AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, unstable water quality and quantity during glass cleaning result in poor cleaning performance. A fixed amount of cleaning agent cannot adapt to changes in water quality and quantity, leading to either too little or too much agent being added, which affects the cleaning effect.
By employing a pH detection structure and a metering pump structure, the amount of cleaning agent added is controlled by detecting the pH value of the water inside the cleaning machine, thus achieving precise control of the pH value of the cleaning agent and water mixture. Combined with intelligent control components and an electromagnetic diaphragm metering pump, the cleaning agent is quantitatively added and evenly distributed.
It enables precise cleaning based on the quantity and size of glass, improving cleaning results, avoiding problems such as waste of chemicals and incomplete cleaning, and enhancing the automation and ease of operation of the cleaning machine.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of glass cleaning, and more particularly to a glass cleaning machine. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in the cleaning processes of photovoltaic, cover glass, and crystal products, cleaning agents need to be added to clean the glass surface to ensure that the glass surface is clean and free of contamination, so as to facilitate subsequent coating processes.
[0003] When cleaning different batches of glass, it is necessary to change the water inside the cleaning machine and add new cleaning agent to mix with the water to clean the glass.
[0004] In existing technologies, the dosage of cleaning agent is fixed, suitable for cleaning equipment operating with stable water quality and quantity. However, the dosing of cleaning equipment cannot be adjusted in real time according to changes in water quality and quantity. Furthermore, because the dosage is fixed, the control of the final target indicators is inaccurate, easily leading to under- or over-dosing of the agent. Actual water quality, quantity, and pH value fluctuate greatly, and the fixed dosage differs significantly from the actual required amount of agent, resulting in poor cleaning effect, as shown in CN117086021A. Utility Model Content

[0031] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, they should be considered part of the specification.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the glass cleaning machine disclosed in Embodiment 1 of this application includes: a main cleaning machine assembly 10, a detection assembly 20, and a container assembly 30. The main cleaning machine assembly 10 has a first inlet structure 11, which is connected to a water source. The detection assembly 20 includes a pH detection structure 21, which is disposed inside the main cleaning machine assembly 10. The container assembly 30 includes a container structure 31 and an outlet pipe 32. The first end of the outlet pipe 32 is connected to the container structure 31, and the second end of the outlet pipe 32 is connected to the main cleaning machine assembly 10. The container structure 31 contains cleaning agent.
[0033] Applying the technical solution of Embodiment 1, water is added to the main assembly 10 of the cleaning machine through the first inlet structure 11 according to the quantity and size of the glass. The pH detection structure 21 detects the pH value of the water inside the main assembly 10. The cleaning agent contained in the receiving tank structure 31 enters the main assembly 10 of the cleaning machine through the outlet pipe 32 and mixes with the water until the pH detection structure 21 detects that the pH value meets the requirements, at which point the addition of cleaning agent is stopped. The technical solution of Embodiment 1 effectively solves the problem of poor cleaning effect caused by unstable water quality and quantity during the glass cleaning process in the prior art.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the container assembly 30 further includes a metering pump structure 33, which is disposed on the outlet pipe 32. The main cleaning machine assembly 10 has a second inlet structure 12, which is connected to the second end of the outlet pipe 32. Under the action of the metering pump structure 33, the cleaning agent flows into the main cleaning machine assembly through the outlet pipe 32 and the second inlet structure 12. The metering pump structure 33 is used to quantitatively control the volume of cleaning agent entering the main cleaning machine assembly 10, thereby achieving precise control of the pH value of the mixture of cleaning agent and water inside the main cleaning machine assembly 10, thus achieving a better cleaning effect.
[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the glass cleaning machine further includes a control component 40, a pH detection structure 21 connected to the control component 40, and a metering pump structure 33 connected to the control component 40. The connection between the control component 40 and the pH detection structure 21 includes electrical and signal connections, and the connection between the control component 40 and the metering pump structure 33 includes point and signal connections. The pH detection structure 21 transmits the measured pH value to the control component 40 via a signal. The control component 40 calculates the volume of cleaning agent to be added based on the pH value of the cleaning agent and the optimal pH value during cleaning, and controls the opening time of the metering pump structure 33 to achieve quantitative addition of cleaning agent and control the pH value of the liquid inside the glass cleaning machine. It should be noted that during the cleaning process, the control component 40 and the pH detection structure 21 remain in the open state to monitor the pH value in real time, preventing the cleaning agent from reacting with contaminants on the glass surface and becoming ineffective, thus avoiding the problem of unclean glass in other areas.
