Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a cleaning device for hair cutters. Background Technology

[0002] A hair clipper is a tool used for trimming and removing hair. After daily use, it is usually necessary to clean the hair residue and foam cleaner from the surface of the clipper's blade assembly. Currently, this is mostly done manually by holding the clipper and rinsing it directly under a tap, which is time-consuming and laborious.

[0003] To address this, the industry has introduced cleaning devices for cleaning the blade assembly of hair cutters. Examples include the electric shaver cleaner disclosed in Chinese Patent CN101138449A, a circulating cleaning seat for cleaning shavers disclosed in Chinese Patent CN219880731U, and a shaver cleaning base disclosed in Chinese Patent CN119279328B. These devices can clean and dry the blade assembly of hair cutters. However, the internal structures of these cleaning devices are quite complex, making maintenance difficult and hindering assembly during production, resulting in low production efficiency. Furthermore, the complexity of the structure also leads to higher costs for the cleaning devices. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present invention aims to solve the technical problem of complex structure of existing cleaning devices and provide a cleaning device for a hair cutter with a simple structure.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] The present invention discloses a cleaning device for a hair cutter, comprising a cleaning tank, a liquid storage tank, and a liquid delivery and air supply mechanism; the cleaning tank includes a water inlet and a drain outlet, the drain outlet being connected to the liquid storage tank; the liquid delivery and air supply mechanism includes a drive mechanism, an air supply component, and a liquid delivery component, the air supply component and the liquid delivery component being respectively connected to the drive mechanism; when the drive mechanism outputs a first directional rotational movement, the drive mechanism drives the liquid delivery component to rotate to inject cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank through the water inlet of the cleaning tank; when the drive mechanism outputs a second directional rotational movement, the drive mechanism drives the air supply component to rotate to blow air into the cleaning tank;

[0007] Alternatively, when the drive mechanism outputs rotational motion in the first direction, the drive mechanism drives the infusion component to rotate so as to inject cleaning fluid into the cleaning tank through the water inlet of the cleaning tank, or drives the air supply component to rotate so as to blow air into the cleaning tank.

[0008] The cleaning device for a hair cutter described in this utility model can drive the operation of the air supply component and the liquid delivery component through a single drive mechanism. This avoids the need for separate drive structures for the air supply component and the liquid delivery component in the prior art, greatly simplifying the internal structure of the cleaning device, reducing the difficulty of later maintenance, facilitating assembly in the production process, and increasing production efficiency. At the same time, the simple structure also reduces the cost of the cleaning device.

[0009] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a first output shaft, which is connected to both an infusion component and an air supply component.

The first output shaft is connected to the infusion component, and the second output shaft is connected to the air supply component. The second output shaft and the air supply component are connected via a clutch. When the second output shaft rotates in a first direction, the clutch disconnects the second output shaft from the air supply component. When the second output shaft rotates in a second direction, the second output shaft drives the air supply component to rotate via the clutch to blow air into the cleaning tank. The infusion component includes a rotating rod connected to the first output shaft. A spiral side plate is wound around the side wall of the rotating rod along the axial direction of the rotating rod. The air supply component includes a sleeve rod connected to the second output shaft. Multiple fan blades are spaced apart along the circumference of the sleeve rod.

The first output shaft is connected to the infusion device, and the second output shaft is connected to the air supply device. The first output shaft and the infusion device, as well as the second output shaft and the air supply device, are respectively connected by clutches. When it is necessary to inject cleaning fluid into the cleaning tank, the clutch between the second output shaft and the air supply device is disengaged, and the first output shaft rotates in a first direction to drive the infusion device to rotate and inject cleaning fluid into the cleaning tank. When it is necessary to blow air into the cleaning tank, the clutch between the first output shaft and the infusion device is disengaged, and the second output shaft rotates in a first direction to drive the air supply device to rotate and blow air into the cleaning tank.

[0014] Furthermore, the liquid delivery and air supply mechanism also includes a liquid delivery sleeve, which is sleeved on the lower section of the liquid delivery component. A stepped hole is provided inside the liquid delivery sleeve, and the lower section of the liquid delivery component is inserted into the stepped hole. The portion of the liquid delivery component inserted into the stepped hole is in clearance fit with the stepped hole.

