Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to a warehouse cleaning machine, in particular to a warehouse cleaning machine with a lifting and retractable swing arm. Background Art

[0002] Powder silos are equipment used to store loose materials. They are also essential equipment in the manufacturing process of combustible powder materials such as flour, starch, and cornmeal. Due to the complexity of the characteristics of powder materials and their variability during processing and storage, they often form wall hanging, material accumulation, and arching in the warehouse. When the above situation occurs, it is necessary to clean the inside of the silo. The common cleaning method now is for workers to enter the silo for manual cleaning. However, the silo is a closed and limited space and the powder material is very easy to collapse during the cleaning process, which poses a huge hidden danger to the personal safety of people entering the silo.

[0003] To solve the above problems, China Utility Model No. 202222773019.2 (An explosion-proof pneumatic bin cleaning machine) provides a bin cleaning machine that uses compressed air as a power source and can achieve rotation and swing. Although the bin cleaning machine can clean the powder bin when in use, it often results in poor cleaning effects because the internal structure cannot be observed during bin cleaning. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides a warehouse clearing machine with a liftable telescopic swing arm, which is used to solve the defects in the prior art.

[0005] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A liftable telescopic swing arm warehouse clearing machine comprises a computer, a rotating mechanism, an up and down lifting mechanism, a cleaning mechanism and a control mechanism. The rotating mechanism and the up and down lifting mechanism are controlled by the control mechanism. The rotating mechanism comprises a rocker arm, which is fixedly connected to a connecting rod. The lower end of the connecting rod is hingedly connected to an infrared camera facing the cleaning mechanism. The infrared camera transmits signals to the computer. The rocker arm is also hingedly connected to one end of a telescopic rod, and the other end of the telescopic rod is hingedly connected to the infrared camera.

[0007] When the present application is in use, the cleaning structure is used to clean the powder silo, and the rotation mechanism and the up-down lifting mechanism are used to realize the rotation and lifting of the cleaning structure. Among them, the infrared camera can take pictures of the cleaning situation and transmit it to the computer, so that the staff can observe the internal situation through the computer and change the rotation mechanism, the up-down lifting mechanism and the cleaning mechanism through the control mechanism at an appropriate time, so as to realize the cleaning of the inside of the powder silo. Since the infrared camera is set on the swing arm, it can swing synchronously with the swing arm, so it rotates with the cleaning mechanism when it rotates, and at the same time, it can swing along the hinge point of the connecting rod driven by the telescopic rod. Therefore, when the cleaning mechanism is lifted up and down, its position can still be accurately located, so as to realize accurate observation.

[0008] Preferably, the air inlet end of the telescopic rod is connected to the air pipe of the bin cleaning machine through a connecting hose, and a first valve controlled by a control mechanism is provided on the connecting hose. Thus, the telescopic rod can be extended and shortened by utilizing the compressed air required by the cleaning mechanism, eliminating the need for a drive mechanism specifically arranged for the telescopic rod to drive its extension and shortening, thereby saving costs to a certain extent.

[0009] Preferably, the infrared camera is fixedly provided with a support rod, and the support rod is provided with an air blowing nozzle for blowing air toward the infrared camera lens. The air blowing nozzle can blow air toward the infrared camera, thereby cleaning the infrared camera lens and ensuring clear observation.

[0010] Preferably, the air blowing nozzle is connected to one end of a branch hose, the other end of the branch hose is connected to a connecting hose and the distance from the connection to the air pipe is less than the distance from the first valve to the air pipe, and a second valve is provided on the branch hose, and the second valve is controlled by a control mechanism. The air blowing nozzle also utilizes the compressed air required by the cleaning mechanism, further eliminating the need for a power source specifically provided for the air blowing nozzle, thereby further saving costs to a certain extent.

[0011] Preferably, the support rod is an L-shaped structure and the transverse part of the support rod is parallel to the infrared camera. The support rod is a tubular structure with closed ends. The nozzle is vertically connected and connected to the support rod, and the air outlet end of the connecting hose is connected to the support rod. The transverse part of the support rod is parallel to the infrared camera, and the nozzle is perpendicular to the transverse part of the support rod, which can ensure that the blowing of the nozzle can blow directly to the infrared camera lens. At the same time, the support rod is tubular and closed at both ends, so that the gas can be transmitted to the nozzle through the support rod.

[0012] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: the use of the present application, under the premise of utilizing the rotating mechanism and the up and down lifting mechanism to realize the cleaning of the silo, can utilize the infrared camera to transmit data to the computer, and utilize the control mechanism to control the rotating mechanism and the up and down lifting mechanism, thereby realizing the precise cleaning of the silo.

