Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of filtration technology, specifically to a cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] The filter element is the core component of the filtration system. Its function is to remove impurities from fluids such as slurry, air, water or oil through physical interception or adsorption, so as to improve the purity of the fluid.

[0003] After a certain period of use, the filter screen will become clogged with slurry or impurities, reducing its filtration capacity. Therefore, the filter needs to be cleaned to restore its flow and filtration capabilities. Cleaning the filter usually requires a worker to use a high-pressure water gun to rinse it; however, manual cleaning is not very effective. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application provides a cleaning device that can improve the cleaning effect on filter elements.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application discloses a cleaning device, comprising: a main body, a housing, and a cleaning assembly. The housing is disposed within the main body and has a cleaning chamber configured to be injected with liquid and to house a filter element. The cleaning assembly includes a cleaning frame, a nozzle, and an ultrasonic generator. The cleaning frame is disposed within the main body, and both the nozzle and the ultrasonic generator are mounted on the cleaning frame. The nozzle is used to spray liquid into the cleaning chamber to clean the filter element. The cleaning frame is configured to move relative to the housing to move the nozzle and the ultrasonic generator. The ultrasonic generator is configured to extend into the liquid within the cleaning chamber and is used to generate ultrasonic waves to cause the liquid within the cleaning chamber to vibrate.

[0006] With the above setup, the ultrasonic generator can be inserted into the liquid in the cleaning chamber to drive the liquid to vibrate, causing cavitation. During cavitation, a large number of tiny bubbles are generated in the liquid and burst, thereby peeling off and flushing away slurry or impurities adhering to the filter element, improving the cleaning effect. Furthermore, the cleaning rack can move the nozzle and ultrasonic generator to clean different parts of the filter element, further enhancing the cleaning effect. Simultaneously, using the nozzle and ultrasonic generator to clean the filter element instead of a manual high-pressure water gun reduces the workload of workers, increases cleaning efficiency, and avoids the wear and tear caused by frequent starting and stopping of the high-pressure water gun during cleaning.

[0007] Optionally, the cleaning equipment further includes a first liquid level sensor, a liquid supply assembly, and a controller. The first liquid level sensor is located inside the cleaning chamber and is used to detect the liquid level inside the cleaning chamber. The liquid supply assembly is connected to the nozzle and is used to supply liquid to the nozzle. Both the first liquid level sensor and the liquid supply assembly are electrically connected to the controller. The nozzle of the nozzle and the ultrasonic generator are configured to be lower than the height of the first liquid level sensor. The controller is configured to control the liquid supply assembly to supply liquid to the nozzle and control the ultrasonic generator to generate ultrasonic waves when the liquid level in the cleaning chamber is equal to the height of the first liquid level sensor.

[0008] With the above setup, the nozzle can spray liquid below the liquid surface, flushing slurry, impurities, and other deposits on the filter element into the liquid within the cleaning chamber. This prevents slurry and other deposits from splashing, facilitating "5S" management of the work environment and preventing corrosive pollutants like slurry from affecting workers' health. Furthermore, controlling the nozzle and ultrasonic generator via a controller to replace manual cleaning of the filter element reduces worker workload and improves cleaning efficiency.

[0009] Optionally, the nozzle includes a first nozzle and a second nozzle arranged at intervals, wherein the nozzle cross-sectional area of ​​the first nozzle is larger than that of the second nozzle.

[0010] With the above configuration, the first nozzle sprays a larger volume of water, which can be used for coarse washing of the filter element. The second nozzle sprays a higher pressure water flow, which can be used for fine washing of the filter element. Therefore, the cleaning assembly can perform coarse washing and fine washing using the first and second nozzles respectively. For example, the cleaning assembly can first perform coarse washing of the filter element using the first nozzle, and then perform fine washing using the second nozzle, thus improving the cleaning effect on the filter element.

[0011] Optionally, the nozzle of the first spray head is higher than that of the second spray head. With this arrangement, the greater distance between the first spray head and the filter element increases the spray range of the first spray head, thereby increasing the cleaning area and improving the coarse cleaning effect. The closer distance between the second spray head and the filter element increases the impact force of the water flow, improving the fine cleaning effect.

[0012] Optionally, the ultrasonic generator is positioned at a height higher than the nozzle of the second nozzle and lower than the nozzle of the first nozzle, with the bottom of the ultrasonic generator being closer to the nozzle of the second nozzle than the nozzle of the first nozzle.

[0013] With the above setup, when the liquid level in the cleaning chamber reaches its maximum, the nozzles of both the ultrasonic generator and the second nozzle can extend into the liquid within the cleaning chamber to clean the filter element. This facilitates "5S management" of the work environment and prevents corrosive contaminants such as slurry from being exposed to the work environment, thus protecting the health of workers.

