Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of hydraulic turbine robot processing, and in particular to a vacuum suction cup capable of being adsorbed on a cement floor underwater and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Affected by many factors such as the need to meet the peak demand and ensure power supply during the winter, the hydropower station may increase the peak load regulation during the dry season, and multiple units will be operated normally. At that time, the window period when the downstream water level is lower than the tail sill of the energy dissipation pool will be reduced. When the downstream water level is higher than the tail sill, the river water will flow back into the energy dissipation pool. During the period when the hydropower station units enter the increased peak load regulation period, the staff need to carry out maintenance work in the energy dissipation pool. Once the downstream river water flows back into the energy dissipation pool, the staff must evacuate from the energy dissipation pool in advance, resulting in a waste of manpower, material and financial resources. In addition, there are safety hazards caused by high-altitude edge operations, heavy lifting, and lifting operations under high-voltage lines during the retreat process. Therefore, in order to ensure that the staff can carry out maintenance smoothly during the period when the hydropower station units enter the increased peak load regulation period, it is necessary to set a water retaining plate on the cement floor of the tail sill of the energy dissipation pool to prevent the downstream river water from flowing back into the energy dissipation pool.

[0003] In the related art, a water retaining plate is fixed on the cement floor of the tail bank of the energy dissipation pool by a vacuum suction cup, and the water retaining plate is used to block the river water flowing back from the downstream. However, when the downstream river water overflows the water retaining plate and enters the energy dissipation pool, it may submerge the vacuum suction cup. Since the cement floor surface of the tail bank of the energy dissipation pool is relatively rough, when the river water submerges the vacuum suction cup, it may penetrate into the inside of the vacuum suction cup from the gap between the vacuum suction cup and the cement floor, thereby affecting the suction force of the vacuum suction cup. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a vacuum suction cup that can be used in an underwater environment.

[0004] The invention patent with the publication number CN112456133B discloses an adsorption suction cup structure, which includes a suction cup body. The suction cup body is divided into two parts. The bottom is a funnel-shaped device in contact with the gripping body, and the top is a main suction cup device with a hollow structure. The lower end of the funnel-shaped device is open, and the upper end of the funnel-shaped device is connected to the main suction cup device through the suction cup mouth and encloses the internal chamber of the suction cup. The inner wall surface of the main suction cup device is formed with an internal protrusion downward. When the above-mentioned adsorption suction cup structure is used, the funnel-shaped device is attached to the adsorption position, and a certain force is applied underwater to achieve adsorption and fixation. However, when the funnel-shaped device of the above-mentioned adsorption suction cup structure is adsorbed and fixed on the cement floor, there will still be a certain gap between the funnel-shaped device and the cement floor, thereby affecting the adsorption force of the vacuum suction cup and failing to adapt well to the underwater working environment.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The telescopic mechanism 20 is arranged on the suction cup seat 10, and the scraping brush assembly is connected to the telescopic mechanism 20. The telescopic mechanism 20 is used to drive the scraping brush assembly to retract into the vacuum chamber 13 or extend out of the vacuum chamber 13, and the scraping brush assembly is used to scrape the cement floor. When the vacuum suction cup applied to cement floors and used in underwater environments of the present application is adsorbed and fixed to the cement floor at the end of the energy dissipation pool, the scraping brush assembly can be driven to extend out of the vacuum chamber 13 by the telescopic mechanism 20, and the cement floor contacted by the inner ring sealing strip 90 can be scraped and cleaned by the scraping brush assembly to remove the pumice, sludge and other debris on the surface of the cement floor, so as to avoid affecting the vacuum adsorption effect. After the pumice, sludge and other debris are cleaned, the scraping brush assembly is driven to retract into the vacuum chamber 13 by the telescopic mechanism 20 to avoid interference with the vacuum suction cup applied to cement floors and used in underwater environments of the present application adsorbed to the cement floor.

