[0002] Cleaning equipment plays a vital role in various industrial production processes, especially in food processing, electronics manufacturing, automobile assembly, and pharmaceuticals. In these industries, the cleaning of equipment and production lines is not only related to product quality control but also affects production efficiency and safety. With the continuous development of automation technology and intelligent equipment, the application of cleaning equipment has gradually shifted from traditional manual cleaning to automation and intelligence. This transformation has greatly improved cleaning efficiency while reducing labor costs and labor intensity.
[0003] Existing technologies, such as the utility model patent with publication number CN208627975U, disclose an automatic cleaning device. This patent includes a loading end and a unloading end for LED dispensing assemblies at both ends of a frame. Its lifting mechanism automatically grabs and fixes the LED dispensing assemblies to be cleaned, repeatedly immersing them in the cleaning tank during the lifting motion, ensuring thorough cleaning. A translation mechanism connects to and drives the lifting mechanism to move back and forth between the loading and unloading ends, enabling automated cleaning of multiple sets of LED dispensing assemblies, greatly improving cleaning efficiency and ensuring cleaning results. Additionally, an adjustment mechanism controls the automatic rotation of the cover plate on the cleaning tank, ensuring the cover covers and seals the tank. This reduces the evaporation of the cleaning solution, minimizing irritation and harm to workers, and preventing any impact on cleaning efficiency.
[0004] In daily use, it has been found that current conveyor line cleaning mainly relies on manual intervention or semi-automated equipment, which has significant efficiency bottlenecks. Manual cleaning has low cleaning efficiency and unstable cleaning quality. Spray cleaning is not thorough in cleaning deep hole structures. Non-circulating cleaning systems have high water consumption and poor equipment compatibility, making it difficult to apply to conveyor belts of different widths. Conveyor line cleaning in the food industry is even more directly related to food safety. Traditional methods cannot meet the high standards of modern food processing and have problems such as cross-contamination risks and cleaning dead spots.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new automatic cleaning device for conveyor lines to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

In the food industry, conveyor line cleaning is directly related to food safety, and traditional methods cannot meet the high standards of modern food processing, posing risks of cross-contamination and cleaning dead zones. Therefore, this invention proposes an automatic conveyor line cleaning device.

[0008] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: they can overcome the shortcomings of traditional cleaning methods, solve the problems of unstable cleaning quality and low efficiency of manual cleaning, adapt to conveyor belts of different widths, and effectively sterilize and thoroughly clean conveyor lines in industries such as food, medicine, and tobacco by adopting a high-temperature steam cleaning system.
[0009] Preferably, the reciprocating motion module includes: a slide rail, and a servo motor drives a slider to move bidirectionally along the slide rail via a synchronous belt.
[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that the servo motor can drive the slider to move synchronously in both directions on the slide rail, making its movement more convenient and efficient.
[0011] Preferably, the pressure of the spraying module is 0.2-20 MPa, and the temperature range is 30-150℃.
[0012] The effects achieved by the above components are as follows: the pressure range of the spray cleaning module allows it to handle relatively fragile or delicate equipment under low pressure; the temperature range provides sufficient heat energy to remove grease, dirt and microorganisms; and the high-temperature steam has a good sterilization effect.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The automatic cleaning device for the conveyor line provided in this embodiment of the utility model includes: a first support frame 1 and a third support frame 13 arranged symmetrically, which are respectively fixed to the side frames of the conveyor line by clamping screws.
[0022] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The bracket 2 is bolted to the upper ends of the first support frame 1 and the third support frame 13 respectively, forming a bridge structure spanning the conveyor line. The left extension is fixedly connected to the second support frame 3. The control system 4 is fixedly installed on the second support frame 3. The reciprocating motion module 5 is arranged along the length of the bracket 2 and intersects the direction of the conveyor line at 90°±2°. The spray cleaning module 6 includes: fan-shaped nozzles 7, pressure-resistant high-temperature hoses 8, and valves 9. It can be connected to an external steam / high-pressure water source, which can overcome the shortcomings of traditional cleaning methods and solve the problems of unstable cleaning quality and low efficiency of manual cleaning. It can adapt to conveyor belts of different widths. By adopting a high-temperature steam cleaning system, it can effectively sterilize and thoroughly clean the conveyor lines in the food, pharmaceutical, and tobacco industries. The reciprocating motion module 5 includes: a slide rail 10, and a servo motor 11 drives the slider 12 to move bidirectionally along the slide rail 10 through a synchronous belt. The motor 11 can drive the slider 12 to move synchronously in both directions on the slide rail 10, making its movement more convenient and efficient. The pressure of the spray cleaning module 6 is 0.2-20 MPa, and the temperature range is 30-150℃. The pressure range of the spray cleaning module 6 allows it to handle relatively fragile or delicate equipment under low pressure. The temperature range provides sufficient heat energy to remove grease, dirt and microorganisms. High-temperature steam has a good sterilization effect. The control system 4 has a segmented cleaning mode and can set multiple sets of start / end point coordinates; the speed is infinitely adjustable from 0.1 to 2 m / s. The segmented cleaning mode of the control system 4 can set multiple start and end point coordinates according to different conveyor lines or cleaning needs, realizing fixed-point or segmented cleaning. This is very useful for situations where the items on the conveyor belt have complex shapes or different area requirements, ensuring that each area is thoroughly cleaned and avoiding cleaning dead corners.
[0023] The working principle of the automatic conveyor cleaning device provided by this utility model is as follows: The automatic conveyor cleaning device works in concert with multiple key components to ensure efficient and stable completion of the cleaning task. First, the first support frame 1 and the third support frame 13 provide a solid foundation for the entire system, ensuring stability of each component during the cleaning process. The second support frame 3 further enhances the overall structural stability of the system, ensuring that the equipment will not vibrate or shift during operation. The carriage 2 is fixed to the support frame and guided by the slider 12 on the slide rail 10, enabling the entire cleaning system to reciprocate on the conveyor belt. The servo motor 11, through precise control, drives the reciprocating motion module 5, causing the carriage 2 to move precisely along the conveyor belt direction, thereby ensuring uniform cleaning of the cleaning fluid. The spraying module 6, working in conjunction with the fan-shaped nozzles 7, evenly covers the surface of the conveyor belt, spraying high-temperature steam or cleaning fluid onto the conveyor belt. During the cleaning process, the nozzles employ a fan-shaped spray pattern to ensure a wide cleaning range and thorough cleaning of the conveyor belt surface. Steam or cleaning fluid is supplied from the control system 4 to the spraying module 6 via a pressure-resistant high-temperature hose 8. Valves 9 are responsible for regulating the flow rate of steam or liquid to ensure sufficient cleaning power is provided as needed. All these components operate under the precise scheduling of the control system 4. The control system 4 adjusts the operation of each part of the equipment according to preset parameters to ensure efficient and stable cleaning. In short, the coordinated work of all components enables this automatic conveyor cleaning device to quickly and thoroughly complete the cleaning task, adapt to conveyor belts of different widths, and meet high-standard cleaning requirements.
