Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cleaning equipment technology, specifically, it relates to a novel O-ring cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] O-rings are widely used in numerous industrial production processes, especially those involving the use of electrolytes. During use, the O-rings come into contact with the electrolyte, resulting in electrolyte residue on their surface. If not cleaned promptly, this electrolyte residue not only affects the sealing performance of the O-ring itself, shortening its service life, but may also cause corrosion or contamination to other components upon subsequent contact.
[0003] Existing cleaning methods often fail to completely remove electrolyte from O-rings, and there is a lack of effective management measures for the cleaning water during the process. Uncontrolled flow of cleaning water may enter the electrolyte sludge tank, causing an abnormal rise in the sludge level, triggering alarms, and disrupting normal production. Furthermore, residual electrolyte may crystallize on subsequent guide rollers, affecting their operation, reducing their accuracy, and potentially further damaging the O-rings, increasing production and equipment maintenance costs.
[0004] In view of this, this utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing cleaning methods, which often fail to completely remove electrolyte from O-rings and lack effective management of cleaning water during the process—such as the risk of cleaning water flowing into the electrolyte tank, causing abnormally high levels, triggering alarms, and disrupting production—this invention addresses these issues. Furthermore, residual electrolyte may crystallize on subsequent guide rollers, affecting their operation, reducing their precision, and potentially damaging the O-rings, thus increasing production and maintenance costs. The basic concept of this invention is as follows:
[0006] A novel O-ring cleaning device includes a first water receiving cover and a first support seat disposed on the outer wall of one side of the first water receiving cover. A bracket is disposed on the outside of the first water receiving cover.
[0007] A first end cap is provided above the first support base, and a first screw is connected to the top of the first end cap. The first water receiving cover is used to collect cleaning water and prevent cleaning water from flowing into the electrolyte tank, which would cause an abnormal increase in liquid level and trigger an alarm.
[0008] The first support base and the first end cover are connected by a first guide wheel, and a second guide wheel is provided on one side of the first guide wheel. The first guide wheel and the second guide wheel are rotatably supported by a coil.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a first water pipe is connected to the outer wall of the first support base, and the outer wall of the first water pipe passes through the first support base and the first water receiving cover respectively. A second water receiving cover is provided on one side of the first guide wheel. A first sponge fixing frame is connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the second water receiving cover. A first silicone rubber sponge is connected to the inner wall of the first sponge fixing frame. A second support base is connected to one side of the outer wall of the second water receiving cover. A second end cap is connected to one side of the second support base. A second screw is connected to one side of the outer wall of the second end cap. A second water pipe is connected to the bottom end of the second water receiving cover.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a third water-receiving cover is installed on one side of the first support base, a second sponge fixing frame is connected to the inner wall of the third water-receiving cover, a second silicone rubber sponge is connected to the second sponge fixing frame, a fixing block is connected to the outer wall of one side of the third water-receiving cover, and a third water pipe is connected to the bottom end of the third water-receiving cover.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first water receiving cover is semi-circular in shape, and the inner wall of the first water receiving cover is adapted to the bottom end of the outer wall of the first guide wheel.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the first silicone rubber sponge and the second silicone rubber sponge have through holes on their outer walls, and the inner wall of the through hole is smaller than the outer wall of the coil.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second guide wheel is rotatably disposed on the top surface of the second support base and the second end cover.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the inner walls of the first sponge fixing frame and the second sponge fixing frame are both smaller than the first silicone rubber sponge and the second silicone rubber sponge.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0016] This invention uses a first guide wheel and a second guide wheel to support and guide the coil, allowing for continuous movement of the coil for cleaning. A first silicone rubber sponge and a second silicone rubber sponge rub and clean the outer wall of the coil, ensuring its cleanliness. Simultaneously, a first water-collecting cover collects the cleaning water. The rotation of the first guide wheel ensures the outer wall is constantly cleaned by the cleaning water, preventing cleaning water from flowing into the electrolyte tank and causing an abnormally high liquid level alarm.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a novel O-ring cleaning device includes a first water receiving cover 1 and a first support base 2 disposed on the outer wall of one side of the first water receiving cover 1. A bracket 21 is disposed on the outside of the first water receiving cover 1. A first end cap 3 is disposed on the top of the first support base 2. A first screw 4 is connected to the top of the first end cap 3. The first water receiving cover 1 is used to collect cleaning water and prevent the cleaning water from flowing into the electrolyte tank, which would cause an abnormal increase in the liquid level and trigger an alarm. A first guide wheel 18 is disposed in cooperation with the first support base 2 and the first end cap 3. A second guide wheel 19 is disposed on one side of the first guide wheel 18. A coil 20 is rotatably supported by the first guide wheel 18 and the second guide wheel 19.
