Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of suction cup technology, and in particular to an automatic cleaning suction cup structure. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of plastic products, the cleaning and maintenance of blister packs is crucial as they are commonly used for carrying and handling.

[0003] Currently, most cleaning equipment for plastic vacuum trays on the market uses a relatively traditional cleaning method. Generally, the vacuum tray is placed horizontally on a conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt moves the tray under a rinsing device, where water jets from the rinsing device wash it. While this method can clean the surface of the vacuum tray to some extent, the special design of the vacuum tray, which typically has numerous grooves for holding items, leaves a significant amount of cleaning liquid residue after the tray is rinsed. The unique structure of these grooves makes natural drainage ineffective in removing the accumulated water, and the equipment cannot automatically handle this water. To meet the requirements of subsequent drying, manual removal of the water from the grooves is necessary. This not only consumes a lot of manpower and time, reducing production efficiency, but also may result in inconsistent manual operation, leading to poor cleaning and drying of some vacuum trays, affecting product quality and subsequent use, and ultimately limiting the automation and efficiency of the entire production process. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic cleaning suction cup structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution, which includes a cleaning bucket, wherein mounting frames are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the cleaning bucket, wherein a sliding groove is provided on the inner wall of the support on one side of the upper mounting frame, and a driving component is provided in each mounting frame, wherein a feeding and water-spraying component is driven and connected to the upper driving component, and a cleaning component is driven and connected to the lower driving component.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the drive assembly includes a first motor mounted on a mounting frame, the transmission end of the first motor being provided with a lead screw, and the lead screw being movably mounted within the mounting frame via a pair of first bearing seats.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the material feeding and water-spraying assembly includes a cover plate. A driving component is provided on one side of the cover plate. The driving component is fitted onto the outside of the upper lead screw. A nut is provided inside the driving component. The nut is threaded onto the lead screw. A connecting rod is provided on the other side of the cover plate. A slider is provided at the top of the connecting rod. The slider is located in a groove. A rotating roller is movably mounted on the bottom of the cover plate via a second bearing seat. A fixing frame is provided on the top of the cover plate. A second motor is mounted on the top of the fixing frame. The transmission end of the second motor is connected to the top of the rotating roller via a coupling. Several material feeding frames are provided on the wall of the rotating roller.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the bottom of the cleaning bucket is provided with several sliding sleeves, and the bottom of the cleaning bucket is also provided with several drainage holes.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the cleaning assembly includes a water delivery tray, a driving component 2 is provided on one side of the water delivery tray, the driving component 2 is sleeved on the outside of the lower lead screw, a nut 2 is provided inside the driving component 2, the nut 2 is threaded on the lead screw, several water guide tubes are provided on the top of the water delivery tray 1 and communicate with it, the several water guide tubes are movably arranged in a sliding sleeve, and the top of the several water guide tubes is simultaneously provided with the water delivery tray 2, several mounting slots corresponding to the material feeding frame are opened on the water delivery tray 2, an array of inclined nozzles are provided on the top of the water delivery tray 2, each array of inclined nozzles is respectively arranged on both sides of the mounting slot, and a brush roller is provided on the inner wall of each mounting slot. The cleaning assembly also includes a pump body arranged on the lower mounting frame, the input end of the pump body is connected to the cleaning liquid tank, and a hose is provided on the output end of the pump body, the other end of the hose is located at the bottom of the water delivery tray 1 and is connected to the water delivery tray 1.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0011] After cleaning is completed, the second motor is started to drive the roller to rotate at high speed. Centrifugal force is used to shake off the cleaning liquid temporarily left on the suction plastic tray. In particular, it can effectively remove residual liquid in the groove, avoiding the trouble of manually shaking off water in the traditional method. It solves the problems of low efficiency and inconsistent results of manual operation, and provides good conditions for subsequent drying treatment, ensuring drying effect and improving product quality.

