Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cement silo cleaning, and in particular to a cement silo cleaning machine and cleaning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Because cement in a cement silo is in powder form, after a period of use, this powder easily adheres to the silo walls, forming cement deposits. These deposits thicken over time, reducing the silo's volume and thus its efficiency. Sometimes, the cement can detach and break off into lumps or flakes of varying sizes, mixing with the cement powder. This can cause minor issues like clogging the feeder, or more serious problems like forming arches on the hoppers inside the silo, preventing material from draining and causing production stoppages. Therefore, regular cleaning is necessary.

[0003] The prior art discloses a patent with publication number CN117446531A, entitled "A Cement Silo Cleaning Device and Operating Method," which includes a lifting assembly mounted on the top wall of the cement silo and capable of rotating relative to the silo; a main beam assembly connected to the lifting assembly, the length of which is adjustable; a blasting assembly connected to the main beam assembly, used to clean a first cement clump in the silo; a wall-cleaning assembly located inside the silo, used to clean a second cement clump; and a driving assembly that drives the main beam assembly to swing relative to the lifting assembly, or drives the wall-cleaning assembly to fold and extend. The cleaning device of this application adjusts the positions of the blasting assembly and the wall-cleaning assembly in three directions (axial, radial, and axial) to achieve comprehensive cleaning of cement clumps on the inner wall of the cement silo, allowing cement powder to flow smoothly out of the silo.

[0004] However, in actual use, the cement silo cleaning device is too heavy and is not stable enough because it only rotates relative to the cement silo through the lifting components. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, there is a need to provide a cement silo cleaning machine and equipment to solve the technical problem that the cement silo cleaning device is not stable enough due to its excessive weight and the fact that it only rotates relative to the cement silo through the lifting components.

[0016] Unlike existing technologies, the technical solution of this application features multiple winches hooking onto the track assembly, supporting the track assembly while allowing adjustment of its vertical position. To enhance the overall stability of the track assembly, a support mechanism is specifically designed to contact the inner wall of the cement silo. Furthermore, a cleaning mechanism is installed on the track assembly. This cleaning mechanism can move relative to the track assembly and uses a rotating working head to clean cement clumps from the inner wall of the cement silo. Simultaneously, the rotating working head can move horizontally under the action of a first cleaning motor, adjusting the horizontal cleaning range. Because the track assembly provides stable support, the cleaning mechanism is sufficiently stable during track assembly movement, allowing it to rotate around the inner wall of the cement silo to clean cement clumps. In addition, the working range of the rotating working head in both the vertical and horizontal directions can be adjusted separately by the winches and the first cleaning motor, achieving multi-directional cleaning of cement clumps from the inner wall of the cement silo.

Detailed Implementation

[0034] For ease of explanation, horizontal and vertical directions are defined, and these directions are perpendicular to each other. For ease of explanation, as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figures 9 to 12 As shown by the arrows, the direction of arrow X is the horizontal direction, and the direction of arrow Y is the vertical direction.

[0035] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides a silo cleaning device 100, including a cement silo 2 and a cement silo cleaning machine 1. The top of the cement silo 2 is provided with any number of through holes 21, ranging from 7 to 9, evenly distributed around its circumference. The number of winches 112 corresponds to the number of through holes 21, with one winch 112 installed at each through hole 21.

[0036] The top of the cement silo 2 has 7 to 9 through holes 21 evenly distributed around its circumference, such as... Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the cement silo 2 has seven through holes 21 evenly distributed around its circumference, and these through holes 21 are located on the outer perimeter of the top of the cement silo 2. The through holes 21 can be circular holes with a diameter of 120 cm. In addition to the through holes 21, the top of the cement silo 2 also has a manhole door 22 and a dust collection hole 23. The manhole door 22 can cover the through holes 21. The manhole door 22 is specifically for workers to enter the cement silo 2 via a suspended basket.

