Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveyor chain plate technology, and more specifically, to a conveyor chain plate with an automatic cleaning function. Background Technology
[0002] Conveyor chains are widely used in the automatic conveying, distribution, and downstream packaging of food, canned goods, pharmaceuticals, beverages, cosmetics and detergents, paper products, condiments, dairy products, and tobacco. During use, the surface of the conveyor chain is easily contaminated with debris carried by the conveyed materials. Over time, the accumulation of debris can cause the conveyor belt to slip while transporting goods, reducing the conveying efficiency. At the same time, the debris can also cause contamination of the conveyed materials.
[0003] A search revealed that a conveyor chain plate with an automatic cleaning function is disclosed in the prior art, with patent publication number CN220925442U. The specification states: "A scraper, a cleaning brush, and a wiping head are provided at the bottom of the conveyor chain plate body. A drain brush and a cleaning sleeve are provided at the top of the inner wall of the bottom of the conveyor chain plate body. When the drive motor operates to drive the first and second transmission components, the inclined scraper first scrapes away the dirt at the bottom of the conveyor chain plate body during the conveying process. Then, multiple staggered cleaning brushes and wiping heads clean and wipe the bottom again. Simultaneously, the rotating drain brush, in a spiral shape, transports the dirt on the inner wall of the bottom of the conveyor chain plate body to the other end of the conveyor chain plate body during cleaning, causing the dirt to fall onto the slag guide trough. Then, the cleaning sleeve, moistened with cleaning fluid, wipes the inner wall of the bottom of the conveyor chain plate body, thereby achieving the effect of simultaneous cleaning of the inner and outer walls of the conveyor chain plate body."
[0004] However, in actual use, the cleaning brush will be damaged due to wear after a long period of use, and the machine needs to be stopped to replace it so that it can continue to clean the conveyor chain. Since it is generally installed by bolts, the installation position is relatively narrow, which makes it inconvenient to replace the cleaning brush and reduces the replacement efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a conveyor chain plate with automatic cleaning function, so as to solve the problem that the cleaning brush is difficult to replace and has low replacement efficiency due to the narrow installation position.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a conveyor chain plate with automatic cleaning function, including a machine body and a conveyor chain plate body. The conveyor chain plate body is rotatably connected to the inside of the machine body. An installation block is slidably connected inside the machine body. A placement groove is opened inside the installation block. Multiple elastic elements are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement groove. A movable plate is fixedly connected to the other end of the elastic element. Multiple cleaning brushes are detachably connected to the top of the movable plate. The top of the cleaning brushes is in contact with the conveyor chain plate body. A sponge strip is detachably connected to the left side of the top of the installation block. Two slots are opened inside the machine body. A locking block is locked inside the slot. The locking block is slidably connected inside the installation block.
[0007] The movable plate has a connecting groove inside, and multiple guide rods are connected inside the connecting groove. The bottom end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement groove, and the guide rod is slidably connected inside the movable plate.
[0008] The bottom end of the movable plate is fixedly connected to two pull ropes, and the other end of each pull rope is fixedly connected to a rotating rod.
[0009] The mounting block has two limiting grooves inside, and two pull ropes are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod. An elastic element is sleeved on the outside of the pull ropes. A limiting piece is fixedly connected to one end of the pull rope away from the rotating rod, and the other end of the limiting piece is fixedly connected to the locking block.
[0010] The top of the sponge strip is attached to the lower side of the conveyor chain plate body, and the moving plate is slidably connected inside the placement groove.
[0011] The pull rope is slidably connected to the interior of the elastic element at the corresponding position, the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the interior of the mounting block, the front end of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to a connecting block, and the connecting block is movably connected to the interior of the mounting block.
[0012] The second pull rope is slidably connected inside the limiting groove, the limiting piece is slidably connected inside the limiting groove, and the locking block is slidably connected inside the limiting groove.
