Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quality maintenance technology for shaft parts, and in particular to a device for cleaning and inspecting shaft parts. Background Technology

[0002] Hydraulic gate hoists are key actuators for opening and closing gates in hydropower stations, and their operational status directly affects the safe and stable operation of the station. However, in actual operation, the maintenance of hydraulic gate hoist piston rods faces numerous challenges. For example, some gates are kept closed for extended periods, causing the hydraulic gate hoist piston rods to remain exposed, making them highly susceptible to dust accumulation. Furthermore, oil seepage from the lower end cover of the hoist, combined with dust, easily forms sludge. These contaminants not only affect the appearance of the piston rod but also pose potential hazards to its quality and subsequent operation, such as accelerating wear and corrosion, affecting sealing performance, and ultimately leading to hydraulic system failure.

[0003] Meanwhile, in existing technologies, the extension length of the piston rod of a hydraulic gate hoist can reach approximately 11 meters. However, the operating area of ​​the piston rod lacks a dedicated inspection and observation platform, which greatly inconveniences maintenance personnel during daily inspections and cleaning. Maintenance personnel typically have to stand on top of the gate and use binoculars for long-distance observation, but due to the dim ambient light, it is difficult to clearly identify local defects on the piston rod surface, posing a significant safety hazard.

[0004] In summary, existing technologies for maintaining hydraulic gate hoist piston rods suffer from difficulties in cleaning and outdated testing methods, making it challenging to effectively ensure the operational safety and service life of the piston rod. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution that can effectively address these issues, enabling the cleaning and testing of hydraulic gate hoist piston rods and ensuring the safe and stable operation of hydropower stations.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0020] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of this utility model embodiment in conjunction with shaft-type parts.

[0021] In the above figures: shaft part 10, support frame 1, support part 11, first support member 111, connecting rod 112, fixing member 113, second support member 114, limiting part 115, scraping mechanism 2, scraping part 21, driving mechanism 3, power output part 31, driving part 32, force receiving part 321, traveling wheel 322, detection mechanism 4, pipeline 5. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed account of the device for cleaning and inspecting shaft-type parts.

[0024] For convenience, the direction extending along a shaft-like part is referred to as "axial" or similar term, the direction perpendicular to the "axial" direction is referred to as "radial" or similar term, the direction closer to the shaft-like part in the "radial" direction is referred to as "radial inward" or similar term, and the direction farther away from the shaft-like part in the "radial" direction is referred to as "radial outward" or similar term.

[0025] like Figure 1As shown, one embodiment of this utility model provides a device for cleaning and inspecting shaft-type parts, including a support frame 1 sleeved on the shaft-type part 10. The support frame 1 is configured to move along a path formed by the shaft-type part 10. Simultaneously, a scraping mechanism 2 is optionally provided on the support frame 1. The inner diameter of the scraping mechanism 2 is configured to be approximately equal to the outer diameter of the shaft-type part 10, so that the scraping mechanism 2 can be fitted snugly onto the shaft-type part 10, thereby enabling the shaft-type part 10 to be cleaned by scraping.

[0026] In this configuration, such as Figure 1 As shown, when it is necessary to clean the surface of the shaft part 10, the support frame 1 can be sleeved on the shaft part 10, and the scraping mechanism 2 can be installed on the support frame 1, so that the radial inner side of the scraping mechanism 2 is in close contact with the shaft part 10.

[0027] At this time, a force is applied to the support frame 1 along the axial direction of the shaft part 10, thereby driving the support frame 1 to move along the path formed by the shaft part 10. During this process, the support frame 1 will drive the scraping mechanism 2 located on the support frame 1 to move together along the path formed by the shaft part 10. In this way, the scraping mechanism 2 will continuously scrape the shaft part 10. Thus, the cleaning of the surface of the shaft part 10 is completed.

