Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of detergent feeding, and specifically to a detergent feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] In large commercial laundries, hotels, hospitals, and professional laundry service providers, industrial washing machines frequently and extensively use various types of concentrated liquid detergents (such as pre-wash agents, main wash agents, bleach, acid neutralizers, fabric softeners, etc.) to complete washing operations.

[0003] To address these challenges, detergent dispensing systems have become industry standard. These systems typically use a central dispensing station to distribute and deliver detergents to designated washing machines (washing machines) according to preset proportions in the washing program. Sharing a single pipeline for different detergents easily leads to pipe blockage and cross-contamination. After being transported through shared pipelines, different detergents are prone to residue, drying, and clumping on the pipes and inner walls. This not only clogs delicate pipelines, affecting the smoothness and accuracy of subsequent dispensing, but more seriously, it can cause cross-contamination between detergents of different properties.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for an innovative material supply solution that can not only achieve high-precision metering and supply, but also fundamentally solve the problems of blockage and cross-contamination caused by shared pipelines, while maintaining the simplicity and reliability of the system structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention proposes a cleaning agent feeder. By incorporating a cleaning agent feeding mechanism, a pipeline cleaning mechanism, and a metering pump, the cleaning agent is precisely delivered to the designated cleaning equipment via an inlet distributor, metering pump, and outlet distributor. In pipeline cleaning mode, the cleaning fluid flows along the same path, thoroughly removing residual cleaning agent from the inlet distributor, metering pump, and outlet distributor. This fundamentally solves the problems of blockage and cross-contamination in shared pipelines. Furthermore, the reuse of mechanisms maintains a simple and reliable system structure. To address the issue of inaccurate feeding, a high-precision metering pump is used, ensuring accurate feeding and guaranteeing the correct addition of cleaning agent.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more apparent and understandable, many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0022] See Figures 1-4A detergent dispenser includes a body 1, and the detergent dispenser further includes components disposed on the body 1: A cleaning agent supply mechanism is used to dispense and deliver cleaning agent to each cleaning device 5. The cleaning agent supply mechanism includes an inlet distributor 2 and an outlet distributor 4. The pipeline cleaning mechanism 7 has its liquid outlet end connected to the cleaning feed end 203 of the feed distributor 2; Metering pump 6, its input end is connected to the discharge end 202 of feed diverter 2, and its output end is connected to the feed end 402 of discharge diverter 4. Feed diverter 2, metering pump 6, discharge diverter 4, and cleaning equipment 5 are connected in sequence through pipelines. In the cleaning agent supply mode, the cleaning agent supplied by the cleaning agent supply mechanism is delivered to the designated cleaning equipment 5 via the inlet distributor 2, the metering pump 6 and the outlet distributor 4. In the pipeline cleaning mode, the cleaning fluid provided by the pipeline cleaning mechanism is delivered to the designated cleaning equipment 5 through the feed distributor 2, metering pump 6 and discharge distributor 4 to clean the residual cleaning agent in the feed distributor 2, metering pump 6, discharge distributor (4) and the residual cleaning agent in the pipeline between the feed distributor 2, metering pump 6, discharge distributor 4 and cleaning equipment 5.

[0023] By incorporating a detergent supply mechanism, a pipeline cleaning mechanism 7, and a metering pump 6, the detergent is precisely delivered to the designated cleaning equipment 5 via the inlet distributor 2, metering pump 6, and outlet distributor 4. In pipeline cleaning mode, the cleaning fluid flows along the same path, thoroughly removing residual detergent from the inlet distributor 2, metering pump 6, and outlet distributor 4, fundamentally solving the problems of blockage and cross-contamination in shared pipelines. Simultaneously, the reuse of mechanisms maintains a simple and reliable system structure. To address the issue of inaccurate supply, a high-precision metering pump 6 is used, ensuring accurate detergent addition.

[0024] The feed diverter 2 has several feed connectors 201 on its side for connecting to the detergent feed valve 3; the feed diverter 2 has a discharge end 202 for connecting to the input end of the metering pump 6 and a cleaning feed end 203 for connecting to the pipeline cleaning mechanism at both ends. The pipeline cleaning mechanism 7 includes a water inlet valve 701 connected to the cleaning feed end 203; By adjusting the opening and closing states of the detergent feed valve 3 and the water inlet valve 701, the working mode of the detergent feeder can be switched to achieve the functions of detergent feeding or pipeline cleaning.

[0025] The process employs alternating intervals of material supply and rinsing. Taking the delivery of one cleaning agent to a designated cleaning device 5 as an example, the specific method is as follows: The system opens the inlet valve 3 of the cleaning agent and the corresponding outlet valve 9 of the cleaning device 5. First, the metering pump 6 delivers the cleaning agent to the cleaning device 5. After delivery is completed, the inlet valve 3 is closed, and the water inlet valve 701 is opened. Water is delivered for a period of time to rinse the pipeline. This process can first clean the cleaning agent in the pipeline, ensuring the accuracy of cleaning agent addition; keeping the pipeline clean and preventing the mixing of two different cleaning agents; it solves the problem of delivering different cleaning agents to different cleaning devices 5 through a single pipeline, which greatly simplifies the pipeline construction workload.

[0026] The feed connector 201 on the side of the feed diverter 2 is connected to the feed valve 3. The two ends of the feed diverter 2 are connected to the metering pump 6 and the pipeline cleaning mechanism 7, respectively. With the opening and closing control of the water inlet valve 701, precise switching between cleaning agent supply and pipeline cleaning is achieved. When switching to cleaning mode, the feed valve 3 is closed and the water inlet valve 701 is opened, which prevents the cleaning agent from mixing with the cleaning liquid, ensures that the cleaning liquid flows through the pipeline alone, improves the cleaning effect, and avoids pipeline blockage caused by the drying and clumping of residual cleaning agent.

