Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle cleaning machine technology, specifically relating to a multi-purpose vehicle cleaning machine. Background Technology
[0002] Open wagon rail transport can carry a large amount of goods at once, making it a relatively economical freight transport method. Currently, the transport of bulk goods by rail mainly relies on open wagons. However, some dilapidated open wagons cannot effectively transport bulk goods and are prone to leakage. To improve the utilization of open wagons, one or two small open containers are usually placed inside the dilapidated open wagons to achieve the purpose of reusing the dilapidated open wagons. However, the width of the open wagons and the width of the open containers differ greatly, and the original open wagon cleaning machines cannot clean the open containers, resulting in the need for additional manpower and resources for cleaning, which has poor versatility. Existing cleaning machines also generate dust during the unloading process, which can easily cause environmental pollution.
[0003] Therefore, how to provide a cleaning machine that is suitable for both open truck compartments and open containers is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a multi-purpose vehicle cleaning machine that can be used for cleaning both open truck bodies and open containers. It is highly versatile, easy to use, and at the same time ensures environmental protection during unloading and reduces dust pollution.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a multi-purpose vehicle cleaning machine, comprising:
[0006] A track-moving gantry that travels on railway tracks;
[0007] The bucket elevator has two sets, which are respectively lifted and connected to the track-moving gantry. The top discharge end of both sets of bucket elevators is connected to a telescopic discharge cylinder, and the bottom feed end of both sets of bucket elevators is respectively connected to an open-top car body cleaning head and an open-top container cleaning head. The outer perimeter of the open-top container cleaning head is smaller than that of the open-top car body cleaning head.
[0008] The material conveying mechanism is horizontally arranged on the track-moving gantry and located between the two sets of bucket elevators. The bottom ends of the two telescopic discharge cylinders are connected to the material conveying mechanism, and the discharge end of the material conveying mechanism is connected to a dust hood.
[0009] The dust removal assembly includes a negative pressure dust collector for dust removal at the discharge end of the conveying mechanism and a spray dust suppressor for dust suppression at the cleaning head. Both the negative pressure dust collector and the spray dust suppressor are fixed on the track-moving gantry.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the track-moving gantry can be used with existing railway tracks, and the two sets of bucket elevators installed on it are used to lift the materials delivered by the open-car cleaning head and the open-container cleaning head, respectively. It should be noted that since the open-car cleaning head and the open-container cleaning head are applicable to different objects, they have different sizes to meet the cleaning work of open-cars and open containers. The dust generated during the unloading process can be suppressed by the dust removal components to avoid dust pollution of the atmospheric environment. This product improves the versatility and applicability of existing cleaning machines and is suitable for different cleaning conditions.
[0011] Preferably, the track-moving gantry is provided with a lifting mechanism for raising and lowering the bucket elevator. The lifting mechanism has two sets, each corresponding to one of the bucket elevators on the adjacent side. The track-moving gantry is provided with a guide frame for guiding the bucket elevator to rise and fall. The lifting mechanism is a chain lifting mechanism, a hydraulic lifting mechanism, or a gear lifting mechanism.
[0012] The resulting technical effect is that there are two sets of lifting mechanisms, which can lift the corresponding bucket elevator and complete the necessary lifting and lowering. The guide frame is set to provide lifting and lowering guidance for the bucket elevator. It should be noted that the lifting mechanism can be implemented in various forms and is not limited to winch wire rope mechanism, chain lifting mechanism, hydraulic lifting mechanism or gear lifting mechanism.
[0013] Preferably, both the open-top truck cleaning head and the open-top container cleaning head include a base frame, a rotating scraper mechanism, a tilting frame, a movable side brush, and a lifting vertical scraper. The middle part of the base frame is the bucket elevator area connected to the bucket elevator. There are two sets of rotating scraper mechanisms symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bucket elevator area. The rotating scraper mechanism transfers the material to the bucket elevator area of the base frame. There are two sets of tilting frames that control the tilting of the movable side brushes on both sides of the base frame. The lifting vertical scraper is installed on the edges of both sides of the base frame and is used to scrape out loose material from the corners of the container.
