[0037] This application provides an air conditioning filter cleaning device, including a feeding component 100, a discharging component 200, a conveying component 300, a cleaning component 400, and a drying component 500. The feeding component 100 has a discharging position, and the discharging component 200 is located downstream of the feeding component 100 and has a feeding position. The conveying component 300 is disposed between the discharging position and the feeding position and is used to transfer and convey the filter. The cleaning component 400 is disposed on the conveying path of the conveying component 300 and is disposed at the discharging position. The cleaning component 400 is used to clean the filter. The drying component 500 is located between the cleaning component 400 and the feeding position and dries the filter from the cleaning component 400.
[0038] Please see Figure 1 As shown, the filter screen is conveyed to its unloading position by the feeding component 100, that is, the filter screen is conveyed to the conveying component 300. Then, the conveying component 300 sequentially drives the filter screen through the cleaning component 400, the drying component 500, and the unloading component 200. First, the filter screen is cleaned by the cleaning component 400. In this embodiment, the cleaning component 400 uses water spray cleaning. Then, the filter screen after water spraying is dried by the drying component 500 to meet the usage requirements. Finally, the unloading component 200 dries and transports the filter screen.
[0039] Since filter screens come in various shapes, the most common being cylindrical and sheet-like, this embodiment mainly focuses on cleaning sheet-like filter screens. If it is necessary to dry cylindrical filter screens, only the carrier 340 of the conveying assembly 300 needs to be changed. The carrier 340 can support the cylindrical filter screen, so that the conveying assembly 300 can convey the cylindrical filter screen through the cleaning assembly 400, the drying assembly 500, and the unloading assembly 200 in sequence to achieve cleaning.
[0040] In this embodiment, the feeding component 100 and the unloading component 200 have the same structure and working principle. The feeding component 100 is used for feeding, and the unloading component 200 is used for unloading. It can be understood that in order to achieve unloading, the unloading process of the unloading component 200 is the reverse of the feeding process of the feeding component 100. Therefore, the feeding component 100 is used as an example here. Those skilled in the art can understand the unloading process of the unloading component 200 based on the structure and working principle of the feeding component 100.
[0041] In some embodiments, the feeding assembly 100 includes a mounting frame 110, the mounting frame 110 having a placement space 111, a conveying module 120 disposed on the mounting frame 110, a clamping member 130 disposed at the driven end of the conveying module 120, the conveying module 120 being used to drive the clamping member 130 to move within the area of the conveying module 120, and a feed member 140 containing a filter screen disposed in the placement space 111.
[0042] See Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the feeder 140 is a trolley with vertically placed sheet-like filter screens. The feeder 140 pushes the filter screens into the placement space 111. Then, with the transport module 120 driving the clamping member 130 to move, the clamping member 130 moves sequentially to each filter screen and clamps the filter screens. After clamping, the transport module 120 places the filter screens at the position of the conveying component 300. Then, the clamping member 130 releases the clamping member from the filter screens and places the filter screens on the conveying component 300, waiting for the conveying component 300 to drive the filter screens towards the cleaning component 400 for cleaning.
[0043] In this embodiment, the conveying module 120 can move in two directions, driving the clamping member 130 to move vertically and horizontally, and back and forth. For example, the conveying module 120 can be formed by combining two linear drive components. For instance, the back-and-forth movement can be achieved by a rack and pinion linear drive module, and the vertical movement can be achieved by a cylinder. For example, the clamping member 130 is a gripper cylinder, which clamps the sheet filter.
[0044] In some embodiments, a protective net 150 is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the mounting bracket 110.
[0045] Please continue reading. Figure 2 As shown, in order to prevent external personnel from getting injured when they approach the entire feeding assembly 100 during operation, a protective net 150 is installed on the outer periphery of the mounting frame 110 to block them and improve safety during operation.
[0046] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly 300 includes a conveying frame 310, which forms a receiving groove 311. A rotary drive 320 is provided on the conveying frame 310, and a conveying chain 330 is provided at the drive end of the rotary drive 320. The conveying chain 330 is located in the receiving groove 311, and a plurality of spaced carriers 340 are provided on the conveying chain 330.
[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, in order to convey the filter screen from the feeding component 100 to the washing component 400 and the drying component 500 in sequence through the conveying component 300 for washing and drying, conveying chains 330 are provided on both sides of the conveying frame 310, and the rotation drive component 320 drives the conveying chain 330 to rotate through the transmission shaft, thereby driving the carrier 340 connected to the conveying chain 330 to rotate, so as to realize the conveying of the filter screen placed on the carrier 340.
[0048] It should be noted that the inner bottom wall of the receiving tank 311 has a drain outlet for draining wastewater from the cleaning component 400 after cleaning; that is, the receiving tank 311 can be understood as a drain tank.
[0049] In some embodiments, the carrier 340 includes a connecting frame 341 connected to the conveyor chain 330. A ring 342 is fixedly disposed on the connecting frame 341. At least one first limiting groove 3421 is disposed on the ring 342. The first limiting groove 3421 is used to place the filter screen.
[0050] Please see Figure 4 As shown, the ring 342 is annular in shape. In order to make the sheet filter stand upright, two grooves are made from top to bottom in the ring 342. The two grooves form the first limiting groove 3421. After the sheet filter is placed in the first limiting groove 3421, the filter abuts against the inner wall of the first limiting groove 3421, thus making the filter stand upright, which is convenient for the subsequent cleaning component 400 to clean the filter.
