Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of deck washing equipment, and in particular relates to a deck washing device. Background Technology
[0002] Because offshore oilfield operations are conducted in the open, windy, and humid environment, the decks of offshore platforms are often dirty and require frequent washing. However, direct seawater washing can easily cause deck corrosion, so freshwater washing is used. But freshwater resources are scarce at sea, requiring a large amount of freshwater to clean the deck effectively. To use less freshwater for washing, and given the relatively low pressure of freshwater on the platform, pressurization is necessary. Using high-pressure washers or air compressors requires electricity, increasing equipment costs. Currently, existing equipment utilizes the platform's own freshwater and air sources to pressurize the freshwater for higher washing efficiency. This equipment uses compressed air to propel freshwater through nozzles, but its practical use is unsatisfactory, and the wiring is messy and inconvenient to handle. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned problems in the prior art and proposes a deck washing device.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:
[0005] A deck washing device includes two parallel and vertically arranged connecting pipes. The front end of the upper connecting pipe is connected to the middle interface of a tee connector, and the end is connected to a fresh water source. The front end of the lower connecting pipe is connected to a right-angle adapter, and the end is connected to an air source. The other end of the right-angle adapter is connected to the first port of the tee connector, and a nozzle is connected to the second port of the tee connector. Each connecting pipe is fixedly fitted with a connecting ring. A slide rail is connected between the upper sides of the two connecting rings, and the connecting rings can move along the slide rail. A positioning pin is also fixed between the two connecting rings, and the slide rail and the positioning pin are fixed together. A handle is fixedly attached to the upper side of the slide rail.
[0006] Furthermore, the nozzle has a flat, duckbill-shaped nozzle structure.
[0007] Furthermore, each connecting pipe is provided with an integrally formed annular limiting platform. The connecting ring is sleeved on the connecting pipe, with one end abutting against the limiting platform and the other end abutting against the limiting nut. The limiting nut is screwed onto the outside of the connecting pipe.
[0008] Furthermore, each connecting ring is vertically fixed with a T-shaped connecting block that mates with the slide rail, and the connecting block is connected to the bottom of the slide rail. The positioning pin passes through two connecting blocks, and the positioning cap of the positioning pin is pressed against the outside of one of the connecting blocks. The end of the positioning pin is screwed with a positioning nut, and the positioning nut is pressed against the outside of the other connecting block. The slide rail and the positioning pin are fixed together by a bolt and nut pair.
[0009] Furthermore, each connecting block has a positioning nut screwed onto the positioning pin on its inner side.
[0010] Furthermore, a through hole is provided in the middle of the positioning pin, and a through groove is provided at the bottom of the positioning pin corresponding to the through hole. The bottom of the through groove is set as a flat structure. A countersunk hole is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the slide rail.

[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0026] As shown in the figure, a deck washing device includes two parallel and vertically arranged connecting pipes 1. The front end of the upper connecting pipe 1 is connected to the middle interface of a tee connector 2, and the end is connected to a fresh water source. The front end of the lower connecting pipe 1 is connected to a right-angle adapter 3, and the end is connected to an air source. The other end of the right-angle adapter 3 is connected to the first port of the tee connector 2. A nozzle 6 is connected to the second port of the tee connector 2. A connecting ring 7 is fixedly sleeved on each connecting pipe 1. A slide rail 8 is connected between the upper sides of the two connecting rings 7, and the connecting rings 7 can move along the slide rail 8. A positioning pin 10 is also fixed between the two connecting rings 7, and the slide rail 8 and the positioning pin 10 are fixed together. A handle 9 is fixedly attached to the upper side of the slide rail 8. In this embodiment, the connecting pipes 1 for the fresh water source and the air source are arranged on the same side, making the overall structure more regular. The two connecting pipes 1 are connected to the bottom of the slide rail 8 by connecting rings 7, and the two connecting rings 7 are fixed together by positioning pins 10. The slide rail 8 and the positioning pins 10 are also fixed together to ensure that the connecting rings 7 are fixed at the bottom of the slide rail 8. This makes the device more stable when holding the handle 9. The connecting pipe 1 for the fresh water source is located above the connecting pipe 1 for the air source. Each connecting pipe 1 is equipped with a switch valve (not shown in the figure). When in use, after holding the handle 9, the switch valve is opened, and fresh water and air flow outward. The air pushes the fresh water out of the nozzle 6, increasing the pressure of the fresh water spray, which can make the deck washing more efficient. In this embodiment, the connecting rings 7 are designed to move along the slide rail 8. They are fixed after being adjusted to the correct position, which can be used for different distances between the two connecting pipes 1, making them more adaptable.
