Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of silicone foam processing and cleaning technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for silicone foam processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the early days, silicone foam processing relied heavily on manual cleaning. Workers would use brushes and cloths, along with simple cleaning solvents, to wipe the foam surface. However, this method was extremely inefficient and inadequate for large-scale production. Moreover, manual operation made it difficult to ensure even pressure, easily scratching the soft foam surface and affecting the product's appearance and performance. At the same time, due to subjective factors, cleaning standards were difficult to unify, resulting in inconsistent product quality. Subsequent simple mechanical cleaning equipment, such as fixed-nozzle spray devices, improved cleaning speed, but significant problems remained. The fixed nozzle position could not flexibly cover all parts of the complex shape of the foam, resulting in incomplete cleaning of corners and crevices, creating dead spots for stains. Furthermore, these devices lacked the ability to flip the foam over and process it from multiple angles, only able to complete a single-sided, single-pass cleaning, which could not meet the demand for comprehensive deep cleaning.

[0003] Existing equipment cannot guarantee a thorough rinsing of the foam surface, which may result in over- or under-rinsing in certain areas, creating cleaning blind spots. It is impossible to make targeted adjustments, leading to inconsistent cleanliness levels across different parts of the foam. Furthermore, manually turning the foam over is difficult to match perfectly with the rhythm of the cleaning equipment, resulting in a discontinuous cleaning process. Frequent interruptions reduce overall cleaning efficiency and affect the cleaning effect. Utility Model Content

The limiting guard plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed plate, and two L-shaped caliper strips are slidably connected inside the limiting guard plate. Sliding grooves are provided on the inner walls of both sides of the limiting guard plate, and sliders are provided on the outer sides of the two L-shaped caliper strips respectively.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the moving mechanism includes a moving rod, a limiter, a movable bar, a rotating protrusion, a rotating rod, and a rotary motor. The two rotating protrusions are fixedly connected to the opposite inner sides of the two partitions, and one side of the rotating protrusion passes through the partition.

One end of the moving rod is fixedly connected to one side of the telescopic mechanism.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the tipping mechanism includes an electric telescopic rod, a connecting rod, a rotating gear, a bucket, a rotating rod, and a movable block. The movable block is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom support base, the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the top of the movable block, two rotating rods are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the U-shaped fixed frame, and the two rotating rods pass through both sides of the U-shaped fixed frame. Four rotating gears are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the two rotating rods, the connecting rod is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating gear, and the other end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the electric telescopic rod.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a cleaning device for silicone foam processing, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This cleaning device for processing silicone foam involves placing the silicone foam to be cleaned above the surface of a conveyor rack. The control panel controls the telescopic and moving mechanisms, which move the rinsing spray gun to rinse the surface of the silicone foam. After passing through a U-shaped fixing frame, the control panel controls the flipping mechanism to flip the silicone foam and move it to another conveyor rack. The rinsing steps are repeated to clean the other side of the silicone foam. This allows for adjustment of the angle and position, and flexible movement of the rinsing spray gun to rinse the silicone foam. It can be targeted to clean according to the actual stains, avoiding unnecessary over-cleaning, reducing damage to the surface of the silicone foam and waste of cleaning solution. It allows for repeated rinsing of key stain areas. At the same time, it can be quickly adjusted to a suitable position for cleaning according to the size and shape of the foam, improving the versatility and practicality of the device.

[0015] 2. This cleaning device for processing silicone foam controls a rotating motor via a control panel, causing the worm gear to rotate and drive two L-shaped caliper strips. The L-shaped caliper strips slide inside the limiting guard plate, and the two support rods move to both ends, enabling the rinsing spray gun to rinse silicone foam of different sizes. This ensures that the rinsing spray gun evenly rinses the entire transverse area and can adapt to foams of different widths.

