Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning equipment technology, specifically to a cleaning equipment for livestock and veterinary tools. Background Technology

[0002] In livestock and veterinary clinical diagnosis, disease prevention, and reproductive improvement, surgical instruments, syringes, artificial insemination guns, and other tools inevitably become contaminated with organic pollutants such as blood, tissue fluid, mucus, and feces after use. These pollutants are ideal carriers for various animal disease pathogens (such as African swine fever virus, foot-and-mouth disease virus, and Brucella). If cleaning is not thorough and disinfection is not strict, these tools can easily become transmission vectors, causing cross-infection between individual animals and even between groups, posing a serious threat to the biosecurity system of farms, and may even affect public health and safety.

[0003] Currently, many small and medium-sized farms or veterinary stations still mainly rely on traditional manual cleaning methods, namely manual brushing and soaking. This method has significant drawbacks: First, the cleaning effect is difficult to guarantee. For tools with complex structures, long and narrow cavities, or joints, manual brushing leaves blind spots, making it easy for contaminants and pathogens to remain. Second, the cleaning efficiency is low and cannot meet the timeliness requirements for tool turnover in large-scale farms. Finally, throughout the cleaning process, operators need to be in close contact with contaminated equipment, greatly increasing the occupational exposure risk of zoonotic diseases such as brucellosis.

[0004] While existing general-purpose cleaning equipment (such as simple ultrasonic cleaners or fixed spray systems) alleviates the burden of manpower to some extent, their cleaning modes are often relatively simple and static, making it difficult to effectively clean veterinary tools of various shapes and sizes from all angles. This is especially true for highly adhesive organic matter, where the cleaning effect is unsatisfactory. Furthermore, traditional cleaning processes typically separate cleaning, drying, and disinfection into multiple independent steps, making the operation cumbersome and lacking the ability to simultaneously perform heat disinfection during the cleaning process. Therefore, improvements to existing technologies are necessary. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning device for livestock and veterinary tools, which solves the problems of poor cleaning quality and inconvenience in disinfecting tools.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cleaning device for livestock and veterinary tools, comprising a cleaning box, a box cover hinged to the upper end of the cleaning box, a rotating spray pipe installed inside the cleaning box via bearings, a cleaning cage fixedly installed on the outer side of the rotating spray pipe, a cage cover hinged to the outer side of the cleaning cage, a switching mechanism provided on the cleaning cage, two symmetrically distributed high-pressure spray pipes fixedly connected inside the box cover, a motor fixedly installed in the lower middle part of the left end of the cleaning box, an air jet pipe fixedly installed at the lower end of the cleaning box, multiple evenly distributed fixing frames fixedly installed inside the air jet pipe, guide pins slidably connected inside the fixing frames, a spring provided on the outer side of the guide pins, and a sealing cap fixedly installed at one end of the guide pins.

[0007] Preferably, one end of the high-pressure injection pipe is fixedly installed with an internally threaded pipe, and the right end of the rotary injection pipe is internally installed with a connecting bend through a shaft seal. The inlet end of the connecting bend is connected to the external heating water tank pipeline with a pump. The inlet end of the internally threaded pipe is also connected to the heating water tank through a diversion pipeline, and a control valve is installed on the diversion pipeline.

[0008] Preferably, two symmetrically distributed sealing rings are fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the cleaning tank. The sealing rings are rotatably connected to the rotating spray pipe and contact the cleaning cage. The sealing rings are made of wear-resistant rubber material and have a lip-shaped sealing structure to ensure a dynamic sealing effect with the rotating parts.

[0009] Preferably, a drain pipe is fixedly installed at the lower left end of the cleaning tank, a valve is installed on the outside of the drain pipe, the output shaft of the motor is connected to the rotary spray pipe by a coupling, and the diameter of the drain pipe is not less than millimeters to ensure that the turbid cleaning liquid containing dirt can be discharged quickly.

[0010] Preferably, the sealing cap contacts the inlet of the jet pipe, one end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the guide pin, the other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the fixing bracket, and the air inlet of the jet pipe is connected to a hot air generator through a pipeline, which can provide controllable hot air with a temperature between ℃ and ℃.

