Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of chain drying equipment, and in particular to a continuous cleaning and drying equipment for stainless steel chains. Background Technology
[0002] Stainless steel chains are widely used in various transmission and conveying systems across numerous industries, including machinery manufacturing, food processing, and logistics transportation, due to their advantages such as corrosion resistance, high strength, and long service life. With the continuous expansion of production scale and increasingly stringent product quality requirements across industries, the cleaning and drying process for stainless steel chains faces greater challenges. However, existing stainless steel chain cleaning and drying equipment has many problems and struggles to meet actual production needs. In the cleaning stage, traditional cleaning equipment mostly employs simple immersion cleaning or single spray cleaning methods. During soaking and cleaning, stainless steel chains are immersed in the cleaning solution for extended periods, making it difficult for detergents and additives to mix thoroughly. This limits the activity and cleaning power of the cleaning solution, resulting in ineffective removal of oil, metal shavings, and other impurities from the chain surface, leading to poor cleaning results. Furthermore, single-spray cleaning equipment often suffers from an unreasonable spray head layout, failing to fully cover the chain surface, especially the inner side and gaps between links, creating cleaning blind spots and hindering deep cleaning. In the drying stage, traditional drying equipment often relies on natural air drying, which is highly susceptible to environmental factors, takes a long time, and cannot achieve continuous production, severely restricting production efficiency. Therefore, we propose a continuous cleaning and drying equipment for stainless steel chains to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a continuous cleaning and drying equipment for stainless steel chains to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A continuous cleaning and drying device for stainless steel chains includes: a cleaning tank, a control feed pipe fixedly installed at the bottom of the cleaning tank, a frame at the bottom of the control feed pipe, two sets of drive rollers inside the frame, a conveyor belt installed on the outer side of the two sets of drive rollers, a support and a drying tank fixedly installed at the top of the frame, and a high-pressure cleaning assembly at the bottom of the support. The high-pressure cleaning assembly includes: a water tank, a short pipe installed at the bottom of the water tank, a connecting pipe at the bottom of the short pipe, and two side fittings on the connecting pipe. The drying chamber has multiple diversion pipes, and multiple high-pressure nozzles are fixedly installed at the bottom of each diversion pipe. The drying chamber is equipped with a drying assembly, which includes a rotating shaft and two sets of bevel gears. Two sets of bevel gears are fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating shaft. Each set of bevel gears meshes with a corresponding bevel gear. A fixed shaft is fixedly installed inside each set of bevel gears. Both sets of fixed shafts are rotatably connected to the drying chamber and rotatably penetrate into the interior of the drying chamber. A fan is fixedly installed at the bottom of each set of rotating shafts.
[0006] Preferably, the cleaning tank is equipped with a stirring assembly, which includes: a stirring shaft, which is rotatably mounted on one inner wall of the cleaning tank; multiple sets of fixing rings are fixedly mounted on the outer side of the stirring shaft; multiple sets of stirring rods are fixedly mounted on the outer side of the multiple sets of fixing rings; a motor and two sets of cylinders are fixedly mounted on the left and right sides of the cleaning tank, respectively; the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft; and the output ends of the two sets of cylinders are fixedly mounted with the same set of push plates, which movably abut against the bottom inner wall of the cleaning tank.
[0007] Preferably, the water tank is fixedly installed on the top of the bracket, and an inlet pipe is fixedly installed on the top of the water tank. The short pipe extends to the bottom of the bracket, and a high-pressure pump is fixedly installed at the bottom of the short pipe. The bottom of the high-pressure pump is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe, and multiple sets of nozzles are arranged above the conveyor belt.
[0008] Preferably, two sets of short plates are fixedly installed on the top of the drying box, and the rotating shaft is rotatably installed inside the two sets of short plates. A second motor is fixedly installed on one side of the right short plate, and the output shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. A heating plate is provided at the bottom of the two sets of fans, and the heating plate is fixedly connected to the drying box. Ventilation plates are provided on both the left and right sides of the drying box, and the two sets of fans are both located above the conveyor belt.
