[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model are described below.
[0022] This embodiment provides an airport runway cleaning device, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, the cleaning device includes a towing frame 1 and a FOD cleaning assembly 2 connected to the towing frame 1. The towing frame 1 is provided with a waste box 3. The FOD cleaning assembly 2 is movably connected to the towing frame 1 and includes a FOD cleaning mat 21. The FOD cleaning mat 21 is moved above the waste box 3 by means of the FOD cleaning assembly 2 being movably connected to the towing frame 1. The waste box 3 is used to receive debris shaken off from the FOD cleaning mat 21 above it.
[0023] The utility model discloses a traction frame 1 is provided with the waste box 3, and FOD cleaning assembly 2 is movably connected to the traction frame 1, when needing to shake off the sundries adhered on FOD cleaning blanket 21, the sundries is shaken off in the waste box 3 by moving FOD cleaning blanket 21 to the top of waste box 3, and the staff does not need to clean the sundries that shakes off second time, improves the efficiency of airport runway cleaning.
[0024] The traction frame 1 includes a fixed rod 11, a connecting rod 12 spanning the waste box 3, and two waste box mounting rods 13. The FOD cleaning assembly 2 is connected to the connecting rod 12 through a connecting structure 4. The FOD cleaning assembly 2 is switched at both ends of the connecting rod 12 under the driving of the connecting structure 4. When the FOD cleaning assembly 2 is located at the first end of the connecting rod 12, it is used for cleaning. When the FOD cleaning assembly 2 is located at the second end of the connecting rod 12, it is used for shaking off sundries. The connecting structure 4 includes a mounting seat 41 and a pin 42. The first end and the second end of the connecting rod 12 are respectively provided with mounting holes 121 for passing through the pin 42. The mounting seat 41 is detachably connected with the connecting rod 12 through the pin 121. The FOD cleaning assembly 2 is selectively located at the first end or the second end of the connecting rod 12 through the detachable connection between the mounting seat 41 and the connecting rod 12, so that the FOD cleaning assembly 2 is movably connected to the traction frame 1. In other embodiments, the FOD cleaning assembly 2 can also be detachably connected to the traction frame 1. That is, the FOD cleaning assembly 2 is detached from the first end of the connecting rod 12 through the detachable connection between the mounting seat 41 and the connecting rod 12. The staff holds the FOD cleaning assembly 2 above the waste box 3 to shake off the sundries.
[0025] In this embodiment, in order to better shake off the sundries adhered between the rubber scraper and the mesh cover of the FOD cleaning blanket 21, it is preferred to rotate the FOD cleaning blanket 21 to the vertical state to shake off the sundries. Specifically, the FOD cleaning assembly 2 further includes a positioning rod 22, one end of the positioning rod 22 is hinged to the mounting seat 41, and the other end of the positioning rod 22 is connected to the FOD cleaning blanket 21, so that the FOD cleaning blanket 21 can be rotated to the vertical state. That is, when the FOD cleaning assembly 2 is located at the second end of the connecting rod 12, the FOD cleaning blanket 21 can be rotated to the vertical state. Compared with the prior art, which only pulls one side of the FOD cleaning blanket 21 to a certain height to make the FOD cleaning blanket 21 shake off the sundries in the inclined state, the utility model rotates the FOD cleaning blanket 21 to the vertical state to shake off the sundries, which can make the sundries adhered between the rubber scraper and the mesh cover of the FOD cleaning blanket 21 more easily shaken off.
[0026] The traction frame 1 is further provided with a vertical rod 14, the lower end of the vertical rod 14 is fixedly installed through a mounting seat 15 fixedly arranged on the waste box mounting rod 13, and the upper end of the vertical rod 14 is detachably connected with the side of the FOD cleaning carpet 21 away from the positioning rod 22, so that the FOD cleaning carpet 21 can be in a suspended state when shaking off the sundries, reducing the workload of the staff holding the FOD cleaning carpet 21 for a long time. Specifically, the upper end of the vertical rod 14 is provided with an extension rod 15, and the side of the FOD cleaning carpet 21 away from the positioning rod 22 is provided with a rope sleeve 23, the rope sleeve 23 is used for hooking the end of the extension rod 15, so as to form the detachable connection between the FOD cleaning carpet 21 and the vertical rod 14. When the FOD cleaning carpet 21 is rotated through the positioning rod 22, the FOD cleaning carpet 21 is lifted at the same time, at this moment, the extension rod 15 is inserted into the rope sleeve 23, and the FOD cleaning carpet 21 is supported, so as to facilitate the staff to shake off the sundries between the rubber scraper and the mesh cover.
