Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of hydropower equipment, and specifically relates to an air-filling component for hydropower equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Hydropower equipment is a systematic device that uses the kinetic or potential energy of water to generate electricity. In some hydropower systems, such as float-type hydropower equipment, the buoyancy of the float needs to be adjusted by inflating it to adapt to different water level changes and power generation needs.

[0003] In existing hydroelectric power equipment inflation technology, the common practice is to connect the power generation equipment to an inflation device that includes a motor and fan blades. However, to protect the motor from damage from the external environment, existing inflation devices have the motor built into the device and are equipped with a screen to filter out impurities in the air. After prolonged use, a large amount of dust and impurities easily accumulate on the screen, causing it to become clogged. This not only affects the inflation effect but may also negatively impact the motor's heat dissipation, thereby reducing the overall efficiency of the inflation device. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an air-inflating component for hydropower generation equipment, which solves the problem that in the prior art, a large amount of dust and impurities easily accumulate on the screen plate, causing the screen plate to be blocked. This not only affects the air-inflating effect, but may also have a negative impact on the heat dissipation of the motor, thereby reducing the overall efficiency of the air-inflating device. Therefore, an air-inflating component for hydropower generation equipment is proposed.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] An air-filled assembly for hydroelectric power generation equipment includes an air-filled chamber, a pair of handles fixedly connected to the air-filled chamber, a mounting base configured in a communicating manner on the air-filled chamber, a screen plate provided on the mounting base, a support plate fixedly connected inside the air-filled chamber, a rotating rod rotatably connected to the support plate, and an air intake fan fixedly connected to the outer wall end face of the rotating rod.

[0007] The air chamber is equipped with a drive mechanism for driving the rotating rod to rotate, and the rotating rod is equipped with a scraping mechanism for preventing the screen plate from clogging and for scraping off dust.

[0008] Preferably, the rotating rod extends horizontally through the sieve plate, and the rotating rod and the sieve plate are movably connected.

[0009] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a motor fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inflatable chamber, a bevel gear one fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a bevel gear two meshing with the bevel gear one, and the bevel gear two fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod.

[0010] Preferably, the scraping mechanism includes a mounting ring disposed outside the air chamber, a rectangular plate fixedly connected to the mounting ring, a triangular scraper fixedly connected to the rectangular plate, the triangular end of the triangular scraper being in contact with the sieve plate, and both the mounting ring and the rectangular plate being sleeved on the rotating rod.

[0011] Preferably, the mounting ring and the rotating rod are threadedly connected by the same bolt, and a matching nut is threadedly connected to the bolt.

[0012] Preferably, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the mounting base, and the connecting plate and the air chamber are threadedly connected by the same bolt.

[0013] Preferably, the sieve plate is fixedly connected with a connecting lug, and the connecting lug and the mounting base are threadedly connected by the same bolt.

[0014] Preferably, the inflation chamber has a ventilation hole on the side wall away from the mounting base.

[0015] The present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0016] This invention, through the configuration of a drive mechanism and a scraping mechanism, uses the rotation of the rotating rod under the action of the motor to convert the rotation of the air intake fan into air intake, while simultaneously driving the triangular scraper to scrape away dust and impurities on the screen plate, effectively preventing screen plate blockage. This not only provides effective protection for the motor and air intake fan, but also filters the air entering the inflation chamber, ensuring a smooth and efficient inflation process.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] Preferred solutions include Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an air-inflating assembly for hydroelectric power generation equipment includes an air-inflating chamber 1. A pair of handles 2 are fixedly connected to the air-inflating chamber 1, facilitating the handling of the entire equipment. A mounting base 3 is connected to the air-inflating chamber 1, and a sieve plate 4 is provided on the mounting base 3. The sieve plate 4 not only protects the motor 7 from dust accumulation that could affect its operation, but also ensures the cleanliness of the subsequent air intake fan 6 and filters the air entering the air-inflating chamber 1, ensuring a smooth and efficient inflation process. A support plate 19 is fixedly connected inside the air-inflating chamber 1, and a rotating rod 5 is rotatably connected to the support plate 19. An air intake fan 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall end face of the rotating rod 5; the air intake fan 6 is responsible for introducing air into the air-inflating chamber 1.

[0023] The air chamber 1 is equipped with a drive mechanism for driving the rotating rod 5 to rotate, and the rotating rod 5 is equipped with a scraping mechanism for preventing the screen plate 4 from clogging and for scraping off dust.

[0024] The rotating rod 5 horizontally passes through the screen plate 4, and the rotating rod 5 and the screen plate 4 are movably connected. This design ensures that the rotating rod 5 can rotate smoothly without hindering the assembly and disassembly of the screen plate 4.

[0025] The drive mechanism includes a motor 7 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air chamber 1. A bevel gear 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 7. A bevel gear 9 meshes with the bevel gear 8 and is fixedly sleeved on the rotating rod 5. As the motor 7 operates, it drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate stably, thereby driving the intake fan 6 to work.

[0026] The scraping mechanism includes a mounting ring 10 disposed outside the air chamber 1. A rectangular plate 11 is fixedly connected to the mounting ring 10, and a triangular scraper 12 is fixedly connected to the rectangular plate 11. The triangular end of the triangular scraper 12 is in contact with the screen plate 4, and the contact configuration ensures that the triangular scraper 12 scrapes away the dust on the screen plate 4. Both the mounting ring 10 and the rectangular plate 11 are sleeved on the rotating rod 5.

[0027] The mounting ring 10 and the rotating rod 5 are threaded together by the same bolt 13, and a matching nut is threaded onto bolt 13. The configuration of bolt 13 facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the rectangular plate 11 and the triangular scraper 12 by the workers for maintenance and upkeep.

[0028] A connecting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 3, and the connecting plate 14 and the air chamber 1 are threadedly connected by the same bolt 15. The configuration of bolt 15 facilitates the removal of the mounting base 3 to maintain the motor 7 and the air intake fan 6 inside the air chamber 1.

[0029] A connecting lug 16 is fixedly connected to the screen plate 4, and the connecting lug 16 and the mounting base 3 are threadedly connected by the same bolt 17. The bolt 17 is configured to facilitate the disassembly of the screen plate 4 for cleaning.

[0030] A vent 18 is provided on the side wall of the inflation chamber 1 away from the mounting base 3. The vent 18 is used to connect with the hydroelectric power generation equipment for inflation operations.

[0031] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:

[0032] During use, staff first use a pair of handles 2 fixedly connected to the air chamber 1 to easily lift and place the entire device, and connect the air vent 18 to the hydroelectric power generation equipment that needs to be inflated.

[0033] When the motor 7 is started, the output end of the motor 7 drives the first bevel gear 8 to rotate, which in turn causes the second bevel gear 9 to rotate through meshing. The rotating rod 5 will also rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 5 drives the air intake fan 6 fixed on the outer wall end face to work, introducing air into the inflation chamber 1.

[0034] During the inflation process, as the rotating rod 5 rotates, the triangular scraper 12 in the scraping mechanism adheres closely to the surface of the screen plate 4, effectively scraping away the dust and impurities accumulated on the screen plate 4, preventing the screen plate 4 from clogging and keeping the air intake fan 6 clean.

[0035] When maintenance or upkeep of the inflatable components is required, workers can remove the rectangular plate 11 and the triangular scraper 12 by sequentially turning bolt 13 and bolt 17.

[0036] The above embodiments are merely preferred technical solutions of this utility model and should not be considered as limitations on this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model should be the technical solution described in the claims, including equivalent substitutions of the technical features described in the claims. That is, equivalent substitutions and improvements within this scope are also within the protection scope of this utility model.
