Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to cleaning equipment for tobacco equipment, specifically, to a mobile copper busbar chain cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] The copper chain is an important structure in a tobacco shredder. It is mainly responsible for conveying and pressing tobacco shreds. Because it needs to be in direct contact with the tobacco shreds, it needs to be cleaned frequently.

[0003] The specific structure of a copper busbar chain consists of several overlapping and connected sub-sections interlocking to form a chain. When cleaning a copper busbar chain, the traditional manual cleaning method is to disassemble the copper busbar chain, remove each sub-section for cleaning, and then reassemble them into a chain and install them into the equipment. This process is quite cumbersome.

[0004] With the development of technology, special equipment has been developed to clean copper busbar chains, enabling the removal, cleaning, and installation of copper busbar chains. For example, the patent application number CN201911196732.1, entitled "An Automatic Disassembly, Installation, and Cleaning Device for Copper Busbar Chains," discloses a mobile copper busbar chain cleaning device with integrated functions of disassembly, installation, and cleaning of copper busbar chains.

[0005] However, cleaning the copper busbar chain requires a large amount of space for its unfolding. The aforementioned solution results in a long vehicle body, while the production line setup is relatively compact, with very limited space available for placement. Therefore, floor space is a core issue that needs to be considered when modifying the equipment.

[0006] To address the space occupation issue, existing copper busbar chain cleaning machines need to be modified to reduce their footprint and make them more suitable for use in different tobacco processing production lines, thereby improving their adaptability.

The expanding roller is used to expand the local turning angle of the outer side of the copper busbar chain to an obtuse angle, so that the outer gap of the copper busbar chain is fully opened.

[0015] The cleaning box is equipped with a first set of high-pressure water nozzles facing the fully opened outer gap of the copper busbar chain, for rinsing perpendicular to the outer gap.

[0016] Based on the above, a second set of high-pressure water nozzles is provided at one or both ends of the expansion roller to flush the outer gap of the copper bus chain opened by the expansion roller, for rinsing along the length of the outer gap.

[0017] Based on the above, the expanding roller is positioned above the take-up roller and close to the rear side wall of the cleaning box. The reversing roller includes a first reversing roller and a second reversing roller positioned at the front and rear corners of the bottom of the cleaning box.

[0030] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0031] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a mobile copper busbar chain cleaning machine includes a mobile trolley 1 and a cleaning box 2, a chain winding roller system, a cleaning component and an inlet / outlet guide component 5 integrated on the mobile trolley 1.

[0032] The cleaning box 2 is a cleaning box with a vertical height greater than its horizontal width. A copper busbar chain inlet / outlet 21 is provided on the front side of the cleaning box 2. In this embodiment, the copper busbar chain inlet / outlet 21 is located at the upper part of the front side of the cleaning box 2. A front inspection port 22 is provided at the lower part of the front side of the cleaning box for internal inspection and for attaching a traction belt when loading the copper busbar chain. Correspondingly, a top inspection port 23 is also provided at the top of the cleaning box 2 for internal inspection and for attaching a traction belt when loading the copper busbar chain. A drain outlet is provided at the bottom of the cleaning box 2 for draining the wastewater after cleaning. The drain outlet is closed during use and opened after being moved to the discharge position. It can be opened and closed manually or by a solenoid valve.

[0033] The chain winding roller system includes a take-up roller 31, a cleaning circulation roller 32, an expansion roller 33, a first reversing roller 34, a second reversing roller 35, and a third reversing roller 36, all disposed in the cleaning box 2. The take-up roller 31 and the cleaning circulation roller 32 are arranged vertically to fit the shape of the cleaning box, forming an vertically distributed configuration. During the cleaning process, the two ends of the copper busbar chain are respectively wound around the take-up roller 31 and the cleaning circulation roller 32, realizing a vertical forward and reverse cycle of unfolding to clean the copper busbar chain.

[0034] The expanding roller 33 is positioned between the chain take-up roller 31 and the cleaning circulation roller 32. In this embodiment, the expanding roller 33 is positioned above the chain take-up roller 31 and close to the rear side wall of the cleaning box 2. The expanding roller 33 is used to expand the local turning angle of the outer side of the copper busbar chain to an obtuse angle, so that the outer gap of the copper busbar chain is fully opened, and the space inside that easily accumulates soot, soot and other substances is exposed, that is, the traditional cleaning dead corners are easier to clean.

[0035] The cleaning box 2 is equipped with a first set of high-pressure water nozzles 41 facing the fully opened outer gap of the copper busbar chain, for rinsing perpendicular to the outer gap.

