These drawings and text descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to those skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0047] Many common equipment have tower structures, such as drilling platforms, communication towers, wind turbines, water towers, etc. Take wind turbines as an example. The tower of a wind turbine is exposed to a relatively harsh natural environment for a long time. The wind and sun will cause some sand and dust to accumulate on the outer wall of the tower. After long-term use, the outer wall of the tower will accumulate dirt, which may even corrode the tower over the years. Therefore, the outer wall of the tower needs to be cleaned.

[0048] At present, the cleaning method of the outer wall of the tower mainly relies on manual cleaning, usually hanging a rope from the top of the tower, and the cleaning staff hangs on the rope to perform cleaning work. The overall work is difficult, dangerous, costly, time-consuming, and inefficient. In response to this problem, the technical concept of this application is: including a magnetic suspension component and a cleaning component, a magnetic track formed by an electromagnet is arranged on the inner wall of the tower, and the magnetic track is arranged along the height direction of the tower, and the magnetic track is at least two side by side. The cleaning component includes a cleaning piece, and the cleaning piece is connected to at least two magnetic pieces. When the cleaning component is placed at the corresponding position of the magnetic track on the outer wall of the tower, the magnetic piece on the cleaning piece corresponds to the position of the magnetic track, and there is a repulsive force between one magnetic track and the corresponding magnetic piece so that the cleaning piece is suspended, and there is an attractive force between the other magnetic track and the corresponding magnetic piece so that the cleaning piece does not leave the magnetic track. After the cleaning piece is suspended, it slides down along the outer wall of the tower under the action of gravity and cleans the outer wall of the tower.

[0049] The technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0050] In a possible embodiment of the present application, a tower outer wall cleaning device is provided. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a tower outer wall cleaning device provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 Including the schematic diagram of the device from above and the schematic diagram of the electromagnet laying below, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes a cleaning component 100 and a magnetic suspension component 200, the cleaning component 100 includes a cleaning piece 110, and the cleaning piece 110 is configured to abut against the outer wall of the tower 400;

[0051] The magnetic suspension component 200 includes at least one first electromagnet 210, at least one second electromagnet 220 and at least two magnetic members 230. Each first electromagnet 210 and each second electromagnet 220 are respectively arranged on the inner wall of the tower 400 along the height direction of the tower 400;

[0052] Each magnetic piece 230 is connected to the cleaning piece 110 respectively, each first electromagnet 210 and each second electromagnet 220 corresponds to a magnetic piece 230 respectively, and there is attraction and repulsion between the first electromagnet 210 and the second electromagnet 220 and the magnetic piece 230 respectively, so that the cleaning piece 110 is suspended on the outer wall of the tower 400.

[0053] Specifically, the first electromagnet 210 and the second electromagnet 220 can be constructed as a magnetic track to extend along the height direction of the tower 400. There is a repulsive force between the first electromagnet 210 and its corresponding magnetic member 230, so that the cleaning member 110 is suspended on the outer wall of the tower 400, and there is an attractive force between the second electromagnet 220 and its corresponding magnetic member 230, so that the cleaning member 110 does not deviate from the magnetic track. The cleaning member 110 and the cleaning component 100 can be reasonably weighted to maintain balance when subjected to repulsive and attractive forces.

[0054] It should be noted that the first electromagnet 210 and the second electromagnet 220 form a complete magnetic track. A plurality of such magnetic tracks can be arranged around the tower 400 , thereby completing the cleaning of the outer wall of the entire tower 400 .

[0055] Optionally, the magnetic suspension component 200 also includes a control mechanism, which is electrically connected to the first electromagnet 210 and the second electromagnet 220, and the control mechanism is configured to control the magnetic force of the first electromagnet 210 and the second electromagnet 220. Since the first electromagnet 210 and the second electromagnet 220 are both electromagnets, the control mechanism can adjust the magnetic force of the first electromagnet 210 and the second electromagnet 220 by controlling the current delivered to the first electromagnet 210 and the second electromagnet 220. By adjusting the magnetic force of the first electromagnet 210 and the second electromagnet 220, the suspension height of the cleaning member 110 on the outer wall of the tower 400 can be adjusted, and then the size of the abutment force of the cleaning member 110 and the outer wall of the tower 400 can be adjusted, so as to adjust the size of the cleaning force. The control mechanism may include a resistive current controller, a capacitive current controller, an inductive current controller or an integrated circuit current controller, etc.

[0056] It should be noted that Figure 1 The structure of the device is only for illustrative purposes, and the magnetic member 230 can be connected to the cleaning member 110 in a variety of ways.