[0013] One end of the second elastic element is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove, and the other end of the second elastic element is fixedly connected to the limiting piece.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] In the above solution, by installing an elastic element on the lower side of the cleaning brush, the cleaning brush can be pushed to keep it in contact with the conveyor chain plate. This not only improves the cleaning effect but also extends the service life of the cleaning brush, reducing the number of times the cleaning brush needs to be replaced. Furthermore, by using a locking block to engage the mounting block, the cleaning brush can be easily disassembled, resulting in high replacement efficiency. This significantly reduces the downtime of the conveyor chain plate and makes it highly economical to use. Attached Figure Description

[0026] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0027] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 8This utility model provides a technical solution: a conveyor chain plate with automatic cleaning function, including a body 1 and a conveyor chain plate body 9. The conveyor chain plate body 9 is rotatably connected inside the body 1, and the body 1 provides installation space for the conveyor chain plate body 9, enabling the conveyor chain plate body 9 to transport items. An installation block 2 is slidably connected inside the body 1, providing installation space for the installation block 2. A placement groove 3 is opened inside the installation block 2 for storing cleaning agent. Multiple elastic elements 10 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement groove 3. A movable plate 4 is fixedly connected to the other end of the elastic elements 10. The multiple elastic elements 10 are used to connect the movable plate 4 and the placement groove 3. The movable plate 4 is slidably connected inside the placement groove 3, and the placement groove 3 supports the movable plate 4. The moving plate 4 is detachably connected to the top of the moving plate 4, and multiple cleaning brushes 5 are used to clean the conveyor chain plate body 9. The cleaning brushes 5 can be disassembled and replaced. The top of the cleaning brushes 5 is in contact with the conveyor chain plate body 9. A sponge strip 6 is detachably connected to the top left of the mounting block 2. The top of the sponge strip 6 is in contact with the lower side of the conveyor chain plate body 9. The sponge strip 6 is used for secondary cleaning of the conveyor chain plate body 9 and can wipe the cleaning agent on the conveyor chain plate body 9. Two slots 7 are opened inside the machine body 1. The slots 7 are fitted with locking blocks 8. The locking blocks 8 are slidably connected inside the mounting block 2, so that the mounting block 2 can be stably installed on the machine body 1 and can be easily disassembled.
[0028] When cleaning the conveyor chain plate body 9 is required, the mounting block 2 is slid into the interior of the machine body 1, and the two locking blocks 8 are moved to opposite sides, allowing the locking blocks 8 to engage with the locking slots 7. This ensures that the mounting block 2 is stably installed inside the machine body 1. During installation, the cleaning brush 5 and the sponge strip 6 slide against the conveyor chain plate body 9, causing the cleaning brush 5 to push the moving plate 4 downwards. This causes the moving plate 4 to compress the elastic element 10, resulting in deformation and a reset movement of the elastic element 10. Consequently, the moving plate 4 pushes the cleaning brush 5 to fit tightly against the conveyor chain plate body 9, resulting in a higher cleaning effect and extending the conveyor chain plate body. The service life of the cleaning brush 5 is extended. Simultaneously, the cleaning agent inside the placement groove 3 wets the cleaning brush 5, allowing it to apply the cleaning agent to the conveyor chain plate body 9 while performing an initial cleaning. The sponge strip 6 then absorbs the cleaning agent, performing a secondary cleaning of the conveyor chain plate body 9. This not only improves the cleaning effect but also extends the service life of the cleaning brush 5, reducing the number of times it needs to be replaced. Conversely, by moving the two locking blocks 8 to a similar side, the locking blocks 8 disengage from the inside of the locking groove 7, and then the mounting block 2 is pulled forward, allowing for easy disassembly of the mounting block 2. At this point, the cleaning brush 5 can be replaced, resulting in higher replacement efficiency.
[0029] Example 2: Based on Example 1, in order to ensure that the cleaning agent can be continuously adhered to the cleaning brush 5, the inside of the moving plate 4 is provided with a connecting groove 16. The inside of the connecting groove 16 is connected to multiple guide rods 19. The guide rods 19 are ink sacs used to absorb the cleaning agent inside the placement tank 3 and transport it to the inside of the moving plate 4. The bottom end of the guide rod 19 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement tank 3. The guide rod 19 is slidably connected to the inside of the moving plate 4, so that when the moving plate 4 slides up and down, it can squeeze the guide rod 19 to produce deformation.
[0030] When the cleaning agent level inside the placement tank 3 is lower than that inside the cleaning brush 5, the guide rod 19 can transport the adsorbed liquid to the interior of the connecting tank 16, thereby allowing the cleaning brush 5 to adsorb the cleaning agent inside the connecting tank 16 and keep the cleaning brush 5 moist for a long time.