[0037] The technical solution of this application includes a cement silo cleaning machine 1 that can clean cement clumps from the inner wall of a cement silo 2 vertically from top to bottom (Y direction). Furthermore, it can also clean the inner wall of the cement silo 2 around its circumference. In addition, compared to existing cement silo cleaning devices that require the use of the feed inlet at the top center of the cement silo 2, making them unsuitable for all cement silos 2, this application only requires 7 to 9 through holes 21 evenly distributed around the top of the cement silo 2, eliminating the need to occupy the feed inlet at the top center of the cement silo 2, thus making it more suitable for various types of cement silos 2.

[0038] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 12The present invention also provides a cement silo cleaning machine 1, including a moving mechanism 11, a supporting mechanism 12, and a cleaning mechanism 13. The moving mechanism 11 includes a track assembly 111, two or more winches 112, and a moving assembly 113. The track assembly 111 is installed inside the cement silo 2 and is circular. The track assembly 111 includes two or more moving tracks 1111, and adjacent moving tracks 1111 are connected by track bolts. The two or more winches 112 are respectively installed at through holes 21 opened on the top of the cement silo 2. The hook of the hoist 112 hooks onto the track assembly 111. Two or more winches 112 are used to synchronously control the track assembly 111 to move vertically in the Y direction. The support mechanism 12 includes two or more sets of support components 121. Two or more support components 121 are evenly distributed on the track assembly 111. Each support component 121 includes a support cylinder 1211 and a support roller 1212. The support cylinder 1211 is installed on the top of the track assembly 111. The output end of the support cylinder 1211 is connected to the support roller 1212. The support roller 1212 is used to contact the inner wall of the cement silo 2. (Silo cleaning) Mechanism 13 includes a mounting base 131, a first cleaning assembly 132, a rotating working head 133, and a rotating motor 134. A moving assembly 113 is connected to the mounting base 131 and drives the mounting base 131 to move on a moving track 1111. The first cleaning assembly 132 includes a first cleaning guide rail 1321, a first slider 1322, a first moving lead screw 1323, and a first cleaning motor 1324. The first cleaning guide rail 1321 is mounted horizontally along the X direction at the bottom of the mounting base 131. The first slider 1322 is connected to the first cleaning guide rail 1321. The sliding connection includes a first moving lead screw 1323 extending horizontally in the X direction, a threaded connection between the first moving lead screw 1323 and a first slider 1322, an output end of a first cleaning motor 1324 connected to the first moving lead screw 1323, a rotating working head 133 mounted on the first slider 1322, and an output end of a rotating motor 134 connected to the rotating working head 133. The first cleaning motor 1324 drives the first moving lead screw 1323 to rotate, causing the rotating working head 133 to move horizontally in the X direction, while the rotating motor 134 drives the rotating working head 133 to rotate.

[0039] The track assembly 111 includes two or more moving tracks 1111, which are arc-shaped. For example... Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the track assembly 111 includes three moving tracks 1111. Taking the track assembly 111 with three moving tracks 1111 as an example, during actual installation, firstly, the first moving track 1111 is inserted into the cement silo 2 through one of the through holes 21, manholes 22, or dust collection holes 23, and the moving track 1111 inside the cement silo 2 is hooked by the hook of the winch 112. Secondly, the end of the first moving track 1111 is connected to the beginning of the second moving track 1111 by track bolts. After the connection is completed, the second moving track 1111 is sent into the cement silo 2, and at the same time, the second moving track 1111 already inside the cement silo 2 is hooked by the hook of the winch 112. Next, the end of the second moving track 1111 is connected to the beginning of the third moving track 1111 via track bolts. After the connection is completed, the third moving track 1111 is sent into the cement silo 2. Simultaneously, the third moving track 1111, already inside the cement silo 2, is hooked by the hook of the winch 112. Finally, when all three moving tracks 1111 are inside the cement silo 2, the winch 112 hooks all three tracks 1111, making the track assembly 111 parallel to the horizontal direction X. Workers enter the cement silo 2 through the manhole 22 via a suspended basket. The workers then connect the end of the third moving track 1111 to the beginning of the first moving track 1111 via track bolts, thus making the entire track assembly 111 circularly positioned inside the cement silo 2. The support mechanism 12 and the cleaning mechanism 13 can be pre-installed on one of the moving tracks 1111, or they can be manually installed after the moving tracks 1111 are installed. After the track assembly 111 is installed, the workers check the connection points of the moving track 1111 and whether the track assembly 111 is parallel to the horizontal direction X. Once the check is successful, the support mechanism 12 is activated, and the piston rod of the support cylinder 1211 extends towards the inner wall of the cement silo 2, so that the support roller 1212 contacts the inner wall of the cement silo 2, thereby stabilizing the track assembly 111. Other track assemblies 111 are operated according to the same procedure. Preferably, the number of support assemblies 121 is the same as the number of winches 112.

