Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of unmanned vehicle coding ruler cleaning technology, and in particular to a fully automatic cleaning device for unmanned vehicle coding rulers. Background Technology
[0002] Unmanned overhead cranes are advanced lifting equipment that achieve remote control and automated operation through intelligent technology. These cranes are typically equipped with multiple sensors and safety devices, enabling them to complete various complex lifting and handling tasks without human intervention. Unmanned overhead cranes can work continuously, unaffected by human fatigue or rest periods. Furthermore, thanks to their advanced sensor and control systems, they can complete lifting and handling tasks quickly and accurately, improving work efficiency. With technological advancements and the development of intelligent systems, unmanned overhead cranes are finding increasingly widespread applications in various fields. A coding ruler is a high-precision measuring and detection instrument. During operation, the unmanned overhead crane uses the coding ruler's measuring elements to detect linear displacement and convert it into corresponding codes, indicating its absolute position for the next step of the program execution.
[0003] Because the existing encoders are installed outside the equipment, dust, cobwebs, and other debris can accumulate on their surface in dusty environments, causing the reader to deviate when reading the encoder data, thus affecting the quality of the train operation. During daily production, it is necessary to manually clean the dust and other foreign objects off the encoder surface regularly. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a fully automatic cleaning device for unmanned vehicle encoder rulers. It solves the technical problem that existing encoder rulers are installed outside the equipment, and in dusty environments, dust, cobwebs, and other debris adhere to the surface of the encoder ruler, causing deviations when the encoder reader reads the encoder ruler data, thus affecting the quality of vehicle operation. In daily production, manual cleaning of dust and other foreign objects on the encoder ruler surface is required.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] An automatic cleaning device for an unmanned vehicle encoder ruler includes an unmanned vehicle encoder ruler and an air compressor. A regulating valve is installed at the air outlet of the air compressor, and a 2-point PU hose is installed on the regulating valve. A T-shaped bracket is installed on the air compressor, and a nozzle is provided on the end of the 2-point PU hose away from the regulating valve.
[0007] Preferably, the 2-point PU hose and the T-shaped bracket are arranged parallel to each other.
[0008] Preferably, both the 2-point PU hose and the nozzle are mounted on a T-shaped bracket.
[0009] Preferably, the 2-point PU hose is located above the encoder ruler of the unmanned vehicle.
[0010] Preferably, the two nozzles are aligned with the front and rear positions of the unmanned vehicle's encoder ruler, respectively.
[0011] Preferably, the air compressor consists of a motor, an air tank, a pressure gauge, and a mounting base.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This equipment is low-cost, with the main cost being an air compressor costing a few hundred yuan. When the air compressor is working, it compresses air, and the high-pressure air is delivered to the nozzle through a 2-point PU hose. The nozzle moves synchronously with the crane above the track, continuously blowing away dust from the encoder scale and the inside of the groove, thus cleaning up dust and foreign objects in a timely manner. This improves the accuracy of the code reader in reading data, reduces the equipment failure rate, and improves the efficiency and quality of the unmanned crane operation, achieving the company's goal of reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

[0017] This application provides a fully automatic cleaning device for unmanned crane encoder rulers, effectively solving the problem that existing encoder rulers, installed externally in dusty environments, accumulate dust and cobwebs on their surface, causing deviations in data reading by the reader and affecting the quality of crane operation. In daily production, manual cleaning of dust and other foreign objects on the encoder ruler surface is required periodically. This device is low-cost, with the main cost being an air compressor costing several hundred yuan. The air compressor compresses air, and the high-pressure air flows through a 2-point PU hose to the nozzle. The nozzle moves synchronously above the track with the crane, continuously blowing away dust and debris from the encoder ruler and its grooves, improving the accuracy of data reading by the reader, reducing equipment failure rates, and increasing the efficiency and quality of unmanned crane operation, thus achieving the enterprise's goal of cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Example
[0018] like Figure 1As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the technical problem that existing encoder rulers, installed outside the equipment, accumulate dust, cobwebs, etc. on their surface in dusty environments, causing deviations in the reader's reading of the encoder ruler data, thus affecting the quality of the crane operation. Furthermore, it necessitates manual periodic cleaning of the encoder ruler surface by hand during daily production. The overall concept is as follows: A fully automatic encoder ruler cleaning device for unmanned cranes includes an unmanned crane encoder ruler and an air compressor 1. A regulating valve 2 is installed at the air outlet of the air compressor 1, and a 2-point PU hose 3 is installed on the regulating valve 2. A T-shaped bracket 4 is installed on the air compressor 1. A nozzle 5 is provided on the end of the 2-point PU hose 3 furthest from the regulating valve 2. The 2-point PU hose 3 and the T-shaped bracket 4 are arranged parallel to each other. Both the 2-point PU hose 3 and the nozzle 5 are mounted on the T-shaped bracket 4. The 2-point PU hose 3 is located on the unmanned crane... Above the gantry crane's encoder, two nozzles 5 are positioned at the front and rear of the encoder, respectively. The air compressor 1 consists of a motor, an air tank, a pressure gauge, and a mounting base. During use, the air compressor 1 is first installed and fixed on the large beam platform below the encoder. Then, the 2-point PU hose 3 and nozzles 5 are installed on the T-shaped bracket 4. A regulating valve 2 is installed at the air outlet of the air compressor 1 to adjust the airflow and optimize the nozzle's blowing effect. When the gantry crane is powered on, the air compressor 1 starts working. At this time, the air compressor 1 compresses air, and the high-pressure air is delivered to the nozzles 5 through the regulating valve 2 and the 2-point PU hose 3. The nozzles 5 move synchronously with the gantry crane above the track, continuously blowing away dust from the encoder and the grooves inside, promptly cleaning dust and foreign objects from the encoder's surface. When the gantry crane finishes its work, the main contactor disconnects the power supply, and the air compressor 1 stops operating.
[0019] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a fully automatic cleaning device for unmanned vehicle encoder rulers. This equipment is low-cost, with the main cost being an air compressor costing a few hundred yuan. When the air compressor is working, it compresses air, and the high-pressure air is delivered to the nozzle through a PU hose. The nozzle moves synchronously with the vehicle above the track, continuously blowing away dust and debris from the encoder ruler and the grooves inside, thus improving the accuracy of the data read by the reader, reducing the equipment failure rate, and improving the operating efficiency and quality of the unmanned vehicle, thereby achieving the enterprise's goal of reducing costs and increasing efficiency.
[0020] in:
[0021] Working principle:
[0022] When using, first install the air compressor 1 on the large beam platform below the encoder and fix it. Then install the 2-point PU hose 3 and nozzle 5 on the T-shaped bracket 4. Install the regulating valve 2 at the air outlet of the air compressor 1 to regulate the air volume and make the nozzle spraying effect the best.
[0023] When the crane starts to run, the air compressor 1 is powered on and starts to work. At this time, the air compressor 1 compresses air, and the high-pressure air is delivered to the nozzle 5 through the regulating valve 2 and the 2-point PU hose 3. The nozzle 5 runs synchronously with the crane above the track and continuously blows away the dust inside the unmanned crane's encoder scale and groove, and cleans the dust and foreign objects on the surface of the unmanned crane's encoder scale in a timely manner. When the crane finishes its work, the power supply of the crane's main contactor is disconnected, and the air compressor 1 loses power and stops running.
[0024] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
