Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of drainage pipe network monitoring, and in particular to a drainage pipe network monitoring equipment cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] Urban drainage networks are important infrastructure components for managing urban stormwater, wastewater and other runoff. Accurate monitoring of drainage networks is essential for maintaining public health, preventing floods and protecting the environment. Therefore, monitoring equipment such as flow meters, water level sensors and water quality analyzers are usually installed in drainage networks to collect real-time data on water flow, pollution levels and overall system performance. However, the conditions within the drainage network are relatively harsh, including:

[0003] Debris accumulation: Urban runoff often carries various types of debris, such as leaves, plastics, sediment, and organic matter, which can settle on monitoring equipment, leading to inaccurate measurements.

[0004] Biofilm formation: The moist and nutrient-rich environment within the drainage system promotes the growth of biofilm on the sensor surface, further degrading sensor performance.

[0005] Difficult maintenance: Accessing and maintaining monitoring equipment in drainage networks is challenging due to the need to minimize disruption to system operations.

[0006] The existing solution is usually for cleaning personnel to go down to the drainage network regularly for manual cleaning. Although manual cleaning can temporarily restore the accuracy of the sensor, it requires frequent intervention and a lot of manpower, which increases maintenance costs. In addition, the narrow space and dangerous conditions in the drainage network make cleaning the monitoring equipment more challenging and less safe. Summary of the invention

The moving module 1, the lifting module 2, the cleaning module 3 and the detection module 4 are all electrically connected to the control module 5.

[0061] In this embodiment of the present invention, the cleaning module 3, the detection module 4 and the control module 5 can be driven to move up and down by the lifting module 2. The lifting module 2 can be driven to move in all directions by the moving module 1. Since the cleaning module 3, the detection module 4 and the control module 5 are all arranged on the lifting module 2, the moving module 1 can also drive the cleaning module 3, the detection module 4 and the control module 5 to move in all directions. The moving module 1, the lifting module 2, the cleaning module 3 and the detection module 4 can be controlled by the control module 5.

[0062] When the monitoring equipment needs to be cleaned, the cleaning device is lowered into the drainage network.

When the detection module 4 detects the position of the monitoring equipment, the detection module 4 feeds back the information to the control module 5, and the control module 5 controls the mobile module 1 to move to the monitoring equipment. Then the control module 5 controls the cleaning module 3 to open, and the horizontal position and the up and down position of the cleaning module 3 are continuously adjusted by the all-round movement of the mobile module 1 and the up and down movement of the lifting module 2, so that the cleaning module 3 moves to a position convenient for cleaning the monitoring equipment, thereby realizing the cleaning of the monitoring equipment. The cleaning device is used to clean the monitoring equipment in the drainage network, and there is no need for the cleaning personnel to perform manual cleaning, which makes cleaning more convenient, saves manpower, and reduces maintenance costs. At the same time, it prevents the cleaning personnel from going down to the drainage network, protecting the personal safety of the cleaning personnel.

[0063] In other embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 4 , only the cleaning module 3 is arranged on the lifting module 2, and the lifting module 2 drives the cleaning module 3 to move up and down to adjust the position of the cleaning module 3. The lifting module 2, the detection module 4 and the control module 5 are all arranged on the moving module 1, and the lifting module 2, the detection module 4 and the control module 5 can move horizontally with the moving module 1 without moving up and down.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The mobile module 1 includes an omnidirectional crawler 11 and a mounting base 12, and the omnidirectional crawler 11 is arranged on the bottom surface of the mounting base 12. The omnidirectional crawler 11 is electrically connected to the control module 5, so that the omnidirectional crawler 11 is controlled by the control module 5 to move in an omnidirectional manner.

[0065] Of course, the omnidirectional crawler track 11 can also be replaced by a universal roller.

[0066] Optionally, the lifting module 2 is arranged on the upper surface of the installation base plate 12 .

[0067] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the lifting module 2 , the detection module 4 and the control module 5 are all arranged on the upper surface of the installation base plate 12 .

