A descaling device is disposed in a washing machine for descaling. The descaling device includes a main body and a descaling assembly. The descaling assembly includes a connecting rod and a descaling rod which are connected to each other. The connecting rod is linked by the main body to rotate. The descaling rod is bent at an angle relative to the connecting rod. The descaling rod is a brush. The descaling rod is linked by the connecting rod to rotate for descaling. The descaling device can descale and clean a larger area of the inner and outer tanks of the washing machine efficiently.

An electromagnetic propulsion system for electrically conductive articles, such as aluminum beverage cans. Currents in coils disposed along a passageway induce currents in aluminum cans in the passageway. The electromagnetic fields produced by the coil currents and the eddy currents in the cans interact to produce forces that propel the cans along the passageway. A coil drive supplies the coils with a low-frequency current to propel the cans and a high-frequency current to heat the cans. The coils are arranged as solenoids encircling the passageway or as planar arrays bracketing the passageway. Besides being used to propel aluminum cans, the coils can be used to spin cans. The electromagnetic propulsion systems are shown in can washers and dryers.

An automated refurbishment system for cleaning and testing recycled child-safe containers. The system takes in durable, child-safe container bodies and caps after usage, washes the container parts reduce an amount of contaminants, and then dries the washed parts. The system then assembles the child-safe container bodies to caps, and tests the assembled child-safe containers, to assess the functionality of the child-safe features. The clean and tested refurbished child-safe containers can then be reused to dispense controlled substances (e.g., pharmaceuticals). Specific modules of the system can be interchanged to allow compatibility with different styles and designs of child-safe containers. The refurbishment system facilitates the recycling and reuse of durable, child-safe containers as an alternative to the current practice of using single-use, disposable plastic child-safe containers to dispense prescription pills and other controlled substances.

This application provides an intelligent robot for cleaning and mending a net cage and a method of using the intelligent robot, including: a control system, a main body, an attraction module, a motion module, a cleaning module and a mending module. The main body includes a streamlined pressure casing, and a drive mechanism and a water ballast tank which are located in the pressure casing. The attraction module includes electromagnets which are symmetrically provided at a bottom of the pressure casing. The motion module includes first and second motion mechanisms which are symmetrically provided at opposite sides of the pressure casing. A traveling path of the first motion mechanisms is perpendicular to a traveling path of the second motion mechanisms. The intelligent robot achieves cleaning and mending for both sides of the net cage, and is simple to operate, safe, high-efficient, economical and convenient.

The invention relates to an apparatus and to a method for cleaning vessels. The vessel cleaning apparatus (10) has a suction lance (20) and a flushing lance (40). The flushing lance (40) is configured to receive fluid, such as cleaning liquid and/or compressed air, and to expel it against an inner wall of a vessel to be cleaned. The suction lance (20) is configured to suck off and lead off fluids present in the vessel as well as cleaning liquid supplied through the flushing lance (40) from the vessel, preferably against the direction of effect of gravity.
