[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. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides an intelligent steamer with cleaning function, comprising a cabinet body 1, an exhaust pipe 11 on the top of the cabinet body 1, a groove on the bottom of the cabinet body 1, a drain hole 2 at the rear end of the groove, a discharge pipe 3 at the rear end of the drain hole 2, and a valve on the discharge pipe 3.
[0026] The cabinet 1 is provided with a diversion pipe 4 inside, and a transfer pipe 10 is provided on the diversion pipe 4. Multiple water outlet holes are provided on the outside of the diversion pipe 4. A positioning seat 5 is provided in the middle part of the diversion pipe 4. A motor 6 is provided at the upper end of the cabinet 1. A threaded rod 7 is provided at the output end of the motor 6, which passes through the positioning seat 5 and is threadedly connected to the positioning seat 5.
[0027] A first scraper rod 13 is provided above the diversion pipe 4, and a second scraper rod 12 is provided at both ends of the first scraper rod 13. Both the first scraper rod 13 and the second scraper rod 12 are provided with scraper pads 16 that fit against the inner wall of the cabinet 1.
[0028] Cleaning solution injection and rinsing stage: When cleaning cabinet 1 is required, first open the cabinet door and remove the steam rack. Then, connect the adapter pipe 10 to the external water supply equipment through a conduit and start the water pump. At this time, the cleaning solution, under the action of the water pump, flows into the adapter pipe 10 through the conduit and then into the diversion pipe 4. Multiple water outlets on the outside of the diversion pipe 4 spray the cleaning solution onto the inner wall of cabinet 1, thereby achieving initial rinsing of the inner wall of cabinet 1, softening and washing away some dust and dirt.
[0029] Mechanically assisted cleaning stage: Motor 6 is started. Since the threaded rod 7 at the output end of motor 6 passes through and is threadedly connected to the positioning seat 5, when motor 6 runs, the threaded rod 7 rotates, driving the positioning seat 5 and the connected diversion pipe 4 to move along the axial direction of the threaded rod 7. During the descent of the diversion pipe 4, the first scraper rod 13 fixed above the diversion pipe 4 and the second scraper rods 12 at both ends descend accordingly. Scraping pads 16, which adhere to the inner wall of the cabinet 1, are attached to both the first scraper rod 13 and the second scraper rod 12. During descent, the scraper pads 16 fully contact the inner wall of the cabinet 1, further scraping away any remaining dirt after rinsing, making the cleaning more thorough. They also remove residual liquid from the inner wall of the cabinet 1, improving the cleaning effect.
[0030] A fixing block 8 is provided at the corner of the diversion pipe 4, and a guide rod 9 is vertically arranged inside the cabinet 1, passing through the fixing block 8, and the fixing block 8 and the guide rod 9 are slidably connected.
[0031] The fixing block 8 at the corner of the diversion pipe 4 is slidably connected to the guide rod 9 vertically set inside the cabinet 1. During the lifting and lowering of the diversion pipe 4, the guide rod 9 plays a guiding and stabilizing role, ensuring that the diversion pipe 4 lifts and lowers smoothly, avoiding shaking, and ensuring the stability and consistency of the scraping operation.
[0032] Wastewater discharge stage: After cleaning is completed, open the valve on the discharge pipe 3. The wastewater generated by rinsing and scraping will flow into the discharge pipe 3 through the drain hole 2 at the rear end of the bottom groove of the cabinet 1 under the action of gravity, and finally be discharged to the designated location, completing the entire cleaning process.
[0033] The fixing block 8 at the corner of the diversion pipe 4 is slidably connected to the guide rod 9, which ensures the stability of the diversion pipe 4 during the lifting process, so that the scraping operation can be carried out stably and avoids incomplete cleaning or damage to the cabinet 1 due to shaking.
[0034] The second scraper rod 12 is fixed to both ends of the first scraper rod 13 by screws. The upper end of the diversion pipe 4 is provided with multiple support rods 15. The inner side of the second scraper rod 12 is provided with multiple limiting blocks 14. The limiting blocks 14 are fixed to the upper end of the support rods 15 by screws.
[0035] The scraper pad 16 is respectively bonded to the outside of the second scraper rod 12 and the first scraper rod 13.
[0036] The second scraper rod 12 is fixed to both ends of the first scraper rod 13 by screws, the limiting block 14 is fixed to the upper end of the support rod 15 by screws, and the scraper pad 16 is fixed by adhesive. This structural design makes it easy to install and disassemble the components, and facilitates replacement and maintenance when the components are damaged or worn.
[0037] The motor 6 is a servo motor.
[0038] Using a servo motor as the power source, the speed and rotation angle of the motor 6 can be precisely controlled, thereby accurately controlling the lifting speed and position of the diversion pipe 4, ensuring the stability and controllability of the cleaning process.
[0039] The second scraper 12, the first scraper 13, and the diversion pipe 4 are all made of metal.
[0040] The second scraper bar 12, the first scraper bar 13, and the diversion pipe 4 are all made of metal, which has high strength and corrosion resistance, can withstand the corrosion of the cleaning fluid and the friction during the cleaning process, and extend the service life of the equipment.
[0041] Cabinet 1: The size and material are determined according to the actual usage scenario and storage needs. For example, 304 stainless steel is used to ensure the strength and corrosion resistance of cabinet 1, which is suitable for storing precision instruments.
[0042] Motor 6: A Panasonic MINASA 6 series servo motor is selected, which has high precision, response speed and torque, and can meet the precise control requirements of the lifting and lowering motion of the shunt tube 4.
[0043] Threaded rod 7: Usually made of 45# steel, heat-treated to improve its overall mechanical properties. The thread specification can be selected according to the matching requirements of the motor 6 output shaft and the positioning seat 5, ensuring sufficient transmission strength while achieving relatively smooth lifting and lowering movements.
[0044] Scraper pad 16: A scraper pad 16 made of nitrile rubber can be selected. It has good wear resistance, oil resistance and corrosion resistance, can adapt to the cleaning liquid environment, and the soft material will not scratch the cabinet 1 to ensure sufficient scraping effect.
[0045] Diverter pipe 4: Made of stainless steel, such as SUS304 stainless steel pipe, which has good corrosion resistance and strength. The pipe diameter can be selected according to the actual flow requirements.
[0046] Adapter pipe 10: Select the appropriate size adapter pipe 10 according to the size of the connecting conduit. The material can be the same as that of the shunt pipe 4, such as SUS304 stainless steel.
[0047] Fixing block 8: Made of aluminum alloy, such as 6061 aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and high-strength.
[0048] Support rod 15: Made of stainless steel round bar, such as 304 stainless steel round bar with a diameter of 8mm, which has sufficient strength to support the second scraper rod 12.
