Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cable surface cleaning equipment, and in particular to a retractable cable surface cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] A cable is a device used to transmit electrical energy or signals, typically consisting of several or groups of conductors. It transmits power or information from one point to another and is widely used in power, communications, and many other fields. Cables are exposed to underground environments for extended periods, and their surfaces gradually accumulate various contaminants such as dust and oil. For example, in underground tunnels, cables may be contaminated by particulate matter from vehicle exhaust and dust raised by the engine. In coal mining areas, oil may adhere to the cable surface. If these contaminants are not cleaned promptly, they can cause numerous problems for the cable. Contaminants may corrode the cable sheath, shortening its lifespan. Dirt on the cable surface may affect its heat dissipation performance, increasing the risk of cable failure. However, cleaning cables often requires workers to use handheld rinsing tools or repeatedly wipe them with cloths. This not only consumes a lot of physical strength and energy but is also extremely inefficient, especially when dealing with cables located at higher positions, where workers cannot easily reach them with their own strength to perform a thorough cleaning.

[0003] In conclusion, developing a convenient cleaning device for cleaning the surface of cables located at high altitudes is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a retractable cable surface cleaning device, which solves the technical problem that it is difficult for operators to clean cables located at high places.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a retractable cable surface cleaning device, comprising:

[0006] The support rod is telescopic along its axis. The end of the support rod is equipped with a clamping shell, and a fastening shell is mated at the end of the clamping shell. The mating edges of the clamping shell and the fastening shell near the support rod are rotatably connected. The mating edges of the clamping shell and the fastening shell away from the support rod are equipped with magnetic parts. Each magnetic part is used to connect the clamping shell and the fastening shell, so that the clamping shell and the fastening shell are fitted around the outer periphery of the cable. The inner walls of the clamping shell and the fastening shell are equipped with a cleaning cloth.

[0007] Preferably, the support rod includes a first sleeve, a second sleeve, and a third sleeve that are sequentially fitted together. The side wall of the first sleeve is provided with a plurality of first locking holes. The side wall of the second sleeve is provided with a second locking hole and a first locking block that engages with the first locking hole. The side wall of the third sleeve is provided with a second locking block that engages with the second locking hole. All the first locking holes, second locking holes, first locking blocks, and second locking blocks are evenly arranged along the axial direction of the support rod. The length of the support rod can be changed by adjusting the engagement positions of each first locking hole and first locking block, and each second locking hole and second locking block.

[0008] Preferably, an elastic element connects the first and second locking blocks to the second and third sleeves, and the elastic element pushes the first and second locking blocks into the first and second locking holes, respectively. Specifically, the end of the first and second locking blocks away from the elastic element is an arc surface.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the third sleeve is threadedly connected to a bearing plate, and the bearing plate is provided with a universal joint. The other end of the universal joint is threadedly connected to the clamp shell, so that the clamp shell can swing in any direction.

[0010] Preferably, the clamp shell has a clamping plate on the edge near the support rod, and the fastening shell has a clamping groove on the side near the support rod. The groove is connected to the clamping plate, and a rotating component is inserted between the groove and the clamping plate. The rotating component is arranged along the length of the fastening shell.

[0011] Preferably, the end of the first sleeve opposite to the universal joint is provided with a handle, and the outer wall of the handle is provided with friction texture.

[0012] Preferably, the inner walls of both the clamp housing and the fastening housing are specifically provided with hook surfaces containing a plurality of hook-shaped fibers, and the cleaning cloth has a napped surface that adheres to the hook surfaces. The cleaning cloth is detachably disposed on the inner walls of the clamp housing and the fastening housing.

[0013] Compared to the aforementioned background technology, the retractable cable surface cleaning device provided by this utility model includes: a support rod, which is retractable along its own axis; a clamp shell connected to the end of the support part; and a fastening shell mating at the port of the clamp shell. The mating edges of the clamp shell and the fastening shell near the support rod are rotatably connected. That is, after the fastening shell rotates around the clamp shell by a certain angle, the mating edge of the fastening shell and the clamp shell away from the support rod opens, allowing the operator to insert the cable into the fastening shell and the clamp shell. Inside the cavity, several magnetic suction parts are provided at the mating edge of the fastening shell and clamp shell on the side away from the support rod. After the cable is placed into the fastening shell and clamp shell, the operator pushes the support rod upward. The support rod holds the fastening shell and clamp shell, so that the open edges of the two are brought closer to each other. Then the magnetic suction parts fasten the fastening shell and clamp shell together. At this time, the fastening shell and clamp shell surround the outer perimeter of the cable. The operator moves the support rod along the cable and cleans the surface of the cable by cleaning the pre-set cleaning surfaces on the inner walls of the clamp shell and fastening shell.

