Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of cup cleaning devices, and more particularly to a cup cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional teacup cleaning devices, the cleaning sponge is usually fixed in place to prevent it from falling off during the cleaning process. While this fixed design ensures the stability of the sponge to some extent, it also introduces several inconveniences. The main issue is disassembly. When the cleaning sponge needs to be replaced or cleaned separately, its fixed design makes it difficult for operators to easily remove it. The entire teacup cleaning device must be disassembled to access the sponge and perform the necessary operations. This significantly increases the difficulty and workload of disassembly, reducing the device's ease of use and maintenance efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a cup cleaning device to solve the technical problems of the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] On one hand, a cup cleaning device is provided, including a cleaning structure, the cleaning structure including: a support shaft, a kit and a cleaning component, the kit being sleeved on the support shaft, and the cleaning component being disposed on the kit, so that the cleaning component and / or the kit can be disassembled, replaced or cleaned.

[0006] Furthermore, the cleaning component is fitted onto the kit and is interference-fitted with the kit to ensure a secure connection between the cleaning component and the kit.

[0007] Furthermore, the support shaft is provided with a connecting key, and the inner side of the kit is provided with a keyway. The connecting key is inserted into the keyway so that the kit rotates synchronously with the support shaft.

[0008] Furthermore, the cup cleaning device also includes a mounting base, the support shaft is rotatably mounted on the mounting base, and the connecting key at least partially extends out of the mounting base and connects to the keyway.

[0009] Furthermore, the end of the support shaft away from the cleaning component is provided with a drive part for connection with the drive assembly, and a seal is provided between the support shaft and the mounting base so that the drive assembly cannot come into contact with the cleaning water.

[0010] Furthermore, an anti-detachment structure is provided between the kit and the cleaning component to prevent the cleaning component from easily falling off.

[0011] Furthermore, the anti-detachment structure includes barbs disposed on the outer wall of the kit.

[0024] To make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] In the description of this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature being directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature being directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a cup cleaning device, including a cleaning structure. The cleaning structure includes a support shaft 1, a kit 2, and a cleaning component 3. The kit 2 is sleeved on the support shaft 1, and the cleaning component 3 is disposed on the kit 2, so that the cleaning component 3 and / or the kit 2 can be disassembled, replaced, or cleaned.

[0028] Based on the above scheme, the cleaning structure includes a support shaft 1, a kit 2, and a cleaning component 3. When the device is in operation, the support shaft 1 serves as the main body for fixing and supporting the entire cleaning structure, the kit 2 is fitted onto the support shaft 1, and the cleaning component 3 is installed on the kit 2. During the cleaning process, the support shaft 1 can drive the kit 2 and the cleaning component 3 to rotate together or perform other movements, allowing the cleaning component 3 to fully contact the surface of the cup, thereby achieving the cleaning effect. When it is necessary to replace the cleaning component 3 or clean it separately, since the cleaning component 3 and / or the kit 2 adopt a detachable design, the operator can directly remove the cleaning component 3 from the kit 2, or remove the kit 2 together with the cleaning component 3 from the support shaft 1, without having to disassemble the entire cup cleaning device on a large scale, greatly improving the convenience of disassembly and replacement. For example, the cleaning component 3 can adopt a snap-fit, threaded connection, or plug-in structure to connect with the kit 2. In this way, when disassembly is required, only a certain force needs to be applied to complete the disassembly action, and installation is equally convenient and quick, ensuring that the cleaning component 3 can be firmly installed on the kit 2 and perform its cleaning function normally.

[0029] The cup cleaning device provided in this application offers significant advantages by designing the cleaning component 3 and / or the kit 2 as detachable. Firstly, in actual use, the cleaning component 3, being the part in direct contact with the cup, is prone to staining or wear and tear. The design of this application allows for quick disassembly and replacement of the cleaning component 3. When the cleaning component 3 fails, the user only needs to replace it with a new one, without replacing the entire cleaning device, greatly reducing operating costs. Secondly, the detachable cleaning component 3 facilitates individual cleaning, allowing for targeted deep cleaning and disinfection, ensuring its cleanliness and improving the overall hygiene performance of the cup cleaning device. Furthermore, this design enhances the flexibility and adaptability of the device. Users can easily replace the cleaning component 3 with different materials, shapes, and specifications according to different cup types, levels of staining, and cleaning requirements, enabling the cleaning device to better meet diverse cleaning needs. For example, for stubborn stains, a cleaning component 3 with stronger cleaning power can be used; for easily scratched cups, a cleaning component 3 made of a soft material can be used. In addition, the ease of disassembly reduces the risk of potential damage to other components of the device due to frequent disassembly, thus improving the overall lifespan and stability of the device.

