The upper steel plate 106 of the conversion connection unit and the lower steel plate 201 of the cleaning unit are connected by bolts A107. After the excavator 5 removes the bucket, it can quickly connect to the conversion joint 1 of the device through the pins 101 using the quick converter of the excavator 5, and then carry out the foundation cleaning operation of the tunnel bottom slab.

[0020] Furthermore, the conversion connection unit includes a conversion connector 1, a pin 101, an ear sleeve 102, an ear plate 103, a connecting block 104, an upper rib plate 105, and an upper steel plate 106. The dimensions of the pin 101, ear sleeve 102, and ear plate 103 must correspond, and the thickness of the steel plate used in the conversion connector 1 should not be less than 10mm. Q345 steel plate is used, and it is also for balanced stress distribution. The ear plate 103 is a plate shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. The upper steel plate 106 has a vertical... Two parallel ear plates 103 are welded together; the two parallel ear plates 103 are fixedly connected by a connecting block 104; the narrow end of the ear plate 103 is welded and fixed to one side of the upper steel plate 106; the wide end of the ear plate 103 is provided with two ear sleeves 102; the two parallel ear plates 103 are respectively connected by two pins 101; the side of the upper steel plate 106 that is welded to the ear plate 103 is fixed by two parallel upper rib plates 105.

[0021] Further, the cleaning unit includes a brush head box 2, a lower steel plate 201, and a lower rib plate 203; the brush head box 2 is composed of a side plate 202, a reinforcing plate 204, a clamping plate 205, and steel wire ropes 206, wherein the thickness of the lower steel plate 201, the lower rib plate 203, the side plate 202, and the reinforcing plate 204 is not less than 10mm; multiple equally spaced clamping plates 205 are vertically welded to one side of the lower steel plate 201; both ends of the clamping plates 205 are welded and fixed to the lower steel plate 201 through the side plate 202; a reinforcing plate 204 is welded to the outer side of one end of the side plate 202, and the reinforcing plate 204 is tightly attached to the side plate to enhance the stress; one side of the side plate 202 is welded and fixed to the lower steel plate 201 through two lower rib plates 203; multiple steel wire ropes 206 are vertically filled between the multiple equally spaced clamping plates 205, and the clamping plates 205 and the... A groove is provided at the connection and fixing point of the wire rope 206 to increase the contact area between the clamping plate 205 and the wire rope 206, thereby improving the stability of the brush head. The clamping plates 205 are tightened and fixed by multiple bolts B207 passing through them. The thickness of the clamping plate 205 is not less than 20mm, and it is made of Q345 steel plate.

Bolts A107 and B207 are tightened with a torque wrench to ensure that the applied torque meets the specifications, thereby ensuring the reliability of the bolt connection and avoiding loosening due to insufficient torque or deformation or breakage of the bolts due to excessive torque.

[0022] When in use, after the device arrives on site, it is moved near the clearing work surface. First, the bucket of excavator 5, in conjunction with a transfer machine or dump truck, is used to clear large pieces of gravel. After the large pieces of gravel are cleared, the bucket of excavator 5 is removed, and the device is connected to its adapter 1 via the excavator 5's quick connector for tunnel floor clearing. During the clearing process, the device should be swept close to the rock surface, avoiding excessive pressure to prevent severe damage to the wire rope brush head.
