Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a clearing device, and more particularly to a clearing device for a lock gate. Background Technology

[0002] As a key facility in shipping hubs, the unobstructed flow of the lock area directly affects the safety and efficiency of ship passage. In actual operation, floating debris such as aquatic plants, plastic products, and branches tend to accumulate at the lock gates, which not only affects the aesthetics but may also hinder the normal opening and closing of the locks and even pose safety hazards to passing ships.

[0003] Traditional manual debris removal methods rely on operators using small boats and simple tools such as nets and rakes to retrieve debris. This method has significant drawbacks: first, it is inefficient, requiring frequent trips to empty the debris; second, it poses high safety risks, as operators must approach the gate's moving area, increasing the risk of accidents; and third, it is not thorough, failing to effectively remove submerged or partially submerged debris.

[0004] While mechanical debris removal equipment alleviates the burden on manual labor to some extent, it still has the following problems: 1. Limited impurity handling capacity: Existing equipment mostly uses a mesh filtration principle, which can easily cause blockage at the feed inlet when encountering larger floating objects, requiring manual cleaning after machine shutdown. 2. Insufficient adaptability: Traditional equipment struggles to handle mixed debris of different properties, especially resilient aquatic plants that can easily become entangled in the rotating parts of the equipment. 3. Inconvenient discharge: Most equipment still requires manual transfer after collecting debris, adding a secondary processing step. 4. Complex installation and maintenance: Existing equipment often requires a dedicated installation foundation, resulting in poor adaptability to existing lock structures. 5. Insufficient operational safety: Manual cleaning exposes workers to the moving area of ​​the lock gate, increasing the risk of accidents. Summary of the Invention

[0021] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] I. Device Structure

[0023] As shown in the attached diagram, the present invention includes a fixing frame 1, a debris collection assembly, a crushing assembly 4, and a lifting assembly. The structure and connection method of each assembly are as follows:

[0024] Fixed frame 1: As the basic support structure of the device, mounting holes 7 are provided on both the left and right sides of the top surface of the fixed frame 1 for fixing the device to the gate position with screws. A hoisting device 31 of the lifting assembly is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the fixed frame 1. In this embodiment, an electric hoist is preferred.

[0025] The debris collection component 2 includes a collection frame 21 and a ramp frame 22. The collection frame 21 is a container for collecting debris. The ramp frame 22 is fixedly welded to its front side, and a connecting ring 8 is fixedly welded to the center of the top rear side for connecting to the lifting component. A closed mesh plate 9 is embedded through the rear side of the collection frame 21 by a latch. The latch is divided into two parts, one part is installed on the rear side of the collection frame 21, and the other part is installed on the surface of the closed mesh plate 9, which facilitates disassembly and discharge of debris.

[0026] Lifting assembly 3 includes an electric hoist 31, a flexible traction component 32 (preferably a steel wire rope in this embodiment), and a fixed pulley 33. The electric hoist 31 is fixedly installed at the center of the top of the fixed frame 1; the fixed pulley 33 is fixedly welded to the center of the front side of the fixed frame 1; one end of the steel wire rope 32 is wound around the electric hoist 31, and the other end passes through the surface of the fixed pulley 33 and is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the connecting ring 8.

[0027] Crushing component 4: Located inside the collection frame 21, it includes a first drive motor 41, a rotating rod 42, auxiliary teeth 43, and crushing teeth 44. Auxiliary teeth 43 are fixedly welded to both the front and rear sides of the inner cavity of the collection frame 21; the first drive motor 41 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the right side of the collection frame 21, and its output shaft passes through the inner cavity of the collection frame 21 and is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 42; the surface of the rotating rod 42 is fixedly fitted with crushing teeth 44, and the crushing teeth 44 and auxiliary teeth 43 are staggered to form a shearing crushing area, which can crush large impurities and effectively avoid the accumulation of large impurities and blockage.

[0028] The agitator assembly 5 is fixedly installed on the top front side of the collection frame 21 and includes a second drive motor 51, a guide mesh plate 52, and a scraper plate 53. The second drive motor 51 is fixedly installed on the front right side of the collection frame 21, and its output shaft is fixedly connected to the guide mesh plate 52. The scraper plate 53 is fixedly welded to the front side of the guide mesh plate 52, and its rear side is rotatably connected to the front side of the collection frame 21 via a rotating shaft. The mesh structure of the guide mesh plate 52 has both guiding and drainage functions, which can guide impurities while draining water from the impurities, avoiding excessive resistance during agitation.

[0029] The guiding device 6 includes a guide rod 61, a support base plate 62, and a guide ring 63. The upper end of the guide rod 61 is fixedly welded to the surface of the fixing frame 1, and the lower end is fixedly welded to the support base plate 62. By setting the support base plate 62, the collection frame 21 can be prevented from falling off the surface of the guide rod 61. The guide ring 63 is fixedly welded to the left and right sides of the rear top of the collection frame 21, and its inner cavity is slidably disposed on the surface of the guide rod 61 to ensure that the collection frame 21 moves vertically.

[0030] II. Equipment Installation

[0031] During installation, first, fix the mounting bracket 1 to the top of the gate using screws through the mounting holes 7 to ensure stable support. The collection frame 21 is suspended below the mounting bracket 1 via a lifting assembly. The guide ring 63 works in conjunction with the guide rod 61, allowing the collection frame 21 to slide along the guide rod 61. The closed mesh plate 9 is fixed to the rear of the collection frame 21 with a locking buckle, completing the overall installation. After installation, check that all component connections are secure.

[0032] III. Device Use

[0033] In use, the second drive motor 51 of the agitator assembly 5 is started, and the output shaft drives the guide mesh plate 52 and the scraper plate 53 to rotate. The scraper plate 53 pushes the impurities around the gate upwards, guiding them into the collection frame 21. At the same time, the first drive motor 41 of the crushing assembly 4 is started, and the output shaft drives the rotating rod 42 to rotate, so that the crushing teeth 44 and the auxiliary teeth 43 work together to crush large impurities. The crushed impurities fall to the bottom of the inner cavity of the collection frame 21.

[0034] When a significant amount of impurities accumulate inside the collection frame 21, the electric hoist 31 of the lifting assembly is activated to wind up the wire rope 32. The wire rope 32 changes direction via the fixed pulley 33, pulling the collection frame 21 vertically up to a higher position along the guide rod 61. During the lifting process, the guide ring 63 and the guide rod 61 ensure the stable ascent of the collection frame 21. Once the collection frame 21 has reached the appropriate height, the latch of the sealing mesh plate 9 is manually unlocked, and the sealing mesh plate 9 is removed, allowing the impurities to be quickly discharged from the rear of the collection frame 21. After discharge, the sealing mesh plate 9 is reinstalled, and the electric hoist 31 is activated in reverse to lower and reset the collection frame 21, allowing the clearing operation to continue.