[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The lifting module 2 includes a cylinder 21 and a support plate 22. The cylinder 21 is vertically fixed on the moving module 1, and the support plate 22 is horizontally arranged at the moving end of the cylinder 21. The cylinder 21 is electrically connected to the control module 5 so that the moving end of the cylinder 21 is controlled by the control module 5 to be lifted.

[0069] Optionally, the cleaning module 3 is disposed on a support plate 22 , and when the moving end of the cylinder 21 is raised or lowered, the support plate 22 is also raised or lowered accordingly, thereby driving the cleaning module 3 to move up and down to adjust the height of the cleaning module 3 .

[0070] In other embodiments of the present invention, the cleaning module 3, the detection module 4 and the control module 5 are all arranged on the support plate 22, and the cleaning module 3, the detection module 4 and the control module 5 can be moved up and down by the cylinder 21 and the support plate 22.

[0071] Optionally, the base end of the cylinder 21 is vertically fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the mounting base plate 12 .

[0072] In other embodiments of the present invention, the lifting module 2 may also adopt other conventional lifting mechanisms, such as a screw-nut mechanism, a gear and rack mechanism.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1-Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 The cleaning module 3 includes a water source, a jet pump 31 and a plurality of jet nozzles 32. The water inlet of the jet pump 31 is connected to a water inlet pipe 33, and the end of the water inlet pipe 33 away from the jet pump 31 is connected to the water source. The water outlet of the jet pump 31 is connected to a jet pipe 34, and the end of the jet pipe 34 away from the jet pump 31 is sealed. The plurality of jet nozzles 32 are evenly spaced along the length direction of the jet pipe 34, and each jet nozzle 32 is connected to the jet pipe 34. The water spray port of the jet nozzle 32 faces downward. The jet pump 31 is electrically connected to the control module 5.

[0074] In this embodiment of the present invention, the control module 5 controls the moving module 1 and the lifting module 2 so that the jet nozzle 32 moves to the vicinity and above the monitoring device, and then the control module 5 controls the jet pump 31 to open, and the jet pump 31 obtains water through the water inlet pipe 33 and transports it to the jet tube 34. Since the end of the jet tube 34 away from the jet pump 31 is sealed, the clean water in the jet tube 34 can only be sprayed out from the jet nozzle 32. While the jet nozzle 32 is spraying, the jet nozzle 32 is moved by the moving module 1 and the lifting module 2, and then the monitoring device is sprayed and cleaned by the jet nozzle 32. The monitoring device is cleaned by high-pressure flushing, which has a better cleaning effect and is not easy to damage the monitoring device.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1-Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 The cleaning device further comprises a protective shell 6, which is arranged on the lifting module 2. The jet pump 31 is arranged in the protective shell 6, one end of the jet pipe 34 away from the jet pump 31 passes through the protective shell 6 and extends to the outside, and the jet nozzle 32 is arranged on the portion of the jet pipe 34 extending out of the protective shell 6.

[0076] In this embodiment of the present invention, the jet pump 31 is disposed in the protective shell 6 so as to be separated from the external drainage network space to prevent the jet pump 31 from being damaged by being soaked or splashed by water, thereby extending the service life of the jet pump 31.

[0077] Optionally, the protective shell 6 is fixedly disposed on the support plate 22 .

[0078] Furthermore, since a gap is formed between the jet tube 34 and the protective shell 6 when the jet tube 34 extends out of the protective shell 6, it is necessary to seal the gap between the jet tube 34 and the protective shell 6. For example, a sealing ring is provided in the gap, or the jet tube 34 and the protective shell 6 are welded and sealed.

[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, the detection module 4 and the control module 5 are also arranged in a protective shell 6 to prevent the detection module 4 and the control module 5 from being damaged by being soaked or splashed with water, thereby extending the service life of the detection module 4 and the control module 5.