[0026] Furthermore, a first water pipe 5 is connected to the outer wall of the first support base 2. The outer wall of the first water pipe 5 passes through the first support base 2 and the first water receiving cover 1. A second water receiving cover 8 is provided on one side of the first guide wheel 18. A first sponge fixing frame 7 is connected to the bottom end of the inner wall of the second water receiving cover 8. A first silicone rubber sponge 6 is connected to the inner wall of the first sponge fixing frame 7. A second support base 9 is connected to one side of the outer wall of the second water receiving cover 8. A second end cap 10 is connected to one side of the second support base 9. A second screw 11 is connected to one side of the outer wall of the second end cap 10. A second water pipe 12 is connected to the bottom end of the second water receiving cover 8.
[0027] Furthermore, the first water receiving cover 1 is semi-circular in shape, and the inner wall of the first water receiving cover 1 is adapted to the bottom end of the outer wall of the first guide wheel 18. This allows the first water receiving cover 1 to be adapted to the outer wall of the first guide wheel 18, thereby ensuring that the cleaning water can always come into contact with and clean the first guide wheel 18.
[0028] Furthermore, both the first silicone rubber sponge 6 and the second silicone rubber sponge 16 have through holes on their outer walls. The inner wall of the through hole is smaller than the outer wall of the coil 20. In this way, when the outer wall of the coil 20 passes through the inner wall of the through hole, it can be tightly wrapped around the outer wall of the coil 20 by the elastic force of the rubber, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the coil 20.
[0029] A third water-receiving cover 14 is installed on one side of the first support base 2. A second sponge fixing frame 15 is connected to the inner wall of the third water-receiving cover 14. A second silicone rubber sponge 16 is connected to the second sponge fixing frame 15. A fixing block 13 is connected to the outer wall of one side of the third water-receiving cover 14. A third water pipe 17 is connected to the bottom end of the third water-receiving cover 14.
[0030] Furthermore, the second guide wheel 19 is rotatably mounted on the top surface of the second support base 9 and the second end cover 10, and the second support base 9 and the second end cover 10 can support and rotate the second guide wheel 19.
[0031] Furthermore, the inner walls of the first sponge fixing frame 7 and the second sponge fixing frame 15 are smaller than those of the first silicone rubber sponge 6 and the second silicone rubber sponge 16, so that the elasticity of the rubber sponge can rebound and fill the inner wall of the fixing frame, ensuring the stability of the sponge.
[0032] The implementation principle of this novel O-ring cleaning device is as follows: The first guide wheel 18 and the second guide wheel 19 guide the coil 20. The first support seat 2, the first end cap 3, the second support seat 9, and the second end cap 10 respectively fix and support the first guide wheel 18 and the second guide wheel 19. As the coil 20 rotates on the first guide wheel 18 and the second guide wheel 19, it passes between the first silicone rubber sponge 6 and the second silicone rubber sponge 16. The friction between the first silicone rubber sponge 6 and the second silicone rubber sponge 16 cleans the outer wall of the coil 20, achieving a cleaning effect. The first water pipe 5, the second water pipe 12, and the third water pipe 17 guide and clear the accumulated water inside the first water receiving cover 1, the second water receiving cover 8, and the third water receiving cover 14, respectively, thus preventing water from entering the three water receiving covers. The water overflows, and since the first water collecting cover 1 is located below the first guide wheel 18, it can collect the cleaning water left on the first guide wheel 18. Simultaneously, as the coil 20 moves, it drives the first guide wheel 18 to rotate, ensuring the cleaning water inside the first water collecting cover 1 is constantly in contact with the outer wall of the first guide wheel 18. This provides continuous and thorough cleaning of the first guide wheel 18 and prevents cleaning water from flowing into the electrolyte tank, which could cause an abnormally high liquid level alarm. After being cleaned by the friction of two silicone rubber sponges, the coil 20 is thoroughly cleaned, ensuring its normal operation. Furthermore, the continuous cleaning action of the first water collecting cover 1 on the first guide wheel 18 removes any crystals that may form on the guide wheel, preventing further damage and ensuring its accuracy, while reducing O-ring wear.
