Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic bucket cleaning devices, and more particularly to a bucket of an automatic cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, the bucket, as a core component of engineering machinery and material handling equipment, is widely used in mining, construction, waste disposal, and other fields. The bucket frequently comes into contact with various complex materials, inevitably resulting in stains and adhesive residues remaining on its inner wall. If not cleaned promptly, this not only affects the bucket's loading efficiency but can also lead to material mixing and contamination, reducing the equipment's lifespan. Therefore, regular cleaning and maintenance of the bucket is crucial for ensuring the efficient operation of production processes.

[0003] Currently, traditional bucket cleaning relies heavily on manual operation. Workers need to use tools such as shovels and brushes to clean deep inside the bucket. Dealing with stubborn stains and dried, sticky substances often requires significant physical effort and time, and suffers from problems such as numerous blind spots and low efficiency. Furthermore, during the cleaning process, operators need to frequently replace worn brushes. Traditional brushes are usually fixed with bolts or clips, requiring wrenches, screwdrivers, and other auxiliary tools for disassembly and installation, making the process cumbersome and extending equipment downtime for maintenance, thus affecting the overall work progress. How to achieve automated and efficient bucket cleaning and simplify the maintenance process for easily damaged parts such as brushes has become an urgent technical problem to be solved. To address this technical problem, this application proposes an automatic cleaning device for a bucket. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an automatic cleaning device with a bucket. In operation, an electric push rod moves a fixed plate within the bucket, where a nozzle, scraper, and brush on the fixed plate work in tandem. The scraper first removes stubborn stains, while the brush cleans away residue. For dried stains, the nozzle can be activated to soften them before cleaning. Compared to manual cleaning, this device is more labor-saving and efficient. To install the brush, press the limiting block to open the T-shaped opening, push the sliding plate along the rail, and release it. The limiting block then resets and locks under spring pressure. Disassembly is achieved by repeatedly pressing the limit block. This design requires no tools and is more efficient and convenient than traditional methods.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a bucket for an automatic cleaning device, comprising a bucket body, an isolation chamber fixedly connected to the inner outer wall of the bucket body, an electric push rod provided on the outer wall of the isolation chamber, a fixed plate provided at the drive end of the electric push rod, a concave plate fixedly connected to the left outer wall of the fixed plate, a scraper provided on the inner wall of the concave plate, a slide rail provided inside the fixed plate, a sliding plate provided inside the slide rail, and a brush fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the sliding plate.

[0006] Furthermore, the fixing plate has a placement groove inside, and a first spring is provided inside the placement groove. A convex limiting block is provided at the top of the first spring.

[0007] Furthermore, a water tank is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the isolation chamber, and a water valve is installed on the top of the water tank.

[0008] Furthermore, a nozzle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top of the fixing plate, and the water valve and the nozzle are connected by a spring hose.

[0009] Furthermore, a movable plate is provided on the inner wall of the bucket body, and a handle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the water tank has an inlet at the top and an outlet at the bottom.

[0011] Furthermore, the concave plate and the scraper are connected by a second spring.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. In this utility model, when the automatic cleaning device is used, the electric push rod is activated to push the fixed plate to move inside the bucket. At this time, the nozzle, scraper and brush on the fixed plate will first remove the stubborn stains inside the bucket as the fixed plate moves, and then clean them with the brush. For some dried stains, the nozzle can be turned on to spray water inside the bucket first to soften the dried stains before cleaning. Compared with traditional manual cleaning, this device is more labor-saving and convenient.

[0014] 2. In this utility model, when installing and removing the brush of the automatic cleaning device, since the brush is installed on the slide plate, it is only necessary to press the limiting block inside the slide rail to overcome the elastic force of the bottom spring and move it into the placement groove, thereby opening the T-shaped notch at one end of the slide rail. Align the slide plate with the opening and push it into the interior along the guide groove of the slide rail. Then, release the pressed limiting block, and the limiting block will reset under the elastic force of the spring, closing the notch and restricting the lateral movement of the slide plate, ensuring that the slide plate remains in a fixed position inside the slide rail. Compared with the traditional method of disassembling and installing with tools, this device is faster and more convenient. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 An automatic cleaning device includes a bucket body 1. An isolation chamber 7 is fixedly connected to the inner outer wall of the bucket body 1. The isolation chamber 7 protects the water tank 8 and electric push rod 2 inside. The electric push rod 2 is installed on the outer wall of the isolation chamber 7, which saves manpower. A fixing plate 3 is installed at the drive end of the electric push rod 2. The fixing plate 3 can separate the object being scooped from the pushing device, preventing the pushing device from being damaged by the material. A concave plate 5 is fixedly connected to the left outer wall of the fixing plate 3. A scraper 6 is installed on the inner wall of the concave plate 5. The scraper 6 can remove stubborn stains on the bottom of the bucket body 1. A slide rail 20 is installed inside the fixing plate 3. A slide plate 10 is installed inside the slide rail 20. A brush 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the slide plate 10. The brush 11 can sweep away small stains and water stains.

