Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gate technology, specifically a gate with a cleaning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A sluice gate is a control facility used to close and open a water discharge channel, and is an important component of hydraulic structures. Sluice gates are installed on the openings of structures such as spillways, bank spillways, discharge holes, hydraulic tunnels, and sluice gates to regulate flow, control upstream and downstream water levels, discharge floodwaters, and remove silt or floating debris. The most common type is the manual sluice gate, which typically consists of a gate plate (or valve plate) and an operating lever (or handwheel) connected to it. By rotating the handwheel or pushing / pushing the operating lever, the gate plate moves up and down (or left and right) within the gate frame, thereby opening or closing the fluid passage.

[0003] When existing manual gates are in use, the gate plate is immersed in water for a long time, which makes it easy for a lot of moss or debris to adhere to it. If it is not cleaned regularly, the chemical substances released will accelerate the corrosion of the gate plate, thereby reducing the service life of the gate plate. In addition, the attached moss and debris will indirectly increase the gravity that the gate plate has to overcome when moving upward, making it more difficult for the user to turn the handwheel, and will also accelerate the wear of the gate threads. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a gate with a cleaning mechanism is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem this utility model aims to solve is to provide a gate with a cleaning mechanism. This gate has cleaning scrapers that can slide up and down on both the front and rear sides of the gate plate. When the gate plate does not need to move, the driving rod is unlocked using a locking mechanism. The user can then manually push and pull the cleaning scrapers to move them up and down, cleaning the surface of the gate plate. When the gate plate needs to move, the driving rod can be locked using the locking mechanism. As the gate plate moves upward, the cleaning scrapers automatically complete the cleaning of the gate plate surface. Alternatively, the driving rod can be used to drive the cleaning scrapers to reduce the weight of the gate plate, then the driving rod can be locked, and the gate plate can be moved again for secondary cleaning. This design is more flexible and solves the technical problem in the prior art where the lack of efficient and flexible cleaning measures leads to the easy adhesion of moss and debris to the gate surface during use, accelerating the corrosion of the gate plate and the wear of the gate threads.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the embodiments of this application to solve its technical problem is:

[0006] A gate with a cleaning mechanism includes a gate frame, in which a gate plate is slidably mounted, and a drive screw is threadedly connected to the top of the gate frame. The bottom end of the drive screw is rotatably connected to the gate plate. When the drive screw is turned, it can drive the gate plate to move up and down. A guide rod assembly is mounted on the front and rear end faces of the gate frame, and a cleaning scraper that is slidably mounted on it and fits against the surface of the gate plate. A drive rod is slidably mounted on the gate frame, and its bottom end is fixedly connected to the cleaning scraper. The drive rod is used to drive the cleaning scraper to move up and down. The upper end face of the gate frame is equipped with a locking mechanism corresponding to the drive rod, which can lock the drive rod so that it cannot slide up and down. When the gate plate does not need to move, the locking mechanism unlocks the drive rod. At this time, the user can manually push and pull the cleaning scraper to move it up and down to scrape and clean the surface of the gate plate. When the gate plate needs to move, the locking mechanism can lock the drive rod. When the gate plate moves up, the cleaning scraper can automatically complete the scraping and cleaning of the gate plate surface.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the guide rod assembly includes a guide rod body with end mounting plates fixedly installed at both its upper and lower ends. The end mounting plates are bolted to the gate frame. This structural form enables the fixed installation of the guide rod body, thereby providing the necessary structural foundation for the sliding installation of the cleaning scraper.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the cleaning scraper includes a sliding scraper with end guides fixedly connected to both ends. The end guides are slidably sleeved on the guide rod body. This structure enables the sliding connection between the sliding scraper and the guide rod body to be achieved using the end guides.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the inner end face of the sliding scraper is fixed with a plurality of scraping protrusions arranged in an array. The cross-section of the scraping protrusions is serrated with the tip pointing downwards, and the scraping protrusions are made of flexible rubber material. The above structure can enhance the friction with moss and debris on the gate plate during cleaning, thereby improving the cleaning effect. At the same time, it can only play a cleaning role when the sliding scraper moves downwards, ensuring that the cleaned objects can fall and settle under the action of gravity.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the drive rod includes a sliding vertical rod that is slidably connected to the gate frame. Its bottom end is fixedly connected to the sliding scraper via an end connecting plate, and its top end is fixedly connected to a gripping crank. In use, the user grips the gripping crank to push and pull the sliding vertical rod to make it slide, thereby driving the sliding scraper connected to its bottom to move up and down.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the locking mechanism includes a passive clamping plate that fits against the sliding vertical rod, and a base. An adjusting screw is threadedly connected to the base. The front end of the adjusting screw is rotatably connected to an active clamping plate that is a mirror image of the passive clamping plate. A turning wheel is fixedly connected to the rear end of the adjusting screw. When the adjusting screw is turned by the turning wheel, the active clamping plate moves synchronously. When the active clamping plate moves toward the passive clamping plate, the combined action of the two can apply a compressive force to the sliding vertical rod, preventing it from sliding, thus achieving a locking effect. When the active clamping plate moves away from the passive clamping plate, the compressive force between the two disappears, and the sliding vertical rod can slide freely, thus achieving an unlocking effect.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the sliding groove inside the gate frame is provided with a mounting slot, in which a support rubber strip that fits against the gate plate is installed. This structure can reduce the frictional wear on the gate plate while ensuring the sealing effect, and can extend its service life.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the gate plate includes an inner support frame with a water-facing panel and a back-water panel fixedly connected to its two ends, and the water-facing panel is thicker than the back-water panel. The water-facing panel faces the water storage side, and the back-water panel faces the water discharge side. The above structure can ensure structural stability while making its front and rear sides flat, which is convenient for cleaning scrapers to clean its surface.