[0009] Preferably, both sets of transmission rollers are rotatably mounted on the inner walls of both sides of the frame, and a motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the frame, with the output shaft of the motor fixedly connected to the transmission roller on the left side.
[0010] Preferably, filter plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the frame, and the two sets of filter plates are respectively located on both sides of the conveyor belt. A drain pipe is fixedly installed on one side of the frame, and an ultrasonic cleaning module is provided on the inner wall of one side of the cleaning tank.
[0011] This utility model describes a continuous cleaning and drying equipment for stainless steel chains. It includes a stirring assembly, a push plate, a cylinder, and a high-pressure cleaning assembly. Starting a motor drives a stirring shaft, which in turn rotates the stirring rods on multiple fixed rings on the outer side of the stirring shaft. This stirs the cleaning solution in the cleaning tank, ensuring thorough mixing and enhancing the cleaning effect. Starting a high-pressure pump at the bottom of the water tank draws water from the tank, which then flows through the short pipe, connecting pipe, and multiple diversion pipes before being sprayed from multiple high-pressure nozzles. These nozzles comprehensively cover the chain surface, powerfully rinsing it with high-pressure water. This thoroughly removes impurities loosened by ultrasonic waves, ensuring thorough mixing of the cleaning solution and even distribution of detergents and additives, enhancing its activity and cleaning power. The high-pressure cleaning assembly provides comprehensive high-pressure rinsing, quickly removing impurities. Compared to traditional cleaning methods, this significantly improves cleaning efficiency. The automated operation of the stirring assembly, push plate, cylinder, and high-pressure cleaning assembly reduces manual operation during the cleaning process, greatly reducing labor intensity.
[0012] In this invention, a continuous cleaning and drying device for stainless steel chains is provided. A drying assembly is installed. When motor two is started, its output shaft drives a rotating shaft, causing two sets of bevel gears on the outer side of the shaft to rotate. Since each set of bevel gears meshes with a corresponding bevel gear, the rotation of bevel gear one drives bevel gear two to rotate, which in turn causes the fixed shaft to rotate. The fan at the bottom of the fixed shaft then rotates, and the heating plate begins to heat the air. The hot air, under the action of the fan, blows evenly across the chain surface, causing the moisture on the chain surface to evaporate quickly. The rapid and even blowing of hot air onto the chain surface ensures full contact between the fast-flowing hot air and the chain surface, accelerating the evaporation rate and significantly shortening the drying time of the chain.

Fixed shafts 804 are fixedly installed inside the two sets of bevel gears 803. The two sets of fixed shafts 804 are rotatably connected to the drying chamber 3 and rotatably penetrate into the interior of the drying chamber 3. Fans 805 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the two sets of rotating shafts 801.
[0021] In this embodiment, the cleaning tank 1 is equipped with a stirring assembly 6, which includes a stirring shaft 601. The stirring shaft 601 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of one side of the cleaning tank 1. Multiple sets of fixing rings 602 are fixedly mounted on the outer side of the stirring shaft 601. Multiple sets of stirring rods 603 are fixedly mounted on the outer side of the multiple sets of fixing rings 602. A motor and two sets of cylinders 10 are fixedly mounted on the left and right sides of the cleaning tank 1, respectively. The output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the stirring shaft 601. The output ends of the two sets of cylinders 10 are fixedly mounted with the same set of push plates 9. The push plates 9 movably abut against the bottom inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 to facilitate better cleaning of the chain. A water tank 701 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support. A water inlet pipe is fixedly mounted on the top of the water tank 701. A short pipe 702 extends to the bottom of the support. A high-pressure pump 703 is fixedly mounted on the bottom end of the short pipe 702. The bottom end of the high-pressure pump 703 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 704. Multiple nozzles are arranged above the conveyor belt 4 to facilitate rapid high-pressure cleaning of the chain.
