Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of self-cleaning technology for engineering machinery and equipment, specifically to a self-cleaning concrete torpedo tank. Background Technology

[0002] A torpedo canister is a container used to transport concrete materials, and it is named for its resemblance to a torpedo.

[0003] Torpedo canisters are typically used for short-distance concrete transport. They are transported to designated locations using overhead cranes or other means of transport within concrete plants or on construction sites. Because of the short transport distance and time, there is no need to install a mixing mechanism inside the torpedo canister to extend the concrete's setting time. After completing its concrete transport mission, the torpedo canister needs to be cleaned promptly for use in the next concrete transport mission.

[0004] After a torpedo canister completes its concrete transport mission, a small amount of concrete residue remains on its inner wall. If not cleaned promptly, this residue can corrode or cause other damage, reducing its service life. Currently, cleaning torpedo canisters still requires manual labor. However, due to the large size of torpedo canisters, manual cleaning is inefficient, yields poor results, and is also somewhat dangerous. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a concrete torpedo canister with a self-cleaning function. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the technical problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a self-cleaning concrete torpedo tank that can realize automatic flipping and automatic cleaning functions, and has high cleaning efficiency and good cleaning effect.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A self-cleaning concrete torpedo tank includes a tank body assembly, a cleaning assembly, a one-way tilting assembly, and a transmission assembly. The tank body assembly includes a tank body and a cover plate, wherein the tank body is placed horizontally and has an opening at the top, and the cover plate is detachably installed at the opening. The transmission assembly includes a drive shaft and a motor. The drive shaft passes through the central axis of the tank body and is connected to the tank body through a one-way tilting mechanism. The motor drives the drive shaft. The cleaning assembly is located inside the tank body assembly and includes a cleaning arm and a nozzle. The cleaning arm is fixed on the drive shaft, and the nozzle is located on the inner wall of the cover plate. There are two sets of one-way tilting assemblies, which are respectively located on both sides outside the tank body for one-way tilting of the tank body assembly.

[0008] Furthermore, there are two cleaning arms, which are symmetrically arranged around the drive shaft, and both ends of the cleaning arms are fixed to the drive shaft. The shape of the cleaning arms corresponds to the shape of the inner wall of the tank assembly, and the cleaning arms are "C" shaped.

[0009] Furthermore, a brush is provided on the outside of the cleaning arm, with the brush closely attached to the inner wall of the tank assembly.

[0010] Furthermore, the one-way flipping assembly includes a ratchet mechanism and multiple support arms; wherein the ratchet mechanism includes an inner ratchet and a spring pawl; the inner ratchet is fixed to one side outside the can body by the multiple support arms, and the inner ratchet is coaxially arranged with the drive shaft, and the top shape of the spring pawl corresponds to the ratchet tooth structure of the inner ratchet.

[0011] Furthermore, the motor is a reversible motor, driving the transmission shaft to rotate forward or in reverse.

[0012] Furthermore, the cleaning components also include an external water pump, which is connected to the nozzle via a pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, there are multiple nozzles, each with a different water outlet angle, used to evenly spray water to various locations inside the tank assembly.

[0014] Furthermore, valves are installed on the pipeline.

[0015] Furthermore, the inner wall of the tank assembly has a hydrophobic coating.

[0016] Furthermore, the transmission assembly also includes a speed reducer, through which the motor and the drive shaft are connected.

[0017] In summary, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. This utility model, by setting up a cleaning component and a one-way flipping component, enables the torpedo canister to have self-cleaning and self-flipping functions. On the one hand, it improves cleaning efficiency and has a good cleaning effect, greatly reducing labor costs; on the other hand, it can automatically unload materials and pour out the sewage in the torpedo canister after the cleaning process is completed, further improving cleaning efficiency.

[0019] 2. This utility model uses a forward and reverse motor to drive the transmission shaft to rotate in both directions. On the one hand, the transmission shaft can drive the ratchet so that the torpedo canister can rotate on its own. On the other hand, the rotation of the transmission shaft in another direction can drive the cleaning arm in the cleaning component to rotate and remove the residual concrete residue on the inner wall of the canister without causing the torpedo canister to rotate. This makes the two functions independent and do not affect each other.

[0020] 3. The shape of the cleaning arm is set to correspond to the shape of the inner wall structure of the tank assembly, so that when the cleaning arm rotates with the drive shaft, it can scrape off the residual concrete residue on the inner wall of the tank assembly, and the brush can further clean the inner wall of the tank, resulting in a good cleaning effect.

[0021] 4. Set up multiple nozzles and adjust the water outlet angle of each nozzle to a different angle so that the nozzles can spray water evenly to all parts of the tank assembly, and clean the inside of the tank assembly without dead angles.

[0022] 5. The cover is detachably installed at the opening of the tank. The cover is removed before the one-way tilting component flips the tank. When the tank is inverted by the one-way tilting component, the material can be unloaded or the sewage can be poured out.

