Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of sealant processing equipment, specifically a self-cleaning mechanism for a sealant processing device. Background Technology
[0002] Sealant is a sealing material that deforms to conform to the shape of the sealing surface, does not flow easily, and has a certain degree of adhesion. It is an adhesive used to fill gaps in a structure to achieve a sealing effect. It has functions such as preventing leakage, waterproofing, vibration damping, sound insulation, and heat insulation.
[0003] Existing sealant processing typically requires the use of a stirring device, and in order to drain the sealant from the device after use, a scraper is usually installed on the stirring device, such as Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN218654091U, which specifically discloses a sealant processing device.
[0004] However, in actual use, it has been found that existing sealant processing equipment is difficult to clean thoroughly without the use of cleaning fluid and by simply using a scraper to clean the inner wall of the equipment. Sealant residue is easily left on the inner wall of the equipment, resulting in poor cleaning effect. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a self-cleaning mechanism for a sealant processing device, which solves the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a self-cleaning mechanism for a sealant processing device, comprising a tank, a tank cover, a mixing component, a cleaning component, and a lifting component.
[0007] The can lid is fixed above the can body, the mixing component is located inside the can body and is mounted on the can lid, the cleaning component is located inside the can lid, the lifting component is located outside the can body and is connected to the cleaning component.
[0008] The mixing assembly includes a drive motor, a rotating rod, a stirring blade, and a scraper. The drive motor is fixed to the tank lid, the rotating rod is fixed to the drive shaft of the drive motor, the stirring blade is fixed to the side wall of the rotating rod, and the scraper is fixed to the end of the rotating rod, with the scraper in contact with the inner wall of the tank. The drive motor rotates the rotating rod, and while the stirring blade agitates the sealant material, the scraper cleans the inner wall of the tank, preventing the sealant material from adhering to the inner wall.
[0009] The cleaning assembly includes a water distribution pipe and a connecting pipe. Several spray nozzles are located below the water distribution pipe. The connecting pipe is connected to the water distribution pipe and passes through the tank lid. A water inlet is connected to the connecting pipe near its top. Cleaning fluid is injected into the connecting pipe and sprayed out by the spray nozzles of the water distribution pipe to rinse the inside of the tank. A scraper further cleans the inner wall of the tank, improving the cleaning effect.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the lifting assembly includes a fixed plate, a telescopic motor, a support frame, and a connecting rod. The fixed plate is fixed to the outer wall of the tank, the telescopic motor is fixed above the fixed plate, the support frame is fixed to the output end of the telescopic motor, and the support frame is L-shaped. The connecting rod is fixed to the end of the support frame, passes through the tank cover, and connects to the water distribution pipe. The telescopic motor drives the support frame to move up and down, causing the support frame to lift the water distribution pipe via the connecting rod, thereby adjusting the height of the water distribution pipe and allowing it to rinse the inner wall of the tank at different heights.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the tank body has an inlet located near the top side and an outlet located at the bottom. Both the inlet and outlet are equipped with valves. The inlet is used to add sealant material, and the outlet is used to discharge the mixed sealant material. The outlet can also be used to discharge the cleaning liquid after use.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the water distribution pipe is annular, and the nozzles are arranged in a circular array below the water distribution pipe. This allows the nozzles to evenly rinse the inner wall of the tank.
[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, both the water distribution pipe and the connecting pipe are made of stainless steel, with the top end of the connecting pipe fixed to a support frame. Fixing the connecting pipe to the support frame further improves the stability of the water distribution pipe during lifting and lowering, and the stainless steel cleaning components enhance corrosion resistance.
[0014] Preferably, the distance between the stirring blade and the scraper is greater than the diameter of the water distribution pipe. This prevents the stirring blade and scraper from affecting the raising and lowering of the water distribution pipe.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] This invention utilizes a scraper integrated into the stirring shaft to automatically clean the tank wall during production, significantly reducing the accumulation of deposits. A dedicated spray system and a liftable design automate deep cleaning, greatly reducing the workload of manual disassembly and cleaning, and minimizing downtime. The lifting assembly drives the spray system up and down, ensuring that the entire height of the tank wall is rinsed, completely eliminating blind spots in cleaning. Attached Figure Description

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0025] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: a self-cleaning mechanism for a sealant processing device, including a tank body 1, a tank cover 2, a mixing component 3, a cleaning component 4, and a lifting component 5.
[0026] The can lid 2 is fixed above the can body 1. The mixing component 3 is located inside the can body 1 and is installed on the can lid 2. The cleaning component 4 is located inside the can lid 2. The lifting component 5 is located outside the can body 1 and is connected to the cleaning component 4.