[0014] Optionally, multiple first nozzles are provided, and each first nozzle is spaced apart along the width direction of the housing. Multiple second nozzles are provided, and each second nozzle is spaced apart along the width direction of the housing. In the length direction of the housing, each second nozzle corresponds to a different first nozzle.

[0015] With the above setup, when the cleaning chamber contains multiple filter elements, multiple first nozzles and multiple second nozzles can clean different filter elements separately, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning equipment.

[0016] Optionally, the housing is provided with a rotating shaft and a support cylinder. There are multiple rotating shafts, which are spaced apart. The rotation axis of each rotating shaft is parallel to the length direction of the housing. The support cylinder is sleeved on the rotating shaft. The outer circumferential surface of the support cylinder is used to place the filter element. The filter element is placed between the support cylinders on two adjacent rotating shafts. The rotating shaft is configured to rotate relative to the housing to drive the support cylinder to rotate the filter element.

[0017] With the above design, the filter element is less likely to shake within the cleaning chamber, preventing collisions between the filter element and the housing, as well as between different filter elements, thus avoiding filter element damage. Furthermore, the filter element can rotate relative to the cleaning assembly during the cleaning process to clean different areas of its outer circumference, improving the cleaning effect.

[0018] Optionally, the carrier cylinder is provided with multiple rolling protrusions, and the multiple rolling protrusions are arranged in an array on the outer circumferential surface of the carrier cylinder. The carrier cylinder drives the filter element to rotate through the friction between the rolling protrusions and the filter element.

[0019] With the above configuration, the rolling protrusions can increase the friction between the carrier cylinder and the filter element, so that the carrier cylinder can drive the filter element to rotate.

[0020] Optionally, the cleaning equipment further includes a first drive device, which is located on the main body of the equipment and the cleaning components are located on the first drive device. The first drive device is used to drive the cleaning components to move relative to the housing.

[0021] With the above configuration, the first drive device can drive the cleaning equipment to move and clean different positions of the filter element, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the filter element.

[0022] Optionally, the first driving device includes a first slide rail and a first slider. The first slide rail is disposed on the main body of the device, and the first slider is slidably connected to the first slide rail and can slide along the extension direction of the first slide rail. The first driving device also includes a second slide rail and a second slider. The second slide rail is disposed on the first slider, and the second slider is slidably connected to the second slide rail and can slide along the extension direction of the second slide rail. There is an angle between the extension direction of the first slide rail and the extension direction of the second slide rail. The cleaning component is disposed on the second slider.

[0023] With the above configuration, when the first slider slides on the first slide rail, the first slider can drive the cleaning component to move along the length direction of the housing and clean the filter element; when the second slider slides on the second slide rail, the second slider can drive the cleaning component to move along the width direction of the housing, so that the cleaning component can clean different filter elements.

[0024] Optionally, the cleaning equipment also includes a cabinet, which is spaced apart from the main body of the equipment. The cabinet contains multiple cleaning cylinders, each with a cleaning tank. The length of the cleaning tank is parallel to the height of the cabinet. The cleaning tank is used to hold the filter element. The cabinet also contains multiple third nozzles, each located in a different cleaning tank. The third nozzles are configured to extend into the filter element and spray liquid onto the inner wall of the filter element to clean it.

[0025] With the above setup, the cleaning equipment can clean the outer surface of the filter element through the housing and cleaning components, and can also clean the inside of the filter element through the cabinet and the third nozzle, thus improving the cleaning effect of the filter element.

[0026] Optionally, the cleaning equipment also includes a second drive unit, which is located in the cabinet and is used to drive the cleaning cylinders to move relative to the third nozzle. The second drive unit includes a cylinder and a mounting bracket. The cylinder barrel is mounted in the cabinet, the length direction of the cylinder piston rod is parallel to the height direction of the cabinet, and the mounting bracket is mounted on the piston rod of the cylinder. Each cleaning cylinder is mounted on the mounting bracket.

[0027] With the above configuration, the second drive device can drive the cleaning cylinder to move and move the filter element relative to the third nozzle, so that the third nozzle can clean different positions inside the filter element, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the filter element.

[0028] Optionally, the mounting frame includes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate, both of which are disposed on the piston rod. The length direction of the first clamping plate is parallel to the length direction of the second clamping plate, and there is an angle between the length direction of the first clamping plate and the length direction of the piston rod. The first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are spaced apart, and each cleaning cylinder is connected between the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate and arranged along the length direction of the first clamping plate.

[0029] With the above configuration, the second drive device can drive the cleaning cylinder to move and move the filter element relative to the third nozzle, so that the third nozzle can clean different positions inside the filter element, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the filter element.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all possible embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] In the embodiments of this application, the terms "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate that something is an example, illustration, or description. Any embodiment or design that is described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being more preferred or advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of the terms "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a specific manner.

