing holes 611 evenly distributed on the pipe under the pressure inside the pipe. As the high-pressure flushing and disinfection pipe 61 rotates, these high-speed sprayed mixtures will impact the inner wall of the storage tank from all directions and multiple angles. The disinfectant in the mixture can kill bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms on the inner wall of the storage tank, while the high-pressure water can wash away the dirt and impurities attached to the inner wall, achieving simultaneous cleaning and disinfection.

[0036] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
