[0024] To facilitate understanding of the present application, the present application is described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The accompanying drawings provide preferred embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described in this specification. Rather, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to provide a more thorough and comprehensive understanding of the disclosure of the present application.

[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in this specification are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the relevant listed items.

[0026] For the description of this application, the non-limiting Figure 1 The marks "front", "rear", "up", "down", "left" and "right" shown in the figure are used to facilitate understanding of the embodiment and are not intended to limit the present application. Among them, the front-to-back direction represents the longitudinal direction, the left-to-right direction represents the transverse direction, and the up-down direction represents the vertical direction.

[0027] Figures 1-9 An embodiment of a crawler soil cleaning device of the present application is shown, in which two cleaning devices are symmetrically arranged, and the spacing between the two cleaning devices is adapted to the spacing between the two crawlers. The cleaning device includes a first support frame 1, a second support frame 2, a driving mechanism 3, a rotating shaft 4 and a rotating wheel 5. The first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2 are longitudinally arranged, and the first support frame 1 is sleeved on the periphery of the second support frame 2. The driving mechanism 3 is arranged on the first support frame 1, and the driving mechanism 3 is connected to the rotating shaft 4 for driving the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The rotating shaft 4 is transversely arranged on the second support frame 2, and the rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the second support frame 2. The rotating wheel 5 is arranged on the rotating shaft 4 and moves with the rotating shaft 4.

[0028] In the present application, a tracked vehicle can be driven onto two symmetrically arranged cleaning devices, with the tracks on both sides corresponding to the cleaning devices on both sides. After the tracked vehicle drives onto the cleaning device, the drive mechanism 3 is started, and the drive mechanism 3 drives the rotating shaft 4 and the runner 5 on the rotating shaft 4 to rotate, and the runner 5 hits the track and the dirt on the track, thereby cleaning the dirt from the track. During the hitting process, the track and the runner 5 rotate simultaneously, thereby keeping the tracked vehicle on the cleaning device and fully cleaning the dirt on the track. After cleaning is completed, the rotating shaft 4 stops rotating, and the tracked vehicle can be driven out of the cleaning device. This can greatly improve the efficiency of cleaning the dirt on the track.

[0029] In some embodiments, as Figure 6As shown, a plurality of evenly distributed vibrators 6 are provided at the bottom of the second support frame 2. The vibrators 6 are used to vibrate the second support frame 2, so that the wheel 5 on the second support frame 2 vibrates along with the second support frame 2, thereby causing the wheel 5 to generate a vibration frequency, thereby being able to more efficiently remove the mud on the track.

[0030] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, the first support frame 1 includes a longitudinally arranged first base plate 11 and first side plates 12 vertically arranged on either side of the first base plate 11. The second support frame 2 includes a longitudinally arranged second base plate 21 and second side plates 22 on either side of the second base plate 21. The second side plates 22 include a supporting portion 221, an inclined portion 222, and a connecting portion 223, which are sequentially connected. The supporting portion 221 and the connecting portion 223 are vertically arranged, and the inclined portion 222 is connected between the supporting portion 221 and the connecting portion 223. The inclined portion 222 is horizontally arranged. The connecting portion 223 and the inclined portion 222, together with the first side plates 12, form a receiving cavity 224. Multiple evenly distributed elastic members 7 are disposed within the receiving cavity 224. The elastic members 7 can be compression springs or rubber that fills the receiving cavity 224. One end of the elastic member 7 is fixed to the first base plate 11, and the other end is fixed to the lower surface of the inclined portion 222. The elastic member 7 is elastic and is used to support the second support frame 2, allowing the second support frame 2 to float relative to the first support frame 1. As a result, when the second support frame 2 vibrates, it can float relative to the first support frame 1 to a certain extent, thereby avoiding hard contact between the first support frame 1 and the second support frame 2.

[0031] In some embodiments, as Figure 6 As shown, the elastic member 7 and the vibrator 6 are staggeredly arranged on the lower surface of the second bottom plate 21. This can ensure the stability of the support for the second support frame 2 and the stability of the vibration of the second support frame 2.

[0032] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, the inclined portion 222 is inclined adjacent to the end surface of the rotating shaft 4 , thereby preventing soil from accumulating on the inclined portion 222 and facilitating the soil to fall onto the upper surface of the second bottom plate 21 .

[0033] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the height of one side of the second bottom plate 21 in the longitudinal direction is higher than the height of the other side. As a result, the upper end surface of the second bottom plate 21 is inclined, which can facilitate the sliding of mud on the second bottom plate 21 and facilitate the cleaning of the mud.

[0034] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, the height of the inner first side plate 12 is greater than that of the outer first side plate 12 , thereby enabling the inner first side plate 12 to cover the periphery of the second side plate 22 , thereby limiting the second side plate 22 .

[0035] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, the width of the inner first side plate 12 is smaller than the width of the outer first side plate 12. Therefore, the driving mechanism 3 can be arranged at the upper end surface of the first side plate 12, which is convenient for maintenance of the driving mechanism 3.

