Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of lock technology, and in particular to a channel lock garbage cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] A lock is a navigation structure built on a waterway. When a ship travels upstream through the lock, the water level inside the lock chamber drops to the same level as the downstream water level. Then, the gate of the downstream lock head is opened, the ship enters the lock chamber, the gate is closed, water is pumped in, and once the water level rises to the same level as the upstream water level, the gate of the upstream lock head is opened, allowing the ship to exit the lock and pass through the upstream approach channel to continue upstream. When a ship travels downstream, the lock passage procedure is reversed.

[0003] Ship locks typically use A-frame gates. During the flood season, there are often large amounts of garbage and debris, including large tree stumps, in the lock channels. If these objects drift into the closing area of ​​the A-frame gates, they can prevent the gates from closing, affecting the operation of the ship locks and causing significant damage to the A-frame gates and the hydraulic cylinders that control their opening and closing. Therefore, when garbage and debris, especially large tree stumps, are present, they need to be retrieved.

[0004] Currently, there are generally two salvage methods. The first is to hang a basket on a crane, and salvage personnel stand inside the basket to retrieve the garbage and foreign objects. The second is to ask passing ships for help. However, the first salvage method is less efficient, and manual retrieval is time-consuming and laborious when encountering large foreign objects such as tree stumps. The second salvage method poses significant safety hazards because passing ships do not have specialized equipment.

[0005] Therefore, this application proposes a channel lock garbage cleaning device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to at least solve one of the technical defects described in the background art.

[0007] Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose a channel lock garbage cleaning device, which aims to solve the problem that in the existing technology, when garbage and foreign objects, or even large tree stumps, appear in the closing area of ​​the herringbone gate of the channel lock during the flood season, the retrieval method is inefficient, time-consuming and labor-intensive, and poses significant safety hazards.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, one embodiment of this utility model provides a channel lock garbage cleaning device, including two support rods and two U-shaped seats. The U-shaped seats are equipped with a gate fixing structure for fixing them to the gate. An elastic telescopic mechanism is fixedly installed inside the support rods. The elastic telescopic mechanism includes a cylinder and a piston rod. The piston rod can be guided and moved within the cylinder. An elastic portion is provided in both the cylinder and the piston rod. The piston rod can retract into the cylinder when subjected to force and can be reset and extended out of the cylinder under the elastic force of the elastic portion. The piston rod is fixed to the U-shaped seat, and a roller is rotatably connected to the U-shaped seat. A driving component is also installed on the U-shaped seat, and the output shaft end of the driving component is connected to the roller through a transmission mechanism to drive the roller to rotate.

[0009] Furthermore, the elastic telescopic mechanism is a gas spring.

[0010] Furthermore, the driving component is a motor, which is mounted on one side of the top of the U-shaped base.

[0011] Furthermore, a small pulley is fixedly installed at the output shaft end of the motor, and a large pulley is fixedly installed at the top end of the roller shaft. The small pulley and the large pulley are connected by a belt drive, and the small pulley, the large pulley, and the belt together form the transmission mechanism.

[0012] The beneficial effects are as follows: the drive component rotates through the drive roller shaft. When the herringbone gate closes, the rotating roller shaft can contact the garbage, foreign objects, and tree stumps in the closing area before the herringbone gate closes. Thus, the rotating roller shaft can convey the garbage, foreign objects, and tree stumps downstream, thereby eliminating the need for manual retrieval, saving time and effort, and ensuring safety.

[0013] Furthermore, the U-shaped seat is rotatably connected to a plurality of rollers on the side facing the gate fixing structure.

[0014] The beneficial effect is that when the herringbone gate is closed and the two rollers are under force, the force of the rollers perpendicular to the herringbone gate is supported by the rollers, so that the gas spring will not bend in the direction of the herringbone gate, thus improving the structural strength.

[0015] A preferred embodiment further includes a chute, and a slider adapted to the chute is fixedly connected to one side of the support rod, and the support rod is slidably connected to the chute; the roller is hollow, and a buoyancy block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support rod.

