Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of industrial production technology, and specifically relates to an automatic cleaning device for grinding tanks. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, especially in industries involving material grinding and processing, grinding jars are indispensable key equipment. During long-term use, the inner walls of grinding jars inevitably accumulate a large amount of material residue, impurities, and dust generated during grinding. These contaminants not only affect the quality of subsequent ground materials, leading to decreased product purity and unstable performance, but may also shorten the lifespan of the grinding jar and increase equipment maintenance costs for enterprises. Therefore, regular and thorough cleaning of grinding jars is crucial.
[0003] Currently, traditional grinding jar cleaning methods mainly rely on manual operation. Workers need to manually remove the grinding jars from the production line, transport them to the cleaning area, and then clean them using tools such as brushes and high-pressure water guns. This cleaning method has many drawbacks:
[0004] Inefficiency: Manual cleaning is slow and cannot meet the needs of rapid cleaning of grinding tanks in large-scale production, resulting in excessively long production interruptions and reducing overall production efficiency.
[0005] Unstable cleaning quality: The effectiveness of manual cleaning is greatly affected by factors such as the operator's skills and work attitude, making it difficult to guarantee that each grinding tank can be thoroughly cleaned, resulting in inconsistent cleaning quality.
[0006] Therefore, an automatic cleaning device for grinding tanks is proposed to address the problems of low cleaning efficiency and inadequate cleaning in current equipment. Utility Model Content

[0029] The following detailed, non-limiting description of the present invention, in conjunction with preferred embodiments and accompanying drawings, is provided. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0030] Please see Figure 1-6 The present invention provides a technical solution: an automatic cleaning device for a grinding tank 5, comprising a transmission component 1, a cleaning component 2 and a grinding tank 5.
[0031] Two ear plates 501 are fixed on the grinding jar 5, and ear holes 502 are provided on the two ear plates 501 for lifting the grinding jar 5.
[0032] The transmission assembly 1 includes a support 101, on which a conveyor belt 102 is fixed. The conveyor belt 102 includes a front conveyor belt and a rear conveyor belt, and a cleaning assembly 2 is disposed between the front conveyor belt and the rear conveyor belt.
[0033] The cleaning assembly 2 includes a base plate 201. A motor 202 is mounted on one side of the base plate 201. The output end of the motor 202 is fixed to the side wall of the base plate 201. The fixed end of the motor 202 is fixed above the bracket 101. A track 203 is provided on the base plate 201. A linear drive is provided in the track 203 to drive the track 203 to run. The track 203 and the conveyor belt 102 are on the same horizontal line, which facilitates the transfer of the grinding tank 5 to the rear conveyor belt after cleaning.
[0034] A support base 204 is provided on the other side of the base plate 201. The support base 204 is fixed above the bracket 101. A guide rail 205 is vertically fixed on the side of the support base 204 near the track 203. A sliding block 206 is slidably connected to the guide rail 205. A connecting shaft 2061 is fixed to the other end of the sliding block 206. A support plate 207 is rotatably connected to the other end of the connecting shaft 2061. The support plate 207 is opened near the connecting shaft 2061. The device has a mounting groove 2071, and the connecting shaft 2061 is rotatably connected in the mounting groove 2071. A second motor 2072 is fixed in the mounting groove 2071. A first gear 2073 is fixed at the output end of the second motor 2072. The first gear 2073 meshes with a second gear 2062. The second gear 2062 is fixed to the end of the connecting shaft 2061 near the second motor 2072. Semi-circular notches are symmetrically opened on the outer diameter of the second gear 2062 with the center of symmetry as the center.
[0035] When the semi-circular notch of gear 2062 rotates to gear 1 2073, the meshing between gear 2062 and gear 1 2073 is disengaged. Under the action of inertia, the connecting shaft 2061 continues to rotate for a period of time and then returns under the action of gravity. When the teeth of gear 2062 mesh with gear 1 2073 again, gear 1 2073 drives the connecting shaft 2061 to make relative movements, thereby causing the support plate 207 to vibrate.
[0036] By starting the second motor 2072, the first gear 2073 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the second gear 2062 to rotate, thereby causing the connecting shaft 2061 to rotate relative to it.
[0037] A cleaning cylinder 3 is fixed on the support plate 207; the cleaning cylinder 3 includes a cylinder body 301, a water flow channel 302 is opened through the center of the cylinder body 301, a sliding groove 303 is opened at one end of the cylinder body 301 near the bottom plate 201, the sliding groove 303 extends outward from the water flow channel 302, a water outlet terminal 304 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 303, the water outlet terminal 304 is adapted to the sliding groove 303 and the water flow channel 302, a channel 305 is opened inside the water outlet terminal 304, and the bottom of the water outlet terminal 304 is adapted to the water valve 212;
[0038] The water outlet terminal 304 has a second channel 306 on its outer diameter, which communicates with the first channel 305. A spring 307 and a cylinder 308 are fixed to the top of the water outlet terminal 304. A water storage channel 3081 is extended outward from the water flow channel 302. The water storage channel 3081 is located outside the cylinder 308. The spring 307 is located inside the cylinder 308. A flow block 309 is fixed above the spring 307. The flow block 309 is slidably connected to the water flow channel 302 and forms a seal with it. A third channel 310 is opened on the flow block 309. One end of the third channel 310 communicates with the water flow channel 302, and the other end communicates with the water storage channel 3081.