[0080] Of course, the jet pump 31, the detection module 4 and the control module 5 can also be independently arranged in three protective shells 6. However, compared with arranging the jet pump 31, the detection module 4 and the control module 5 in the same protective shell 6, the structure of the cleaning device is simpler and the layout is more reasonable.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, the jet pump 31, the detection module 4 and the control module 5 are independently arranged in three protective shells 6, the protective shell 6 corresponding to the jet pump 31 is fixedly set on the support plate 22, and the protective shells 6 corresponding to the detection module 4 and the control module 5 are fixedly set on the upper surface of the mounting base 12.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 1 The portion of the jet tube 34 where the jet nozzle 32 is installed is an arc-shaped structure along the length direction, and multiple jet nozzles 32 are arranged along the tangent direction perpendicular to the arc of the jet tube 34, so the arrangement of the jet nozzles 32 is also arc-shaped, so that the jet nozzles 32 can cover a larger space, thereby expanding the cleaning surface of the monitoring equipment and achieving a better cleaning effect.

[0083] Optionally, refer to Figure 5 The jet pipe 34 includes a jet main pipe 341 and two jet branch pipes 342. One end of the jet main pipe 341 is connected to the water outlet of the jet pump 31, and the other end is connected to the two jet branch pipes 342. The ends of the two jet branch pipes 342 away from the jet main pipe 341 are sealed. A plurality of jet nozzles 32 are evenly and fixedly arranged on the side wall of each jet branch pipe 342 along the length direction of the jet branch pipe 342, and each jet nozzle 32 is connected to the jet pipe 34. The two jet branch pipes 342 are in an arc-shaped structure as a whole, and the water spraying ports of the jet nozzles 32 face downward and are perpendicular to the tangent direction of the jet branch pipe 342.

[0084] In this embodiment of the present invention, the two jet branch pipes 342 are moved by the moving module 1 so that the monitoring device is located between the two jet branch pipes 342 , and then the jet nozzle 32 is used to clean the monitoring device.

[0085] Optionally, eight jet nozzles 32 are provided in total, and four jet nozzles 32 are provided on each jet branch pipe 342 .

[0086] Of course, the number of the jet branch pipes 342 may be more than two, for example, three or four.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 5 The control module 5 includes a main control unit board 51 , and the jet pump 31 , the omnidirectional traveling track 11 and the cylinder 21 are all electrically connected to the main control unit board 51 .

[0088] Optionally, the jet pump 31 , the omnidirectional traveling crawler 11 and the cylinder 21 are all electrically connected to the main control unit board 51 using wires 81 .

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The cleaning device also includes a fixing member 71, a stirring wheel assembly 73 and a reamer head assembly 74. The stirring wheel assembly 73 includes a stirring motor 731 and a stirring wheel 732, and the stirring motor 731 is fixedly arranged on the fixing member 71, and the fixing member 71 is arranged on the lifting module 2. The stirring wheel 732 is coaxially fixedly connected with the output shaft of the stirring motor 731. The reamer head assembly 74 includes a reamer motor 741 and a reamer head 742, and the reamer motor 741 is also fixedly arranged on the fixing member 71. The output shafts of the reamer head 742 and the reamer motor 741 are coaxially fixedly connected. The stirring motor 731 and the reamer motor 741 are both electrically connected to the control module 5.

[0090] In this embodiment of the present invention, the stirring motor 731 is controlled by the control module 5, and the stirring motor 731 drives the stirring wheel 732 to rotate coaxially, so that the dirt covering the monitoring device can be crushed. The reamer motor 741 is controlled by the control module 5, and the reamer motor 741 drives the reamer head 742 to rotate coaxially, so that the dirt covering the monitoring device can also be crushed. The stirring wheel 732 component 73 and the reamer head 742 component 74 can be used to break the dirt covering the monitoring device, so as to facilitate the subsequent treatment of the dirt.

[0091] Further, the stirring wheel 732 assembly 73 and the reamer head 742 assembly 74 can be provided in multiple groups, so that the crushing area is wider. Optionally, the stirring wheel 732 assembly 73 is provided in four groups, and the reamer head 742 assembly 74 is provided in two groups.

