Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a cleaning cylinder structure for a mahjong cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] Mahjong, as a widely popular recreational card, is prone to contamination due to frequent hand contact during long-term use, making its cleaning a significant necessity. However, traditional manual cleaning methods require wiping each of the six surfaces of every tile individually, which is cumbersome, inefficient, and labor-intensive, failing to meet users' requirements for both cleaning quality and convenience.

[0003] Semi-automatic mahjong cleaning equipment is available on the market, typically using a built-in rotating cleaning drum to tumble and scrub the mahjong tiles. However, most existing mahjong cleaning equipment uses a single-door structure to open and close the cleaning drum, but this structure requires a large amount of space to rotate when opening, which increases the overall size of the equipment and limits its ease of use and storage applicability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a cleaning cylinder structure for a mahjong cleaning machine.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A cleaning cylinder structure for a mahjong cleaning machine includes a cleaning cylinder with a feed inlet and two rotatable door panels located at the feed inlet. The inner wall of the cleaning cylinder is provided with a brush.

[0007] Preferably, the cleaning cylinder is slidably provided with an arc-shaped rack connected to the door panel, one side of the arc-shaped rack meshes with a drive tooth, and the other side of the arc-shaped rack abuts against an abutting wheel.

[0008] Preferably, the driving tooth is engaged with a driven tooth, and there are two arc-shaped racks that are respectively engaged with the driving tooth and the driven tooth. The driving tooth is connected to a motor that drives its rotation.

[0009] Preferably, each of the two door panels is provided with a connector plate and a pin, and the pin can be displaced and inserted into the connector plate for fixation.

[0010] Preferably, a cylinder plate is provided on the inner circumference of the cleaning cylinder, and a brush is provided on the inner wall of the cylinder plate.

[0011] Preferably, the cleaning cylinder is connected to a rotating shaft that drives its rotation, and a brush is provided on the rotating shaft.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. Two door panels that can rotate relative to each other to close or open the feed inlet are installed on the cleaning cylinder. By setting two door panels to open the feed inlet, the height required for the two door panels to rotate and open is relatively low compared with setting a single door panel. This allows for reasonable compression and optimization of the equipment volume, resulting in a more compact and small structural layout. Furthermore, by rotating relative to each other, the two door panels can form inclined guide surfaces on both sides, allowing the mahjong tiles to be fed into the cleaning cylinder smoothly and reliably.

[0014] 2. By supplying atomized cleaning agent into the cleaning cylinder and installing brushes on the inner wall of the cleaning cylinder, the mahjong tiles are efficiently cleaned by the brushes during the rolling of the cleaning cylinder, and the grooves on the surface of the mahjong tiles are also cleaned by the brushes, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the mahjong tiles.

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0031] In the description of this specification, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or unit 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.

[0032] like Figures 6-9 As shown, this embodiment discloses a cleaning cylinder structure for a mahjong cleaning machine, including a cleaning cylinder 3. The cleaning cylinder 3 is provided with a feed inlet 31 and a door panel 32 rotatably disposed on the feed inlet 31. The door panel 32 can rotate to open the feed inlet 31. There are two door panels 32, which are rotatably connected to the feed inlet 31. That is, two door panels 32 that can rotate relative to each other to close or open the feed inlet 31 are provided on the cleaning cylinder 3. By setting two door panels 32 to open the feed inlet 31, compared with the existing method of setting a single door panel 32, the height required for the two door panels 32 to rotate and open is relatively low, thereby reasonably compressing and optimizing the volume of the equipment, so as to achieve a more compact and small structural layout of the equipment.

[0033] The inner wall of the cleaning cylinder 3 is provided with a brush 39, and a spray pipe 12 is provided above the cleaning cylinder 3, which is inclined towards the feed inlet 31. The spray pipe 12 delivers atomized cleaning agent into the cleaning cylinder 3 through the feed inlet 31, so that the cleaning agent can fully contact the mahjong tiles in the cleaning cylinder 3.

[0034] The cleaning cylinder 3 is connected to a rotating shaft 38 that drives its rotation. The cleaning cylinder 3 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 via the rotating shaft 38. The rotating shaft 38 passes through the cleaning cylinder 3 and is rotatably connected to the housing 1 at both ends, so as to drive the cleaning cylinder 3 to rotate. A brush 39 is provided on the rotating shaft 38. Furthermore, a cylinder plate 33 is provided on the inner circumference of the cleaning cylinder 3, and a brush 39 is provided on the inner wall of the cylinder plate 33.

[0035] Then, during the rolling of the cleaning drum 3, the mahjong tiles are efficiently scrubbed by the brush 39, and the grooves on the surface of the mahjong tiles are also scrubbed by the brush 39 to improve the cleaning effect. After the mahjong tiles are cleaned, the cleaning drum 3 rotates and the mahjong tiles inside fall into the collection basket 43, so that the mahjong tiles can be disinfected and sterilized a second time by the ultraviolet lamp 15, which greatly improves the cleaning, stain removal, disinfection and sterilization effect of the mahjong tiles.

