Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of hull cleaning equipment, and in particular to a mechanical scraping device for peeling off hull attachments. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of ship operation, ships navigate in various waterways for extended periods, making their hull surfaces highly susceptible to attachment by aquatic organisms such as barnacles and algae. This attachment significantly increases the roughness of the hull, resulting in a substantial increase in water resistance during navigation. According to relevant research and actual operational data, hull adhesion can increase navigation resistance by 20%-40%. This not only directly leads to a significant increase in fuel consumption—typically raising the fuel consumption rate by 10%-30% and greatly increasing operating costs—but also negatively impacts the ship's speed and overall performance, reducing transportation efficiency.

[0003] Currently, high-pressure water jet spraying is a commonly used method for cleaning debris attached to ship hulls. However, this method has many limitations. Once barnacles and other organisms firmly attach to the hull surface, their hard shells adhere tightly to the hull, making it difficult for high-pressure water jets to effectively remove them, resulting in extremely low cleaning efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to remove barnacles and other organisms that are closely attached to the hull, this application provides a mechanical scraping device for peeling off hull attachments.

[0005] The mechanical scraping device for removing ship hull attachments provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A mechanical scraping device for removing attachments from a ship's hull includes a mounting plate with a fixing assembly for securing the mounting plate to the hull. A cleaning rod is slidably connected to the mounting plate, and a cleaning disc is provided at the end of the cleaning rod. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the cleaning rod, and the output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to and coaxially arranged with the cleaning disc. A spraying assembly for spraying water onto the cleaning disc is provided on the cleaning rod.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting plate can be securely fixed to the hull using the fixing components. Then, by controlling the cleaning rod, it moves on the mounting plate via a sliding connection, driving the cleaning disc to scrape and clean the hull surface. Simultaneously, the drive motor rotates the cleaning disc, effectively removing adhering substances from the hull. At the same time, a spray system softens the adhering substances and assists in cleaning, improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness, while also cleaning the cleaning disc itself.

[0008] Optionally, the mounting plate has a groove along the length of the mounting plate, and a slider is rotatably connected to the cleaning rod. The slider is slidably connected in the groove, and the cleaning rod is slidably connected to the mounting plate through the slider.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the cleaning rod can slide smoothly along the length of the mounting plate, thereby expanding the working range of the cleaning disc and improving the cleaning efficiency of the surface attachments on the hull. The cooperation structure between the slider and the groove reduces the swaying of the cleaning rod during movement, ensuring the stability of the cleaning disc during operation, and thus improving the cleaning effect. The rotatably connected slider can also adapt to the angle adjustment requirements of the cleaning rod, enhancing the flexibility of the device.

[0010] Optionally, the fixing component includes a placement plate, the mounting plate is fixedly connected to the placement plate, the placement plate is provided with an abutment plate, and the placement plate is provided with an abutment member for pressing the abutment plate against the hull.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the placement plate and the mounting plate are fixedly connected, allowing the entire device to be stably installed on the hull surface. The abutment plate is firmly pressed against the hull by the abutment members, thus ensuring that the device will not shift or fall off during the cleaning process, improving the stability of the device. This design not only enhances the fixing effect of the device but also provides a reliable support foundation for subsequent cleaning operations.

[0012] Optionally, the abutment is configured as an adjusting bolt, which is threadedly connected to the placement plate, and the shank of the adjusting bolt is rotatably connected to the abutment plate.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation of the bolts allows the position of the abutment plate to be adjusted according to the specific conditions of the hull surface, thereby ensuring that the device is firmly fixed to the hull. The threaded connection not only simplifies operation but also ensures a tight fit between the abutment plate and the hull, effectively improving the stability of the device. Furthermore, the rotatable connection of the adjusting bolt's shank to the abutment plate ensures even force distribution when pressure is applied, preventing damage to the hull surface due to excessive localized stress.

[0014] Optionally, a rubber plate is fixedly connected to the end of the abutment plate away from the adjusting bolt.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber sheet can increase the friction between the abutment plate and the hull, thereby improving the overall stability of the fixing components and preventing the device from sliding or loosening during cleaning. Furthermore, the rubber sheet also protects the hull surface, preventing potential damage when the abutment plate directly contacts the hull.

[0016] Optionally, a baffle is fixedly connected to the slider, and a stop block for limiting the sliding range of the slider in the groove is fixedly connected to the lower end of the mounting plate.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the baffle and stop can effectively limit the sliding range of the slider within the groove, preventing excessive displacement of the cleaning rod during sliding, which could lead to structural instability or damage. Simultaneously, the baffle is fixedly connected to the slider, directly physically restricting its movement and preventing it from detaching from the groove.

