[0002] During operation, steel belt elevators require regular maintenance (generally no less than 14 days) to remove dust and oil stains from the belt to ensure normal operation. This cleaning process requires two maintenance personnel: one to control the elevator's slow operation, while the other manually cleans the surface of the composite steel belt. Oil stains must be removed with anhydrous alcohol. A single composite steel belt in an elevator can typically be tens or even hundreds of meters long. Manual cleaning is labor-intensive, inefficient, and time-consuming.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0027] Example 1:

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a steel belt elevator steel belt cleaning device consisting of a cleaning body 1, a movable plug-in 2, a positioning component and an alcohol pot 4.

[0029] A first cleaning groove 11 is defined in the sidewall of the cleaning body 1. The ends of the first cleaning groove 11 extend through the top and bottom surfaces of the cleaning body 1, forming a three-sided open groove structure. A first brush 13 is pivotally connected to the bottom of the first cleaning groove 11. The first cleaning body 1 also defines a first embedded groove 12 and a second embedded groove 14, both of which communicate with the first cleaning groove 11, forming a "string"-shaped connecting groove structure.

[0030] The side wall of the mobile plug-in 2 defines a second cleaning slot 21, with both ends of the second cleaning slot 21 penetrating the top and bottom surfaces of the mobile plug-in 2, forming a slot structure with three sides open on the mobile plug-in 2. A second brush 22 is pivotally connected to the bottom of the second cleaning slot 21.

[0031] A third cleaning slot 41 is defined in the sidewall of the alcohol jug 4. Its ends penetrate the top and bottom surfaces of the alcohol jug 4, forming a three-sided open slot. A number of symmetrical perforations are defined along the inner walls of the third cleaning slot 41, covered with cotton brushes 42. The distance between the brushes 42 is less than the thickness of the steel strip 3. The interior of the alcohol jug 4 is filled with anhydrous alcohol.

[0032] The cleaning body 1 is buckled onto the steel belt 3, which is laterally inserted into the opening of the first cleaning slot 11. As the elevator runs, the steel belt 3 can move relative to the cleaning body 1, so that the entire steel belt 3 passes through the first cleaning slot 11 in sequence.

[0033] The side of the mobile plug-in 2 with the second cleaning slot 21 is opposite to the side of the cleaning body 1 with the first cleaning slot 11, and the mobile plug-in 2 is embedded in the first embedding slot 12. The first cleaning slot 11 and the second cleaning slot 21 form a channel structure surrounding the steel belt 3 on all sides.

[0034] The side of the alcohol pot 4 with the third cleaning groove 41 is opposite to the side of the cleaning body 1 with the first cleaning groove 11, and the alcohol pot 4 is embedded in the second embedding groove 14. The first cleaning groove 11 and the third cleaning groove 41 are also combined to form a channel structure surrounding the steel belt 3 on all sides.

[0035] During cleaning, the steel strip 3 first passes through the third cleaning tank 41. A cotton brush 42 soaked in anhydrous alcohol is used to wipe the steel strip 3, applying the anhydrous alcohol to both surfaces of the steel strip 3. The first brush 13 and the second brush 22 then contact the steel strip 3 on both sides, generating friction and rolling with the movement of the steel strip 3 to clean dust and stains from the surface of the steel strip 3.

[0036] The positioning assembly is used to secure the cleaning body 1 to the top of the elevator car, preventing it from shifting with the movement of the steel belt 3. The positioning assembly includes a magnetic base 5 and a support arm 6. The magnetic base 5 is fixed to the top of the elevator car by suction. One end of the support arm 6 is hinged to the base, and the other end is hinged to the cleaning body 1. By adjusting the position of the magnetic base 5 and the angle of the support arm 6, the angle at which the cleaning body 1 is attached to the steel belt 3 can be adjusted to prevent deflection.

[0037] It is worth mentioning that in order to facilitate the removal of the mobile plug-in 2 from the cleaning body 1, three grooves 23 are opened on the side wall of the mobile plug-in 2 exposed in the first embedding groove 12, so that the maintenance personnel can insert three fingers into the groove 23 and pull out the mobile plug-in 2 with force.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides an operating method of a steel belt elevator steel belt cleaning device based on embodiment 1, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0040] Step 1: Insert the steel belt 3 into the first cleaning tank 11 of the cleaning body 1 , and make the steel belt 3 press against the first brush 13 axially connected to the first cleaning tank 11 .

[0041] Step 2: Place the magnetic base 5 on the top of the car near the edge of the steel belt 3 and fix it by adsorption.

[0042] Step 3: Insert the movable plug-in 2 into the first embedding groove 12, so that the second cleaning groove 21 is buckled from the other side of the steel belt 3, and is combined with the first cleaning groove 11 to form a channel for the steel belt 3 to pass through.

[0043] Step 4: Fill the inner cavity of the alcohol pot 4 with anhydrous alcohol and insert it into the second groove 14 of the cleaning body 1. The third cleaning groove 41 on the outer shell of the alcohol pot 4 is also inserted from the other side of the steel strip 3 and, together with the first cleaning groove 11, forms a passage for the steel strip 3 to pass through. As the steel strip 3 passes through the third cleaning groove 41, anhydrous alcohol seeps out of the permeation hole and soaks the cotton brush 42. The cotton brush 42 contacts the steel strip 3 and applies the anhydrous alcohol to the surface of the steel strip 3.

[0044] Step 5: Adjust the angle of the support arm 6 so that the cleaning body 1 and the steel belt 3 remain perpendicular.

[0045] Step 6: Run the elevator in the maintenance state. The relative movement between the steel belt 3 and the two brushes will cause the two brushes to rotate, thereby cleaning foreign matter, dust and stains on the surface.

[0046] The device only needs to be installed with the steel belt 3 and the elevator is running in the maintenance state to automatically clean the steel belt 3, thereby improving maintenance efficiency. The operator only needs to add anhydrous alcohol at the right time.

[0047] The various technical features in the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily as long as there is no conflict or contradiction between the combinations of features. However, due to space limitations, they are not described one by one.

[0048] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. If various changes or modifications of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and if these changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims and equivalent technologies of the present invention, the present invention is also intended to include these changes and modifications.
