Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cleaning device technology, and specifically relates to a cleaning device suitable for rotating bodies. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, industrial production, and scientific research, many rotating bodies require cleaning. For example, with the increasing exploration and research of the ocean, the field of underwater robots is receiving more and more attention from researchers at home and abroad. However, because underwater rotating AUV robots are immersed in various types of water for a long time, and the water quality varies from place to place, frequent immersion in water will cause the surface of the rotating body to be covered with various stains. If they are not cleaned in time, they will rust or introduce foreign objects, which will seriously affect the use of AUV robots and shorten their service life.

[0003] Traditionally, the outer walls of these rotating bodies need to be cleaned manually, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a cleaning device suitable for rotating bodies, which solves the problems of time-consuming, labor-intensive and inefficient traditional manual cleaning of the outer peripheral wall of rotating bodies.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A cleaning device suitable for rotating bodies, comprising a water distribution pipe, a roller brush, an inlet pipe, and an outlet pipe;

[0007] Multiple water distribution pipes are connected end to end to form a circular structure, forming a liquid flow channel inside the water distribution pipes;

[0008] Each of the water distribution pipes has a rotatable roller brush fixed to its inner circumference.

[0009] The inlet pipe is provided on at least one of the branch pipes for the inflow of cleaning fluid; the outlet pipe is provided on each of the branch pipes for the outflow of the cleaning fluid.

[0010] When the circular structure is fitted onto the outer periphery of the rotating body to be cleaned and the circular structure moves along the axial direction of the rotating body, the roller brush can roll on the outer wall surface of the rotating body and clean the rotating body through the cleaning liquid flowing out from the water outlet pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, the two ends of the water distribution pipe are a small end and a large end, respectively;

[0012] Multiple water distribution pipes are connected end to end to form the circular structure by inserting the small end into the large end in a plug-in manner.

[0013] Furthermore, the water outlet pipe includes a first water outlet pipe;

[0014] The outlet of the first water outlet pipe is located on one side of the axial direction of the circular structure.

[0015] Furthermore, the water outlet pipe also includes a second water outlet pipe;

[0016] The outlet of the second water outlet pipe is located on the other side of the axial direction of the circular structure.

[0017] Furthermore, the water outlet pipe also includes a third water outlet pipe;

[0018] The outlet of the third water outlet branch pipe is arranged radially along the circular structure and is used to clean the roller brush.

[0019] Furthermore, it also includes a roller brush holder;

[0020] After the roller brush is fixed to the roller brush bracket, it is fixed to the inner circumference of each of the water distribution pipes through the roller brush bracket.

[0021] Furthermore, the roller brush bracket is provided with a locking slot for fixing the first water outlet pipe, the second water outlet pipe, and the third water outlet pipe.

[0022] Furthermore, the adjacent roller brush supports are hinged together and can rotate about an axis parallel to the axis of the rotating body.

[0023] Furthermore, the roller brush is cylindrical.

[0024] Furthermore, the water distribution pipe is a flexible hose.

[0025] Beneficial effects:

[0026] (1) The present invention comprises multiple water distribution pipes fixedly connected end to end to form a circular structure, forming a liquid flow channel within the water distribution pipes. A rotatable roller brush is fixed to the inner circumference of each water distribution pipe. An inlet pipe is provided on at least one water distribution pipe for the inflow of cleaning liquid, and an outlet pipe is provided on each water distribution pipe for the outflow of cleaning liquid. When the circular structure is fitted onto the outer circumference of the rotating body to be cleaned, and the circular structure moves along the axial direction of the rotating body, the roller brush can roll on the outer wall surface of the rotating body, and clean the rotating body through the cleaning liquid flowing from the outlet pipe. Thus, the cleaning device only needs to move along the axis of the rotating body to complete the cleaning of the outer circumference of the rotating body, saving labor and improving efficiency.

[0027] (2) The two ends of the water distribution pipe are the small end and the large end, and multiple water distribution pipes are connected end to end in a circular structure by inserting the small end into the large end. The structure is simple and compact, and can be quickly disassembled and assembled. Moreover, for rotating bodies with different radii of rotation, it is only necessary to connect different numbers of water distribution pipes end to end to form a circular structure that is compatible with the diameter of the rotating body. In this way, the application range of the cleaning device is wider.

[0028] (3) The outlet of the first water outlet pipe is set along one side of the axial direction of the circular structure, so that the cleaning liquid can flow easily to the rotating body for the roller brush to clean the rotating body.

[0029] (4) The outlet of the second water outlet is set on the other side of the axial direction of the circular structure. In this way, in conjunction with the first water outlet, when the cleaning device moves along the axis of the rotating body, there is a cleaning liquid flow in front of it and behind it. The cleaning liquid flow in front of it realizes the pre-wetting of the rotating body before cleaning, and the cleaning liquid flow behind it realizes the rinsing function after cleaning the rotating body. The cleaning liquid flow in front and behind ensures the quality of the rotating body cleaning.

[0030] (5) The outlet of the third water outlet is set radially along the circular structure, which can clean the rolling brush during the cleaning process of the rotating body, further ensuring the quality of the cleaning of the rotating body.

[0031] (6) The adjacent roller brush brackets are hinged and can rotate around a pivot parallel to the axis of rotation, so that the cleaning device has a certain deformation capability and can better adapt to irregular structures such as protrusions or depressions on the outer surface of the rotating body.

