Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of arch bridge suspender maintenance technology, specifically to a cleaning mechanism for arch bridge suspenders. Background Technology

[0002] Arch bridge suspender maintenance refers to the upkeep and repair of the suspenders in an arch bridge to ensure their normal operation and extend their service life. For newly installed arch bridge suspenders, special attention must be paid to cleaning any cement particles or dust that may be present on the surface. These impurities not only affect the aesthetics but can also cause corrosion and damage to the suspenders. Therefore, maintenance personnel need to use professional cleaning tools and methods to thoroughly remove dirt from the suspender surface and perform necessary anti-corrosion treatments.

[0003] The cleaning of installed arch bridge suspenders must be carried out with care. First, use a soft brush or high-pressure air gun to gently blow away any attached cement particles and dust from the suspender surface. For stubborn stains that are difficult to remove, a specialized cleaning agent can be used, but care must be taken to avoid corroding the suspender material. After cleaning, wipe the suspenders dry with a clean cloth or paper towel to ensure the surface is completely dry and to prevent moisture residue from causing rust. The entire process must be gentle and meticulous to avoid damaging the suspender structure and to ensure the overall safety and aesthetics of the arch bridge.

[0004] The shortcomings of existing technical solutions are that, because the suspenders are usually located at a high position on the arch bridge and are numerous, the cleaning work often requires a large amount of manual labor. This not only increases labor costs but may also lead to low work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning mechanism for arch bridge suspenders, addressing the problem that in existing technologies, the suspenders are typically located at high positions on arch bridges and are numerous, often requiring extensive manual labor for cleaning. This not only increases labor costs but may also lead to low work efficiency.

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A cleaning mechanism for arch bridge suspenders includes a back plate, on which at least two sets of first notched annular plates are fixedly connected. Each set of first notched annular plates has a notch on one side. Each set of first notched annular plates is equipped with a hydraulic locking mechanism for pressing against the suspender. A cleaning mechanism for cleaning the suspender is provided above the back plate. A moving mechanism for moving the back plate along the suspender is provided on the back plate.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a second notched annular plate is fixedly connected to the back plate, and the cleaning mechanism is configured to cooperate on the second notched annular plate. The cleaning mechanism includes two sets of mutually cooperating components. Each set of cooperating components includes a semi-annular connecting plate that is configured to cooperate on the second notched annular plate. A semi-annular absorbent sponge is fixedly connected to the inner side of each set of semi-annular connecting plates. A semi-annular cleaning sponge is fixedly connected to the inner side of each set of absorbent sponges. A semi-annular shovel tooth is fixedly connected to the upper end of each set of absorbent sponges and the side closest to the cleaning sponge.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the back plate is provided with a drive mechanism for rotating the cleaning mechanism. The drive mechanism includes a first motor fixedly connected to the back plate, a drive wheel fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor, and a notched annular driven wheel rotatably fitted on the second notched annular plate. Each set of semi-annular connecting plates is bolted to the notched annular driven wheel, and the notched annular driven wheel cooperates with the drive wheel.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the hydraulic locking mechanism includes multiple sets of pressure-blocking components arranged around the inner side of the first notch annular plate and an infusion component for infusing fluid into the pressure-blocking components. Each set of pressure-blocking components includes a first hydraulic telescopic rod fixedly connected to the inner side of the first notch annular plate. The telescopic end of the first hydraulic telescopic rod is rotatably connected to a limit wheel. The infusion component includes a buffer box fixedly connected to the back plate. An infusion interface is fixedly connected to the buffer box, and an infusion tube is fixedly connected to the buffer box. Each set of first hydraulic telescopic rods is connected to the infusion tube.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the moving mechanism includes a second hydraulic telescopic rod fixedly connected to the back plate, the second hydraulic telescopic rod being connected to the infusion tube, a U-shaped plate being fixedly connected to the output end of the second hydraulic telescopic rod, a pressure wheel being rotatably connected to the inner side of the U-shaped plate, a second motor being fixedly connected to the outer side of the U-shaped plate, and the output end of the second motor being coaxially fixedly connected to the pressure wheel.