[0036] A second set of high-pressure water nozzles 42 is provided at one or both ends of the expansion roller 33 to rinse the outer gap of the copper bus chain opened by the expansion roller 33 along the length of the outer gap.

[0037] The first reversing roller 34 and the second reversing roller 35 are located at the front and rear corners of the bottom of the cleaning box 2. The point reversing roller 36 is located at the inlet and outlet 21 of the copper busbar chain. The first reversing roller 34 and the widening roller 33 are directly opposite each other in the vertical direction. The second reversing roller 35 is at the same level as the first reversing roller 34. A third set of high-pressure water nozzles 43 is provided in the area between the widening roller 33 and the first reversing roller 34. The third set of high-pressure water nozzles 43 faces the inner side of the copper busbar chain and is used to rinse the inner side of the copper busbar chain.

[0038] A plurality of ultrasonic cleaning modules 37 are provided between the first reversing roller 34 and the second reversing roller 35. In the cleaning state, the first reversing roller 34, the second reversing roller 35, the ultrasonic cleaning modules and the copper busbar chain in this area are all underwater and are cleaned by the ultrasonic cleaning modules.

[0039] The inlet and outlet guide assembly 5 is a set of guide rollers that are matched with the copper busbar chain inlet and outlet 21 and are set outside the cleaning box 2. The inlet and outlet guide assembly includes four sets of guide rollers that are paired on the left and right and paired on the top and bottom, which are used to guide the copper busbar chain at input and output and reduce transmission resistance. In this embodiment, a vertical track 24 is set on the front side of the cleaning box 2, and the inlet and outlet guide assembly 5 is slidably installed on the vertical track 24. A positioning plate 25 is also set on the top front side of the cleaning box 2.

[0040] To make the space compact, an electrical control cabinet 6 is installed on the mobile trolley 1 behind the cleaning box 2. Between the cleaning box 2 and the electrical control cabinet 6, a power assembly 7 for driving the movement of the chain roller system and a device and pipeline assembly 8 for supplying high-pressure water are installed.

[0041] Working principle explanation:

[0042] The mobile trolley 1 is an electric trolley, which can be designed as a trolley equipped with an AGV. The predetermined position of the trolley is relatively fixed. When the copper busbar chain needs to be disassembled and cleaned, the mobile trolley 1 can be controlled to move to the set position according to the program. Of course, an electrically controlled or manually driven mobile trolley can also be used.

[0043] After the movement is completed, the guide assembly 5 is manually raised to the height of the copper busbar chain inlet and outlet 21. A section of the copper busbar chain on the wire making machine is removed, breaking the copper busbar chain from a ring into a strip. At the same time, the copper busbar chain inlet and outlet 21 is opened, and one end of the copper busbar chain on the wire making machine is pulled by the traction belt. The other end of the traction belt is wound and fixed on the take-up roller 31. Then, the take-up roller 31 and the copper busbar chain of the wire making machine are started at the same time to remove the copper busbar chain and wind it onto the take-up roller 31.

[0044] After winding is completed, the end of the copper busbar chain is fixed with the second traction belt. The other end of the second traction belt is wound sequentially through the expansion roller 33, the first reversing roller 34, and the second reversing roller 35 before being wound onto the cleaning circulation roller 32, thus completing the circulation winding and installation of the copper busbar chain inside the cleaning box.

[0045] At the start of cleaning, the take-up roller 31 and the cleaning circulation roller 32 are the driving rollers, working synchronously to unwind the copper busbar chain from the take-up roller 31 and simultaneously wind it onto the cleaning circulation roller 32. During this process, three sets of high-pressure water nozzles rinse their respective sections of the copper busbar chain, and the ultrasonic cleaning module cleans the areas of the copper busbar chain that it has passed through. After one stroke, the take-up roller 31 and the cleaning circulation roller 32 reverse, and the copper busbar chain unwinds from the cleaning circulation roller 32 and simultaneously winds onto the take-up roller 31. During this process, the three sets of high-pressure water nozzles continue to rinse their respective sections of the copper busbar chain, and the ultrasonic cleaning module cleans the areas of the copper busbar chain that it has passed through. This process is repeated several times to complete the cleaning process.

[0046] After cleaning, when the copper busbar chain needs to be reinstalled, it can be on either the take-up roller or the circulating cleaning roller. Simply lead the corresponding traction belt to the wire making unit, and through synchronous operation, transfer the copper busbar chain to the wire making unit, install the missing sections, assemble it into a complete ring, and put it into use.

[0047] The mobile cart is moved to a specific location to discharge sewage and perform self-cleaning.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and not to limit it; although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the specific implementation of this utility model or equivalent substitutions can be made to some technical features without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the technical solution claimed by this utility model.