[0026] To facilitate understanding of this utility model, a more comprehensive description of this utility model will be given below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to and integrated with the other component, or there may be an intervening component present. The terms "mounted," "one end," "the other end," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] Example 1

[0030] This utility model specifically provides an embodiment of a cleaning device for a hair cutter. See [link to embodiment]. Figure 1-3B The system includes a cleaning tank 1, a liquid storage tank 2, and a liquid delivery and air supply mechanism. The liquid delivery and air supply mechanism includes a drive mechanism 3, an air supply component 4, and a liquid delivery component. The air supply component 4 and the liquid delivery component are respectively connected to the drive mechanism 3. The drive mechanism 3 can be a motor capable of forward and reverse rotation, a servo motor capable of forward and reverse rotation, etc. The first direction rotational motion mentioned below can be the forward rotation direction of the drive mechanism 3 or the reverse rotation direction of the drive mechanism 3. The second direction rotational motion can be the forward rotation direction of the drive mechanism 3 or the reverse rotation direction of the drive mechanism 3, but the premise is that the first direction rotational motion and the second direction rotational motion are opposite in direction. When the drive mechanism 3 outputs the first direction rotational motion, the drive mechanism 3 drives the liquid delivery component to rotate to inject cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank 1. When the drive mechanism 3 outputs the second direction rotational motion, the drive mechanism 3 drives the air supply component 4 to rotate to blow air into the cleaning tank 1. When cleaning the hair cutter's blade assembly is required, the hair cutter can be inverted and its blade assembly inserted into the cleaning tank 1. Cleaning fluid is injected into the cleaning tank 1 to rinse or soak the hair cutter's blade assembly. After cleaning, the cleaning fluid is drained from the cleaning tank 1, and then the air supply component 4 is used to dry the cleaning tank 1 and the blade assembly. In this embodiment, a single drive mechanism 3 can drive the operation of the air supply component 4 and the fluid delivery component, thus avoiding the need for separate drive structures for the air supply component 4 and the fluid delivery component in existing technologies. This significantly simplifies the internal structure of the cleaning device, reduces maintenance difficulty, facilitates assembly during production, and increases production efficiency. Furthermore, the simple structure also reduces the cost of the cleaning device.

[0031] In this embodiment, see Figure 1-3BThe tank body 32 of the cleaning tank 1 is provided with a water inlet 5 and a drain outlet 6 on its tank wall. The height of the water inlet 5 is higher than that of the drain outlet 6, and the diameter of the water inlet 5 is larger than that of the drain outlet 6, so that cleaning fluid can accumulate in the tank body 32 of the cleaning tank 1 for soaking or rinsing the blade head. In this embodiment, a rubber stopper or valve can also be provided at the drain outlet 6 to block the drain outlet 6, so that cleaning fluid can be placed in the cleaning tank 1 for soaking and cleaning the blade head assembly. This can soak away foam or hair debris on the surface of the blade head assembly. After cleaning, the cleaning fluid can be drained by removing the rubber stopper or opening the valve. The valve can be either electric or manual. When an electric valve is used, it is electrically connected to the control module of the cleaning device. The control module controls the drive mechanism 3 and the electric valve to achieve automatic cleaning and drying of the cutter head assembly. Alternatively, a rubber stopper or valve seal can be omitted at the drain outlet 6. Since the diameter of the inlet 5 is larger than the diameter of the drain outlet 6, the water inflow rate will be greater than the drainage rate. In this case, a certain amount of cleaning solution will always be maintained in the cleaning tank 1. Continuous water intake can rinse the cutter head assembly, removing foam or hair debris from its surface. See also... Figure 2-3B An overflow outlet 7 can be installed on the wall of the cleaning tank 1 to prevent the cleaning solution from overflowing outside the cleaning device when the cleaning tank 1 is full. Both the drain outlet 6 and the overflow outlet 7 in the cleaning tank 1 are connected to the storage tank 2. The cleaning solution discharged from the drain outlet 6 and the cleaning solution discharged from the overflow outlet 7 are filtered by the filter assembly before flowing into the storage tank 2. The filter assembly filters out impurities and hair debris in the cleaning solution, so that the cleaning solution in the storage tank 2 can be recycled, saving costs. The cleaning device includes a housing 8, inside which a partition 9 is installed. A liquid storage tank 2 is located below the partition 9, and a filter assembly is located inside the liquid storage tank 2. A cleaning tank 1 is located above the partition 9. A drain outlet 6 on the cleaning tank 1 passes through the partition 9 and extends above the filter assembly below the partition 9. An overflow pipe 10 is installed inside the housing 8, specifically on the wall of the cleaning tank 1. One end of the overflow pipe 10 is connected to the overflow outlet 7 on the cleaning tank 1, and the other end also passes through the partition 9 and extends above the filter assembly below the partition 9. A heating module 11 is installed between the bottom of the cleaning tank 1 and the partition 9. The heating module 11 can be installed on the outer wall of the cleaning tank 1 to facilitate heating of the cleaning tank 1 wall, which, together with the air supply component 4, quickly dries the tank wall and the blade assembly. See also Figure 2-3B The filtration assembly includes a filter element mounting base 12 disposed in the liquid storage tank 2, and a filter element 13 disposed on the filter element mounting base 12. The filter element 13 can be a filter screen or a filter membrane, etc. In this embodiment, a vibration module, such as an ultrasonic vibration module, can also be disposed on the outer wall surface of the cleaning tank 1. When cleaning the blade assembly, the vibration of the vibration module can more easily shake off hair and debris from the surface of the blade assembly and let them fall into the cleaning liquid, flowing out of the cleaning tank 1 with the cleaning liquid.