[0023] Reference Figures 2-4The fixed plate 3 has a placement groove 21 inside, and a first spring 16 is installed inside the placement groove 21. A convex limiting block 15 is installed at the top of the first spring 16. Pressing the convex limiting block 15 overcomes the elastic force of the first spring 16, causing it to move into the placement groove 21, opening the T-shaped notch of the slide rail 20. At this time, the slide plate 10 is aligned with the opening and pushed into the interior along the guide groove of the slide rail 20. The brush 11 at the bottom of the slide plate 10 simultaneously enters the predetermined working area. After releasing the convex limiting block 15, the first spring... Spring 16 releases its elastic force, pushing the convex limiting block 15 to reset. Its convex structure then engages with the T-shaped opening again, sealing the notch and restricting the lateral movement of the slide plate 10, ensuring that the slide plate 10 remains in a fixed position within the slide rail 20. The elastic force of the first spring 16 is sufficient to support the cleaning process, preventing the slide plate 10 from sliding due to vibration or other external forces. A water tank 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the inner wall of the isolation chamber 7, and a water valve 18 is installed on the top of the water tank 8. A nozzle 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the top of the fixed plate 3, and the nozzle 4 can spray water onto the shovel. The inside of the bucket body 1 is sprayed with water to remove dry stains for easier cleaning. The water sprayed inside the bucket body 1 is also swept away by the brush 11 to prevent water stains from remaining inside. The water valve 18 and the nozzle 4 are connected by a spring hose 12. The spring hose 12 can adapt to the movement of the fixed plate 3 to prevent the pipe from being pulled and broken due to mechanical movement. A movable plate 14 is provided on the inner wall of the bucket body 1. A handle 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the movable plate 14. The movable plate 14 is opened by the handle 13 to start and stop the electric push rod 2 inside. A water inlet 9 is provided at the top of the water tank 8 and a water outlet 19 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 8. After cleaning, the water outlet 19 is opened and the residual water is discharged through the bottom of the water tank 8 to keep the inside of the device dry and prevent freezing and damage to the structure in winter. The concave plate 5 and the scraper 6 are connected by a second spring 17. When the scraper 6 cleans the bottom of the bucket and encounters a hard object, it will retract under the action of the second spring 17 to overcome the obstacle, and the brush 11 behind it will clean it.

[0024] Working principle: When the bucket body 1 is loaded with material or needs to be cleaned of bottom stains, the movable plate 14 is opened by the handle 13, which activates the electric push rod 2 in the isolation chamber. After the electric push rod 2 is activated, it drives the fixed plate 3 to move to the left through the thrust. The fixed plate 3 pushes the concave plate 5 and the inner scraper 6 to move synchronously. The scraper 6 is close to the bottom of the bucket body 1, and the edge of the scraper 6 is used to physically remove stubborn stains. If the scraper 6 encounters a hard obstacle, the second spring 17 is compressed, causing the scraper 6 to retract briefly to avoid damage to the device due to hard collision. After passing the obstacle, the spring returns to its original position, and the scraper 6 continues to clean. When the fixed plate 3 moves, the slide plate 10 in the internal slide rail 2 moves synchronously, driving the bottom brush 11 to move horizontally along the bottom of the bucket. The brush 11 sweeps away the stains removed by the scraper 6. Fragments and small particles are removed by shoveling and then sweeping to ensure no residue remains at the bottom of the bucket. If dried stains adhere to the inner wall of the bucket, the water valve 18 is opened, and the water in the water tank 8 is delivered to the nozzle 4 through the spring hose 12. The nozzle 4 sprays water mist into the inside of the bucket body 1. The water stains sprayed inside the bucket body 1 are also swept away by the brush 11 to prevent water stains from remaining inside, softening dried stains and reducing cleaning difficulty. When the inside of the bucket body 1 is filled with material, the isolation chamber 7 isolates the water tank 8 and the electric push rod 2 from the material space of the bucket body 1 to prevent material from impacting the core components and extend the equipment life. When the brush 11 needs to be replaced, the convex limit block 15 is pressed to overcome the elasticity of the first spring 16 and move it into the placement groove 21, opening the T-shaped notch of the slide rail 20. At this time, align the slide plate 10 with the opening and push it into the interior along the guide groove of the slide rail 20. The brush 11 at the bottom of the slide plate 10 simultaneously enters the predetermined working area. After releasing the convex limiting block 15, the first spring 16 releases its elastic force. The elastic force of the spring is sufficient to support the fixation of the internal slide plate 10 during the cleaning process, pushing the convex limiting block 15 to reset. Its convex structure is once again inserted into the T-shaped opening, closing the gap and restricting the lateral movement of the slide plate 10, ensuring that the slide plate 10 remains in a fixed position within the slide rail 20, and preventing it from sliding on its own due to external forces such as vibration.

[0025] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
