[0036] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, further illustrating the present invention.
[0037] First, combine Figures 1-7 This invention describes a loading door structure for top loading of materials in an industrial washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is used for washing linens and has a wide range of applications.
[0038] like Figures 1-7 As shown in the figure, a loading door structure for top loading of an industrial washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention has two support seats 100, a rotating shaft 200, a drive assembly, a loading hopper 400, a pair of cover plates 500 and a control assembly.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, two support bases 100 are provided on the top sides of the external industrial washing machine 1 to support the rotating shaft 200.
[0040] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the rotating shaft 200 is rotatably disposed between the two support seats 100.
[0041] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the drive assembly is connected to the rotating shaft 200 and is used to drive the rotating shaft 200 to rotate. The drive assembly includes: a mounting base 301, a driver 302, a first connecting rod 303, and a second connecting rod 304. The driver 302 is mounted on the mounting base 301 and provides the driving force for extension and retraction; the driver 302 can be a cylinder. One end of the first connecting rod 303 is connected to the output end of the driver 302; one end of the second connecting rod 304 is hinged to the other end of the first connecting rod 303, and the other end of the second connecting rod 304 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 200. By controlling the operation of the driver 302, the driver 302 can move the first connecting rod 303 forward or backward, thereby driving the second connecting rod 304 to move, causing the rotating shaft 200 to rotate forward or backward.
[0042] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the loading bucket 400 is fixed on the rotating shaft 200. As the rotating shaft 200 rotates, there are two states, such as... Figure 6 As shown, the door is open and clothes are being retrieved. Figure 7 As shown, the clothes are loaded at the door; the top of the loading hopper 400 is equipped with an inlet and the right side is equipped with an outlet; the linens to be washed enter through the inlet and are discharged into the washing machine 1 through the outlet.
[0043] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, a pair of cover plates 500 are hinged to the top sides of the loading hopper 400 to cover the top of the loading hopper 400 and to seal the feed inlet.
[0044] Specifically, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, a control assembly connects a pair of cover plates 500 and a loading hopper 400, and is used to control the opening and closing states of the pair of cover plates 500. The control assembly includes: a pair of transmission components 601, a pair of first cylinders 602, and a pair of second cylinders 603. The pair of transmission components 601 are respectively connected to the pair of cover plates 500; the fixed ends of the pair of first cylinders 602 are respectively hinged to the front and rear surfaces of the loading hopper 400, and the output ends of the pair of first cylinders 602 are respectively hinged to both ends of one of the transmission components 601; the fixed ends of the pair of second cylinders 603 are respectively hinged to the front and rear surfaces of the loading hopper 400, and the output ends of the pair of second cylinders 603 are respectively hinged to both ends of the other transmission component 601. By controlling the operation of the pair of first cylinders 602 and the pair of second cylinders 603, power is transmitted to the pair of cover plates 500 through the pair of transmission components 601, thereby achieving the opening and closing control of the pair of cover plates 500.
[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the loading door structure of the top loading of an industrial washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes: a water inlet 701, which is disposed on the top of the loading hopper 400 and is used to inject water into the loading hopper 400 so that the clothes placed in the loading hopper 400 can slide out from the discharge port.
[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the loading door structure for top loading of an industrial washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes: an observation window 702, which is opened on the loading hopper 400 and is used to observe the situation inside the loading hopper 400.
[0047] Furthermore, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the loading door structure for top loading of an industrial washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes: a sealing sleeve 703, which is disposed at the discharge port of the loading hopper 400 and is used to seal the connection between the loading hopper 400 and the washing machine 1.
[0048] Working principle:
[0049] When clothes are loaded, the control unit operates, causing a pair of covers 500 to open. An external conveyor transports the clothes to be washed to the inlet of the loading hopper 400, where they circulate and are discharged into the washing machine 1 through the outlet. Then, the pair of covers 500 are closed, and the clothes are washed.
[0050] When the clothes are taken out, the drive unit runs, driving the rotating shaft 200 to rotate, causing the loading hopper 400 to flip upward and disengage from the dispensing port of the washing machine 1. After the loading hopper 400 has flipped, the washed clothes in the washing machine 1 are taken out. Then the drive unit runs again, driving the rotating shaft 200 to rotate in the opposite direction, causing the loading hopper 400 to flip downward and contact the dispensing port of the washing machine 1 to seal, waiting for the next washing task.
[0051] As described above, the loading door structure for top loading of an industrial washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0052] 1. Top loading reduces the amount of horizontal space required;
[0053] 2. The top cover 500 opens automatically. Simply transport the linens to the inlet of the loading hopper 400 via an external conveyor. The linens will then be automatically discharged into the washing machine 1 through the outlet of the loading hopper 400. No manual feeding is required, thus improving efficiency.
[0054] 3. After washing, the loading hopper 400 automatically flips upwards to facilitate the removal of linens from the feeding port of washing machine 1.
[0055] The above combined with the appendix Figures 1-7 A loading door structure for top loading of an industrial washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention is described. Furthermore, the present invention can also be applied to an industrial washing machine.
[0056] like Figures 4-6As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, an industrial washing machine 1 is provided, which includes a loading door structure 2 for loading materials at the top of the industrial washing machine of the previous embodiment, thereby improving efficiency without the need for manual loading.