[0027] The mixing assembly 3 includes a drive motor 301, a rotating rod 302, a stirring blade 303, and a scraper 304. The drive motor 301 is fixed to the tank cover 2, the rotating rod 302 is fixed to the drive shaft of the drive motor 301, the stirring blade 303 is fixed to the side wall of the rotating rod 302, and the scraper 304 is fixed to the end of the rotating rod 302, with the scraper 304 in contact with the inner wall of the tank 1. As the drive motor 301 drives the rotating rod 302 to rotate, the stirring blade 303 stirs the sealant material, while the scraper 304 cleans the inner wall of the tank 1, preventing the sealant material from adhering to the inner wall of the tank 1.
[0028] The cleaning component 4 includes a water distribution pipe 401 and a connecting pipe 402. Several spray nozzles are located below the water distribution pipe 401. The connecting pipe 402 is connected to the water distribution pipe 401 and passes through the tank cover 2. A water inlet 4021 is connected to the connecting pipe 402 near its top. By injecting cleaning fluid into the connecting pipe 402, the spray nozzles of the water distribution pipe 401 spray the fluid to rinse the inside of the tank 1. The scraper 304 further cleans the inner wall of the tank 1, improving the cleaning effect.
[0029] Furthermore, the lifting assembly 5 includes a fixed plate 501, a telescopic motor 502, a support frame 503, and a connecting rod 504. The fixed plate 501 is fixed to the outer wall of the tank 1. The telescopic motor 502 is fixed above the fixed plate 501. The support frame 503 is fixed to the output end of the telescopic motor 502 and is L-shaped. The connecting rod 504 is fixed to the end of the support frame 503 and passes through the tank cover 2 and connects to the water distribution pipe 401. The telescopic motor 502 pushes the support frame 503 to move up and down, causing the support frame 503 to drive the water distribution pipe 401 to rise and fall via the connecting rod 504, thereby adjusting the height of the water distribution pipe 401 so that the water distribution pipe 401 can rinse the inner wall of the tank 1 at different heights.
[0030] Furthermore, the tank body 1 has an inlet 101 located near the top on its side, and an outlet 102 located at the bottom of the tank body 1. Both the inlet 101 and the outlet 102 are equipped with valves. The inlet 101 is used to add sealant material, and the outlet 102 is used to discharge the mixed sealant material. The outlet 102 can also be used to discharge the cleaning liquid after use.
[0031] Furthermore, the water distribution pipe 401 is annular, and the nozzles 4011 are arranged in a ring below the water distribution pipe 401. This allows the nozzles 4011 to evenly rinse the inner wall of the tank 1.
[0032] Furthermore, both the water distribution pipe 401 and the connecting pipe 402 are made of stainless steel, with the top end of the connecting pipe 402 fixed to the support frame 503. By fixing the connecting pipe 402 to the support frame 503, the stability of the water distribution pipe 401 during lifting can be further improved, and the stainless steel cleaning component 4 enhances corrosion resistance.
[0033] Furthermore, the distance between the stirring blade 303 and the scraper 304 is greater than the diameter of the water distribution pipe 401. This is to prevent the stirring blade 303 and the scraper 304 from affecting the raising and lowering of the water distribution pipe 401.
[0034] In summary, during operation, the drive motor 301 starts, causing the rotating rod 302 to rotate. The stirring blades 303 stir and mix the sealant material inside the tank 1. Simultaneously, the scraper 304, fixed to the end of the rotating rod 302, rotates close to the inner wall of the tank 1, scraping off any sealant material that may have adhered to the tank wall during stirring, preventing long-term accumulation and achieving preliminary cleaning while production is underway. The mixed sealant material can be discharged through the outlet 102. When a deeper cleaning of the inner wall of the tank 1 is required, cleaning fluid (such as clean water or a cleaning agent solution) is injected into the connecting pipe 402 through the water inlet 4021 of the cleaning component 4. The cleaning fluid flows through the connecting pipe 402 into the annular water distribution pipe 401. The cleaning fluid is sprayed from the annular array of spray nozzles below the water distribution pipe 401, forming a water curtain or flow that washes the inner wall and internal space of the tank 1. The drive motor 301 continues to rotate the scraper 304 (at this time, it may not stir the material or residual liquid). The scraper 304 "scrapes" the sprayed water over the tank wall and physically removes stubborn residues, greatly improving the flushing and dissolving effect of the sprayed water. During the cleaning process, the telescopic motor 502 of the lifting assembly 5 starts, pushing the L-shaped support frame 503 up and down. The support frame 503 drives the entire cleaning assembly 4 and the connecting pipe 402 fixed on the support frame 503 to rise and fall together through the connecting rod 504. This allows the height of the spray head to be adjusted, ensuring that every height area of the inner wall of the tank 1 from top to bottom can be effectively rinsed, eliminating cleaning dead corners.
[0035] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled by a master control button. Since the device matched with the control button is a common device and belongs to existing mature technology, its electrical connection relationship and specific circuit structure will not be described in detail here.
[0036] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