[0023] 6. The reducer can increase the output torque, enabling the drive shaft to smoothly drive the one-way tilting component to tilt the tank body. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0037] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a self-cleaning concrete torpedo tank includes a tank body assembly, a cleaning assembly, a one-way tilting assembly, and a transmission assembly. The tank body assembly includes a tank body and a cover plate, wherein the tank body is placed horizontally and has an opening at the top, and the cover plate is detachably installed at the opening. The transmission assembly includes a drive shaft and a motor. The drive shaft passes through the central axis of the tank body and is connected to the tank body through a one-way tilting mechanism. The motor is used to drive the drive shaft. The cleaning assembly is located inside the tank body assembly and includes a cleaning arm and a nozzle. The cleaning arm is fixed on the drive shaft, and the nozzle is located on the inner wall of the cover plate. There are two sets of one-way tilting assemblies, which are respectively located on both sides outside the tank body for one-way tilting of the tank body.

[0038] Specifically, this utility model is equipped with a cleaning arm and a nozzle inside the tank assembly, which can clean the concrete residue remaining inside the tank assembly and achieve a self-cleaning function. By setting two sets of one-way tilting components outside the tank body, the drive shaft is connected to the tank body through the one-way tilting components. The drive shaft is driven by a motor to rotate, so that the tank body can be tilted and poured through the one-way tilting mechanism to achieve the function of automatic tilting unloading or pouring sewage.

[0039] like Figure 2-4 As shown, there are two cleaning arms, symmetrically arranged around the drive shaft, with both ends of the cleaning arms fixed to the drive shaft. The shape of the cleaning arms corresponds to the shape of the inner wall of the tank assembly, and the cleaning arms are "C" shaped. Brushes are provided on the outer side of the cleaning arms, and the brushes are in close contact with the inner wall of the tank assembly.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, the cleaning assembly also includes an external water pump, which is connected to the nozzles via pipes. Valves are installed on the pipes. There are multiple nozzles, each with a different water outlet angle, used to evenly spray water to various locations inside the tank assembly.

[0041] In this embodiment, the shape of the tank body and the cover plate of the tank assembly is similar to that of a "torpedo". The overall shape is ellipsoidal. The shape of the cleaning arm corresponds to the shape of the inner wall of the tank assembly. The cleaning arm is "C" shaped, and the shape of the two cleaning arms combined is elliptical, which corresponds to the shape and structure inside the tank assembly.

[0042] Specifically, the cleaning arm is driven by a drive shaft and can rotate inside the tank assembly. Since the shape of the cleaning arm corresponds to the shape and structure inside the tank assembly, when the cleaning arm rotates, it can scrape off the residual concrete residue on the inner wall of the tank assembly, and the brush can clean it, resulting in high cleaning efficiency and good effect.

[0043] There are multiple nozzles installed on the inner wall of the cover. Each nozzle has a different water spray angle, which can spray water to clean all parts of the inner wall of the tank assembly, ensuring thorough cleaning without any blind spots.

[0044] The cover is detachably installed at the opening of the tank. When the tank needs to be tilted, the cover is removed, and then the drive shaft drives the one-way tilting assembly to tilt the tank to pour concrete or spray the sewage left after cleaning.

[0045] like Figure 6-7 As shown, the one-way flipping assembly includes a ratchet mechanism and multiple support arms; wherein the ratchet mechanism includes an inner ratchet and a spring pawl; the inner ratchet is fixed to one side outside the can body by multiple support arms, and the inner ratchet is coaxially arranged with the drive shaft, and the top shape of the spring pawl corresponds to the ratchet tooth structure of the inner ratchet.

[0046] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the motor is a reversible motor, driving the drive shaft to rotate forward or in reverse. The transmission assembly also includes a reducer, through which the motor and the drive shaft are connected.

[0047] Specifically, the spring pawl is existing technology. In this embodiment, the spring pawl includes a spring sleeve, a spring, and a pawl. The bottom of the spring sleeve is fixed on the drive shaft. The spring is located in the spring sleeve and is placed along the sleeve direction. The pawl is connected to the top of the spring. The bottom part of the pawl is located inside the sleeve. The shape of the top of the pawl corresponds to the shape of the ratchet teeth of the inner ratchet.

[0048] The motor drives the transmission shaft to rotate forward or backward. When the motor rotates forward, the spring in the spring pawl is compressed, the ratchet mechanism does not rotate, and the transmission shaft drives the cleaning arm to rotate in the other direction, thereby cleaning the inside of the tank assembly. When the motor rotates backward, it drives the ratchet mechanism to rotate, thereby causing the tank to flip as well. At this time, the cleaning arm also rotates with the transmission shaft and the tank.

[0049] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the tank assembly has a hydrophobic coating. In summary, this invention, by incorporating a one-way flipping component, a cleaning component, and a transmission component, enables the tank assembly to have automatic flipping and automatic cleaning functions. When the transmission shaft rotates in one direction, the one-way flipping component flips the tank body, at which point the cleaning arm also rotates with the transmission shaft and the tank body. When rotating in the other direction, the tank body does not rotate, but the cleaning arm is driven to clean the interior of the tank assembly. This results in high cleaning efficiency and good cleaning effect, effectively reducing labor costs.

[0050] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
