Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of architectural design, concretely relates to a through type car washing tank for mineral powder transport vehicle which is simple in structure, small in land occupation, water saving, convenient in sediment cleaning and safe in passing. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the mineral processing production of metal mines and non-metal mines, transport vehicles are widely used to transport mineral powder. Due to the leakage and falling of mineral powder during loading and transportation of vehicles, the mineral powder on the ground will adhere to the tires of the transport vehicles. If not cleaned in time, it will not only enter the key components such as braking system and bearing of the vehicle, increase the friction between components, but also cause loss of mineral powder, and the flying dust during the running of the wheels will cause air pollution in the mining area and the surrounding environment, harm the ecological environment and the health of residents. With the rapid development of social economy, the environmental protection situation is becoming increasingly severe. In order to reduce the impact of transport vehicles on the environment during running, each mining enterprise needs to carry out dust reduction treatment on the transport vehicles.

[0003] In the prior art, the cleaning of transport vehicles generally uses high-pressure water guns or spray systems to flush the surface of the wheels, which can effectively remove most of the dust, has good cleaning ability for stubbornly adhered dust, and is relatively simple to operate, easy to maintain, and has low technical requirements for operators. However, it consumes a large amount of water, the sewage after cleaning contains a large amount of dust, needs special treatment, otherwise it will cause secondary pollution, increase the cost and difficulty of sewage treatment. Therefore, there are also rotating brushes that contact the wheels, which can avoid the shortcomings of high-pressure water guns or spray systems by using the mechanical friction of the brushes to brush off the dust. However, the cleaning effect of dust in gaps and holes is not good, the brushes need to be replaced regularly, which increases the operating cost, and dust is generated during the cleaning process, which requires corresponding dust removal equipment, otherwise it will pollute the working environment. In addition, vacuum cleaning technology and chemical cleaning technology are also used, which has good cleaning effect, but due to the need for special equipment or chemical agents, the cleaning cost and later maintenance and treatment cost are high, and it is only suitable for vehicle tire cleaning in specific industries.

[0004] Currently, tire cleaning for mining transport vehicles mostly utilizes simple, low-maintenance, and low-cost washing troughs. These troughs are constructed by filling a flat-bottomed, V-shaped trough with clean water, through which the transport vehicle passes. The rolling wheels generate standing waves that carry away attached dust. Even any remaining debris is softened by soaking, facilitating further removal during subsequent cleaning. However, existing washing troughs suffer from drawbacks. Their flat and wide bottoms result in high water consumption. Furthermore, the wastewater collection tanks, designed to accommodate sedimentation, occupy significant space and require substantial subsequent sludge removal. Additionally, the steep slope of the trough creates a large height difference between the front and rear wheels, causing vehicles to nose-up and wheels to hang off the ground, severely impacting operational safety. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, the present invention provides a through-type car wash trough for transporting mineral powder vehicles, which has a simple structure, small footprint, saves water, facilitates the cleaning of sediment, and ensures safe passage.

[0006] This utility model relates to a through-type car wash trough for transporting mineral powder, implemented as follows: It includes a car wash trough ramp, a car wash trough bottom, a car wash trough flange, a sedimentation tank, a clear liquid collection tank, valve I, and a water pump. The car wash trough bottom is a straight strip with upward-sloping car wash trough ramps connected to both sides. The car wash trough bottom and the two side car wash trough ramps form a large obtuse-angle "V" shaped trough for mineral powder transport vehicles to pass through. The car wash trough flange securely seals one end of the car wash trough bottom and one end of the two side car wash trough ramps. The top of the car wash trough's flange is not lower than the highest point of the car wash trough ramp. The sedimentation tank is fixedly sealed at the bottom of the car wash trough, away from the car wash trough flange, and is interconnected with it through valve I. The clear liquid collection tank is located on one side of the sedimentation tank and is interconnected with it. The water pump's inlet extends into the clear liquid collection tank, and the water pump's outlet extends into the car wash pool formed by the car wash trough ramp, the bottom of the car wash trough, the car wash trough flange, and the sedimentation tank. A water supply pipe connected to the water supply system is also installed in the car wash pool.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom of the car wash pool and the ramps on both sides of the car wash pool form a "V" shaped groove of 160-175°, and the depth of the car wash pool is 0.4-0.8m.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the car wash trough is flat or C-shaped, and the bottom of the car wash trough is connected to the car wash trough ramps on both sides with rounded corners. The bottom of the sedimentation tank is lower than the lowest point of the bottom of the car wash trough, and the top of the sedimentation tank wall is higher than the highest point of the car wash trough ramp. The water inlet of pipe I connected to valve I is not higher than the bottom of the car wash trough.