[0012] As a further aspect of this utility model: the cross-sectional radius of the pressure rollers is larger towards the sides, and the outer side of the pressure rollers is wrapped with a rubber layer.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. After being installed on the boom, this utility model allows two sets of semi-annular connecting plates to be sequentially inserted into the notched annular driven wheel and connected and fixed with bolts. Starting the first motor drives the driving wheel to rotate reciprocally, which in turn drives the notched annular driven wheel to rotate reciprocally. The notched annular driven wheel then drives the semi-annular connecting plates to rotate reciprocally, thereby causing the cleaning sponge and shovel teeth to rotate reciprocally along the boom surface, achieving cleaning of the boom surface. The second motor drives the pressure wheel to rotate along the boom surface, thus moving the device along the boom, allowing the cleaning sponge and shovel teeth to clean other parts of the boom, thereby reducing labor costs and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0015] 2. When using this utility model, the absorbent sponge can store a certain amount of water to moisten the cleaning sponge, thereby improving the cleaning effect. Alternatively, anti-corrosion oil can be poured onto the absorbent sponge and the cleaning sponge. During the cleaning process, the cleaning sponge can directly apply the anti-corrosion oil to the surface of the rod, thereby ensuring the service life of the rod.

[0016] 3. When using this utility model, if it is necessary to install this device on the boom to be cleaned, the boom can be installed into the first notch annular plate through the notch, and then high-pressure hydraulic oil is injected into the infusion port, so that the hydraulic oil transmits pressure to the first hydraulic telescopic rod after passing through the infusion pipe, so that all the first hydraulic telescopic rods push the corresponding limit wheels to squeeze the boom around, thereby achieving the effect of installing the device on the boom.

[0022] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a cleaning mechanism for arch bridge suspenders includes a back plate 1. Two sets of first notched annular plates 2 are fixedly connected to the back plate 1. Each set of first notched annular plates 2 has a notch 3 on one side. When cleaning the suspenders, the suspenders can be inserted into the first notched annular plate 2 through the notch 3. A cleaning mechanism 7 for cleaning the suspenders is provided above the back plate 1. Each set of first notched annular plates 2 is equipped with a hydraulic locking mechanism 4 for pressing the suspenders. The hydraulic locking mechanism 4 includes multiple sets of pressing components arranged around the inner side of the first notched annular plates 2 and a liquid infusion component for infusing the pressing components. Each pressing component includes a first hydraulic telescopic rod 404 fixedly connected to the inner side of the first notched annular plate 2. The telescopic end of the first hydraulic telescopic rod 404 is rotatably connected to a limit wheel 405. The infusion assembly includes a buffer box 402 fixedly connected to a back plate 1. An infusion interface 401 is fixedly connected to the buffer box 402, and a valve is installed on the infusion interface 401. An infusion tube 403 is fixedly connected to the buffer box 402, and each set of first hydraulic telescopic rods 404 is connected to the infusion tube 403. When it is necessary to install this device on a boom to be cleaned, the boom can be installed into the first notch annular plate 2 through the notch 3. Then, high-pressure hydraulic oil is injected into the infusion interface 401, so that the hydraulic oil transmits pressure to the first hydraulic telescopic rods 404 after passing through the infusion tube 403. This causes all the first hydraulic telescopic rods 404 to push the corresponding limit wheel 405 to circumferentially compress the boom, thereby achieving the effect of installing the device on the boom.

[0024] To improve the cleaning effect, a second notched annular plate 5 and a drive mechanism 6 cooperating with the cleaning mechanism 7 are fixedly connected to the back plate 1. The drive mechanism 6 includes a first motor 601 fixedly connected to the back plate 1, and a drive wheel 602 fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 601. A notched annular driven wheel 603 is rotatably engaged on the second notched annular plate 5. The notched annular driven wheel 603 cooperates with the drive wheel 602, and the drive wheel 602 can drive the notched annular driven wheel 603 to rotate. The first motor 601 can drive the drive wheel 602 to reciprocate, and the drive wheel 602 drives the notched annular driven wheel 603 to reciprocate, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning mechanism 7 on the boom.

[0025] To clean the boom, the cleaning mechanism 7 includes two sets of cooperating components. Each set of components includes a semi-annular connecting plate 701 bolted to the notched annular driven wheel 603. A semi-annular absorbent sponge 702 is fixedly connected to the inner side of each set of semi-annular connecting plates 701. A semi-annular cleaning sponge 704 is fixedly connected to the inner side of each set of absorbent sponges 702. The cleaning sponge 704 is used to wipe the surface of the boom. A semi-annular shovel tooth 703 is fixedly connected to the upper end of each set of absorbent sponges 702 and to the side near the cleaning sponge 704. The shovel tooth 703 is responsible for cleaning cement or hard particles from the surface of the boom. After the device is installed on the boom, the two sets of semi-annular connecting plates 701 can be sequentially inserted into the notched annular driven wheel 603 and connected and fixed with bolts. Start the first motor 601, which drives the notched annular driven wheel 603 and the semi-annular connecting plates 701 to rotate back and forth, thereby driving the cleaning sponge 704 and the scraper teeth 703 to rotate back and forth along the surface of the boom, thus cleaning the surface of the boom. The water-absorbing sponge 702 can store a certain amount of water to wet the cleaning sponge 704, thereby improving the cleaning effect. Anti-corrosion oil can also be poured on the water-absorbing sponge 702 and the cleaning sponge 704. During the cleaning process, the cleaning sponge 704 can directly apply the anti-corrosion oil to the surface of the boom, thereby ensuring the service life of the boom.

