Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, specifically to a high-efficiency automated pre-cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In the rapid development of the ice cream industry, cleaning ice cream buckets has become an indispensable part of the production process. Traditionally, the entire bucket wall was cleaned by manually wiping it with a sponge. However, this cleaning method is inefficient and labor-intensive, and it is gradually becoming unable to meet the needs of modern production.

[0003] Manual cleaning is not only slow, but also difficult to guarantee in terms of quality, often resulting in incomplete cleaning and residual stains. Improving cleaning efficiency and reducing labor costs has become a pressing technical challenge for ice cream manufacturers. Developing an automated device that can efficiently complete the pre-cleaning process can not only reduce the labor intensity of workers and improve cleaning efficiency, but also lay a good foundation for subsequent cleaning processes, which is of great significance for improving the efficiency and quality of the entire ice cream production process. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model relates to a highly efficient automated pre-cleaning device. This device has a simple and reliable structure, effectively solves the aforementioned technical problems, and is suitable for widespread use. To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:

[0005] A highly efficient automated pre-cleaning device includes a support base with a storage hole for holding an ice cream bucket to be cleaned. The support base has two symmetrical support rods, each equipped with a lateral displacement drive mechanism. The lateral displacement drive mechanism is connected to a movable plate that can move laterally. A lifting displacement drive mechanism is located on the front side of the movable plate, connected to a lifting plate that can move vertically. A limit seat is installed on one side of the lifting plate, connected to a drive motor. The output end of the drive motor is connected to a main shaft, which is connected to a cleaning cotton.

[0006] Based on the above scheme and as a preferred embodiment: the lateral displacement driving mechanism includes a lead screw motor, a support plate, a mounting frame, a lead screw, a first slider, a first guide rail, a movable seat, and a support plate. The support plate is fixed to the top of the support rod, the mounting frame is mounted on the support plate, the lead screw is mounted on the inner side of the mounting frame, the lead screw motor is mounted on the outer side of the mounting frame and its output end is connected to one end of the lead screw, the inner side of the movable seat is connected to the lead screw through a lead screw nut, the support plate is fixedly connected to the movable seat, the front side of the support plate is fixedly connected to the movable plate, and the mounting frame is also provided with a horizontally arranged first guide rail, which is parallel to the lead screw. The first slider is fixedly connected to the support plate and slidably connected to the first guide rail.

[0007] Based on the above scheme and as a preferred embodiment of the above scheme: the lifting displacement driving mechanism includes a lifting linear cylinder, a push plate, a second guide rail, and a second slider. The lifting linear cylinder is located on the front side of the movable plate. The piston rod of the lifting linear cylinder is fixedly connected to the push plate with its piston facing downward.

[0008] Based on the above scheme and as a preferred embodiment of the above scheme: it also includes a pressing mechanism, which includes a rotary pressing cylinder and a pressing block. A rotary pressing cylinder is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of each of the receiving holes. The piston rod of the rotary pressing cylinder is connected to the pressing block and is used to drive the pressing block to rotate 90 degrees and then press down to press the edge of the ice cream bucket.

[0009] Based on the above scheme and as a preferred embodiment of the above scheme: a plurality of the storage holes are evenly spaced along the lateral direction.

[0010] The outstanding and beneficial technical effects of this utility model compared with the prior art are: the core effect of this high-efficiency automated cleaning equipment is reflected in efficient pre-cleaning and automated operation. The equipment can quickly transfer cleaning tools between different storage holes and go deep into the bucket for operation through the horizontal and lifting displacement mechanism and the external water pipe.

[0012] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the specific implementation methods and embodiments described below are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0013] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the appendix. Figure 1 The directions or positional relationships shown are for the purpose of describing this utility model only, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0014] In the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated.

[0015] To solve the above technical problems, such as Figure 1 As shown, this utility model designs a high-efficiency automated pre-cleaning device, including a support base 1, on which a storage hole 2 is provided. The storage hole 2 is used to place the ice cream bucket to be cleaned. Several storage holes 2 are evenly spaced along the horizontal direction. The number and spacing of the storage holes 2 can be adjusted according to the actual situation. The storage holes 2 are adapted to the size of the ice cream bucket to prevent it from shaking randomly.

[0016] The support base 1 is provided with two symmetrical support rods 16. A lateral displacement drive mechanism is installed on each support rod 16. The lateral displacement drive mechanism is connected to a movable plate 3 that can move laterally. A lifting displacement drive mechanism is provided on the front side of the movable plate 3. The lifting displacement drive mechanism is connected to a lifting plate 4 that can move vertically. A limit seat is installed on one side of the lifting plate 4. The limit seat is connected to a drive motor 5. The output end of the drive motor 5 is connected to a main shaft 6. A cleaning cotton 7 is connected to the main shaft 6. During operation, the lateral displacement drive mechanism drives the movable plate 3 to move laterally. The movement allows the cleaning tool to be quickly and accurately transferred between different storage holes 2. Each storage hole 2 is equipped with a positioning signal sensor to ensure that the movable plate 3 is accurately positioned. After reaching the target position, the lifting displacement drive mechanism is activated, which drives the lifting plate 4 to move up and down, accurately delivering the cleaning cotton 7 into the ice cream bucket. Then, the drive motor 5 drives the main shaft 6 to rotate, so that the cleaning cotton 7 can efficiently wipe and preliminarily clean the residue inside the bucket. Its effect is that it can quickly complete the preliminary cleaning of multiple buckets, remove a large amount of residue from the bucket walls, and save time and reduce the workload of manual deep cleaning in the subsequent process.