[0016] The beneficial effects are as follows: the chute is fixed on the herringbone gate, the support rod and U-shaped seat can slide up and down along the chute through the slider, and the roller and buoyancy block have buoyancy, so as the water level rises and falls, the roller and support rod can rise and fall along the direction of the chute. Therefore, the height of the support rod, U-shaped seat and roller can be reduced, thereby reducing the weight of the U-shaped seat and roller, and reducing the number of gas springs used, thereby reducing manufacturing costs and facilitating promotion.

[0017] Furthermore, a caster wheel is fixedly installed on the side of the U-shaped seat that is away from the gate fixing structure.

[0018] The beneficial effects are as follows: when the herringbone gate is closed, the force on the two rollers is supported by the caster wheel, which prevents the guide rod and gas spring from bending towards the herringbone gate. Furthermore, when the U-shaped seat slides up and down, the caster wheel can rotate, thus not affecting the up and down sliding of the U-shaped seat.

[0019] Preferably, one side of the U-shaped seat is fixedly connected to a guide rod, and the guide rod is slidably connected inside the support rod.

[0020] The beneficial effect is that the guide rod assists the gas spring in supporting the U-shaped seat and the roller shaft, thus preventing the gas spring from bending downwards due to the weight of the U-shaped seat and the roller shaft.

Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] This utility model provides a channel lock garbage cleaning device.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, it includes two support rods 1 and two U-shaped seats 2. Each of the two support rods 1 has a fixed leg 12 on one side. The leg 12 can be directly welded to the herringbone gate 6, or a fixing plate 13 can be welded to the end of the leg 12. The fixing plate 13 has a through hole. Then, the support rod 1 is fixed to the herringbone gate 6 by bolts through a threaded hole. A gas spring 11 is fixedly installed inside the support rod 1. The piston rod end of the gas spring 11 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped seat 2, realizing the elastic connection between the U-shaped seat 2 and the support rod 1. The gas spring 11 can support the U-shaped seat 2 and keep it in a vertical state. A roller 21 is rotatably connected inside the U-shaped seat 2. The roller 21 can rotate. When the herringbone gate 6 is closed, the rotation of the roller 21 can transport garbage and foreign objects and tree stumps located in the closing area of ​​the herringbone gate 6 to the downstream. In this embodiment, the support leg 12 is used to weld to the part of the herringbone gate 6 or to form a gate fixing structure by the through hole on the fixing plate 13 for bolts to be inserted and fixed to the herringbone gate 6.

[0033] A motor 22 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the U-shaped seat 2. A small pulley 23 is fixedly installed on the output shaft end of the motor 22. A large pulley 24 is fixedly installed on the top of the roller shaft 21. The small pulley 23 and the large pulley 24 are connected by a belt 25. The motor 22 drives the large pulley 24 to rotate through the belt 25 on the small pulley 23, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the roller shaft 21 to rotate.

[0034] The gas spring 11 includes a piston and a piston rod. The piston can be guided and moved within the piston rod, and the piston cylinder is sealed with an inert gas or an oil-gas mixture. When the external pressure on the piston increases, the density of the inert gas or oil-gas mixture sealed in the cylinder increases, its volume decreases, and the piston retracts back to the piston rod. When the external pressure on the piston disappears, the density of the inert gas or oil-gas mixture sealed in the cylinder decreases, its volume increases, and the piston is pushed out of the piston rod. Therefore, the inert gas or oil-gas mixture sealed in the cylinder essentially provides an elastic part. In other embodiments, the elastic part between the piston and the piston rod can also be replaced by a mechanical spring, forming another type of elastic telescopic mechanism.

