Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of power cable technology, and more specifically to a power cable cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Power cables are cables used to transmit and distribute electrical energy. They are widely used in urban underground power grids, power plant lead-out lines, internal power supply in industrial and mining enterprises, and underwater transmission lines across rivers and seas. The basic structure of a power cable consists of four parts: the conductor, the insulation layer, the shielding layer, and the protective layer. The conductor is the conductive part of the power cable, used to transmit electrical energy. The insulation layer electrically isolates the conductor from the ground and from conductors of different phases, ensuring the transmission of electrical energy. The shielding layer is mainly used to improve the electric field distribution and enhance the electrical performance of the cable. The protective layer protects the power cable from the intrusion of external impurities and moisture, as well as from direct damage by external forces. During the processing of power cables, it is necessary to clean the dust from their surface.

[0003] Currently, most methods for cleaning dust from cable surfaces involve using a single brush. However, the cleaning method of a single brush is limited by its physical contact area and the density of the bristles, making it difficult to reach the entire surface of the cable and resulting in incomplete cleaning.

[0041] The dust extraction component 11 is connected to the cleaning chamber 2 and is used to discharge the cleaned dust from the cleaning box 1.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, a toothed condition 3 is installed on the cleaning box 1, which is arranged horizontally and located above the cleaning chamber 2. A movable block 4 is installed on the cleaning box 1, located below the toothed condition 3, and a cylinder 5 is used to drive the movable block 4 to move back and forth along the toothed condition 3. Two sliding grooves 12 are opened on the top of the cleaning box 1. Slider blocks 13 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the movable block 4.

The two assembly cylinders 7 are respectively installed at the bottom end of the two rotating rods 61. The assembly cylinders 7 are located below the moving block 4.

[0044] In this embodiment, an elastic air-blowing component 8 is installed on the assembly cylinder 7. A brush component 9 located below the assembly cylinder 7 is installed at the bottom end of the elastic air-blowing component 8. The elastic air-blowing component 8 includes two elastic air-pushing parts 81. Two symmetrically arranged assembly channels are opened along the center inside the assembly cylinder 7. The two elastic air-pushing parts 81 are respectively installed in the two assembly channels. The brush component 9 is installed at the bottom end of the two elastic air-pushing parts 81. The top ends of the two elastic air-pushing parts 81 are connected to air-blowing parts 82 facing the brush component 9. The elastic air-pushing part 81 includes an air cylinder 811. The two air cylinders 811 are respectively installed in the two assembly channels. A piston 812 is slidably disposed inside the cylinder 811. A movable rod 813 is mounted on the bottom of the piston 812 and slides through the bottom end of the air cylinder 811. A brush 9 is mounted on the bottom end of the two movable rods 813. A spring 814 is sleeved on the movable rod 813 and located between the brush 9 and the assembly cylinder 7. The two ends of the spring 814 are respectively connected to the assembly cylinder 7 and the brush 9. The air blowing part 82 includes an air blowing pipe 821. One end of the two air blowing pipes 821 is connected to the top end of the two air cylinders 811 respectively. The end of the air blowing pipe 821 away from the air cylinder 811 is bent downward and set towards the brush 9. A filter element 822 is installed inside the air blowing pipe 821.

[0045] In this embodiment, the brush component 9 includes a brush cylinder 91, which is installed at the bottom of two movable rods 813. The bottom of the spring 814 is connected to the top of the brush cylinder 91. Brush bristles 92 are connected to the outer periphery of the brush cylinder 91. A rolling part 93 is installed at the bottom of the brush cylinder 91 and abuts against the protrusion 10. The rolling part 93 is tactilely connected to the protrusion 10. The rolling part 93 includes a rolling block 931, which is installed at the bottom of the brush cylinder 91. A ball bearing 932 is tactilely connected to the bottom of the rolling block 931 and abuts against the top of the protrusion 10.

[0046] In this embodiment, the protrusion 10 is specifically a wave-shaped protrusion 10, which is installed at the bottom of the cleaning chamber 2. The bottom of the brush 9 abuts against the top of the wave-shaped protrusion 10. The wave-shaped protrusion 10 includes a wave block 101, which is installed at the bottom of the cleaning chamber 2. The top of the wave block 101 is integrally formed with a wave surface 102. The wave surface 102 is provided with densely arranged arc-shaped protrusions 103, and the ball bearing 932 abuts against the wave surface 102.

[0047] In this embodiment, a dust extraction component 11 is installed on the cleaning box 1, which communicates with the cleaning chamber 2 and is positioned towards the wave-shaped protrusion 10. The dust extraction component 11 includes a dust extraction pump 111, which is installed at the edge of the front of the cleaning box 1. The suction end of the dust extraction pump 111 is connected to a horizontally arranged dust guide pipe 112. Several dust extraction pipes 113 are connected to the side of the dust guide pipe 112 at intervals. The ends of the several dust extraction pipes 113 away from the dust guide pipe 112 all pass through the front of the cleaning box 1 and are positioned towards the wave surface 102 at the top of the wave block 101.

