Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of road cleaning equipment, and in particular to an automatic road gravel collection device. Background Technology
[0002] After road surface repairs, a large amount of gravel, waste, and debris will remain on the road surface. If not cleaned up in time, it will threaten the driving safety of passing vehicles. Therefore, it needs to be cleaned up in a timely manner. However, most of the existing cleaning methods are manual sweeping, which requires repeated sweeping and has low cleaning efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the problem of low efficiency caused by the prevalence of manual road cleaning, this invention proposes an automatic road gravel collection device. A sweeping mechanism pushes gravel from a gravel shovel onto a conveyor belt, which then transports it to a conveyor plate. The gravel on the inclined conveyor plate rolls down into the first collection box under gravity. Grooves on the conveyor plate screen out smaller particles, which are then transported to the second collection box via a guide plate, completing the gravel cleaning and sorting process and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:
[0005] An automatic road gravel collection device includes a housing and a gravel shovel. The gravel shovel is fixed to one side of the housing, and mounting plates are fixed to both sides of the upper end of the gravel shovel. A sweeping mechanism is rotatably mounted on the mounting plates. The sweeping mechanism includes a first rotating shaft, multiple push plates, and push blocks. The first rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the mounting plates. The multiple push plates are circumferentially and evenly fixed on the first rotating shaft. The push blocks are fixed to the ends of the push plates away from the first rotating shaft and in contact with the upper side of the gravel shovel. An input port is opened on the side of the housing near the gravel shovel. A conveyor belt is inclinedly arranged inside the housing, with the lower end of the conveyor belt extending out of the input port and positioned on the gravel shovel. On one side of the stone shovel, the box is equipped with a removable gravel collection box, which includes a first collection box and a second collection box. The first collection box is located on the side of the second collection box away from the conveyor belt. The second collection box is equipped with an inclined conveyor plate, with the end of the conveyor plate closest to the conveyor belt being the highest point. The conveyor plate is used to transport gravel from the conveyor belt to the first collection box. The conveyor plate has multiple evenly spaced openings. The lower side of the conveyor plate is equipped with a guide plate to guide the gravel falling from the openings into the second collection box. Both ends of the lower side of the conveyor plate are equipped with guide plates, and the longitudinal section of the guide plates at both ends is shaped like an inverted "V".
[0006] The side of the housing is equipped with a power mechanism, which drives the cleaning mechanism and the conveyor belt to rotate.
[0007] Furthermore, the crushing shovel has an insertion groove on the side near the box that matches the end of the conveyor belt. The end of the conveyor belt extends into the insertion groove without contacting the crushing shovel, thus transporting the crushed stones on the shovel onto the conveyor belt as much as possible.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer surface of the conveyor belt is uniformly provided with multiple limiting strips. This improves the stability of the crushed stone on the conveyor belt, enabling the crushed stone to be transported stably on the conveyor belt.
[0009] Furthermore, the conveyor belt includes a conveyor belt and multiple drive rollers. The conveyor belt is sleeved on the outside of the multiple drive rollers. The drive rollers are rotatably disposed inside the housing. One end of one of the drive rollers is fixed with a second rotating shaft, which extends out of the housing and is connected to the output end of the power mechanism for transmission.
[0010] Furthermore, the power mechanism is a motor, which is connected to the first rotating shaft in a transmission connection, and the first rotating shaft is connected to the second rotating shaft in a transmission connection.
[0011] Furthermore, there are multiple cleaning mechanisms, and the first rotating shafts of the multiple cleaning mechanisms are connected by a transmission.
[0012] Furthermore, the lower part of the box is equipped with casters.
[0013] Furthermore, handrails are installed on the box.
[0014] Furthermore, an output port is provided on the side of the box away from the input port, the gravel collection box is placed inside the box and its end away from the input port is flush with the output port, and a handle is fixed on the side of the gravel collection box away from the input port.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model through the above technical solution are as follows: The power mechanism in this utility model drives the first rotating shaft, causing the push plate and push block on the first rotating shaft to rotate. The push block can push the small-diameter gravel on the gravel shovel onto the conveyor belt, and the push plate can push the large-diameter gravel on the gravel shovel onto the conveyor belt. Under the conveying action of the conveyor belt, the gravel is transported to the conveyor plate. The gravel on the inclined conveyor plate rolls into the first collection box under the action of gravity. The groove on the conveyor plate screens out the smaller-diameter part of the gravel. After passing through the guide plate, it is transported to the second collection box to complete the gravel cleaning and sorting operation, thereby improving the gravel cleaning efficiency and saving manpower.
