Water jet pool cleaner with opposing dual propellers
09670688 · 2017-06-06 · ·

A robotic pool or tank cleaner is propelled by water jets, the direction of which is controlled by the direction of rotation of a horizontally mounted pump motor within the pool cleaner housing, having a propeller attached to either end of the motor drive shaft which projects from opposing ends of the motor body, each of the propellers being positioned in a water jet discharge conduit that terminates in discharge ports in opposing ends of the housing. Each discharge conduit has a pressure-sensitive flap valve downstream of the respective propellers. When the propellers rotate in one direction, the water is drawn through one or more openings in the base plate, passes through one or more filter assemblies associated with the pool cleaner and is discharged through one of the discharge ports as a water jet of sufficient force to propel the pool cleaner along the surface being cleaned.

Apparatus for cleaning printed 3D objects
12343940 · 2025-07-01 · ·

The invention relates to: an apparatus (1) for the post-cleaning of 3D objects (90), which are printed from a light-curing resin formulation and comprise uncured residues of the resin formulation which adhere to the surface and have non-translucent and insoluble particles; and the use of a corresponding apparatus. The apparatus (1) comprises a cleaning chamber (2), which can be filled with a liquid cleaning agent (20) and has an agitator (5), for receiving the 3D object (90) to be cleaned, wherein a contamination detector (8), which is connected to a control unit (11) and determines the optical density of the cleaning agent (20), is provided for checking the remaining cleaning capacity of the cleaning agent (20), wherein the contamination detector (8) is located in an area kept free of non-translucent and insoluble particles above a predefined size in the cleaning agent (20). The determined optical density is used to determine the cleaning capacity of the cleaning agent (20).

Multi-stage wash system for vat polymerization-based 3D printed parts

The invention is generally a system for drying, recycling, and washing off residual resin from three-dimensionally (3D) printed objects. Exemplary systems may include a wash reservoir, a fan module, and one or more air exchange vents. The wash reservoir contains a wash solvent and a propeller fully or partially submerged into the wash solvent. The propeller splashes the wash solvent upwards to disperse on the 3D printed object, thereby largely washing away the resin residue present in the 3D printer object. The fan module is connected to the wash reservoir to create a positive or negative air pressure inside the wash reservoir, thereby redirecting the airflow to the wash reservoir. The air exchange vents are provided between a splash guard and a platform/lid of the wash reservoir to act as an air intake when the fan module blows air out of the wash reservoir and as an exhaust vice versa.

Multi-stage wash system for vat polymerization-based 3D printed parts

The invention is generally a system for drying, recycling, and washing off residual resin from 3D-printed objects. Exemplary systems may include a system for drying off residual resin from 3D-printed objects. The system may include a wash reservoir including a chamber for housing the 3D printed object and containing a wash solvent or liquid solvent adapted to at least partially remove residual residue present in the 3D printer object. Air exchange vents provided between a splash guard or a lid of the wash reservoir may be adapted to act as an air intake or an air exhaust. An airflow module in fluid communication with the air vents and the chamber may be adapted to create a positive or negative air pressure inside the wash reservoir for redirecting airflow to the chamber housing the 3D printed object, and blowing air out or into the chamber to dry the 3D-printed object.

Multi-axis variable-speed hot washing machine

A multi-axis variable-speed hot washing machine is provided, including a cleaning chamber, a drive apparatus, and a rotation mechanism. The rotation mechanism is arranged in an inner cavity of the cleaning chamber and is in transmission connection with the drive apparatus. At least one or more groups of rotation mechanism is arranged. The inner wall of the cleaning chamber is provided with a scraping mechanism that enhances a squeezing and frictional cleaning effect on a to-be-cleaned material.

Multi-axis variable-speed hot washing module and hot washing method thereof

A multi-axis variable-speed hot washing module and a hot washing method thereof are provided. The multi-axis variable-speed hot washing module includes a storage assembly, a dehydration assembly, and one or more multi-axis variable-speed hot washing machines, where the multi-axis variable-speed hot washing machine is connected to the storage assembly and the dehydration assembly. Batches of materials are stored in the storage assembly. When cleaning, the materials are put from the storage assembly into one or more multi-axis variable-speed hot washing machines, and medicinal water is added. The multi-axis variable-speed hot washing machine replaces functions of a hot washing machine, a screw, and a friction machine, and has relatively large mechanical friction on the materials during cleaning. The materials after being hot washed by the multi-axis variable-speed hot washing machine are transported to the dehydration assembly for dehydration, so as to implement separation of cleaning water and the materials.
