Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hydrogen storage well cleaning technology, specifically a rotating cleaning brush for hydrogen storage wells. Background Technology
[0002] A hydrogen storage well is a hydrogen storage facility buried about 150 meters underground and made of special materials. It has the characteristics of high safety factor and small footprint, and its footprint is only one-tenth of the commonly used above-ground hydrogen storage equipment. With the continuous development of hydrogen storage wells, there are more and more cleaning and maintenance equipment attached to hydrogen storage wells. Cleaning hydrogen storage wells is quite troublesome, which has led to the emergence of a rotating cleaning brush for hydrogen storage wells.
[0003] Currently available hydrogen storage well cleaning brushes are ordinary cleaning brushes, and there are no specially designed cleaning brushes for hydrogen storage wells. Generally, the inner wall of the hydrogen storage well is cleaned manually by rinsing with water, which is slow and time-consuming. Therefore, a rotating cleaning brush for hydrogen storage wells is proposed, which can use a multi-stage telescopic rod to extend and rotate to clean the inner wall of the hydrogen storage well, which is more efficient and saves manpower. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a rotating cleaning brush for hydrogen storage wells. It features a multi-stage telescopic rod that can extend and rotate to clean the inner wall of the hydrogen storage well, resulting in high efficiency and labor savings. This solves the problem of slow efficiency and time-consuming manual cleaning of the inner wall of the hydrogen storage well by flushing water simultaneously.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned goal of using multi-stage telescopic rods to extend and rotate for cleaning the inner wall of hydrogen storage wells with high efficiency and saving manpower, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a rotating cleaning brush for hydrogen storage wells, including a workbench, a mounting frame fixedly installed on the top of the workbench, and a cleaning mechanism provided on the outside of the mounting frame;
[0006] The cleaning mechanism includes a motor, a multi-stage electric telescopic rod body, a connecting block, auxiliary electric telescopic rods, connecting rods, pulleys, fixed rods, and roller brushes. The motor is fixedly mounted on the outside of the mounting frame. The output end of the motor is provided with the multi-stage electric telescopic rod body. The bottom of the multi-stage electric telescopic rod body is fixedly connected to the connecting block. Auxiliary electric telescopic rods are provided on both sides of the connecting block. Connecting rods are fixedly connected to the separating surfaces of the two auxiliary electric telescopic rods. Pulleys are provided on the outside of the two connecting rods. Fixed rods are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the two auxiliary electric telescopic rods. Roller brushes are provided on the outside of the two fixed rods.
[0007] Furthermore, a mounting bracket is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench, and a controller is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting bracket.
[0008] Furthermore, a toolbox is fixedly installed on the top of the workbench, and a measuring tape is installed inside the toolbox.
[0009] Furthermore, a water tank is provided at the bottom of the workbench, and a water pipe is provided on the outside of the water tank.
[0010] Furthermore, four support columns are fixedly installed at the bottom of the workbench, and each of the four support columns is equipped with a brakeable omnidirectional wheel at its bottom.
[0011] Furthermore, the controller is electrically connected to the multi-stage electric telescopic pole body and the two auxiliary electric telescopic poles via wires.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] This rotating cleaning brush for hydrogen storage wells, through its cleaning mechanism, first pushes the worktable to the top of the hydrogen storage well using brakeable casters when cleaning is needed. This aligns the multi-stage electric telescopic rod with the wellhead. The controller then activates the multi-stage electric telescopic rod, causing the roller brush to descend into the well. The auxiliary electric telescopic rod is then activated, causing two pulleys to gradually touch the inner wall of the well before stopping. Next, a water pipe is removed from the tank and water is released into the wellhead. The motor is then controlled to rotate, causing the roller brush to clean the inner wall of the well. This cleaning mechanism, using a multi-stage telescopic rod, extends and rotates to clean the inner wall of the hydrogen storage well, resulting in high efficiency and saving manpower.
