[0035] This embodiment provides a cleaning device and a lifting machine, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the elevator includes a conveyor belt 100, a first baffle 101, a second baffle 102, and a cleaning device provided in this embodiment. The first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 are respectively provided on both sides of the conveyor belt 100 along its conveying direction. The first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 on both sides of the conveyor belt 100 of the elevator can effectively prevent products from falling off the conveyor belt 100 during conveying.

[0036] The cleaning device provided in this embodiment is used to clean the conveyor belt 100. The cleaning device includes a base frame 1 and a cleaning component 2. A first baffle 101 and a second baffle 102 are respectively connected to the two sides of the base frame 1 of the cleaning device. The cleaning component 2 is disposed on the base frame 1 and abuts against the surface of the conveyor belt 100. The conveyor belt 100 can move relative to the cleaning component 2 to clean the surface of the conveyor belt 100.

[0037] When the cleaning device provided in this embodiment is working, the conveyor belt 100 moves continuously. The first baffle 101 and the second baffle 102 on both sides of the conveyor belt 100 along its conveying direction are connected to the base frame 1 of the cleaning device. The base frame 1 provides stable support for the cleaning component 2. The cleaning component 2 continuously abuts against the surface of the conveyor belt 100, and removes dust or contaminants from the surface of the conveyor belt 100 in a timely manner. This effectively prevents dust or contaminants from adhering to the product, prevents stains from appearing on the product packaging and forming quality defects, reduces the subsequent misjudgment and rejection of products with stains, avoids product damage, and ensures production efficiency and product quality.

[0038] When the elevator provided in this embodiment is working, the cleaning component 2 is in close contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 100. The self-cleaning function is achieved by means of the relative movement between the conveyor belt 100 and the cleaning device, which can actively remove dust or contaminants from the surface of the conveyor belt 100 and greatly improve cleaning efficiency.

[0039] In this embodiment, the cleaning device is applied to the conveyor belt 100 of the elevator. The conveyor belt 100 moves in a continuous closed-loop cycle, performing an endless circular reciprocating motion. The conveyor belt 100 includes horizontal and vertical sections. In the horizontal section, products are conveyed horizontally, and in the vertical section, products are conveyed vertically. In other embodiments, the conveyor belt 100 can move in a straight line, transporting products in one direction. The cleaning device can come into contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 100. As the conveyor belt 100 moves relative to the cleaning device, the cleaning device can clean the surface of the conveyor belt 100. The specific form of the conveyor belt 100 is not specifically limited here.

[0040] It is worth noting that the cleaning device can also be applied to escalator handrails. The cleaning component 2 of the cleaning device is always in contact with the escalator handrail, and the handrail can move relative to the cleaning component 2 to clean the surface of the handrail of dirt and dust. The application scenario is not specifically limited here.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, for ease of description, the upper part of the continuous closed-loop circulating conveyor belt 100 is defined as the carrying and conveying section, which mainly undertakes the function of supporting and transporting products and directly participates in the actual workflow; the lower part of the continuous closed-loop circulating conveyor belt 100 is defined as the return transport section, which is responsible for guiding the conveyor belt 100 from the front end back to the rear end to form a cycle, and does not directly participate in the transport of products; the transition part of the continuous closed-loop circulating conveyor belt 100 is defined as the turning and reversing section, which is set at the turning point between the upper and lower parts of the conveyor belt 100, and realizes the smooth reversal of the conveyor belt 100 through rollers or pulleys to ensure the smoothness and stability of the circulating operation of the conveyor belt 100.

[0042] In this embodiment, the cleaning device is installed on the return transport section. The cleaning component 2 abuts against the surface of the return transport section, which can clean the entire conveyor belt 100. This avoids cleaning the carrying transport section from interfering with normal product transportation and improves cleaning efficiency. This layout can remove dust, debris and other impurities attached to the return transport section in a timely manner, prevent them from circulating to the carrying transport section and contaminating the products, and ensure the stability of the elevator operation and the cleanliness of the production environment.