[0040] The moving component 113 can be an existing mobile device to drive the mounting base 131 to move on the moving track 1111, thereby allowing the rotating working head 133 to rotate around the inner wall of the cement silo 2 to clean the cement clumps on the inner wall of the cement silo 2. The first cleaning component 132 can move the rotating working head 133 in the horizontal direction X to fine-tune the position of the rotating working head 133 in the horizontal direction X, thus better cleaning the cement clumps on the inner wall of the cement silo 2. Simultaneously, the rotating motor 134 rotates the rotating working head 133 to clean the cement clumps on the inner wall of the cement silo 2. The first cleaning component 132 is a lead screw linear module. In some embodiments, the first cleaning component 132 can also be a synchronous belt module, a rack and pinion module, or a linear motor module, etc.

[0041] The technical solution of this application includes multiple winches 112 hooking onto the track assembly 111, supporting the track assembly 111 while adjusting its position in the vertical Y direction. To enhance the overall stability of the track assembly 111, a support mechanism 12 is specifically provided that contacts the inner wall of the cement silo 2. Furthermore, a cleaning mechanism 13 is provided on the track assembly 111. The cleaning mechanism 13 can move relative to the track assembly 111. The cleaning mechanism 13 cleans cement clumps from the inner wall of the cement silo 2 using a rotating working head 133. Simultaneously, the rotating working head 133 can move horizontally in the X direction under the action of a first cleaning motor 1324, adjusting the cleaning range in the X direction. Because the track assembly 111 is stably supported, the cleaning mechanism 13 is sufficiently stable when the track assembly 111 moves, allowing the cleaning mechanism 13 to rotate around the inner wall of the cement silo 2 to clean cement clumps. In addition, the working range of the rotating working head 133 in the vertical direction Y and the horizontal direction X can be adjusted by the winch 112 and the first cleaning motor 1324 respectively, so as to achieve multi-directional cleaning of cement lumps on the inner wall of the cement silo 2.

[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the track assembly 111 also includes a first track rack 1112, which is installed below the moving track 1111; the moving assembly 113 includes a first moving motor 1131, a first moving gear 1132, and two first moving pulleys 1133. The first moving motor 1131 is mounted on the mounting base 131, and the output end of the first moving motor 1131 is connected to the first moving gear 1132. The first moving gear 1132 meshes with the first track rack 1112. A first moving pulley 1133 is installed on each of the two inner sides of the top of the mounting base 131. The two first moving pulleys 1133 slide on the inner and outer sides of the moving track 1111, respectively. The first moving motor 1131 is used to drive the first moving gear 1132 to rotate, so that the mounting base 131 moves on the moving track 1111.

[0043] The moving track 1111 has an I-shaped cross-section, with a groove at the bottom of the I-shape. This groove is specifically for mounting the first track rack 1112 and also restricts the horizontal movement of the mounting base 131. The first moving gear 1132 is hinged to the mounting base 131. The first moving motor 1131 is connected to the first moving gear 1132, driving it to rotate. The first moving gear 1132 then meshes with the first track rack 1112 (which is also circular). Simultaneously, the two inner sides of the top of the mounting base 131 can engage with the inner and outer sides of the moving track 1111 via first moving pulleys 1133. This prevents the mounting base 131 from slipping due to gravity due to the gear and rack connection alone, and the first moving pulleys 1133 also serve as guides.