[0034] As used herein, terms such as “equal,” “parallel,” and “perpendicular” include the described situation and situations that are similar to the described situation, within an acceptable range of deviation, which is determined by those skilled in the art taking into account the measurement under discussion and the errors associated with the measurement of a particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, “equal” includes absolute equality and approximate equality, where an acceptable range of deviation for approximate equality may be, for example, a difference between the two equal items less than or equal to 5% of either one.

[0035] In the embodiments of this application, the directional indications used to explain the structure and movement of different components, such as up, down, left, right, front, and back, are relative. These indications are appropriate when the components are in the positions shown in the figures. However, if the description of the component positions changes, these directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0036] As mentioned in the background section, the filter element is the core component of a filtration system. Its function is to remove impurities from fluids such as slurry, air, water, or oil through physical interception or adsorption, thereby improving the purity of the fluid. After a certain period of use, the filter screen will become clogged with slurry or impurities, resulting in a reduction in filtration capacity. Therefore, the filter element needs to be cleaned to restore its flow and filtration capabilities. Cleaning the filter element usually requires workers to use a high-pressure water gun to rinse it; however, manual cleaning of filter elements is not very effective.

[0037] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a cleaning device to solve the issue of poor cleaning effect of manual cleaning of filter elements in related technologies.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5The cleaning device 10 of this application includes a main body 100, a housing 200, and a cleaning assembly 300. The housing 200 is disposed within the main body 100 and has a cleaning chamber 210 configured to be filled with liquid. The cleaning chamber 210 is also used to accommodate a filter element 20, enabling the cleaning device 10 to clean the filter element 20 within the cleaning chamber 210.

[0039] The cleaning assembly 300 includes a cleaning frame 330, a nozzle 310, and an ultrasonic generator 320. The cleaning frame 330 is located on the main body 100 of the equipment, and both the nozzle 310 and the ultrasonic generator 320 are mounted on the cleaning frame 330. The nozzle 310 sprays liquid into the cleaning chamber 210 to clean the filter element 20. The ultrasonic generator 320 is configured to extend into the liquid within the cleaning chamber 210 and generates ultrasonic waves to vibrate the liquid within the cleaning chamber 210, thereby cleaning the filter element 20. The cleaning frame 330 is configured to move relative to the housing 200, thereby moving the nozzle 310 and the ultrasonic generator 320 relative to the filter element 20 and cleaning different positions of the filter element 20.

[0040] With the above configuration, the ultrasonic generator 320 can extend into the liquid in the cleaning chamber 210 to drive the liquid to vibrate, causing cavitation. During the cavitation process, a large number of tiny bubbles are generated in the liquid and burst, thereby peeling off and flushing away the slurry or impurities adhering to the filter element 20, improving the cleaning effect of the filter element 20. Furthermore, the cleaning rack 330 can drive the nozzle 310 and the ultrasonic generator 320 to clean different positions of the filter element 20, further improving the cleaning effect. Simultaneously, using the nozzle 310 and the ultrasonic generator 320 to replace the manual high-pressure water gun for cleaning the filter element 20 reduces the workload of the workers, increases cleaning efficiency, and avoids the wear and tear caused by frequent starting and stopping of the high-pressure water gun during the cleaning process.

[0041] The components and technical solutions of the cleaning equipment 10 of this application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0042] The cleaning device 10 of this application embodiment can be used not only for cleaning the filter element 20, but also for cleaning other devices. The following embodiments of this application will use the cleaning device 10 for cleaning the filter element 20 as an example, but of course, the cleaning objects of the cleaning device 10 are not limited to the filter element 20.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 The cleaning equipment 10 includes a main body 100, the interior of which can accommodate other components of the cleaning equipment 10. A cabinet 110 is provided on the main body 100, and other components of the cleaning equipment 10 can also be housed within the cabinet 110.

[0044] Please combine Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 The cleaning equipment 10 includes a housing 200, which is mounted on the main body 100 and can be housed within a cabinet 110. The housing 200 has a cleaning chamber 210 into which liquid can be injected. For example, the inner wall of the housing 200 may have a first injection port 220 communicating with the cleaning chamber 210. The first injection port 220 can be connected to a water pump, allowing water or a cleaning solution to be injected into the cleaning chamber 210.

[0045] For example, the inner wall of the housing 200 may also be provided with a second liquid injection port 230 that communicates with the cleaning chamber 210, and the cleaning device 10 may include a suction pump 900. The second liquid injection port 230 is spaced apart from the first liquid injection port 220 and can communicate with the suction pump 900, which can inject cleaning agents or other liquids into the cleaning chamber 210 through the second liquid injection port 230.