[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, a valve is provided on the first inlet structure 11, and the valve is connected to the control component 40. The first inlet structure 11 is connected to the water inlet pipe, and a water pump is provided on the water inlet pipe. When the valve is opened, water enters the glass cleaning machine under the action of the water pump. A drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the main body component 10 of the cleaning machine. After the glass cleaning is completed, the drain outlet opens to discharge the dirty liquid out of the main body component 10 of the cleaning machine.
[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the container assembly 30 is made of polyethylene material. Polyethylene material is relatively stable and will not react with the cleaning agent to cause corrosion. Furthermore, polyethylene material is semi-transparent, making it easy for workers to observe the cleaning agent volume and replenish it in a timely manner. Grooves are machined on the outer wall of the container assembly 30 to facilitate handling or gripping by workers. The inner wall of the container assembly 30 is cylindrical, facilitating cleaning when changing to different types of cleaning agents and preventing cleaning agent residue.
[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the technical solution of Embodiment 1, the container assembly 30 further includes a liquid level detection structure 34, which is connected to the inner wall of the container structure 31. The liquid level detection structure 34 is used to detect the cleaning agent level in the container structure 31. The control assembly 40 and the liquid level detection structure 34 are connected by signal and electrical connections. The liquid level detection structure 34 transmits the liquid level height to the control assembly 40 via signal. When the liquid level height is lower than a preset value, the control assembly 40 issues an alarm to prompt the operator to add cleaning agent.
[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the difference between the technical solution of Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the main component 10 of the cleaning machine includes a main structure 13 and multiple limiting protrusions 14. The multiple limiting protrusions 14 are connected to the inner wall of the main structure 13, and there is a predetermined gap between adjacent limiting protrusions 14. The glass side is disposed between adjacent limiting protrusions 14. The multiple limiting protrusions 14 are respectively disposed on both sides inside the main structure 13 of the cleaning machine, and are correspondingly arranged, so as to simultaneously limit the two sides of the glass plate, preventing the glass plate from sliding during the cleaning process, causing adjacent glass plates to collide and break. The pH detection structure 21 is connected to the inner wall of the main structure 13 of the cleaning machine, and the inner wall is not connected to the limiting protrusions 14. The distance between the pH detection structure 21 and the two side walls connected to the limiting protrusions 14 is consistent, thereby realizing pH monitoring at the position far away from the second inlet structure 12, further ensuring the glass cleaning effect at all locations. The detection component 20 also includes a temperature detection structure 22, which is used to detect the internal temperature of the main component 10 of the cleaning machine. Generally, the cleaning agent is more active when the temperature is higher than room temperature. Different cleaning agents have different optimal reaction temperatures. The setting of the temperature detection structure 22 makes it convenient for the staff to detect the temperature inside the main component 10 of the cleaning machine. The bottom of the main component 13 of the cleaning machine is equipped with an electric heating wire, which can heat the inside of the main component 13 of the cleaning machine by electric heating to improve cleaning efficiency.
[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the difference between the technical solution of Embodiment 2 and the technical solution of Embodiment 1 is that the multiple second inlet structures 12 are respectively opened in different limiting protrusions 14. Setting the second inlet structures 12 on the limiting protrusions 14 facilitates the direct entry of the cleaning agent between adjacent glass plates, allowing the cleaning agent to directly contact the glass surface and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the difference between the technical solution of Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that the second end of the outlet pipe 32 has multiple branches 321, which are connected to the second inlet structure 12. These multiple branches 321 are respectively connected to multiple second inlet structures 12, ensuring that cleaning agent enters all of them, further guaranteeing uniform distribution of the cleaning agent and improving the cleaning effect on the glass. To ensure that cleaning agent enters multiple second inlet structures 12 simultaneously as much as possible, the receiving tank assembly 30 can be provided with multiple units, each with a corresponding metering pump structure 33 and outlet pipe 32, thereby reducing the load on a single metering pump structure 33 and making its operation more stable.