[0036] Furthermore, a velvet cloth can be provided on the inner wall of the cylindrical plate 33. There are multiple cylindrical plates 33. A velvet cloth is provided on the inner wall of some of the cylindrical plates 33, and a brush is provided on the inner wall of other cylindrical plates 33. The velvet cloth is used to wipe the surface of the mahjong tile, and then works in conjunction with the brush 39 to clean the mahjong tile more effectively.

[0037] The two door panels 32 are opened by rotating relative to each other, so that inclined guide surfaces can be formed on both sides, so that the mahjong tiles can be smoothly and reliably sent into the cleaning tube 3.

[0038] To improve the stability of the door panel 32 rotation, an arc-shaped rack 35 connected to the door panel 32 is slidably provided on the cleaning cylinder 3. One side of the arc-shaped rack 35 meshes with the drive tooth 34. The drive tooth 34 rotates to drive the arc-shaped rack 35 to rotate at a certain angle, thereby driving the door panel 32 to rotate and open through the arc-shaped rack 35.

[0039] The other side of the arc-shaped rack 35 is abutted by an abutting wheel 351, which abuts and limits the rotation of the arc-shaped rack 35 to make the rotation of the arc-shaped rack 35 more stable.

[0040] Furthermore, the drive tooth 34 is engaged with a driven tooth 342, and there are two arc-shaped racks 35, which are respectively engaged with the drive tooth 34 and the driven tooth 342. The outer sides of the two arc-shaped racks 35 are abutted by abutment wheels 351. The drive tooth 34 is connected to a motor 341 that drives it to rotate, so that the drive tooth 34 and the driven tooth 342 are driven to rotate by the motor 341, and the two arc-shaped racks 35 are respectively driven to rotate to open or close the feed port 31.

[0041] Each of the two door panels 32 is respectively provided with a plug plate 36 and a pin 37. The pin 37 can be displaced and plugged into the plug plate 36. By plugging the pin 37 into the plug plate 36, the two door panels 32 are locked together, thereby preventing accidents such as the door panels 32 rotating and opening during the process of the cleaning cylinder 3 rotating to clean the mahjong.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 14 As shown, this embodiment also discloses a mahjong cleaning machine, including the above-mentioned cleaning cylinder structure and a machine housing 1, and a feed hole 111 opened on the machine housing 1. The feed hole 111 is opened on the top of the machine housing 1, and a caster wheel 18 is provided at the bottom of the machine housing 1. The caster wheel 18 is provided to facilitate the movement of the machine housing 1.

[0043] The machine housing 1 is provided with a cleaning cylinder 3 and a collection basket 43 located below the feed hole 111. The feed inlet 31 of the cleaning cylinder 3 corresponds to the position of the feed hole 111. The cleaning cylinder 3 is rotatably positioned above the collection basket 43, that is, the cleaning cylinder 3 and the collection basket 43 are arranged vertically inside the machine housing 1.

[0044] The casing 1 is equipped with an ultraviolet lamp 15 and a fan 16 and a heating tube 17 located below the collection basket 43. The ultraviolet lamp 15 is installed on the side wall of the casing 1, and the fan 16 and the heating tube 17 are installed on the bottom of the casing 1.

[0045] This allows the feed hole 111 and the feed inlet 31 to be positioned vertically opposite each other, and the feed hole 111 is provided with a feed guide plate 11 extending downward at an inclination, so that the mahjong tiles fed from the feed hole 111 can be better guided down to the feed inlet 31 by the feed guide plate 11.

[0046] By using the fan 16 in conjunction with the heating tube 17, hot air is delivered to the mahjong tiles in the collection basket 43 to dry them. Specifically, by setting up a collection basket 43 below the cleaning cylinder 3 to store the mahjong tiles, the mahjong tiles can be dried in the collection basket 43, thereby achieving integrated cleaning, disinfection, storage and drying, which improves the cleaning efficiency and ease of operation of the mahjong tiles, and ensures the cleaning effect of the mahjong tiles.

[0047] To improve the efficiency of feeding mahjong tiles into the cleaning cylinder 3, a feeding plate 2 is provided at the feeding hole 111 above the cleaning cylinder 3. That is, the machine housing 1 is provided with a feeding plate 2 that can rotate to close or open the feeding hole 111. The feeding plate 2 is provided with a rotating shaft 21 that is rotatably connected to the machine housing 1. The feeding plate 2 achieves its rotation relative to the machine housing 1 through the rotating shaft 21. When not in use for cleaning, the feeding plate 2 rotates to cover the feeding hole 111; when it is necessary to clean the mahjong tiles, the feeding plate 2 can rotate in the opposite direction toward the mahjong table where the mahjong tiles are placed.