[0014] This invention allows for cleaning cables at different heights by adjusting the telescopic rod. Magnetic suction parts are provided at the joint edge of the fastening shell and the clamp shell to enhance the tightness when closed, enabling the cleaning device to be firmly fixed to the cable. This eliminates the need for operators to hold the device for extended periods, reducing labor intensity. Operators can easily control the entire device by pulling the support rod to move it along the cable and clean dust and impurities from the surface of the cable at higher locations.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] This utility model provides a retractable cable surface cleaning device. Please refer to the attached instruction manual. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 This includes a support rod 2, which can extend and retract along its own axis. A clamp shell 1 is connected to the end of the support rod 2. Preferably, the clamp shell 1 can be a cylindrical half-shell cut along the axis. A fastening shell 3 is connected to the cross-sectional port of the clamp shell 1. After the fastening shell 3 and the clamp shell 1 are connected, they form a closed cylindrical surface, which can surround the cable inside the fastening shell 3 and the clamp shell 1. The connecting edge of the fastening shell 3 and the clamp shell 1 near the support rod 2 is rotatably connected. A magnetic suction part 4 is provided on the connecting edge of both on the side away from the support rod 2. Preferably, the mating edge where the fastening shell 3 and the clamp shell 1 are rotatably connected is designated as the first mating part, and the edge where the two are mated via the magnetic attraction part 4 is designated as the second mating part. When the operator cleans the cable at a height, they can visually estimate the height of the cable and adjust the length of the support rod 2. When the vertical support rod 2 is aligned with the cable position, the magnetic attraction parts 4 of the second mating part are separated, creating an opening between the clamp shell 1 and the fastening shell 3 for the cable to pass through. The operator then raises the support rod 2 and places the cable between the clamp shell 1 and the fastening shell 3. At this point, the mating edges of the second mating part separate, causing the fastening shell 3 to rotate around the first mating part by a certain angle, thus securing the cable. The fixed shell 3 and the clamp shell 1 have a certain angle at the first docking part, and the angle points to the side of the cable. The operator pushes the support rod 2 upward, and the support rod 2 causes the angle formed between the fixed shell 3 and the clamp shell 1 to hold the side wall of the cable. The fixed shell 3 and the clamp shell 1 rotate towards the side closer to the cable. The magnetic attraction part 4 of the fixed shell 3 and the clamp shell 1 gradually approaches. When a certain distance is reached, the magnetic attraction part 4 attracts each other and places the cable inside the fixed shell 3 and the clamp shell 1. In addition, a cleaning cloth (not shown in the figure) is provided on the inner wall of the fixed shell 3 and the clamp shell 1. The operator drags the support rod 2 along the cable and removes dust and oil stains from the surface of the cable through the cleaning cloth on the inner wall.

[0025] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 2The clamp housing 1 extends a clamping plate 12 at the first docking part. Correspondingly, the fastening housing 3 is provided with a clamping groove 13 at the first docking part. The clamping groove 13 docks with the clamping plate 12. A rotating member 14 is provided between the clamping groove 13 and the clamping plate 12 after docking. The rotating member 14 is arranged along the axial direction of the clamp housing 1, so that the clamping plate 12 can rotate within the clamping groove 13. Preferably, there are two clamping plates 12 and two clamping grooves 13. Each clamping groove 13 and clamping plate 12 is located on both sides of the clamp housing 1 along the axial direction. The rotating member 14 is specifically a rotating shaft and a locking nut. The head of the rotating shaft and the locking nut are clamped on both sides of the clamping groove 13 to ensure that the clamp housing 1 and the fastening housing 3 can rotate stably.