[0026] To achieve the effect of the device moving along the boom, a moving mechanism 8 is provided on the back plate 1 to drive the back plate 1 to move along the boom. The moving mechanism 8 includes a second hydraulic telescopic rod 803 fixedly connected to the back plate 1. The second hydraulic telescopic rod 803 is connected to the infusion pipe 403, so as to facilitate the control of the extension state of the second hydraulic telescopic rod 803. A U-shaped plate 804 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second hydraulic telescopic rod 803. A pressure roller 802 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the U-shaped plate 804. The cross-sectional radius of the pressure roller 802 is larger as it moves towards both sides, and the shape of the pressure roller 802 matches the boom, thereby increasing the contact surface between the pressure roller 802 and the boom. The outer side of the pressure roller 802 is wrapped with a rubber layer to improve the friction between the pressure roller 802 and the boom. A second motor 801 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the U-shaped plate 804. The output end of the second motor 801 is coaxially fixedly connected to the pressure roller 802. After hydraulic oil is injected into the infusion port 401, the second hydraulic telescopic rod 803 extends, pushing the U-shaped plate 804 to move. The U-shaped plate 804 drives the pressure roller 802 to squeeze the boom. The pressure roller 802 is wrapped with a rubber layer on the outside, thus ensuring a strong friction between the pressure roller 802 and the boom. During cleaning, the second motor 801 can be started. The second motor 801 drives the pressure roller 802 to rotate along the surface of the boom, thereby moving the device along the boom. This allows the cleaning sponge 704 and the shovel teeth 703 to clean other parts of the boom. The second motor 801 can achieve forward and reverse rotation, making it easy to retrieve the device that has climbed to the top of the boom.

[0027] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this solution by those skilled in the art, the working principle of the embodiments of this solution will now be explained in conjunction with specific application scenarios:

[0028] When it is necessary to install this device on the boom to be cleaned, the boom can be installed into the first notch annular plate 2 through the notch 3. Then, high-pressure hydraulic oil is injected into the infusion port 401, so that the hydraulic oil transmits pressure to the first hydraulic telescopic rod 404 and the second hydraulic telescopic rod 803 after passing through the infusion pipe 403. This causes all the first hydraulic telescopic rods 404 to push the corresponding limit wheel 405 to squeeze the boom around, thereby achieving the effect of installing the device on the boom.

[0029] After installing this device onto the boom, the two sets of semi-annular connecting plates 701 can be sequentially inserted into the notched annular driven wheel 603 and connected and fixed with bolts. Starting the first motor 601 drives the driving wheel 602 to rotate reciprocally. The driving wheel 602 drives the notched annular driven wheel 603 to rotate reciprocally, which in turn drives the semi-annular connecting plates 701 to rotate reciprocally. This, in turn, causes the cleaning sponge 704 and the scraper teeth 703 to rotate reciprocally along the boom surface, thus cleaning the boom surface. The absorbent sponge 702 can store a certain amount of water to moisten the cleaning sponge 704, thereby improving the cleaning effect. Anti-corrosion oil can also be poured onto the absorbent sponge 702 and the cleaning sponge 704. During the cleaning process, the cleaning sponge 704 can directly apply the anti-corrosion oil to the boom surface, thus ensuring the service life of the boom.

[0030] After hydraulic oil is injected into the infusion port 401, the second hydraulic telescopic rod 803 extends, pushing the U-shaped plate 804 to move. The U-shaped plate 804 drives the pressure roller 802 to squeeze the boom. The pressure roller 802 is wrapped with a rubber layer on the outside, thus ensuring a strong friction between the pressure roller 802 and the boom. During cleaning, the second motor 801 can be started. The second motor 801 drives the pressure roller 802 to rotate along the surface of the boom, thereby moving the device along the boom. This allows the cleaning sponge 704 and the shovel teeth 703 to clean other parts of the boom. The second motor 801 can achieve forward and reverse rotation, making it easy to retrieve the device that has climbed to the top of the boom.

[0031] The above description provides a detailed account of one embodiment of the present invention. However, this description is merely a preferred embodiment and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. All equivalent variations and improvements made within the scope of the claims of the present invention should still fall within the patent coverage of the present invention.