[0048] It should be noted that power cables can be passed through the cleaning chamber 2 inside the cleaning box 1. Both sides of the cleaning box 1 are provided with wire passage holes 14 that communicate with the cleaning chamber 2. The wire passage holes 14 are used to pass power cables. Two brush cylinders 91 are positioned on either side of the cable. The cylinder 5 pushes the moving block 4 to reciprocate laterally along the toothed plate 32, causing the gear body 62 on the rotating rod 61 to roll on the rack body 33 of the toothed plate 32. The rotating rod 61 drives the assembly cylinder 7 and the brush cylinders 91 to rotate simultaneously. As the brush cylinders 91 rotate, the bristles 92 on the brush cylinders 91 clean the dust from the cable surface. The moving block 4 moves the brush cylinders 91 along with it. The ball bearings 932 at the bottom of the brush cylinder 91 roll on the wave surface 102 at the top of the wave block 101. The brush cylinder 91 moves up and down along the wave surface 102. The movable rod 813 connected to the brush cylinder 91 pushes the piston 812 to reciprocate within the cylinder 811. The assembly cylinder 7 and... The springs 814 between the brush cylinders 91 extend and compress accordingly. Due to the arc-shaped protrusions 103 on the wave surface 102, and under the elastic action of the springs 814, the brush cylinders 91 can be driven to shake, thereby shaking off the dust adhering to the outer surface of the bristles 92. Then, the dust pump 111 can be started to suck the dust cleaned in the cleaning box 1 into it along the dust suction pipe 113 and the dust guide pipe 112, and then discharge it. This structure enhances the cleaning power through the covering rotation cleaning and wave-like movement of the brush component 9. Under the action of wave-like movement, the brush component 9 can be driven to shake, helping it to shake off the dust adhering to its outer surface. Then, in conjunction with the dust suction component 11, the cleaned dust can be discharged in time, maintaining a clean environment in the cleaning box 1.

[0049] It should be further explained that when the brush cylinder 91 moves up and down in a wave-like manner, the movable rod 813 connected to the brush cylinder 91 pushes the piston 812 to move back and forth in the air cylinder 811. This allows the gas in the air cylinder 811 to be blown back and forth along the air blowing pipe 821 towards the brush bristles 92, making it easier to blow off the dust adhering to the outer surface of the brush bristles 92. The filter element 822 prevents dust from being sucked into the bottom of the air blowing pipe 821. This structure, through the extension and compression of the elastic air blowing element 8, blows the internal gas back and forth towards the outer surface of the brush bristles 92, making it easier to blow off the dust adhering to the brush bristles 92. The dust is then discharged through the dust pump 111.

[0050] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present invention compared with the prior art are as follows:

[0051] (1) The power cable can be passed through the cleaning chamber inside the cleaning box by the protruding parts, so that the two brush parts are distributed on both sides of the cable, which can cover and clean the cable. Then, the moving block can be pushed by the cylinder to move laterally back and forth along the tooth condition, so that the gear parts on the moving block can roll on the surface of the tooth condition, and drive the assembly cylinder and the brush parts to rotate at the same time. When the brush parts rotate, they can sweep the dust on the surface of the cable. In addition, when the brush parts move, they can move up and down in a wave-like manner along the top surface of the protruding parts, which will drive the elastic blowing parts to undergo corresponding elastic deformation. Under the elastic action of the elastic blowing parts, they can shake themselves, thereby shaking off the dust adhering to the outer surface of the brush parts. Then, the dust swept by the dust extraction part can be discharged. This structure enhances cleaning power through the wrapping and rotating cleaning of the brush and the wave-like movement. The wave-like movement also causes the brush to shake, helping to shake off the dust adhering to its outer surface. Then, when used with the dust extraction component, the swept dust can be discharged in time, maintaining a clean environment inside the cleaning box, thereby improving the cleaning effect on cables.

[0052] (2) Through the provided elastic air blowing component, when the brush piece moves up and down in a wave-like motion on the top surface of the wave-shaped protrusion component, it can drive the elastic air blowing component on the assembly cylinder to perform extension and compression actions. Then, the elastic air blowing component blows the internal gas back and forth to the outer surface of the brush piece, making it easier to blow off the dust adhering to the outer surface of the brush piece. This structure, through the extension and compression actions of the elastic air blowing component, blows the internal gas back and forth to the outer surface of the brush piece, making it easier to blow off the dust adhering to the brush piece.

[0053] (3) Through the combined action of the elastic air blowing component, the brush component and the convex part, the self-cleaning of the brush component can be achieved, and the brush component is continuously cleaned, which improves the cleaning effect of the cable.

[0054] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. Therefore, any equivalent variations made in accordance with the claims of the present invention are still within the scope of the present invention.