[0026] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 3 With appendix Figure 5 The support rod 2 includes a first sleeve 21, with a handle 10 at the end of the first sleeve 21 for easy gripping of the cleaning device by the operator. A plurality of first locking holes 71 are evenly distributed along the axial direction on the side wall of the first sleeve 21. A second sleeve 22 is further fitted inside the first sleeve 21, with a first locking block 61 on the side wall of the second sleeve 22 that can mate with the first locking holes 71. Additionally, a second locking hole 72 is also provided on the side wall of the second sleeve 22. Both the second locking holes 72 and the first locking blocks 61 are evenly distributed along the axial direction of the second sleeve 22. A third sleeve 23 is provided inside the second sleeve 22, with a second locking block 62 on the side wall that mates with the second locking holes 72. It should be noted that the second sleeve 22 can slide within the first sleeve 21, and the third sleeve 23 can slide within the second sleeve 22. Preferably, each first locking block 61, second locking block 62, second sleeve 22, and third sleeve 23 is connected to an elastic element 5, and the elastic element 5 extends... The retraction direction is perpendicular to the support rod 2 and points towards the axis of the support rod 2. When the operator adjusts the length of the support rod 2, the second sleeve 22 and the third sleeve 23 are twisted around their own axis. The edges of the first locking blocks 61 and the second locking blocks 62, and the first locking holes 71 and the second locking holes 72 abut against each other, pushing the first locking blocks 61 and the second locking blocks 62 into the interior of the second sleeve 22 and the third sleeve 23. At this time, the second sleeve 22 and the third sleeve 23 can be arbitrarily placed inside the first sleeve 21 and the second sleeve 22. After sliding and adjusting the support rod 2 to a suitable length, screw the second sleeve 22 and the third sleeve 23 to align the first locking block 61, the second locking block 62 with the first locking hole 71 and the second locking hole 72. Each elastic element 5 holds the first locking block 61 and the second locking block 62, allowing them to pass through the first locking hole 71 and the second locking hole 72. The positions of the first sleeve 21, the second sleeve 22 and the third sleeve 23 are locked, and the length of the support rod 2 is locked. The operator can then send the clamp shell 1 and the fastening shell 3 to the target position.

[0027] Preferably, the ends of the first locking block 61 and the second locking block 62 that are away from the elastic member 5 are arc surfaces. The arc surfaces are used to guide the first locking block 61 and the second locking block 62 to slide out of the first locking hole 71 and the second locking hole 72, making the adjustment process of the support rod 2 easier. The side wall of the handle 10 is provided with friction texture to ensure that the operator can hold it firmly.

[0028] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 4 A bearing plate 8 is provided at the end of the third sleeve 23 away from the handle 10. The end face of the bearing plate 8 extends with a threaded part, which is screwed into the inner cavity of the third sleeve 23. A universal joint 9 is provided on the side of the bearing plate 8 away from the threaded part. The universal joint 9 is also connected to the clamp housing 1 through a threaded section. Preferably, a support ring extends from the connection between the universal joint 9 and the threaded section in a direction away from the axis of the threaded section. The support ring abuts against the outer wall of the clamp housing 1 to prevent swinging between the clamp housing 1 and the threaded section. Furthermore, a universal joint 9 is connected between the support rod 2 and the clamp housing 1. When the clamp housing 1 and the fastening housing 3 are fitted around the outer periphery of the cable, the support rod 2 can swing in any direction. The operator can swing the support rod 2 according to the cable routing direction to adjust the force angle and enhance the flexibility and adaptability of the device.

[0029] It should be noted that the cleaning cloth is detachably installed on the inner wall of the clamp housing 1 and the fastening housing 3. Preferably, the inner wall of the clamp housing 1 and the fastening housing 3 is provided with a hook surface 11 with a large number of hook-shaped fibers. Each hook-shaped fiber is elastic. The cleaning cloth is provided with a rough surface that can adhere to the hook surface 11. The retractable cable surface cleaning device with this structure can firmly connect the cleaning cloth to the inner wall of the clamp housing 1 and the fastening housing 3, which can facilitate the cleaning or replacement of the cleaning cloth and ensure that the cleaning cloth has a high cleaning efficiency.

[0030] It should be noted that in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity from several other entities, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities.

[0031] This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this utility model. The descriptions of the above embodiments are only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