[0009] Furthermore, the inlet of the pipe I is equipped with a bar screen, and the sedimentation tank has a water collection pit at the bottom of the tank near the inlet of the channel connecting to the clear liquid collection tank.

[0010] Furthermore, several anti-slip strips are fixedly installed at intervals on the car wash trough ramp.

[0011] Furthermore, the car wash trough ramp and the bottom of the car wash trough are both cast-in-place concrete structures, and the anti-slip strips are steel bars or steel strips cast in the concrete.

[0012] Furthermore, the sedimentation tank is connected to the clear liquid collection tank via pipe II, which is away from the outlet of valve I, and the inlet of the water pump extends into the clear liquid collection tank to the end away from the outlet of pipe II.

[0013] Furthermore, a baffle is installed between the outlet of valve I and the inlet of pipe II inside the sedimentation tank. The baffle is located at the top of the sedimentation tank and its bottom end is lower than the inlet of pipe II.

[0014] Furthermore, the wall of the clear liquid collection tank is also provided with a drain outlet, and the drain outlet is equipped with valve II.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. This utility model forms a large obtuse-angle "V" shaped groove by connecting the bottom of the car wash trough with the ramps on both sides of the car wash trough. This reduces the slope of the car wash trough ramps and the width of the bottom of the car wash trough, thereby reducing water consumption and effectively reducing the height difference between the front and rear wheels of the transport vehicle during the driving process. This eliminates the serious wheel-lifting and wheel-suspending phenomena that exist in traditional car wash troughs, and improves the safety of transport vehicles.

[0017] 2. This utility model adopts a closed-loop water circulation system technology solution of sedimentation tank-clarified liquid collection tank-water pump, combined with water supply pipe to supplement the water source, to achieve efficient reuse of cleaning water, which can effectively reduce water consumption. Compared with the existing technology, it does not have high-energy-consuming equipment or use chemical agents, which can reduce operation and maintenance costs. Moreover, the two-stage structure of sedimentation tank-clarified liquid collection tank has a smaller footprint than the traditional single V-shaped flat car wash trough solution. It can be set up in the factory to significantly reduce the occupation of the main functional space. The graded interception design in the sedimentation tank (grid filtration + baffle interception) can significantly improve the sedimentation efficiency of the sedimentation tank, so that most of the dust, impurities and oil are intercepted in the sedimentation tank. The clarified liquid collection tank only serves as a water storage tank. Therefore, the clarified liquid collection tank has a much smaller footprint than the collection tank of the existing car wash trough. The smaller sedimentation tank also makes it easier to clean the wastewater sediment. In addition, the graded interception design can also improve the impurity separation efficiency, further reducing the water consumption of cleaning.

[0018] 3. This utility model incorporates steel bars / steel strips embedded at intervals on the car wash trough ramp to prevent slippage. Combined with the slope design, this effectively enhances the friction of vehicle tires to prevent slippage, thereby further improving traffic efficiency.

[0019] In summary, this utility model, through structural innovation and system optimization, simultaneously overcomes the four major industry pain points of traditional car wash troughs: high water consumption, large footprint, low traffic efficiency, and numerous safety hazards. It is economical, safe, and environmentally friendly, and is suitable for wheel cleaning operations in various mineral powder transportation scenarios. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this does not limit the present invention in any way. Any changes or improvements made based on the teachings of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0024] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, this utility model includes a car wash trough ramp 1, a car wash trough bottom 2, a car wash trough flange 3, a sedimentation tank 4, a clear liquid collection tank 5, a valve I 6, and a water pump 7. The car wash trough bottom 2 is a strip-shaped straight bottom with inclined car wash trough ramps 1 connected to both sides. The car wash trough bottom 2 and the car wash trough ramps 1 on both sides form a large obtuse-angle "V" shaped trough for mineral powder transport vehicles to pass through. The car wash trough flange 3 fixes and seals one end of the car wash trough bottom 2 and one end of the car wash trough ramps 1 on both sides. The top of the car wash trough flange 3... The end is not lower than the highest point of the car wash trough ramp 1. The sedimentation tank 4 is fixedly sealed at the end of the car wash trough bottom 2 away from the car wash trough flange 3 and is connected to each other through valve I6. The clear liquid collection tank 5 is set on one side of the sedimentation tank 4 and is connected to each other. The inlet of the water pump 7 extends into the clear liquid collection tank 5. The outlet of the water pump 7 extends into the car wash pool formed by the car wash trough ramp 1, the car wash trough bottom 2, the car wash trough flange 3 and the sedimentation tank 4. The car wash pool is also equipped with a water supply pipe 8 connected to the water supply system.