[0011] Preferably, the switching mechanism includes a fixing plate, two symmetrically distributed fixing plates are fixedly installed on the outside of the cleaning cage, a sliding rod is slidably connected inside the fixing plate, a locking pin is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod, a locking frame is fixedly connected to the outside of the cage cover, a spring is provided on the outside of the sliding rod, a pull ring is fixedly connected to the other end of the sliding rod, and the locking pin can lock the cage cover through the locking frame.

[0012] Preferably, the pull ring contacts the fixing plate, the locking post is slidably connected to the locking frame, one end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the locking post, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the fixing plate. The second spring is always in a compressed state, and the locking force it provides to the locking post can make the locking post stably inserted into the interior of the locking frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. This utility model uses a motor to drive a rotating spray pipe and a cleaning cage to rotate at a low speed, causing the tools placed inside the cage to continuously tumble and change angles. At the same time, the cleaning fluid sprayed from the rotating spray pipe itself and the cleaning fluid sprayed from the two fixed high-pressure spray pipes from above together form a three-dimensional, multi-angle dynamic rinsing network. This composite cleaning mode of "tool movement + water flow" can effectively impact the contaminants attached to the tool surface and the inside of complex structures (such as cavities, threads, and joints), completely solving the dead angle problem of traditional static cleaning.

[0015] 2. This utility model generates a large number of bubbles in the cleaning liquid by introducing a high-temperature airflow into the jet pipe, producing a "gas-liquid mixing" effect. The bursting of the bubbles can better remove dirt and improve the cleaning effect. After cleaning and sewage discharge, the continuously introduced high-temperature airflow can directly dry the damp tools in the cleaning cage. At the same time, the high temperature is used to achieve effective pasteurization, killing a variety of common animal disease pathogens. This design integrates the three key steps of cleaning, disinfection and drying into the same equipment and completes them continuously, which greatly improves work efficiency, avoids the risk of secondary contamination caused by the transfer of tools, and also reduces the risk of operators coming into contact with pathogens.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-9 A cleaning device for livestock and veterinary tools includes a cleaning box 1, a box cover 2 hinged to the upper end of the cleaning box 1, a rotating spray pipe 3 installed inside the cleaning box 1 via bearings, a cleaning cage 4 fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating spray pipe 3, a cage cover 5 hinged to the outside of the cleaning cage 4, a switch mechanism 6 provided on the cleaning cage 4, two symmetrically distributed high-pressure spray pipes 7 fixedly connected inside the box cover 2, a motor 10 fixedly installed in the lower middle part of the left end of the cleaning box 1, a jet pipe 14 fixedly installed at the lower end of the cleaning box 1, a plurality of evenly distributed fixing frames 15 fixedly installed inside the jet pipe 14, a guide pin 16 slidably connected inside the fixing frame 15, a spring 17 provided on the outside of the guide pin 16, and a sealing cap 18 fixedly installed at one end of the guide pin 16.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-9One end of the high-pressure jet pipe 7 is fixedly installed with an internally threaded pipe 8. The right end of the rotating jet pipe 3 is internally installed with a connecting elbow 9 via a shaft seal. The inlet end of the connecting elbow 9 is connected to the external heating water tank pipeline with a pump. The inlet end of the internally threaded pipe 8 is also connected to the heating water tank via a branch pipeline, and a control valve is installed on the branch pipeline. Two symmetrically distributed sealing rings 11 are fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. The sealing rings 11 are rotatably connected to the rotating jet pipe 3 and are in contact with the cleaning cage 4. The sealing rings 11 are made of wear-resistant rubber material and have a lip-shaped sealing structure to ensure a dynamic sealing effect with the rotating parts. A drain pipe 12 is fixedly installed on the lower left side of the cleaning tank 1. A valve 13 is installed on the outside of the drain pipe 12. The output shaft of the motor 10 is connected to the rotary jet pipe 3 through a coupling. The diameter of the drain pipe 12 is not less than 50 mm to ensure that the turbid cleaning liquid containing dirt can be discharged quickly. The sealing cover 18 contacts the opening of the jet pipe 14. One end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the guide pin 16, and the other end of the spring 17 is fixedly connected to the fixing bracket 15. The air inlet of the jet pipe 14 is connected to a hot air generator through a pipeline. The hot air generator can provide controllable hot air with a temperature between 80°C and 170°C.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-9 The switching mechanism 6 includes a fixing plate 61. Two symmetrically distributed fixing plates 61 are fixedly installed on the outside of the cleaning cage 4. A sliding rod 62 is slidably connected inside the fixing plate 61. A locking pin 63 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod 62. A locking frame 64 is fixedly connected to the outside of the cage cover 5. A second spring 66 is provided on the outside of the sliding rod 62. A pull ring 65 is fixedly connected to the other end of the sliding rod 62. The locking pin 63 can lock the cage cover 5 through the locking frame 64. The pull ring 65 contacts the fixing plate 61. The locking pin 63 is slidably connected to the locking frame 64. One end of the second spring 66 is fixedly connected to the locking pin 63. The other end of the second spring 66 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 61. The second spring 66 is always in a compressed state. The locking force it provides to the locking pin 63 can make the locking pin 63 stably inserted into the inside of the locking frame 64.

