Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of reflective cable cleaning, specifically, it relates to a device for cleaning the surface of reflective cables. Background Technology

[0002] Reflective cables are typically rope-like cables made of several or groups of conductors twisted together. Each group of conductors is insulated from each other and is often twisted around a central core. The entire cable is covered with a highly insulating outer layer. The cable is characterized by being internally energized and externally insulated. After being stored for a period of time, the surface of the cable will accumulate a large amount of dust and dirt.

[0003] Chinese Patent No. CN222241503U discloses a cable surface cleaning device that solves the problem of incomplete surface cleaning of cables. The device includes a cleaning box, inside which is installed a first cleaning mechanism, and on the first cleaning mechanism is a second cleaning mechanism. The first cleaning mechanism includes a U-shaped frame fixed to the bottom wall of the cleaning box. A guide rod is fixedly installed on the inner side of the U-shaped frame, and two guide blocks are symmetrically and movably sleeved on the outer side of the guide rod. Each guide block has a rotatable support column connected to its top. This invention, through the cooperation of a cylinder and a lifting plate, as well as a column and a drive rod, facilitates the sliding of both guide blocks along the guide rod. The cooperation between a limiting block and a limiting groove makes the sliding of the two guide blocks more stable, thereby allowing the two guide wheels to approach each other and clamp the cable, thus facilitating the cleaning of the front and rear surfaces of the cable by brushing.

[0004] In practical use, the existing technology described above cleans the front and rear surfaces of the cable using brushes on two guide wheels, and then cleans the upper and lower surfaces of the cable using brushes on two pressure wheels. However, due to the long-term storage of the cable, the dust on its surface will gradually solidify and adhere to the surface of the cable due to environmental factors. As a result, some of the solidified dust will remain on the surface when the brushes clean the cable. Therefore, a surface cleaning device for reflective cables is needed.

[0005] In view of this, this utility model is hereby proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a device for cleaning the surface of reflective cables.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0008] A device for cleaning the surface of reflective cables includes a cleaning box, with wire grooves on both sides of the cleaning box, and a cleaning component inside the cleaning box.

[0009] The cleaning assembly includes a motor located on one side of the cleaning box, a rotating rod installed at the output end of the motor, a first slide groove opened on one side of the inner wall of the cleaning box, toothed plates slidably fitted on opposite sides of the first slide groove, a first arc-shaped frame located on one side of the toothed plates, and a silicone scraper installed on one side of the inner wall of the first arc-shaped frame.

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a device for cleaning the surface of reflective cables, including a cleaning box 1, with wire grooves 3 on both opposite sides of the cleaning box 1, and a cleaning component inside the cleaning box 1;

[0029] The cleaning assembly includes a motor 7 located on one side of the cleaning box 1, a rotating rod 8 installed at the output end of the motor 7, a first sliding groove 20 opened on one side of the inner wall of the cleaning box 1, toothed plates 10 slidably engaged on opposite sides of the first sliding groove 20, a first arc-shaped frame 13 located on one side of the toothed plate 10, and a silicone scraper 14 installed on one side of the inner wall of the first arc-shaped frame 13. The rotating rod 8 engages with the two toothed plates 10.

[0030] One application of this embodiment is as follows: the guide groove 3 provides guidance and positioning for the reflective cable, ensuring that the cable moves along a specific path during the cleaning process, so that the cleaning component can thoroughly clean its surface. By passing the reflective cable through one of the guide grooves 3, the reflective cable is positioned between the two first arc-shaped frames 13. Then, by turning on the motor 7, its output end rotates, driving the rotating rod 8 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 8 causes the two toothed plates 10 to move linearly in the first slide groove (20) inside the cleaning box 1, and the first arc-shaped frame 13 moves along with the toothed plates. As the plate 10 slides and moves, the silicone scraper 14 on the inner wall of the first arc frame 13 also moves accordingly, making it easier to approach or move away from the reflective cable. However, when the first arc frame 13 approaches the cable, the silicone scraper 14 will adhere to the cable surface. As the cable moves, the silicone scraper 14 can scrape off the dust, oil, and solidified dust impurities on the cable surface, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning. Moreover, the silicone material has good flexibility and wear resistance, which can effectively clean the cable surface without damaging it, thus realizing and improving the cleaning efficiency of the reflective cable.

