Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of manhole cover production, in particular to a sand removing device for ductile iron manhole covers. Background Art
[0002] Ductile iron manhole covers are produced by making a nodular casting mold and pouring high-temperature molten iron into the mold. After cooling, the gravel on the surface of the casting is removed and trimmed to make the manhole cover. When the manhole cover casting is separated from the mold, a large amount of gravel will adhere to the surface of the manhole cover. These gravels will affect the subsequent trimming accuracy and need to be quickly removed. However, due to the gaps and lettering on the surface of the manhole cover, the gravel will be stuck, resulting in very low sand cleaning efficiency. Therefore, a sand removing device for ductile iron manhole covers is needed to improve the efficiency.

Specific embodiments
[0024] To further understand the features, technical means, specific purposes, and functions achieved by the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0025] See Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a sand removal device for ductile iron manhole covers includes a housing 1, a fan 6 installed in the housing 1 for blowing off sand and gravel, and a mounting bracket 7 for supporting the manhole cover. A brush disc 4 for scraping the surface of the manhole cover, a main shaft 2 for driving the brush disc 4 to revolve around the center of the housing 1, a drive box 3 for driving the brush disc 4 to rotate around its own center, and a sand groove 5 for collecting the fallen sand are provided in the housing 1. The housing 1 is a cylindrical structure with a cavity, and its opening faces upward. The fan 6 is installed at the bottom of the cavity in the housing 1. The mounting bracket 7 is arranged at the opening edge of the housing 1. The main shaft 2 is installed at the center of the housing 1. The drive box 3 surrounds the outside of one end of the main shaft 2 and is fixedly connected to the housing 1. The brush discs 4 are arranged in an array on the drive box 3 and their disc surfaces are in contact with the surface of the manhole cover. The sand groove 5 is arranged at the edge of the bottom of the cavity in the housing 1.
[0026] The device elastically supports the manhole cover through the mounting bracket 7. By hammering the surface on the upward side of the manhole cover, the gravel attached to the other side of the manhole cover falls into the cavity of the housing 1. At the same time, the brush disc 4 that can rotate both self - rotatably and revolvably is used to scrape the gaps and grooves 722 on the surface of the manhole cover to ensure that no gravel is embedded in the gaps and cannot fall off. The fan 6 can switch between two modes of blowing and suction. When removing gravel, the blowing mode is used to assist the brush disc 4 in cleaning the gravel. When the manhole cover is removed from the device, the suction mode is used to quickly absorb the floating dust in the cavity of the housing 1, avoiding the staff from inhaling a large amount of floating dust and endangering their health.
[0027] See Figure 5 As shown, the first motor 21 is installed at the bottom of the housing 1 and near one end of the main shaft 2. The tapered disc 22 is located in the transmission box 3 and is connected to the other end of the main shaft 2. The straight - wheel group 23 is arranged between the first motor 21 and the main shaft 2.
[0028] The first motor 21 provides power for the rotation of the main shaft 2, thus driving the brush disc 4 to revolve around the main shaft 2. The output transmission ratio of the first motor 21 is changed through the straight - wheel group 23 to control the rotation speed of the main shaft 2. The tapered disc 22 rotates with the main shaft 2 in the transmission box 3 to drive the self - rotation of the brush disc 4.
[0029] See Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the support arms 31 are array - mounted around the transmission box 3. The transmission shaft 32 is installed in the support arms 31. The bevel gear 33 is installed at one end of the transmission shaft 32 and is located in the transmission box 3.
[0030] The support arms 31 are used to protect the transmission shaft 32 from being impacted by the gravel falling on the surface of the manhole cover, thus affecting the normal power transmission. The bevel gear 33 meshes with the tapered disc 22 on the main shaft 2, so that the transmission shaft 32 is driven by the main shaft 2 and the direction of the force is changed.
[0031] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the disc surface of the brush disc 4 is connected with a rotating shaft 41. The protective shell 42 surrounds the outside of the rotating shaft 41. The tapered - wheel group 43 is arranged in the protective shell 42.
[0032] The rotating shaft 41 is driven by the transmission shaft 32 on the transmission box 3 to drive the self - rotation of the brush disc 4. The tapered - wheel group 43 is arranged at the connection between the transmission shaft 32 and the rotating shaft 41. The protective shell 42 is used to protect the tapered - wheel group 43 from being impacted by gravel.
[0033] See Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the ducts 61 are array - arranged in the bottom cavity of the housing 1. The fan 6 is installed in the ducts 61 and is connected to the second motor 62. The filter screen 63 is installed at the orifice of the ducts 61 and is located in the cavity of the housing 1.
[0034] The conduit 61 is used to install the fan 6. The second motor 62 supplies power for the rotation of the fan 6. The wind force of the fan 6 blows towards the surface of the manhole cover along the direction of the conduit 61, causing a large amount of gravel attached to the manhole cover to fall into the sand groove 5, facilitating the centralized treatment of the fallen sand. At the same time, the filter screen 63 is used to prevent the falling gravel from entering the conduit 61 and accumulating, which may affect the rotation of the fan 6.
[0035] See Figure 6 As shown, the top cover 633 surrounds the outside of the filter screen 63 and is rotatably connected to the pipe orifice of the conduit 61. The threaded interface 631 is arranged at the pipe orifice of the conduit 61, and the air holes 632 are arranged in an array on the side surface of the conduit 61.
[0036] Since the falling gravel will block the filter screen 63, the top cover 633 is provided for quickly installing and disassembling the filter screen 63, facilitating the dust cleaning and maintenance of the filter screen 63. At the same time, the air holes 632 are used to ensure the air pressure balance when the filter screen 63 is blocked. When the gravel covers the entire filter screen 63, the fan 6 operates in the air suction mode from the air holes 632.
[0037] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the gasket 71 is concentrically arranged with the mounting bracket 7. One end of the spring 72 is arranged at the top edge of the housing 1, and the other end is connected to the lower surface of the gasket 71.
[0038] Since it is necessary to hammer the manhole cover to shake off the gravel through vibration, the mounting bracket 7 supporting the manhole cover must be elastic to avoid damage to the device caused by continuous hammering. The spring 72 provides an elastic margin, and the gasket 71 is used to increase the contact area between the mounting bracket 7 and the manhole cover, thereby reducing the pressure and avoiding local hammering damage.
[0039] See Figure 3 As shown, the grooves 722 are arranged in an array on the top edge of the housing 1. The telescopic columns 721 are installed in the grooves 722 and are surrounded by the spring 72.
[0040] The telescopic columns 721 are used to prevent the spring 72 from falling off during hammering and enhance the connection strength between the gasket 71 and the mounting bracket 7. The grooves 722 are used to extend the telescopic amount of the telescopic columns 721, avoiding excessive pressure on the top of the telescopic columns 721 when the manhole cover drops significantly, resulting in local excessive pressure.
[0041] The above embodiments only represent one or several implementation manners of the present utility model. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model should be subject to the appended claims.
