Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of curtain wall cleaning, and in particular to an obstacle-crossing device for glass curtain wall cleaning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of glass curtain walls, designers are creating increasingly diverse designs for building facades. Existing cleaning equipment is mostly designed for smooth glass curtain walls, requiring only vertical movement for cleaning. However, to enhance aesthetics and facilitate future maintenance, glass curtain walls are often installed inwards, resulting in bulges on each floor's facade. In this case, the outer frame of the cleaning equipment will engage with the corners of the building facade, requiring workers to use hoisting equipment on the roof for repositioning. However, since curtain wall cleaning is a high-altitude operation, repositioning can cause the equipment to sway, leading to repeated impacts with the glass curtain wall and potentially damaging the facade. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to facilitate the cleaning equipment to cross the corners of buildings, reduce the possibility of damage to glass curtain walls, and improve the adaptability of the obstacle crossing device, this application provides an obstacle crossing device for glass curtain wall cleaning equipment.

[0004] This application provides an obstacle-crossing device for glass curtain wall cleaning equipment, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] An obstacle-crossing device for a glass curtain wall cleaning equipment includes several elastic wheels 1 disposed on the top surface of the outer frame of the equipment, an adjustment component 1 disposed on the outer frame of the equipment for driving the elastic wheels 1 toward the glass curtain wall, several elastic wheels 2 disposed on the bottom surface of the outer frame of the equipment, an adjustment component 2 disposed on the outer frame of the equipment for driving the elastic wheels 2 toward the glass curtain wall, and several support wheels disposed on the side of the outer frame of the equipment facing the glass curtain wall. An anti-collision wheel is provided between the elastic wheels 1 and the support wheels on the side of the outer frame of the equipment.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the first elastic wheel is installed on the top surface of the outer frame of the equipment. When the cleaning equipment moves upward, the first elastic wheel first contacts the corner of the building. At this time, the equipment continues to move upward, and the first elastic wheel rolls and climbs to the corner of the building, driving the cleaning equipment to climb. The anti-collision wheel effectively reduces the possibility of the outer frame of the equipment hitting the corner of the building when the equipment is tilted. The support wheel improves the stability of the equipment in the climbing state and provides support for the outer frame of the equipment, reducing the possibility of the outer frame of the equipment continuously hitting the glass curtain wall and reducing the possibility of the equipment damaging the glass curtain wall. The adjustment component is used to adjust the outward extension distance of the first elastic wheel, which makes it convenient for the staff to adjust the position of the first elastic wheel according to the width of the corner of the building, and also makes it convenient to adjust the protective position of the first elastic wheel according to the width of the outer frame of the equipment, thereby improving the practicality and adaptability of the obstacle crossing device. The second elastic wheel is used to drive the equipment to climb the corner of the building when the equipment moves downward, improving the stability of the equipment when moving downward.

[0007] Preferably, the first adjustment component includes an adjustment cylinder, a connecting shaft disposed at the piston end of the adjustment cylinder, and connecting rods disposed at both ends of the connecting shaft. The first elastic wheel has positioning rods at both ends of its rotation shaft, and a positioning seat is disposed at the lower end of the positioning rod. The end of the positioning seat away from the positioning rod is fixedly installed on the outer frame of the equipment. One end of the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the adjustment cylinder through the connecting shaft, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to the positioning rod. The end of the positioning seat near the positioning rod is provided with a rotating shaft, and the positioning rod is rotatably connected to the positioning seat through the rotating shaft.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjusting cylinder is used to push the connecting shaft to move back and forth. The movement of the connecting shaft pushes the connecting rod to move. The movement of the connecting rod drives the positioning rod to move. The movement of the positioning rod drives the elastic wheel to move. The fixed seat is used to improve the stability of the elastic wheel. The adjusting cylinder is fixedly installed on the outer frame of the equipment. When the adjusting cylinder pushes the elastic wheel to rotate, the connecting end of the connecting rod and the positioning rod rotates at a corresponding angle, thereby driving the elastic wheel to move forward or backward.

[0009] Preferably, the structure of the second adjustment component is the same as that of the first adjustment component. The two ends of the rotation shaft of the second elastic wheel are provided with fixed rods, and the upper end of the fixed rod is provided with a fixed seat. The end of the fixed seat away from the fixed rod is fixedly installed on the outer frame of the equipment. The end of the fixed seat near the fixed rod is provided with a second rotating shaft. The fixed rod is rotatably connected to the fixed seat through the second rotating shaft.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the fixed seat improves the stability of the fixed rod, thereby improving the stability of the second elastic wheel. The second adjustment component pushes the second elastic wheel forward or backward by adjusting the cylinder. The fixed rod is rotatably connected to the fixed seat through the second rotating shaft, which facilitates the movement of the second elastic wheel. The second adjustment component also plays the role of positioning the second elastic wheel in conjunction with the fixed seat and the fixed rod.