[0035] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: In use, two support rods 1 are fixed on the two gates of the herringbone gate 6 respectively. The rollers 21 in the two U-shaped seats 2 are arranged opposite each other, and the rollers 21 protrude on one side of the gate. So when the herringbone gate 6 is closed, before the two gates are closed together, the two rollers 21 can contact the garbage and foreign objects and tree stumps in the closing area. The motor 22 drives the rollers 21 to rotate, so that the garbage and foreign objects and tree stumps can be transported downstream without manual retrieval. After the two rollers 21 are subjected to force, the gas spring 11 will contract, and the two rollers 21 will move to one side of the two gates of the herringbone gate 6 without affecting the closing of the two gates.

[0036] Example 2:

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, a guide rod 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the U-shaped seat 2, and the guide rod 3 is slidably connected inside the support rod 1. The guide rod 3 assists the gas spring 11 in supporting the U-shaped seat 2 and the roller shaft 21, avoiding the problem of the gas spring 11 bending downward due to the gravity of the U-shaped seat 2 and the roller shaft 21. A plurality of rollers 26 are rotatably connected to one side of the U-shaped seat 2. The rollers 26 abut against one side of the herringbone gate 6. Thus, when the herringbone gate 6 is closed and the two roller shafts 21 are subjected to force, the force of the roller shafts 21 perpendicular to the herringbone gate 6 is supported by the rollers 26, thereby preventing the guide rod 3 and the gas spring 11 from bending in the direction of the herringbone gate 6.

[0038] Example 3:

[0039] like Figure 3-4 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, it also includes a slide groove 4. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that a slider 41 adapted to the slide groove 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the support rod 1. The support rod 1 is slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove 4 through the slider 41. The slide groove 4 is welded and fixed to the herringbone gate 6. In use, the support rod 1 and the U-shaped seat 2 can slide up and down along the slide groove 4.

[0040] Specifically, the roller 21 is hollow, thus the roller 21 has a certain buoyancy, which enables the roller 21, U-shaped seat 2, motor 22 and other structures to float. The buoyancy of the hollow roller 21 needs to ensure that part of the roller 21 is below the water surface and the other part is above the water surface. If the buoyancy of the roller 21 is insufficient, a buoyancy block 5 can be fixed at the bottom of the U-shaped seat 2. A buoyancy block 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support rod 1. The buoyancy block 5 below the support rod 1 provides buoyancy to the support rod 1, so that the support rod 1 can float on the water surface.

[0041] Preferably, a guide rod 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the U-shaped seat 2, and the guide rod 3 is slidably connected inside the support rod 1. The guide rod 3 assists the gas spring 11 in supporting the U-shaped seat 2 and the roller shaft 21, and resists the buoyancy difference between the roller shaft 21 and the support rod 1, thus preventing the gas spring 11 from bending in the vertical direction. A universal wheel 27 is fixedly installed on one side of the U-shaped seat 2. The universal wheel 27 abuts against one side of the herringbone gate 6. Thus, when the herringbone gate 6 is closed, when the two roller shafts 21 are subjected to force, the force of the roller shafts 21 perpendicular to the herringbone gate 6 is supported by the universal wheel 27, so that the guide rod 3 and the gas spring 11 will not bend in the direction of the herringbone gate 6. When the U-shaped seat 2 slides up and down, the universal wheel 27 can rotate, so that the U-shaped seat 2 can slide up and down smoothly.

[0042] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During use, the hollow roller 21 has buoyancy, and the support rod 1 and the buoyancy block 5 at the bottom of the U-shaped seat 2 can provide buoyancy to the support rod 1 and the U-shaped seat 2, ensuring that part of the roller 21 is below the water surface and the other part is above the water surface. The slide 4 limits the support rod 1 through the slider 41, so that the support rod 1 can only slide vertically along the slide 4. Therefore, as the water level rises and falls, the roller 21 automatically rises and falls accordingly, ensuring that the rotating roller 21 can transport floating garbage and foreign objects and tree stumps downstream.

[0043] In other embodiments, the belt drive mechanism consisting of the small pulley 23, the large pulley 24 and the belt 25 can also be replaced by a gear drive mechanism or other types of drive mechanisms; the motor 22 can also be replaced by a hydraulic motor or a similar drive with a rotary position output end.
