Automatic Mold Cleaning Robot With Tilt Clamping

The patent replaces the manual mechanical cleaning system with an automated robot system equipped with high-pressure cleaning components. The robot can autonomously navigate and clean the mold surface using programmable trajectories, eliminating manual labor while maintaining cleaning effectiveness. This substitution directly addresses the contradiction by improving productivity through automation while reducing labor intensity.

The cleaning system is designed to be self-sufficient with automatic detergent supply, high-pressure water generation, and waste collection capabilities integrated into the robot platform. The system performs all cleaning operations autonomously without requiring continuous human intervention, thereby improving productivity while minimizing the operational burden on workers.

The robot platform is designed as a multi-functional system that integrates navigation, high-pressure cleaning, detergent supply, waste collection, and separation capabilities into a single device. This universal design improves productivity by consolidating multiple functions while managing complexity through modular architecture, where each subsystem performs specific tasks that collectively achieve comprehensive mold cleaning.

The system employs a nested structure where the robot platform contains the cleaning system, which in turn contains the high-pressure water generation and detergent supply mechanisms. The waste collection container is nested within the robot structure, and the separation system is integrated into the waste management subsystem. This nesting approach improves productivity by consolidating functions while containing complexity within hierarchical boundaries.

The high-pressure water cleaning operates in periodic cycles rather than continuously. The robot moves to different cleaning positions, activates high-pressure spray for predetermined intervals, then transitions to the next position. This periodic operation improves overall cleaning efficiency by concentrating energy at specific locations and times, while reducing total energy consumption compared to continuous high-pressure application across the entire mold surface.

The cleaning system applies high-pressure water locally to specific contaminated areas on the mold surface rather than uniformly across the entire surface. The robot identifies and targets regions requiring intensive cleaning, applying high-pressure spray only where needed. This localized approach improves cleaning efficiency at critical areas while minimizing energy consumption by avoiding unnecessary high-pressure application in already clean regions.