[0042] The difference between the technical solution of Embodiment 3 and that of Embodiment 1 is that the second inlet structure 12 includes multiple second inlet structures 12, which are arranged circumferentially along the main body assembly 10 of the cleaning machine. The arrangement of multiple second inlet structures 12 facilitates the uniform distribution of cleaning agent inside the main body assembly 10 of the cleaning machine, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the glass surface.
[0043] In summary, the technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is as follows: This application belongs to the automatic detergent addition system for cleaning machines, specifically referring to an automatic agent addition device that can be widely used in cleaning and water treatment systems in various industries such as chemical, environmental, and biological industries. The control method includes: an intelligent control box (control component 40), an electromagnetic diaphragm metering pump (metering pump structure 33), a detergent addition tank (container tank structure 31), a low liquid level alarm device (liquid level detection structure 34), and an intelligent online pH controller (pH detection structure 21). The intelligent control box is the control and command center of the entire detergent addition system, coordinating the work of all components of the system. It uses a two-way output time-controlled switch. It controls the opening and closing of the dosing pump (metering pump structure 33) online; it controls the remaining amount of detergent in the dosing system tank online, and provides an alarm signal when a low liquid level occurs. The electromagnetic diaphragm metering pump: when the intelligent control reaches the preset initial time value, the metering pump opens and begins dosing; when the time reaches the end value, the metering pump closes and stops dosing. The electromagnetic diaphragm metering pump is an imported component, offering stable performance, accurate and uniform dosing, corrosion resistance, excellent sealing, small size, and high metering accuracy. Both the dosing rate and output pressure can be adjusted according to actual site requirements. The dosing tank, a round container for water treatment chemicals, is made of PE (polyethylene) material, ensuring it won't become brittle or break, and has a service life exceeding 10 years. Designed for automatic dosing, its semi-transparent material allows for easy observation of the remaining chemical level. The high rigidity of the tank cover (container structure 31) provides sufficient support and space for installing the metering pump, low-level alarm device, and liquid mixer. The dosing tank has a fixed volume. The low-level alarm device alerts personnel to replenish chemicals when the remaining level approaches its limit, preventing abnormal tank levels. The electric drain valve: The intelligent control system signals when water quality deteriorates, opening the drain valve to drain water. Once water quality returns to normal, it signals again to close the drain solenoid valve, stopping drainage. Electric drain valves effectively control the concentration ratio of the circulating water system. Intelligent online pH controller: Because adding chemicals solely based on makeup water may introduce deviations, we can pre-set the pH value of the circulating water system. If the system pH differs from the pre-set value after adding chemicals, it indicates that the dosage added by the dosing pump based on the makeup water signal is insufficient. In this case, the control system (control component 40) will issue another dosing command to activate the dosing pump. Once the pH value reaches the set value, the control system will issue another command to shut down the dosing pump. The pH control instrument primarily regulates the dosage of chemicals added by the dosing pump during dosing.Technical Problem Solved: This application provides an automatic dosing device that is easy to install, highly automated, simple to operate, and allows for precise adjustment of the dosage, avoiding unnecessary waste of chemicals. The automatic dosing device includes: an intelligent control box, an electromagnetic diaphragm metering pump, a dosing tank, a low-level alarm device, an electric drain valve, and an intelligent online pH controller. Drawings and Brief Description: The following description of this utility model is based on the drawings. This device includes: an intelligent control box, an electromagnetic diaphragm metering pump, a dosing tank, a low-level alarm device, an electric drain valve (drain outlet), and an intelligent online pH controller. This automatic dosing device has a reasonable structure, effectively improves efficiency, ensures reliable operation, and reduces manpower. The equipment has both manual and automatic operation modes. When the switch on the control panel is in manual mode, the metering pump switch needs to be operated manually. When the switch on the control panel is in automatic mode, the metering pump needs to be turned off. During equipment drainage, the metering pump will automatically stop dosing to prevent chemical loss. Each piece of equipment has its own operating indicator light and a water level alarm device. It is safely and reliably grounded. pH display value. Equipment maintenance: When the equipment is not in use, please drain the liquid in the tank through the vent to avoid problems caused by reagent deterioration; check the metering pump regularly and check if the lubricating oil needs to be added.
