Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of ship use, in particular to a stern tube cleaning tool. Background Art

[0002] After the CPP stern shaft of the ship was pulled out, it was found that the oil seal in the stern tube had failed. In order to maintain the normal operation of the shaft system, the ship added a large amount of butter into the stern tube. Under the long-term rotation and stirring of the stern shaft, the stern tube was filled with a mixture of butter, water and other garbage.

[0003] However, the existing ones have the following defects when used:

[0004] The mixture sticks to the wall of the stern tube and is difficult to remove completely. The key is that the diameter of the inner hole of the stern tube is very small and people cannot enter to clean it. Relying solely on an extended bamboo pole tied with cloth strips and an iron rake can only remove the main mixture, but cannot completely clean the mixture that sticks to the surface of the stern tube hole wall and has hardened. For this reason, we designed and produced a set of tooling to effectively scrape off the garbage on the hole wall. Summary of the invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a stern tube cleaning tool to solve the problem that the above mixture adheres to the stern tube wall and is difficult to completely remove.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a stern tube cleaning tool, comprising a stern tube, an oil pipe is installed inside the stern tube, a tool is placed inside the stern tube, a pull rod is connected to the tool, and a connecting nut is provided at one end of the pull rod away from the stern tube.

[0007] Wherein, a threaded rod is arranged on the pull rod, and limiting rings are fixed on both sides of the threaded rod.

[0008] Wherein, the tooling includes a fixed rod, a spiral adjustment rod, a connecting block, a roller, a floating adjustment rod, a spring, a support frame and a cleaning assembly, the lower end of the fixed rod is meshedly connected with the spiral adjustment rod, the lower end of the spiral adjustment rod is rotatably connected to the roller through the connecting block, the upper part of the fixed rod is sleeved with a floating adjustment rod, the outer periphery of the floating adjustment rod is sleeved with a spring, the upper end of the floating adjustment rod is fixed with a second scraper by a fastening bolt, the fixed rod is fixed with a support frame, and the middle part of the support frame is meshedly connected with the threaded rod.

[0009] Wherein, a cleaning assembly is fixed on the pull rod, and the cleaning assembly includes a connecting plate and a first scraper, and the first scraper is fixed on the top end of the connecting plate.

[0010] Wherein, the cleaning component is located directly behind the fixing rod.

[0011] There are two fixing rods, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the support frame. The lower outer circular end surface of the fixing rod is arranged in a threaded shape, and the inner circular surface of the spiral adjustment rod is arranged in a threaded shape.

[0012] Wherein, the spring is located at the upper end of the fixing rod.

[0013] Among them, the diameters of the alloy inner holes at both ends of the stern tube are 255mm and 265mm, the diameter of the inner hole of the stern tube is 342mm, and the length is 4400mm.

[0014] Wherein, the length of the pull rod is 3000 mm.

[0015] Wherein, rubber pads are fixed on the upper ends of the first scraper and the second scraper.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] The operator of the present invention rotates the pull rod so that the second scraper is staggered with the first scraper, and then pulls the pull rod outward to scrape off the sludge, garbage and other dirt stuck on the hole wall of the stern tube through the second scraper and the first scraper. Since the stern tube is relatively long, when the pull rod is not long enough, the pull rod can be extended by connecting the nut. After the second scraper and the first scraper clean the upper part of the hole wall of the stern tube, the tool is taken out, and after bypassing the oil pipe at the bottom of the stern tube, the tool is put into the stern tube again to clean the left and right directions and the lower hole wall until all the garbage on the hole wall is scraped off. The stern tube cleaning tool effectively solves the problem of cleaning the inner hole wall of the small diameter long stern tube, and the cleaning effect is recognized by the ship at one time. The cleaning work is completed in only half a day, while the traditional method cannot clean the hole wall, and the cleaning work requires more than three days. Therefore, the tool has the characteristics of high efficiency and cleanliness, and provides a reference for tooling and methods for similar projects. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
