[0039] Steel cables used in ship lifting, anchoring, mooring, or towing operations frequently operate in seawater and require regular cleaning and maintenance, typically involving multiple steps such as rinsing, blowing water, and oiling. Currently, the cleaning and maintenance of steel cables is usually done manually, requiring multiple people to work together. This work is labor-intensive and involves tedious procedures. Furthermore, due to the weight of steel cables, cleaning them after they have been laid or towed poses significant risks.

[0040] In response, this embodiment provides a steel cable cleaning device to address the problem that the cleaning and maintenance of steel cables in the prior art is usually done manually, requiring the cooperation of multiple people, and that there is a significant risk when cleaning steel cables after they have been laid or towed on a ship. It can be used in the field of steel cable cleaning technology, and can be specifically applied to the cleaning of steel cables for ship lifting, anchoring, mooring, or towing equipment.

[0041] Reference Figures 1-3 The steel cable cleaning equipment is used to clean steel cable 100. The equipment includes a frame 1, a brush 2, a fresh water rinsing device, and a blower. The frame 1 has a steel cable channel for the steel cable 100 to pass through, and supports the steel cable 100. The brush 2 is positioned in the steel cable channel and can contact the outer wall of the steel cable 100, thereby scraping away dust and impurities from the surface of the steel cable 100. The fresh water rinsing device is located downstream of the brush 2 in the steel cable channel and sprays fresh water onto the steel cable 100 to rinse its surface. The blower... The device is installed in the cable channel and downstream of the fresh water rinsing device to blow away water adhering to the outer wall of the cable 100, preventing excessive water residue on the surface of the cable 100 after rinsing. The frame 1 also has a lubricating oil chamber 11 connected to the cable channel and located downstream of the blowing device. The lubricating oil chamber 11 is filled with lubricating oil. When the cable 100 enters the lubricating oil chamber 11 through the cable channel, the lubricating oil in the chamber adheres to the surface of the cable 100, thus achieving oiling of the cable 100 surface. The oiling is done through immersion, resulting in a more even application of the lubricating oil. This cable cleaning equipment can sequentially complete the scraping, rinsing, blowing, and oiling operations of the cable 100, thereby achieving cleaning and maintenance of the cable 100. Furthermore, the cleaning and maintenance process requires minimal manpower and is highly safe.

[0042] Continue to refer to Figures 1-3 The steel cable cleaning equipment also includes a first sealing structure 6 and a second sealing structure 7. The first sealing structure 6 is disposed in the steel cable channel and located between the blower and the lubricating oil chamber 11. The second sealing structure 7 is disposed in the steel cable channel and located downstream of the lubricating oil chamber 11. Both the first sealing structure 6 and the second sealing structure 7 can contact the outer wall surface of the steel cable 100 and form a seal. Thus, after the steel cable 100 passes through the first sealing structure 6, the lubricating oil chamber 11 and the second sealing structure 7 in sequence, the lubricating oil chamber 11 forms a sealed chamber, preventing the lubricating oil in the lubricating oil chamber 11 from leaking.

[0043] Continue to refer to Figures 1-3After the steel cable 100 passes through the lubrication chamber 11, a layer of lubricating oil will adhere to its surface. This lubricating oil will be carried out of the lubrication chamber 11 as the steel cable 100 moves. At this time, some of the lubricating oil on the surface of the steel cable 100 will drip. To address this, in this embodiment, the frame 1 also has an overflow chamber 12 that communicates with the steel cable channel and is located downstream of the second sealing structure 7. The overflow chamber 12 is used to contain the overflowing lubricating oil. The steel cable cleaning device also includes a third sealing structure 8, which is disposed in the steel cable channel and located downstream of the overflow chamber 12. The third sealing structure 8 can contact the outer wall surface of the steel cable 100 and form a seal. Thus, after the steel cable 100 passes through the second sealing structure 7, the overflow chamber 12, and the third sealing structure 8 in sequence, the overflow chamber 12 forms a sealed cavity, preventing lubricating oil leakage from the overflow chamber 12.

