Description

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of drainage, in particular to a suction type pipe culvert dredging robot. BACKGROUND

[0002] The existing culvert dredging method is mainly manual dredging. To ensure the safety of the workers, the workers are replaced every half hour. Before the manual dredging operation, gas detection, ventilation, and personnel wearing protective clothing are required. The cleaning speed is slow, the risk coefficient is high, the time and labor are consumed, and the efficiency is low. The existing dredging robot generally directly sucks the sludge by a slurry pump for cleaning. This direct suction method is prone to blockage, and the slurry pump needs to be cleaned before working, which affects the dredging time and efficiency.

[0003] For example, a negative pressure conveying type dredging robot is disclosed in Chinese patent CN206800494U. Although it can move in hidden narrow places such as culverts, it has the problems of pipeline recovery and inaccurate position control. Moreover, the position of the robot cannot be adjusted and controlled, which easily leads to incomplete cleaning.

[0004] Another typical example is a culvert dredging robot disclosed in Chinese patent CN219137937U, which uses special tools to clean sludge of different particle sizes. However, it cannot completely clean the inner wall of the culvert, and there are dead angles in cleaning.

[0005] Meanwhile, the existing traditional pipe culvert dredging methods mainly include the following:

[0060] The collecting unit 5 is arranged on one side of the cleaning unit, and the adjusting unit adjusts the position of the cleaning unit, so that the adjusting unit rotates along the axis of the culvert 1;

[0061] Optionally, the cleaning unit comprises a cleaning plate 4, a cleaning seat 20, a supporting rod 15, a supporting driving mechanism and an expelling member, the cleaning plate 4 is arranged at one side end surface of the cleaning seat 20, one end of the supporting rod 15 is drivingly connected with the supporting driving mechanism to drive the supporting rod 15 to perform telescopic action, the supporting driving mechanism is arranged on the adjusting unit, the other end of the supporting rod 15 is connected with the cleaning seat 20, the cleaning seat 20 is provided with a sludge storage cavity 17 with one end opening, the opening of the sludge storage cavity 17 is arranged towards one side of the cleaning plate 4, the expelling member is arranged in the sludge storage cavity 17 and pushes the sludge in the sludge storage cavity 17 towards the collecting unit 5;

[0062] In the present example, the cleaning plate 4 is made of deformable silicone rubber material; the cleaning plate 4 made of silicone rubber material is in contact with the inner wall of the culvert 1 to protect the inner wall of the culvert 1 from being damaged during cleaning;

[0063] The collecting unit 5 comprises a collecting port 22, a collecting cavity 14, an electronic valve 21 and a vibrating member, the collecting cavity 14 is used for storing sludge, the collecting port 22 is arranged on the collecting cavity 14 and is arranged towards one side of the cleaning unit, the vibrating member vibrates the sludge entering the collecting cavity 14 so that the sludge can be concentrated at the suction duct 2 and transported to the outside by cooperating with the conveying module, the electronic valve 21 is arranged in the sludge storage cavity 17;

[0065] In the present example, before the expelling member pushes the sludge in the sludge storage cavity 17 into the collecting port 22, the rotating member needs to align the collecting port 22 and open the electronic valve 21 so that the sludge can smoothly enter the collecting cavity 14;

[0067] When the adjusting unit adjusts the position of the mud storage cavity 17, it rotates along the axis of the culvert 1. When the two are opposite to each other and the emitter 26 emits a ray that can be received by the receiver 25, it is in the alignment state. At this time, the pushing member can be triggered to push the sludge to the collection port 22 and into the collection cavity 14.

[0068] The vibration member includes a vibrator 28, a vibration plate 27, and at least one vibration spring, one end of the vibration spring is connected with one side end face of the vibration plate 27, the other end of the vibration spring is connected with the side wall of the collection cavity 14, the vibrator 28 is arranged on the vibration plate 27 and drives the vibration plate 27 to vibrate;

[0069] When the vibration plate 27 vibrates, the sludge in the collection cavity 14 can vibrate, deposit near the suction pipe 2, and be sucked to the outside by the conveying unit;

[0070] The discharge member is opposite to the collection port 22 of the collection unit 5, so that the discharge member pushes the sludge into the collection cavity 14.

