Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of scrap steel recycling technology, and in particular to an automatic cleaning device for scrap steel transport compartments. Background Technology

[0002] In the scrap steel transportation sector, the cleaning and maintenance of transport truck compartments is crucial. For a long time, traditional scrap steel transport truck cleaning methods have relied primarily on manual sweeping. Workers must manually operate tools to remove impurities adhering to the inner walls and bottom of the compartment, including residual scrap steel debris, dust, oil stains, and various types of grime accumulated over long-term transportation. However, this manual cleaning method has several significant drawbacks. Firstly, manual cleaning is extremely inefficient. Due to the complex internal structure of the compartment and the varying difficulty of cleaning different areas, workers must spend a considerable amount of time meticulously cleaning every corner, resulting in a lengthy cleaning process that cannot meet the demands of large-scale, high-frequency scrap steel transportation operations for rapid compartment turnover. Secondly, manual cleaning is extremely labor-intensive. Workers spend long hours inside the compartment performing repetitive, high-intensity cleaning work, which not only easily leads to physical fatigue but also exposes them to poor working conditions, such as flying dust and the potential risk of slipping on oil, posing a threat to their health. Based on this, a cleaning device was designed that can automatically scrub the interior of the carriage, effectively removing various stubborn impurities. It is also equipped with a spray system to further rinse the carriage areas, greatly improving cleaning efficiency. Utility Model Content

A protective shell 809 is provided on one side of the transmission gear 811, and a protective sleeve 802 is provided on the outside of the second drive motor 803.

[0026] It should be noted that in the field of scrap iron and scrap steel resource utilization, the collected scrap iron usually needs to be transported, pre-treated, and then briquetteed. During this process, because the scrap iron has residual grease and impurities, they will adhere to the bottom of the car body, making manual cleaning tedious and difficult. Therefore, we designed an automatic cleaning device for scrap steel transport car bodies. A cleaning mechanism 6 is set on the upper part of the fixed frame 1. The first drive motor 601 rotates the two screws 605, thereby raising and lowering the lifting platform 801 set on the screws 605. Two cleaning rollers 808 are set at the bottom of the lifting platform 801. The cleaning rollers 808 peel off and clean the impurities inside the car body under the rotation of the cleaning rollers 808.

[0027] It should be noted that the cleaning roller 808 is made of steel brush material, which makes it easy to peel off the attached impurities. Moreover, both ends of the cleaning roller 808 are provided with a first gear 809 and a second gear 810, which are meshed with the transmission gear 811. The transmission gear 811 meshes with the drive gear 804 on the output shaft of the second drive motor 803 to form a transmission structure that drives the two cleaning rollers 808.

[0031] It should be noted that the spray mechanism 3 is designed to rinse away any remaining impurities after the carriage has been washed. The entire lifting bracket 302 is movably connected to the slide rod 305 on the connecting bracket 301 through the connecting holes on both sides, and can be raised and lowered under the drive of the upper hydraulic cylinder 309. The bottom of the lifting bracket 302 is equipped with a spray pipe 306, and the copper drum diversion pump diverts the water in the water tank 304 to rinse the carriage, improving the practicality of the equipment.

[0032] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the receiving base 2 is provided with several water-permeable grooves, and the receiving base 2 is located on the upper part of the water collection groove. Support platforms 7 are provided on both sides of the receiving base 2.

[0033] It should be noted that the receiving base 2 is used to support the transport trolley 5.