[0016] 3. This cleaning device for silicone foam processing controls a rotary motor via a control panel, causing a rotating protrusion to rotate. A rotating rod rotates around one end of the rotating protrusion, driving the movable bars on both sides to move back and forth within the limiter. This allows the telescopic mechanism at one end of the movable rod to move back and forth. Thus, when there are stubborn stains or special contamination in a certain longitudinal area of ​​the silicone foam, the rinsing spray gun can be flexibly moved longitudinally to that area for precise spot cleaning, effectively solving local contamination problems by effectively removing stains.

[0017] The parts of this device not covered herein are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This utility model has a simple structure and is easy to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or setting, a detachable connection or setting, or an integral connection or setting. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] A cleaning device for silicone foam processing, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, it includes a U-shaped fixing frame 8, with a bottom support base 7 fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped fixing frame 8, a flipping mechanism 5 fixedly connected to one side of the U-shaped fixing frame 8, a conveyor frame 1 fixedly connected to both sides inside the U-shaped fixing frame 8, partitions 4 fixedly connected to both sides of the conveyor frame 1, a telescopic mechanism 2 and a moving mechanism 3 fixedly connected to the opposite inner sides of the two partitions 4, a control panel 6 fixedly connected to one side of the U-shaped fixing frame 8, and two flushing spray guns 9 fixedly connected to the bottom of the telescopic mechanism 2.

[0028] During operation, the silicone foam to be cleaned is placed above the surface of the conveyor rack 1. The control panel 6 controls the telescopic mechanism 2 and the moving mechanism 3, which move the rinsing spray gun 9 to rinse the surface of the silicone foam. After passing through the U-shaped fixing frame 8, the control panel 6 controls the flipping mechanism 5 to flip the silicone foam and move it to another conveyor rack 1. The rinsing steps are repeated to clean the other side of the silicone foam. This allows for adjustment of the angle and position, and flexible movement of the rinsing spray gun 9 to rinse the silicone foam. It can be targeted to clean according to the actual stains, avoiding unnecessary over-cleaning, reducing damage to the surface of the silicone foam and waste of cleaning solution. It can repeatedly rinse key stain areas, and can also be quickly adjusted to a suitable position for cleaning according to the size and shape of the foam, improving the versatility and practicality of the device.

[0029] To ensure that the rinsing spray gun 9 can move flexibly in the lateral direction, such as Figure 3 As shown, the telescopic mechanism 2 includes a fixed plate 201, a support rod 202, L-shaped caliper strips 203, a worm gear 204, a rotating motor 205, and a limiting guard plate 206. The fixed plate 201 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving mechanism 3, the rotating motor 205 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 201, the worm gear 204 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating motor 205, and the worm gear 204 passes through the fixed plate 201. Two L-shaped caliper strips 203 are movably connected to both sides of the worm gear 204.

[0030] The support rod 202 is fixedly connected to one side of the L-shaped caliper strip 203, and the other end of the support rod 202 is fixedly connected to the flushing spray gun 9. The limiting guard plate 206 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 201, and two L-shaped caliper strips 203 are slidably connected inside the limiting guard plate 206. Sliding grooves are opened on both sides of the inner wall of the limiting guard plate 206, and sliders are opened on the outer sides of the two L-shaped caliper strips 203 respectively.

[0031] During operation, the control panel 6 controls the rotating motor 205 to rotate the worm gear 204, which drives the two L-shaped caliper strips 203. The L-shaped caliper strips 203 slide inside the limiting guard plate 206, and the two support rods 202 move to both ends, so that the rinsing spray gun 9 can rinse silicone foam of different sizes. This ensures that the rinsing spray gun 9 rinses the entire horizontal area evenly and can adapt to foam of different widths.

[0032] To ensure that the telescopic mechanism 2 can move flexibly in the longitudinal direction, such as Figure 4 As shown, the moving mechanism 3 includes a moving rod 301, a limiter 302, a movable bar 303, a rotating protrusion 304, a rotating rod 305, and a rotary motor 306. The two rotating protrusions 304 are fixedly connected to the opposite inner sides of the two partitions 4, and one side of the rotating protrusion 304 passes through the partition 4. The end of the rotating protrusion 304 that passes through the partition 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotary motor 306. The movable bar 303 is movably connected to one side of the rotating protrusion 304.