[0014] The resulting technical effect is that the structure of the open-top truck cleaning head and the open-top container cleaning head is the same, only the size is different. The open-top truck cleaning head and the open-top container cleaning head can clean the larger open-top truck and the smaller open-top container respectively. The cleaning head with lifting scraper can scrape off the material at the corners of the container, avoiding the creation of cleaning blind spots.
[0015] Preferably, the conveying mechanism is a screw conveyor, a belt conveyor, or a scraper conveyor. The conveyor has a conveying cylinder and a conveying assembly. The conveying assembly is rotatably connected inside the conveying cylinder and is used to sequentially convey materials. One end edge of the conveying cylinder is provided with two inlets that connect to a telescopic discharge cylinder, and the other end edge is provided with a discharge pipe that connects to the dust hood. Below the discharge pipe is an external belt conveyor, and the dust hood is located above the belt conveyor.
[0016] The resulting technical effects are as follows: there are multiple options for the material conveying mechanism, and a closed screw conveyor is preferred to avoid dust spillage. Two bucket elevators and two telescopic discharge cylinders share one material conveying mechanism. The discharge pipe can guide the material from the material conveying mechanism to the external belt conveyor. Due to the dust hood, it forms a covering effect at the material drop point, making it easy for the dust suction pipe to remove the dust, which is then removed by the dust collector. It should be noted that the dust hood can cover the material drop area, and the dust generated by the material drop can be directly sucked away, thereby preventing dust spillage.
[0017] Preferably, the bottom of the negative pressure dust collector is provided with a discharge port, which guides the collected dust to the conveying mechanism. The negative pressure dust collector is provided with a suction pipe, one end of which is connected to the dust cover and the other end is connected to the housing.
[0018] The resulting technical effect is that the negative pressure dust collector is mainly for dust removal during the material discharge process of the conveyor, which can prevent dust from overflowing. The dust collector can be the existing bag dust collector.
[0019] Preferably, the spray dust suppressor includes a water station, a spray pipe, and water mist nozzles. The water station is fixed on the track-movable gantry. The spray pipe is connected to the water station. The water mist nozzles are connected to the spray pipe and located above the open-carriage cleaning head and the open-container cleaning head. The high-pressure water pumped by the water station is sprayed out through the water mist nozzles to suppress the dust generated by the open-carriage cleaning head and the open-container cleaning head during operation.
[0020] The resulting technical effects are: the spray dust suppressor is mainly for dust suppression during the operation of the sweeping head; the water mist sprayed from the water mist nozzle can suppress the dust generated during the sweeping of the carriage; and the increased moisture content of the material further suppresses the dust generated during the conveying process.

[0028] 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.
[0029] See appendix to this utility model Figures 1 to 6 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a multi-purpose vehicle cleaning machine includes:
[0030] The track-moving gantry 1 travels on a railway track and has an electric drive wheel assembly that drives the gantry to move.
[0031] Bucket elevator 2, which has two sets available in different sizes, is connected to a track-mounted movable gantry 1. The top discharge end of both bucket elevators 2 is connected to a telescopic discharge cylinder 3, and the bottom feed end of both bucket elevators 2 is connected to an open-top car body cleaning head 4 and an open-top container cleaning head 5, respectively. The outer perimeter of the open-top container cleaning head 5 is smaller than that of the open-top car body cleaning head 4. The working principle and structure of the open-top container cleaning head 5 and the open-top car body cleaning head 4 are the same, only differing in size. The purpose is to adapt to open-top cars and open-top containers of different sizes. Because the width of open-top cars and open-top containers are different, the original open-top car body cleaning head cannot be used for cleaning open-top containers.
[0032] The material conveying mechanism 6 is a single unit, which is horizontally arranged on the track-moving gantry 1 and located between the two sets of bucket elevators 2. The bottom ends of the two telescopic discharge cylinders 3 are connected to the material conveying mechanism 6 and share a single material conveying mechanism to transport materials (bulk materials) outward. The discharge end of the material conveying mechanism 6 is connected to a dust hood 7. The dust hood is designed for subsequent dust suppression and dust collection to ensure that the unloading process is pollution-free.