[0075] The mutual cooperation of the supporting unit, the cleaning unit and the collecting unit 5 makes the cleaning rate of the sludge in the culvert 1 more efficient, and the accuracy of the scraping and collecting of the sludge is considered, so that the whole system has the advantages of good cleaning effect, high cleaning efficiency and good inner wall cleaning effect;

[0076] Optionally, the evaluation module comprises a detection unit and an evaluation unit, the detection unit collects cleaning data of the cleaning position of the cleaning unit, and the evaluation unit evaluates the cleaning end face of the cleaning module according to the cleaning data;

[0077] The detection unit comprises an ultrasonic sensor, a data storage and a turning member, the ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the thickness data of the sludge in the culvert 1, the data storage stores the data measured by the ultrasonic sensor, and the turning member adjusts the detection position of the ultrasonic sensor, so that the ultrasonic sensor collects sludge thickness data at different angles;

[0078] Optionally, the evaluation unit obtains the cleaning data collected by the detection unit and calculates the cleanliness index Clean of the cleaning position of the cleaning unit according to the following formula:

[0079]

[0080] In the formula, h i is the sludge thickness value collected by the ultrasonic sensor at the i-th angle, w i is the weight of the i-th angle, which is obtained in combination with actual application, technical requirements and historical experience according to specific conditions, R is the radius of the culvert, p i is the sludge property coefficient at the i-th angle, if it is pure sludge, p i is obtained as 0.9, if it is a mixture of sludge and water, p i is obtained as 0.5; n is the total number of angles collected;

[0081] When there is only pure sludge in the culvert, the measurement result of the ultrasonic sensor is strongly affected by the sludge density, because the viscosity of the sludge hinders the propagation of the sound wave therein, based on this observation, a higher coefficient is set for pure sludge, then p i = 0.9;

[0082] When there is a mixture of sludge and water in the culvert, due to the presence of water, the propagation of the sound wave in the mixture is relatively easier, but the mixture still has certain hindrance, especially when the concentration of the sludge increases; therefore, we set a medium coefficient for the mixture, p i = 0.5;

[0083] Of course, the skilled in the art can set or adjust the sludge property coefficient according to the scene of use, so in this embodiment, it is not described one by one;

[0084] The weight w of the i-th angle i Considering that the distribution of sludge in the culvert may be non-uniform, measurements at different angles may have different contributions to the overall cleanliness of the sludge; this is why we need to assign a weight to each angle;

[0085] At the same time, the determination of the weight w i is based on the following aspects:

[0086] 1) Characteristics of sludge distribution: for example, if the sludge accumulates thicker in some parts of the culvert, measurements of these parts may be more important;

[0087] 2) Geometry and physical properties of the culvert: the shape and physical properties of the culvert may affect the distribution of sludge and the accuracy of measurements;

[0088] 3) Historical data and experience: past data and cleaning experience may provide valuable information for determining the weight;

[0089] For example:

[0090] Suppose the culvert has four measurement angles: 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°;

[0091] Based on historical data and experience, it is known that the sludge accumulates the thickest at 0° and 90° angles, so the measurement results at these two angles may be more important; therefore, higher weights can be assigned to these two angles;

[0092] On the other hand, 45° and 135° may have thinner sludge or for some reason the measurements are not accurate enough; therefore, lower weights can be assigned to these two angles;

[0093] The weight distribution is as follows:

[0094]

[0095] In summary, the weight of the angle needs to be set to a positive number, and the determination of the weight of the angle is a process that combines practical application, technical requirements and historical experience, and should be adjusted according to the specific situation; if the cleanliness index Clean of the cleaning position of the cleaning unit is lower than the set monitoring threshold Neat, the cleaning module is triggered to continue cleaning the current cleaning position;

[0096] If the cleanliness index Clean of the cleaning position of the cleaning unit is higher than the set monitoring threshold Neat, it means that the current cleaning position meets the cleaning standard;

[0097] The monitoring threshold Neat is set by the system or the administrator according to the actual situation, which is a technical means familiar to those skilled in the art, and those skilled in the art can consult relevant technical manuals to learn the technology, so it is not repeated in this embodiment.

[0098] In this embodiment, the evaluation module evaluates in real time during the cleaning process of the cleaning module, and feeds back the evaluation result to the cleaning module in real time, so as to trigger the cleaning unit to clean the current cleaning position, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the whole system for the sludge in the culvert 1 and the cleanliness of the culvert 1.

[0099] Through the cooperation of the detection unit and the evaluation unit, the cleaning state of the sludge can be evaluated, and the cleanliness of the cleaning position is ensured.

[0100] Meanwhile, through the cooperation of the cleaning module and the evaluation module, the cleaning state of the cleaning module can be evaluated, the cleaning efficiency of the whole system for the sludge in the culvert 1 is improved, and the whole system has the advantages of good cleaning effect, high cleaning efficiency, high cleaning cleanliness of the culvert inner wall and high intelligence.
