Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of tower technology, specifically a tower outer wall cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of industry, various towers (such as wind power towers and chemical towers) have been widely used in energy production, chemical processing and other fields. The cleaning of the outer wall of the tower is crucial to ensuring the normal operation of the equipment, extending its service life and maintaining a good appearance. However, the existing methods for cleaning the outer wall of the tower mainly rely on manual cleaning.

[0003] Towers are typically quite tall, and manual cleaning requires workers to operate at heights. In such environments, workers are susceptible to the effects of wind and tower vibrations, and a slight misstep could lead to a fall, seriously threatening their lives. Workers need to move up and down the outer wall of the tower and repeatedly use tools such as brushes and rags to clean it, which is extremely demanding and can easily lead to fatigue. Prolonged work not only increases the intensity of labor but also reduces work efficiency. Therefore, we have proposed a tower outer wall cleaning device. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tower outer wall cleaning device, comprising a tower body, an annular component connected to the top of the tower body via a connecting portion, and a cleaning assembly disposed at the bottom of the annular component.

[0005] The cleaning assembly includes a lead screw, which is located at the bottom of the annular component. The top of the lead screw is connected to a rotary motor. The lead screw is connected to an arc-shaped component via a first moving component. A high-pressure nozzle is provided on one side of the arc-shaped component near the tower body, and the other side of the arc-shaped component is connected to the cleaning liquid tank via a delivery pipe.

[0006] Preferably, the cleaning assembly further includes a second movable component, which is disposed above the first movable component and connected to a scraper. The front end of the scraper contacts the tower body. During the movement of the cleaning assembly, the scraper can scrape off the dirt on the outer wall of the tower, further improving the cleaning effect and more effectively removing stubborn dirt.

[0007] Preferably, the cleaning assembly has four sets, which are evenly distributed around the tower body. The distance between each set of arc-shaped components is 10-30cm, ensuring that all parts of the outer wall of the tower can be effectively cleaned. This distance range can ensure the coordination between the cleaning components and the coverage of the cleaning liquid spray, avoiding cleaning dead corners.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the tower body is provided with a receiving groove, the lead screw is set in the receiving groove, the receiving groove has a discharge port for collecting wastewater and dirt generated during the cleaning process, and the lead screw is set in the receiving groove, which not only protects the lead screw, but also facilitates the collection of wastewater.

[0009] Preferably, the front end of the scraper is detachably provided with a flexible material, which is rubber or silicone. The use of the flexible material allows the scraper to better conform to the shape of the outer wall of the tower, improving the scraping effect. At the same time, the detachable design facilitates the replacement of the flexible material and extends the service life of the scraper.

[0010] Preferably, a pump body is provided between the delivery pipe and the cleaning fluid tank to provide power for the delivery of the cleaning fluid, ensuring that the cleaning fluid can be delivered stably and efficiently to the high-pressure nozzle, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and effect.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] During operation, the annular frame is installed on top of the tower body via the connecting part. Four sets of cleaning components are evenly distributed, covering the 360° outer surface of the tower. The rotary motor drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the first moving part to move up and down along the lead screw, pushing the arc-shaped part to move along the tower axis. The liquid in the cleaning tank is pressurized by the pump and transported to the high-pressure nozzle through the delivery pipe, forming a jet that impacts the dirt on the tower surface. The second moving part drives the scraper to stick tightly to the tower surface, scraping off the adhering substances that cannot be removed by high-pressure water. The flexible material ensures the fit between the scraper and the outer wall of the tower, avoiding scratching the tower surface. The receiving trough at the bottom of the tower receives the falling wastewater and treats it centrally through the discharge port. When the cleaning components have completed the up and down movement of the outer wall of the tower and the outer wall of the tower has been cleaned, the rotary motor stops working, the pump also stops delivering the cleaning liquid, the motor reverses, and drives the cleaning components to reset, waiting for the next operation. There is no need for staff to climb the tower for cleaning, which greatly improves the cleaning speed and can more thoroughly remove oil, rust, dust and other contaminants from the outer wall of the tower, ensuring the cleaning quality.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Depend on Figure 1 As shown, this utility model includes a tower body 1, with an annular component 3 connected to the top of the tower body 1 via a connecting part 2, and a cleaning assembly disposed at the bottom of the annular component 3.

[0018] The cleaning assembly includes a lead screw 4, which is located at the bottom of the annular component 3. The top of the lead screw 4 is connected to a rotary motor 5. The lead screw 4 is connected to an arc-shaped component 7 via a first moving component 6. A high-pressure nozzle 8 is provided on the side of the arc-shaped component 7 near the tower body 1. The other side of the arc-shaped component 7 is connected to the cleaning liquid tank 10 via a delivery pipe 9.

[0019] The cleaning assembly also includes a second movable part 11, which is positioned above the first movable part 6. The second movable part 11 is connected to the scraper 12, and the front end of the scraper 12 contacts the tower body 1. During the movement of the cleaning assembly, the scraper can scrape off the dirt on the outer wall of the tower, further improving the cleaning effect and more effectively removing stubborn dirt.

[0020] The cleaning components consist of four sets, which are evenly distributed around the tower body 1.

This distance range ensures both the coordination between the cleaning components and the coverage of the cleaning fluid spray, avoiding cleaning dead spots.

[0021] The bottom of the tower body 1 is provided with a receiving trough 13, and the lead screw 4 is set in the receiving trough 13. The receiving trough 13 has a discharge port for collecting wastewater and dirt generated during the cleaning process. The lead screw is set in the receiving trough, which not only protects the lead screw, but also facilitates the collection of wastewater.

[0022] The front end of the scraper 12 is detachably equipped with a flexible material, which is rubber or silicone. The use of the flexible material allows the scraper to better conform to the shape of the outer wall of the tower, improving the scraping effect. At the same time, the detachable design makes it easy to replace the flexible material and extend the service life of the scraper.

[0023] A pump is installed between the delivery pipe 9 and the cleaning fluid tank 10 to provide power for the delivery of the cleaning fluid, ensuring that the cleaning fluid can be delivered stably and efficiently to the high-pressure nozzle, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

[0024] Working principle: During operation, the annular frame is installed on the top of the tower body 1 via the connecting part 2. Four sets of cleaning components are evenly distributed, covering the 360° outer surface of the tower. The rotary motor 5 drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the first moving part 6 to move up and down along the lead screw, pushing the arc-shaped part 7 to move along the tower axis. The liquid in the cleaning liquid tank 10 is pressurized by the pump body and transported to the high-pressure nozzle through the delivery pipe 9, forming a jet that impacts the dirt on the tower surface. The second moving part drives the scraper to stick tightly to the tower surface, scraping away the adhesive that cannot be removed by high-pressure water. The flexible material ensures that the scraper can effectively remove dirt. The plate fits snugly against the outer wall of the tower to prevent scratching the tower surface. The receiving trough 13 at the bottom of the tower receives the falling wastewater and treats it centrally through the discharge port. Once the cleaning components have completed the up-and-down movement of the outer wall of the tower and the outer wall of the tower has been cleaned, the rotary motor 5 stops working, the pump also stops delivering cleaning fluid, the motor reverses, and drives the cleaning components to reset, waiting for the next operation. There is no need for staff to climb the tower for cleaning, which greatly improves the cleaning speed and can more thoroughly remove oil, rust, dust and other pollutants from the outer wall of the tower, ensuring the cleaning quality.