[0012] This invention uses a pump to draw cleaning fluid from a storage tank, which then flows through a first water delivery tray and a water guide pipe to a second water delivery tray. The fluid is then sprayed from an angled nozzle, impacting both sides of the suction plastic tray for initial rinsing. The lower drive assembly moves the first water delivery tray upwards, causing the second water delivery tray and the brush roller to move accordingly, performing a secondary scrubbing of the suction plastic tray. Simultaneously, the controller controls the motor to rotate forward and backward, causing the cleaning components to move up and down repeatedly. This allows for comprehensive cleaning of all parts of the suction plastic tray, including the surface and storage grooves, achieving a cleaning effect far exceeding that of traditional cleaning methods that rely solely on rinsing devices.

[0013] The entire cleaning process of this utility model, from placing the plastic suction tray to cleaning, dewatering, and removal, is mostly completed automatically by motors, controllers, and pumps. For example, the second motor is started by the control button, which drives the roller to rotate so that the feeding frame is aligned with the installation slot; the controller controls the first motor to drive the lead screw to rotate, which drives the cover plate, water delivery tray, and other components to move. There is no need for frequent manual intervention, which greatly saves labor costs, improves production efficiency, and helps to realize the automated operation of the production line.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

[0024] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the present invention proposes an automatic cleaning suction plastic tray structure, which includes a cleaning bucket 1. The cleaning bucket 1 has mounting brackets 10 symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides. The inner wall of the support on one side of the upper mounting bracket 10 is machined with a sliding groove 13 for sliding connection of subsequent components. Each mounting bracket 10 is equipped with a drive component 2. The upper drive component 2 is driven to connect with the material feeding and water-spraying component 3, and the lower drive component 2 is driven to connect with the cleaning component 4.

[0025] The drive assembly 2 includes a first motor 20 mounted on the mounting bracket 10. The transmission end of the first motor 20 is directly connected to the lead screw 21. The lead screw 21 is movably mounted in the mounting bracket 10 through a pair of first bearing seats 22. The first bearing seats 22 can reduce the friction when the lead screw 21 rotates, ensuring that the lead screw 21 rotates stably.

[0026] The main body of the material feeding and water-spraying assembly 3 is a cover plate 30. A driving component 38 is provided on one side of the cover plate 30. The driving component 38 is a sleeve-like structure that is sleeved on the outside of the upper lead screw 21. A nut 39 is provided inside the drive component 38, which is threadedly connected to the lead screw 21. Thus, when the lead screw 21 rotates, the driving component 38 can move linearly along the lead screw 21. A connecting rod 36 is installed on the other side of the cover plate 30. A slider 37 is fixed to the top of the connecting rod 36. The slider 37 can move within a groove 13 on the inner wall of the upper mounting bracket 10. The sliding mechanism serves to guide and stabilize the cover plate 30. The bottom of the cover plate 30 is movably mounted with a rotating roller 33 via a second bearing seat 32, ensuring that the rotating roller 33 can rotate freely. A fixing frame 31 is fixed to the top of the cover plate 30, and a second motor 310 is mounted on the top of the fixing frame 31. The transmission end of the second motor 310 is connected to the top of the rotating roller 33 via a coupling 34, so that the second motor 310 can drive the rotating roller 33 to rotate. Several material feeding frames 35 are evenly distributed on the wall of the rotating roller 33 for placing the plastic suction tray to be cleaned.

[0027] The bottom of the cleaning bucket 1 is equipped with several sliding sleeves 11 and several drain holes 12. The sliding sleeves 11 are used to cooperate with the water guide tube 49 in the cleaning assembly 4, and the drain holes 12 facilitate the flow of liquid during the cleaning process.

[0028] The main component of the cleaning assembly 4 is a water supply tray 40. A driving component 45 is located on one side of the water supply tray 40. The driving component 45 is sleeved on the outside of the lead screw 21 below, and has a nut 46 inside. The nut 46 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 21, enabling the driving component 45 to move linearly when the lead screw 21 rotates. Several water guide pipes 49 are connected to the top of the water supply tray 40 and communicate with its interior. These water guide pipes 49 are movably inserted into the sliding sleeve 11 at the bottom of the cleaning tank 1, providing support and guidance. The tops of the several water guide pipes 49 are connected to the water supply tray 41. Several openings are provided on the water supply tray 41. The mounting slot 42 corresponding to the position of the material feeding frame 35 is used to place the material feeding frame 35 for easy cleaning. The top of the water supply tray 41 is provided with an array of oblique nozzles 43 on both sides of each mounting slot 42 for spraying cleaning liquid. Each mounting slot 42 is also equipped with a brush roller 44 for brushing the plastic suction tray. In addition, the cleaning assembly 4 also includes a pump body 47 mounted on the lower mounting frame 10. The input end of the pump body 47 is connected to the cleaning liquid tank through a pipe, and the output end is connected to a hose 48. The other end of the hose 48 is connected to the bottom of the water supply tray 40 and communicates with the inside of the water supply tray 40 to realize the delivery of cleaning liquid.

