Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of probe device technology, specifically a biofilm self-cleaning probe device based on an electrolyzed water generator. Background Technology
[0002] In many fields, such as water quality monitoring, industrial production, and medical equipment testing, probe devices play a crucial role in acquiring various key data. Biofilm self-cleaning probe devices are functional components integrated into various detection, monitoring, or industrial equipment. They are mainly used to automatically remove biofilms (such as microbial communities and their secreted extracellular polymers) attached to the probe surface, in order to maintain the detection accuracy of the probe, extend its service life, and reduce maintenance costs.
[0003] However, in existing biofilm self-cleaning probe devices for water electrolysis generators, biofilm adheres to the outer surface of the probe during use. This not only interferes with the probe's accurate detection of target parameters, causing data deviation or distortion, but also corrodes the probe due to microbial metabolic activities, significantly shortening its lifespan. Cleaning the probe typically involves regular manual cleaning, which is not only labor-intensive and resource-intensive, but also difficult to keep pace with the biofilm's growth rate, often resulting in unsatisfactory results. While mechanical or chemical cleaning can remove biofilm to some extent, it may damage the probe's delicate structure or sensitive coating, affecting its performance. Therefore, we propose a biofilm self-cleaning probe device based on an water electrolysis generator. Utility Model Content

A cleaning tube is integrally formed at the bottom of the ultrasonic cleaner, and a connecting pipe is integrally formed at the bottom end of the cleaning tube. A connecting pipe is threaded to the outside of the connecting pipe, and a cleaning cover is bolted to one side of the connecting pipe. A cleaning motor is installed inside the cleaning cover, and a transmission gear is movably connected to the outside of the connecting pipe. A cleaning scraper is installed at the bottom of the transmission gear, and a probe head is installed at the bottom end of the connecting pipe. A connector head is integrally formed at the top end of the probe head.

[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0014] This invention provides a biofilm self-cleaning probe device based on an electrolyzed water generator, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] (1) This biofilm self-cleaning probe device based on an electrolyzed water generator, through the ultrasonic cleaner and cleaning scraper, allows the operator to install the corresponding connectors on the ultrasonic connector and the detection connector according to the needs when using the biofilm self-cleaning probe device based on the electrolyzed water generator. When the biofilm on the probe surface needs to be cleaned, the ultrasonic generator emits ultrasonic waves, which are then applied to the probe head through the ultrasonic transducer. At this time, the probe head vibrates due to the cavitation effect of the ultrasonic waves, and the biofilm on the probe head surface is cleaned off due to the vibration. At the same time, the cleaning motor drives the drive gear to rotate, and the drive gear drives the transmission gear to rotate. Meanwhile, the cleaning scraper rotates around the probe head 360 degrees, and the biofilm on the probe head surface is scraped off. This allows the probe device to use the vibration generated by ultrasonic waves and the friction generated by the cleaning components to completely clean the biofilm off the probe head, which not only simplifies the cleaning method but also improves the cleaning effect without damaging the probe head.