[0048] Furthermore, a folding plate 24 is flipped on the side of the feeding plate 2 away from the feeding hole 111. The rotating shaft 21 and the folding plate 24 are distributed opposite to each other at the front and rear ends of the feeding plate 2. A hinge 23 is provided on the feeding plate 2 to rotatably connect the folding plate 24. The folding plate 24 is hinged to the feeding plate 2 through the hinge 23. By flipping the folding plate 24 relative to the feeding plate 2 at a certain angle, the folding plate 24 can be directly pressed against the mahjong table. In this way, the mahjong tiles on the table can be directly and smoothly pushed into the cleaning cylinder 3 through the folding plate 24 and the feeding plate 2 for cleaning and disinfection, which can effectively improve cleaning efficiency and reduce the manual operation burden.

[0049] The feeding plate 2 and the folding plate 24 are provided with baffles 25 on both sides. The baffles 25 on both sides can prevent the mahjong from falling off the folding plate 24 or the feeding plate 2 when pushing the mahjong. The feeding plate 2 is provided with a guide plate 22 that is inclined upward and extends toward the feeding hole 111. The inclined guide plate 22 can feed the mahjong into the feeding hole 111 more smoothly and prevent the mahjong from getting stuck between the feeding plate 2 and the feeding hole 111.

[0050] A storage box 4 is slidably mounted on the casing 1. The bottom of the storage box 4 is provided with a base plate 42 with a notch 421. The collection basket 43 is placed on the base plate 42. The notch 421 is provided so that hot air can be better delivered to the mahjong tiles in the collection basket 43.

[0051] The chassis 1 is provided with a sliding plate 14, and the storage box 4 is provided with a sliding strip 41 that is slidably disposed on the sliding plate 14. The storage box 4 slides back and forth along the length direction of the sliding plate 14. The storage box 4 is provided with a rear cover plate 13 that abuts against the rear side of the chassis 1. When the rear cover plate 13 abuts against the rear side of the chassis 1, the collection basket 43 is located directly below the cleaning cylinder 3.

[0052] The collection basket 43 is provided with handles 434 on both sides. After cleaning, simply slide the storage box 4 outwards and use the handles 434 on both sides of the collection basket 43 to lift the collection basket 434 out of the cleaning equipment.

[0053] Furthermore, the front side of the collection basket 43 is rotatably connected to a rotating plate 432 and a plug-in seat 431 located below the rotating plate 432. The collection basket 43 is provided with a rotating sleeve 435 that is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 432. The rotating plate 432 is rotated to be installed on the collection basket 43 through the rotating sleeve 435. The rotating plate 432 is slidably provided with a plug rod 433 that can be inserted and fixed in the plug-in seat 431. When the plug rod 433 is inserted into the plug-in seat 431, the collection basket 43 can normally collect and store mahjong tiles.

[0054] The insertion rod 433 is connected to a handle 4331. When it is necessary to remove the mahjong tiles, the insertion rod 433 can be pulled upward by the handle 4331 to disengage the insertion rod 433 from the insertion seat 431. Then, by rotating the rotating plate 432, the front of the collection basket 43 can be rotated open, so that the mahjong tiles can be poured out more conveniently for subsequent use. This avoids the need to manually remove the mahjong tiles one by one, thereby improving the overall cleaning efficiency and effectively preventing secondary contamination of the mahjong tiles caused by manual picking up, ensuring the hygienic and clean effect of mahjong tile cleaning.

[0055] Furthermore, by rotating the rotating plate 432, the mahjong tiles can be tilted and removed as a whole, which effectively avoids the tedious process of picking up the mahjong tiles one by one, greatly improving the efficiency of tile retrieval, and reducing operation time and potential secondary pollution.

[0056] This embodiment also discloses a cleaning process for a mahjong cleaning machine.

[0057] a. Move to the mahjong table with the cleaning function, and unfold the two sections of the feeding plate and the folding plate to make it able to touch the mahjong table and push the mahjong into the cleaning tube;

[0058] b. Pour the atomized cleaning agent into the cleaning cylinder to ensure that the cleaning agent comes into full contact with the mahjong tiles;

[0059] c. Drive the two door panels to rotate relative to each other to close the feed inlet of the cleaning cylinder, and then drive the cleaning cylinder to rotate and cooperate with the brush inside to clean the mahjong tiles.

[0060] d. Rotate the cleaning cylinder to face the inlet toward the collection basket and open the door to send the cleaned mahjong tiles into the collection basket;

[0061] e. Sterilize and dry the mahjong tiles inside the machine using ultraviolet lamps;

[0062] f. The mahjong set is lifted out as a whole by collecting the basket, and the set is then tilted out by rotating the rotating plate.
