Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power equipment cleaning technology, specifically a cleaning device for power equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Electrical equipment mainly includes two categories: power generation equipment and power supply equipment. In order to ensure the normal operation of electrical equipment and extend its service life, regular maintenance and upkeep are essential, and cleaning electrical equipment is an indispensable part of maintenance and upkeep.

[0003] A Chinese patent with publication number CN221387768U discloses a cleaning device for power equipment maintenance, relating to the technical field of cleaning devices. This utility model includes a U-shaped base, with a mounting plate fixedly connected inside. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the top of the mounting plate, and a limiting groove is formed at the top of the rotating rod. A sliding rod is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod. The U-shaped base has a sliding groove, and a through groove is formed on its inner side. Through the cooperation of a servo motor, connecting rod, limiting groove, and fixed cylinder, the rotating rod is driven to reciprocate along the inner wall of the through groove at a certain arc. Simultaneously, the sliding rod and sliding groove work together to drive the fixed cylinder to swing synchronously, thereby realizing the reciprocating cleaning operation of the nozzle and further improving cleaning efficiency.

[0004] Existing cleaning equipment for power equipment may cause water to splash into the equipment if the water pressure is too high during rinsing, leading to short circuits or other electrical faults. Rinsing alone is insufficient to thoroughly remove stubborn dirt from the equipment surface. Furthermore, power equipment parts are generally air-dried after cleaning, which is slow and can leave water stains or cause corrosion on the equipment surface. Therefore, a new cleaning equipment for power equipment is proposed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and solve the problems mentioned in the background, this utility model proposes a cleaning device for power equipment.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A cleaning device for power equipment, comprising a housing, a hollow tube rotatably installed inside the housing, a rotating cylinder fitted on the outer surface of the hollow tube, a wiping sponge fitted on the outer surface of the rotating cylinder, multiple water outlet pipes connected to the hollow tube, and the other end of each water outlet pipe connected to the wiping sponge, an electric motor installed on the outer wall of the housing, the output end of the electric motor connected to one end of the hollow tube, a water tank provided on the top side of the housing, a pump body installed on the water tank, a water suction pipe connected to the input port of the pump body, a water pipe channel connected to the output port of the pump body, and the other end of the water pipe channel rotatably connected to the hollow tube, a fixing plate installed on the top side of the housing, three sleeves fixedly connected to the fixing plate, a telescopic rod slidably fitted inside each sleeve, and a spring fixedly connected between the telescopic rod and the sleeve, the ends of the three telescopic rods being fitted with... Equipped with a scraper, the cleaning device uses a rotating drum to hold the wiping sponge against the surface of the electrical equipment during cleaning. The motor is started, causing the hollow tube to rotate the drum and wiping sponge. Simultaneously, the pump is activated, allowing cleaning solution from the tank to flow into the hollow tube and then through the outlet pipe to the wiping sponge. The operator holds a hollow rod and moves the cleaning device along the outer surface of the electrical equipment. The rolling friction between the wiping sponge and the equipment surface removes dirt. During the cleaning process, the spring and telescopic rod ensure the scraper remains in contact with the equipment's outer surface and moves with the wiping sponge, effectively removing residual water and preventing water stains from leaving marks or causing secondary pollution. This ensures that residual water is removed immediately after wiping, keeping the equipment surface dry and clean, which helps reduce the risk of corrosion or short circuits caused by moisture residue.

[0007] Preferably, two fixing sleeves are fixedly connected to the top side of the fixing plate, and a cavity tube is installed on the two fixing sleeves. Multiple air outlet pipes are connected to the cavity tube. A heating box is installed on the top side of the shell, and an air pipe channel is connected between the heating box and the cavity tube. A heating wire is installed inside the heating box, and two air inlets are opened on the top side of the heating box. A blower is installed in each of the two air inlets, and the blower is positioned above the heating wire. After the power equipment is cleaned, in order to ensure that the surface of the equipment dries quickly, the blower operates, and with the cooperation of the heating wire, the heated high-temperature gas flows into the cavity tube through the air pipe channel, and finally is sprayed onto the surface of the power equipment through the air outlet pipes. This ensures that the surface of the equipment can be dried evenly and quickly. Rapid drying of the surface of the power equipment can reduce the risk of corrosion or short circuit caused by residual moisture.

[0008] Preferably, two fixing blocks are installed on the side wall of the housing, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected between the two fixing blocks. A rotating sleeve is fitted on the connecting rod, and a movable rod is installed on the rotating sleeve. A hollow rod is slidably fitted on the movable rod. When using the device, the rotating sleeve on the connecting rod allows the rotating sleeve to rotate freely around the connecting rod. This design increases the flexibility of the movable rod, enabling it to be operated at different angles.