[0046] The cleaning chamber 210 can also be used to accommodate at least one filter element 20. When the filter element 20 is accommodated in the cleaning chamber 210, the length direction of the filter element 20 can be parallel to the length direction of the housing 200. When the cleaning chamber 210 contains multiple filter elements 20, each filter element 20 can be arranged along the width direction of the housing 200.

[0047] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 4 The cleaning chamber 210 of the housing 200 is equipped with a rotating shaft 240. The length direction of the rotating shaft 240 can be parallel or approximately parallel to the length direction of the housing 200. There are multiple rotating shafts 240, which are spaced apart from each other and can be arranged sequentially along the width direction of the housing 200.

[0048] The housing 200 is also provided with a bearing cylinder 241, which is sleeved on the rotating shaft 240. There may be one bearing cylinder 241 on one rotating shaft 240; or, there may be multiple bearing cylinders 241 on one rotating shaft 240, and the multiple bearing cylinders 241 on one rotating shaft 240 may be spaced apart along the length of the rotating shaft 240.

[0049] The support cylinder 241 is provided with multiple rolling protrusions 242, which can be arranged in an array on the outer peripheral surface of the support cylinder 241. The outer peripheral surface of the support cylinder 241 can be used to place the filter element 20, and the filter element 20 can be placed between the support cylinders 241 on two adjacent rotating shafts 240. As a result, the filter element 20 is less likely to shake in the cleaning chamber 210, thereby avoiding collisions between the filter element 20 and the housing 200, and also avoiding collisions between different filter elements 20, thus preventing damage to the filter element 20.

[0050] The rotating shaft 240 can rotate relative to the housing 200. For example, a motor 250 can be installed on the housing 200, and the rotating shaft 240 can be connected to the motor 250 for transmission. The motor 250 can drive the rotating shaft 240 to rotate, so that the carrier cylinder 241 can drive the filter element 20 to rotate relative to the housing 200. With the above arrangement, the filter element 20 can rotate relative to the cleaning assembly 300 during the cleaning process to clean different positions on the outer circumference of the filter element 20, thereby improving the cleaning effect. Furthermore, the rolling protrusion 242 can increase the friction between the carrier cylinder 241 and the filter element 20, so that the carrier cylinder 241 can drive the filter element 20 to rotate.

[0051] In the example above, there can be five rotating shafts 240, and correspondingly, the cleaning chamber 210 can accommodate up to four filter elements 20. Of course, in other examples, there can also be four, six, or other numbers of rotating shafts 240.

[0052] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 5 The cleaning equipment 10 includes a cleaning component 300, which is located on the main body 100 and can be housed in the equipment cabinet 110. Along the height direction of the main body 100, the cleaning component 300 is located above the cabinet 200 and is used to clean the filter element 20 in the cleaning chamber 210.

[0053] Both the housing 200 and the cleaning components 300 are housed within the equipment cabinet 110, preventing liquids, slurries, or impurities from splashing outside the main equipment 100 during the cleaning of the filter element 20. This facilitates "5S management" of the work environment. Here, "5S management" can be understood as managing sorting, tidying, sweeping, cleaning, and personnel discipline in the work environment. Furthermore, the equipment cabinet 110 prevents corrosive pollutants such as slurries from combining with moisture and being exposed to the work environment, thereby reducing or even eliminating any impact on the health of workers.

[0054] The cleaning assembly 300 includes a cleaning frame 330 and a nozzle 310. The cleaning frame 330 is disposed on the main body 100 of the equipment, and the nozzle 310 is disposed on the cleaning frame 330. The nozzle 310 can spray liquid into the filter element 20 in the cleaning chamber 210 to clean the filter element 20. For example, the nozzle 310 can spray liquids such as water or cleaning agent solution. The cleaning frame 330 can move relative to the housing 200 to move the nozzle 310 relative to the filter element 20 within the housing 200, cleaning different positions of the filter element 20, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0055] In one embodiment, please combine Figure 5 and Figure 6The nozzle 310 includes a first nozzle 311 and a second nozzle 312, which are spaced apart from each other. For example, the first nozzle 311 and the second nozzle 312 can be spaced apart along the length of the housing 200; or, the first nozzle 311 and the second nozzle 312 can also be spaced apart along the width of the housing 200.

[0056] The first nozzle 311 has a larger nozzle cross-sectional area than the second nozzle 312. Compared to the second nozzle 312, the first nozzle 311 sprays a larger volume of water. The first nozzle 311 can be used to perform a coarse wash on the filter element 20. For example, the first nozzle 311 can be used to clean the slurry adhering to the outer circumferential surface of the filter element 20.

