Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning device technology, and in particular to a device for cleaning sludge during pipeline construction. Background Technology

[0002] Pipeline construction involves excavating trenches, laying pipes, and backfilling earth to build underground water and sewage pipelines. For trench-buried pipelines, water and silt can easily accumulate after trench excavation, reducing the bearing capacity of the foundation, causing uneven settlement during pipeline laying, failure of joint seals, and affecting the compaction of backfill soil, leading to pipeline damage or blockage later on. Therefore, cleaning is necessary.

[0003] In existing technologies, after rain, there will be water and silt accumulation in the trenches where pipelines are buried. The silt needs to be cleaned out. If manual labor is used, it is quite laborious, and the silt will settle at the bottom of the trench and will not flow with the water. Using a silt pump is also difficult to clean it completely. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a pipeline construction silt cleaning device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a pipeline construction sludge cleaning device.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

A first circular through-hole is formed on the top surface of the bucket. The drive shaft of the hydraulic motor is movably connected to the first circular through-hole. A power steering unit is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the drive shaft and fixedly mounted to the bucket. Screws are fixedly mounted on both ends of the power steering unit.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a water tank is fixedly installed on the top surface of the tracked vehicle, and a PLC controller is fixedly installed on the operating platform of the tracked vehicle. The booster pump and the sludge pump are electrically connected to the PLC controller respectively.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a battery compartment is fixedly installed on the top surface of the tracked vehicle, and the battery compartment is electrically connected to the PLC controller.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model, a fixing pipe is fixedly sleeved on the inner circular wall surface of the outlet of the sludge pump.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] By using tracked vehicles, buckets, power steering systems, and augers in coordination, the silt in trenches can be effectively cleaned without manual cleaning by construction personnel.

The cleaning assembly is located on the top surface of the bucket 2 and includes a hydraulic motor 6, which is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the bucket 2. A first circular through hole is provided on the top surface of the bucket 2, and the drive shaft of the hydraulic motor 6 is movably connected to the first circular through hole. A power steering gear 3 is fixedly mounted on the bottom surface of the drive shaft of the hydraulic motor 6. The power steering unit 3 is fixedly installed with the bucket 2. The two ends of the power steering unit 3 are respectively fixedly installed with augers 4. The two sides of the bucket 2 are respectively provided with fixing holes 5, which are movably connected with the augers 4. The rear side of the bucket 2 is provided with a second circular through hole, and the inner circular wall of the second circular through hole is fixedly connected with a suction pipe 12. A sludge pump 7 is provided on one side of the bucket 2. The inner circular wall of the inlet of the sludge pump 7 is fixedly connected with the suction pipe 12. The top surface of the bucket 2 is provided with a crushing mechanism for crushing hard sludge.

[0025] In this embodiment, the crushing mechanism includes: a first connecting pipe 10, which is disposed on the top surface of the bucket 2. A plurality of nozzles 11 are connected to the outer circular wall of the first connecting pipe 10. A plurality of third circular through holes are opened on the top surface of the bucket 2. The inner circular wall of the third circular through holes is fixedly sleeved with the nozzles 11. A solenoid valve 9 is fixedly sleeved on the outer circular wall of the first connecting pipe 10. A second connecting pipe 18 is fixedly sleeved on the inner circular wall of the solenoid valve 9. A fixing plate 17 is fixedly installed on one side of the tracked vehicle 1. A booster pump 8 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the fixing plate 17. The water inlet of the booster pump 8 is fixedly sleeved with the second connecting pipe 18.

[0026] In this embodiment, a water tank 15 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the tracked vehicle 1, and a PLC controller is fixedly installed on the operating platform of the tracked vehicle 1. The booster pump 8 and the sludge pump 7 are electrically connected to the PLC controller. A battery compartment 16 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the tracked vehicle 1.

[0027] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0028] During production, the water tank 15 is connected and fixed to the inlet of the booster pump 8 via a pipe through the tracked vehicle 1. During use, the tracked vehicle 1 is driven into the trench where the pipe is laid, and the sludge is discharged by connecting the sludge pipe to the fixed pipe 19.

[0029] Thus, the hydraulic cylinder 13 is activated to drive the bucket 2 to rotate. The rotating bucket 2 contacts the ground, thereby activating the tracked vehicle 1 to move and push the bucket 2 to scoop up the silt. At the same time, the hydraulic motor 6 is activated to drive the power steering 3 to rotate, which in turn drives the two augers 4 to rotate. The rotating power steering 3 pushes the silt towards the center. Simultaneously, the silt pump 7 is activated to suck up the silt through the suction pipe 12. The silt is mixed with water. However, when the silt is relatively dry, the booster pump 8 is activated to extract water from the water tank 15 and pressurize it. The solenoid valve 9 is activated to spray water through the first connecting pipe 10 and the nozzle 11 to wet and crush the silt, so that it can be sucked away by the silt pump 7. This avoids the silt drying out and becoming impossible to clean, ensuring the operation of the equipment. By moving and cleaning simultaneously, the tracked vehicle 1 achieves thorough cleaning of the silt, facilitating the laying of pipelines.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
