Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of water tank cleaning technology, specifically a secondary water supply water tank cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Secondary water supply refers to the process by which units or individuals store and pressurize urban public water supply or self-built facility water supply, and then supply it to users or for their own use through pipelines. It is mainly established to compensate for the lack of pressure in municipal water supply pipelines and to ensure water supply for people living in high-rise buildings. In secondary water supply operations, secondary water supply tanks are widely used in the key link of safe water storage.

[0003] Existing secondary water supply tanks typically clean their interiors by spraying high-pressure water through nozzles. The entire tank is cleaned by rotating and lifting the nozzles. Currently, nozzle lifting is usually driven manually or by an electric motor. Manual operation is labor-intensive and inconvenient, especially for larger tanks. Electric motor-driven methods are energy-intensive, and in the application environment of the tank, improper operation during water leakage or sewage discharge can pose a risk of water ingress into the motor. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a solution that is significantly different from existing technologies, addressing the problem that existing solutions are too simplistic. It primarily offers a secondary water supply tank cleaning device to solve the problems mentioned in the background section. These problems include the high workload of manual operation during cleaning of existing secondary water supply tanks, the inconvenience of manual operation for larger tanks, the high energy consumption of motor-driven methods, and the potential for water ingress into motors if leaks occur or improper operation is performed during tank drainage.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A secondary water supply tank cleaning device includes a base, a water tank body mounted on the base, a lifting platform for supporting the water tank body mounted on the base, an adjusting component for supporting, fixing, or retracting the lifting platform mounted on the base, an annular water pipe inside the water tank body, high-pressure nozzles for switching the direction of water spraying mounted on the annular water pipe at an angle, and a transmission component inside the water tank body for assisting the rotation and lifting of the annular water pipe.

[0007] Preferably, a motor is provided on the base, and a rotating shaft is provided at the output end of the motor. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the base, and the end of the rotating shaft away from the motor is connected to the water tank body.

[0008] Preferably, the adjustment assembly includes a telescopic sleeve rod, which is mounted on the base. The end of the telescopic sleeve rod away from the base is connected to the lifting platform, and a spring is sleeved on the telescopic sleeve rod.

[0009] Preferably, the adjustment component further includes a locking block, which is slidably connected to the base and fits against the lower side of the lifting platform.

[0010] Preferably, the water tank body is provided with connecting water pipes for outputting or inputting water sources on both the lower side of one side and the upper side of the opposite side.

[0011] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a threaded rod, a rotating block is threaded onto the threaded rod, an annular water pipe is provided on the rotating block, and high-pressure nozzles with bidirectional nozzles are arranged in a circumferential array on the annular water pipe.

[0012] Preferably, the threaded rod is fitted with telescopic protective shells on both the upper and lower sides, and the telescopic protective shells are rotatably connected to the rotating block.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the high-pressure nozzle sprays water to clean the inside of the water tank, the recoil force generated by the sprayed water will drive the annular water pipe to rotate. In this way, the high-pressure nozzle will continuously rotate to spray water to clean at different angles, so there are no dead angles when cleaning the inside of the water tank. As the annular water pipe continuously drives the rotating block to rotate, the rotating block will descend along the threaded rod. This achieves automatic descent while the high-pressure nozzle sprays water for cleaning. This process is achieved independently without manual or motor drive, which not only reduces the amount of manual labor, but also prevents short circuits in the motor caused by water leakage when driven by a motor.

[0014] After the water tank body is cleaned by the high-pressure nozzle, the motor is started, which drives the water tank body to rotate 180°, flipping the water tank body over. At this time, the high-pressure nozzle is at the top again. When the high-pressure nozzle moves up and down, it pulls the telescopic protective shell to move up and down. The telescopic protective shell always wraps the threaded rod inside. In this way, when water is stored inside the water tank body, neither the high-pressure nozzle nor the threaded rod comes into contact with the water, preventing the stored water from causing pollution.

[0015] The present invention will be explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Please refer to the appendix carefully. Figures 1-5 A secondary water supply tank cleaning device includes a base 1, a water tank body 3 mounted on the base 1, a lifting platform 2 for supporting the water tank body 3 mounted on the base 1, an adjustment component for supporting, fixing or retracting the lifting platform 2 mounted on the base 1, an annular water pipe 12 inside the water tank body 3, a high-pressure nozzle 13 for switching the direction of water spraying mounted on the annular water pipe 12 at an angle, and a transmission component for assisting the rotation and lifting of the annular water pipe 12 inside the water tank body 3.

