Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of building construction, in particular to a steel corrugated pipe culvert cleaning device. Background Art
[0002] Steel corrugated pipe, an innovative engineering material, has been widely used in recent years in infrastructure construction, including highways and railways. This tubular structure is cold-formed from carbon steel plates, featuring a unique corrugated cross-section. The pipe's surface undergoes a corrosion-resistant treatment to enhance its durability and longevity. Compared to traditional concrete culverts and small bridges, steel corrugated pipe, with its high strength and flexibility, significantly improves its adaptability to foundation deformation, effectively addressing culvert damage caused by uneven foundation settlement. Furthermore, steel corrugated pipe offers excellent construction characteristics, such as simple construction and easy on-site installation. These advantages have led to its widespread use in cold northern regions, effectively addressing the structural damage to bridges and culverts in these regions. Furthermore, its rapid assembly and short construction times have made it a crucial component in water supply and drainage systems, highway embankment drainage, and flood control in construction projects, significantly contributing to the longevity of roads. However, its practical application also presents challenges. Especially in areas with frequent rainfall and significant ground deformation, repeated erosion from rainfall and deformation of the external foundation often causes the ground surface at both ends of the steel corrugated pipe to rise above the culvert's internal elevation. This situation results in excessive sediment within the culvert, seriously impacting its drainage function and traffic capacity. Furthermore, after a period of drying and compaction, the sediment forms a relatively hard, compacted layer. Because the aperture of steel corrugated pipe culverts is typically less than 2 meters, small machinery cannot be used for culvert cleaning operations. Therefore, manual cleaning has become the primary method. However, because the sediment is often hard and difficult to remove, manual cleaning requires the use of traditional tools (such as pickaxes) for excavation. This is not only inefficient but also labor-intensive, making the cleaning process extremely difficult. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a steel corrugated pipe culvert cleaning device to solve the problems in the prior art of low efficiency, high labor intensity and difficulty in manual removal of sediments in steel corrugated pipe culverts due to the hard agglomeration of sediments.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned and other related purposes, the utility model provides a steel corrugated pipe culvert cleaning device, comprising a clamping drive member and a cleaning assembly;
[0005] The output end of the clamping drive is fixedly connected to the cleaning assembly and is used to drive the cleaning assembly to rotate axially;
[0006] The cleaning assembly includes a connecting rod, a drill bit and a scraper rod; one end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the clamping drive member, and the other end is fixedly connected to the drill bit; the scraper rod is obliquely fixed to the output end of the connecting rod and forms a conical crushing structure with the drill bit.
[0007] Optionally, the clamping drive member is a handheld electric drill and is fixedly connected with a transverse auxiliary handle.
[0008] Optionally, the connecting end of the auxiliary handle is fixedly connected to a clamping ring, and is detachably connected to the clamping drive member through the clamping ring.
[0009] Optionally, the drill bit is a diamond-shaped drill bit made of alloy material.
[0010] Optionally, the drill bit is a conical brick head made of alloy material, and a thread groove is provided on the conical surface.
[0011] Optionally, the head end of the scraper rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the connecting rod; the tail end of the scraper rod is fixedly connected to a supporting fixing ring, and is fixedly connected to the middle end of the connecting rod through the supporting fixing ring.
[0012] Optionally, there are three scraping rods, which are evenly distributed along the circumference of the supporting fixing ring.
[0013] Optionally, the scraping rod is a triangular iron, and one side wall of the scraping rod is fixed perpendicular to the conical surface.
[0014] As described above, the utility model of a steel corrugated pipe culvert cleaning device has at least the following beneficial effects:
[0015] The utility model splits the cleaning device into a clamping drive member and a cleaning component, and the separate design of the clamping drive member and the cleaning component allows the two to be easily disassembled when maintenance or replacement is required; the connecting rod installed inside the cleaning component not only firmly connects the output end of the clamping drive member to ensure the stability of power transmission, but also forms a hollow conical crushing structure through the fixedly connected drill bit and scraper rod. The drill bit initially penetrates and crushes large pieces of sediment, while the scraper rod further refines the crushing effect. The synergistic effect of the two greatly improves the crushing efficiency; the clamping drive member drives the cleaning component to rotate axially, which improves the cleaning efficiency of sediment agglomerates compared to the traditional manual cleaning method using a pickaxe, and simplifies the cleaning work that originally required high-intensity manual operation or relied on bulky tools, which not only reduces the physical burden of the operator, but also shortens the cleaning cycle, effectively reducing labor intensity and labor costs.
[0016] The utility model designs the clamping fixing part into a handheld electric drill, so that construction workers can directly utilize the portability and high power characteristics of the electric drill to efficiently clean the sediment. By adding an auxiliary handle to the clamping drive part, an additional support point is provided for the construction workers. The construction workers can hold the electric drill handle and the auxiliary handle with both hands respectively. The two-handed holding method enhances the stability of the operation, and the construction workers can more effectively control the direction and force of the electric drill, avoiding accidental injuries caused by sliding of the electric drill. The drill bit made of alloy material can easily cope with the cleaning tasks of various sediment agglomerates with its high hardness and wear resistance. The alloy drill bit is not only not easy to be damaged, but also can maintain long-term sharpness, thereby ensuring the efficiency and smoothness of the cleaning process. The scraper is designed into a triangular iron shape, and one side wall of which is fixed perpendicular to the conical surface, which not only increases the crushing radius, but also ensures that the other side wall is closely fitted with the supporting fixing ring, thereby enhancing the stability and durability of the structure, and avoiding the loosening or deformation problems that may occur due to long-term use.