[0023] Reference Figures 2 to 4 In an optional embodiment, the structure and working principle of the scraping brush assembly are as follows: the scraping brush assembly includes a central axis 30, a brush holder 40, an unfolding member 50 and a support 60. The telescopic mechanism 20 is connected to the central axis 30. There are two brush holders 40. The central axis 30 is provided with a base 33. The base 33 is provided with a slide groove 31. The brush holder 40 is slidably inserted in the slide groove 31. The end of the central axis 30 away from the brush holder 40 is provided with a driving boss 32. The support 60 is rotatably arranged on the base 33 of the central axis 30 close to the end of the brush holder 40. The support 60 is provided with a pointed cone 61 that can stand on the cement floor. The two brush holders 40 are respectively provided with bristles 42. The unfolding member 50 is arranged on the base 33 of the central axis 30 and connected to the two brush holders 40. The unfolding member 50 is used to drive the two brush holders 40 to move in opposite directions or opposite directions.

[0024] When the scraping brush assembly is used to scrape and clean the cement floor contacted by the inner ring sealing strip 90, the support 60 is supported by the pointed cone 61 and stands on the cement floor. At this time, the inner ring sealing strip 90 and the outer ring sealing strip 100 are in a suspended state and are not in contact with the cement floor. The bristles 42 are in contact with the cement floor and are located on the side opposite to the inner ring sealing strip 90 outside the vacuum chamber 13. Then, the electric wrench is connected to the driving boss 32, and the central shaft 30, the brush holder 40 and the bristles 42 are driven by the electric wrench to rotate, and the annular area corresponding to the inner ring sealing strip 90 is cleaned on the cement floor by the bristles 42. After the cleaning is completed, the two brush holders 40 are driven to move toward each other by the unfolding member 50, so that the two brush holders 40 are contracted and closed, so that they can be contracted into the vacuum chamber 13 through the telescopic mechanism 20.

[0025] Reference Figures 4 to 7 In an optional embodiment, the structure and working principle of the unfolding member 50 are as follows: the unfolding member 50 includes a first rotating shaft 51, a first worm 52 and a driving rod 53. The first rotating shaft 51 is rotatably arranged on the base 33 at the end of the central shaft 30. The first rotating shaft 51 is provided with a first gear 511 and a first worm wheel 512. The brush holder 40 is provided with a tooth row 41 meshing with the first gear 511. The first worm 52 is rotatably arranged on the base 33 at the end of the central shaft 30 and meshing with the first worm wheel 512. The driving rod 53 is rotatably arranged on the central shaft 30 along the axial direction of the central shaft 30 and is connected to the first worm 52. More specifically, a first bevel gear 532 is provided at one end of the driving rod 53, and a second bevel gear 521 meshing with the first bevel gear 532 is provided on the first worm 52.

[0026] When it is necessary to drive the two brush holders 40 to move toward or away from each other through the unfolding member 50, a first sleeve 531 can be provided at the other end of the driving rod 53, and an electric wrench can be clamped with the first sleeve 531. The driving rod 53 can be driven to rotate by the electric wrench, and then the first worm 52 can be driven to rotate by the driving rod 53. Then, the first worm gear 512, the first rotating shaft 51 and the first gear 511 can be driven to rotate by the first worm 52. Then, under the interaction of the first gear 511 and the gear row 41, the two brush holders 40 are driven to move toward or away from each other.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 In an optional embodiment, the specific structure of the telescopic mechanism 20 and the specific connection relationship with the central axis 30 are as follows: the telescopic mechanism 20 includes a telescopic seat 21 and a screw 22, the suction cup seat 10 is provided with a guide groove 17, the telescopic seat 21 is slidably penetrated in the guide groove 17, the central axis 30 is rotatably provided on the telescopic seat 21, the telescopic seat 21 is provided with a screw sleeve 211, the screw 22 is rotatably provided on the suction cup seat 10, and is screwed with the screw sleeve 211, and a second sleeve 221 is provided at one end of the screw 22.

[0028] When it is necessary to drive the scraper and brush assembly to retract into the vacuum chamber 13 or extend out of the vacuum chamber 13 through the telescopic mechanism 20, the electric wrench is clamped with the second sleeve 221, and the screw 22 is driven to rotate by the electric wrench. Then, under the interaction between the screw 22 and the screw sleeve 211, the telescopic seat 21 and the central axis 30 and other components are driven to move along the axial direction of the central axis 30, thereby driving the scraper and brush assembly to retract into the vacuum chamber 13 or extend out of the vacuum chamber 13.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 The valve component is used to seal or connect the vacuum chamber 13 and the glue injection chamber 14. The opening and closing driving component 70 is connected to the valve component. When the glue injection chamber 14 is at atmospheric pressure, the valve component connects the vacuum chamber 13 and the glue injection chamber 14. When the glue injection chamber 14 is vacuum, the opening and closing driving component 70 can drive the valve component to seal the vacuum chamber 13 and the glue injection chamber 14.