[0027] The specific operating procedure of this utility is as follows: The cleaning component is driven to clean the inside of the water tank body 3. When cleaning the inside of the water tank body 3, the cleaning component will continuously rotate to clean the inside of the water tank body 3. In this way, the cleaning component has no dead corners when cleaning the water tank body 3. As the cleaning component rotates, it will automatically descend to clean the entire inside of the water tank body 3. When the cleaning component descends to the bottom of the water tank body 3, the lifting platform 2 is driven to descend by the adjusting component. Then the water tank body 3 is rotated 180° and flipped over, so that the cleaning component returns to the top of the water tank body 3 to prevent the cleaning component from being soaked in the water stored inside the water tank body 3 and causing water pollution. After the water tank body 3 is flipped over, the lifting platform 2 is raised again by the adjusting component and fixed, so that the lifting platform 2 fits against the bottom of the water tank body 3 to support the water tank body 3.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A motor 4 is installed on the base 1. A rotating shaft 5 is installed at the output end of the motor 4. The rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the base 1. The end of the rotating shaft 5 away from the motor 4 is connected to the water tank body 3. A water pipe 9 for outputting or inputting water source is installed on the lower side of one side and the upper side of the opposite side of the water tank body 3.

[0029] Start motor 4, motor 4 drives rotating shaft 5 to rotate, rotating shaft 5 drives water tank body 3 to rotate, water tank body 3 rotates 180° and flips over. At this time, the connecting water pipe 9, which is the water outlet on the lower side of water tank body 3, rotates to the upper side of the other side to become the water inlet, while the water outlet, which was originally the upper water inlet, rotates to the lower side of the other side to become the water outlet.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 3 The adjustment component includes a telescopic sleeve 7, which is mounted on the base 1. The end of the telescopic sleeve 7 away from the base 1 is connected to the lifting platform 2. A spring 8 is sleeved on the telescopic sleeve 7. The adjustment component also includes a locking block 6, which is slidably connected to the base 1 and fits against the lower side of the lifting platform 2.

[0031] When the lifting platform 2 needs to be fitted under the water tank body 3 to support it, the locking block 6 is inserted into the base 1 and fits against the lower side of the lifting platform 2. The locking block 6 supports and restricts the lifting platform 2, preventing it from descending. When the water tank body 3 needs to rotate, the lifting platform 2 needs to descend to prevent affecting the rotation of the water tank body 3. Pulling the locking block 6 outward removes it from under the lifting platform 2. Without the restriction of the locking block 6, the water tank body 3 can rotate and press down on the lifting platform 2. The lifting platform 2 is equipped with a spring 8 and a telescopic sleeve 7 at the bottom, allowing the lifting platform 2 to retract into the base 1, thus not affecting the rotation of the water tank body 3.

[0032] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cleaning assembly includes a threaded rod 10, a rotating block 11 threadedly connected to the threaded rod 10, an annular water pipe 12 on the rotating block 11, and high-pressure nozzles 13 arranged in a circumferential array on the annular water pipe 12. Telescopic protective shells 14 are fitted on the upper and lower sides of the outer side of the threaded rod 10, and the telescopic protective shells 14 are rotatably connected to the rotating block 11.

[0033] The angle between the high-pressure nozzle 13 and the water pipe is set to 120°. This setting maximizes the recoil force when the nozzle sprays water. Each high-pressure nozzle 13 has a bidirectional opening, allowing the user to switch which opening is used for water spraying based on the thread direction of the threaded rod 10. The opening switching is achieved using a valve on the high-pressure nozzle 13. A water inlet is located on the top of the telescopic protective shell 14. The rotating block 11 has a pre-existing inner cavity, and the water inlet of the telescopic protective shell 14 remains connected to the inner cavity of the rotating block 11, ensuring continued communication even during relative rotation between the two. The rotating block 11 is also connected to the annular water pipe 12 via a pipeline. Water is delivered into the telescopic protective shell 14 by connecting the water pipe to a pre-installed inlet pipe on the upper telescopic protective shell 14. Water is supplied through the water inlet on the upper part of the rotating block 11 and then transported to the pre-opened inner cavity of the rotating block 11 through the telescopic protective shell 14. The rotating block 11 then transports the water into the annular water pipe 12 through the pipe, and then sprays the water out through the high-pressure nozzle 13. The sprayed water washes the inside of the water tank body 3. With the recoil force of the sprayed water, the high-pressure nozzle 13 drives the rotating block 11 to rotate through the annular water pipe 12. The rotating block 11 has a threaded hole that matches the threaded rod 10. In this way, when the high-pressure nozzle 13 sprays water, it will not only rotate to change the angle to wash the inside of the water tank body 3, but also continuously descend to change the height to wash the water tank body 3. As the rotating block 11 descends, it will drive the lower telescopic protective shell 14 to retract and the upper telescopic protective shell 14 to extend. The telescopic protective shell 14 always keeps the threaded rod 10 wrapped inside and does not come into contact with the water.

[0034] Meanwhile, the cleaning component is detachably connected inside the water tank body 3. If water needs to be stored inside the water tank body 3, the cleaning component can be removed from the water tank body 3 to prevent the cleaning component from being soaked inside the water tank body 3 and causing contamination of the stored water.

[0035] The present invention has been described above by way of example in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any non-substantial improvement made by adopting the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention to other occasions without modification, shall be within the protection scope of the present invention.
