Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the interdisciplinary field of water treatment equipment and automation technology, and in particular relates to a T-shaped water inlet intelligent cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] A T-shaped inlet trough is a common hydraulic facility design, typically used in water treatment plants, sewage treatment systems, or other applications requiring water flow distribution and management. Its shape resembles the letter T, hence the name. Intelligent cleaning machines refer to equipment that utilizes automation technology, sensor technology, and intelligent control systems to achieve automated cleaning operations.

[0003] Existing intelligent cleaning machines, when dealing with T-shaped water inlet tank cleaning tasks, can usually only clean T-shaped water inlet tanks of a specific width, resulting in poor versatility and adaptability. Once encountering T-shaped water inlet tanks of different specifications, special equipment needs to be replaced, increasing equipment investment and operating costs. Moreover, most cleaning brushes are arranged at a uniform height, which cannot form a high-low double-layer brushing mode. When cleaning the inner wall of the T-shaped water inlet tank, it is difficult to take care of both high and low areas, which can easily lead to dirt residue in high areas or incomplete cleaning in low areas. This results in low cleaning coverage and low efficiency, making it difficult to meet the actual needs of comprehensive cleaning of T-shaped water inlet tanks.

[0004] Therefore, there is a particular need for a T-shaped water inlet intelligent cleaning machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing intelligent cleaning machines, such as poor versatility for T-shaped water inlet tanks of different widths, the need to replace with special equipment which increases costs, and the uniform height arrangement of cleaning brushes which results in low cleaning coverage and low efficiency, making it difficult to meet comprehensive cleaning needs, this utility model provides an intelligent cleaning machine with a T-shaped water inlet tank.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical means: A T-shaped water inlet intelligent cleaning machine includes a base frame, a moving component, a guide block, a sliding plate, a connecting frame, a cleaning brush, a transmission component, an electric push rod, a pushing block, a drive component, a support frame, a brush, and a water spray component. Two sliding plates are slidably arranged side by side on the base frame. The moving component is located between the base frame and the two sliding plates. A guide block is fixedly connected to each sliding plate. Two connecting frames are arranged front and rear on each guide block. One connecting frame is fixedly connected to the guide block, and the other connecting frame is slidably connected to the guide block. Multiple cleaning brushes are rotatably arranged on the side of each connecting frame away from the base frame, spaced apart along a vertical direction. The transmission component is located between all connecting frames and all cleaning brushes. An electric push rod is installed on each guide block. The telescopic end of each electric push rod extends upward and is fixedly connected to a pushing block. The pushing block is fixedly connected to the corresponding connecting frame. The drive component is located at the lower part of the base frame. A support frame is installed on one side of the lower part of each of the two connecting frames. A brush is fixedly connected to the bottom end of each support frame. The water spray component is located at the top of the base frame.

[0007] Optionally, the moving component includes a first motor, a bidirectional screw, sliding blocks, and a rotating frame. The first motor is installed inside one side of the base frame, with its output shaft extending forward and fixed to the bidirectional screw via a coupling. The end of the bidirectional screw away from the first motor is rotatably connected to the front inner sidewall of the base frame. Two sliding blocks are arranged side by side with threads on the outside of the bidirectional screw, and their bottom surfaces form sliding contact with the inner bottom surface of the base frame. A rotating frame is rotatably installed on each side of each sliding block. Two adjacent rotating frames are staggered vertically to form an X-shaped structure, and two adjacent rotating frames are rotatably connected to the corresponding sliding plates.

[0008] Optionally, the transmission assembly includes a second motor, a rotating wheel, and a transmission frame. A second motor is mounted on the upper part of each connecting frame, and a rotating wheel is fixedly connected to each cleaning brush. The rotating wheel is located in the corresponding connecting frame, and the output shaft of each second motor is fixedly connected to the corresponding rotating wheel. A transmission frame is rotatably arranged between the vertically aligned multiple rotating wheels.

[0009] Optionally, the drive assembly includes a third motor and rollers. Multiple third motors distributed along a rectangular direction are mounted on the lower part of the base frame, and multiple rollers distributed along a rectangular direction are rotatably mounted. The bottom surface of each roller is lower than the base frame. The output shaft of each third motor is fixedly connected to the corresponding roller. The bottom surface of the brush is flush with the bottom surface of the roller.

[0010] Optionally, the water spray assembly includes a water tank, a water inlet, nozzles, connecting pipes, and support blocks. The water tank is installed at the top of the base frame, and the water inlet is fixed to its top. Multiple connecting pipes are fixed around the water tank, and a nozzle is fixed to the end of each connecting pipe. The three nozzles located on the front side are kept at the same horizontal height, with the nozzles facing downwards, and each is fixed to a support block between the two support frames and the base frame. The two nozzles on the left side are distributed vertically, with the nozzles facing left, and each is fixed to a support block between the two connecting frames on the left side. The two nozzles on the right side are also distributed vertically, with the nozzles facing right, and each is fixed to a support block between the two connecting frames on the right side. The nozzle of each nozzle adopts a flattened design, with a wide and flat shape.