[0030] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: 1. Loading tool: Pull the pull ring 65 outward, which will drive the slide rod 62 and locking pin 63 to compress the second spring 66 and move backward, so that the locking pin 63 is dislodged from the locking frame 64. Open the cage cover 5, and put the livestock and veterinary tools to be cleaned evenly into the cleaning cage 4 to avoid excessive accumulation. Close the cage cover 5, release the pull ring 65, and under the restoring force of the second spring 66, the locking pin 63 will automatically slide into the lock hole of the locking frame 64, and reliably lock the cage cover 5. Close the box cover 2.

[0031] II. Dynamic Cleaning and Gas-Liquid Mixing: The external system's heating water tank and power pump are activated. The control valve is adjusted to divert the cleaning solution (hot water or disinfectant) to the connecting bend 9 and high-pressure spray pipe 7. The cleaning solution enters the continuously rotating, slowly rotating spray pipe 3 through the connecting bend 9, spraying outwards from its surface nozzles. Simultaneously, two high-pressure water jets spray downwards from the fixed high-pressure spray pipe 7, providing a three-dimensional, multi-angle cleaning of the tools. The motor 10 is started, driving the rotating spray pipe 3 and the cleaning cage 4 to rotate at a low speed, causing the tools inside the cage to tumble continuously, ensuring all surfaces are effectively cleaned. Simultaneously, the hot air generator is activated, introducing a high-temperature airflow of 80℃-170℃ into the air jet pipe 14. The airflow pushes open the sealing cover 18 and enters the bottom of the cleaning tank 1, forming numerous bubbles in the cleaning solution, creating a "gas-liquid mixing" effect. This assists in removing stubborn stains and increases the cleaning solution temperature, initially achieving a disinfection effect.

[0032] 3. Wastewater discharge: After the cleaning process is completed, turn off the power pump, motor 10 and hot air generator in sequence, and open the valve 13 on the drain pipe 12. At this time, the jet pipe 14 stops supplying air. Under the combined action of the negative pressure in the box and the spring 17, the sealing cover 18 tightly closes the pipe opening to prevent wastewater backflow. The cleaning liquid containing dirt is quickly and thoroughly discharged through the large-diameter drain pipe 12 under the action of gravity.

[0033] Step 4: Drying and disinfection: After the wastewater has been completely drained, the hot air generator and motor 10 are restarted. The high-temperature dry airflow pushes open the sealing cover 18 again and blows directly onto the continuously tumbling cleaning cage 4 and the tools inside. The high-temperature airflow quickly evaporates the residual moisture on the surface of the tools and uses continuous heat to pasteurize the tools, effectively killing any remaining pathogenic microorganisms. After the set drying and disinfection time has been reached, all equipment power is turned off. After the equipment stops running and cools down, the box cover 2 and cage cover 5 are opened, and the clean, dry and disinfected tools are taken out.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