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, the track assembly 111 also includes a second track rack 1113 and two limiting strips 1114. One side of the second track rack 1113 is mounted on the bottom of the moving track 1111 by connecting bolts 1115, and the two limiting strips 1114 are spaced apart on the bottom of the moving track 1111. The moving assembly 113 includes a second moving motor, a second moving gear 1134, and three second moving pulleys 1135. The second moving motor is mounted on the mounting base 131, and the output end of the second moving motor is connected to the second moving gear. The second moving gear 1134 is connected to the second track rack 1113. A second moving pulley 1135 is installed on each of the two inner sides of the top of the mounting base 131. The two second moving pulleys 1135 slide on the inner and outer sides of the moving track 1111, respectively. Another second moving pulley 1135 is connected to the mounting base 131 and is located between the two limit bars 1114. The second moving motor is used to drive the second moving gear 1134 to rotate so that the mounting base 131 moves on the moving track 1111.

[0045] The moving track 1111 has an I-shaped cross-section, and the second track rack 1113 is an arc-shaped rack, forming a circle after connection. The second track rack 1113 is connected to the moving track 1111 by connecting bolts 1115. Therefore, the second track rack 1113 can be located inside the moving track 1111 or between the moving track 1111 and the inner wall of the cement silo 2. Preferably, the second track rack 1113 is located between the moving track 1111 and the inner wall of the cement silo 2. Due to the position of the second track rack 1113, a special limiting strip 1114 is needed to limit one of the second moving pulleys 1135 to prevent the mounting base 131 from moving left or right in the horizontal direction X. Therefore, three second moving pulleys 1135 are required. In some embodiments, such as Figure 7As shown, the track assembly 111 also includes two pulleys 1117 and a third track chain 1116. The two pulleys 1117 are spaced apart and installed at the bottom of the moving track 1111. One side of the third track chain 1116 is bolted to one of the pulleys 1117. The moving assembly 113 also includes a third moving motor, a third moving sprocket 1136, and three third moving pulleys 1137. The third moving motor is mounted on the mounting base 131, and the output end of the third moving motor is connected to the third moving sprocket 1117. The third moving sprocket 1136 is connected to the third track chain 1116. A third moving pulley 1137 is installed on each of the two inner sides of the top of the mounting base 131. The two third moving pulleys 1137 slide on the inner and outer sides of the moving track 1111, respectively. Another third moving pulley 1137 is connected to the mounting base 131 and is located between the two pulley chains 1117. The third moving motor is used to drive the third moving sprocket 1136 to rotate so that the mounting base 131 moves on the moving track 1111.

[0046] like Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 13 also includes a second cleaning assembly 135. The rotating working head 133 is mounted on the first slider 1322 via the second cleaning assembly 135. The second cleaning assembly 135 includes a second cleaning motor 1351, a second cleaning guide rail 1352, a second moving lead screw 1353, and a second slider 1354. The top of the second cleaning motor 1351 is mounted on the first slider 1322, and the bottom of the second cleaning motor 1351 is mounted on the second cleaning guide rail 1352. The output end of the second cleaning motor 1351 is connected to the second moving lead screw 1353. The second cleaning guide rail 1352 and the second moving lead screw 1353 extend in the vertical direction Y. The second slider 1354 is slidably connected to the second cleaning guide rail 1352 and is also threadedly connected to the second slider 1354. The second cleaning motor 1351 is used to drive the second moving lead screw 1353 to rotate, so that the rotating working head 133 moves in the vertical direction Y.