[0022] In this embodiment, two sets of short plates are fixedly installed on the top of the drying chamber 3. A rotating shaft 801 is rotatably installed inside the two sets of short plates. A motor 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the right short plate. The output shaft of the motor 2 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 801. A heating plate 11 is provided at the bottom of the two sets of fans 805. The heating plate 11 is fixedly connected to the drying chamber 3. Ventilation plates 12 are provided on both the left and right sides of the drying chamber 3. The two sets of fans 805 are both located above the conveyor belt 4 to facilitate the rotation of the fans 805 and facilitate the rapid drying of the chain. The two sets of transmission rollers 5 are rotatably installed on the inner walls of both sides of the frame 2. A motor 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the frame 2. The output shaft of the motor 3 is fixedly connected to the transmission roller 5 on the left side to facilitate the transportation of the chain. Filter plates 13 are fixedly installed on both sides of the frame 2. The two sets of filter plates 13 are located on both sides of the conveyor belt 4. A drain pipe is fixedly installed on one side of the frame 2. An ultrasonic cleaning module 15 is provided on the inner wall of one side of the cleaning chamber 1 to facilitate the discharge of wastewater.
[0023] In this embodiment, when in use, the chain is placed into the cleaning tank 1, and the motor is started. The output shaft of the motor drives the stirring shaft 601 to rotate. The stirring rods 603 on the multiple sets of fixing rings 602 on the outside of the stirring shaft 601 rotate accordingly, stirring the cleaning liquid in the cleaning tank 1, so that the cleaning liquid is fully mixed and the cleaning effect is enhanced. Simultaneously, the ultrasonic cleaning module 15 on one side of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1 is activated, emitting ultrasonic waves. The ultrasonic waves act on the surface and gaps of the chain, initially loosening oil stains, debris, and other impurities on the chain surface, preparing for subsequent cleaning. Two sets of cylinders 10 are activated, and the output end of the cylinders 10 drives the push plate 9 to push the pre-cleaned chain, causing the material to fall from the control feed pipe 14 to the top of the conveyor belt 4. The drive motor 3 drives the transmission roller 5 to drive the conveyor belt 4 to convey the chain. The high-pressure pump 703 at the bottom short pipe 702 of the water tank 701 is activated. The high-pressure pump 703 draws water out of the water tank 701, which passes through the short pipe 702, the connecting pipe 704, and the multi-group diversion pipe 705, and finally sprays out from multiple sets of high-pressure nozzles 706. The high-pressure nozzles 706 can cover the chain surface in all directions, using high-pressure water flow to powerfully wash the chain, completely washing away the impurities loosened by the ultrasonic waves from the chain surface. The chain is then transported from the cleaning tank 1 to the bottom of the drying tank 3 via the conveyor belt 4. When motor two is started, its output shaft drives shaft 801 to rotate, causing the two sets of bevel gears 802 on the outer side of shaft 801 to rotate accordingly. Since the two sets of bevel gears 802 mesh with their corresponding bevel gears 803, the rotation of bevel gears 802 drives bevel gears 803 to rotate, which in turn causes fixed shaft 804 to rotate, and the fan 805 at the bottom of fixed shaft 804 to start rotating. The rotation of fan 805 generates airflow, accelerating airflow within the drying chamber 3. Simultaneously, heating plate 11 starts working, heating the air. The hot air, under the action of fan 805, evenly blows onto the chain surface, causing the moisture on the chain surface to evaporate quickly, achieving chain drying. Ventilation plates 12 on the left and right sides of drying chamber 3 allow for air convection within the drying chamber 3, promptly expelling humid air, improving drying efficiency, and ensuring thorough chain drying. Filter plates 13 on both sides of frame 2 filter the cleaning liquid and water on conveyor belt 4. The filtered cleaning liquid and water are discharged through a drain pipe on one side of frame 2, preventing the cleaning liquid from accumulating around the equipment.
