[0043] Washing needle cylinders is a frequent operation in the knitting production process. Currently, factories generally use manual handling. Compared with automatic needle cylinder washing machines, manual handling has disadvantages such as operators being exposed to the oil gun and water for a long time, which can easily cause occupational injuries. It is also inefficient, labor-intensive, prone to safety accidents, and waste oil or water is not recycled, which is not environmentally friendly.

[0044] There is a utility model patent with publication number CN201420479276.8 and patent name entitled "Drying Syringe Device". It includes a rotating arm, which drives the syringe to move between two positions. However, the use of a rotating arm will result in the syringe washing device occupying more space, which is not conducive to the layout of factory equipment.

[0045] To address the issue that existing syringe washing devices, which use rotating arms, occupy a significant amount of space, this solution was designed.

[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 3 An automatic syringe washing machine is provided with a cleaning station and a station to be cleaned, which are arranged along a first direction.

[0047] The automatic syringe washing machine includes a conveying device 100 and a washing device 200.

[0048] The conveying device 100 is used to convey syringes, moving them from the cleaning station to the cleaning station.

[0049] The handling device 100 includes a handling frame 101, a lifting mechanism 102, and a handling drive mechanism 103. The handling drive mechanism 103 includes a handling drive motor 131, a handling drive gear 132, a handling moving seat 133, and a handling drive rack 134. The handling drive rack 134 is fixedly mounted on the handling frame 101 and extends along a first direction; the handling moving seat 133 is slidably connected to the handling frame 101 and can slide relative to the handling frame 101 along the first direction; the handling drive motor 131 is fixedly mounted on the handling moving seat 133, and the handling drive gear 132 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the handling drive motor 131. The handling drive motor 131 drives the handling drive gear 132 to rotate, and the handling drive gear 132 meshes with the handling drive rack 134.

[0050] When the transport drive motor 131 rotates, it drives the transport drive gear 132 to rotate. At this time, since the transport drive gear 132 meshes with the transport drive rack 134, the rotation of the transport drive gear 132 will drive the transport moving seat 133 to move in the first direction, thereby driving the lifting mechanism 102 to move in the first direction. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the transport drive motor 131, the lifting mechanism 102 can achieve linear reciprocating motion between the cleaning station and the station to be cleaned. Compared with the previous use of the swing arm structure, the space occupied by the automatic syringe washing machine can be reduced, which is beneficial to the layout of factory equipment.

[0051] In other embodiments, other conventional linear drive mechanisms may be used instead of the transport drive mechanism 103. Those skilled in the art can select the specific structure of the transport drive mechanism 103 according to actual needs.

[0052] The lifting mechanism 102 includes an electric hoist 110 and a lifting clamp 120.

[0053] The electric hoist 110 is fixedly installed on the transport moving seat 133 so that the electric hoist 110 can move along the first direction with the transport moving seat 133.

[0054] In other embodiments, the electric hoist 110 may also be configured as other conventional linear drive mechanisms. Those skilled in the art can select the specific structure of the drive device in the lifting mechanism 102 according to actual needs.

[0055] Specifically, the lifting clamp 120 includes a telescopic drive structure 141, a clamp housing 142, and a lifting claw 143.

[0056] The clamp housing 142 is fixedly connected to the lifting rope of the electric hoist 110. When the electric hoist 110 operates and moves the end of the lifting rope upward, it will pull the clamp housing 142 upward. When the electric hoist 110 operates and moves the end of the lifting rope downward, the clamp housing 142 will fall due to gravity.

[0057] The lifting claws 143 are arranged in multiples, equidistant from the central axis of the lifting clamp 120. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are three lifting claws 143, and the included angle between any two adjacent lifting claws 143 is 120 degrees. In other embodiments, the number of lifting claws 143 can be four, five, or other numbers. Those skilled in the art can select the number of lifting claws 143 according to actual needs. The lifting claws 143 are provided with a support surface for supporting the syringe. When the lifting structure lifts the syringe, the support surface abuts against the lower end face of the syringe. The lifting claws 143 are slidably connected to the clamp housing 142.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lifting claw 143 is rotatably mounted with multiple rollers (not shown in the figure). The upper end of the rollers is flush with the supporting surface. By setting the rollers, the friction between the lifting claw 143 and the lower end of the syringe can be reduced, thereby reducing the wear of the lower end of the syringe when the lifting claw 143 and the syringe slide relative to each other, thus effectively protecting the syringe.