[0030] Furthermore, the cleaning component 3 and the kit 2 can be a single molded piece. When the cleaning component 3 and the kit 2 are designed as a single molded piece, there is no longer a detachable connection structure between them; instead, they are fixedly mounted as a whole on the support shaft 1. During the cleaning process, the support shaft 1 drives the entire single molded piece to move, causing the cleaning component 3 to contact the surface of the cup and complete the cleaning action. Since there are no detachable connection points between the cleaning component 3 and the kit 2, there will be no loosening or separation between the cleaning component 3 and the kit 2 during the cleaning process, ensuring the stability and continuity of the cleaning action. When cleaning or replacement is required, the cleaning component 3 and the kit 2 can be removed as a whole. Preferably, both the kit 2 and the cleaning component 3 are designed to be washable for convenient simultaneous cleaning.

[0031] Preferably, the cleaning component 3 is fitted onto the kit 2 with an interference fit, ensuring a secure connection between the cleaning component 3 and the kit 2. When the cleaning component 3 is fitted onto the kit 2 with an interference fit, a certain force needs to be applied to the cleaning component 3 during installation to overcome the friction between the kit 2 and the cleaning component 3, thereby tightly installing the cleaning component 3 onto the kit 2. Due to the characteristics of the interference fit, a large frictional force is generated between the cleaning component 3 and the kit 2, which forms a stable connection between them. When the cup cleaning device is working, the support shaft 1 drives the kit 2 to move. Because of the secure connection with the kit 2, the cleaning component 3 can move together with the kit 2 and contact the surface of the cup to achieve the cleaning function. Because of the secure connection between the two, even if a large frictional force or external force is encountered during the cleaning process, the cleaning component 3 is not easily detached or loosened from the kit 2, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the cleaning process.

[0032] Meanwhile, the interference fit eliminates the need for additional connectors or complex connection structures, simplifying the design and manufacturing process of the device and reducing production costs and maintenance complexity. Furthermore, the robust connection helps extend the service life of the entire cleaning structure, reducing the frequency of component replacement due to wear at the connection points.

[0033] It is worth mentioning that the support shaft 1 is provided with a connecting key 101, and the inner side of the kit 2 is provided with a keyway. The connecting key 101 is inserted into the keyway so that the kit 2 rotates synchronously with the support shaft 1. The connecting key 101 on the support shaft 1 and the keyway on the inner side of the kit 2 fit tightly together. When the support shaft 1 rotates, the connecting key 101 is embedded in the keyway and transmits torque, so that the kit 2 and the support shaft 1 rotate synchronously. This design ensures that there is no relative rotation between the kit 2 and the support shaft 1, and the cleaning component 3 rotates stably with the kit 2, making full contact with the surface of the cup and achieving efficient cleaning. At the same time, the cooperation between the connecting key 101 and the keyway restricts the radial movement of the kit 2 on the support shaft 1, further enhancing the stability of the entire structure.

[0034] In some embodiments, the cup cleaning device further includes a mounting base 4, the support shaft 1 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 4, and the connecting key 101 at least partially extends out of the mounting base 4 and is connected to the keyway. The end of the support shaft 1 away from the cleaning component 3 is provided with a driving part 102 for connecting to the driving assembly 5. A sealing member 6 is provided between the support shaft 1 and the mounting base 4 so that the driving assembly 5 cannot come into contact with the cleaning water.

[0035] In the above solution, the support shaft 1, mounting base 4, drive assembly 5, and seal 6 are organically combined to ensure stable rotation and good sealing of the cleaning device. The mounting base 4 provides stable support for the support shaft 1, ensuring its smooth rotation; the drive unit 102 connects to the drive assembly 5, efficiently transmitting power; the connecting key 101 fits tightly with the keyway, ensuring that the kit 2 and the support shaft 1 rotate synchronously, improving cleaning efficiency and quality.

[0036] It is particularly important to note that the cup cleaning device comes into contact with a large amount of cleaning water during operation. The drive assembly 5 is typically an electrical or mechanical component. If these components come into contact with water, they are likely to short-circuit, rust, or be damaged, causing the device to malfunction or even become unusable. The seal 6 effectively isolates the cleaning water from the drive assembly 5, ensuring that the drive assembly 5 remains in a dry environment, thereby extending its service life and guaranteeing stable operation of the device. Furthermore, if cleaning water seeps into the area between the drive assembly 5 and the support shaft 1, it may form a water film on the surfaces of these components, affecting the friction and torque transmission efficiency between the drive assembly 5 and the support shaft 1. The seal 6 prevents this from happening, ensuring that the drive assembly 5 can efficiently and stably transmit power to the support shaft 1, thereby driving the cleaning component 3 to rotate and clean stably, improving the cleaning effect and efficiency.

[0037] As an optional specific implementation, the support shaft 1 is fixed on the mounting base 4, and the cup to be cleaned is driven to rotate independently by the drive component 5, so that the wall surface of the cup can generate relative sliding friction with the cleaning component 3, thereby realizing the cleaning function.

