Detailed Implementation

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] Example

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7As shown, to solve the problems mentioned in the technical solution, this application provides an automatic cleaning device for a tea bar machine, including a cleaning tank 1. A drive column 4 is disposed inside the cleaning tank 1, with one end of the drive column 4 connected to an external drive to provide power to the cleaning device. A mounting plate 6 is disposed on the outer surface of the drive column 4, and transmission cylinders 7 are evenly arranged on the top of the mounting plate 6. A shelf 10 is disposed on the outer surface of the transmission cylinders 7, and the shelf 10 is used to place teacups to be cleaned. A rinsing cylinder 11 is disposed at the top of each transmission cylinder 7, located above the shelf 10, and the rinsing cylinder 11 contains... A water supply pipe 12 is located inside the transmission cylinder 7. The water supply pipe 12 delivers cleaning water from inside the transmission cylinder 7 to the rinsing cylinder 11 to rinse the inner wall of the teacup. A connecting frame 13 is evenly arranged on the outer surface of the rinsing cylinder 11. A connecting rod 14 is slidably arranged inside the connecting frame 13. A swing plate 15 is rotatably arranged on the outer surface of the connecting rod 14. A cleaning brush 16 is arranged on the side of the swing plate 15 away from the connecting rod 14. The centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the rinsing cylinder 11 causes the connecting rod 14 to slide outward along the inside of the connecting frame 13, so that the cleaning brush 16 can fit more closely to the inner wall of the teacup.

[0029] It is worth mentioning that a central gear 5 is provided on the outer surface of the drive column 4, and planetary gears 8 are provided on the outer surface of the transmission cylinder 7. The planetary gears 8 are located below the shelf 10. The central gear 5 meshes with the planetary gears 8. Through the meshing connection between the central gear 5 and multiple planetary gears 8, multiple rinsing cylinders 11 can be driven to rotate simultaneously, and multiple teacups can be cleaned at the same time, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of this cleaning device. In addition, limit rods 18 are evenly arranged inside the connecting frame 13, and the upper and lower ends of the connecting rod 14 are located on the outer surface of the limit rods 18. A return spring 17 is provided between the upper and lower ends of the connecting rod 14 and the connecting frame 13. The return spring 17 is sleeved on the outer surface of the limit rod 18, thereby causing the connecting rod 14 to move along the limit rod 18. The limiting rod 18 slides back and forth, thereby enabling the swing plate 15 to flexibly adjust its position. At the same time, the rinsing cylinder 11 is generally conical, and the outer surface of the rinsing cylinder 11 is evenly provided with nozzles, which are used to fit more closely to the inner wall of the teacup, thereby better cleaning the inner wall of the teacup and improving the cleaning effect. In addition, the cross-section of the swing plate 15 is T-shaped, which allows the swing plate 15 to swing left and right inside the connecting frame 13. Thus, during the rotation of the rinsing cylinder 11, the swing plate 15 can swing back and forth, thereby better removing stubborn stains such as tea stains and oil stains from the inner wall of the teacup. The cleaning brush 16 is generally arc-shaped, which allows the cleaning brush to fit more closely to the inner wall of the teacup.

[0030] Further examples:

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4As shown, a fixing frame 2 is provided inside the cleaning tank 1, and an installation ring 3 is provided at the center of the fixing frame 2. The inner surface of the installation ring 3 is provided with ring gears 9, which mesh with planetary gears 8, thereby enabling the ring gears 9 to rotate synchronously with the planetary gears 8. In addition, a ring frame 19 is provided on the top of the installation ring 3, and wiping blocks 20 are evenly provided on the top of the ring frame 19. The wiping blocks 20 are close to the cleaning brush 16. The wiping blocks 20 are made of sponge material, which can avoid damaging the outer wall of the teacup during wiping and can effectively clean the stains on the rim of the teacup. At the same time, the fixing frame 2 is inverted conical and hollow, which allows the cleaning water to flow better to the bottom of the cleaning tank 1, effectively preventing the cleaning water from accumulating near the teacup and causing the stains in the water to be re-adsorbed on the teacup after cleaning.

[0032] The working principle of all the content in the above embodiments is as follows:

[0033] In use, the user first places the teacups to be cleaned upside down on the outer surface of the rinsing tube 11, then activates the external drive, causing the central gear 5 on the drive column 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the multiple planetary gears 8 meshing with the central gear 5 to rotate. The planetary gears 8 then drive the rinsing tube 11 to rotate via the transmission tube 7. During the rotation of the rinsing tube 11, due to centrifugal force, the connecting rod 14 inside the connecting frame 13 slides outward along the outer surface of the limiting rod 18, causing the return spring 17 to continuously contract. This allows the cleaning brush 16 to fit more closely to the inner wall of the teacup, thus cleaning stubborn stains on the inner wall. When the cleaning brush 16 contacts the inner wall of the teacup, the swing plate 15 experiences resistance and rotates along the connecting rod 14, thereby enabling the swing... The plate 15 swings flexibly within the connecting frame 13, which improves the efficiency of cleaning stubborn stains on the inner wall of the teacup. At the same time, cleaning water is pumped into the rinsing cylinder 11 through the water pipe 12 and sprayed outward from multiple nozzles on the rinsing cylinder 11 onto the inner wall of the teacup, rinsing away the stubborn stains loosened by the cleaning brush 16, thus washing away the stubborn stains attached to the inner wall of the teacup. As the central gear 5 drives the planetary gear 8 to rotate, the planetary gear 8 drives the ring gear 9 that meshes with it to rotate, which in turn drives the ring frame 19 on it to rotate. The wiping block 20 on the ring frame 19 also rotates and wipes the outer wall of the teacup rim, thereby cleaning the area that directly contacts the user's mouth, thus ensuring the hygiene and safety of the user when drinking.
