[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides a technical solution: a down disinfection and cleaning mechanism, comprising a steam generator 4, a concrete foundation 2 and a tank 1, wherein the tank 1 is fixedly installed on the concrete foundation 2.

[0024] The tank body 1 is a horizontally placed cylindrical shape. A quick-opening blind flange 13 is hinged to the open end of the tank body 1, and cleaning components are installed on the tank body 1.

[0025] The quick-opening blind flange 13, hinged to the open end of tank 1, allows for rapid opening and closing, facilitating the loading and unloading of down while ensuring a tight seal during the cleaning process. The cleaning components installed on tank 1 enable efficient cleaning and disinfection of the down, improving its cleanliness and hygiene standards and guaranteeing its quality.

[0026] The cleaning components include a motor 18, a rotating shaft 23, a support beam 16, and a rotating cage 21. The support beam 16 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the open end of the tank 1. One end of the rotating shaft 23 is rotatably installed with the support beam 16, and the other end of the rotating shaft 23 is rotatably installed with the closed end wall of the tank 1. Multiple connecting rods 24 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 23, and the ends of the connecting rods 24 away from the rotating shaft 23 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating cage 21. Multiple striking rods 25 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 23. The motor 18 is drively connected to the rotating shaft 23, and the motor 18 drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate.

[0027] The support beam 16 is fixed to the inner wall of the tank 1 to provide stable support for the rotating shaft 23. The two ends of the rotating shaft 23 are rotatably connected to the support beam 16 and the closed end wall of the tank 1, forming a stable rotating structure. Multiple connecting rods 24 connect the rotating shaft 23 to the rotating cage 21, ensuring that the rotating cage 21 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 23. Multiple beating rods 25 on the rotating shaft 23 can beat the down inside the rotating cage 21 during rotation, promoting down dispersion and fluffiness, and improving the cleaning effect. The motor 18 drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate through a transmission mechanism, providing power to the entire cleaning component, achieving efficient cleaning of the down, effectively removing stains, and ensuring the fluffiness and cleanliness of the down.

[0028] The steam outlet of the steam generator 4 is connected to the interior of the tank 1.

[0029] The steam generator 4 is used to produce steam. The steam produced by the steam generator 4 is introduced into the tank 1 to thoroughly disinfect and sterilize the down, effectively killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi, and improving the hygiene standards of the down. Each beating rod 25 is used to beat the down in the rotating cage 21, gently beating the damp down to break the adhesion between the fibers, so that the down gradually disperses and fluffs up; at the same time, airflow or water flow in the gaps between the fibers, further supporting the fiber structure and forming a stable fluid layer.

[0030] Specifically, a down disinfection and cleaning mechanism also includes a truss 3, which is fixedly installed on one side of a concrete foundation 2, a steam generator 4 is fixedly installed on the truss 3, and a support 17 is fixedly installed on the truss 3.

[0031] Among them, truss 3 is used to support and fix steam generator 4, support fixed support 17, and provide an operating platform for staff.

[0032] More specifically, a steam pipe 5 is fixedly installed at the steam outlet end of the steam generator 4. The end of the steam pipe 5 away from the steam generator 4 is fixedly installed with the tank body 1, and the steam pipe 5 is connected to the inside of the tank body 1.

[0033] The steam generator 4 is used to produce steam, which is introduced into the tank 1 through the steam pipe 5. The high-temperature steam is used to sterilize the down feathers inside the tank 1. The steam pipe 5 is used to guide the steam.

[0034] More specifically, the motor 18 is fixedly mounted on the support 17, and the reducer 22 is fixedly mounted on the support 17. The output shaft end of the motor 18 is coaxially fixedly mounted with the power input end of the reducer 22. The power output shaft of the reducer 22 is connected to the rotating shaft 23 for transmission, and the reducer 22 drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate.

[0035] The support 17 is used to support and fix the motor 18 and the reducer 22. After the motor 18 starts, the power is reduced and amplified by the reducer 22 and transmitted to the rotating shaft 23, which drives the rotating shaft 23 and the rotating cage 21 and the beating rod 25 to rotate, thereby cleaning and beating the down, ensuring that the down is evenly dispersed and fluffy, and improving the cleaning effect. In actual implementation, the speed of the rotating cage 21 is controlled at 50-80 rpm by the reducer 22 to avoid the down from clumping or breaking due to excessive speed.

[0036] Specifically, a water inlet pipe 9, an air inlet pipe 11, and a pressure gauge 12 are fixedly installed on the top wall of the tank body 1. Both the water inlet pipe 9 and the air inlet pipe 11 are connected to the inside of the tank body 1. A first control valve 10 is installed on the water inlet pipe 9, and a third control valve 26 is installed on the air inlet pipe 11.

[0037] The water inlet pipe 9 is used to inject cleaning water into the tank 1. The air inlet pipe 11 is used to connect to an air source device (such as a blower). Its functions are: 1) to provide warm air for drying or air-drying the down after dehydration; and 2) to use a strong airflow to blow the down out of the tank 1, achieving rapid discharge. The first control valve 10 on the water inlet pipe 9 and the third control valve 26 on the air inlet pipe 11 control the flow of water and gas respectively, ensuring appropriate water consumption and stable pressure inside the tank during cleaning and disinfection. The pressure gauge 12 monitors the tank pressure in real time to ensure safe operation of the equipment.