[0011] Optionally, the water tank is located above two sliding plates, with its bottom surface in sliding contact with the top surface of the sliding plates.

[0012] Beneficial effects: 1. By setting the moving component, the position of the sliding plate can be flexibly adjusted, driving the cleaning brush to move laterally and automatically fit the inner side wall of the T-shaped water inlet tank of different widths, which significantly improves the versatility and adaptability of the equipment and is suitable for cleaning T-shaped water inlet tanks of various specifications.

[0013] By setting a sliding connecting frame and a fixed connecting frame on each guide block, and cooperating with an electric push rod and a push block to realize the upward movement of the sliding connecting frame, half of the cleaning brushes on the same side can rise to a high position, while the other half remains in a low position, forming a high-low double-layer brushing mode. The high-position cleaning brush is responsible for cleaning the high area of ​​the inner wall of the T-shaped water inlet, while the low-position cleaning brush is responsible for cleaning the low area, which significantly improves the cleaning coverage and efficiency.

[0014] 2. By setting up a water spray component, cleaning water can be evenly sprayed onto the inner bottom surface and left and right inner walls of the T-shaped water inlet before the scrubbing operation begins, which fully wets and pre-treats the dirt area, thereby softening the attached substances and improving the subsequent scrubbing effect.

[0021] Example: A T-shaped water inlet intelligent cleaning machine, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the assembly includes a base frame 1, a moving component, a guide block 6, a sliding plate 7, a connecting frame 8, a cleaning brush 9, a transmission component, an electric push rod 13, a push block 14, a drive component, a support frame 17, a brush 18, and a water spraying component. Two sliding plates 7 are slidably mounted side-by-side on the base frame 1, and are in close contact with each other, thereby closing the opening of the base frame 1. The moving component is positioned between the base frame 1 and the two sliding plates 7. A guide block 6 is welded onto each sliding plate 7, and each guide block 6 has two connecting frames 8 distributed front and rear. The front connecting frame 8 is fixedly connected to the guide block 6, and the rear connecting frame 8 is slidably connected to the guide block 6. Each connecting frame 8 is located away from the outer side of the base frame 1. The unit is equipped with three cleaning brushes 9 arranged at intervals along a vertical direction. The transmission assembly is located between all the connecting frames 8 and all the cleaning brushes 9. Each guide block 6 is bolted with an electric push rod 13. The telescopic end of each electric push rod 13 extends upward and is welded with a push block 14. The push block 14 is fixedly connected to the corresponding connecting frame 8 (i.e., the rear connecting frame 8 that slides on the corresponding guide block 6), thereby driving the connecting frame 8 to move up and down. The drive assembly is located at the lower part of the bottom frame 1. The lower front part of the two front connecting frames 8 is bolted with a support frame 17. A brush 18 is glued to the bottom end of each support frame 17. The water spray assembly is located at the top of the bottom frame 1.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the moving assembly includes a first motor 2, a bidirectional screw 3, a sliding block 4, and a rotating frame 5. The first motor 2 is bolted to the rear side of the inside of the base frame 1, and its output shaft extends forward and is fixedly connected to the bidirectional screw 3 via a coupling. The front end of the bidirectional screw 3 away from the first motor 2 is rotatably connected to the front inner side wall of the base frame 1. Two sliding blocks 4 are arranged side by side with threads on the outside of the bidirectional screw 3, and their bottom surfaces form sliding contact with the inner bottom surface of the base frame 1. A rotating frame 5 is rotatably arranged on each of the left and right sides of each sliding block 4. Two adjacent rotating frames 5 are staggered vertically to form an X-shaped structure, and two adjacent rotating frames 5 are rotatably connected to the corresponding sliding plate 7.

[0023] like Figure 4 As shown, the transmission assembly includes a second motor 10, a rotating wheel 11, and a transmission frame 12. A second motor 10 is bolted to the upper part of each connecting frame 8, and a rotating wheel 11 is welded to each cleaning brush 9. The rotating wheel 11 is located in the corresponding connecting frame 8. The output shaft of each second motor 10 is fixedly connected to the corresponding rotating wheel 11. A transmission frame 12 is rotatably arranged between the three vertically aligned rotating wheels 11 to realize power transmission.