[0057] The cross-sectional area of ​​the nozzle of the second nozzle 312 is smaller than that of the nozzle of the first nozzle 311. Compared with the first nozzle 311, the water pressure sprayed by the second nozzle 312 is greater. The second nozzle 312 can be used to perform fine cleaning of the filter element 20. For example, the second nozzle 312 can be used to clean impurities or particles that clog the filter screen.

[0058] With the above configuration, the cleaning assembly 300 can perform coarse washing and fine washing respectively through the first nozzle 311 and the second nozzle 312. For example, the cleaning assembly 300 can first perform coarse washing on the filter element 20 through the first nozzle 311, and then perform fine washing on the filter element 20 through the second nozzle 312, thereby improving the cleaning effect on the filter element 20.

[0059] Please combine Figure 3 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, a first nozzle 311 and a second nozzle 312 are spaced apart in the height direction of the cleaning device 10, with the nozzle of the first nozzle 311 being higher than the nozzle of the second nozzle 312. Therefore, the second nozzle 312 is closer to the filter element 20 in the cleaning chamber 210 than the first nozzle 311.

[0060] With the above settings, the greater distance between the first nozzle 311 and the filter element 20 increases the spray range of the first nozzle 311, thereby increasing the cleaning area of ​​the first nozzle 311 and improving the coarse cleaning effect. The closer distance between the second nozzle 312 and the filter element 20 increases the impact force of the water flow and improves the fine cleaning effect.

[0061] In the above embodiments, multiple first nozzles 311 and second nozzles 312 can be provided, and the number of first nozzles 311 and the number of second nozzles 312 can be equal. Each first nozzle 311 can be spaced apart along the width direction of the housing 200, and each second nozzle 312 can also be spaced apart along the width direction of the housing 200. Along the length direction of the housing 200, each second nozzle 312 can correspond to a different first nozzle 311.

[0062] With the above configuration, when the cleaning chamber 210 contains multiple filter elements 20, multiple first nozzles 311 and multiple second nozzles 312 can clean different filter elements 20 respectively, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning equipment 10.

[0063] In one example, two first nozzles 311 and two second nozzles 312 can be provided. The two first nozzles 311 can be spaced apart along the width direction of the housing 200, and the two second nozzles 312 can also be spaced apart along the width direction of the housing 200. Furthermore, along the length direction of the housing 200, one first nozzle 311 and one second nozzle 312 are spaced apart, and another first nozzle 311 and another second nozzle 312 are spaced apart.

[0064] Thus, in the example where the cleaning chamber 210 contains at least two filter elements 20, a first nozzle 311 and a second nozzle 312 can clean one of the filter elements 20, and another first nozzle 311 and another second nozzle 312 can clean the other of the filter elements 20, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the cleaning device 10.

[0065] Of course, in other examples, the first nozzle 311 and the second nozzle 312 may also be provided in three, four or more.

[0066] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 The cleaning equipment 10 also includes a liquid supply assembly 400, which is connected to the nozzle 310 and is used to supply liquid to the nozzle 310 so that the nozzle 310 can spray liquid onto the filter element 20. The liquid supply assembly 400 may be located inside the main body 100 of the equipment.

[0067] In some implementations, the liquid supply assembly 400 includes a water pump. In one example, there may be one water pump, with both the first nozzle 311 and the second nozzle 312 connected to it. In another example, there may be two water pumps, namely a first water pump 410 and a second water pump 420, with the first nozzle 311 connected to the first water pump 410 and the second nozzle 312 connected to the second water pump 420.

[0068] Each water pump can be at least one of a booster pump, a high-pressure plunger pump, or a submersible pump. For example, the first water pump 410 connected to the first nozzle 311 can be a booster pump, and the second water pump 420 connected to the second nozzle 312 can be a high-pressure plunger pump.

[0069] In the example where the second water pump 420 is a high-pressure plunger pump, the second water pump 420 can have a built-in pressure sensor that can be used to detect the water flow rate of the second water pump 420. When the water flow rate is insufficient, the second water pump 420 can stop working or reduce its load to avoid wear.

[0070] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning assembly 300 also includes an ultrasonic generator 320, which is mounted on the cleaning rack 330. The ultrasonic generator 320 can extend into the liquid in the cleaning chamber 210 and is used to generate ultrasonic waves to cause the liquid to vibrate.

[0071] With the above configuration, the ultrasonic generator 320 can induce cavitation in the liquid within the cleaning chamber 210. During cavitation, numerous tiny bubbles are generated and burst in the liquid, thereby peeling off and flushing away slurry or impurities adhering to the filter element 20, thus improving the cleaning effect. Simultaneously, the cleaning rack 330 can also drive the ultrasonic generator 320 to clean different locations on the filter element 20, further enhancing the cleaning effect.