[0057] The technical effects of this embodiment are:

[0058] 1. There is no need to manually clean the outer wall of the tower. The cleaning parts are small in size and light in weight, so they can be easily transported to the top of the tower in a variety of ways, making it easy for the device to clean the outer wall of the tower.

[0059] 2. The cleaning piece automatically slides down from the top of the tower to the bottom under the action of gravity, while cleaning the outer wall of the tower, saving time and effort, high efficiency and low risk;

[0060] 3. Since the cleaning piece is suspended on the outer wall of the tower, there is no rigid friction between the cleaning piece and the outer wall of the tower, which reduces the friction between the cleaning piece and the outer wall of the tower, making the device have low working loss, less maintenance and long service life.

[0061] In a possible embodiment of the present application, another tower outer wall cleaning device is provided. Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of another tower outer wall cleaning device provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 Including the magnetic track diagram above and the cleaning parts diagram below, such as Figure 2 As shown, at least two first electromagnets 210 are provided, and at least one second electromagnet 220 is provided. The second electromagnet 220 is located between the two first electromagnets 210 , and the first electromagnet 210 and the second electromagnet 220 are configured to have multiple arc segments along the height direction of the tower 400 .

[0062] Specifically, there is a repulsive force between the second electromagnet 220 and its corresponding magnetic member 230, so that the cleaning member 110 is suspended, and there is an attractive force between the first electromagnet 210 and the corresponding magnetic member 230. Since the first electromagnet 210 is on both sides of the second electromagnet 220, the attractive force on the cleaning member 110 can be kept balanced. Correspondingly, there are at least three magnetic members 230 connected to the cleaning member 110, and the positions of the magnetic members 230 correspond to the first electromagnet 210 and the second electromagnet 220, respectively.

[0063] The first electromagnet 210 and the second electromagnet 220 are configured to have multiple arc segments along the height direction of the tower 400, so that the cleaning member 110 is subjected to the combined force of the magnetic force and its own gravity when falling, and thus the cleaning force of the cleaning member 110 on the outer wall of the tower 400 can be adjusted by adjusting the arc size of the first electromagnet 210 and the second electromagnet 220. In addition, the curved magnetic track allows the cleaning member 110 to clean a larger area at a time, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.

[0064] In a possible embodiment of the present application, another cleaning component is provided. Figure 3 is another schematic diagram of a cleaning component provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning member 110 includes a cleaning frame 111 and a brush 112 . The brush 112 is installed on the cleaning frame 111 , and the brush 112 abuts against the outer wall of the tower 400 .

[0065] When the cleaning member 110 slides down from the outer wall of the tower 400 , the brush 112 cleans the outer wall of the tower 400 .

[0066] The brush 112 may have multiple rows of bristles. When the brush 112 moves along the height direction of the tower 400, at least one row of bristles abuts against the outer wall of the tower 400 to improve the cleaning effect of the curved outer wall of the tower 400.

[0067] Optionally, the cleaning component 100 further includes a liquid spraying mechanism 120 , which is connected to the cleaning member 110 , and the liquid spraying mechanism 120 is configured to spray a cleaning agent onto the outer wall of the tower 400 .

[0068] The liquid spraying mechanism 120 includes a liquid storage bottle 121 and a compressed gas cylinder 122. The compressed gas cylinder 122 is provided with at least one control valve 123. The liquid storage bottle 121 is connected to a liquid spraying port 124. The control valve 123 is configured to control the gas in the compressed gas cylinder 122 to spray the liquid in the liquid storage bottle 121 from the liquid spraying port 124. Specifically, when the control valve 123 is controlled to open, the compressed gas in the compressed gas cylinder 122 enters the nozzle in front of the liquid storage bottle 121, and sprays the detergent liquid in the liquid storage bottle 121 through the liquid spraying port 124. By arranging the liquid spraying mechanism 120 to spray the detergent to the outer wall of the tower 400, the cleaning effect of the device on the outer wall of the tower 400 can be improved.

[0069] In a possible embodiment of the present application, another tower outer wall cleaning device is provided. Figure 4 Schematic diagram of another tower outer wall cleaning device provided in an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the device also includes a cleaning mechanism 300, which is used to be installed on the tower 400. The cleaning mechanism 300 is configured to spray water onto the top outer wall of the tower 400 so that the water flows down along the outer wall of the tower 400 to clean the outer wall of the tower 400.

[0070] Optionally, the cleaning mechanism 300 includes a water supply pipeline 310 and a water pump 320 , one end of the water supply pipeline 310 is used to be installed on the top of the tower 400 , and the other end extends into the water source, and the water pump 320 is connected to the water supply pipeline 310 .

[0071] The technical effect of this embodiment is that the cleaning effect of the outer wall of the tower can be improved by spraying water on the outer wall of the tower to moisten the outer wall of the tower.