[0024] like Figure 5 As shown, the drive assembly includes a third motor 15 and rollers 16. The lower part of the base frame 1 is bolted with four third motors 15 distributed along a rectangular direction, and four rollers 16 distributed along a rectangular direction are rotatably mounted thereon. The bottom surface of each roller 16 is lower than the height of the base frame 1 to support the base frame 1 and lift it off the ground. The output shaft of each third motor 15 is fixedly connected to the corresponding roller 16 to drive the roller 16 to rotate. The bottom surface of the brush 18 is flush with the bottom surface of the roller 16, so that the roller 16 can contact the inner bottom surface of the T-shaped water inlet tank together with the brush 18.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the water spray assembly includes a water tank 19, a water inlet 191, a nozzle 20, a connecting pipe 201, and a support block 21. The water tank 19 is bolted to the top of the base frame 1, and the water inlet 191 is welded to the left rear side of its top, facilitating the connection of a water supply pipe to the water tank 19. The water tank 19 is located above two sliding plates 7, with its bottom surface in sliding contact with the top surface of the sliding plates 7. The sliding plates 7 provide support for the water tank 19, effectively distributing its weight and thus better supporting its load-bearing requirements. Seven connecting pipes 201 are bonded around the water tank 19. The connecting pipes 201 are made of polyurethane, which has excellent wear resistance and elasticity, extending their service life. A nozzle is bonded to the end of each connecting pipe 201. 20, wherein the three nozzles 20 located on the front side are kept at the same horizontal height, with the nozzles facing downwards, and each is attached to a support block 21 between the two support frames 17 and the bottom frame 1. The two nozzles 20 located on the left side are distributed vertically, with the nozzles facing left, and each is attached to a support block 21 between the two connecting frames 8 on the left side. The two nozzles 20 located on the right side are also distributed vertically, with the nozzles facing right, and each is attached to a support block 21 between the two connecting frames 8 on the right side. The support blocks 21 can accurately fix the position of the nozzles 20, and the nozzle of each nozzle 20 adopts a flat design, which is wide and flat, so that the water flow forms a fan-shaped surface when sprayed, which helps the water flow to be more evenly distributed to the target area, thereby improving the water spraying effect and coverage.

[0026] In the initial state, the two sliding plates 7 are in contact with each other, closing the opening of the bottom frame 1, and the overall structure is compact. At this time, the cleaning brushes 9 on the left and right sides are in the innermost position, which makes it easy for the equipment to be smoothly placed into the T-shaped water inlet tank.

[0027] When the cleaning machine is needed to perform intelligent cleaning on the T-shaped water inlet tank, the operator first places the cleaning machine at the inlet of the T-shaped water inlet tank, and then starts the first motor 2. Its output shaft drives the bidirectional screw 3 to rotate clockwise. Under the drive of the bidirectional screw 3, the two sliding blocks 4 move inward synchronously, thereby driving the two X-shaped structures composed of four rotating frames 5 to gradually close. As the two X-shaped structures close, the two sliding plates 7 drive all the components on them to unfold outward, pushing the cleaning brushes 9 on the left and right sides to gradually approach and finally fit against the left and right inner walls of the T-shaped water inlet tank. At this time, the first motor 2 is turned off to complete the lateral positioning and ensure accurate alignment before the cleaning operation.

[0028] Next, start the electric push rod 13, control its telescopic end to extend, push the block 14 to rise, and drive the rear connecting frame 8 to move upward, so that the connecting frame 8 drives the cleaning brush 9 on it to rise, thus forming a staggered distribution with the cleaning brush 9 on the front connecting frame 8. When the rising cleaning brush 9 reaches the high area of ​​the inner wall of the T-shaped water inlet, the electric push rod 13 is stopped immediately, completing the precise vertical positioning of the cleaning brush 9, ensuring that the area of ​​different heights of the inner wall of the T-shaped water inlet can be effectively scrubbed.

[0029] Then connect the external water supply pipeline to the inlet 191, start injecting cleaning water into the water tank 19, start the third motor 15, its output shaft drives the roller 16 to rotate, so that the cleaning machine moves smoothly along the inside of the T-shaped water inlet trough, and at the same time start the second motor 10 to provide power for the rotation of the cleaning brush 9.

[0030] During the movement of the cleaning machine, the cleaning water in the water tank 19 is delivered to each nozzle 20 through the water supply pipeline. The seven nozzles 20 spray water from the front, left and right sides respectively, evenly covering the inner bottom surface and the left and right inner walls of the T-shaped water inlet. Then, the cleaning brush 9 begins to scrub the left and right inner walls of the T-shaped water inlet, while the brush 18 scrubs the inner bottom surface of the T-shaped water inlet.

[0031] During the scrubbing process, the second motor 10 drives the corresponding rotating wheel 11 to rotate clockwise. The rotating wheel 11 drives other rotating wheels 11 in the vertical direction to rotate synchronously through the transmission frame 12, thereby driving the vertically aligned cleaning brush 9 to rotate together. This combination of self-rotation and the movement of the cleaning machine can efficiently remove dirt and impurities from the inner walls of the left and right sides of the T-shaped water inlet tank, improving the overall cleaning effect.

[0032] After the cleaning operation is completed, turn off the second motor 10 and the third motor 15, and finally restart the first motor 2. Control its output shaft to drive the bidirectional screw 3 to rotate counterclockwise. Driven by the bidirectional screw 3, the two sliding blocks 4 move outward synchronously, thereby driving the two X-shaped structures composed of four rotating frames 5 to gradually unfold. As the two X-shaped structures unfold, the two sliding plates 7 drive all the components on them to retract inward, pulling the cleaning brushes 9 on the left and right sides away from the left and right inner walls of the T-shaped water inlet tank. At this time, turn off the first motor 2, remove the cleaning machine from the T-shaped water inlet tank, and perform necessary maintenance and cleaning for the next use.