[0030] When the cement floor is cleaned by the scraper assembly and the scraper assembly is retracted into the vacuum chamber 13 by the telescopic mechanism 20, the inner ring sealing strip 90 is placed on the cleaned cement floor, and the outer ring sealing strip 100 is in contact with the cement floor. At this time, the glue injection chamber 14 is at atmospheric pressure, the valve member connects the vacuum chamber 13 and the glue injection chamber 14, then the glue injection valve 19 is closed, and the vacuum generating device is connected to the vacuum port 15, and the vacuum generating device is used to evacuate the inside of the vacuum chamber 13. Since the vacuum chamber 13 is connected to the glue injection chamber 14, the inside of the glue injection chamber 14 is evacuated at the same time during the evacuation process. During the evacuation process, when the air pressure inside the glue injection chamber 14 changes from atmospheric pressure to vacuum state, the valve member is driven by the opening and closing driving member 70 to block the vacuum chamber 13 and the glue injection chamber 14, so that the vacuum chamber 13 is isolated from the glue injection chamber 14.

[0031] When the vacuum chamber 13 and the glue injection chamber 14 are in a vacuum state, the inner ring sealing strip 90 and the outer ring sealing strip 100 are adsorbed and fixed on the cement floor under the action of negative pressure. Then the glue injection valve 19 is connected to the sealant injection device, and then the glue injection valve 19 is opened, and the sealant is injected into the glue injection chamber 14 through the sealant injection device, and the gap between the inner ring sealing strip 90 and the outer ring sealing strip 100 and the cement floor is filled with the sealant, so as to prevent the river water from flooding the vacuum suction cup of the present application applied to the cement floor and can be used in an underwater environment and then entering the vacuum chamber 13, so as to prevent the adsorption and fixing effect from being affected, thereby better adapting to the underwater working environment.

[0032] Since the sealant is injected into the sealant injection cavity 14 when the cavity 14 is in a vacuum state, that is, when all air is exhausted, bubbles can be avoided from being generated in the sealant in the sealant injection cavity 14, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0033] Reference Figures 8 to 10 In an optional embodiment, the specific structure of the valve member and the opening and closing driving member 70, and the specific connection relationship between the valve member and the opening and closing driving member 70 are as follows: The valve member includes a valve core 80, an air hole 111 is provided on the inner ring enclosure 11, the valve core 80 is rotatably provided on the inner ring enclosure 11, the valve core 80 is provided with a valve hole 81 that can overlap or stagger with the air hole 111, and the opening and closing driving member 70 is connected to the valve core 80 and can drive the valve core 80 to rotate. When the inside of the injection cavity 14 is in the atmospheric pressure state, the valve hole 81 of the valve core 80 overlaps with the air hole 111, and the vacuum cavity 13 is connected with the injection cavity 14 at this time; when the air pressure inside the injection cavity 14 changes from atmospheric pressure to vacuum, the valve core 80 is driven to rotate by the opening and closing driving member 70, so that the valve hole 81 of the valve core 80 is staggered with the air hole 111, and the vacuum cavity 13 is blocked and isolated from the injection cavity 14.

[0034] The opening and closing drive member 70 includes an elastic member and a piston 72. A cylinder 121 that penetrates the injection cavity 14 is provided on the outer ring plate 12. The piston 72 is slidably arranged in the cylinder 121. The piston 72 is connected to the valve core 80 through a linkage member. More specifically, the linkage member includes a second rotating shaft 73 and a second worm 74. A gear ring 82 is provided on the valve core 80. A rack 723 is provided on the piston 72. The second rotating shaft 73 and the second worm 74 are rotatably arranged on the inner ring plate 11. The second rotating shaft 73 is provided with a second gear 731 that meshes with the gear ring 82, and a second worm wheel 732 that meshes with the second worm 74. The second worm 74 is provided with a third gear 741 that meshes with the rack 723.

