Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-altitude equipment technology, and in particular to a tool for cleaning the exterior facade of buildings in conjunction with an aerial work vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of high-altitude building facade cleaning, existing technologies typically rely on a two-person operation mode, where one person operates the aerial equipment while the other holds a water gun for cleaning. However, this approach has significant drawbacks: First, single-person operation, with only one water gun in hand, severely limits cleaning efficiency, making it difficult to meet the demands for speed and efficiency; second, two-person operation not only increases labor costs but also requires a high degree of coordination between the two individuals, which is often difficult to achieve optimally in practice, leading to a decrease in overall work efficiency; furthermore, high-pressure operation poses potential safety risks, as the person holding the water gun is prone to losing balance under the impact of high-pressure water flow, increasing the likelihood of accidents. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, in order to solve the above problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tool for cleaning the exterior of buildings in conjunction with an aerial work platform, including: a connecting frame, a water pipe and a nozzle, wherein the water pipe is disposed on the connecting frame and connected to the connecting frame, and a plurality of nozzles are disposed on the water pipe and connected to the water pipe, wherein the water pipe is disposed at the upper end of the connecting frame, and a movable buckle is disposed at the lower end of the connecting frame, wherein the movable buckle is arranged in a "П" shape.
[0004] In another preferred embodiment, the water pipe extends along a first direction, and a plurality of the nozzles are provided on the water pipe, with an inlet on one side of the water pipe.
[0005] In another preferred embodiment, a ball valve is provided at the water inlet.
[0006] In another preferred embodiment, the connecting frame includes: a horizontal beam, a vertical beam, and a support beam. The vertical beam extends in a vertical direction, the horizontal beam extends in a first direction, and the support beam extends in a second direction. The horizontal beam is disposed between and connected to the two vertical beams, and the support beam is disposed at the upper end of the vertical beam and connected to the vertical beam. The support beam is disposed above the horizontal beam.
[0007] In another preferred embodiment, the movable buckle is disposed at the lower end of the vertical beam, and both ends of the water pipe are disposed at the upper end of the support beam and connected to the support beam.
[0008] In another preferred embodiment, the water pipe and the vertical beam are respectively disposed on both sides of the support beam.
[0009] In another preferred embodiment, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, the first direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the vertical direction.
[0010] In another preferred embodiment, each of the vertical beams is provided with a sliding groove, and each of the two inner walls of the sliding groove is provided with a limiting groove. One end of the movable buckle is located in the sliding groove, and the other end of the movable buckle extends out of the sliding groove. Limiting blocks are provided on both sides of one end of the movable buckle, and the limiting blocks are slidably disposed in the limiting groove.
[0011] In another preferred embodiment, a hook is also included, with one hook provided on one side of each of the support beams, the hook being located on the side of the vertical beam away from the water pipe.
[0012] The present invention, by adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, has the following positive effects compared with the prior art: By applying the present invention, a tool for cleaning the exterior facade of buildings in conjunction with an aerial work platform is proposed. By installing the device on one side of the aerial work platform's railing and connecting it to a water pipe, it only requires control by ground operators and does not require personnel to enter the aerial work platform's railing. This not only saves one person and reduces labor costs, but also avoids the risks of personnel using high-pressure water guns inside the aerial work platform's railing in traditional methods, especially in the case of vehicle tipping over, where traditional operation methods are very likely to cause personnel injury. In addition, due to its ease of operation, it also helps to improve work efficiency. Attached Figure Description
