[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0030] See also Figures 1-6As shown in the embodiment of this application, a filter auxiliary drive mechanism 12 includes: a mounting box 10, an actuator 11, a drive mechanism 12, and a power mechanism 13; the mounting box 10 is movably mounted on a platform opposite the original drive mechanism 12; the actuator 11 includes a first gear 112, which meshes with a drum mesh gear, and the actuator 11 is mounted on the mounting box 10; the drive mechanism 12 is mounted on the mounting box 10, and the drive mechanism 12 is connected to the actuator 11 in a transmission manner; the power mechanism 13 is connected to the drive mechanism 12, and the power mechanism 13 is used to drive the drive mechanism 12 to move. The auxiliary drive mechanism 12 can be movably installed on the platform opposite the original drive unit of the equipment. After fine-tuning the position of the mounting box 10, the mounting box 10 is fixed on the platform, ensuring the stability of the auxiliary drive mechanism 12. Moreover, it does not occupy the normal maintenance area and can be arranged in parallel with the maintenance schedule of the main body, so that maintenance work can be carried out simultaneously, shortening the overall maintenance schedule. The drive mechanism 12 is driven by the power mechanism 13, which in turn drives the actuator 11 to move, so that the first gear 112 meshes with the drum mesh gear and rotates, driving the drum mesh to rotate. No manual operation is required, which not only reduces the risk caused by human error, thus greatly reducing the safety risks in the work, but also reduces the workload of on-site personnel, shortens the overhaul period, and improves the efficiency of maintenance work.
[0031] Furthermore, the first gear 112 of the actuator 11 is the same model as the original drive gear on the equipment, so there is no compatibility issue; the arrangement position of the mounting box 10 is adjusted according to the working distance on site, and the first gear 112 and the on-site mesh drum gear are arranged in the same vertical plane, so there is no compatibility issue and it is easy to use.
[0032] Specifically, the first gear 112 is a nylon gear, which meshes with the mesh drum gear on site, driving the mesh drum gear to rotate.
[0033] Specifically, the platform is the inspection platform directly opposite the mesh drum gear.
[0034] In one embodiment, the base 101 is detachably connected to the first mounting surface of the platform; the housing 102 is movably connected to the base 101; one end of the support arm 103 is movably connected to the housing 102, and the other end of the support arm 103 is detachably connected to the second mounting surface of the platform. By movably connecting the housing 102 to both the base 101 and the support arm 103, it is convenient to adjust the angle of the housing 102 for fine-tuning, ensuring the stability of the meshing between the first gear 112 and the mesh drum gear, and guaranteeing the safety of maintenance work.
[0035] Furthermore, the first mounting surface and the second mounting surface are perpendicular to each other.
[0036] Specifically, the first mounting surface is a horizontal plane 15, and the second mounting surface is a vertical plane 16.
[0037] Furthermore, the housing 102 is locked to the base 101 and the support arm 103 with bolts to ensure that the position of the housing 102 is fixed after fine adjustment; the base 101 is connected to the first mounting surface with bolts, and the support arm 103 is connected to the second mounting surface with bolts, so that the mounting box 10 can be detachably connected to the platform, making disassembly and assembly simple and efficient.
[0038] Specifically, the base 101 is connected to the first mounting surface by anchor bolts, which improves the connection strength of the base 101, ensures the stability of the entire auxiliary drive mechanism 12, and makes the structure reliable.
[0039] The support arm 103 is a telescopic structure. By making the support arm 103 a telescopic structure, and by adjusting the length of the support arm 103 for fine-tuning, the first gear 112 can be stably engaged with the mesh drum gear, thereby allowing the large tooth of the mesh drum to rotate smoothly.
[0040] It should be noted that the length of the support arm 103 can also be adjusted by cutting and changing the reserved length.
[0041] Furthermore, the support arm 103 includes at least two connecting sections, which are locked together by bolts to fix the length of the support arm 103. Alternatively, internal and external threads can be provided on the two connecting sections respectively, and the length of the support arm 103 can be changed by thread engagement, allowing for precise adjustment and good self-locking.
[0042] In another embodiment, a first mounting shaft 111 is disposed within a mounting housing 10, and a first gear 112 is fitted onto the outside of the first mounting shaft 111; a second gear 113 is fitted onto the outside of the first mounting shaft 111, and the second gear 113 meshes with the drive mechanism 12. By simultaneously fitting the first gear 112 and the second gear 113 onto the outside of the first mounting shaft 111, it is ensured that the first gear 112 and the second gear 113 can rotate synchronously when the first mounting shaft 111 rotates, thus guaranteeing the accuracy of the output of the actuator 11.
[0043] The second mounting shaft 121 is disposed inside the mounting box 10 and is rotatably connected to the mounting box 10. The third gear 122 is fitted on the outside of the second mounting shaft 121, rotates synchronously with the second mounting shaft 121, and meshes with the second gear 113. The power arm 123 is disposed on the second mounting shaft 121 and is connected to the power mechanism 13. The power arm 123 is used to drive the second mounting shaft 121 to rotate. The power mechanism 13 drives the power arm 123, which in turn drives the second mounting shaft 121 and the third gear 122 to rotate. The third gear 122 meshes with the second gear 113, causing the first mounting shaft 111 to rotate, which in turn causes the first gear 112 to rotate and mesh with the mesh drum gear, thus achieving the technical effect of driving the mesh drum gear to rotate precisely.