[0011] Preferably, the rotating shaft of the support wheel is provided with adjustment seats at both ends. One end of the adjustment seat is fixedly installed on the outer frame of the equipment. The adjustment seat is provided with a plurality of adjustment holes along the length direction, and the rotating shaft of the support wheel is located in the adjustment holes.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the adjusting seat improves the stability of the support wheel, and the adjusting hole allows the staff to adjust the position of the support wheel as needed.

[0013] Preferably, the rotating shaft of the support wheel is provided with a threaded hole, and the top surface of the adjusting seat is provided with a through hole communicating with the threaded hole.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded hole and through hole facilitate subsequent bolt fixing of the support wheel, thereby improving the stability of the support wheel on the adjusting seat.

[0015] Preferably, both the first elastic wheel and the second elastic wheel are made of elastic material.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, both elastic wheel one and elastic wheel two are made of elastic material, which reduces the possibility of damaging the corners of the building when elastic wheel one and elastic wheel two come into contact with the building.

[0017] Preferably, both the first elastic wheel and / or the second elastic wheel have a hollow inner cavity.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, both the first elastic wheel and / or the second elastic wheel are provided with hollow cavities, which effectively reduces the impact force of the obstacle crossing device on the building and reduces the possibility of the obstacle crossing device damaging the corners of the building.

[0019] In summary, the first elastic wheel reduces the impact force and simultaneously propels the equipment upwards. As the equipment moves upwards, the first elastic wheel rotates and climbs along the building corner, allowing the equipment to cross the corner. The anti-collision wheel further protects the outer frame of the equipment, reducing the possibility of the outer frame colliding with the building corner when the equipment tilts. The support wheel improves the overall stability of the equipment's upward movement and also prevents the equipment from impacting and damaging the glass curtain wall during position adjustments. The second elastic wheel facilitates the equipment's downward movement across the building corner. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-3 The present invention will be further described below. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of this application, and should not be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the orientations or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "center", "up", "down", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "inner", and "outer" are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description. They are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0026] This application discloses an obstacle-crossing device for glass curtain wall cleaning equipment. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The device includes several elastic wheels 2 mounted on the top surface of the cleaning equipment, an adjustment component 3 mounted on the top surface of the cleaning equipment for adjusting the position of the elastic wheels 2, several elastic wheels 4 mounted on the bottom surface of the cleaning equipment, an adjustment component 5 mounted on the bottom surface of the cleaning equipment for adjusting the position of the elastic wheels 4, several support wheels 6 mounted on the side of the cleaning equipment facing the glass curtain wall, and anti-collision wheels 7 mounted on the side of the tilting device facing the glass curtain wall and located at the side of the device. The elastic wheels 2 and 4 are made of elastic material, reducing the possibility of the equipment damaging the glass curtain wall. Both elastic wheels 2 and 4 have hollow cavities inside, which effectively reduce damage to the elastic wheels 2 and 4 when they impact the corners of the building. The obstacle-crossing device of this application is installed on the outer frame of the cleaning equipment, and the support wheels 6 are installed in a position that avoids interference with the cleaning roller brush of the cleaning equipment. Adjustment component 3 is used to move elastic wheel 2 toward or away from the glass curtain wall, and adjustment component 5 is used to move elastic wheel 4 toward or away from the glass curtain wall.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2When the cleaning equipment moves upward, the elastic wheel 2 first contacts the protruding corner of the building. When the equipment receives the upward pulling force, the elastic wheel 2 rotates under the pull, driving the equipment to move, effectively reducing the possibility of the equipment getting stuck with the corner of the building. The anti-collision wheel 7 is located between the elastic wheel 2 and the support wheel 6. In this embodiment, the anti-collision wheel 7 is also provided between the elastic wheel 4 and the support wheel 6. When the elastic wheel 2 rises to the corner of the building, the anti-collision wheel 7 contacts the corner of the building along with the elastic wheel 2, reducing the possibility of the outer frame 1 of the equipment scraping against the building. After the outer frame 1 of the equipment has risen smoothly, the support wheel 6 then drives the entire equipment to move and rise.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The adjustment component 3 allows workers to adjust the position of the elastic wheel 2 according to the width of the protruding corner of the building. The adjustment component 3 includes an adjusting cylinder 31 mounted on the outer frame 1 of the equipment, a connecting shaft 32 fixed to the piston end of the adjusting cylinder 31, and connecting rods 33 mounted at both ends of the connecting shaft 32. The length extension direction of the connecting shaft 32 is perpendicular to the piston movement direction of the adjusting cylinder 31. The connecting rods 33 are rotatably connected to the piston end of the adjusting cylinder 31 via the connecting shaft 32. Positioning rods 8 are installed at both ends of the rotating shaft of the elastic wheel 2. A positioning seat 9 connected to one end of the positioning rod 8 is fixedly installed on the outer frame 1 of the equipment. A rotating shaft 10 is installed on the positioning seat 9, and the positioning seat 9 is rotatably connected to the end of the positioning rod 8 via the rotating shaft 10. In this embodiment, a bearing is provided between the rotating shaft of the elastic wheel 2 and the rotating wheel of the elastic wheel 2, facilitating the installation and fixation of the elastic wheel 2. When the piston end of the adjusting cylinder 31 is ready to push the elastic wheel 2 to extend further outward toward the outer frame 1 of the equipment, the adjusting cylinder 31 pushes the connecting rod 33, and the connecting rod 33 pushes the elastic wheel 2 to rotate outward around the rotating shaft 10. In this application, the adjusting cylinder 31 is set at an angle, and a triangular support structure is formed between the outer frame 1 of the equipment, the adjusting cylinder 31 and the positioning seat 9, which improves the stability of the elastic wheel 2.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3The structure of adjustment component 2 5 is the same as that of adjustment component 1 3. Adjustment component 2 5 also includes an adjustment cylinder 31, a connecting shaft 32 fixed to the piston end of the adjustment cylinder 31, and connecting rods 33 installed at both ends of the connecting shaft 32. The length extension direction of the connecting shaft 32 is perpendicular to the piston movement direction of the adjustment cylinder 31. The connecting rods 33 are rotatably connected to the piston end of the adjustment cylinder 31 through the connecting shaft 32. The rotation shaft of the elastic wheel 2 4 is provided with fixed rods 11 at both ends. A fixed seat 12 connected to one end of the fixed rod 11 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the outer frame 1 of the equipment. A rotating shaft 2 13 is installed on the fixed seat 12. The fixed rod 11 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 12 through the rotating shaft 2 13. When the piston end of the adjustment cylinder 31 is ready to push the elastic wheel 2 4 to extend further outward toward the outer frame 1 of the equipment, the adjustment cylinder 31 pushes the connecting rod 33, and the connecting rod 33 pushes the elastic wheel 2 4 to rotate outward around the rotation shaft of the rotating shaft 2 13. In this application, the cylinder is tilted, forming a triangular support structure between the outer frame 1, the cylinder, and the fixed base 12, thus improving the stability of the elastic wheel 2. In this embodiment, a bearing is provided between the rotating shaft of the elastic wheel 4 and its rotating wheel, and the outward extension of the rotating shaft facilitates the installation and fixation of the elastic wheel 4.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 To facilitate adjustment of the position of the support wheel 6, adjusting seats 14 are installed at both ends of the rotating shaft of the support wheel 6. One end of the adjusting seat 14 is fixedly installed on the outer frame 1 of the equipment. The adjusting seat 14 has several adjusting holes 15 along its length. The support wheel 6 is adjusted by inserting its rotating shaft into the adjusting holes 15 at different positions. In this embodiment, the adjusting seat 14 extends in length toward the glass curtain wall. To improve the stability of the support wheel 6 on the adjusting seat 14, a threaded hole is provided on the rotating shaft of the support wheel 6. A through hole 16 communicating with the threaded hole is provided on the top surface of the adjusting seat 14. The number and position of the through holes 16 correspond to the adjusting holes 15. When the rotating shaft is inserted into an adjusting hole 15, the threaded hole aligns with the through hole 16 of the corresponding adjusting block, and the rotating shaft is fixed to the adjusting seat 14 by bolts. The rotating shaft of the support wheel 6 and the rotating wheel of the support wheel 6 are also rotatably connected by bearings, which facilitates the fixing operation of the rotating shaft of the support wheel 6.

