[0018] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-7 The present invention will be further described below.
[0019] To address the problems existing in the background art, this application proposes the following technical solution: a cleaning device for quartz tube production, comprising a frame 2, a water tank 1 fixedly connected to the frame 2, a fixed plate 4 fixedly connected to the top of the water tank 1, a guide rod 5 fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 4, a top plate 6 fixedly connected to the top of the guide rod 5, a sliding plate 8 provided below the top plate 6, the guide rod 5 passing through the sliding plate 8, a connecting plate 9 fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding plate 8, a support plate 14 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 9, a placement seat 15 fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 14, the placement seat 15 having multiple sets of grooves, and the grooves having a semi-circular or V-shaped structure, an adjustment component for adjusting the height of the support plate 14 provided at the top of the top plate 6, a fixed component provided at the bottom of the sliding plate 8, a telescopic cleaning component provided on at least one side inside the water tank 1, a drain pipe 3 fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank 1, and a valve installed in the drain pipe 3.
[0020] In this embodiment, the frame 2 provides stable support for the entire equipment, ensuring that the components do not shake during the cleaning process and guaranteeing operational precision. The water tank 1, as the core area of the cleaning operation, contains the cleaning solution and provides an immersion environment for the quartz tube. The bottom drain pipe 3, in conjunction with a valve, facilitates the rapid discharge of waste liquid after cleaning and equipment cleaning, preventing residual liquid accumulation and contamination of the next cleaning. The fixing plate 4 and the top plate 6 form a stable frame through the guide rod 5. The guide rod 5 passes through the sliding plate 8, providing precise guidance for its lifting and lowering, preventing the sliding plate 8 from tilting and causing misalignment between the quartz tube and the cleaning components. The placement seat 15, with a V-shaped groove, can accommodate quartz tubes of different diameters. By fitting snugly against the tube wall, it provides stable support, preventing the quartz tube from rolling during cleaning. Simultaneously, the groove design allows for full contact between the quartz tube and the cleaning solution, improving the cleaning effect. The adjustment component controls the lifting and lowering of the quartz tube to meet immersion and placement needs, while the fixing component ensures that the quartz tube remains stationary during cleaning. The telescopic cleaning component performs deep cleaning of the inner wall of the quartz tube.
[0021] In this embodiment, the adjustment component is a first electric push rod 7 fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 6. The output end of the first electric push rod 7 is fixedly connected to the slide plate 8. The fixing component includes a second electric push rod 10 fixedly connected to the bottom of the slide plate 8, a connecting frame 11 fixedly connected to the output of the second electric push rod 10, and a fixing strip 12 fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting frame 11. Multiple sets of abutment strips 13 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing strip 12.
[0022] The first electric push rod 7, as the core of the adjustment component, outputs a stable thrust to drive the slide plate 8 to rise and fall along the guide rod 5, achieving precise lifting and lowering control of the quartz tube. Compared with traditional manual adjustment, this is not only labor-saving and efficient, but also allows for precise control of immersion depth and speed, adapting to the cleaning needs of quartz tubes of different lengths. The fixing component is driven by the second electric push rod 10, and the connecting frame 11 transmits power to press down the fixing strip 12 and the abutment strip 13. Multiple sets of abutment strips 13 cooperate with the grooves of the placement seat 15 to achieve multi-point fixing from the top of the quartz tube, avoiding excessive local pressure caused by fixing at a single point and damaging the quartz tube. The abutment strips 13 can be flexibly adapted to the shape of the quartz tube to ensure a tight fit during fixing without damaging the tube wall.
[0023] In this embodiment, the telescopic cleaning assembly includes a rotating sleeve 16, a sliding rod 17, a cleaning rod 21, and bristles 22 fixedly connected to the outside of the cleaning rod 21. The rotating sleeve 16 is provided with multiple sets, all of which are rotatably connected to the outside of the inner wall of the water tank 1. The rotating sleeve 16 is provided with a sliding groove 28, and the sliding rod 17 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 28. The water tank 1 is also provided with an adjusting plate 18, and multiple sets of cleaning rods 21 are rotatably connected in the adjusting plate 18. One end of the cleaning rod 21 passes through the adjusting plate 18 and is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 17. The water tank 1 is also fixedly connected with a limiting plate 19, and multiple sets of guide sleeves 20 are provided in the limiting plate 19. The cleaning rod 21 passes through the guide sleeves 20. The telescopic cleaning assembly achieves efficient cleaning of the quartz tube's inner wall through the coordinated action of multiple components. The bristles 22 on the outside of the cleaning rod 21 are soft yet resilient, effectively removing dirt without scratching the inner wall of the quartz tube, ensuring product quality. The sliding engagement of the rotating sleeve 16 and the sliding rod 17 allows the cleaning rod 21 to extend and retract along its axis. The movement of the adjusting plate 18 facilitates the entry and exit of the cleaning rod 21 from the quartz tube, solving the problem of traditional fixed cleaning structures being unable to accommodate quartz tubes of different lengths. The rotatable connection between the adjusting plate 18 and the cleaning rod 21 ensures that the cleaning rod 21 rotates synchronously with the sliding rod 17, achieving 360-degree all-around cleaning and avoiding cleaning dead spots. The guide sleeve 20 of the limiting plate 19 provides stable support for the cleaning rod 21, preventing it from shaking during high-speed rotation and ensuring close contact between the bristles 22 and the tube wall, thus improving the cleaning effect.