[0035] The elastic member is used to provide elastic force to push the piston 72 to move toward the outside of the outer ring plate 12. More specifically, the elastic member can be a spring 71. A bracket 122 is provided inside the cylinder 121. The bracket 122 is provided with a guide hole 123, which can be set as a square hole. A guide rod 721 with a square cross-section is provided on the piston 72. The guide rod 721 is slidably inserted into the guide hole 123. A flange 722 is provided on the guide rod 721. The spring 71 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 721, and the two ends of the spring 71 are respectively abutted against the bracket 122 and the flange 722.

[0036] When the air pressure inside the glue injection chamber 14 changes from atmospheric pressure to a vacuum state, the piston 72 overcomes the elastic force of the spring 71 under the action of the atmospheric pressure outside the glue injection chamber 14 and slides into the glue injection chamber 14. When the piston 72 slides along the cylinder 121, it can drive the valve core 80 to rotate, that is, when the piston 72 slides along the cylinder 121, the rack 723 drives the third gear 741 and the second worm 74 to rotate, and then the second worm gear 732, the second rotating shaft 73 and the second gear 731 are driven to rotate through the second worm 74, and then the second gear 731 drives the ring gear 82 and the valve core 80 to rotate, thereby switching the vacuum chamber 13 and the glue injection chamber 14 from a connected state to a blocked state.

[0037] A connecting seat 18 is provided on the suction cup seat 10. The vacuum suction cup of the present application, which is applied to cement floors and can be used in underwater environments, is adsorbed and fixed on the cement floor of the tail bank of the energy dissipation pool. After sealant is poured into the injection cavity 14, the water retaining plate can be connected to the suction cup seat 10 through the connecting seat 18, and the river water downstream of the energy dissipation pool can be blocked by the water retaining plate.

[0038] The present invention also provides a method for using a vacuum suction cup that can be adsorbed on a cement floor underwater, and using the vacuum suction cup as described above comprises the following steps: S1, placing the vacuum suction cup at a predetermined position so that the inner ring sealing strip 90 and the outer ring sealing strip 100 are close to but not in contact with the cement floor; S2, drive the scraping brush assembly to extend out of the vacuum chamber 13 through the telescopic mechanism 20, support it on the cement floor with the pointed cone 61 on the support 60, start the electric tool to drive the central shaft 30, the brush holder 40 and the bristles 42 to rotate, and scrape and clean the cement floor contacted by the inner ring sealing strip 90 to remove pumice, mud and debris on the surface; S3, after cleaning is completed, the two brush holders 40 are driven to move toward each other through the unfolding member 50, so that the brush holders 40 are contracted and closed, and then the scraping brush assembly is driven to be retracted into the vacuum chamber 13 through the telescopic mechanism 20 to avoid interference with the subsequent adsorption process; S4, adjusting the position of the suction cup seat 10 through the telescopic mechanism 20, so that the inner ring sealing strip 90 and the outer ring sealing strip 100 are closely attached to the cleaned cement floor, and starting the vacuum generating device to evacuate the vacuum chamber 13 and the glue injection chamber 14 through the vacuum port 15 until the inside of both reaches a vacuum state; S5. When a vacuum is formed inside the glue injection chamber 14, the atmospheric pressure inside the glue injection chamber 14 decreases, and the piston 72 overcomes the resistance of the elastic member such as the spring 71 under the action of the external atmospheric pressure and moves toward the inside of the glue injection chamber 14, and drives the valve core 80 to rotate through the linkage member, thereby blocking the connection between the vacuum chamber 13 and the glue injection chamber 14, and maintaining the vacuum state of the vacuum chamber 13; S6, injecting sealant into the injection cavity 14 through the injection port 16 to fill the gap between the outer ring sealing strip 100 and the cement floor to further improve the sealing performance. After the injection is completed, wait for the sealant to solidify, confirm the adsorption effect of the vacuum suction cup, and then fix the water retaining plate on the suction cup seat 10 to complete the protection of the cement floor of the tail sill of the stilling pool; S7. When it is necessary to release the adsorption, the atmospheric pressure in the vacuum chamber 13 is restored through the vacuum port 15, and finally the suction cup seat 10 is lifted from the cement floor through the telescopic mechanism 20 to complete the removal of the vacuum suction cup.

[0039] The vacuum suction cup of the present invention has significant advantages in improving sealing and stability, enhancing safety and reliability, simplifying operation procedures, adapting to various working environments, extending service life and economy. These beneficial effects make the invention have important value and broad prospects in practical applications.
