Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of water conservancy engineering cleaning equipment, and in particular to a water conservancy rockfill dam rockfill cleaning equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Water conservancy projects are vital infrastructure projects concerning the national economy and people's livelihood. They aim to regulate and utilize water resources to prevent floods and benefit humankind. Their construction and management must comprehensively consider natural conditions, social needs, and economic benefits to ensure the long-term stable operation and sustainable development of the projects.
[0003] In water conservancy projects, rockfill dams are widely used due to their simple structure, readily available materials, and flexible construction. Rockfill dams are dams formed by piling up natural stones, and their main functions are water storage, flow regulation, and flood control. However, over time, the surface of rockfill dams often accumulates deposits such as soil, vegetation, and other sediments. If these deposits are not removed in a timely manner, they can have various impacts on the later use of the dam. First, deposits increase water flow resistance, affecting the hydraulic performance of the dam and reducing its water storage and drainage efficiency. Especially during the flood season, if the dam surface is covered with deposits, it may lead to obstructed water flow and increase the risk of overflow. Second, the presence of deposits accelerates erosion and damage to the dam, especially at its base and joints, potentially reducing the dam's stability. Third, the growth of plant roots can damage the dam structure, further affecting its safety. Utility Model Content

The gear transmission group 62 consists of a driving wheel, a toothed belt and two sets of driven wheels. It is a common transmission structure and will not be described in detail here. Two sets of limiting rollers are set on both sides of the toothed belt to improve the tension of the toothed belt. After the two sets of driven wheels rotate, they drive the threaded rod 63 to rotate.
[0037] Specifically, the outer side of the threaded rod 63 is threadedly connected to a threaded sleeve 64, a lifting plate 65 is fixed to one side of the threaded sleeve 64, and the outer side of the threaded sleeve 64 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting bracket 5.

[0038] By setting the threaded rod 63, the threaded sleeve 64 can be easily lifted and lowered. By setting the threaded sleeve 64, the lifting plate 65 can be easily adjusted in height. It should be noted that the output end of the second motor 71 passes through the inner wall of the lifting plate 65 and is connected to the turntable 72. Therefore, the lifting plate 65 can drive the second motor 71 and the turntable 72 to adjust in height.
[0039] Specifically, two sets of connecting plates 8 are fixed on both sides of the lifting plate 65. Multiple sets of rollers 9 rotate on the inner walls of the multiple sets of connecting plates 8, and the outer sides of the rollers 9 are in rolling connection with the outer side of the mounting frame 5.
[0040] By using the connecting plate 8 and rollers 9 together, the stability of the lifting plate 65 during lifting can be easily improved.
[0041] Example 3:
[0042] This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which is based on the first two embodiments.
[0043] Specifically, a support hoop 10 is fixed to the top of the support frame 2, and a fixing hoop 11 is provided on the top of the support hoop 10, with the high-pressure nozzle 43 located between the support hoop 10 and the fixing hoop 11.
[0044] By setting the support hoop 10, it is easy to connect with the fixing hoop 11. Through the cooperation of the support hoop 10 and the fixing hoop 11, the high-pressure nozzle 43 can be easily clamped and fixed.
[0045] Specifically, a latch 12 is fixed on one side of the support hoop 10, a lever 13 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the fixing hoop 11, and locking rods 14 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the lever 13, with the outer side of the locking rods 14 engaging with the inner wall of the latch 12.
[0046] By using the locking buckle 12, the lever 13 and the locking rod 14 together, it is easy to connect and lock the support hoop 10 and the fixing hoop 11, and it is also easy to disassemble the support hoop 10 and the fixing hoop 11.
[0047] Specifically, two sets of push rods 15 are fixed to the top of the base plate 1, and four sets of casters 16 are provided at the bottom of the base plate 1.
[0048] By using push rod 15 and four sets of moving wheels 16 in combination, the main body can be easily moved.
[0049] Working principle: When using this rockfill dam cleaning equipment, the equipment is first pushed onto the rockfill dam to be cleaned via push rod 15 and four sets of moving wheels 16. Then, water tank 3 is filled with clean water, and high-pressure water pump 41 is turned on. After starting, the high-pressure water pump 41 introduces the clean water from water tank 3 into corrugated pipe 42 through a fixed pipe, and then into high-pressure nozzle 43 through corrugated pipe 42. The high-pressure nozzle 43 begins to wash away the deposits on the rockfill dam. When washing deposits at different locations on the rockfill dam, the height is adjusted first, and the first motor 61 is turned on. The first motor 61 drives the drive wheel to rotate, which in turn drives two sets of driven wheels to rotate simultaneously via a toothed belt. The two sets of driven wheels drive two threaded rods 63 to rotate, which in turn moves two sets of threaded sleeves 64. The threaded sleeves 64 move the lifting plate 65, which in turn drives the second motor 71 and turntable 72 to adjust the height, thereby adjusting the height of the high-pressure nozzle 43. During the process, the corrugated pipe 42 will extend or retract accordingly as the high-pressure nozzle 43 moves. By reasonably designing the length and flexibility of the corrugated pipe 42, it is ensured that it will not entangle or break during height adjustment. After the height adjustment is completed, multi-angle rotation adjustment is performed. The second motor 71 is turned on, and the rotation of the second motor 71 drives the turntable 72 to rotate. The turntable 72 drives the connecting frame 73 to rotate, and the connecting frame 73 drives the fixed frame 74 to rotate, thereby driving the high-pressure nozzle 43 to adjust the angle in the horizontal direction. Then the third motor 75 is turned on, and the rotation of the third motor 75 drives the connecting plate 76 to rotate. The connecting plate 76 drives the support frame 2 to rotate, and the support frame 2 drives the high-pressure nozzle 43 to adjust the angle in the vertical direction. During the multi-angle rotation, the corrugated pipe 42 will bend with the rotation of the high-pressure nozzle 43, ensuring that the corrugated pipe 42 will not be damaged during the bending process. After the height and multi-angle adjustment, the high-pressure nozzle 43 can thoroughly wash the attachments at different locations on the stone dam.
[0050] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