[0032] In the preferred embodiment, see Figure 2-3B The drive mechanism 3 includes a first output shaft, which is connected to both the infusion unit and the air supply unit 4, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the drive mechanism 3 is located in the upper part of the housing 8, with its output axis pointing downwards, and is connected in sequence to the air supply component 4 and the liquid delivery component. The liquid delivery component includes a rotating rod 14 connected to the first output shaft, and a spiral side plate 15 is wound around the side wall of the rotating rod 14 along its axial direction. The air supply component 4 includes a sleeve rod 16 connected to the first output shaft, and multiple fan blades 17 are spaced apart along the circumference of the sleeve rod 16. See [reference needed]. Figure 4 The fan blade 17 is arc-shaped or twisted, and the direction of bending or twisting of the fan blade 17 is opposite to the direction of rotation of the helical side plate 15; when the fan blade 17 is arc-shaped, if the helical side plate 15 is a right-handed structure, then the direction of bending of the fan blade 17 is to the left, such as... Figure 2-4 As shown; if the spiral side plate 15 is a left-handed structure, then the fan blade 17 bends to the right; when the fan blade 17 is twisted, if the spiral side plate 15 is a right-handed structure, then the fan blade 17 twists to the left, as shown. Figure 2-4As shown; if the spiral side plate 15 is a left-handed structure, then the fan blade 17 twists to the right. By making the bending or twisting direction of the fan blade 17 opposite to the rotation direction of the spiral side plate 15, when the drive mechanism 3 outputs a first-direction rotational motion, the direction of this first rotational motion is the same as the rotation direction of the spiral side plate 15, but opposite to the bending or twisting direction of the fan blade 17. At this time, the spiral side plate 15 can deliver the cleaning fluid upward and deliver the cleaning fluid to the cleaning tank 1, but the wind force generated by the fan blade 17 is very weak and will not send air into the cleaning tank 1. When the drive mechanism 3 outputs a second-direction rotational motion, the direction of this second rotational motion is the same as the bending or twisting direction of the fan blade 17, but opposite to the rotation direction of the spiral side plate 15. At this time, although the spiral side plate 15 also rotates, it cannot deliver the cleaning fluid upward, and therefore cannot deliver the cleaning fluid to the cleaning tank 1. However, the fan blade 17 can generate wind force and send air into the cleaning tank 1. With this structural design, one drive mechanism 3 can simultaneously drive the operation of two functional components, resulting in a compact and simple structure. The air supplied by the air supply component 4 also enters the cleaning tank 1 through the water inlet 5 on the cleaning tank 1, avoiding the need to open an additional air outlet on the tank wall of the cleaning tank 1; a grille 18 is provided on the side wall of the outer casing 8, which not only provides heat dissipation but also provides an air exchange channel for the normal operation of the air supply component 4. This utility model also provides another embodiment in which a driving mechanism 3 drives two functional components to operate. The driving mechanism 3 may include a first output shaft and a second output shaft. The first output shaft is connected to the infusion component, and the second output shaft is connected to the air supply component 4. The infusion component includes a rotating rod 14 connected to the first output shaft. A spiral side plate 15 is wound around the side wall of the rotating rod 14 along the axial direction of the rotating rod 14. The air supply component 4 includes a sleeve rod 16 connected to the second output shaft. A plurality of fan blades 17 are spaced apart along the circumference of the sleeve rod 16. The fan blades 17 are arc-shaped or twisted. The bending direction of the fan blades 17 is opposite to the rotation direction of the spiral side plate 15. The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that the driving mechanism 3 is located between the infusion component and the air supply component 4.This utility model also provides another embodiment of a drive mechanism 3 driving two functional components. The drive mechanism 3 includes a first output shaft and a second output shaft. The first output shaft is connected to the infusion component, and the second output shaft is connected to the air supply component 4. The second output shaft and the air supply component 4 are connected via a clutch. When the second output shaft rotates in a first direction, the clutch disengages the second output shaft from the air supply component 4. When the second output shaft rotates in a second direction, the second output shaft drives the air supply component 4 to rotate via the clutch to blow air into the cleaning tank 1. The infusion component includes a rotating rod 14 connected to the first output shaft. A spiral side plate 15 is provided on the side wall of the rotating rod 14 and wound around the axial direction of the rotating rod 14. The air supply component 4 includes a sleeve rod 16 connected to the second output shaft. Multiple fan blades 17 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the sleeve rod 16. The fan blades 17 are arc-shaped or twisted. The bending direction of the fan blades 17 is opposite to the rotation direction of the spiral side plate 15. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the drive mechanism 3 is located between the liquid infusion component and the air supply component 4, and a clutch is provided between the air supply component 4 and the second output shaft. At this time, when the liquid infusion component delivers cleaning fluid, it is not necessary to drive the air supply component 4 to run, which can reduce the load and save energy.