[0059] The telescopic drive structure 141 is used to drive multiple lifting claws 143, so that the multiple lifting claws 143 simultaneously move closer to or away from the center of the clamp housing 142.

[0060] Specifically, the telescopic drive structure 141 includes: a telescopic drive motor 151, a telescopic drive disk 152, and a telescopic drive block 153.

[0061] The telescopic drive motor 151 is fixedly installed on the fixture housing 142.

[0062] The telescopic drive disk 152 is disposed inside the fixture housing 142 and is rotatably connected to the fixture housing 142. The telescopic drive disk 152 is fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic drive motor 151, which drives the telescopic drive disk 152 to rotate around a vertical axis. The telescopic drive disk 152 is provided with a helical groove 154, which is configured as an Archimedean spiral groove structure and is connected to the lower end face of the telescopic drive disk 152.

[0063] Multiple telescopic drive blocks 153 are provided, and each telescopic drive block 153 corresponds to a lifting claw 143. The telescopic drive block 153 is fixedly connected to the corresponding lifting claw 143. The telescopic drive block 153 is provided with a connecting protrusion 155, which extends into the spiral groove 154 and is slidably connected to the spiral groove 154. Specifically, in order to make the sliding of the connecting protrusion 155 in the spiral groove 154 smoother, the connecting protrusion 155 is set as a cylindrical protrusion.

[0064] When the telescopic drive disc 152 rotates, the spiral groove 154 will drive the connecting protrusion 155 to move radially along the telescopic drive disc 152, so that the multiple lifting claws 143 approach or move away from the central axis of the lifting clamp 120.

[0065] Specifically, the lifting clamp 120 also includes: a telescopic guide block 171 and a telescopic guide groove 172.

[0066] Telescopic guide block 171 is fixedly installed on telescopic drive disk 152. Telescopic guide block 171 extends radially along telescopic drive disk 152 and protrudes downward.

[0067] The telescopic guide groove 172 is formed on the telescopic drive block 153. The telescopic guide groove 172 is slidably connected to the telescopic guide block 171. The telescopic guide groove 172 and the telescopic guide block 171 cooperate to guide the sliding direction of the telescopic drive block 153 so that the telescopic drive block 153 can only move radially relative to the telescopic drive disk 152.

[0068] Specifically, in this embodiment, the lifting mechanism 102 further includes upper and lower guide components, and the number of upper and lower guide components is set to multiple, with the multiple upper and lower guide components arranged in a rectangular pattern.

[0069] Specifically, the upper and lower guide assembly includes upper and lower guide rods 161 and upper and lower guide sleeves 162.

[0070] The upper and lower guide rods 161 are fixedly installed on the clamp housing 142 of the lifting clamp 120, and the upper and lower guide rods 161 extend in the vertical direction.

[0071] The upper and lower guide sleeves 162 are fixedly installed on the transport and moving seat 133 so that the upper and lower guide sleeves 162 can move along the first direction with the electric hoist 110. The upper and lower guide sleeves 162 are sleeved on the upper and lower guide rods 161, and the upper and lower guide sleeves 162 and the upper and lower guide rods 161 are slidably connected in the upper and lower direction.

[0072] By setting up upper and lower guide components, the vertical movement of the lifting clamp 120 can be guided, thereby preventing the lifting clamp 120 from tilting during its vertical movement.

[0073] The cleaning station is set as a syringe holder 300, which is used to place syringes. Placing the syringes to be cleaned on the syringe holder 300 can restrict the position of the syringes to avoid repeated centering of the lifting clamp 120, and can also leave space at the bottom of the syringes to facilitate the lifting claws 143 of the lifting clamp 120 to extend under the syringes, so as to facilitate the lifting mechanism 102 to lift the syringes.

