Detailed Implementation
[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0024] Example 1
[0025] In this embodiment, as Figures 1-4As shown, a cleaning mechanism for cleaning amusement park train tracks includes several hooks 101 for connecting to the train body. The cleaning mechanism moves via the train body, reducing energy consumption. The mechanism can be installed as a whole on one side of the train body with bolts and other components, matching the reserved interface of the train body to increase structural stability. A mounting frame 102 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hooks 101. The mounting frame 102 is equipped with a cleaning brush wheel 104 for cleaning the side of the track body 103. The cleaning brush wheel 104 is in contact with the surface of the track body 103. The style and size of the cleaning brush wheel 104 can be adjusted according to the style of the track body 103 to increase adaptability.
[0026] The mounting bracket 102 has a rotatable connecting shaft 105 inside. Brush rollers 106 for cleaning the top of the track body 103 are symmetrically fixed on the connecting shaft 105. Gear assemblies 200 are provided on both sides of the two brush rollers 106. The cleaning brush wheel 104 is connected to the connecting shaft 105 through the gear assembly 200. A drive component 300 is provided on one side of the connecting shaft 105 to drive the connecting shaft 105 to rotate. A spraying component 400 is provided on the side of the mounting bracket 102 away from the hook 101 for spraying rust inhibitor. A dust suction component 500 adapted to the cleaning brush wheel 104 is provided on the inner side and top of the mounting bracket 102 to reduce the area where dust is raised and scattered during the cleaning process.
[0027] Among them, such as Figure 2 Figure 4 As shown, the gear assembly 200 includes a protective box 201 sleeved on the outside of the connecting shaft 105 to prevent dust from affecting the transmission effect of the bevel gear. The protective box 201 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 102 via a bracket. The connecting shaft 105 is rotatably connected to the protective box 201. One end of the axle of the cleaning brush wheel 104 extends into the interior of the protective box 201 and is fixedly connected to the first bevel gear 202. The axle of the cleaning brush wheel 104 is rotatably connected to the protective box 201. A second bevel gear 203 meshes with one side of the first bevel gear 202. The specifications and dimensions of the first bevel gear 202 and the second bevel gear 203 are compatible. The second bevel gear 203 is fixedly installed on the connecting shaft 105. The drive motor 304, in conjunction with the gearbox 303, transmits power to the fourth bevel gear 302, which drives the third bevel gear 301 to mesh and transmit power. This allows the connecting shaft 105, the brush roller 106, and several second bevel gears 203 to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the cleaning brush wheel 104 to rotate and achieving the cleaning effect on the track body 103.
[0028] Among them, such as Figures 2-4As shown, the drive unit 300 includes a third bevel gear 301 fixedly mounted on the connecting shaft 105. A fourth bevel gear 302 meshes with the top of the third bevel gear 301. The specifications and dimensions of the third bevel gear 301 and the fourth bevel gear 302 are compatible. One end of the axle of the fourth bevel gear 302 extends to the outside of the mounting bracket 102 and is connected to the gearbox 303. The input end of the gearbox 303 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 304. The gearbox 303 is prior art and will not be described further here. The speed of the fourth bevel gear 302 can be adjusted through the gearbox 303, thereby increasing the overall stability of the mechanism.
[0029] Among them, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the spraying assembly 400 includes a liquid storage tank 401 and a pump 402 fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 102. The liquid storage tank 401 contains rust inhibitor, which can also be adjusted to other liquids such as water according to the actual environment. The spraying assembly 400 can spray rust inhibitor onto the track body 103. The track body 103 is mostly made of steel rail. The above structure can effectively prevent the track body 103 from rusting due to long-term exposure to air, thus extending its service life. The outlet end of the pump 402 is fixedly connected to a liquid outlet pipe 403. A valve body is provided on the outside of the liquid outlet pipe 403 to facilitate control of the rate and opening and closing status. One end of the liquid outlet pipe 403 extends into the interior of the mounting frame 102 and is connected to a liquid guide plate 404. Several spray pipes 405 are evenly arranged on the surface of the liquid guide plate 404. The liquid guide plate 404 is inclined towards the side closer to the track body 103, so that the sprayed liquid can effectively adhere to the surface of the track body 103 and achieve a protective effect.
[0030] Among them, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the dust collection assembly 500 includes a dust collection box 501 and a fan 502 fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 102. The dust collection assembly 500 can reduce the area where dust is raised and scattered during the cleaning process, thereby reducing the pollution effect on the air. A door is provided on one side of the dust collection box 501 to facilitate subsequent dust processing. Several conical suction ports 503 with a larger outer diameter and a smaller inner diameter are provided on the side walls and top wall of the mounting frame 102, which can increase the suction range and suction effect of the suction ports 503. The suction ports 503 on the side walls are arranged opposite to each other. The suction ports 503 are respectively located on the left and right sides and the top of the cleaning brush wheel 104 and the brush roller 106. The suction ports 503 are all connected to the dust collection box 501 through the conduit 504.
[0031] Among them, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, a filter screen is installed inside the dust collection box 501. The input end of the fan 502 is located on the side of the filter screen away from the box door, and the end of the duct 504 is located on the side of the filter screen close to the box door. The positions of the duct 504 and the input end of the fan 502 are limited to prevent dust sucked in by the fan 502 from entering the fan 502 and thus affecting its internal structure.
[0032] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, a controller 107 is provided on one side of the mounting bracket 102. The controller 107 is electrically connected to the drive motor 304, pump 402 and fan 502 in the mechanism, and also communicates with the control backend of the train body to facilitate the output and execution of commands.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] The difference from Example 1 is that, as in Example 1, Figure 5 As shown, a support frame 108 is also fixedly connected to one side of the bracket. An inclined plate 109 is installed on the support frame 108. A scraper 110 is slidably arranged inside the inclined plate 109. The scraper 110 is also inclined to increase the scraping effect. The scraper 110 is connected to the inner wall of the inclined plate 109 by a spring. The scraper 110 is used to remove stubborn stains or attachments on the track surface. The spring gives the scraper 110 the ability to extend, retract and automatically reset, reducing the probability of damage.
[0035] In use, the mechanism is first installed on one side of the train body so that the train body can move the entire mechanism after starting, so that the brush roller 106 and the cleaning brush wheel 104 can both contact the surface of the track body 103. After the drive motor 304 starts, the speed is adjusted by the gearbox 303, which drives the fourth bevel gear 302 to mesh with the third bevel gear 301, causing the connecting shaft 105 to rotate. This allows the connecting shaft 105 to drive the brush roller 106 to clean the top of the track. At the same time, the second bevel gear 203 drives the first bevel gear 202, causing the cleaning brush wheel 104 to clean the side of the track. During the cleaning process, the fan 502 and the pump 402 are turned on. The pump 402 draws rust inhibitor from the liquid storage tank 401 and sprays it evenly onto the track surface through the spray pipe 405. The fan 502 sucks in dust through the dust suction port 503. The dust is filtered by the filter screen and stored in the dust collection box 501 for subsequent cleaning.
[0036] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
