Detailed Implementation
[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Please see Figure 1-5 In this embodiment of the utility model, a highway tunnel warning post cleaning device includes:
[0024] The sleeve 100 and the cleaning mechanism 200 capable of cleaning the warning column are located inside the sleeve 100. The cleaning mechanism 200 includes a rotating plate 210, which is rotatably sleeved inside the top opening of the sleeve 100. Multiple circumferentially arranged vertical plates 220 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the rotating plate 210, and all the vertical plates 220 are located inside the sleeve 100. A brush plate 230 is provided on one side of each of the multiple vertical plates 220, and multiple rebound springs 231 are fixedly connected between any brush plate 230 and the adjacent vertical plate 220.
[0025] Specifically, the multiple upright plates 220 and brush plates 230 are all arc-shaped plate structures. The outer arc surfaces of the multiple upright plates 220 are all attached to the inner side wall of the sleeve 100. The inner arc surfaces of the multiple brush plates 230 are all bonded with bristles or sponges, and the outer arc surfaces are all opposite to the inner arc surfaces of the adjacent upright plates 220. In use, the sleeve 100 can be placed on the warning post, so that the warning post is inserted into the space between the multiple brush plates 230. The multiple brush plates 230 are driven by the adjacent springs 231 to keep their bristles or sponges always in contact with the surface of the warning post, thus adapting to warning posts of different diameters. Then, the rotating plate 210 is rotated to drive the multiple upright plates 220 and the adjacent brush plates 230 to rotate synchronously, so that the bristles or sponges on the brush plates 230 wipe the surface of the warning post, thus making it convenient for users to clean the warning post.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] like Figure 2-3 and Figure 5As shown, in this embodiment, a collar 300 is detachably sleeved on the outer wall of the sleeve 100, and the collar 300 is fixedly connected to a drive box 310 via a connecting rod. A drive motor is installed inside the drive box 310, and a clamping rod is fixedly connected to the motor shaft of the drive motor. A clamping cylinder 320 is fixedly connected to the center of the top surface of the rotating plate 210, and the clamping rod is slidably engaged inside the clamping cylinder 320. Multiple protrusions are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the clamping rod, and multiple grooves are opened on the inner side wall of the clamping cylinder 320. The protrusions are slidably engaged inside adjacent grooves. A rotating shell 240 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the rotating plate 210, and the rotating shell 240 is annular. A connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the top surface of the rotating shell 240. Multiple flow holes are opened on the top surface of the rotating plate 210, and a connecting groove is opened between the bottom ends of the multiple flow holes. An outflow hole is opened on the bottom surface of the rotating plate 210, and the outflow hole is connected to the inside of the connecting groove. Any flow hole is connected to the inside of the rotating shell 240.
[0028] In this embodiment, a threaded hole is provided on the outer wall of the collar 300, and a screw is screwed into the threaded hole. By sliding the collar 300 to adjust the position of the drive box 310, the locking rod is inserted into the locking cylinder 320. The screw can then be turned to make it abut against the outer wall of the sleeve 100, thereby fixing the position of the collar 300. Then, by starting the drive motor, the locking rod and locking cylinder 320 can drive the rotating plate 210, multiple upright plates 220 and brush plate 230 to rotate synchronously. A water tank can be equipped with a water pump. The pipe is connected to the water tank, and then the pipe is directly inserted into the connecting pipe. The pipe can be made of rubber. It can be directly connected to the connecting pipe. The water pump in the water tank injects water into the rotating shell 240 through the pipe and connecting pipe. The water in the rotating shell 240 enters the connecting groove through multiple flow holes. Then, the water in the connecting groove drips through the outflow hole onto the top of the warning post and flows down the warning post. The water is then wiped by the bristles or sponges on multiple brush plates 230, which facilitates the cleaning of the warning post. The water in the water tank can be replenished from the municipal fire hydrant. When the rotating plate 210 rotates, the speed of the drive motor is relatively slow. The user can manually pull the pipe to fix the position of the rotating shell 240.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, an auxiliary mechanism 400 is also included, which includes:
[0030] The device includes a support pole 410, a guide wheel 420, two sliding rings 430 that can adjust the height of the sleeve 100, and a pull rope 440. The support pole 410 has a tubular structure and a notch at its top. The axle of the guide wheel 420 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the support pole 410, and the guide wheel 420 is located at the notch. Both sliding rings 430 are slidably sleeved with the support pole 410. One sliding ring 430 has a connecting block fixedly connected to its outer wall, and the other sliding ring 430 has a pedal fixedly connected to its outer wall. One end of the connecting block has a slot. The outer wall of the sleeve 100 has a locking block 101 fixedly connected, and the locking block 101 is movably locked inside the slot. The two ends of the pull rope 440 are fixedly connected to the pedal and the connecting block, respectively, and the pull rope 440 passes around the guide wheel 420. The height of the support pole 410 is greater than the height of the sleeve 100.
[0031] In practice, the pole 410 is manually supported and erected on the ground. Then, the user can step on the pedal to move another sliding ring 430 downward, causing the other sliding ring 430 to pull the first sliding ring 430 upward via the pull rope 440, thereby controlling the height of the sleeve 100. When the user lifts the other sliding ring 430, the first sliding ring 430 falls naturally due to the weight of the sleeve 100. When the drive motor is started, the user can repeatedly step on the pedal to move the first sliding ring 430 and the sleeve 100 back and forth, thereby vertically cleaning the warning post, improving the cleaning effect and making it easier for the user to use.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] Based on Embodiment 1, by setting the guide cylinder 110 and the guide plate 232, it is easier for the warning post to be inserted between multiple brush plates 230.
[0034] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom end of the sleeve 100 is detachably connected to the guide cylinder 110, and the bottom end of any brush plate 230 is detachably connected to the guide plate 232.
[0035] In practice, the top of the guide cylinder 110 has a connecting ring that can be fitted onto the bottom of the sleeve 100, and the top of the guide plate 232 has a snap that can be fitted onto the bottom of the adjacent brush plate 230. The guide cylinder 110 is frustum-shaped, and the guide plate 232 is an inclined arc-shaped plate, which can guide the warning post so that the warning post is inserted into the center between multiple brush plates 230.