[0029] When using this equipment to clean the plastic suction trays, first, place the plastic suction trays that need to be cleaned one by one into several material feeding frames 35. After placement, start the second motor 310 through the control button on the equipment control panel. After the motor is powered on, it starts to rotate, driving the rotating roller 33 to rotate together. Driven by the rotating roller 33, the material feeding frames 35 move slowly until the several material feeding frames 35 are aligned with the several mounting slots 42 on the water conveying tray 41.

[0030] Next, the controller starts the first motor 20 of the upper drive component 2. After receiving the command, the motor starts to run. The output shaft of the motor drives the lead screw 21 to rotate. During the rotation, the lead screw 21 cooperates with the lead screw nut 39. The lead screw nut 39 converts the rotational motion of the lead screw 21 into linear motion. Thus, the drive component 38, driven by the lead screw nut 39, smoothly drives the cover plate 30 to move downward until the cover plate 30 is completely and tightly pressed against the top of the cleaning bucket 1.

[0031] Then, the pump body 47 is started and begins to work, drawing out the cleaning liquid from the cleaning liquid storage tank and delivering it to the water delivery tray 40 through the hose 48, distributing the cleaning liquid evenly, and then delivering it to the water delivery tray 41 through the water guide pipe 49. Finally, the cleaning liquid is sprayed out from several angled nozzles 43 distributed on the water delivery tray 41. The cleaning liquid impacts both sides of the suction plastic tray at a certain angle and pressure, initially removing the dirt on the surface of the suction plastic tray.

[0032] Next, the first motor 20 of the lower drive assembly 2 is started. After the first motor 20 starts running, it drives the lead screw 21 to rotate. The lead screw 21 and the second lead screw nut 46 cooperate with each other. The second lead screw nut 46 moves upward along the thread direction of the lead screw 21, thereby driving the second drive component 45 to move upward. The rise of the second drive component 45 drives the first water tray 40 to move upward. Several water guide pipes 49 connected between the first water tray 40 and the second water tray 41 also move upward, pushing the second water tray 41 to move upward. During the upward movement of the second water tray 41, the brush roller 44 in the mounting groove 42 will contact the suction plastic tray and perform a second brushing on the area that has just been rinsed by the cleaning liquid to further remove stubborn stains. During the entire cleaning process, the controller will control the first motor 20 to reciprocate forward and reverse according to the preset program, thereby enabling the cleaning assembly 4 to move up and down in the vertical direction to achieve comprehensive and meticulous cleaning of all parts of the suction plastic tray.

[0033] After cleaning is completed, the water delivery tray 21 needs to be lowered. The controller sends a reverse rotation command to the first motor 20 of the drive component 2 below. The motor reverses and drives the lead screw 21 to rotate in the opposite direction. With the cooperation of the lead screw nut 26, the water delivery tray 21 slowly descends along the water guide support pipe 49 until the several material discharge frames 35 are located outside the mounting groove 42.

[0034] Then the second motor 310 can be started. The second motor 310 runs again, driving the rotating roller 33 to rotate quickly. The rotating roller 33 generates centrifugal force during rotation, which quickly shakes off the cleaning liquid temporarily left on the plastic suction tray. After the water-spinning operation is completed, simply reverse the first motor 20 of the upper drive component 2. The motor reverses and drives the lead screw 21 to rotate in the opposite direction. The lead screw nut 39 moves in coordination with the lead screw 21, so that the material-placing water-spinning component 3 can be smoothly moved out of the cleaning tank 1. Finally, the operator can easily take out the plastic suction tray and send it to the drying device for further drying.