[0033] The rotating rod 305 is fixedly connected to the inner sides of the two movable bars 303, and the rotating rod 305 passes through the movable bars 303 and the rotating protrusion 304. One end of the moving rod 301 is movably connected to one side of the movable bar 303. The limiter 302 is fixedly connected to one side of the partition 4, and the moving rod 301 is slidably connected inside the limiter 302. One end of the moving rod 301 is fixedly connected to one side of the telescopic mechanism 2.

[0034] During operation, the rotary motor 306 is controlled via the control panel 6 to rotate the rotating protrusion 304. The rotating rod 305 rotates around one end of the rotating protrusion 304 as the axis, driving the movable bars 303 on both sides to move the moving rod 301 back and forth inside the limiter 302. Thus, the telescopic mechanism 2 at one end of the moving rod 301 can move back and forth. Therefore, when there are stubborn stains or special contamination in a certain area of ​​the silicone foam, the rinsing spray gun 9 can be flexibly moved longitudinally to that area for precise spot cleaning, effectively solving the problem of local contamination by removing stains.

[0035] To ensure thorough cleaning of both sides of the silicone foam, such as Figure 5As shown, the tilting mechanism 5 includes an electric telescopic rod 501, a connecting rod 502, a rotating gear 503, a bucket 504, a rotating rod 505, and a movable block 506. The movable block 506 is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom support 7. The electric telescopic rod 501 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable block 506. Two rotating rods 505 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both sides of the U-shaped fixed frame 8, and the two rotating rods 505 pass through both sides of the U-shaped fixed frame 8. Four rotating gears 503 are fixedly connected to both sides of the two rotating rods 505 respectively. The connecting rod 502 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating gear 503, and the other end of the connecting rod 502 is fixedly connected to the top of the electric telescopic rod 501.

[0036] During operation, the electric telescopic rod 501 is retracted via the control panel 6, which increases the opening angle of the connecting rod 502, driving the four rotating gears 503 to rotate. This causes the two rotating rods 505 to rotate in the same direction, resulting in the bucket 504 rotating around the rotating rods 505. This transfers the silicone foam inside the bucket 504 to the top of another conveyor frame 1, thus avoiding the need for manual turning of the silicone foam for secondary cleaning, effectively saving time, and improving the continuity of cleaning and overall production efficiency.

[0037] Working principle: By placing the silicone foam to be cleaned above the surface of the conveyor rack 1, the control panel 6 controls the rotating motor 205 to rotate the worm gear 204, which drives two L-shaped caliper strips 203 to slide inside the limiting guard plate 206. The two support rods 202 move to both ends, allowing the rinsing spray gun 9 to rinse silicone foam of different sizes. The control panel 6 controls the rotating motor 306 to rotate the rotating protrusion 304. The rotating rod 305 rotates around one end of the rotating protrusion 304, driving the movable strips 303 on both sides, so that the moving rod 301 moves inside the limiter 302. The back-and-forth movement allows the telescopic mechanism 2 at one end of the movable rod 301 to move back and forth, driving the washing spray gun 9 to move and wash the surface of the silicone foam. After passing through the U-shaped fixing frame 8, the electric telescopic rod 501 is retracted through the control panel 6, which increases the opening angle of the connecting rod 502, driving the four rotating gears 503 to rotate, causing the two rotating rods 505 to rotate in the same direction. As a result, the bucket 504 rotates around the rotating rods 505 as the center, transferring the silicone foam inside the bucket 504 to the top of another conveyor frame 1. The silicone foam is then flipped over and moved to the top of the other conveyor frame 1, and the washing steps are repeated to clean the other side of the silicone foam.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