[0072] In one embodiment, please refer back to Figure 4 The cleaning device 10 includes a first liquid level sensor 261, which is disposed within the cleaning chamber 210 and used to detect the liquid level within the cleaning chamber 210. The first liquid level sensor 261 can be located closer to the top of the cleaning chamber 210 than the bottom, and can be positioned at the height of the highest liquid level in the cleaning chamber 210 to detect whether the liquid level in the cleaning chamber 210 has reached the highest level. In some implementations, the first liquid level sensor 261 may include at least one of a float switch, a capacitive liquid level sensor, or an immersion liquid level sensor.

[0073] like Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning device 10 may also include a controller 500, which may be located on the main body 100 of the device, for example, on the device cabinet 110. The controller 500 may be electrically connected to the first liquid level sensor 261. During the process of injecting liquid into the cleaning chamber 210, when the liquid level is equal to the height of the first liquid level sensor 261, the first liquid level sensor 261 may send an electrical signal to the controller 500 to stop injecting liquid into the cleaning chamber 210.

[0074] In one embodiment, the nozzle of the spray head 310 and the ultrasonic generator 320 are both below the height of the first liquid level sensor 261, that is, the nozzle of the spray head 310 and the ultrasonic generator 320 are both below the highest liquid level in the cleaning chamber 210.

[0075] The ultrasonic generator 320 can be electrically connected to the controller 500. When the first liquid level sensor 261 detects that the liquid level in the cleaning chamber 210 has reached the highest level, the ultrasonic generator 320 is located in the liquid in the cleaning chamber 210. The controller 500 controls the ultrasonic generator 320 to generate ultrasonic waves to clean the filter element 20.

[0076] The liquid supply assembly 400 can also be electrically connected to the controller 500. When the first liquid level sensor 261 detects that the liquid level in the cleaning chamber 210 has reached the highest liquid level, the nozzle of the nozzle 310 is located below the liquid surface, and the controller 500 controls the liquid supply assembly 400 to supply liquid to the nozzle 310 to clean the filter element 20.

[0077] With the above configuration, the nozzle 310 can spray liquid below the liquid surface, flushing slurry, impurities, and other deposits on the filter element 20 into the liquid within the cleaning chamber 210. This prevents slurry and other deposits from splashing, facilitating "5S management" of the work environment and preventing corrosive pollutants such as slurry from being exposed to the work environment and affecting the health of workers. Furthermore, by controlling the nozzle 310 and the ultrasonic generator 320 through the controller 500 to replace manual cleaning of the filter element 20, the workload of workers can be reduced, and cleaning efficiency can be improved.

[0078] In the above embodiments, the nozzles of both the first nozzle 311 and the second nozzle 312 can be lower than the height of the first liquid level sensor 261. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the nozzle of the first nozzle 311 can be higher than the height of the first liquid level sensor 261.

[0079] In one embodiment, the ultrasonic generator 320 is positioned at a height higher than the nozzle of the second nozzle 312 and lower than the nozzle of the first nozzle 311. Furthermore, the bottom of the ultrasonic generator 320 is closer to the nozzle of the second nozzle 312 than the nozzle of the first nozzle 311.

[0080] With the above setup, when the liquid level in the cleaning chamber 210 reaches its maximum, the nozzles of the ultrasonic generator 320 and the second nozzle 312 can both extend into the liquid in the cleaning chamber 210 to clean the filter element 20. This facilitates "5S management" of the work environment and prevents corrosive contaminants such as slurry from being exposed to the work environment, thus protecting the health of workers.

[0081] In one embodiment, please refer back to Figure 4The cleaning device 10 may further include a second liquid level sensor 262, which is disposed within the cleaning chamber 210 and used to detect the liquid level within the cleaning chamber 210. The second liquid level sensor 262 may be located closer to the bottom of the cleaning chamber 210 than the top of the cleaning chamber 210, and may be positioned at the height of the lowest liquid level in the cleaning chamber 210 to detect whether the liquid level in the cleaning chamber 210 has reached the lowest level.

[0082] In some implementations, the second liquid level sensor 262 may include at least one of a float switch, a capacitive liquid level sensor, or an immersion liquid level sensor. For example, the first liquid level sensor 261 and the second liquid level sensor 262 may together constitute a dual float switch, where the first liquid level sensor 261 can be one float in the dual float switch, and the second liquid level sensor 262 can be the other float in the dual float switch. Accordingly, the first liquid level sensor 261 and the second liquid level sensor 262 may be arranged at intervals in the height direction of the cleaning device 10.