[0047] In addition to being able to make slight adjustments to its direction in the horizontal direction X, the rotating working head 133 can also be made slight adjustments to its direction in the vertical direction Y under the action of the second cleaning component 135, thereby further expanding the cleaning range and improving cleaning efficiency. The second cleaning component 135 is a lead screw linear module. In some embodiments, the second cleaning component 135 can also be a synchronous belt module, a gear and rack module, or a linear motor module, etc.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 8The cleaning mechanism 13 also includes a cutting assembly 136, which includes a cutting head 1361 and a cutting motor 1362. The cutting head 1361 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting base 131, and the output end of the cutting motor 1362 is connected to the cutting head 1361. The cutting motor 1362 is used to drive the cutting head 1361 to rotate around its central axis.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, the cutting head 1361 is closer to the inner wall of the cement silo 2 than the rotating head 133. Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, the rotating working head 133 and the cutting working head 1361 rotate in different directions. The rotating working head 133 rotates under the action of the rotating motor 134, while the cutting working head 1361 rotates around the central axis under the action of the cutting motor 1362. By setting the cutting working head 1361, the cleaning efficiency of cement lumps on the inner wall of the cement silo 2 can be further improved.

[0050] like Figure 11 As shown, the cleaning assembly also includes a third cleaning assembly 137. The cutting motor 1362 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting base 131 via the third cleaning assembly 137, and the cutting head 1361 is located on one side of the rotating head 133. The third cleaning assembly 137 includes a third cleaning guide rail 1371, a third moving lead screw 1372, a third cleaning motor 1373, and a third slider 1374. The third cleaning guide rail 1371 is mounted on the bottom of the mounting base 131 along the horizontal direction X. The third slider 1374 is slidably connected to the third cleaning guide rail 1371. The third moving lead screw 1372 extends along the horizontal direction X and is threadedly connected to the third slider 1374. The output end of the third cleaning motor 1373 is connected to the third moving lead screw 1372. The cutting head 1361 is mounted on the third slider 1374. The third cleaning motor 1373 is used to drive the third moving lead screw 1372 to rotate, so that the cutting head 1361 moves along the horizontal direction X.

[0051] The cutting head 1361 is located on one side of the rotating head 133, that is, the cutting head 1361 is located inside or outside the rotating head 133. The third cleaning assembly 137 can move the cutting head 1361 in the horizontal direction X to fine-tune the position of the cutting head 1361 in the horizontal direction X, so as to better clean the cement clumps on the inner wall of the cement silo 2. The third cleaning assembly 137 is a lead screw linear module. In some embodiments, the third cleaning assembly 137 can also be a synchronous belt module, a gear and rack module, or a linear motor module, etc.

[0052] like Figure 12As shown, the inventory clearing assembly also includes a fourth inventory clearing assembly 138. The cutting motor 1362 is mounted on the third slider 1374 via the fourth inventory clearing assembly 138. The fourth inventory clearing assembly 138 includes a fourth inventory clearing motor 1381, a fourth inventory clearing guide rail 1382, a fourth moving lead screw 1383, and a fourth slider 1384. The top of the fourth inventory clearing motor 1381 is mounted on the third slider 1374, and the bottom of the fourth inventory clearing motor 1381 is mounted on the fourth inventory clearing guide rail 1382. The output end of 81 is connected to the fourth moving lead screw 1383. The fourth cleaning guide rail 1382 and the fourth moving lead screw 1383 extend in the vertical direction Y. The fourth slider 1384 is slidably connected to the fourth cleaning guide rail 1382. The fourth slider 1384 is also threadedly connected to the fourth moving lead screw 1383. The cutting motor 1362 is mounted on the fourth slider 1384. The fourth cleaning motor 1381 is used to drive the fourth moving lead screw 1383 to rotate so that the cutting head 1361 moves in the vertical direction Y.

[0053] In addition to being able to make slight adjustments in the horizontal direction (X), the cutting head 1361 can also be made slight adjustments in the vertical direction (Y) under the action of the fourth cleaning component 138, thereby further expanding the cleaning range and improving cleaning efficiency. The fourth cleaning component 138 is a lead screw linear module. In some embodiments, the fourth cleaning component 138 can also be a synchronous belt module, a gear and rack module, or a linear motor module, etc.

[0054] In some embodiments, the cement silo cleaning machine 1 further includes a control mechanism, which is communicatively connected to the moving mechanism 11, the supporting mechanism 12, and the cleaning mechanism 13. The control mechanism allows for more flexible control of the operation of each mechanism. In other embodiments, a remote controller can also be provided, which is communicatively connected to the control mechanism, allowing operators to manually control the operation of each mechanism.

