Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vacuum cleaner technology, and more specifically, to a towable vacuum cleaner. Background Technology

[0002] In many industrial plants, production processes generate large amounts of dust, debris, and other contaminants. If this dust and contaminants are not cleaned promptly, they can damage production equipment and affect production efficiency, thus necessitating the use of vacuum cleaners. However, existing vacuum cleaners have fixed dust collection bins, making cleaning and dust packing inconvenient. Manual operation is complex and labor-intensive. Furthermore, in modern working environments, vacuum cleaners cannot adapt to various complex road conditions and site conditions, lacking good steering and following performance, and cannot move flexibly back and forth. Therefore, we propose a towed vacuum cleaner. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0015] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0016] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0017] Example

[0018] Please refer to the accompanying drawings. In this embodiment of the invention, a towable vacuum cleaner includes a frame 1 and a tow frame fixed to the front end of the frame. A negative pressure generating device 2 is installed at the top of the frame 1. A filter dust collection bin 3 is installed at the rear end of the negative pressure generating device 2 via a lifting mechanism. The tow frame 9 includes an upper connecting frame 9 and a lower connecting frame 11. The upper connecting frame 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of one side of the frame 1. The upper connecting frame 9 and the lower connecting frame 11 are rotatably connected via a steering wheel 10. An A-shaped movable frame 12 is installed on the front side of the lower connecting frame 11. A fixing sleeve 13 is fixedly installed in the middle of the movable frame 12. An inner shaft 14 is coaxially rotatably arranged inside the fixing sleeve 13. A universal wheel 15 is installed at the bottom end of the inner shaft 14 to support the triangular movable frame 12. A rod is inserted through the front end of the movable frame 12. The lifting mechanism includes two fixed seats 1 5 and two fixed seats 2 5 respectively fixedly mounted on the negative pressure generating device 2 and on both sides of the filter dust collection bin 3. The fixed seats 1 and 2 5 are connected by two lifting connecting arms 6. The lifting connecting arms 6 are connected to the negative pressure generating device box 2 by a hydraulic lifting rod 7. The cross-section of the lifting rod 16 is T-shaped. A spring 17 is provided on the outer wall of the lifting rod 16 on one side of the movable frame 12. The hydraulic lifting rod 7 is inclined and its output end is fixed to one side of the bottom end of the lifting connecting arm 6. Multiple lifting connecting arms 6 are rotatably connected to the fixed seats 1 4 and 2 5 respectively. The filter dust collection bin 3 is connected to the negative pressure generating device 2 through a connecting pipe 8. The wheel frame 19 and the lower connecting frame 11 are equipped with movable wheels 18.

[0019] Usage process:

[0020] In use, the vacuum truck is connected to a tractor unit via a tow bar. The tractor unit drives the vacuum truck forward. During vacuuming, the negative pressure generating device 2 is activated. After activation, the negative pressure generating device 2 drives the vacuuming system. Under the negative pressure generated by the vehicle's forward movement, outside air, carrying dust and other debris, is sucked in through the suction port. The dust-laden air then enters the filter dust collection bin negative pressure generating device 3 through the connecting pipe. Inside the filter dust collection bin negative pressure generating device 3, the air passes through filter media such as a filter screen. Dust particles are intercepted and adsorbed on the filter screen surface or deposited at the bottom of the bin. The purified air is then discharged from the exhaust port of the filter dust collection bin, completing the vacuuming and purification process. During the discharge process, the lifting mechanism is activated. The hydraulic lifting rod drives the lifting connecting arm 6 to the positions of fixed seat 4 and fixed seat 5, thereby driving the filter dust collection bin to rise or fall. This allows the filter dust collection bin to be lowered to reduce the center of gravity when cleaning dust, and then raised during operation to increase the height for placing ton bags underneath to pack the discharged dust, saving time and effort.

[0021] When the tractor changes direction, the towing rod 16 pulls the movable frame 12. Since the upper connecting frame 9 and the lower connecting frame 11 are connected by the steering wheel 10, the lower connecting frame 11 can rotate flexibly relative to the upper connecting frame 9. At the same time, the inner shaft 14 in the fixed sleeve 13 drives the universal wheel 15 to rotate, and together with the moving wheel 18, the vacuum cleaner can follow the tractor's steering action, ensuring that the vacuum cleaner can accurately follow the tractor's path, adapt to different road conditions and work sites in the factory, and move back and forth conveniently and flexibly.

[0022] It is worth noting that the entire device is controlled via control buttons. Since the negative pressure generating device matched to the control buttons contains a power source, a hydraulic station, and a power distribution cabinet—all three are common equipment and represent existing mature technologies—their electrical connections and specific circuit structures will not be elaborated upon here. Power supply is also common knowledge in this field, and since this invention is primarily for protecting mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connections will not be explained in detail.

[0023] In the above process, the lifting mechanism allows for convenient lowering of the filter dust collection bin during dust cleaning, reducing the vehicle's center of gravity and facilitating operation and maintenance. It also allows for raising the bin during operation, increasing its height to accommodate ton bags for packaging the discharged dust, effectively improving dust cleaning efficiency and saving manpower and resources. This makes the entire vacuuming and subsequent processing more convenient and efficient. The towing frame structure, the combination of the upper and lower connecting frames, the negative pressure generating device, and the steering wheel, along with the movable frame and casters, enables the vacuum truck to easily and flexibly steer when towed, closely following the towing vehicle's trajectory. This reduces the risk of missed dust or collisions with obstacles due to inflexible steering, improving operational safety and continuity, and allowing for convenient and flexible movement. This application features a simple structure, strong practicality, and easy operation, making it worthy of promotion.