[0036] The drive mechanism 3 can be a drive motor or hydraulic pump, etc., and can be connected to the rotating shaft 4 via a sprocket or belt, thereby driving the rotation of the rotating shaft 4. The ends of the rotating shaft 4 are disposed between the two second side plates 22, and are rotatably connected to the second side plates 22 via bearings. A plurality of rotating wheels 5 are mounted on the rotating shaft 4, and the rotating wheels 5 rotate with the rotating shaft 4. The rotating wheels 5 can be integral with the rotating shaft 4, or they can be detachably connected to the rotating shaft 4.

[0037] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 As shown, the runner 5 includes a central portion 51 and protruding portions 52. The central portion 51 is circular and connected to the rotating shaft 4. A plurality of protruding portions 52 are provided, evenly distributed around the periphery of the central portion 51. The number of protruding portions 52 can be two or three, and the protruding portions 52 are in a bad arc shape. The protruding portions 52 can adapt to the grooves on the crawler track to knock out the dirt in the grooves on the crawler track, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning quality of the dirt.

[0038] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 As shown, when the wheel 5 is detachably connected to the shaft 4, the wheel 5 is sleeved on the periphery of the shaft 4, and a plurality of connecting protrusions 41 protrude from the surface of the shaft 4. The wheel 5 has a center hole 53 that is adapted to the shaft 4, and connecting holes 54 that are adapted to the connecting protrusions 41 are provided on the periphery of the center hole 53.

[0039] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 As shown, there are at least four connecting protrusions 41 and connecting holes 54, so that the angle of the protrusion 52 of the rotating wheel 5 relative to the rotating shaft 4 can be flexibly adjusted as needed. The protrusion 52 is staggered with adjacent protrusions 52, so that the protrusion 52 on the rotating shaft 4 is not linear but curved, thereby improving the uniformity of soil cleaning.

[0040] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the wheels 5 on one shaft 4 are staggered with the wheels 5 on the adjacent shaft 4. The outer end faces of the wheels 5 are adjacent to the end faces of the adjacent shafts 4 without contacting them. This can reduce the spacing between the wheels 5 and further improve the efficiency of cleaning the soil.

[0041] In some embodiments, the length of the runners 5 is more than twice the length of the track. When the tracked vehicle travels on the runners 5, the entire track can be in contact with the runners 5, and the dirt on the track can be cleaned through the runners 5.

[0042] When the cleaning device is in use, both ends of the accommodating chamber 224 can be sealed and buried underground, so that the upper end surface of the runner 5 is flush with the ground, and the tracked vehicle can directly drive onto the cleaning device.

[0043] In some embodiments, the cleaning device can also be placed on the ground for use. In this case, a first ramp frame 8 and a second ramp frame 9 are respectively provided on both longitudinal sides of the cleaning device to assist the tracked vehicle in traveling onto the cleaning device. This can reduce the complexity of installing the cleaning device.

[0044] In some embodiments, as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, when the first and second ramp frames 8 and 9 are provided, the two ends of the accommodating chamber 224 can be closed by the first and second ramp frames 8 and 9. To facilitate the cleaning of the soil, the first ramp frame 8 is provided on the higher side of the second base plate 21, and the second ramp frame 9 is provided on the lower side of the second base plate 21. A plurality of water outlets 81 arranged side by side are provided on the first ramp frame 8. The water outlets 81 are adjacent to the second base plate 21 and are located directly above the second base plate 21. The length of the water outlets 81 arranged side by side is adapted to the width of the second base plate 21. The water outlets 81 are connected to water inlet pipes 82, which are connected to an external water source. A drain outlet 91 is provided on the second ramp frame 9. The drain outlet 91 is L-shaped. One end of the drain outlet 91 is adjacent to the second base plate 21 and is located directly below the second base plate 21. The other end of the drain outlet 91 is opened on the side of the second ramp frame 9. When cleaning the dirt on the second bottom plate 21, an external water source is connected through the water inlet pipe 82, and the water enters the second bottom plate 21 through the water outlet 81 to flush the dirt on the second bottom plate 21. The flushed dirt flows from the inclined surface of the second bottom plate 21 to the drain outlet 91 and is discharged from the drain outlet 91, thereby efficiently cleaning the dirt on the second bottom plate 21.

[0045] As can be seen from the above, the present application discloses a crawler soil cleaning device, which can drive a crawler vehicle onto two symmetrically arranged cleaning devices, with the crawlers on both sides corresponding to the cleaning devices on both sides respectively. After the crawler vehicle drives onto the cleaning device, the driving mechanism is started, and the driving mechanism drives the rotating shaft and the runner on the rotating shaft to rotate, and the runner hits the crawler and the soil on the crawler, thereby cleaning the soil from the crawler. During the hitting process, the crawler and the runner rotate at the same time, thereby keeping the crawler vehicle on the cleaning device and fully cleaning the soil on the crawler. After the cleaning is completed, the rotating shaft stops rotating, and the crawler vehicle can be driven out of the cleaning device. This can greatly improve the efficiency of cleaning the soil on the crawler.

[0046] The above are merely embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present application specification and drawings, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