[0031] In this embodiment, guide grooves 21 are provided on both sides of the first slide groove 20, and guide sliders 11 are installed on one side of the toothed plate 10. The guide sliders 11 are slidably engaged in the guide grooves 21. A first through groove 22 is provided on one side of the first slide groove 20. The rotating rod 8 is rotatably engaged in the first through groove 22. A gear 9 is installed at one end of the rotating rod 8. The gear 9 is located between the two toothed plates 10 and meshes with the two toothed plates 10.

[0032] By turning on the motor 7, its output end drives the rotating rod 8 to rotate, thereby transmitting the power of the motor to the rotating rod 8, causing the rotating rod 8 to rotate. At the same time, the gear 9 rotates accordingly, causing the gear 9 to mesh with the toothed plate 10 and rotate. The rotation of the gear 9 will drive the toothed plate 10 to make linear motion in the first slide groove 20, which will drive the first arc-shaped frame 13 and the silicone scraper 14 that cooperate with the toothed plate 10 to make corresponding movements, thereby realizing the placement of reflective cables and surface cleaning operations.

[0033] In this embodiment, a transverse support plate 12 is installed on one side of the toothed plate 10, and the outer side of the first arc-shaped frame 13 is installed on one side of the transverse support plate 12. The two first arc-shaped frames 13 are symmetrically arranged.

[0034] A transverse support plate 12 is installed on one side of the toothed plate 10, so that the transverse support plate 12 and the toothed plate 10 form a stable connection structure, which facilitates the improvement of the stability of the first arc frame 13.

[0035] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the cleaning box 1 is equipped with elastic members on both opposite sides. A second arc-shaped frame 18 is provided on one side of the elastic member. An arc-shaped cleaning brush 19 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the second arc-shaped frame 18. The elastic member includes a fixed frame 15 installed on both opposite sides of the inner wall of the cleaning box 1. A sliding block 17 is slidably fitted inside the fixed frame 15. A reset member 16 is installed between the fixed frame 15 and the sliding block 17.

[0036] The fixed frames 15 installed on both sides of the inner wall of the cleaning box 1 provide a sliding track for the sliding block 17, so that the sliding block 17 can only slide in a specific direction inside the fixed frame 15, ensuring the stability and controllability of its movement. When the sliding block 17 is displaced by external force, and the reset member 16 can be any one of spring or flexible sheet, the reset member 16 will generate elastic deformation to store energy. When the external force disappears, the reset member 16 will return to its original shape and push the sliding block 17 back to the initial position, which facilitates the reset function. At the same time, as the sliding block 17 slides, the second arc frame 18 can fit the arc surface of the reflective cable, improving the cleaning effect. Meanwhile, the bristles of the arc cleaning brush 19 can further clean the fine impurities remaining on the cable surface, and together with the silicone scraper 14, achieve a fine cleaning of the cable surface.

[0037] In this embodiment, a second groove 4 is provided on one side of the cleaning box 1, and a collection box 5 is slidably fitted inside the second groove 4. A guide plate 6 is installed inside the cleaning box 1, and the guide plate 6 is located below the arc-shaped cleaning brush 19.

[0038] The collection box 5 can slide within the second chute 4 for easy installation and cleaning. The guide plate 6 is inclined and faces the two second arc-shaped frames 18 and is installed inside the cleaning box 1. Its main function is to guide the impurities and dust cleaned from the cable surface to slide down and fall smoothly into the collection box 5, so as to avoid the accumulation of impurities in the cleaning box, which would affect the cleaning effect and the normal operation of the device.

[0039] This utility model is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Anyone should know that structural changes made under the guidance of this utility model, and any technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this utility model, fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Technical aspects, shapes, and structures not described in detail in this utility model are all publicly known technologies.