[0025] The bottom 2 of the car wash pool and the ramps 1 on both sides form a "V" shaped groove of 160-175°, and the depth of the car wash pool is 0.4-0.8m. The necessary depth of the car wash pool can ensure that the water stored in it can soak the wheels to remove adhering mineral powder and soften mud and sand, which is convenient for subsequent washing of mud and sand from the wheels; while by reducing the slope of the ramps 1, the length of the straight section of the car wash pool can be reduced, thereby saving space and reducing water consumption, and ensuring that the front of the vehicle does not tilt up severely and the wheels do not hang in the air when the vehicle passes through the car wash pool.

[0026] The bottom of the car wash trough 2 is flat or C-shaped. The bottom of the car wash trough 2 is connected to the car wash trough ramps 1 on both sides with rounded corners. The bottom of the sedimentation tank 4 is lower than the lowest point of the bottom of the car wash trough 2. The top of the sedimentation tank 4 wall is higher than the highest point of the car wash trough ramp 1. The inlet of the pipe I9 connected to the valve I6 is not higher than the bottom of the car wash trough 2.

[0027] The inlet of the pipe I9 is ​​equipped with a bar screen, and the sedimentation tank 4 has a water collection pit 14 at the bottom of the tank near the entrance of the channel connecting to the clear liquid collection tank 5.

[0028] Several anti-slip strips 10 are fixedly installed at intervals on the car wash trough ramp 1.

[0029] Both the car wash trough ramp 1 and the car wash trough bottom 2 are cast-in-place concrete structures, and the anti-slip strip 10 is a steel bar or steel strip cast in the concrete. The cast-in-place concrete structure is easy to construct and has good strength, with sufficient load-bearing capacity to meet the driving requirements of mining transport vehicles.

[0030] The sedimentation tank 4 is connected to the clear liquid collection tank 5 through pipe II11, which is away from the outlet of valve I6. The inlet of the water pump 7 extends into the clear liquid collection tank 5 to the end away from the outlet of pipe II11.

[0031] A baffle 12 is also provided between the outlet of valve I6 and the inlet of pipe II11 in the sedimentation tank 4. The baffle 12 is located at the top of the sedimentation tank 4 and its bottom end is lower than the inlet of pipe II11.

[0032] The wall of the clear liquid collection tank 5 is also provided with a drain outlet 13, and a valve II is provided on the drain outlet 13.

[0033] The working principle and process of this utility model:

[0034] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, before operation, clean water is injected into the washing pool, which is formed by the washing trough ramp 1, the washing pool bottom 2, the washing trough flange 3, and the sedimentation tank 4, through the water supply pipe 8 to a predetermined depth. During operation, the mineral powder transport vehicle passes through the washing trough ramp 1 and the washing pool bottom 2. The standing waves generated by the vehicle's passage, combined with the anti-skid strips 10, clean the wheels, ensuring that all wheels of the vehicle roll and clean at least twice. This ensures that the mineral powder adhering to the wheels is removed and the remaining mud and sand are softened, facilitating further rinsing of the wheels. After cleaning one or more transport vehicles, valve I6 is opened to discharge the wastewater in the car wash trough into sedimentation tank 4. Large impurities are blocked by the screen in the car wash trough to prevent valve I6 from being difficult to open and close. Impurities and oil floating in the cleaning liquid entering sedimentation tank 4 are blocked by baffle 12. The powdered mineral particles in the mixture settle in sedimentation tank 4, and the supernatant is discharged into clear liquid collection tank 5 through pipe II11. Workers only need to manually clean the sedimentation tank 4 periodically to remove sludge and floating matter, thus reducing the workload. After closing valve I6, water pump 7 is turned on to pump the clear liquid in clear liquid collection tank 5 back into the car wash trough for reuse, improving the efficiency of clear liquid use. When cleaning clear liquid collection tank 5, valve II on drain outlet 13 can be opened to empty the liquid in the tank.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