[0018] Optionally, the spray assembly includes a water tank fixedly connected to the placement plate, a spray pipe fixedly connected and connected to the water tank, the spray pipe being arranged along the length direction of the cleaning rod, the water outlet end of the spray pipe facing one side of the cleaning plate, the spray pipe being fixedly connected to the cleaning rod, and a pump body being installed on the spray pipe.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the water tank on the placement plate can store cleaning water, and the spray pipe is set along the length of the cleaning rod and fixed on the cleaning rod, with its water outlet facing the cleaning disc. Together with the pump, it achieves precise spraying of the cleaning disc. This design effectively wets the working area of ​​the cleaning disc, softens the deposits, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and reducing wear on the cleaning disc. At the same time, the combination of the water tank and spray pipe ensures a stable water supply, making the spraying process more uniform and continuous, further improving the cleaning effect.

[0020] Optionally, multiple cleaning chains are fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the cleaning disc.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the cleaning range of the cleaning disc can be increased by the cleaning chain. At the same time, the force of the cleaning chain can be used to repeatedly and continuously strike barnacles that are difficult to clean. During the mechanical scraping process, it is easier to peel off the attached substances, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and effect.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. The device is stably fixed to the hull by a fixing component. Combined with the sliding connection cleaning rod and the cleaning disc driven by the drive motor, it can effectively adapt to the hull surface of different shapes, improve cleaning efficiency and applicability, and solve the problems of traditional devices being unable to be stably fixed and having poor cleaning effect.

[0024] 2. The spray unit sprays water onto the cleaning disc, which, in conjunction with the rotation of the cleaning disc, softens and brushes away debris, improving the cleaning effect;

[0025] 3. Multiple cleaning chains are installed on the outer arc surface of the cleaning disc, which enhances the ability to peel off stubborn deposits, further improves cleaning efficiency, and reduces the risk of damage to the hull surface. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 2 This application will be described in further detail below.

[0030] An embodiment of this application is: a mechanical scraping device for peeling off attachments to a ship's hull, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 It includes a mounting plate 1, which is rectangular in shape. A fixing assembly 2 for fixing the mounting plate 1 to the hull is mounted on the mounting plate 1.

[0031] The fixing component 2 includes a placement plate 21, which is shaped like a groove. A mounting plate 1 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the placement plate 21. An abutment plate 22 is provided within the placement plate 21, located on the side of the placement plate 21 away from the mounting plate 1. The placement plate 21 is provided with an abutment member 24 for pressing the abutment plate 22 against the hull. In this embodiment, the abutment member 24 is an adjusting bolt, threadedly connected to the placement plate 21, with its shank rotatably connected to the abutment plate 22. Rotating the adjusting bolt allows it to press the abutment plate 22 against the hull, while also reducing the risk of the abutment plate 22 damaging the hull surface. A rubber plate 23 is fixedly connected to the end of the abutment plate 22 away from the adjusting bolt.

[0032] A cleaning rod 3 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 1, and the cleaning rod 3 is set along the length direction of the mounting plate 1.

The cleaning rod 3 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 1 through the slider 7 and can rotate to a certain extent on the mounting plate 1.

[0033] Meanwhile, in order to limit the sliding range of the cleaning rod 3, baffles 8 are fixedly connected to both sides of the slider 7, and a stop block 9 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the mounting plate 1 to limit the sliding range of the slider 7 in the slide groove 11.

[0034] The cleaning rod 3 has a cleaning disc 4 at its end, which is used to clean the barnacles. Multiple cleaning chains 41 are fixedly connected to the outer arc surface of the cleaning disc 4. A drive motor 5 is fixedly connected to the cleaning rod 3, and the output shaft of the drive motor 5 is fixedly connected to and coaxially arranged with the cleaning disc 4. When the drive motor 5 is activated, it electrically rotates the cleaning disc 4 to clean the barnacles, while the cleaning chains 41 simultaneously break the barnacles by striking them.

[0035] The cleaning rod 3 is equipped with a spray assembly 6 for spraying water onto the cleaning disc 4. The spray assembly 6 includes a water tank 61 fixedly connected to the placement plate 21, a spray pipe 62 fixedly connected to and connected to the water tank 61, the spray pipe 62 is arranged along the length of the cleaning rod 3, the water outlet of the spray pipe 62 faces one side of the cleaning disc 4, the spray pipe 62 is fixedly connected to the cleaning rod 3, and a pump body 63 is installed on the spray pipe 62.

[0036] Therefore, by starting the pump body 63, the water in the water tank 61 can be sprayed out to the cleaning plate 4 through the spray pipe 62 for spray cleaning.

[0037] When cleaning barnacles from the hull, the mounting plate 1 is securely fixed to the hull using the fixing component 2. Then, by controlling the cleaning rod 3 and activating the drive motor 5, the cleaning rod 3 slides on the mounting plate 1, driving the cleaning disc 4 to scrape and clean the hull surface. This effectively removes the barnacles from the hull. Simultaneously, the spray component 6 sprays water onto the cleaning disc 4 to soften the barnacles and aid in the cleaning process.