[0055] like Figure 5 As shown, the moving mechanism 11 also includes two or more level measuring instruments 114. Each moving track 1111 is equipped with a level measuring instrument 114. The level measuring instrument 114 is communicatively connected to the control mechanism. The control mechanism is used to control the winch 112 according to the level data detected by the level measuring instrument 114 so that the track assembly 111 is parallel to the horizontal direction X.

[0056] A level measuring instrument 114 is mounted on top of the moving track 1111, and is positioned differently from the support assembly 121. The level measuring instrument 114 ensures that the track assembly 111 remains parallel in the horizontal X direction after descent.

[0057] When the track assembly 111 has been installed in the cement silo 2 according to the specified operation, the cement silo cleaning machine 1 is used as follows:

[0058] S01: The control mechanism starts the support mechanism 12 to keep the track assembly 111 stable;

[0059] S02: The control mechanism controls the starting of the moving mechanism 11 and the cleaning mechanism 13, so that while the moving mechanism 11 controls the cleaning mechanism 13 to move around the track assembly 111, the cleaning mechanism 13 cleans the cement clumps on the inner wall of the cement silo 2.

[0060] S03: After the cleaning mechanism 13 rotates around the track assembly 111 to complete the specified number of cleaning cycles, the control mechanism controls the support mechanism 12 to close, the support cylinder 1211 retracts its piston rod, and the support mechanism 12 is released.

[0061] S04: The control mechanism controls multiple winches 112 to operate synchronously, so that the track assembly 111 moves downward in the vertical direction Y to a specified position. Then, the control mechanism controls the support mechanism 12 to start, so that the track assembly 111 remains stable.

[0062] S05: Repeat steps S03-S04 until the bottom of cement silo 2 or the location of the maintenance door is cleared.

[0063] In step S02, it is important to note that the cleaning mechanism 13 cleans the cement lumps on the inner wall of the cement silo 2, that is, to ensure that the rotary motor 134 and the cutting motor 1362 are started, and then the first cleaning motor 1324, the second cleaning motor 1351, the third cleaning motor 1373 and the fourth cleaning motor 1381 are started according to the actual situation.

[0064] In step S03, it is important to note that the track assembly 111 may be equipped with a position sensor at the initial position of the mounting base 131. The position sensor is used to detect the mounting base 131. It can be configured that after the position sensor detects the mounting base 131 two or more times, it transmits the detection data to the control mechanism. The control mechanism then controls the support mechanism 12 to close, and the support cylinder 1211 retracts its piston rod, thus releasing the support of the support mechanism 12. In some embodiments, a camera may also be installed on the mounting base 131. The camera can rotate 360° and is aimed at the inner wall of the cement silo 2. The camera is communicatively connected to the control mechanism, and it sends the detected image data to the control mechanism in real time. The control mechanism analyzes the image data through an internal program to determine the cleaning status of the cleaning mechanism 13. When the cleaning mechanism 13 reaches a specified cleaning level, the control mechanism controls the support mechanism 12 to close, and the support cylinder 1211 retracts its piston rod, thus releasing the support of the support mechanism 12. If the cleaning mechanism 13 does not reach the specified cleaning level, the control mechanism controls the cleaning mechanism 13 to continue cleaning until the specified cleaning level is reached.

[0065] In step S04, it is important to note that the control mechanism controls multiple winches 112 to operate synchronously, allowing the track assembly 111 to move downwards in the vertical direction Y to a designated position. Then, the control mechanism controls the level measuring instrument 114 to detect the level and controls the corresponding winch 112 based on the detected level data, ensuring that the track assembly 111 is parallel to the horizontal direction X. Afterwards, the control mechanism activates the support mechanism 12 to stabilize the track assembly 111.

[0066] Step S05 is followed by step S06: After the cement silo cleaning machine 1 has finished cleaning, the staff can enter the cement silo 2 through the maintenance door to clean the hardened material at the bottom of the silo.