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiment of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiment of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiment of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiment is a part of the embodiment of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiment of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0019] A warehouse clearing machine with a lifting and retractable swing arm, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown. It includes a computer 5, a rotating mechanism 1, an up-and-down lifting mechanism, a cleaning mechanism 3 and a control mechanism 4. The rotating mechanism 1 and the up-and-down lifting mechanism are controlled by the control mechanism 4. The rotating mechanism 1 includes a rocker arm 2, which is fixedly connected to a connecting rod. The lower end of the connecting rod is hingedly connected to an infrared camera 7 facing the cleaning mechanism 3. The infrared camera 7 transmits signals with the computer 5. The rocker arm 2 is also hingedly connected to one end of a telescopic rod 6. The other end of the telescopic rod 6 is hingedly connected to the infrared camera 7. The air inlet end of the telescopic rod 6 is connected to the air pipe 14 of the warehouse cleaning machine through a connecting hose 8. The connecting hose 8 is provided with a first valve 9 controlled by the control mechanism 4.

[0020] In the present application, the compressed gas that provides power for the cleaning mechanism 3 is sufficient for use, and will not be unable to clean due to branching to the telescopic rod 6 and the air outlet nozzle.

[0021] Among them, the cleaning structure is used to clean the powder silo, and the rotating mechanism 1 and the up and down lifting mechanism are used to realize the rotation and lifting of the cleaning structure (this part is all prior art, so it will not be described in detail in the specification). Among them, the infrared camera 7 can shoot the cleaning situation and transmit it to the computer 5, so that the staff can observe the internal situation through the computer 5 and change the rotating mechanism 1 and the up and down lifting mechanism through the control mechanism 4 at an appropriate time, thereby realizing the cleaning of the inside of the powder silo. Since the infrared camera 7 is set on the swing arm, it can swing synchronously with the swing arm, so it rotates with the cleaning mechanism 3 when it rotates. When the cleaning mechanism 3 moves up and down, the first valve 9 opens and closes, so that the compressed air required by the cleaning mechanism 3 can be used to drive the extension and shortening of the telescopic rod 6, so that when the cleaning mechanism 3 is lifted up and down, its position can still be accurately located, thereby realizing accurate observation. The drive mechanism specially arranged for the telescopic rod 6 to drive its extension and shortening is omitted, which saves costs to a certain extent.

[0022] A support rod 10 is fixedly arranged on the infrared camera 7, and a blowing nozzle 11 for blowing air toward the lens of the infrared camera 7 is arranged on the support rod 10. The blowing nozzle 11 can blow air to the infrared camera 7, thereby cleaning the lens of the infrared camera 7 to ensure that it can be observed clearly.

[0023] The air blowing nozzle 11 is connected to one end of a branch hose 12, and the other end of the branch hose 12 is connected to the connecting hose 8, and the distance from the connection to the air pipe 14 is less than the distance from the first valve 9 to the air pipe 14. The branch hose 12 is provided with a second valve 13, and the second valve 13 is controlled by the control mechanism 4. The air blowing nozzle 11 also uses the compressed air required by the cleaning mechanism 3, further eliminating the need to provide a power source specifically for the air blowing nozzle 11, thereby further saving costs to a certain extent. Specifically, when spraying is not required, the second valve 13 is in a closed state. When spraying is required, the second valve 13 is controlled by the control mechanism 4 to open and the first valve 9 is closed, and the compressed air can enter the branch hose 12 through the connecting hose 8 to achieve jetting. Similarly, when the telescopic rod 6 is extended, the second valve 13 is closed and the first valve 9 is opened.

[0024] The support rod 10 is an L-shaped structure and the lateral part of the support rod 10 is parallel to the infrared camera 7. The support rod 10 is a tubular structure with closed ends. The nozzle is vertically connected and connected to the support rod 10, and the air outlet end of the connecting hose 8 is connected to the support rod 10. The lateral part of the support rod 10 is parallel to the infrared camera 7, and the nozzle is perpendicular to the lateral part of the support rod 10, which can ensure that the blowing of the nozzle can blow directly to the lens of the infrared camera 7. At the same time, the support rod 10 is tubular and closed at both ends, so that the gas can be transmitted to the nozzle through the support rod 10.

[0025] The use of the present application, under the premise of utilizing the rotating mechanism 1 and the up and down lifting mechanism to clean the silo, can utilize the infrared camera 7 to transmit data to the computer 5, and utilize the control mechanism 4 to control the rotating mechanism 1 and the up and down lifting mechanism, thereby realizing accurate cleaning of the silo.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the utility model.