[0032] (7) The roller brush bracket is equipped with a bayonet to fix the first water outlet pipe, the second water outlet pipe and the third water outlet pipe. This ensures that the water outlet pipe can stably provide cleaning fluid flow in a fixed direction and improve the quality of the rotating body cleaning.

[0033] (8) The roller brush is cylindrical, so that the roller brush can easily rotate on the rotating body, ensuring the cleaning effect on the rotating body.

[0034] (9) Both the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe are flexible hoses. In this way, the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe can be easily connected end to end to form a circle, and the circular structure also has a certain deformation capability, which can better adapt to irregular structures such as protrusions or depressions on the outer surface of the rotating body.

Detailed Implementation

[0044] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 8 A cleaning device suitable for rotating bodies includes a water distribution pipe 1, a roller brush 3, a water inlet pipe 4, and a water outlet pipe 5, wherein:

[0046] Multiple water distribution pipes 1 are connected end to end to form a circular structure, forming a liquid flow channel in each water distribution pipe 1; a rotatable roller brush 3 is fixed on the inner circumference of each water distribution pipe 1; an inlet pipe 4 is provided on at least one water distribution pipe 1 for the inflow of cleaning liquid; and an outlet pipe 5 is provided on each water distribution pipe 1 for the outflow of cleaning liquid.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, when the circular structure is fitted onto the outer periphery of the rotating body 6 to be cleaned and the circular structure moves along the axial direction of the rotating body 6, the roller brush 3 can roll on the outer wall of the rotating body 6 and clean the rotating body 6 through the cleaning liquid flowing out from the water outlet pipe 5.

[0048] In this way, the cleaning device can be moved along the axis of the rotating body 6 to clean the outer peripheral wall of the rotating body 6, saving manpower and improving efficiency.

[0049] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, one end of the water distribution pipe 1 is a small end, and the other end is a large end. Multiple water distribution pipes 1 are connected end to end to form a circular structure by inserting the small ends into the large ends. This connection structure is simple and compact, allowing for quick assembly and disassembly. Moreover, for rotating bodies 6 with different radii of rotation, only different numbers of water distribution pipes 1 need to be connected end to end to form a circular structure adapted to the diameter of the rotating body, thus broadening the application range of this cleaning device. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, ten water distribution pipes 1 are used to form a circular structure that is compatible with the diameter of the rotating body 6.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, the roller brush 3 is fixed to the inner circumference of each water distribution pipe 1 by two fixing parts 7 on the roller brush bracket 2 after being fixed to the pipe brush bracket 2. The structure is simple and compact while ensuring that the water distribution pipe 1 is reliably fixed.

[0051] like Figure 3 , 6 As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the water outlet pipe 5 includes two first water outlet pipes 501. The outlets of the two first water outlet pipes 502 are arranged along one side of the axial direction of the circular structure. In this way, the cleaning liquid can flow conveniently to the rotating body 6 for the roller brush to clean the rotating body 6.

[0052] As an improvement, the water distribution pipe 1 is also equipped with two second water outlet pipes 502. The outlets of the two second water outlet pipes 502 are set on the other side of the axial direction of the circular structure. In this way, when the cleaning device moves along the axis of the rotating body 6, there are cleaning liquid flows in front of it and behind it. The cleaning liquid flow in front of it achieves pre-wetting of the rotating body 6 before cleaning, and the cleaning liquid flow behind it achieves the rinsing function after cleaning the rotating body 6. The cleaning liquid flows in front and behind ensure the cleaning quality of the rotating body 6.

[0053] As a further improvement, the water distribution pipe 1 is also equipped with a third water outlet pipe 503. The outlet of the third water outlet pipe 503 is arranged radially along the circular structure. In this way, the rolling brush 3 can be cleaned during the cleaning process of the rotating body 6, which further ensures the cleaning quality of the rotating body 6.

[0054] Moreover, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the roller brush bracket 2 is provided with a bayonet 201 for fixing the first water outlet pipe 501, the second water outlet pipe 502, and the third water outlet pipe 503. This ensures that the water outlet pipes 5 can stably provide cleaning fluid flow in a fixed direction, improving the cleaning quality of the rotating body 6.

[0055] In addition, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the adjacent roller brush brackets 2 are hinged to the second hinge portion 203 through the first hinge portion 201, so that the roller brush brackets 2 can rotate around a rotation axis parallel to the axis of the rotating body 6. In this way, the cleaning device has a certain deformation capability and can better adapt to irregular structures such as protrusions or depressions on the outer surface of the rotating body 6.

[0056] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-4 As shown, the roller brush 3 is cylindrical, with a through hole in the middle fitted onto the through pin 204 of the roller brush bracket 2. The cylindrical roller brush 3 has limit nuts 8 on both sides to ensure that the roller brush 3 will not move left and right along the through pin 204 when it rolls. Moreover, this structure allows the roller brush 3 to rotate easily on the rotating body 6, ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0057] Moreover, in this embodiment, the water distribution pipe 1 is a flexible hose, so that the water distribution pipe 1 can be easily connected end to end to form a circular structure, and the circular structure also has a certain deformation capability, which can better adapt to irregular structures such as protrusions or depressions on the outer surface of the rotating body 6.

[0058] In summary, the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
