Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disinfection device technology, specifically to a cleaning and disinfection device for escalator handrails. Background Technology
[0002] Escalator handrails are an important component of escalators. They not only provide safety for passengers but also play a vital role in enhancing the riding experience and aesthetics. Handrails provide stable support for passengers, especially during the start-up, stop, or operation of the escalator, effectively preventing imbalance or falls caused by inertia.
[0003] During the use of escalators, the handrails are the main parts that come into contact with people. Disinfecting the surface can effectively prevent bacterial growth and cross-infection. The common disinfection method is to manually spray disinfectant on the surface. In order to reduce labor costs, an automatic disinfection device needs to be designed to disinfect escalator handrails. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cleaning and disinfection device for escalator handrails to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: It includes a vertical plate and a horizontal plate. The horizontal plate is fixed to the upper end of the vertical plate and is arranged in an L-shape with the vertical plate. The outer side of the vertical plate is mounted on a vacuum suction cup via a rotating rod. The upper end of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the outer side of the vertical plate and fixed by a locking bolt. The bottom of the rotating rod is fixedly connected to the vacuum suction cup. A spray pipe is provided at the middle position of the bottom of the horizontal plate, and a nozzle is provided on the spray pipe. Rotating brushes are rotatably connected to the bottom of the vertical plate at both ends of the nozzles.
[0006] Preferably, a liquid storage tank is fixed to the outside of the upright plate, and a connecting pipe and a booster pump are fixed to the upper end of the liquid storage tank. The end of the connecting pipe is fixedly connected to the spray pipe.
[0007] Preferably, two pairs of rollers are installed at the bottom of the horizontal plate, and a transmission component is provided between the rollers and the rotating brush.
[0008] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a drive groove and a mounting groove. The mounting groove is formed inside the end plate and corresponds to the position of the rotating brush. Each pair of rollers is connected by a drive shaft. The drive groove is formed inside the horizontal plate and is aligned with the mounting groove.
[0009] Preferably, the drive shaft passes through the drive groove and is fixed with a drive bevel gear. A transmission shaft is rotatably connected between the drive groove and the mounting groove. Transmission bevel gears are fixed at both ends of the transmission shaft. A driven bevel gear that rotates synchronously with the rotating brush is rotatably connected in the mounting groove. The driven bevel gear and the drive bevel gear mesh with the corresponding transmission bevel gear.
[0010] Preferably, the outer surface of the roller is provided with an anti-slip pad, and the bottom of the roller is aligned with the bottom of the rotating brush.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the use of a booster pump to spray the disinfectant in the storage tank onto the handrail, and the installation of rotating brushes at both the front and back, which can spread the disinfectant evenly and clean the dust on the surface of the handrail, eliminating the need for manual spraying and making the operation simpler.

[0017] 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.
[0018] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a technical solution: including a vertical plate 1 and a horizontal plate 3. The horizontal plate 3 is fixed to the upper end of the vertical plate 1 and is arranged in an L-shape with the vertical plate 1. The outer side of the vertical plate 1 is mounted on a vacuum suction cup 2 via a rotating rod 21. The upper end of the rotating rod 21 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the vertical plate 1 and is fixed by a locking bolt. The bottom of the rotating rod 21 is fixedly connected to the vacuum suction cup 2. A spray pipe 43 is provided at the middle position of the bottom of the horizontal plate 3, and a nozzle 44 is provided on the spray pipe 43. Rotating brushes 5 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the vertical plate 1 and at both ends of the nozzles 44. A liquid storage tank 4 is fixed to the outer side of the vertical plate 1. A connecting pipe 42 and a booster pump 41 are fixed to the upper end of the liquid storage tank 4. The end of the connecting pipe 42 is fixedly connected to the spray pipe 43.
[0019] Two pairs of rollers 6 are installed at the bottom of the horizontal plate 3. A transmission assembly is provided between the rollers 6 and the rotating brush 5. The outer surface of the rollers 6 is provided with anti-slip pads. The bottom of the rollers 6 is aligned with the bottom of the rotating brush 5. The transmission assembly includes a drive groove 63 and a mounting groove 51. The mounting groove 51 is opened in the end plate and is located at a position corresponding to the rotating brush 5. Each pair of rollers 6 is connected by a drive shaft 61. The drive groove 63 is opened in the horizontal plate 3 and is aligned with the mounting groove 51. The drive shaft 61 passes through the drive groove 63 and is fixed with a drive bevel gear. A transmission shaft 7 is rotatably connected between the drive groove 63 and the mounting groove 51. Transmission bevel gears 71 are fixed at both ends of the transmission shaft 7. A driven bevel gear 52 that rotates synchronously with the rotating brush 5 is rotatably connected in the mounting groove 51. The driven bevel gear 52 and the drive bevel gear mesh with the corresponding transmission bevel gear 71.
[0020] Working principle: First, connect the entire device to an external power source. Then, rotate the rotating rod 21 to a specified angle and fix it. Next, use the vacuum suction cup 2 to adhere it to the escalator glass to fix the entire device. During this process, the bottom of the roller 6 needs to be pressed against the upper surface of the escalator handrail to ensure the sliding of the escalator handrail. This drives the roller 6 to roll, which in turn drives the drive shaft 61 and the drive bevel gear to rotate. The rotation of the transmission shaft 7 and the transmission bevel gear 71 drives the rotating brush 5 to rotate. The booster pump 41 pressurizes the liquid storage tank 4, allowing the disinfectant to be sprayed out from the nozzle 44 through the connecting pipe 42 and onto the handrail surface to achieve the purpose of disinfection. The rotation of the front rotating brush 5 can clean the dust on the handrail surface. After spraying the disinfectant, the rotation of the rear rotating brush 5 can spread the disinfectant more evenly on the handrail surface to achieve a better disinfection effect. No manual continuous spraying is required, making the operation simpler.
