Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic cleaning technology, specifically to a novel automatic cleaning robot structure. Background Technology

[0002] Filtration equipment is widely used in water treatment, petrochemicals, power and other fields. Timely cleaning of surface contaminants directly affects filtration efficiency and equipment lifespan. With the development of automation technology, automatic cleaning robots have gradually become an important tool for the maintenance of filtration equipment, aiming to reduce manual intervention and improve the convenience and effectiveness of cleaning through intelligent means.

[0003] In existing technologies, cleaning methods are limited, and simple rinsing or brushing is insufficient to meet cleaning quality requirements. Furthermore, most cleaning components in current cleaning devices are fixedly connected, which often requires disassembling multiple fixed parts when components wear out or need to be replaced. This operation is complex and time-consuming, which not only increases maintenance difficulty but may also affect the normal operation of the filtration equipment due to prolonged downtime, making it difficult to meet the demand for efficient and continuous production. Therefore, we propose a new type of automatic cleaning robot structure. Utility Model Content

[0059] Working Principle: Following the diagram, the new automatic cleaning robot structure is correctly installed. During operation, it first connects to the filter via the connecting frame 7 on the side wall of the housing 1, ensuring overall structural stability. The housing 1 has a hollow interior, with rectangular openings on its two opposite side walls providing space for cleaning operations. The top inlet trough 8 allows the cleaning fluid to enter and connects to the inlet pipe 14. The bottom drain pipe 9 is responsible for discharging the waste liquid after cleaning. The identification and control module 6 is located at the top of the cleaning slider 2, away from the connecting frame 7. Its integrated high-definition industrial camera and infrared sensor can detect the thickness and distribution of contaminants on the filter surface in real time, thereby determining the degree of contamination and sending control commands to the lifting and cleaning components. In the lifting component, the servo motors 17 inside the two opposite shaft ends of the cleaning slider 2 start upon receiving the commands. The gear 18 at its output shaft end engages with the side cavity 10 of the housing 1. The rack 12 on the inner wall engages, and the sliding hole 15 on the side wall of the cleaning slider 2 slides with the sliding rod 13 inside the housing 1. Its shaft end slides with the guide groove 11 of the side cavity 10, so that the cleaning slider 2 can rise and fall smoothly in the vertical direction. In the cleaning assembly, the brush 3 is inserted into the cavity 19 of the cleaning slider 2 through the clamping plate 21 on the side wall. The mating plate 22 of the clamping member 4 is fixed to the inner wall of the cavity 19. The spring 23 on its side wall is in a compressed state, which drives the top plate 24 to clamp and fix the clamping plate 21, ensuring that the brush 3 and the cleaning slider 2 are in close contact. The nozzle 5 at the top of the cleaning slider 2 is in an inclined state. The nozzle 5 can spray cleaning liquid to rinse the filter. When the cleaning slider 2 rises and falls, the brush 3 brushes the surface of the filter, and the nozzle 5 sprays cleaning liquid at the same time. The two work together to achieve efficient cleaning. The waste liquid generated during the cleaning process is discharged through the drain pipe 9, completing the entire automatic cleaning process.