[0009] Preferably, the hollow rod has a groove, and a sliding rod is installed in the groove. One end of the sliding rod is fixed to the movable rod, and the other end of the sliding rod is rotatably fitted with a locking cap. When using the device, the movable rod slides freely in the hollow rod, and the movable rod drives the cleaning device to move. When the cleaning device moves to a suitable height, the locking cap is used to fix the movable rod, so that the height of the cleaning device can be adjusted as needed to adapt to different power equipment or different cleaning positions.

[0010] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0011] 1. In cleaning electrical equipment, this utility model involves placing the wiping sponge on the rotating drum against the surface of the cleaning equipment. The motor is started, causing the hollow tube to rotate the drum and wiping sponge. Simultaneously, the pump is activated, allowing cleaning fluid from the water tank to flow into the hollow tube and then through the outlet pipe to the wiping sponge. The operator holds the hollow rod and moves the cleaning device along the outer surface of the electrical equipment. Through the rolling friction between the wiping sponge and the surface of the electrical equipment, stains are wiped away. During the cleaning process, the cooperation of the spring and telescopic rod ensures that the scraper remains in contact with the outer surface of the electrical equipment and moves with the wiping sponge. This allows the scraper to remove residual water stains from the surface of the electrical equipment, preventing water stains from leaving marks or causing secondary pollution. It also ensures that residual water stains are removed immediately after wiping, keeping the equipment surface dry and clean. This helps reduce the risk of corrosion or short circuits caused by residual moisture.

[0012] 2. After the electrical equipment is cleaned, in order to ensure that the equipment surface dries quickly, a blower is used to operate the equipment. With the help of heating wires, the heated high-temperature gas flows into the cavity tube through the air pipe channel and is finally sprayed onto the surface of the electrical equipment through the air outlet pipe. This ensures that the equipment surface can be dried evenly and quickly. Rapid drying of the electrical equipment surface can reduce the risk of corrosion or short circuit caused by residual moisture. Attached Figure Description

The operator holds the hollow rod 26 and moves the cleaning device along the outer surface of the power equipment. Through the rolling friction between the wiping sponge 4 and the surface of the power equipment, the stains on the surface of the power equipment can be wiped away. During the cleaning process, through the cooperation of the spring 11 and the telescopic rod 9, the scraper 10 is always in contact with the outer surface of the power equipment, and the scraper 10 always moves with the wiping sponge 4, so that the scraper 10 can scrape away the water stains on the surface of the power equipment, avoiding water stains leaving marks on the equipment surface or causing secondary pollution. At the same time, it can ensure that the residual water stains are scraped away immediately after wiping, keeping the surface of the equipment dry and clean. This helps to reduce the risk of corrosion or short circuit caused by moisture residue.

[0025] Working Principle: Existing cleaning equipment for electrical equipment suffers from problems. Excessive water pressure during rinsing can cause water to splash into the equipment, leading to short circuits or other electrical malfunctions. Rinsing alone is insufficient to thoroughly remove stubborn dirt from the equipment surface. Furthermore, electrical equipment components are typically air-dried after cleaning, which is slow and can leave water stains or cause corrosion. Therefore, this invention addresses these issues by proposing a new cleaning device for electrical equipment. During cleaning, the hollow rod 26 is held to ensure the wiping sponge 4 on the rotating drum 3 adheres to the surface of the cleaning device. The motor 6 is started, causing the hollow tube 2 to rotate the rotating drum 3 and the wiping sponge 4. Simultaneously, the pump 20 is activated, allowing the cleaning solution in the water tank 19 to flow into the hollow tube through the water pipe channel 21. Inside the core tube 2, the water flows through the outlet pipe 5 to the wiping sponge 4. The operator holds the cavity rod 26 and moves the cleaning device along the outer surface of the electrical equipment. Through the rolling friction between the wiping sponge 4 and the surface of the electrical equipment, the stains on the surface of the electrical equipment can be wiped away. During the cleaning process, through the cooperation of the spring 11 and the telescopic rod 9, the scraper 10 is always in contact with the outer surface of the electrical equipment, and the scraper 10 always moves with the wiping sponge 4, so that the scraper 10 can scrape away the water stains remaining on the surface of the electrical equipment, avoiding water stains leaving marks on the equipment surface or causing secondary pollution. At the same time, it can ensure that the residual water stains are scraped away immediately after wiping, keeping the surface of the equipment dry and clean. This helps to reduce the risk of corrosion or short circuit caused by moisture residue.

[0026] After the electrical equipment is cleaned, in order to ensure that the equipment surface dries quickly and prevent corrosion or short circuit risks caused by residual moisture, the blower 18 is used to operate. With the help of the heating wire 17, the heated high-temperature gas flows into the cavity tube 13 through the air pipe channel 16 and is finally sprayed onto the surface of the electrical equipment through the air outlet pipe 14. This ensures that the equipment surface can be dried evenly and quickly. Rapid drying of the electrical equipment surface can reduce the risk of corrosion or short circuit caused by residual moisture.