[0083] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the housing 200 may be equipped with a drain pipe 270 communicating with the bottom of the cleaning chamber 210. A drain valve 280 may be installed on the drain pipe 270, which is used to open or close the drain pipe 270. The controller 500 may be electrically connected to the drain valve 280. During the cleaning of the filter element 20, when the liquid level in the cleaning chamber 210 exceeds the height of the first liquid level sensor 261, the first liquid level sensor 261 can send an electrical signal to the controller 500. The controller 500 can then control the drain valve 280 to open the drain pipe 270 and drain the liquid, thus preventing the liquid in the cleaning chamber 210 from overflowing. The drain valve 280 may include at least one of a butterfly valve or a check valve.

[0084] In some implementations, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning device 10 may further include a third liquid level sensor 263, which is disposed within the cleaning chamber 210 and used to detect the liquid level within the cleaning chamber 210. In the height direction of the cleaning device 10, the third liquid level sensor 263 may be located between the first liquid level sensor 261 and the second liquid level sensor 262. Compared to the second liquid level sensor 262, the third liquid level sensor 263 may be closer to the first liquid level sensor 261.

[0085] The controller 500 can be electrically connected to the third liquid level sensor 263. During the process of the tank 200 draining water through the drain pipe 270, when the liquid level in the cleaning chamber 210 drops to the height of the third liquid level sensor 263, the third liquid level sensor 263 can send an electrical signal to the controller 500. The controller 500 can control the drain valve 280 to close the drain pipe 270 to prevent the liquid in the cleaning chamber 210 from drying out.

[0086] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the cleaning device 10 may further include a temperature sensor 264, which is disposed inside the cleaning chamber 210 and used to detect the temperature inside the cleaning chamber 210. The controller 500 can be electrically connected to the temperature sensor 264 and is used to receive the temperature value detected by the temperature sensor 264, thereby ensuring that the cleaning device 10 operates at a suitable temperature and facilitating the control of the liquid temperature inside the cleaning chamber 210, which is beneficial to improving the cleaning effect on the filter element 20.

[0087] In some implementations, the temperature sensor 264 may include at least one of a resistance temperature detector (RTD), a thermocouple, or an integrated sensor.

[0088] In one embodiment, please combine Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cleaning equipment 10 also includes a first drive unit 600, which is located on the main body 100 and inside the equipment cabinet 110. A cleaning assembly 300 is mounted on the first drive unit 600; for example, the cleaning rack 330 of the cleaning assembly 300 can be mounted on the first drive unit 600. The first drive unit 600 drives the cleaning assembly 300 to move relative to the cabinet 200. Thus, the cleaning rack 330 can drive the nozzle 310 and the ultrasonic generator 320 to move relative to the cabinet 200.

[0089] For example, the first driving device 600 can drive the cleaning assembly 300 to move from one end of the cleaning chamber 210 to the other end along the length direction of the housing 200 to clean the filter element 20. Alternatively, the first driving device 600 can also drive the cleaning assembly 300 to move along the width direction of the housing 200, so that the cleaning assembly 300 can clean different filter elements 20. Of course, in other examples, the first driving device 600 can also drive the cleaning assembly 300 to move in other directions such as the height direction of the housing 200. Alternatively, the first driving device 600 can drive the cleaning assembly 300 to rotate relative to the housing 200.

[0090] In some implementations, such as Figure 3As shown, the first driving device 600 may include a first slide rail 610 and a first slider 620. The first slide rail 610 is disposed on the device body 100. The extending direction of the first slide rail 610 may be parallel to the length direction of the housing 200. The first slider 620 is slidably connected to the first slide rail 610 and can slide along the extending direction of the first slide rail 610.

[0091] The first driving device 600 further includes a second slide rail 630 and a second slider 640, with the second slide rail 630 disposed on the first slider 620. An angle is formed between the extending directions of the first slide rail 610 and the second slide rail 630; for example, the extending direction of the second slide rail 630 may be parallel to the width direction of the housing 200. Correspondingly, the angle between the first slide rail 610 and the second slide rail 630 may be equal to or approximately equal to ninety degrees. The second slider 640 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 630 and can slide along the extending direction of the second slide rail 630.

[0092] The cleaning component 300 is mounted on the second slider 640. Thus, when the second slider 640 slides on the second slide rail 630, the second slider 640 can drive the cleaning component 300 to move along the width direction of the housing 200. When the first slider 620 slides on the first slide rail 610, the first slider 620 can drive the cleaning component 300 to move along the length direction of the housing 200.

[0093] In one embodiment, please combine Figure 1 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 The cleaning equipment 10 also includes a cabinet 700 spaced apart from the main body 100. The cabinet 700 contains a plurality of cleaning cylinders 710 arranged along the width of the cabinet 700. The length of each cleaning cylinder 710 can be parallel or approximately parallel to the height of the cabinet 700.

