Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dredging robots, specifically a large-diameter dredging robot designed to prevent tipping. Background Technology

[0002] Every year during the flood season, due to the accumulation of sludge in the drainage pipe network affecting the smooth flow of drainage, many cities experience road flooding whenever heavy rain strikes, which can even lead to traffic disruptions and greatly affect the daily travel of citizens.

[0003] Currently, commonly used drainage pipe network dredging methods both domestically and internationally include high-pressure water jet dredging, winch dredging, water flushing dredging, trench cleaning machine dredging, dredging balls, and interception flushing gates. Each of these methods has its own drawbacks and limitations. Most importantly, these methods are designed for dredging small-diameter drainage pipes and are not well-suited for dredging large-diameter (≥0.8m) drainage pipes such as box culverts. Specifically, high-pressure water jet dredging has high equipment operating costs, making it difficult to widely promote and apply domestically. While winch dredging is applicable to a wider range of pipe diameters than high-pressure water jet dredging, it requires manual entry into the well for pipe installation, and the harsh working environment underground causes significant inconvenience to workers and poses safety hazards. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Furthermore, eight sets of connecting columns are evenly installed on the surface of the connecting plate, and each of the eight sets of connecting columns is equipped with a movable shearing plate at its end. The cross-sections of the movable shearing plate and the fixed shearing plate are both set as right-angled trapezoids.

[0015] Furthermore, guide blocks are installed on both sides of the bottom of the connecting plate, and guide holes are opened inside the guide blocks. Guide posts are inserted into the guide holes, and the guide posts are set in two sets and fixedly installed on both sides of the mounting base.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom of the connecting plate is hinged to a driven plate, and the bottom of the driven plate is hinged to the end of the driving plate. At the same time, the end of the driving plate away from the driven plate is hinged to a fixing block provided on the lower side of the interior of the mounting base.

This method saves time and labor when replacing manual sludge cleaning and avoids safety hazards for workers working inside the pipe.

[0021] 2. The nozzle on the high-pressure nozzle is positioned opposite to the surface of the shearing device, so that the high-pressure water jet from the high-pressure nozzle can be directly sprayed onto the sludge on the surface of the shearing device, thus dispersing the sludge on the surface of the shearing device.

[0022] 3. When the shearing device moves inside the pipeline, the sludge placed on the surface of the shearing device is sheared by the fixed shearing blades and the movable shearing blades before entering the surface of the mounting base. The sludge is cut into pieces and then cut into smaller pieces, so that it can be discharged through the sludge collection device and the collection pipe. Attached Figure Description

[0036] This device moves inside the large-diameter pipe via a tracked walking structure 6. With the shearing device 2 and sludge collection device 4, sludge is collected inside the sludge collection device 4. Simultaneously, the sludge pump is activated, allowing the sludge inside the sludge collection device to be discharged to the outside of the pipe through the collection pipe 5, thus completing the sludge removal work inside the large-diameter pipe. This replaces manual sludge removal, saving time and labor, and avoiding safety hazards for workers inside the pipe.

The sludge is cut into pieces and then discharged through the sludge collection device 4 and the collection pipe 5.

[0045] Specific Implementation Method Six: This implementation method is a further limitation of Specific Implementation Method Five. Eight sets of connecting columns 23 are evenly installed on the surface of the connecting plate 24, and each of the eight sets of connecting columns 23 is equipped with a movable shearing plate 22.