[0027] The cleaning agent supply mechanism includes several cleaning agent containers 8 for storing cleaning agents, and the outlet end of each cleaning agent container 8 is connected to a corresponding cleaning agent inlet valve 3; when the designated cleaning equipment 5 is working, the corresponding cleaning agent inlet valve 3 is opened.

[0028] Each detergent container 8 corresponds to a specific feed valve 3. When the designated cleaning equipment 5 is working, only the corresponding feed valve 3 is opened, achieving dedicated supply of detergent. This precise control method avoids mis-supply and mixing of different types of detergents, reduces the decline in washing effect caused by incorrect supply, and at the same time reduces detergent waste and improves supply accuracy by opening valves as needed.

[0029] The pipeline cleaning mechanism 7 also includes a cleaning fluid container 702 for storing cleaning fluid, and the outlet end of the cleaning fluid container 702 is connected to the water inlet valve 701.

[0030] The pipeline cleaning mechanism 7 is equipped with a dedicated cleaning fluid container 702 to store the cleaning fluid, providing a stable liquid source for pipeline cleaning. The cleaning fluid does not require temporary preparation or external connection, ensuring a sufficient supply of cleaning fluid when the cleaning mode is activated, guaranteeing the continuity and reliability of the cleaning process, and avoiding incomplete cleaning due to insufficient cleaning fluid. The discharge diverter 4 has several discharge connectors 401 on its side for connecting to the cleaning equipment 5. Each discharge connector 401 is connected to the corresponding cleaning equipment 5 by a discharge valve 9. When the designated cleaning equipment 5 is working, the corresponding discharge valve 9 is opened.

[0031] The discharge diverter 4 is connected to the cleaning equipment 5 via discharge connectors 401. Each discharge connector 401 is equipped with a corresponding discharge valve 9, which is opened only for the working cleaning equipment 5. This design can precisely control the cleaning agent or cleaning fluid to flow only to the target equipment, avoid residual liquid accumulation in unrelated pipelines, reduce the risk of cross-contamination, and reduce the ineffective consumption of cleaning fluid in non-working pipelines. The metering pump 6 is provided with a diversion mechanism for diverting flow on the outside of the output end. The diversion mechanism includes a three-way valve 10, a first diversion valve 11 and a second diversion valve 12. The opening and closing of the corresponding discharge valve 9 and the diversion valve are used to adjust the flow of the pipeline connected to the corresponding cleaning equipment 5. The output end of the metering pump 6 is connected to the three-way valve 10. Both ends of the discharge diverter 4 are provided with inlet ends 402. The first end of the tee 10 is connected to one inlet end 402 of the discharge diverter 4 through the first diversion valve 11, and the second end of the tee 10 is connected to the other inlet end 402 of the discharge diverter 4 through the second diversion valve 12.

[0032] The diversion mechanism at the output end of the metering pump 6 is connected to both ends of the discharge diverter 4 via a three-way valve 10, a first diversion valve 11, and a second diversion valve 12, and works in conjunction with the discharge valve 9 to regulate the flow of the pipeline. The fluid flows through the discharge diverter 4 via the corresponding valve body and pipeline, thus flushing the internal pipelines of the discharge diverter 4 and preventing waste of cleaning fluid. The upper part of the machine body 1 is used to fix and install the cleaning feed diverter 2 and the discharge diverter 4, and the lower part of the machine body 1 is used to fix and install the cleaning agent container 8 and the cleaning liquid container 702.

[0033] The upper part of the machine body 1 is fixedly equipped with a feed diverter 2 and a discharge diverter 4, while the lower part of the machine body 1 is equipped with a cleaning agent container 8 and a cleaning fluid container 702, forming an integrated layout with upper and lower partitions. This structural design allows for the orderly integration of the core feeding component and the storage component, while also facilitating the overall installation, maintenance, and space planning of the equipment. The machine body 1 is provided with a receiving cavity 101 for accommodating the cleaning agent container 8 and the cleaning fluid container 702.

[0034] Both the cleaning agent container 8 and the cleaning liquid container 702 are equipped with filters. The cleaning liquid container 702 is equipped with a water replenishment mechanism 13 and a water level sensor for detecting the liquid level in the cleaning liquid container 702.

[0035] The filters in the detergent container 8 and the cleaning fluid container 702 can intercept impurities in the liquid and prevent particulate matter from entering the pipeline and causing blockage. The water replenishment mechanism of the cleaning fluid container 702 works with the water level sensor to monitor the liquid level in real time and replenish water in time, ensuring that there is enough cleaning fluid when the cleaning mode is started, and avoiding cleaning interruption due to lack of liquid. The housing 101 of the body 1 includes a base plate 102 for supporting and placing the detergent container 8 and the cleaning liquid container 702. The base plate 102 is provided with a plurality of support columns 103 for supporting the upper bracket 104. The cleaning feed diverter 2 and the discharge diverter 4 are arranged in the upper bracket 104. The upper bracket 104 is provided with a bracket 105 for fixing the cleaning feed diverter 2 and the discharge diverter 4.

[0036] Both the feed distributor 2 and the discharge distributor 4 are hollow tubular structures. Several through holes are opened on the side of the tubular structure to connect corresponding joints. A seal is provided between the joint and the through hole to prevent liquid leakage, or the seal is achieved by welding. A fixing member is fitted on the outside of the tubular structure and is fixed to the bracket 105 with screws.

[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