[0092] Further, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The fixing member 71 has a placement cavity 711 in it, and the stirring motor 731 and the reamer motor 741 are fixedly installed in the placement cavity 711. The output shafts of the stirring motor 731 and the reamer motor 741 pass through the fixing member 71 and are connected to the stirring wheel 732 and the reamer head 742 respectively.

[0093] In this embodiment of the present invention, the stirring motor 731 and the reamer motor 741 are installed in the placement cavity 711 so that the stirring motor 731 and the reamer motor 741 are separated from the external drainage network, thereby protecting the stirring motor 731 and the reamer motor 741.

[0094] Furthermore, when the output shaft of the stirring motor 731 and the output shaft of the reamer motor 741 extend out of the fixing member 71, a gap will be generated between the fixing member 71. Therefore, it is necessary to seal the gap between the output shaft of the stirring motor 731 and the fixing member 71 and the gap between the output shaft of the reamer motor 741 and the fixing member 71.

The sludge suction pump 61 can not only discharge the crushed dirt and the washed dirt out of the drainage network, but also discharge the sludge deposited in the drainage network out of the drainage network, thereby making the cleaning device more versatile.

[0114] Optionally, the sludge suction pump 61 is fixedly arranged on the installation base plate 12, and the outside of the sludge suction pump 61 is also covered with a protective shell 6.

The sludge suction pipe 62 is adjusted up and down to adapt to the height of the deposited sludge in the drainage network, and has a wider application range.

[0116] Optionally, the dredge suction pump 61 is arranged on the support plate 22. The outer cover of the dredge suction pump 61 is provided with a protective shell 6. Of course, the dredge suction pump 61 can also share the protective shell 6 with the jet pump 31 and the control module 5.

[0117] Optionally, multiple mud suction pipes 62 and mud discharge pipes 63 are provided in the form of main pipes and branch pipes to improve mud discharge efficiency.

[0118] Furthermore, the cleaning device also includes a power supply unit 52, and the control module 5, the moving module 1, the lifting module 2 and the cleaning module 3 are all connected to the power supply unit 52 to provide power to the control module 5, the moving module 1, the lifting module 2 and the cleaning module 3.

[0124] In this embodiment of the present invention, by means of a lifting device, one end of the traction cable 84 is connected to the lifting device, so that the cleaning device can be lowered and recovered.

[0125] In summary, when the monitoring device in the drainage network needs to be cleaned, the present invention uses a lifting device and a traction cable 84 to lower the cleaning device into the drainage network. Then the control module 5 controls the omnidirectional traveling crawler 11 to move along the drainage network. While moving, the underwater camera monitors the environmental conditions in the drainage network in real time. When the underwater camera captures the monitoring device in the drainage network, the underwater camera feeds the information back to the control module 5. After the control module 5 processes the image, the specific position of the monitoring device can be determined, and the omnidirectional traveling crawler 11 is controlled to move to the monitoring device. Then the control module 5 controls the stirring motor 731 and the reamer motor 741 to turn on, and then controls the omnidirectional traveling crawler 11 and the cylinder 21 to continuously adjust the horizontal position and the up and down position of the stirring wheel 732 and the reamer head 742, so that the stirring wheel 732 and the reamer head 742 move to a position convenient for crushing the dirt on the monitoring device, so as to crush the dirt on the monitoring device. Then the jet pump 31 is controlled to turn on, and clear water is sprayed out from the jet nozzle 32. Then control the omnidirectional moving crawler 11 and the cylinder 21 to continuously adjust the horizontal position and the vertical position of the jet nozzle 32, so that the jet nozzle 32 moves to a position convenient for cleaning the monitoring equipment, so as to clean the surface of the monitoring equipment. At the same time, the control module 5 can control the sludge suction pump 61 to open, and use the sludge suction pump 61 to suck the dirt in the drainage network to discharge the dirt in the drainage network. After the cleaning is completed, the traction cable 84 can be used again to recover the cleaning device from the drainage network, without the need for cleaning personnel to go down to the drainage network for manual cleaning.