[0074] The cleaning device 200 is installed at the cleaning station and includes: a cleaning frame 201, a rotating frame 202, a rotating drive device (not shown in the figure), a cleaning oil gun 204, and an oil gun drive mechanism 205.

[0075] The rotation drive device is fixedly installed on the cleaning frame 201, and the rotation drive device is a rotary motor.

[0076] The rotating frame 202 is mounted on the cleaning machine frame 201 and is rotatably connected to the cleaning machine frame 201. The rotating frame 202 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotation drive device. When the rotation drive device is working, it drives the rotating frame 202 to rotate around the vertical axis. The rotating frame 202 is used to support syringes. After the syringes are transported to the cleaning station by the lifting structure, the lifting mechanism 102 unloads the syringes at the rotating frame 202.

[0077] The oil gun drive mechanism 205 is fixedly installed on the cleaning frame 201 and is located beside the rotating frame 202. The oil gun drive mechanism 205 is a linear drive mechanism, and its driving direction is up and down. Specifically, in this embodiment, the oil gun drive mechanism 205 is a linear module. In other embodiments, the oil gun drive mechanism 205 can also be set as other conventional linear drive mechanisms. Those skilled in the art can select the specific structure of the oil gun drive mechanism 205 according to actual needs.

[0078] The cleaning gun 204 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the cleaning gun drive mechanism 205, which drives the cleaning gun 204 to move vertically. While waiting for the syringe to move to the rotating frame 202, the cleaning gun 204 is positioned higher than the lifting clamp 120 to avoid collisions between the cleaning gun 204 and the syringe or the lifting clamp 120. The cleaning gun drive mechanism 205 is used to ensure the cleaning gun 204 is positioned correctly, thus guaranteeing the normal operation of the automatic syringe washing machine. After the syringe is placed on the rotating frame 202 and the lifting clamp 120 moves a certain distance away from the cleaning gun 204 in the first direction, the cleaning gun 204 descends, moving above the syringe placed on the rotating frame 202.

[0079] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cleaning device 200 further includes a collection tray 206 and a drain pipe 207.

[0080] The collection tray 206 is located below the rotating frame 202 and is fixedly connected to the cleaning frame 201. The collection tray 206 has a funnel-shaped structure and is used to guide the cleaning fluid.

[0081] The drain pipe 207 is connected to the bottom of the collection tray 206. The drain pipe 207 directs the cleaning fluid after cleaning to a designated location to avoid the cleaning fluid from flowing erratically and causing the factory environment to become dirty.

[0082] The operating process of this automatic syringe washing machine is as follows:

[0083] Electric hoist 110 lowers lifting clamp 120;

[0084] When the lifting claw 143 of the lifting clamp 120 descends below the syringe, the telescopic drive structure 141 drives the multiple lifting claws 143 to move away from the central axis of the lifting clamp 120, so that the lifting claws 143 extend out of the clamp housing 142.

[0085] The electric hoist 110 drives the lifting clamp 120 to rise, and the supporting surface of the lifting claw 143 abuts against the lower end surface of the syringe, causing the syringe to rise with the lifting clamp 120.

[0086] After the syringe rises to a certain height, the transport drive mechanism 103 drives the lifting mechanism 102 to move above the cleaning station, and then the electric hoist 110 lowers the lifting clamp 120.

[0087] The rotating frame 202 receives the syringe, and the lifting claw 143 moves closer to the central axis of the lifting clamp 120, so that the supporting surface separates from the lower end surface of the syringe. Then the lifting clamp 120 moves a distance away from the cleaning oil gun 204 and then stands still.

[0088] The oil gun drive mechanism 205 drives the cleaning oil gun 204 to descend;

[0089] The cleaning gun 204 sprays out cleaning fluid, while the rotating frame 202 drives the syringe to rotate, so as to clean the syringe from all directions.

[0090] After cleaning, the cleaning gun 204 is raised, and then the lifting clamp 120 is moved above the syringe;

[0091] The lifting clamp 120 descends, and the lifting claw 143 extends;

[0092] The lifting clamp 120 drives the syringe to rise;

[0093] The lifting clamp 120 moves the syringe to another position, then lowers the syringe, and then the lifting clamp 120 returns to the cleaning station.

[0094] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
