Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cleaning device for tank trucks transporting hazardous waste. Background Technology

[0002] Hazardous waste disposal companies typically use tank trucks to transport large quantities of liquid hazardous waste. These tank trucks safely transport the liquid hazardous waste to the unloading area. During unloading, staff closely monitor the process to ensure the waste smoothly enters the tank area. After unloading, if any waste residue is found, manual cleaning is necessary to prevent environmental impact and subsequent treatment. Manual cleaning requires specialized operators wearing protective clothing. They must climb ladders to the top of the tanks and use atmospheric or even high-pressure water guns through manholes to thoroughly clean any remaining waste. During cleaning, operators strictly adhere to relevant safety operating procedures to ensure their own safety and environmental safety. This operation is highly dangerous and difficult, demanding significant physical strength and concentration from the operators, and carries risks such as falls from heights and contact with hazardous chemicals.

[0007] The high-pressure nozzle is installed at the lower end of the robot's forearm;

[0008] The control device includes a water pump, a monitoring camera, and a controller; the inlet of the water pump is connected to a water source, and the outlet of the water pump is connected to the inlet of the high-pressure nozzle via a hose passing sequentially through the robot's base, rear arm, and forearm; the monitoring camera is mounted on the robot's rear arm; the controller is connected to the pulley drive motor, the robot, the high-pressure nozzle, the water pump, and the monitoring camera via signal lines.

[0009] The aforementioned cleaning device for hazardous waste transport tank trucks includes a controller installed in a control cabinet, the door of which is equipped with a display screen and control switches; both the control cabinet and the water pump are located on the ground of the unloading platform.

[0010] The features of this utility model's cleaning device for hazardous waste transport tank trucks are:

[0011] 1. Reduce the time operators spend working at heights, keeping them on the ground most of the time to reduce the risk of falls.

[0012] 2. Replace manual labor with machinery to reduce the workload on workers;

[0013] 3. Reduce human contact with hazardous waste and mitigate its impact on the health of operators. Attached Figure Description

[0015] Figure 2 This is a side view of the cleaning device for hazardous waste transport tank trucks according to this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention relates to a cleaning device for tank trucks transporting hazardous waste, which is installed on an unloading platform and includes two guide rails 2, a robot, a high-pressure nozzle 4, and control equipment; wherein,

[0018] Two guide rails 2 are mounted one above the other on the front surface of a crossbeam 21, which spans between two columns 22 that support the roof of the unloading platform. The height of the crossbeam 21 is greater than the height of the manhole of the tank truck 1.

[0019] The robot includes a base 30, a rear arm 31, and a forearm 32. The base 30 is mounted between two guide rails 2 via at least a pair of active pulleys 3 and a pair of driven pulleys. A pulley drive motor is mounted on the active pulleys 3. The rear arm 31 is hinged to the base 30. The forearm 32 is hinged to the other end of the rear arm 31. The rear arm 31 is horizontally positioned, and the forearm 32 is vertically positioned and can be adjusted by swinging left and right at a small angle.

[0020] The high-pressure nozzle 4 is mounted on the lower end of the robot's forearm 32. The high-pressure nozzle 4 is telescopic and can rotate 360°.

[0021] The control equipment includes a water pump 5, a monitoring camera 6, and a controller. The inlet of the water pump 5 is connected to a water source, which is an industrial water pipeline within the factory. The outlet of the water pump 5 is connected to the inlet of the high-pressure nozzle 4 via a flexible hose 50, which passes sequentially through the robot's base 30, rear arm 31, and forearm 32. The monitoring camera 6 is mounted on the robot's rear arm 31. The controller is connected to the pulley drive motor, the robot, the high-pressure nozzle 4, the water pump 5, and the monitoring camera 6 via signal lines. The controller is installed in a control cabinet 7, and a display screen and control switches are mounted on the door of the control cabinet 7. The water pump 5 and the control cabinet 7 are located on the ground of the unloading platform.

[0022] This utility model discloses a cleaning device for hazardous waste transport tank trucks. When cleaning tank 1, the operator activates the robot's base 30 via a control switch on the door of the control cabinet 7, moving it along two guide rails 2 to above the manhole of the tank truck 1. Using the real-time image monitored by the surveillance camera 6 and displayed on the screen, the operator controls the robot to insert a high-pressure nozzle 4 into the manhole of the tank truck 1. The water pump 5 and the high-pressure nozzle 4 are then activated, allowing the nozzle 4 to automatically perform a 360° cleaning of the inside of the tank truck 1. The wastewater is collected through the unloading port of the tank truck 1. The operator can determine whether the tank truck 1 is clean by using the surveillance camera 6 or manual observation, and can stop or adjust the cleaning water pressure of the high-pressure nozzle 4. After cleaning is complete, the operator controls the cleaning equipment to be retracted to a safe position.