[0051] In this embodiment, in order to improve cleaning efficiency, two rings 342 are formed on the ring 342, so that the entire carrier 340 can accommodate two filters.
[0052] In some embodiments, the connecting frame 341 includes a mounting rod 3411 connected to the conveying chain 330. At least one support rod 3412 is fixedly provided on the mounting rod 3411. The support rod 3412 is located at the first limiting groove 3421. Limiting rods 343 are provided at both ends of the support rod 3412. The side of the limiting rod 343 facing the first limiting groove 3421 is provided with a second limiting groove 3431.
[0053] Please continue reading. Figure 4 As shown, to ensure the support of two filter screens and to improve stability during transport, the two ends of the mounting rod 3411 are connected to the conveyor chains 330 on both sides in the receiving groove 311. Furthermore, support rods 3412 are provided on both sides of the mounting rod 3411 at the position of each first limiting groove 3421. To improve the stability of the entire frame, the two support rods 3412 on the same side are connected by a reinforcing rod 3413.
[0054] To further prevent the filter screen located in the first limiting groove 3421 from moving during cleaning, drying, and transfer, a limiting rod 343 is provided at the end of the support rod 3412 extending in the first limiting groove 3421. A second limiting groove 3431 is provided on the end face of the limiting rod 343 facing the first limiting groove 3421. After the filter screen is placed in the first limiting groove 3421, the frame of the filter screen will enter the second limiting groove 3431, thereby limiting the sheet filter screen.
[0055] In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 400 includes a cleaning housing 410, the cleaning housing 410 having a first receiving chamber 411, a first lifting drive member 420 being disposed on the top surface of the cleaning housing 410, a water pipe 430 extending into the first receiving chamber 411 being disposed on the first lifting drive member 420, a cleaning pipe 440 being disposed at the end of the water pipe 430, and a plurality of nozzles 441 being disposed on the cleaning pipe 440.
[0056] See Figure 5 As shown, after the conveying component 300 conveys the filter screen to the cleaning component 400, i.e., the filter screen is located in the first receiving chamber 411, the first lifting drive component 420 drives the water pipe 430 and the associated cleaning pipe 440 to move downward. During the downward movement, the nozzle 441 sprays water to clean the filter screen located in the first receiving chamber 411. When the cleaning pipe 440 descends to the bottom, the first lifting drive component 420 needs to drive the water pipe 430 and the cleaning pipe 440 to rise again to return to the initial position. During the process of rising to return to the initial position, the nozzle 441 will continue to spray water to clean the filter screen located in the first receiving chamber 411.
[0057] In this embodiment, the drying component 500 includes a blowing component 510 and a drying component 520. The blowing component 510 blows away the water on the filter screen, and then the drying component 520 dries the filter screen with air at a certain temperature. Thus, the two components work together to achieve rapid drying of the filter screen.
[0058] In some embodiments, the drying assembly 500 includes a blower assembly 510, which includes a first drying housing 511 having a second receiving chamber 5111. At least one blower 512 is provided on the peripheral surface of the first drying housing 511, and the blower 512 has a blower nozzle 513 at its air outlet, which extends into the second receiving chamber 5111.
[0059] Please see Figure 6 As shown, when it is necessary to initially blow air on the filter, the conveying component 300 needs to convey the filter to the position of the blowing component 510. Even if the filter is located in the second receiving chamber 5111, the blower 512 can be activated to blow air onto the filter in the second receiving chamber 5111, which will blow away the water on the filter and dry it to a certain extent.
[0060] In this embodiment, in order to improve the drying efficiency, two blowers 512 are provided on both sides of the first drying housing 511, and the nozzles 513 of each blower 512 are aligned with different positions of the filter screen to evenly dry the filter screen with air.
[0061] In some embodiments, the drying assembly 500 further includes a drying assembly 520, which includes a second drying housing 521. A hot air blower 522 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the second drying housing 521, and the air outlet of the hot air blower 522 is in communication with the interior of the second drying housing 521.
[0062] See Figure 1 As shown, air is heated by a hot air blower 522 and delivered to the inside of the second drying housing 521. The filter screen inside is dried by the high-temperature air, thus completing the drying of the filter screen.
[0063] In this embodiment, the model and type of hot air blower 522 are not limited, and can be selected and used according to the working conditions in practice.
[0064] To prevent interference between different areas, a sealing control component 600 is installed at the inlet and outlet of the cleaning component 400, the inlet and outlet of the blowing component 510, and the inlet and outlet of the drying component 520, thereby separating the cleaning component 400 from the feeding component 100, the cleaning component 400 from the blowing component 510, the blowing component 510 from the drying component 520, and the drying component 520 from the unloading component 200.
[0065] Specifically, the air conditioning filter cleaning equipment also includes a closed control component 600, which includes a second lifting drive component 610, and the driven end of the second lifting drive component 610 is provided with a closed plate 620.
[0066] When separation is required, the second lifting drive 610 can drive the closing plate 620 to descend to achieve separation. Similarly, when two adjacent components need to be connected, the second lifting drive 610 can drive the closing plate 620 to rise to achieve connection.