[0028] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device for cleaning and inspecting shaft-type parts further includes a drive mechanism 3. In this embodiment, the drive mechanism 3 is configured to drive the support frame 1 to move along the path formed by the shaft-type parts 10. In this way, the support frame 1 can move stably along the path formed by the shaft-type parts 10, thereby driving the scraping mechanism 2 located on the support frame 1 to stably clean the shaft-type parts 10 by scraping.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the drive mechanism 3 includes a power output unit 31 and a drive unit 32 connected to the support frame 1. In this configuration, when the support frame 1 needs to move along the shaft-like part 10, the power output unit 31 can continuously transmit force to the drive unit 32. This allows the drive unit 32 to continuously drive the support frame 1 to move along the shaft-like part, thereby causing the scraping mechanism 2 located on the support frame 1 to stably clean the shaft-like part 10 by scraping.

[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the device for cleaning and inspecting shaft parts also includes an inspection mechanism 4 mounted on the support frame 1. The inspection mechanism 4 is used to photograph the shaft parts 10 after they have been wiped by the scraping mechanism 2, and transmit the photographed data back to the terminal (not shown in the figure). In this way, the operator can determine whether the shaft parts 10 are damaged after analyzing the images on the terminal.

[0031] In this configuration, such as Figure 1 As shown, when it is necessary to clean the surface of the shaft part 10, the support frame 1 can be sleeved on the shaft part 10, and the scraping mechanism 2 can be installed on the support frame 1, such that the radially inner side of the scraping mechanism 2 is in close contact with the shaft part 10. At the same time, the power output part 31 and the drive part 32 are connected together, and the drive part 32 is connected to the support frame 1. Thus, the assembly of this device is completed.

[0032] Then, the power output unit 31 is activated, enabling it to continuously transmit force to the drive unit 32. At this time, the drive unit 32 drives the support frame 1 to move along the path formed by the shaft-like parts 10. During this process, the support frame 1 drives the scraping mechanism 2 located on the support frame 1 to move along the path formed by the shaft-like parts 10. In this manner, the scraping mechanism 2 continuously scrapes the shaft-like parts 10. Thus, the surface cleaning of the shaft-like parts 10 is completed.

[0033] After cleaning the surface of the shaft part 10 is completed, the scraping mechanism 2 is detached from the support frame 1. Simultaneously, the detection mechanism 4 is activated. The detection mechanism 4 then continuously moves along the path formed by the shaft part 10 on the support frame 1, continuously photographing the shaft part 10 after being scraped by the scraping mechanism 2. The detection mechanism 4 also continuously transmits the photographed data back to a terminal (not shown in the figure). In this way, the operator can determine whether the shaft part 10 is damaged after analyzing the images on the terminal. This completes the inspection of the shaft part 10.

[0034] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support frame 1 is formed by at least two support parts 11. In this embodiment, four support parts 11 are provided, and the four support parts 11 are detachably connected together to form a cavity for accommodating the scraping mechanism 2. In this way, the support frame 1 can be detachably fitted onto the shaft part 10. This increases the convenience of using the device.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the scraping mechanism 2 is formed by at least two scraping parts 21, allowing each scraping part 21 to be snapped into the support frame. In this embodiment, four scraping parts 21 are provided, and the four scraping parts 21 are detachably connected together to form a cavity for accommodating the shaft part 10. In this way, the scraping mechanism 2 can be selectively fitted onto the shaft part 10. This further increases the convenience of using the device.

[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support portion 11 includes a first support member 111, on which a connecting rod 112 is provided, the connecting rod 112 extending axially. Meanwhile, a fixing member 113 is provided at the free end of the connecting rod 112.

[0037] In addition, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support part 11 also includes a second support part 114 disposed opposite to the first support part 111. The first support part 111 and the second support part 114 are used together to form a space for placing the scraping part 21.

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the support part 11 also includes a limiting part 115, which is detachably sleeved on the second support member 114 to connect two adjacent second support members 114 together, and at the same time limit the scraping part 21 located on the first support member 111 and the second support member 114, so that the radial inner side of the scraping part 21 can be stably attached to the shaft part 10.

[0039] In this configuration, such as Figure 1 As shown, when it is necessary to install the scraper 21 on the support frame 1 and clean the shaft part 10, firstly, each of the first support members 111 is surrounded on the shaft part 10, and the radial inner side of the scraper 21 is fitted to the shaft part 10, so that the end of the scraper 21 is engaged with the first support member 111.

[0040] Then, each of the second support members 114 is fitted onto the shaft part 10, and the second support member 114 abuts against the scraping part 21 located on the shaft part 10. At the same time, the limiting part 115 is fitted onto the second support member 114, and the second support members 114 are connected together by the limiting part 115.