[0039] A telescopic rod 311 is fixed on the outer diameter of the cylinder 301. The telescopic rod 311 extends into the ear hole 502 to lift the grinding jar 5.
[0040] A guide rail 208 is fixed on the end face of the base plate 201, and a robotic arm 209 is slidably connected to the guide rail 208. The robotic arm 209 is used to clamp and fix the grinding jar 5.
[0041] A telescopic column 210 is fixed on the end face of the base plate 201. A cleaning plate 211 is snapped onto the output end of the telescopic column 210. A plurality of water passage holes 2111 are opened on the end face of the cleaning plate 211. The plurality of water passage holes 2111 are arranged in a circular hole group corresponding to the position of the grinding tank 5. A water valve 212 is opened on the cleaning plate 211. The water valve 212 is located at the center of the plurality of water passage holes 2111. An arc-shaped hole is opened on the periphery of the circular hole group. The arc-shaped hole is used for the passage of the ear plate 501.
[0042] A water tank 4 is provided directly below the track 203. The water tank 4 is fixed to the bracket 101. The water tank 4 is used to collect the cleaning fluid in the grinding tank 5 after it is turned over.
[0043] Working principle: When the grinding tank 5 needs to be cleaned, the grinding tank 5 to be cleaned is conveyed to the cleaning component 2 through the transmission component 1.
[0044] By driving the track 203, the grinding tank 5 is transported to the area directly below the water inlet 2111. The telescopic column 210 is activated to move the cleaning plate 211 toward the grinding tank 5. When the cleaning plate 211 contacts the grinding tank 5, the ear plate 501 is located in the arc-shaped hole, and the circular hole group corresponds to the filling position of the grinding tank 5. The telescopic column 210 is activated again. Due to the obstruction of the grinding tank 5, the position of the cleaning plate 211 remains unchanged, and the connection between the telescopic column 210 and the cleaning plate 211 is disconnected.
[0045] By activating guide rail 205, sliding block 206 drives support plate 207 to move toward cleaning plate 211. During the movement of support plate 207, when cleaning cylinder 3 contacts cleaning plate 211, guide rail 205 is stopped.
[0046] Cleaning fluid is injected into water flow channel 302, and the cleaning fluid enters water storage channel 3081 through channel 310.
[0047] As the cleaning cylinder 3 approaches the cleaning plate 211, when the water outlet terminal 304 contacts the water valve 212 and continues to move downward, a force is generated between the water outlet terminal 304 and the water valve 212. Under the action of the force, the water outlet terminal 304 moves upward relative to the cylinder 301. During the movement of the water outlet terminal 304, the second channel 306 and the water storage channel 3081 gradually become connected. The cleaning liquid in the water storage channel 3081 enters the interior of the grinding tank 5 through the second channel 306, the first channel 305 and the water valve 212.
[0048] Start the telescopic rod 311. The telescopic rod 311 extends and enters the ear hole 502 to fix the cylinder 301, the cleaning plate 211 and the grinding tank 5.
[0049] Restart guide rail 205, and slide block 206 moves support plate 207 in the opposite direction to cleaning plate 211. Start motor 2072 to drive gear 2073 to rotate, which in turn drives gear 2062 to rotate, thereby driving connecting shaft 2061 to rotate relative to it. During the rotation, when the semi-circular notch of gear 2062 rotates to gear 2073, the meshing between gear 2062 and gear 2073 is disengaged. Connecting shaft 2061 continues to rotate for a period of time under inertia and then returns under gravity. When the teeth of gear 2062 mesh with gear 2073 again, gear 2073 drives connecting shaft 2061 to move relative to it, thereby causing vibration of support plate 207, which cleans the inner wall of grinding tank 5 with cleaning fluid.
[0050] After cleaning, the grinding tank 5 is placed back on the track 203, the telescopic rod 311 is retracted, and the support plate 207 moves the cleaning cylinder 3 upward.
[0051] By activating guide rail 208, the robotic arm 209 is moved toward the grinding jar 5. When the robotic arm 209 contacts the grinding jar 5, the robotic arm 209 is activated to clamp and fix the grinding jar 5.
[0052] By starting the motor 202, the base plate 201 is rotated. After rotating 180 degrees, the cleaning liquid in the grinding tank 5 is poured out from the water hole 2111.