[0043] In other embodiments, the cleaning device can also be set in the turning and reversing section, with the cleaning component 2 abutting against the surface of the turning and reversing section. By utilizing the tension changes and angle adjustments of the conveyor belt 100 during turning, the cleaning component 2 can more fully adhere to the surface of the conveyor belt 100, enhancing the cleaning effect and effectively removing stubborn impurities that adhere to the surface due to friction and compression during the turning process, thus preventing impurities from circulating into the carrying conveyor section with the conveyor belt 100 and affecting product quality.

[0044] In some embodiments, the cleaning device can also be installed in the carrying conveyor section, with the cleaning component 2 abutting against the surface of the carrying conveyor section. Cleaning is completed during the idle period of the equipment, that is, the surface of the conveyor belt 100 is cleaned when the conveyor belt 100 is not conveying products. This can specifically remove residual materials, dust or contaminants after the conveying operation, and prevent materials, dust or contaminants from solidifying and adhering, affecting the quality of the next conveying.

[0045] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the cleaning device also includes a mounting component 3, which is connected to the base frame 1. The cleaning component 2 is mounted on the mounting component 3 on the side facing the conveyor belt 100. This structural design makes the installation and disassembly of the cleaning component 2 more convenient, facilitating daily maintenance and replacement. Through the transition connection of the mounting component 3, the distance and angle between the cleaning component 2 and the conveyor belt 100 can be flexibly adjusted to ensure a tight fit between the two and enhance the cleaning effect.

[0046] like Figure 2 As shown, the mounting component 3 is a pillow-shaped component, and the surface of the pillow-shaped component facing the conveyor belt 100 is a semi-elliptical arc surface. The cleaning component 2 is mounted on the semi-elliptical arc surface. The semi-elliptical arc surface allows the cleaning component 2 to form a more closely fitting curved contact with the conveyor belt 100. Compared with a planar structure, this significantly improves the uniformity of cleaning coverage area and cleaning intensity, effectively removing dust or impurities from the surface of the conveyor belt 100. At the same time, the semi-elliptical arc surface facilitates the sliding of dust or contaminants after cleaning by the cleaning component 2, allowing them to quickly detach from the cleaning component 2, reducing the possibility of dust or contaminant accumulation, avoiding secondary pollution, and effectively improving cleaning efficiency.

[0047] like Figure 2As shown, the cleaning device also includes a connector 4, which is disposed on the surface of the mounting component 3 facing away from the conveyor belt 100. The connector 4 is detachably connected to the base frame 1, and a gap is reserved between the mounting component 3 and the inner bottom wall of the base frame 1. On the one hand, the reserved gap can be flexibly adjusted according to the distance between the cleaning component 2 and the conveyor belt 100, ensuring that the cleaning component 2 and the conveyor belt 100 fit tightly together, enhancing the cleaning effect, and avoiding wear of the cleaning component 2 or the conveyor belt 100 due to excessive compression, effectively adapting to different conveyor belts 100 and cleaning needs. On the other hand, the reserved gap provides a falling space for dust and debris generated during the cleaning operation, achieving efficient collection of dust or pollutants.

[0048] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, the surface of the pillow-shaped component away from the conveyor belt 100 is flat, which facilitates the quick installation and fixing of the connector 4, simplifies the assembly process, and improves installation efficiency. The flat surface allows for more even stress distribution, enhances the stability of the connection between the mounting component 3 and the base frame 1, and also facilitates daily inspection and maintenance, ensuring the stability of the cleaning device.

[0049] In this embodiment, the mounting component 3 is made of metal. The high rigidity of metal prevents the mounting component 3 from deforming during long-term use, ensuring that the cleaning component 2 always maintains a precise installation angle and position.

[0050] In other embodiments, the mounting component 3 can also be made of engineering plastic, which has the characteristics of low density, which can significantly reduce the overall weight of the cleaning device; it has insulating properties, which can effectively block the electrostatic conduction path, significantly reduce the accumulation of static electricity caused by friction, avoid static electricity adsorption of dust, and improve the cleaning effect.