[0033] In the preferred embodiment, see Figure 2-3B The liquid delivery and air supply mechanism also includes an outer sleeve 19 surrounding the outside of the infusion unit. The spiral side plate 15 of the infusion unit is located inside the outer sleeve 19. A water outlet 20 is provided on the side wall of the outer sleeve 19, which communicates with the cleaning tank 1. The bottom end of the outer sleeve 19 extends into the liquid storage tank 2. By setting the outer sleeve 19, a transmission space is defined for the cleaning fluid being transported, enabling the cleaning fluid to be quickly delivered to the cleaning tank 1.

[0034] In the preferred embodiment, see Figure 2-3B The liquid delivery and air supply mechanism also includes an infusion sleeve 21, which is fitted onto the lower section of the infusion component. A stepped hole is provided inside the sleeve 21, into which the lower section of the infusion component is inserted, with a clearance fit between the inserted portion and the stepped hole. An elastic element 22, which can be a spring, is fitted onto the outer side of the infusion component, with one end abutting against the stepped surface of the stepped hole. Because the portion of the infusion component inserted into the stepped hole has a clearance fit, the rotation of the infusion component is unrestricted and friction is eliminated. The cooperation between the sleeve 21 and the infusion component enables positioning of the infusion component, ensuring stable operation during rotation. The support provided by the elastic element 22 further prevents friction between the infusion component and the sleeve 21.

[0035] In the preferred embodiment, see Figure 2-3BThe liquid delivery and air supply mechanism also includes a base 23, which is disposed in the liquid storage tank 2. A neck 24 is provided on the base 23, and at least a portion of the infusion sleeve 21 is inserted into the neck 24, with a clearance fit between the portion of the infusion sleeve 21 inserted into the neck 24 and the neck 24. A water inlet 25 is provided on the base 23, which communicates with the interior of the outer sleeve 19. The base 23 secures the infusion sleeve 21, preventing it from detaching from the infusion unit. The clearance fit between the portion of the infusion sleeve 21 inserted into the neck 24 and the neck 24 prevents friction between them, and the positioning of the infusion sleeve 21 further positions the infusion unit.