[0027] Nozzle 6 has a flat, duckbill-shaped structure, which achieves the effect of outlet pressurization when water is sprayed out from nozzle 6.
[0028] Each connecting pipe 1 is provided with an integrally formed annular limiting platform 101. A connecting ring 7 is sleeved on the connecting pipe 1, with one end abutting against the limiting platform 101 and the other end abutting against the limiting nut 12, which is screwed onto the outside of the connecting pipe 1. In this embodiment, a rubber sleeve is also provided between the connecting ring 7 and the connecting pipe 1 to effectively reduce friction between them. The connecting ring 7 is positioned along the length of the connecting pipe 1 by the limiting platform 101 and the limiting nut 12.
[0029] Each connecting ring 7 is vertically fixed with a T-shaped connecting block 701 that mates with the slide rail 8. The connecting block 701 is connected to the bottom of the slide rail 8. The positioning pin 10 passes through the two connecting blocks 701, and the positioning cap of the positioning pin 10 is pressed against the outside of one of the connecting blocks 701. The end of the positioning pin 10 is screwed with a positioning nut 14, and the positioning nut 14 is pressed against the outside of the other connecting block 701. In this way, the two connecting rings 7 are positioned in the circumferential direction. The slide rail 8 and the positioning pin 10 are fixed together by a bolt and nut pair 11. This design can ensure that the two connecting blocks 701 will not move again after they have moved into place in the slide rail 8.
[0030] Each connecting block 701 has a positioning nut 14 screwed onto the positioning pin 10 on its inner side, which further strengthens the fixation between the two connecting blocks 701.
[0031] A through hole is provided in the middle of the positioning pin 10, and a through groove 1001 is provided at the bottom of the positioning pin 10 corresponding to the through hole. The bottom of the through groove 1001 is set as a flat structure. A countersunk hole 801 is provided in the middle of the upper surface of the slide rail 8. The slide rail 8 and the positioning pin 10 are fixed together by the engagement of the bolt and nut pair 11 with the countersunk hole 801 and the through hole. In this embodiment, the through groove 1001 is provided to more firmly install the nut of the bolt and nut pair 11 by means of its flat bottom structure.
[0032] There are two handles 9, which are located on the upper side of the slide rail 8, and the distance between the two handles 9 is greater than the width of the countersunk hole 801 to ensure that the bolts of the bolt and nut pair 11 can be installed smoothly. In this embodiment, the handles 9 are welded and fixed to the slide rail 8.
[0033] The nozzle 6 and the tee connector 2 are connected together by a quick connector 13.
[0034] The upper connecting pipe 1 is connected to a water pipe 4 via a quick connector 13, and the end of the water pipe 4 is connected to a freshwater source. The lower connecting pipe 1 is connected to an air pipe 5 via a quick connector 13, and the end of the air pipe 5 is connected to an air source. In this embodiment, both the freshwater and air sources are provided by the offshore platform. Air and freshwater pipelines are distributed throughout the offshore platform. The upper connecting pipe 1 can obtain a freshwater source by directly connecting to the freshwater pipeline on the offshore platform via the water pipe 4. Similarly, the lower connecting pipe 1 can obtain an air source by directly connecting to the air pipeline on the offshore platform via the air pipe 5.
[0035] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:
[0036] When installing the handle 9 on the connecting pipe 1, adjust the distance between the two connecting blocks 701 on the slide rail 8 according to the distance between the two connecting pipes 1. After the adjustment is in place, use the positioning pin 10 and positioning nut 14 to fix the connecting block 701, thereby fixing the connecting ring 7. Then, use the bolt and nut pair 11 to fix the slide rail 8 and the positioning pin 10 together, thereby fixing the connecting block 701 and the slide rail 8.
[0037] When in use, hold handle 9 and then open the switch valve. The fresh water and air brought by the offshore platform flow out through nozzle 6. The fresh water is pressurized by air at nozzle 6 and sprayed forward, which effectively improves the rinsing efficiency and saves fresh water resources without the need for an additional air compressor or high-pressure cleaner.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