[0044] Specifically, the power arm 123 is a hydraulic power arm 123.
[0045] In another embodiment, a signal receiver is provided on the hydraulic station 131 to receive signals; one end of the hydraulic pipeline 132 is connected to the hydraulic station 131, and the other end of the hydraulic pipeline 132 is connected to the drive mechanism 12 to drive the drive mechanism 12 to rotate; a remote control module 133 is used to send signals, and the remote control module 133 is electrically connected to the signal receiver. By providing a signal receiver on the hydraulic station 131, it is convenient to receive the signals output by the remote control module 133, that is, to receive the operation commands issued by the remote control module 133 to control the hydraulic station 131; the hydraulic station 131 is connected to the power arm 123 through the hydraulic pipeline 132 to provide power to the power arm 123, thereby achieving the technical effect of driving the drive mechanism 12 to rotate.
[0046] Furthermore, the remote control module 133 is a remote control device that is easy to use, requires no special equipment, and reduces safety risks during operation.
[0047] The injection port 1312 is located on the hydraulic tank 1311; the hydraulic pump 1313 is located on the hydraulic tank 1311 and connected to the hydraulic tank 1311; the solenoid valve assembly 1314 is located on the hydraulic tank 1311 and connected to the hydraulic pump 1313; the solenoid pressure relief valve 1315 is located on the hydraulic tank 1311 and is connected to both the solenoid valve assembly 1314 and the hydraulic pipeline 132; the solenoid pressure relief valve 1315 and the solenoid valve assembly 1314 are also electrically connected to the remote control module 133. By adjusting the hydraulic pressure using the solenoid valve assembly 1314, when the hydraulic station 131 is pressurized, the power arm 123 begins to rotate; when stopped, the solenoid pressure relief valve 1315 opens, the hydraulic station 131 maintains a certain pressure, and the first gear 112 is locked to prevent rotation. Furthermore, during operation, personnel do not come into contact with the main body, eliminating the risk of mechanical injury and ensuring the safety of maintenance.
[0048] The locking device 14 is movably connected to the mounting box 10 and electrically connected to the electromagnetic pressure relief valve 1315. The locking device 14 is located above the first gear 112. By setting the locking device 14 above the first gear 112 and electrically connecting the locking device 14 to the electromagnetic pressure relief valve 1315, when the electromagnetic pressure relief valve 1315 is de-energized, the locking device 14 falls freely under gravity and directly inserts into the first gear 112 of the actuator 11. The locking device 14 is a non-powered design and can achieve emergency stop function without an additional power source. The mechanical braking ensures the safety of maintenance.
[0049] Remote controller 1331 is electrically connected to a signal receiver and is used to transmit signals. Display screen 1332 is mounted on remote controller 1331 and is used to display the signals. Adjustment button 1333 is mounted on remote controller 1331 and is electrically connected to solenoid valve assembly 1314. Emergency stop button 1334 is mounted on remote controller 1331 and is electrically connected to solenoid pressure relief valve 1315. By mounting display screen 1332 on remote controller 1331, the filter rotation angle can be displayed in real time, and the maintenance position can be recorded to prevent any maintenance at a certain circumferential position from being missed, providing a clear and convenient view. The remote controller 1331 can remotely control the power mechanism 13 and control the hydraulic station 131 to start and stop. When the hydraulic station 131 is pressurized, the power arm 123 starts to rotate. When it stops, the electromagnetic pressure relief valve 1315 opens, the hydraulic station 131 maintains a certain pressure, and the first gear 112 is locked to prevent rotation. In case of emergency, the emergency stop button 1334 can be pressed to disconnect the circuit of the hydraulic station 131, depressurize the hydraulic station 131, and stop power output, ensuring the safety of the equipment itself and eliminating the risk of accidental injury to nearby personnel.
[0050] Furthermore, the remote control 1331 is battery-powered, wirelessly controlled, and easy to carry.
[0051] Specifically, the remote control 1331 is powered by a lithium battery, which improves the continuity of operation of the remote control 1331 through charging, making it convenient to use and energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
[0052] The detection module is electrically connected to the remote control module 133, and the detection module is used to scan signals. The detection module scans and sends signals in real time to the remote control 1331 so as to display the rotation position of the filter.
[0053] Furthermore, the detection module is equipped with monitoring probes, namely a transmitting probe and a scanning receiving probe. The transmitting probe sends signals in real time; the scanning receiving probe scans the signal source and transmits it to the remote controller 1331.
[0054] Furthermore, the detection module is battery-powered, wirelessly remote-controlled, and easy to carry.
[0055] Specifically, the detection module is powered by a lithium battery, which improves the continuity of the monitoring probe's operation through charging, making it convenient to use and energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