[0033] The dust removal assembly includes a negative pressure dust collector 8 for dust removal at the discharge end of the conveying mechanism and a spray dust suppressor 9 for dust suppression at the cleaning head. Both the negative pressure dust collector 8 and the spray dust suppressor are fixed on the track-moving gantry 1.
[0034] In other embodiments, the track-moving gantry 1 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 9 for raising and lowering the bucket elevator 2. There are two sets of lifting mechanisms 9, each corresponding to one of the bucket elevators 2 on the adjacent side. When it is necessary to clean open carriages, the bucket elevator with the open carriage cleaning head can be raised to work. When it is necessary to clean open containers, the bucket elevator with the open container cleaning head can be raised to work. The track-moving gantry 1 is equipped with a guide frame 10 for guiding the lifting and lowering of the bucket elevator 2, which ensures the lifting and lowering stability of the bucket elevator. The lifting mechanism 9 can be a winch wire rope mechanism, chain lifting mechanism, hydraulic lifting mechanism or gear lifting mechanism, which can be selected according to the application. This is conventional technology and will not be described in detail.
[0035] In other embodiments, both the open-top truck cleaning head 4 and the open-top container cleaning head 5 are actually scraper-type cleaning heads. Specifically, they both include a base frame 11, a rotating scraper mechanism 12, a tilting frame 13, a movable side brush 14, and a lifting vertical scraper 15. The middle part of the base frame 11 is the bucket lifting area connected to the bucket elevator 2. There are two sets of rotating scraper mechanisms 12, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bucket lifting area. The rotating scraper mechanism 12 transfers the material to the bucket lifting area of the base frame. The tilting frame 13 is controlled by a tilting cylinder. It has two sets and controls the tilting angle of the movable side brushes 14 on both sides of the base frame. The movable side brush is an independent cleaning workpiece that can clean the loose material in the truck. The lifting vertical scraper 15 is installed on the edges of both sides of the base frame 11 and is used to scrape out the loose material at the corners of the container, ensuring the quality of cleaning and avoiding leaving cleaning blind spots.
[0036] The above-mentioned sweeping head is existing technology and is described in a relatively concise manner. Referring to the sweeping head mechanism for a car cleaning machine with a vertical scraper disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN222020312U, it will not be described in detail here.
[0037] In some other specific embodiments, the material conveying mechanism 6 is a screw conveyor, a belt conveyor, or a scraper conveyor. Taking a screw conveyor as an example, the screw conveyor has a material conveying cylinder and a material conveying auger. One end edge of the material conveying cylinder is provided with two inlet ports 61 that connect to the telescopic discharge cylinder, and the other end edge is provided with a discharge pipe 16 that connects to the dust hood. It can be understood that the dust hood does not affect the discharge of the discharge pipe. It is more about surrounding the discharge port of the discharge pipe. Below the discharge pipe 16 is the external belt conveyor 17. The dust hood 7 is close to the top of the belt conveyor 17 to reduce the gap and make full use of the dust suction pipe to suck up the dust generated during the unloading process.
[0038] In other embodiments, the bottom of the housing of the negative pressure dust collector 8 is provided with a discharge port, which guides the collected dust to the conveying mechanism 6. The negative pressure dust collector is provided with a suction pipe 81, one end of which is connected to the dust cover 7 and the other end is connected to the housing. The negative pressure dust collector can be a bag filter dust collector.
[0039] In some other specific embodiments, the spray dust suppressor includes a water station 18, a spray pipe, and water mist nozzles. The water station 18 is fixed on the track-moving gantry 1. The spray pipe is connected to the water station 18. The water mist nozzles are connected to the spray pipe and located above the open-carriage cleaning head 4 and the open-container cleaning head 5. The high-pressure water pumped out by the water station 18 is sprayed out through the water mist nozzles to suppress the dust generated when the open-carriage cleaning head 4 and the open-container cleaning head 5 are working. The water station includes the necessary water tank and water pump, which can pump out high-pressure water.
[0040] The sprayed water mist can suppress the dust generated by the cleaning head, and also increase the moisture content of the material, further reducing the dust generated during the discharge process.
[0041] The apparatus and methods disclosed in the embodiments are described simply because they correspond to the methods disclosed in the embodiments. For relevant details, please refer to the method section.
[0042] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention.
