Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of tunnel lamp cleaning, and in particular to a fixed-track tunnel lamp cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] The ventilation conditions in the tunnel are limited, and vehicle exhaust and dust are difficult to evacuate in time. The trapped exhaust and dust pollute the walls, lighting facilities and equipment in the highway tunnel, resulting in poor tunnel lighting and serious traffic hazards. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the tunnel lamps regularly.

[0003] Most tunnel lamp cleaning devices are divided into two types. The first type is a vehicle-type cleaning device. Since the speed of this device is relatively slow, it is easy to cause traffic congestion for vehicles behind the vehicle-type cleaning device when it is driving in a non-closed tunnel, and the local lighting environment of the tunnel will be affected when cleaning the lamps, which is easy to cause traffic accidents. If the tunnel adopts a semi-closed road to clean the lamps, the tunnel traffic pressure will increase. The second type is to add a parallel bridge track cleaning device. For the tunnel construction limit, the bridge is the most vulnerable place to invade the limit. Adding a bridge track near it, large trucks passing through the tunnel are prone to hanging on the bridge or adding a track cleaning device, so that the truck drags it for several meters, which is easy to cause traffic accidents. There are also manual cleaning methods, but traditional manual cleaning has the problems of extremely low efficiency and high safety risks. If the road is cut off for cleaning, it will cause greater traffic pressure and indirectly increase the cost of traffic operation. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the above problems existing in the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: how to clean the lamps in the tunnel without affecting the traffic.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a fixed track tunnel lamp cleaning device, comprising:

[0006] Robotic Arm,

[0007] A cleaning mechanism, the cleaning mechanism comprising a brush, a water inlet assembly and a water outlet assembly; the brush is mounted at the end of the mechanical arm, the water inlet assembly rinses and moistens the brush, and the water outlet assembly discharges the rinsed water;

[0008] The central bridge is installed inside the tunnel and runs along the length of the tunnel; and

[0009] The sliding mechanism drives the mechanical arm to move on the central bridge.

[0010] In the present invention, the water inlet component lets water in toward the brush, and the water outlet component discharges the water dripping from the brush after rinsing; in this way, the brush is rinsed and moistened, and the movement of the robotic arm is controlled. The robotic arm drives the cleaning mechanism at its end to move, and the cleaning mechanism cleans the lamps in the tunnel. After one of the lamps is cleaned, the sliding mechanism is actuated, and the sliding mechanism slides in the length direction of the central bridge until it moves to the next lamp position. The robotic arm and the cleaning mechanism are then controlled to clean the lamp, and this cycle is repeated to clean all the lamps in the tunnel. By setting the sliding mechanism to slide on the central bridge, road traffic is not affected, and the lamps in the tunnel are cleaned regularly, which effectively improves the illumination of the lamps, thereby reducing the probability of traffic accidents.
