Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oil tank cleaning technology, and in particular to a cleaning device suitable for processing tanks for kitchen waste oil. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of waste cooking oil processing, cleaning the inner wall of the processing tank is a key step in ensuring production efficiency and hygiene standards. Because waste cooking oil has a high pour point and contains a large amount of grease, impurities and other components, it is very easy for it to solidify and adhere to the inner wall of the tank, especially the upper part of the tank, during the processing, forming a stubborn oil stain layer. This type of oil stain not only affects the quality of subsequent waste oil processing, but may also breed bacteria and bring hygiene hazards.
[0003] Traditional methods for cleaning kitchen waste oil processing tanks mainly rely on manual labor or cleaning tools. Since kitchen waste oil is often accompanied by a strong odor, the confined space and poor air quality inside the tank can threaten the health of operators. Traditional cleaning tools cannot penetrate into specific locations inside the tank through narrow inspection holes such as the observation hole on the top of the tank and the sampling port in the middle, resulting in a limited cleaning range and difficulty in completely removing stubborn oil stains from all parts of the inner wall. In particular, the cleaning effect is difficult to guarantee for hidden locations such as the top and corners of the tank. Therefore, this application proposes a cleaning device suitable for kitchen waste oil processing tanks. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a cleaning device suitable for kitchen waste oil processing tanks, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a cleaning device suitable for kitchen waste oil processing tanks, comprising a main rod, a sleeve movably fitted on the outside of the main rod, a rotatable rotating rod connected to the top of the sleeve, a sealing ring fitted at the connection between the rotating rod and the sleeve, an adjustable angle mounting cover provided at the top of the rotating rod, the mounting cover having a left-right through structure design, an electric hot air blower installed inside the mounting cover, and a lighting lamp installed at the front end of the top of the mounting cover, a battery cavity opened on the side of the rotating rod, a battery cover closed at the opening of the battery cavity, and the battery cover being flush with the outer wall of the rotating rod after being closed.
[0006] Furthermore, a notch is provided at the top of the rotating rod, and a fixed shaft is installed in the notch. A connecting block is installed at the center of the bottom of the mounting cover, and the connecting block is located in the notch and rotatably sleeved on the fixed shaft.

[0007] Furthermore, a second annular groove is provided at the bottom of the outer wall of the rotating rod, a first annular groove is provided at the top of the outer wall of the sleeve, and two limiting rings are installed on the inner wall of the sealing ring. The two limiting rings are respectively rotatably fitted into the first annular groove and the second annular groove.
[0008] Furthermore, an inner groove is provided inside the top of the sleeve, and a through-hole communicating with the inner groove is provided at the top of the sleeve. A motor is installed in the inner groove, and the output end of the motor passes through the through-hole and is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the rotating rod.
[0009] Furthermore, a semi-circular arc groove is provided at the top of the sleeve, and a limiting block located in the arc groove is fixedly installed at the bottom of the rotating rod. The center of the arc groove and the center of the opening are located on the same vertical axis.
[0010] Furthermore, a rod groove is provided at the top of the main rod, and a first hydraulic rod is fixedly installed in the rod groove. The telescopic end of the first hydraulic rod extends out of the rod groove and is fixedly connected to the center of the inner end of the sleeve. Limiting grooves are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the sleeve, and limiting plates located in the limiting grooves are installed on both sides of the main rod.
[0011] Furthermore, a rubber sleeve is fitted at the bottom of the main rod, and an anti-detachment handle is installed on the side of the rubber sleeve at the bottom of the main rod. A control button is also installed at the rubber sleeve at the bottom of the main rod, and the control button is electrically connected to the first hydraulic rod, the motor, the electric hot air blower, and the second hydraulic rod.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] This device adopts a telescopic handheld structure design. The main rod is movably sleeved on the outside, and the extension and retraction are controlled by the first hydraulic rod. The length of the cleaning device can be flexibly adjusted. It can easily reach into the tank for cleaning operations through inspection holes at different positions such as the observation hole on the top of the tank, the sampling port in the middle or the discharge port. This avoids the limitation of traditional cleaning tools that cannot reach specific positions, and greatly improves the comprehensiveness and convenience of cleaning.
[0014] The main rod is equipped with a control switch at the bottom, allowing operators to precisely control various functions of the device from outside the tank, including the rotation of the rotating rod, the angle adjustment of the mounting cover, and the start and stop of the electric hot air blower. This eliminates the need for personnel to enter the tank, avoiding adverse health effects on workers caused by prolonged exposure to odorous environments.
[0015] The electric hot air blower inside the enclosure generates high temperatures, which can effectively soften and melt the high-pour-point solidified grease adhering to the inner wall of the tank. The lighting provides sufficient illumination for the cleaning operation, making it easy for operators to clearly observe the distribution of dirt on the inner wall of the tank, enabling targeted cleaning and improving cleaning effectiveness and efficiency.