[0051] In this embodiment, the cleaning device also includes a dust collection box (not shown), which is used to receive dust falling from the conveyor belt 100 cleaned by the cleaning component 2. This effectively collects dust or contaminants removed from the conveyor belt 100 by the cleaning component 2, preventing secondary pollution of the working environment or re-adhesion onto the conveyor belt 100. Furthermore, the independent dust collection box is easy to disassemble and clean, facilitating maintenance and helping to maintain the cleanliness of the cleaning device and the production environment, ensuring the continuous and efficient operation of the conveying process.

[0052] Optionally, the dust collection box can be set inside the base frame 1, surrounding the outside of the cleaning component 2, and set below the cleaning component 2, to ensure that dust, debris and other impurities peeled off from the surface of the conveyor belt 100 by the cleaning component 2 fall directly into the dust collection box under the action of gravity, thus preventing the possibility of dust overflow and secondary diffusion.

[0053] In other embodiments, the base frame 1 can directly receive the dust swept off the conveyor belt 100 by the cleaning component 2. This design eliminates the need for additional dust receiving components, simplifies the structure of the cleaning device, and reduces manufacturing costs and space occupation. No specific limitations are made here.

[0054] In this embodiment, the cleaning component 2 is a brush. On the one hand, the soft and dense bristles of the brush can closely adhere to the surface of the conveyor belt 100, reaching deep into the crevices to remove stubborn stains and fine dust particles, ensuring thorough cleaning. On the other hand, the elastic structure of the brush provides sufficient friction during cleaning while also cushioning the contact pressure with the belt surface, reducing wear on the conveyor belt 100 and extending its service life.

[0055] Optionally, the brush is made of pig bristle bundles. Pig bristle bundles are natural fibers with a soft and resilient texture and good elasticity. Their hydrophobicity makes them less prone to absorbing water and oil, maintaining cleaning efficiency and making them easy to clean and maintain. Furthermore, the natural characteristics of pig bristle bundles make them suitable for industries with high cleaning requirements, such as food and pharmaceutical, ensuring production safety and hygiene.

[0056] In some embodiments, the cleaning component 2 is a sponge brush. On the one hand, the porous structure of the sponge brush can efficiently absorb oil, water stains, and fine dust from the surface of the conveyor belt 100, and its high flexibility allows it to closely adhere to the surface of the conveyor belt 100, effectively removing stains from crevices. On the other hand, the soft texture of the sponge brush avoids scratching damage to the conveyor belt 100. In addition, the sponge brush has strong water and oil absorption properties, making it easy to clean and reuse.

[0057] In some embodiments, the cleaning component 2 is a rubber brush. The rubber brush enhances the friction with the conveyor belt 100, enabling powerful scraping and cleaning of stubborn stains, adhering dust, or contaminants on the surface of the conveyor belt 100, and is not easily deformed or damaged, ensuring thorough cleaning.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the conveyor belt 100 can carry products. The elevator also includes an electrical cabinet 103, which is electrically connected to the conveyor belt 100. The electrical cabinet 103 can drive the conveyor belt 100 to move, and the movement of the conveyor belt 100 can transport the products on it. The electrical cabinet 103's electrical connection to and driving of the conveyor belt 100 realizes automated control of product transportation, making operation more convenient and precise. Through the intelligent control of the electrical cabinet 103, the running speed and start / stop of the conveyor belt 100 can be flexibly adjusted according to the product weight, size, and transportation requirements, effectively improving transportation efficiency.

[0059] In this embodiment, multiple brackets are evenly spaced on the conveyor belt 100. Products can be placed on the brackets, and the movement of the conveyor belt 100 drives the brackets to move synchronously to transport the products. On the one hand, the evenly spaced brackets on the conveyor belt 100 provide stable support for the products. The synchronous movement of the brackets and the conveyor belt 100 effectively prevents the products from sliding or tipping over during transport, ensuring transport safety and improving transport efficiency. On the other hand, the evenly spaced layout facilitates product positioning and counting, enabling orderly and continuous transport of products, avoiding accumulation and chaos, and improving the standardization and reliability of the overall production process.

[0060] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
