Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of food processing auxiliary equipment technology, specifically to a universal cleaning device for rinsing material carts. Background Technology

[0002] In the condiment processing industry, material carts are an important tool for transferring food processing raw materials. The rectangular box on top of the material cart is the carrier for the raw materials. After the raw material transfer is completed, the inside of the box needs to be rinsed and cleaned with water pipes.

[0003] Traditional rinsing and cleaning processes have the following three drawbacks: 1. Waste of water resources: Traditional cleaning methods involve operators using water pipes connected to production water to directly rinse the inner walls of the tank. While continuous high-pressure water rinsing achieves rapid cleaning, the process is entirely controlled by the operator, resulting in significant water waste. 2. Difficulty in thoroughly cleaning hard-to-reach areas: The cleaning process relies entirely on the operator's experience and skill level, further increasing the difficulty and time required for cleaning. 3. High physical exertion for cleaning staff: Due to the relatively large size of the material cart (1.2m x 1.2m x 1.5m), operators typically need to keep their arms elevated and constantly change cleaning angles for extended periods during cleaning. This operation method easily leads to shoulder and arm strain for the operators.

[0004] Therefore, designing and providing an efficient and convenient material cart cleaning device is essential for the condiment processing industry. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a universal cleaning device for rinsing material carts, which can automatically complete 360° all-round cleaning of the inside of the material cart body, saving water resources and reducing the labor intensity of operators.

[0006] A universal cleaning device for rinsing material carts includes a guide tube, a rotating nozzle, a connecting tube, and an I-shaped bracket;

[0007] The guide tube is vertically fixed on the upper surface of the rectangular box of the material cart. The I-shaped bracket and the rotating nozzle are respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the connecting pipe to form a rotating nozzle cleaning assembly. The outer diameter of the rotating nozzle and the connecting pipe is smaller than the inner diameter of the guide tube. The rotating nozzle cleaning assembly extends into the guide tube through the connecting pipe. The rotating nozzle is located outside the bottom of the guide tube. The rotating nozzle cleaning assembly is supported and limited by the I-shaped bracket cooperating with the upper end of the guide tube. After the water pipe is connected to the connecting pipe, the high-pressure water flows through the rotating nozzle and causes its head to rotate 360°. The sprayed water curtain cleans the inside of the material cart box.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating nozzle includes a nozzle body, a bearing, a rotating shaft, and a nozzle; one end of the rotating shaft is movably mounted in the mounting cavity inside the nozzle body via the bearing, and the nozzle is mounted on the other end of the rotating shaft. The inner cavity of the nozzle communicates with the mounting cavity of the nozzle body via the rotating shaft. A sealing ring is installed on the mating surface between the rotating shaft and the nozzle body to achieve dynamic sealing. The bottom of the nozzle body is provided with an internal thread structure that mates with the connecting pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the nozzle has conical ends and a cylindrical middle section. The nozzle has three spray holes distributed at both ends and the middle of the nozzle. The spray holes are conical holes with a cone angle of 40°. After the nozzle rotates, the three spray holes spray water curtains to form a fan-shaped surface with a longitudinal section of 120°.

[0010] Furthermore, the I-shaped bracket is welded to one-third of the total length of the connecting pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, both the guide tube and the connecting tube are made of stainless steel.

[0012] Beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The rotary nozzle cleaning assembly of this utility model has a rotary nozzle guide tube that extends into the inside of the material cart box. After the high-pressure water flow enters the rotary nozzle, the kinetic energy of the water flow is converted into the rotational mechanical energy of the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft drives the nozzle to rotate synchronously, realizing 360° rotational spraying. The water curtain sprayed from the three nozzles together forms a fan-shaped surface with a longitudinal section of 120°, which can completely cover the parts inside the material cart box that need to be cleaned, automatically completing all-round cleaning. The cleaning process requires no experience from the operator and has no dead corners.

[0014] 2. The universal cleaning device of this utility model can improve cleaning efficiency and save water resources. According to the actual water consumption comparison, initially using water pipes to rinse the material cart required at least 200L of water to complete one cleaning operation. However, using the universal cleaning device to rinse the material cart only requires 50L of water to clean it, and the water consumption is only 25% of the original cleaning method.

[0015] 3. The universal cleaning device of this utility model does not require the operator to raise their arm for a long time during the cleaning process. During operation, the cleaning head only needs to be inserted into the stainless steel guide tube for automatic cleaning. The operation method is convenient and quick, and reduces working time. After the set amount of rinsing water is reached, only manual inspection is required to check whether it is clean, which effectively reduces the labor intensity of the operator.

[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] As attached Figure 1 and 2 As shown, this utility model provides a universal cleaning device for rinsing a material cart. This device is processed and improved from the original material cart 1. A circular hole with a diameter of about 3cm is opened at the top edge of the material cart 1, and a stainless steel guide tube 2 with a length of about 10cm and a diameter of 3cm is welded on. The universal cleaning device also includes a rotating nozzle 3, a connecting pipe 4, and an I-shaped bracket 5. The I-shaped bracket 5 and the rotating nozzle 3 are respectively installed at the upper and lower ends of the connecting pipe 4 to form a rotating nozzle cleaning assembly. The outer diameter of the rotating nozzle 3 and the connecting pipe 4 is smaller than the inner diameter of the guide tube 2. The rotating nozzle cleaning assembly extends into the guide tube 2 through the connecting pipe. The rotating nozzle 3 is located outside the bottom of the guide tube. The rotating nozzle cleaning assembly is supported and limited by the cooperation between the I-shaped bracket 5 and the upper end of the guide tube 2. After the water pipe 6 is connected to the connecting pipe 4, the high-pressure water flows through the rotating nozzle 3 and causes its head to rotate 360°. The sprayed water curtain cleans the inside of the material cart 1.

[0022] As attached Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the rotary nozzle 3 of this utility model includes a nozzle body 3-1, a bearing, a rotating shaft 3-2, and a nozzle 3-3. One end of the rotating shaft 3-2 is movably mounted in the mounting cavity inside the nozzle body 3-1 through the bearing, and the other end of the rotating shaft 3-2 is fitted with the nozzle 3-3. The inner cavity of the nozzle 3-3 communicates with the mounting cavity of the nozzle body 3-1 through the rotating shaft 3-2. A sealing ring is installed on the mating surface of the rotating shaft 3-2 and the nozzle body 3-1 to achieve dynamic sealing. The bottom of the nozzle body 3-1 is provided with an internal thread structure that mates with the connecting pipe 4.

[0023] The nozzle 3-3 has conical ends and a cylindrical middle section. It has three spray holes, located at both ends and in the middle. Each spray hole is conical with a cone angle of 40°. (From the attached...) Figure 3As can be seen, the nozzles at the upper and lower ends on the left side of nozzle 3-3 each form two water curtains covering a 40° range, and the nozzle in the middle of nozzle 3-3 forms a water curtain covering a 40° range in the middle. After the nozzle rotates, the above three water curtains form a cleaning range that can cover 120°.

[0024] The actual cleaning process is compared as follows: Before the solution was improved, the cleaning personnel needed to use a water hose to continuously rinse the material cart until it was clean. After using the improved cleaning device, the operation only requires inserting the rotating nozzle cleaning component into the interface of the guide tube 2 to automatically perform the cleaning, which is very convenient and quick. It can also reduce the time spent by the operators in the cleaning operation. After rinsing with 50L of water, it is only necessary to check whether it is clean. There is no need to continuously rinse the inside of the material cart.

[0025] In summary, the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
