Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of energy storage enclosure technology, and more specifically, to an automatic cleaning device for a dry granulation machine. Background Technology

[0002] Dry granulation machines are widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries. Their main function is to granulate powdered materials through processes such as extrusion, cutting, and crushing to meet subsequent processing or usage requirements. However, in actual production, the cleaning of this equipment has always been a significant factor affecting production efficiency and product quality.

[0003] While some automatic cleaning devices exist in the current technology, these devices generally suffer from limited cleaning range, non-adjustable cleaning angles, and low cleaning efficiency. For example, most existing cleaning nozzles are fixed in design, unable to flexibly adjust the spray angle according to changes in the internal structure of the equipment, making it difficult to effectively clean certain complex parts. Furthermore, the cleaning structure design of some equipment is not reasonable enough; for instance, cleaning the inside of an auger conveyor requires disassembling a large number of parts, increasing operational difficulty and maintenance costs. At the same time, existing cleaning devices are ineffective at cleaning rotating parts such as cutters. Since sticky materials often adhere to the cutter surface, static spraying alone is insufficient for thorough cleaning, thus affecting the overall hygiene and operational stability of the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an automated cleaning device capable of efficiently and comprehensively cleaning the internal structure of dry pellet mills to solve the problems of numerous cleaning dead zones, complex operation, and low cleaning efficiency in existing technologies. This device should feature flexible adjustment of the spray angle, coverage of key component cleaning needs, and reduced manual intervention, thereby significantly improving the cleaning effect and production efficiency of the equipment, while reducing maintenance costs and the risk of cross-contamination.

Detailed Implementation

[0012] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0013] Those skilled in the art will understand that, unless specifically stated otherwise, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “described” used herein may also include the plural forms. It should be further understood that the word “comprising” as used in this specification means the presence of the described features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups thereof.

[0014] This utility model provides an automatic cleaning device for a dry granulation machine, the overall structure of which is as follows: Figure 1-2 As shown. In this embodiment, it includes a feed hopper 1, an auger conveyor 2, a double roller chuck 4, a cutter 5, a crushing roller 6, a first cleaning head 7, a second cleaning head 8, a protective cover 9, a main water inlet pipe 10, a servo motor 11, and a transmission mechanism. Each component achieves the goal of efficient cleaning through structural design and functional integration. The feed hopper 1 is located at the top of the pellet mill and is used to feed raw materials into the auger conveyor 2. The auger conveyor 2 is located below the feed hopper 1 and runs through the entire pellet mill, conveying the raw materials to the double roller chuck 4 via spiral blades. A movable plate 3 is movably installed on the auger conveyor 2 via a slot. The design of the movable plate 3 allows for easy removal during the cleaning process, thereby enabling a thorough cleaning of the interior of the auger conveyor 2. The output end of the auger conveyor 2 is equipped with a double roller 4. The double roller 4 is used to compress the raw material into flakes. Then the flake raw material enters the area of ​​the cutter 5, where it is cut into strips. Finally, the strip raw material falls into the crushing roller 6, where it is crushed into granular medicine.

[0015] The first cleaning head 7 is located near the auger conveyor 2. After the movable plate 3 is removed, the first cleaning head 7 can clean the inside of the auger conveyor 2. The main water inlet pipe 10 has two branches, one of which connects to the first cleaning head 7 and the other connects to the second cleaning head 8. The second cleaning head 8 includes an inlet water pipe 16 and an outer sleeve 15. The inlet water pipe 16 is connected to the main water inlet pipe 10, and the outer sleeve 15 is fitted over and communicates with the inlet water pipe 16. The surface of the outer sleeve 15 is provided with multiple nozzles 17, which are staggered to form an angle to meet the cleaning needs of different parts. The second cleaning head 8 is driven by a servo motor 11 to rotate the drive shaft 12. The drive gear 13 on the drive shaft 12 meshes with the driven gear 14 on the outer sleeve 15, causing the outer sleeve 15 to rotate around the inlet water pipe 16, thereby adjusting the spray angle of the nozzles 17.

[0016] A protective cover 9 is installed on the front of the pellet mill to protect the operator's safety and prevent material splashing. A servo motor 11 is installed on the back of the pellet mill and is connected to the drive gear 13 via a drive shaft 12. The drive gear 13 meshes with the driven gear 14 on the outer sleeve 15 to realize the rotational movement of the outer sleeve 15. The water jet from the nozzle 17 drives the cutter 5 to rotate, thereby achieving all-round cleaning of the cutter 5.

[0017] In practical applications, the working principle of this device is as follows: Raw materials enter the auger conveyor 2 through the feed hopper 1 and are conveyed to the double roller 4 by the auger conveyor 2. The double roller 4 compresses the raw materials into flakes, then the cutter 5 cuts the flake raw materials into strips, and finally the crushing roller 6 crushes the strip raw materials into granular medicine. During cleaning, the movable plate 3 on the auger conveyor 2 is removed, and the first cleaning head 7 cleans the inside of the auger conveyor 2. The second cleaning head 8 drives the outer tube 15 to rotate through the servo motor 11, adjusting the spray angle of the nozzle 17 to clean the double roller 4, the cutter 5, and the crushing roller 6. The water flow sprayed from the nozzle 17 drives the cutter 5 to rotate, thereby achieving all-round cleaning of the cutter 5.

[0018] In this embodiment, the slot design of the movable plate 3 eliminates the need to disassemble the entire auger conveyor 2 during the cleaning process, reducing cleaning time and labor intensity. The staggered positioning and angle adjustment function of the nozzles 17 ensure full coverage of the cleaning range, avoiding blind spots. The automated nozzle adjustment mechanism driven by the servo motor 11 improves the accuracy and efficiency of cleaning. The angle design between the nozzles 17 allows the water flow to cover a wider cleaning area, while the water flow from the nozzles 17 drives the cutter 5 to rotate, further improving the cleaning effect.

[0019] First, a movable plate is movably mounted on the auger conveyor via a slot. Removing the movable plate allows for flushing of the auger conveyor's interior. This movable plate design significantly improves cleaning convenience and avoids the cleaning blind spots caused by traditional fixed structures. Second, the second cleaning head uses a servo motor to drive the outer sleeve to rotate, achieving dynamic adjustment of the spray angle. Multiple spray heads are staggered to form an angle, covering different cleaning areas of the double roller conveyor, cutter, and crushing roller. When a spray head is aimed at the cutter, the sprayed water pushes the cutter to rotate, achieving all-around cleaning of the cutter. Finally, the combined use of the first and second cleaning heads achieves comprehensive cleaning of the auger conveyor, double roller conveyor, cutter, and crushing roller, significantly improving cleanliness and efficiency.

[0020] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