[0044] Optionally, the wall of the overflow chamber 12 is also connected to a return oil pipe 121. The return oil pipe 121 is used to allow the lubricating oil in the overflow chamber 12 to flow into the lubricating oil chamber 11, so that the lubricating oil in the overflow chamber 12 flows back to the lubricating oil chamber 11, thereby improving the utilization rate of the lubricating oil and avoiding waste.

[0045] Continue to refer to Figures 1-3 The steel cable cleaning equipment also includes a lubricating oil injection device 5 installed on the frame 1. The lubricating oil injection device 5 is used to supply lubricating oil to the lubricating oil chamber 11. Operators can inject lubricating oil into the lubricating oil chamber 11 through the lubricating oil injection device 5. The lubricating oil injection device 5 is used to connect to the lubricating oil supply equipment and has a corresponding interface.

[0046] Continue to refer to Figures 1-3 The brush 2 is ring-shaped, and the steel cable 100 can pass through the middle of the brush 2. When the steel cable 100 moves in the steel cable channel, it can clean the entire outer wall of the steel cable 100. Optionally, multiple brushes 2 are provided, and multiple brushes 2 are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the steel cable 100, so that when the steel cable 100 moves in the steel cable channel, it can pass through multiple brushes 2 in sequence and be scraped by multiple brushes 2 in sequence, thereby improving the removal effect of dust and impurities.

[0047] Continue to refer to Figures 1-3 The freshwater rinsing device has multiple freshwater spray nozzles 3, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the steel cable 100, so that freshwater can be evenly sprayed onto the outer wall of the steel cable 100 when the steel cable 100 moves in the steel cable channel. Optionally, the freshwater rinsing device also has a freshwater inlet 31 that is connected to the multiple freshwater spray nozzles 3. The freshwater inlet 31 is connected to a freshwater supply device, through which freshwater is injected into the freshwater inlet 31 and further delivered to the multiple freshwater spray nozzles 3.

[0048] Continue to refer to Figures 1-3 The blowing device has multiple air outlets 4, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the steel cable 100. This allows for the uniform blowing of air onto the outer wall of the steel cable 100 as it moves through the cable channel, thereby removing as much water as possible from its outer wall. Optionally, the blowing device also includes a fan interface 41 that connects to the multiple air outlets 4. The fan interface 41 is connected to a fan, which blows air into the fan interface 41, and the air is further expelled through the multiple air outlets 4.

[0049] Continue to refer to Figures 1-3 The frame 1 includes a first housing 13 and a second housing 14. The first housing 13 has a first groove, and the second housing 14 has a second groove. The first housing 13 can be connected to the second housing 14 to communicate with the first groove and form a steel cable channel. When installing the steel cable 100, the first housing 13 and the second housing 14 can be disassembled, and the steel cable 100 can be placed in the first groove or the second groove, with the front end of the steel cable 100 extending out of the first groove to facilitate pulling the steel cable 100 during subsequent cleaning. Then, the first housing 13 and the second housing 14 are connected and installed to facilitate the installation of the steel cable 100. In this embodiment, the first housing 13 and the second housing 14 are detachably connected by wing bolts 15.

[0050] Continue to refer to Figures 1-3 The frame 1 also has a spray chamber 16 that is connected to the steel cable channel and located between the brush 2 and the lubricating oil chamber 11. The fresh water rinsing device and the blowing device are both installed in the spray chamber 16. Thus, when the fresh water rinsing device sprays fresh water onto the steel cable 100 and the blowing device blows away the water attached to the outer wall of the steel cable 100, it can prevent water from falling outside the steel cable cleaning equipment and keep the sewage in the spray chamber 16.

[0051] Continue to refer to Figures 1-3 The frame 1 is also equipped with several handles 17, which users can grasp with their bare hands to move the steel cable cleaning equipment.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