[0036] In the preferred embodiment, see Figure 2-3B The neck 24 is located on the bottom surface of the base 23, which suspends the bottom surface of the base 23. The water inlet 25 is located on the bottom surface of the base 23. This structure allows the water inlet 25 to be positioned on the bottom surface of the base 23, facilitating the rapid intake of cleaning fluid.

[0037] In the preferred embodiment, see Figure 2 The outer wall of the infusion sleeve 21 is fitted with the bottom surface of the base 23 by a limiting structure. In this embodiment, a limiting protrusion 26 is provided in the base 23, and a stepped surface is provided on the outer wall of the infusion sleeve 21. The limiting protrusion 26 and the stepped surface on the outer wall of the infusion sleeve 21 are fitted together to prevent the infusion sleeve 21 from detaching from the base 23.

[0038] In the preferred embodiment, see Figure 2-3B A limiting hole 27 is provided on the side wall of the base 23, and a protrusion 28 is provided on the side wall of the outer sleeve 19. When the base 23 is fitted onto the outer sleeve 19, the protrusion 28 is inserted into the limiting hole 27. In this embodiment, an upwardly extending ear plate 29 is provided at the end of the outer sleeve 19, and a limiting hole 27 is provided on the ear plate 29. At the same time, a guide slope 30 inclined from the outside to the inside is provided on the top side wall of the ear plate 29. The bottom surface of the protrusion 28 on the outer sleeve 19 and the outer side wall of the bottom end of the outer sleeve 19 are both set as slopes. When the outer sleeve 19 is inserted into the base 23, the slope on the outer side wall of the bottom end of the outer sleeve 19 cooperates with the guide slope 30 on the ear plate 29 of the base 23, which is beneficial to the outer sleeve 19. The protrusion 28 on the outer wall of the outer sleeve 19 is inserted, and then the bottom surface of the protrusion 28 on the ear plate 29 engages with the guide slope 30, causing the ear plate 29 to elastically deform, facilitating the insertion of the protrusion 28. Subsequently, the ear plate 29 elastically returns to its original position, allowing the protrusion 28 to insert into the limiting hole 27 on the ear plate 29. Simultaneously, the wall of the limiting hole 27 on the ear plate 29 contacts and engages with the top surface of the protrusion 28, preventing the outer sleeve 19 from separating from the base 23, thereby indirectly connecting the infusion sleeve 21 to the outer sleeve 19. Through the above structure, the base 23, outer sleeve 19, and infusion sleeve 21 can be quickly assembled.

[0039] In the preferred embodiment, see Figure 2-3B The outer sleeve 19 has a connecting part 31 on its side wall, which is sealed to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. The water outlet 20 is located above the connecting part 31. Specifically, the cleaning tank 1 includes a tank body 32, a drive mechanism mounting position, and a liquid and air supply mechanism mounting position. The bottom end of the cleaning tank 1 is assembled and connected to the partition plate 9. A ventilation opening 33 corresponding to the grille 18 on the outer shell 8 is provided on the wall of the cleaning tank 1. The connecting part 31 and the air supply component 4 on the side wall of the outer sleeve 19 are located in the liquid and air supply mechanism mounting position. The side wall of the connecting part 31 is provided with an annular sealing groove. A sealing ring 34 is fitted in the annular sealing groove. A portion of the sealing ring 34 protrudes outside the annular sealing groove. Through compression deformation, a sealed connection is achieved between the connecting part 31 and the wall of the cleaning tank 1. Through the sealed connection between the connecting part 31 and the cleaning tank 1, a sealed waterless space is formed in the space below the connecting part 31 of the cleaning tank 1. The heating module 11 and the vibration module can be installed in this space to avoid malfunctions when exposed to water. In this embodiment, the unique design of the liquid and air supply mechanism allows the air supply component 4 to supply air into the tank 32 through the water inlet 5, avoiding the need to open too many through holes in the tank 32 and ensuring the structural strength of the cleaning tank 1.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] This utility model also provides another embodiment of a cleaning device for a hair cutter, including a cleaning tank 1, a liquid storage tank 2, and a liquid and air supply mechanism. The liquid and air supply mechanism includes a drive mechanism 3, an air supply component 4, and a liquid delivery component, with the air supply component 4 and the liquid delivery component respectively connected to the drive mechanism 3. The drive mechanism 3 can be a motor capable of forward and reverse rotation, a servo motor capable of forward and reverse rotation, etc. The first direction rotational motion mentioned below can be the forward rotation direction of the drive mechanism 3 or the reverse rotation direction of the drive mechanism 3. When the drive mechanism 3 outputs the first direction rotational motion, the drive mechanism 3 drives the liquid delivery component to rotate to inject cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank 1 or drives the air supply component 4 to rotate to blow air into the cleaning tank 1. When it is necessary to clean the hair cutter's blade assembly, the hair cutter can be placed upside down so that its blade assembly is inserted into the cleaning tank 1. By injecting cleaning liquid into the cleaning tank 1, the hair cutter's blade assembly can be rinsed or soaked. After cleaning, the cleaning liquid is discharged from the cleaning tank 1, and then the cleaning tank 1 and the blade assembly are dried by the operation of the air supply component 4. In this embodiment, a single drive mechanism 3 can drive the operation of the air supply component 4 and the infusion component, thus avoiding the need for separate drive structures for the air supply component 4 and the infusion component as in the prior art. This significantly simplifies the internal structure of the cleaning device, reduces maintenance difficulty, facilitates assembly during production, and increases production efficiency. Furthermore, the simple structure also reduces the cost of the cleaning device. Alternatively, when the drive mechanism 3 outputs rotational motion in the first direction, it drives the infusion component to rotate to inject cleaning fluid into the cleaning tank 1 or drives the air supply component 4 to rotate to blow air into the cleaning tank 1.