[0014] In summary, this utility model has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0015] The gate is equipped with cleaning scrapers that can slide up and down on both the front and rear sides of the gate plate. When the gate plate does not need to be moved, the locking mechanism unlocks the drive rod. At this time, the user can manually push and pull the cleaning scraper to move it up and down and scrape and clean the surface of the gate plate.

[0016] When the gate plate needs to be moved, the drive rod can be locked by the locking mechanism. When the gate plate moves up, the cleaning scraper can automatically clean the surface of the gate plate. Alternatively, the drive rod can be used to drive the cleaning scraper to clean the gate plate to reduce its weight. Then the drive rod can be locked, and the gate plate can be moved again for secondary cleaning. This method is quite flexible. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a gate with a cleaning mechanism, including a gate frame 1, in which a gate plate 2 is slidably mounted, and a drive screw 3 is threadedly connected to the top of the gate frame 1. The bottom end of the drive screw 3 is rotatably connected to the gate plate 2. When the drive screw 3 is turned, it can drive the gate plate 2 to move up and down. A guide rod assembly 4 is installed on the front and rear end faces of the gate frame 1, and a cleaning scraper 5 that is slidably mounted on it and fits against the surface of the gate plate 2. A drive rod 6 is slidably mounted on the gate frame 1, and its bottom end is fixedly connected to the cleaning scraper 5. The drive rod 6 is used to drive the cleaning scraper 5. The cleaning scraper 5 moves up and down. The upper end of the gate frame 1 is equipped with a locking mechanism 7 corresponding to the drive rod 6, which can lock the drive rod 6 so that it cannot slide up and down. When the gate plate 2 does not need to move, the locking mechanism 7 is used to unlock the drive rod 6. At this time, the user can manually push and pull the cleaning scraper 5 through the drive rod 6 to move it up and down and scrape the surface of the gate plate 2. When the gate plate 2 needs to move, the locking mechanism 7 can lock the drive rod 6. When the gate plate 2 moves up, the cleaning scraper 5 can automatically complete the scraping and cleaning of the surface of the gate plate 2.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the guide rod assembly 4 includes a guide rod body 41, with end mounting plates 42 fixedly installed at both its upper and lower ends. The end mounting plates 42 are bolted to the gate frame 1. The above structure can realize the fixed installation of the guide rod body 41, thereby providing the necessary structural foundation for the sliding installation of the cleaning scraper 5.