[0094] The cleaning cylinder 710 includes a cleaning tank 711, which extends along the length of the cleaning cylinder 710. The length of the cleaning tank 711 is parallel or approximately parallel to the height direction of the cabinet 700. The cleaning tank 711 can be used to accommodate the filter element 20. When the filter element 20 is placed in the cleaning tank 711, the height direction of the filter element 20 is parallel or approximately parallel to the height direction of the cabinet 700.

[0095] The cabinet 700 is also equipped with multiple third nozzles 720. The number of third nozzles 720 can be equal to the number of cleaning cylinders 710, and each third nozzle 720 can be located in a different cleaning tank 711. Thus, when the filter element 20 is placed in the cleaning tank 711, the third nozzles 720 can extend into the interior of the filter element 20 and spray liquid onto the inner wall of the filter element 20 to clean it.

[0096] With the above configuration, the cleaning equipment 10 can clean the outer peripheral surface of the filter element 20 through the housing 200 and the cleaning component 300, and can also clean the inside of the filter element 20 through the cabinet 700 and the third nozzle 720, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the filter element 20.

[0097] In some implementations, the cabinet 700 may be equipped with multiple liquid supply pipes 730, and each third nozzle 720 is respectively mounted on a different liquid supply pipe 730 and connected to the corresponding liquid supply pipe 730. The liquid supply pipe 730 is used to supply liquid to the third nozzle 720. For example, the liquid supply pipe 730 may be connected to the liquid supply assembly 400, and the liquid supply assembly 400 may supply liquid to the third nozzle 720. Each third nozzle 720 is located at the end of the liquid supply pipe 730 near the cleaning cylinder 710, so that it can extend into the cleaning tank 711 and the filter element 20.

[0098] In the above example, the number of filter elements 20 housed in cabinet 700 can be equal to the number of filter elements 20 housed in box 200. For example, in an example where there are five rotating shafts 240 in box 200, there can be four cleaning cylinders 710 and four third nozzles 720. Accordingly, both cabinet 700 and box 200 can house four filter elements 20. Of course, in other examples, there can be three, five, or other quantities of cleaning cylinders 710 and third nozzles 720.

[0099] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the cleaning equipment 10 also includes a second drive unit 800, which is mounted on the cabinet 700. A cleaning cylinder 710 is mounted on the second drive unit 800, which drives the cleaning cylinder 710 to move relative to the third nozzle 720. For example, the second drive unit 800 can drive the cleaning cylinder 710 to move along the height of the cabinet 700. Thus, the cleaning cylinder 710 can move the filter element 20 relative to the third nozzle 720, allowing the third nozzle 720 to clean different locations inside the filter element 20, improving the cleaning effect on the filter element 20.

[0100] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9The second driving device 800 may include a cylinder 810, the cylinder barrel 811 of which is mounted on the cabinet 700. The length direction of the piston rod 812 of the cylinder 810 may be parallel or approximately parallel to the height direction of the cabinet 700. The second driving device 800 also includes a mounting frame 820, which includes a first clamping plate 821, a second clamping plate 822, and a connecting frame 823. The first clamping plate 821 and the second clamping plate 822 are spaced apart, and the length direction of the first clamping plate 821 is parallel or approximately parallel to the length direction of the second clamping plate 822. Both the first clamping plate 821 and the second clamping plate 822 are mounted on the connecting frame 823 and are mounted on the piston rod 812 through the connecting frame 823. There is an angle between the length direction of the first clamping plate 821 and the length direction of the piston rod 812; for example, the length direction of the first clamping plate 821 may be perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to the length direction of the piston rod 812. Thus, the cylinder 810 can drive the mounting frame 820 to move along the height direction of the cabinet 700.

[0101] Each cleaning cylinder 710 is connected between the first clamping plate 821 and the second clamping plate 822, and is arranged along the length of the first clamping plate 821. Thus, the cylinder 810 can drive the mounting bracket 820 to move the cleaning cylinders 710 along the height of the cabinet 700, thereby moving the filter element 20 relative to the third nozzle 720 to clean different positions inside the filter element 20, improving the cleaning effect.

[0102] In the above example, two cylinders 810 can be provided, arranged along the length of the mounting frame 820 and connected to both ends of the mounting frame 820 respectively, to jointly drive the mounting frame 820 to move. One cylinder 810 is connected to one end of the first clamping plate 821 and one end of the second clamping plate 822, while the other cylinder 810 is connected to the other ends of the first clamping plate 821 and the second clamping plate 822. This arrangement allows the cleaning cylinder 710 and the filter element 20 within it to move relatively stably relative to the third spray head 720.

[0103] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit them; although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some or as many of the technical features as possible; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