[0031] Example 3: Based on Example 2, in order to facilitate the replacement of the cleaning brush 5, two pull ropes 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the movable plate 4. The pull ropes 11 are slidably connected inside the corresponding elastic element 10. The pull ropes 11 at the corresponding position of the elastic element 10 play a limiting role, so that the pull ropes 11 will not deviate when sliding. The other end of the pull ropes 11 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 12. The rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected inside the mounting block 2. The mounting block 2 plays a limiting role for the rotating rod 12, so that the rotating rod 12 can rotate smoothly. The front end of the rotating rod 12 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 17. The connecting block 17 is movably connected inside the mounting block 2, so that the connecting block 17 can rotate conveniently.
[0032] When it is necessary to disassemble the movable plate 4, the rotating rod 12 is rotated so that the rotating rod 12 can wind the pull rope 11, thereby pulling the movable plate 4 downward. As the movable plate 4 deforms by squeezing the elastic element 10, it can pull the cleaning brush 5 into the placement groove 3, so that the height of the cleaning brush 5 is lower than the installation height of the mounting block 2, thereby pulling the mounting block 2 out of the machine body 1. At this time, the cleaning brush 5 can be easily replaced.
[0033] Example 4: Based on Example 3, in order to facilitate the disassembly of the mounting block 2, two limiting grooves 13 are opened inside the mounting block 2. Two pull ropes 18 are fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating rod 12. The pull ropes 18 are slidably connected inside the limiting grooves 13. The limiting grooves 13 limit the pull ropes 18, so that the pull ropes 18 will not deviate when rotating. An elastic element 15 is sleeved on the outside of the pull ropes 18. A limiting piece 14 is fixedly connected to the end of the pull ropes 18 away from the rotating rod 12. The limiting piece 14 is slidably connected inside the limiting grooves 13. The limiting grooves 13 limit the limiting piece 14, so that the limiting piece 14 can slide smoothly. The other end of the limiting piece 14 is fixedly connected to the locking block 8. The locking block 8 is slidably connected inside the limiting grooves 13. The limiting grooves 13 provide more space for the locking block 8 to move. One end of the elastic element 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting grooves 13, and the other end of the elastic element 15 is fixedly connected to the limiting piece 14.
[0034] When the rotating rod 12 rotates, it winds the second pull rope 18, which in turn pulls the limiting piece 14 inward. This causes the limiting piece 14 to compress the second elastic element 15, causing it to deform and disengage the locking block 8 from the inside of the locking groove 7. As a result, the mounting block 2 is no longer restricted, and pulling the mounting block 2 can then disassemble it. Conversely, by releasing the rotating rod 12, the second elastic element 15 can return to its original position, which in turn pushes the limiting piece 14 outward. This causes the limiting piece 14 to push the locking block 8 into the inside of the locking groove 7, thus allowing the mounting block 2 to be stably installed.
[0035] The working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0036] When cleaning the conveyor chain plate body 9 is required, rotating the lever 12 causes it to wind the pull rope 11, which in turn pulls the moving plate 4 downwards. This causes the moving plate 4 to deform by compressing the elastic element 10, pulling the cleaning brush 5 into the placement groove 3. The height of the cleaning brush 5 is then lower than the installation height of the mounting block 2. Simultaneously, rotating the lever 12 winds the pull rope 18, which in turn pulls the limiting plate 14 inwards. This causes the limiting plate 14 to deform by compressing the elastic element 15, and pulls the locking block 8 into the limiting groove 13. The mounting block 2 then slides into the machine body 1. Releasing the lever 12 allows the elastic element 15 to reset, pushing the limiting plate 14 outwards. This causes the limiting plate 14 to engage the locking block 8 with the inside of the locking groove 7, thus securing the mounting block 2. With the mounting block 2 stably installed and the elastic element 10 resetting, the cleaning brush 5 is pushed tightly against the conveyor chain plate body 9 by the moving plate 4. This results in a higher cleaning effect for the cleaning brush 5 and extends the service life of the conveyor chain plate body 9. Simultaneously, the cleaning agent inside the placement groove 3 enters the interior of the connecting groove 16 through the conveyor chain plate body 9, allowing the cleaning brush 5 to absorb the cleaning agent inside the connecting groove 16. This keeps the cleaning brush 5 moist for a long time, enabling it to apply cleaning agent to the conveyor chain plate body 9 and perform an initial cleaning. The sponge strip 6 then absorbs the cleaning agent and performs a secondary cleaning of the conveyor chain plate body 9. This not only improves the cleaning effect but also extends the service life of the cleaning brush 5, reducing the frequency of replacement. Conversely, the mounting block 2 can be easily disassembled, allowing the cleaning brush 5 to be replaced, thus improving replacement efficiency.
