Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunnel cleaning equipment, and more specifically, to a cleaning device for highway tunnel lighting fixtures. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of transportation routes, more and more tunnels are appearing in cities. Due to the relatively enclosed space inside tunnels, vehicles passing through them easily generate dust and emit large amounts of exhaust fumes, which tend to accumulate on the walls inside the tunnel. Manual cleaning is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and working inside tunnels is extremely unsafe. Therefore, tunnel cleaning equipment is becoming increasingly common, and tunnel cleaning devices have emerged accordingly.

[0003] Current methods for cleaning tunnel lights involve first setting up scaffolding on a vehicle, then cleaning manually. This method is not only slow and ineffective, but also poses safety risks due to the height of the scaffolding. Low cleaning efficiency leads to long tunnel closures, affecting highway traffic efficiency and increasing the likelihood of accidents. Summary of the Invention

[0032] The highway tunnel lighting cleaning device in this exemplary embodiment will now be further described.

[0033] In this embodiment, the side wall of the mounting base 100 is provided with a vehicle-mounted fixing mechanism. The device is mounted on a vehicle through the vehicle-mounted fixing mechanism, enabling mobile vehicle-mounted operation and facilitating cleaning operations along the tunnel direction. As a preferred embodiment, the vehicle-mounted fixing mechanism includes a set of disc retainers 810 disposed on the upper part of opposite sides of the mounting base 100 and a support leg fixing plate 820 disposed on the lower part of opposite sides of the mounting base 100.

When the device is installed in the vehicle, the side of the device can be fixed to the vehicle through the disc retainers 810, and the support leg fixing plate 820 can be fixed to the bottom of the vehicle. Fixing the side and bottom surfaces improves the stability of the device.

[0034] In this embodiment, the folding telescopic frame 200 is mounted on the mounting base 100. The folding telescopic frame 200 is composed of multiple connecting rods hinged together. The folding telescopic frame 200 is provided with hydraulic lifting rods 400. Specifically, there are two hydraulic lifting rods 400, which are arranged vertically and horizontally at intervals. The mounting base 100 is provided with a hydraulic pump 410, which is connected to the hydraulic lifting rods 400. The mounting base 100 is also provided with an oil tank for supplying oil to the hydraulic pump 410 and the hydraulic lifting rods 400.

One end of the cleaning angle adjusting push rod 600 is connected to the vertical shaft of the cleaning bracket 300, and the other end is connected to the brush bracket 720. The cleaning angle adjusting push rod 600 directly pushes the brush bracket 720 to perform pitching motion, thereby driving the cleaning brush 710 to perform pitching motion.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, a slide rod 540 is provided between the transverse slide rails 510, and the slide table 520 is slidably connected to the slide rod 540. Displacement locks 550 are provided on opposite sides of the slide table 520 in the direction of the slide rod 540. When the slide table 520 moves a certain displacement along the transverse slide rail 510 to a suitable position, it is locked to the slide rod 540 by the displacement locks 550. A rotation lock 560 is provided on the rotating flange 530. When the rotating flange 530 rotates a certain angle on the slide table 520 to a suitable angle, the rotating flange 530 is fixed by the rotation lock 560 to maintain the stability of the device during cleaning.

The support 551 is connected to the side wall of the slide table 520 and located above the slide rod 540. The top end of the first locking screw 552 is connected to the first handle 553, and the other end of the first locking screw 552 passes through the support 551. When locking is required, the first handle 553 is rotated to rotate the first locking screw downward until it locks against the slide rod 540, thereby fixing the slide table 520. The rotary lock 560 includes a second locking screw and a second handle. The top end of the second locking screw is connected to the second handle, and the bottom end of the second locking screw passes through the rotary flange 530. When locking is required, the second handle is rotated to rotate the second locking screw downward until it locks against the slide table 520, thereby fixing the rotary flange 530. When moving or rotating is required, the handle is rotated to loosen the locking screw.

[0041] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention by those skilled in the art. 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.