[0017] It is worth mentioning that a faucet can be installed at each storage hole 2 on the support base 1 and connected to an external water pipe. This allows water to be added after the bucket is placed in the base, eliminating the need to fill the bucket with water beforehand, thus reducing workload. This can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation, and will not be elaborated further in this utility model.

[0018] In a further preferred embodiment, the lateral displacement driving mechanism includes a lead screw motor 8, a support plate 9, a mounting frame 10, a lead screw 11, a first slider 12, a first guide rail 13, a movable seat 14, and a support plate 15. The support plate 9 is fixed to the top of the support rod 16. The mounting frame 10 is mounted on the support plate 9. The lead screw 11 is located inside the mounting frame 10. The lead screw motor 8 is located outside the mounting frame 10, and its output end is connected to one end of the lead screw 11. The inner side of the movable seat 14 is connected to the lead screw 11 via a lead screw nut. The support plate 15 is fixedly connected to the movable seat 14. The front side of the support plate 15 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 3. The mounting frame 10 is also provided with a horizontally arranged first guide rail 13, which is parallel to the lead screw 11. The first slider 12 is fixedly connected to the support plate 15. The first slider 12 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 13. After the lead screw motor 8 is started, its output end drives the lead screw 11 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 11 is converted into the linear motion of the moving seat 14 along the axis of the lead screw 11. The support plate 15 is fixedly connected to the moving seat 14. Therefore, when the moving seat 14 moves, it drives the support plate 15 to move laterally in sync, thereby driving the movable plate 3 to move laterally. The lead screw 11 has high transmission precision, which can ensure the accuracy of the movable plate 3 moving to the target position each time, thereby ensuring that the cleaning tool can reliably align with each ice cream bucket. At the same time, the cooperation between the first guide rail 13 and the slider enhances the stability of the movement process and avoids the cleaning tool deviating from the target position due to the shaking of the movable plate 3. In addition, the structure of this mechanism is compact and the operation is stable. It can adapt to frequent start and stop operations and meet the high-efficiency operation requirements of automated pre-cleaning equipment.

[0019] In this embodiment, it is further preferred that the lifting displacement driving mechanism includes a lifting linear cylinder 17, a push plate 18, a second guide rail 19, and a second slider 20. The lifting linear cylinder 17 is disposed on the front side of the movable plate 3, and the piston rod of the lifting linear cylinder is fixedly connected to the push plate 18 with its piston rod pointing downwards. The bottom end of the second slider 20 is fixedly connected to the push plate 18. The second guide rail 19 is disposed on one side of the lifting linear cylinder 17 and is parallel to the piston rod of the lifting linear cylinder 17. The second slider 20 is slidably engaged with the second guide rail 19. One side of the lifting plate 4 is fixedly connected to the second slider 20. When the lifting displacement driving mechanism is working, the lifting linear cylinder 17 is activated, and its piston rod extends and retracts, driving the push plate 18 to move up and down. The push plate 18 is fixedly connected to the second slider 20, and the second slider 20 slides along the second guide rail 19 to ensure that the lifting plate 4 moves stably and vertically. The effect is that it responds quickly, controls precisely, and the guide rail enhances stability, prevents shaking, and ensures cleaning quality.

[0020] In a further preferred embodiment, the device also includes a pressure vessel mechanism. This mechanism comprises a rotary pressing cylinder 21 and a pressing block 22. A rotary pressing cylinder 21 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of each of the receiving holes 2. The piston rod of each rotary pressing cylinder 21 is connected to the pressing block 22. When the pressure vessel mechanism is in operation, the rotary pressing cylinder 21 is activated, and its piston rod drives the pressing block 22 to rotate 90 degrees and press down, causing the pressing block 22 to fit tightly against the edge of the ice cream bucket, thus quickly fixing the bucket. The symmetrical arrangement of the rotary pressing cylinders 21 on both sides ensures balanced force, preventing the bucket from tilting or shaking. Its effect is to effectively fix the ice cream bucket, preventing it from shifting during pre-cleaning due to friction or collision with cleaning tools, ensuring that the cleaning cotton 7 accurately acts on the target area inside the bucket, and improving the pre-cleaning effect.

[0021] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made by those skilled in the art based on the structure, shape, and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