[0038] More specifically, a water outlet pipe 19 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the tank 1 and the two are connected, and a second control valve 20 is installed on the water outlet pipe 19. A water storage tank 6 is built on the concrete foundation 2, and the water storage tank 6 is located below the water outlet pipe 19.

[0039] The outlet pipe 19 is used to discharge the wastewater after cleaning. The second control valve 20 is used to control the opening and closing of the outlet pipe 19. The water storage tank 6 on the concrete foundation is located below the outlet pipe 19 and is used to collect the discharged wastewater, which facilitates subsequent wastewater treatment and recycling, meets the requirements of environmental protection and resource conservation, and avoids environmental pollution caused by indiscriminate discharge of wastewater.

[0040] Specifically, a top cover 8 is hinged to the top wall of the tank body 1, and a glass window 7 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the tank body 1.

[0041] The top cover 8 is hinged to the top of the tank 1, facilitating opening and closing and enabling operators to perform maintenance and repair work inside the tank 1, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment. A glass window 7 is installed on the side wall of the tank 1, allowing operators to observe the cleaning and disinfection process inside the tank 1 in real time during operation, promptly identify and address any abnormalities, effectively improving operational safety and reliability, and ensuring the smooth progress of production.

[0042] Specifically, a rubber pad 14 is fixedly installed on one side wall of the quick-opening blind flange 13, and the rubber pad 14 has a clearance groove 15 corresponding to the support beam 16. After the quick-opening blind flange 13 is closed, the outer side wall of the rubber pad 14 abuts against the end edge of the rotating cage 21. The side wall of the support beam 16 is in abutting state with the end edge of the rotating cage 21, and a rubber sealing gasket is adhered at the abutment.

[0043] The rubber pad 14 is provided with a relief groove 15 corresponding to the support beam 16 to ensure that the quick-opening blind plate 13 can be closed smoothly. After closing, the outer wall of the rubber pad 14 abuts tightly against the edge of the end of the rotating cage 21, forming a good sealing effect, which can effectively prevent the down in the rotating cage 21 from escaping through the gap at the port.

[0044] Meanwhile, the rubber pad 14 is installed on the quick-opening blind flange 13. The rubber pad 14 abuts against the edge of the opening end of the tank body 1, which can effectively prevent water and steam from leaking from the gaps during the cleaning and disinfection process, ensuring the stability of the pressure and temperature inside the tank body 1, thereby ensuring the cleaning and disinfection effect, and improving the safety and reliability of the equipment.

[0045] Specifically, the rotating drum 21 has numerous drainage holes with a diameter ranging from 2 to 3 millimeters. The beater 25 is made of silicone material.

[0046] The aperture range is set to 2 to 3 millimeters. These drainage holes not only ensure smooth water flow but also prevent down from leaking out. The tapping rod 25 is made of silicone, which has good flexibility and elasticity, allowing it to gently tap the down without damaging the down fibers, while ensuring a good cleaning effect. Through this design, this invention can significantly improve the cleaning quality of down, making it cleaner and fluffier. In practice, the tapping rod 25 may be made of silicone or other materials such as rubber.

[0047] When using, open the quick-opening blind flange 13 and the top cover 8, check and clean the inside of the tank 1 to ensure there are no residues. Put the down to be cleaned into the rotating basket 21, ensuring that the down is evenly distributed.

[0048] Close the quick-opening blind flange 13 to ensure that the rubber pad 14 is in close contact with the edge of the rotating drum 21 to form a good seal and prevent water and steam leakage during cleaning and disinfection.

[0049] Open the first control valve 10 and inject an appropriate amount of cleaning water into the tank 1 through the water inlet pipe 9.

[0050] The motor 18 is started, and the motor 18 drives the rotating shaft 23 to rotate via the reducer 22, which in turn drives the rotating cage 21 and the beating rod 25 to rotate, thus cleaning the down. The beating rod 25 gently pats the down, breaking up the adhesion between the fibers, causing the down to gradually disperse and fluff up. Water flows into the interior of the rotating cage 21 through the drain hole on the rotating cage 21, thoroughly rinsing the down. The beating action of the beating rod 25 allows the water to better penetrate into every corner of the down, completely removing stains.

[0051] After cleaning is completed, the second control valve 20 is opened to discharge the cleaning wastewater from the tank 1 through the outlet pipe 19 and into the water storage tank 6, which facilitates subsequent wastewater treatment and recycling.

[0052] The steam generator 4 is activated, and the generated high-temperature steam is introduced into the tank 1 through the steam pipe 5 to disinfect and sterilize the down. The high-temperature steam can evenly penetrate every corner of the down, effectively killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi. After completion, the inside of the tank 1 is depressurized through the water outlet pipe 19.

[0053] Warm air is injected into the tank 1 through the air inlet pipe 11 to dry or air-dry the down, ensuring that the down is dry. During drying, the water outlet pipe 19 can also be used as an exhaust vent for ventilation.

[0054] After drying, open the quick-opening blind flange 13 and inject a strong airflow through the air inlet pipe 11 to blow away the down in the tank 1, so that the down is discharged from the tank 1, achieving the purpose of quick material discharge.

[0055] The above steps are a general overview of the use of this device. Some of the usage details are common knowledge and will not be repeated here.