[0027] The drive rod 6 includes a sliding vertical rod 61 that is slidably connected to the gate frame 1. Its bottom end is fixedly connected to the sliding scraper 51 through the end connecting plate 63, and its top end is fixedly connected to a gripping crank 62. When in use, the user grips the gripping crank 62 to push and pull the sliding vertical rod 61 to make it slide, thereby driving the sliding scraper 51 connected to its bottom to move up and down.

[0028] In addition, the locking mechanism 7 includes a passive clamping plate 71 that fits against the sliding vertical rod 61, and a base 72. An adjusting screw 73 is threadedly connected to the base. The front end of the adjusting screw 73 is rotatably connected to an active clamping plate 74 that is a mirror image of the passive clamping plate 71. A turning wheel 75 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the adjusting screw 73. When the adjusting screw 73 is turned by the turning wheel 75, the active clamping plate 74 moves synchronously. When the active clamping plate 74 moves toward the passive clamping plate 71, the combined action of the two can apply a squeezing force to the sliding vertical rod 61, preventing it from sliding, thus achieving the locking function. When the active clamping plate 74 moves away from the passive clamping plate 71, the squeezing force between the two disappears, and the sliding vertical rod 61 can slide freely, thus achieving the unlocking function.

[0029] like Figure 2 - Figure 3 As shown, the cleaning scraper 5 includes a sliding scraper 51, with end guide cylinders 52 fixedly connected to both ends. The end guide cylinders 52 are slidably sleeved on the guide rod body 41. The above structure can realize the sliding connection between the sliding scraper 51 and the guide rod body 41 through the end guide cylinders 52. Among them, a number of scraping protrusions 53 are fixedly provided on the inner end face of the sliding scraper 51 in an array. The cross-section of the scraping protrusions 53 is serrated with the tip pointing downwards, and the scraping protrusions 53 are made of flexible rubber. The above structure can enhance the friction with moss and debris on the gate plate 2 during cleaning, improve the cleaning effect, and can only play a cleaning role when the sliding scraper 51 moves downwards, ensuring that the cleaned objects can fall and settle under the action of gravity.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, the sliding groove inside the gate frame 1 is provided with a mounting slot 11, in which a support rubber strip 12 that fits against the gate plate 2 is installed. This structure can reduce the frictional wear on the gate plate 2 while ensuring the sealing effect, and can extend its service life.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the gate plate 2 includes an inner support frame 21, with a water-facing panel 22 and a back-water panel 23 fixedly connected to its two ends respectively. The water-facing panel 22 is thicker than the back-water panel 23. The water-facing panel 22 faces the water storage side, and the back-water panel 23 faces the water discharge side. The above structure can ensure structural stability while making its front and rear sides flat, which is convenient for the cleaning scraper 5 to clean its surface.

[0032] The working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0033] The gate has cleaning scrapers 5 that can slide up and down on both the front and rear sides of the gate plate 2. When the gate plate 2 does not need to move, the driving rod 6 is unlocked by the locking mechanism 7. At this time, the user can manually push and pull the cleaning scraper 5 to move it up and down by the driving rod 6 to scrape and clean the surface of the gate plate 2. When the gate plate 2 needs to move, the driving rod 6 can be locked by the locking mechanism 7. When the gate plate 2 moves up, the cleaning scraper 5 can automatically complete the scraping and cleaning of the surface of the gate plate 2. Alternatively, the cleaning scraper 5 can be driven by the driving rod 6 to scrape and clean to reduce the weight of the gate plate 2. Then the driving rod 6 can be locked, and the gate plate 2 can be driven to move for a second cleaning. It is quite flexible to use.

[0034] The working principle of the locking mechanism 7 is as follows: when the adjusting screw 73 is turned by turning the wheel 75, the active clamping plate 74 will move synchronously. When the active clamping plate 74 moves toward the passive clamping plate 71, the combined action of the two can apply a squeezing force to the sliding vertical rod 61, making it unable to slide, which achieves the locking effect. When the active clamping plate 74 moves away from the passive clamping plate 71, the squeezing force between the two disappears, and the sliding vertical rod 61 can slide freely, which achieves the unlocking effect.

[0035] 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.