[0041] Finally, the fixing member 113, which is connected to the first support member 111, is connected to the limiting part 115. In this way, the support frame 1 and the scraping mechanism 2 can be stably fitted onto the shaft part 10.

[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the drive unit 32 includes a force-receiving part 321 that abuts against the fixing member 113, and at least one traveling wheel 322 disposed on the force-receiving part 321. The rim of the traveling wheel 322 is configured to abut against the shaft-like part 10. In this way, when the force-receiving part 321 is subjected to a force, the force-receiving part 321 can drive the traveling wheel 322 to move stably along the path formed by the shaft-like part 10, thereby causing the support frame 1 to move stably.

[0043] According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, four wheels 322 are arranged in pairs opposite each other on the force-bearing part 321. In this way, the support frame 1 can be further actuated to move along the path formed by the shaft-like parts 10.

[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the power output unit 31 is configured as an air pump. Meanwhile, the force receiving unit 321 is configured as a housing. In this embodiment, the power output unit 31 and the force receiving unit 321 are interconnected via a pipe 5, and an air outlet (not shown in the figure) is provided on the force receiving unit 321. The air output volume of the air outlet is set to be less than the air intake volume of the force receiving unit 321.

[0045] In this way, when it is necessary to drive the force-receiving part 321 to move, the power output part 31 continuously blows or inhales air toward the force-receiving part 321 to drive the force-receiving part 321 to move.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the detection mechanism 4 is configured as a camera, and the camera is positioned on the second support member 114, allowing the camera to always shoot toward the shaft part 10.

[0047] The operation of the device for cleaning and inspecting shaft parts according to this utility model is as follows.

[0048] First, each of the first support members 111 is surrounded on the shaft part 10, and the radial inner side of the scraping part 21 is fitted to the shaft part 10, such that the end of the scraping part 21 abuts against the first support member 111.

[0049] Simultaneously, each of the second support members 114 is sleeved on the shaft part 10, and the second support member 114 abuts against the scraping part 21 located on the shaft part 10. At the same time, the limiting part 115 is sleeved on the second support member 114, and the second support members 114 are connected together by the limiting part 115.

[0050] Next, the fixing member 113, which is connected to the first support member 111, is connected to the limiting part 115. In this way, the support frame 1 and the scraping mechanism 2 can be stably fitted onto the shaft part 10.

[0051] Then, the force-receiving part 321 and the fixing member 113 are brought together, and the rim of the traveling wheel 322 located on the force-receiving part 321 is brought together with the shaft part 10. At the same time, the force-receiving part 321 and the power output part 31 are connected together through the pipe 5, so that the power output part 31 can output force toward the force-receiving part 321.

[0052] Furthermore, the detection mechanism 4 is mounted on the second support 114, and the imaging direction of the detection mechanism 4 is always directed toward the shaft part 10. This completes the assembly of the device.

[0053] When it is necessary to clean the surface of the shaft part 10, the power output unit 31 is activated, and the power output unit 31 continuously blows or inhales air towards the force receiving unit 321 through the pipe. At this time, the force on the force receiving unit 321 is transmitted to the traveling wheel 322 located on the force receiving unit 321, causing the traveling wheel 322 to continuously move along the path formed by the shaft part 10. During this process, the scraping part 21 located between the first support member 111 and the second support member 114 continuously cleans the shaft part 10 by scraping. At the same time, the above operation is repeated, so that the device reciprocates on the shaft part 10, thereby performing multiple cleaning operations on the shaft part 10 until the shaft part 10 is clean.

[0054] After cleaning the surface of the shaft part 10 is completed, the scraper 21 is detached from the first support 111 and the second support 114. Simultaneously, the detection mechanism 4 is activated. The detection mechanism 4 then continuously moves along the path formed by the shaft part 10 on the support frame 1, continuously photographing the shaft part 10 after it has been scraped by the scraper 2. The detection mechanism 4 also continuously transmits the photographed data back to a terminal (not shown in the figure). In this way, the operator can determine whether the shaft part 10 is damaged after analyzing the images on the terminal. Thus, the inspection of the shaft part 10 is completed.

[0055] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