[0042] The difference between this embodiment and the aforementioned Embodiment 1 is that the drive mechanism 3 only outputs rotational motion in the first direction. Specifically, the drive mechanism 3 includes a first output shaft and a second output shaft. The first output shaft is connected to the infusion component, and the second output shaft is connected to the air supply component 4. The first output shaft and the infusion component, as well as the second output shaft and the air supply component 4, are respectively connected by clutches. When it is necessary to inject cleaning fluid into the cleaning tank 1, the clutch between the second output shaft and the air supply component 4 is disengaged, and the first output shaft rotates in the first direction to drive the infusion component to rotate and inject cleaning fluid into the cleaning tank 1. When it is necessary to blow air into the cleaning tank 1, the clutch between the first output shaft and the infusion component is disengaged, and the second output shaft rotates in the first direction to drive the air supply component 4 to rotate and blow air into the cleaning tank 1.

[0043] Apart from the differences mentioned above, the other structures in this embodiment are at least the same as those in Embodiment 1.

[0044] The connection between the output shaft and the clutch in Embodiments 1 and 2 above is prior art and is not the inventive point of this utility model.

[0045] Example 3

[0046] This utility model also provides a specific embodiment of a cleaning method, specifically a cleaning method for a hair cutter cleaning device. First, the drive mechanism 3 outputs a first-direction rotational motion and drives the infusion component to rotate. During the rotation of the infusion component, cleaning fluid is delivered and injected into the cleaning tank 1 to rinse or soak the blade assembly to be cleaned. Next, the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank 1 is discharged, and the drive mechanism 3 outputs a second-direction rotational motion and drives the air supply component 4 to rotate. The air supply component 4 blows air into the cleaning tank 1 to dry the cleaned blade assembly. Alternatively, first, the drive mechanism 3 outputs a first-direction rotational motion and drives the infusion component to rotate. During the rotation of the infusion component, cleaning fluid is delivered and injected into the cleaning tank 1 to rinse or soak the blade assembly to be cleaned. Next, the cleaning fluid in the cleaning tank 1 is discharged, and the drive mechanism 3 again outputs a first-direction rotational motion and drives the air supply component 4 to rotate. The air supply component 4 blows air into the cleaning tank 1 to dry the cleaned blade assembly.

[0047] This cleaning method uses the same drive mechanism 3 to drive the infusion unit and the air supply unit 4, which makes the cleaning control method simple and also simplifies the internal structure of the cleaning device using this method. It is easy to maintain in the later stage, which is conducive to the assembly in the production process and has high production efficiency. At the same time, due to its simple structure, it also reduces the cost of the cleaning device.