[0038] Furthermore, an anti-detachment structure is provided between the kit 2 and the cleaning component 3 to prevent the cleaning component 3 from easily falling off. In the cup cleaning device of this application, a matching anti-detachment structure is provided between the kit 2 and the flexible material cleaning component 3. The design of this anti-detachment structure takes into account the flexibility of the material of the cleaning component 3 to ensure the stability of the connection while avoiding damage to the flexible material. Common matching anti-detachment structures can be elastic buckles, flexible straps, adhesives, or Velcro, etc. When installing the cleaning component 3, its flexibility allows it to be fixed to the kit 2 through moderate deformation. The anti-detachment structure provides a reverse limiting force after the cleaning component 3 returns to its original shape, preventing its displacement in the axial or radial direction. During the cleaning process, although the flexible cleaning component 3 contacts the cup surface and generates friction, and the impact of water flow and its own oscillation may generate external forces that cause the cleaning component 3 to detach from the kit 2, the anti-detachment structure, through its elastic locking or adhesion, ensures that the cleaning component 3 cannot easily fall off the kit 2, thereby ensuring the continuity and stability of the cleaning process. For example, if an elastic snap-on anti-loosening structure is used, the elastic protrusion on the cleaning part 3 will fit tightly with the groove on the kit 2 to form a mechanical lock that can recover its deformation; if it is Velcro, the adhesion between the hook side and the loop side will prevent loosening.

[0039] Specifically, the anti-detachment structure includes barbs 201 disposed on the outer wall of the kit 2. The barbs 201 on the outer wall of the kit 2 effectively prevent the cleaning component 3 from falling off, ensuring a secure connection. The barbs 201 have a simple design, requiring no complex structures or additional components. They are adapted to the flexible material of the cleaning component 3, relying on its elastic deformation to generate locking force, eliminating the need for additional fixing and simplifying the installation and disassembly process. Simultaneously, the barbs 201 tightly engage with the flexible material, preventing the cleaning component 3 from shaking or shifting, improving cleaning efficiency and operational stability, reducing noise and vibration, and extending the device's service life.

[0040] More specifically, multiple barbs 201 are provided, symmetrically arranged axially on both sides of the kit 2, with at least two barbs 201 on the same side. When the flexible cleaning component 3 is fitted onto the kit 2, it needs to overcome the resistance of the barbs 201 to cause a certain elastic deformation of the cleaning component 3. After the cleaning component 3 is fully fitted, its elastic restoring force causes the inner wall of the cleaning component 3 to adhere tightly to the outer wall of the kit 2. At this time, the barbs 201 on both sides form a clamping effect on the cleaning component 3 from two axial directions. The multiple barbs 201 on the same side can be evenly distributed and jointly bear the force to prevent the cleaning component 3 from falling off, making it difficult for the cleaning component 3 to displace in the axial and radial directions.

[0041] By symmetrically arranging multiple barbs 201 on both sides of the kit 2, the detachment of the flexible cleaning component 3 is effectively prevented, greatly improving the reliability of the cleaning device. Firstly, the symmetrically arranged barbs 201 ensure balanced axial force on the cleaning component 3, preventing it from shifting or rotating during installation or use, thus guaranteeing consistent cleaning results. Secondly, the multiple barbs 201 on the same side increase the contact area and friction with the flexible cleaning component 3, further enhancing the anti-detachment performance. This structure is simple and low-cost, easy to manufacture and install, and requires no additional fixing components or complex connection structures.

[0042] Meanwhile, the kit 2 is provided with a radially protruding limiting boss 202, which abuts against and limits the end face of the cleaning component 3. The limiting boss 202 of the kit 2 plays a positioning role when installing the cleaning component 3. Its radially protruding part is in close contact with the end face of the cleaning component 3, accurately determining the installation position and ensuring correct installation. During the cleaning process, the cleaning component 3 may expand or soften when exposed to water, which can easily cause axial displacement. The limiting boss 202 effectively blocks this movement. Combined with anti-detachment structures such as barbs 201, it restricts the axial movement of the cleaning component 3, preventing displacement or detachment caused by water flow impact or its own swaying, and ensuring stability and firmness.

[0043] In some embodiments, the cleaning component 3 is made of one or more of the following materials: cloth, brush, sponge, or cleaning adhesive. By using different materials or combinations thereof, diverse cleaning needs can be met, each material possessing unique characteristics and applicable scenarios.

[0044] The fabric has good water absorption and softness, making it suitable for cleaning delicate cups and glasses. It can effectively remove stains while avoiding scratches and is often used to clean glass and ceramic cups, providing a gentle cleaning.

[0045] The brush is made of dense nylon or other synthetic fibers, providing strong friction and making it suitable for removing stubborn stains such as coffee and tea stains. It is especially effective for cleaning textured or hard-to-reach areas such as the bottom and sides of cups.

[0046] The sponge is soft and elastic, suitable for cleaning general stains. It adapts to the shape of cups and effectively cleans edges and corners. The open-pore structure absorbs detergent, enhancing its cleaning power, making it suitable for daily cleaning.

[0047] This cleaning gel boasts high absorbency and powerful stain removal, effectively removing stubborn stains and residues from cup and utensil surfaces, such as dried beverage residue. It penetrates deep into the tiny pores of the cup's surface for a thorough cleaning, making it suitable for cups of various materials, and particularly effective against stubborn stains.

[0048] In summary, the cup cleaning device can flexibly select or combine different cleaning materials according to different cleaning needs and cup materials, thereby improving the adaptability and cleaning effect of the device.