[0027] The two waste box mounting rods 13 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the connecting rod 12, and the two sides of the waste box 3 are respectively slidably installed on the waste box mounting rods 13. In order to realize the sliding installation of the waste box 3, the waste box mounting rod 13 is provided with a T-shaped groove 131, and the waste box 3 is provided with a T-shaped sliding rail 31, the T-shaped sliding rail 31 is matched with the T-shaped groove 131 in shape, so that the waste box 3 is slidably installed by means of the cooperation of the T-shaped sliding rail 31 and the T-shaped groove 131.
[0028] The width of the waste box 3 is greater than the width of the FOD cleaning carpet 21, so that the waste box 3 can accommodate as much sundries as possible shaken off by the FOD cleaning carpet 21, and prevent the sundries from being shaken onto the ground.
[0029] The fixed rod 11, the connecting rod 12 and the two waste box mounting rods 13 form a frame body, which mainly plays a connecting and fixing role for each structural part. Meanwhile, one end of the fixed rod 11 is connected with the towing vehicle, which is used to pull the FOD cleaning blanket 21 to clean the airport site. The waste box 3 is symmetrically mounted with the T-shaped slide rail 31 at the upper end, which is aligned with the T-shaped groove 131 opened on the two waste box mounting rods 13, so that the waste box 3 is located between the two waste box mounting rods 13. When the FOD cleaning blanket 21 is moved to the second end of the connecting rod 12 (i.e. the impurity removal position), the shaken impurities are collected. By using this impurity removal method, the shaken impurities can be concentrated and recycled without manual secondary cleaning, reducing the labor intensity of the workers. The waste box 3 is installed by the T-shaped slide rail 31 in a movable plug-in manner, which can be pulled out at any time in the later period, and the impurities in the waste box 3 can be concentrated and treated. The FOD cleaning blanket 21 is connected with the positioning rod 22 through the connecting block 24, and is hinged with the mounting seat 41 by using the positioning rod 22. After the FOD cleaning blanket 21 finishes cleaning the airport site, the pin 42 can be pulled out, and the mounting seat 41 with the positioning rod 22 is moved to the second end of the connecting rod 12. After the FOD cleaning blanket 21 is rotated by a certain angle through the positioning rod 22, the rubber scraper on the FOD cleaning blanket 21 is in a vertical state opposite to the rubber scraper (i.e. the FOD cleaning blanket 21 is rotated to be vertical), and the impurities between the rubber scraper and the mesh cover can be shaken off more easily by patting the FOD cleaning blanket 21.
[0030] The connecting rod 12 is provided with two mounting holes 121, and the connecting rod 12 is provided with a limiting seat 43 corresponding to the mounting hole 121. The mounting seat 41 is fixedly connected with the connecting rod 12 through the pin 42, and abuts against the limiting seat 43. The two mounting holes 121 opened on the connecting rod 12 correspond to two states of the FOD cleaning blanket 21. The mounting hole 121 away from the fixed rod 11 (i.e. the mounting hole 121 located at the first end of the connecting rod 12) is used to install the FOD cleaning assembly 2 through the mounting seat 41 and the pin 42, so that the FOD cleaning blanket 21 is in a state of cleaning the site. When the FOD cleaning assembly 2 is installed in the mounting hole 121 close to the fixed rod 11 (i.e. the mounting hole 121 located at the second end of the connecting rod 12) through the mounting seat 41, the FOD cleaning blanket 21 is in a state of cleaning the internal impurities.
[0031] In use, after the FOD cleaning carpet 21 finishes cleaning the airport runway, the FOD cleaning carpet 21 is moved from the first end to the second end of the connecting rod 12 through the mounting seat 41, and then the angle is adjusted through the hinge between the positioning rod 22 and the mounting seat 41, so that the FOD cleaning carpet 21 is hung on the telescopic rod 15 on the vertical rod 14 through the rope sleeve 23. At this moment, the staff can shake the FOD cleaning carpet 21 to shake off the sundries on the FOD cleaning carpet 21 to the inside of the waste box 3, so that the staff does not need to clean again due to the sundries falling on the place, and the sundries on the FOD cleaning carpet 21 can be cleaned more thoroughly, so that part of the sundries is not left in the net cover.
[0032] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