[0024] In this embodiment, a second motor 27 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the inner wall of the water tank 1. A threaded rod 25 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 27. A nut block 26 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 25. The nut block 26 is fixedly connected to the adjusting plate 18.
[0025] The second motor 27 provides precise power for the extension and retraction of the cleaning rod 21. By driving the threaded rod 25 to rotate, the rotational motion is converted into the linear motion of the nut block 26, which in turn drives the adjusting plate 18 to move smoothly, achieving uniform forward and backward movement of the cleaning rod 21 along the axis of the quartz tube. The threaded engagement between the threaded rod 25 and the nut block 26 ensures high transmission precision, allowing for accurate control of the extension and retraction distance of the cleaning rod 21. This ensures that the cleaning rod 21 fits the length of the quartz tube perfectly, avoiding over-extension that could damage the bottom of the tube or result in incomplete cleaning. The fixed connection between the adjusting plate 18 and the nut block 26 ensures that multiple sets of cleaning rods 21 extend and retract synchronously, accommodating the simultaneous cleaning needs of multiple quartz tubes during batch cleaning and improving work efficiency. The automated control driven by the motor replaces the traditional manual adjustment of the cleaning rod 21 position, not only reducing the labor intensity of operators but also ensuring consistent cleaning stroke for each quartz tube, guaranteeing uniform and stable cleaning quality, and solving the cleaning inconsistency problem that easily occurs with manual operation.
[0026] In this embodiment, the slide bar 17 is externally fixedly connected to multiple sets of limiting strips 29, the water tank 1 is externally rotatably connected to multiple sets of meshing gears 23, the gears 23 are coaxially fixedly connected to the corresponding rotating sleeves 16, and the water tank 1 is externally fixedly connected to a first motor 24, the output end of the first motor 24 is fixedly connected to one of the gears 23.
[0027] The limiting strip 29 on the outside of the slide rod 17 is embedded in the sliding groove 28 of the rotating sleeve 16, forming a sliding guide and power transmission structure. This ensures that when the rotating sleeve 16 rotates, it can drive the slide rod 17 to rotate synchronously through the limiting strip 29, without affecting the axial extension and contraction of the slide rod 17. This achieves the combined action of "rotation cleaning and linear propulsion" of the cleaning rod 21, significantly improving cleaning efficiency. Multiple sets of meshing gears 23 are driven by the first motor 24. Through the gear transmission, all rotating sleeves 16 rotate synchronously, ensuring that the speed of multiple cleaning rods 21 is consistent, avoiding uneven cleaning effects caused by speed differences. The gear transmission of 23 is stable and efficient, meeting the needs of high-speed rotation of the cleaning rods 21. At the same time, its compact structure does not occupy too much space, facilitating the overall layout of the equipment. The first motor 24, as a power source, provides stable and reliable output. By driving multiple sets of cleaning rods 21 with a single motor, it reduces equipment energy consumption and maintenance costs.
[0028] The usage method of this embodiment is as follows: Check that the connections between frame 2 and all components are secure, and ensure that the drain pipe 3 valve is closed. Add an appropriate amount of cleaning solution to water tank 1, controlling the water level to be below threaded rod 25 to avoid contact with the transmission components, while ensuring that the cleaning solution completely submerges the quartz tube to be cleaned. Turn on the equipment power supply and test the operation of the first and second electric push rods 10 and the motor to ensure that all moving parts move freely without jamming.
[0029] Place the quartz tubes to be cleaned horizontally back-to-back into the V-shaped grooves of the placement base 15 (two sets of quartz tubes can be placed horizontally back-to-back in each groove, so that the opening of the quartz tube corresponds to the corresponding cleaning rod 21)), ensuring that the open end of the quartz tube corresponds to the position of the cleaning rod 21 in the water tank 1. Activate the second electric push rod 10 to push the connecting bracket 11, fixing strip 12, and abutment strip 13 downwards until the abutment strip 13 is tightly attached to the top of the quartz tube, achieving a stable fixation and preventing the quartz tube from moving or rotating during cleaning.
[0030] Start the first electric push rod 7, which drives the slide plate 8 to slide down along the guide rod 5. Through the connecting plate 9 and the support plate 14, the placement seat 15 and the quartz tube descend synchronously until the quartz tube is completely submerged in the cleaning solution. Then, turn off the first electric push rod 7 and keep the tube in the soaking state (the soaking time can be set according to the degree of staining).
[0031] Simultaneously, the first motor 24 and the second motor 27 are started. The first motor 24 drives the rotating sleeve 16 to rotate through the gear 23. The rotating sleeve 16 drives the slide rod 17 and the cleaning rod 21 to rotate synchronously at high speed through the limit bar 29. The second motor 27 drives the threaded rod 25 to rotate. The nut block 26 drives the adjusting plate 18 to move smoothly, pushing the cleaning rod 21 to slowly insert into the rotating quartz tube. The bristles 22 clean the inner wall of the tube in all directions. During the cleaning process, the pushing speed of the cleaning rod 21 can be adjusted according to the degree of dirt.
[0032] After cleaning, first turn off the first motor 24, then start the second motor 27 in reverse to retract the cleaning rod 21 from the quartz tube, and then turn off the second motor 27. Start the first electric push rod 7 to raise the quartz tube above the water tank 1 to drain the surface cleaning liquid. Start the second electric push rod 10 in reverse to release the contact strip 13 and remove the cleaned quartz tube. Open the drain valve 3 to discharge the waste liquid, clean the inside of the water tank 1, and then close the valve to complete one cleaning operation.