[0031] The implementation principle of the obstacle-crossing device for a glass curtain wall cleaning equipment according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: After the cleaning equipment climbs to the protruding corner of the building, the elastic wheel 2 first contacts the corner. The elastic wheel 2 is made of elastic material and has a hollow inner cavity, which acts as a buffer to reduce the force of the equipment hitting the corner of the building, thereby avoiding the possibility of the equipment scraping against the corner and damaging it. After the elastic wheel 2 is subjected to tension, it rotates, driving the equipment to move upward. The anti-collision wheel 7 climbs the corner with the elastic wheel 2, effectively preventing the side of the frame from hitting the corner of the building while climbing at an incline. After the anti-collision wheel 7 drives the corner of the equipment frame to climb, the entire equipment is driven forward by the support wheel 6. In this embodiment, the support wheel 6 is made of elastic material and has a hollow inner cavity, which effectively buffers the force of the equipment hitting the glass curtain wall due to shaking during adjustment. (Refer to...) Figure 3 As can be seen, the cleaning range of the cleaning roller brush exceeds the support range of the support wheel 6, thus not hindering the operation of the equipment. The bristles of the cleaning roller brush are made of soft material, and the figure shows the rotation state in an unobstructed state. The obstacle-crossing device of this application effectively improves the practicality and adaptability of the cleaning equipment, reduces the possibility of damage to the glass curtain wall due to impact when the equipment crosses obstacles, and improves the safety of equipment operation.

[0032] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
