Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cleaning equipment technology, and specifically relates to a wheel cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] In factories, parking lots, logistics parks, and other locations, vehicles frequently enter and exit, easily carrying mud, dust, gravel, and other pollutants on their wheels. These pollutants not only contaminate the environment and increase cleaning and maintenance costs, but can also lead to material leaks during transportation, resulting in resource waste and potential safety hazards. Traditional wheel cleaning methods, such as high-pressure water jet washing, are inefficient and wasteful of water resources. While some mechanical cleaning equipment has a certain cleaning effect, it struggles to reach complex areas such as the inside of the wheel rim and deep within the tire treads, leaving obvious cleaning blind spots. Furthermore, due to the frequent vehicle traffic, traditional cleaning equipment generally suffers from insufficient durability and high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the existing technical defects and provide a ground-type wheel cleaning device. This device is suitable for all types of vehicles, large and small. It adopts a combination of a grid structure and a cleaning strip brush. When the vehicle drives over the device, the bristles on the cleaning strip brush can penetrate into traditional cleaning blind spots such as tire treads and wheel rim gaps by utilizing the vehicle's own weight and the elasticity of the strip brush, achieving all-round, no-dead-angle cleaning and effectively improving cleaning efficiency and quality.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a wheel cleaning device, including a fixed plate and a plurality of cleaning strip brushes arranged in the fixed plate. The upper end of the fixed plate is provided with a plurality of mesh-like hollow holes. The cleaning strip brush includes a brush body and a plurality of bristle groups spaced apart along the length of the brush body. The plurality of bristle groups correspond one-to-one with the hollow holes and protrude upward from the hollow holes. The brush body is an arc shape with an arched center.
[0005] Furthermore, the bristle assembly is inclinedly disposed on the top of the brush body, and the bristle assembly consists of several bristles.
[0006] Furthermore, a metal strip is provided at the center of the bristles.
[0007] Furthermore, the inclination directions of two adjacent bristle groups on the same brush body are opposite.
[0008] Furthermore, the two bristle groups on adjacent brush bodies that are in the same row have the same tilt direction.
[0009] Furthermore, the two bristle groups on adjacent brush bodies that are in the same row are tilted in opposite directions.
[0010] Furthermore, both lower ends of the brush body are provided with concave arc-shaped grooves along their length; the bottom of the brush body is provided with a W-shaped groove along its length.
[0011] Furthermore, the fixed plate includes a tray with an open top and at least one load-bearing grid arranged in the tray, the cleaning strip brush is disposed between the load-bearing grid and the tray, and the load-bearing grid has a plurality of hollow holes formed thereon.
[0012] Furthermore, the load-bearing grid includes a front plate, a rear plate, and several longitudinal partitions disposed between the front plate and the rear plate and spaced apart on the left and right. The front and rear ends of the longitudinal partitions are respectively engaged and welded to the front plate and the rear plate. Several transverse partitions are also provided between the front plate and the rear plate at intervals. The transverse partitions and the longitudinal partitions are arranged in an interlaced mesh structure to form several hollow holes.
[0013] Furthermore, the front plate and the rear plate are provided with a latch at the position corresponding to each of the longitudinal partitions. Both ends of the longitudinal partitions are provided with a latching part that is inserted into and welded to the latch. The upper end of the longitudinal partition is provided with a number of spaced slots along its length. The transverse partition is fitted into the slot and welded to be fixed. The depth of the slot is the same as the height of the transverse partition. The lower end of the longitudinal partition is recessed with a number of spaced notches along its length.
[0014] Furthermore, each of the cleaning strip brushes is placed between two adjacent longitudinal partitions and below the transverse partitions, and both the front and rear ends of the longitudinal partitions are provided with limiting round steel bars located at the lower end of the brush body.
[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] This invention utilizes a combination of a grid structure and a cleaning strip brush, suitable for various types of vehicles, large and small. The cleaning strip brush has an upward-convex arc-shaped structure with excellent elasticity. When a vehicle's wheels pass over the device, the combined effect of the cleaning strip brush's elasticity and the vehicle's own weight allows the bristles to penetrate deep into traditional cleaning blind spots such as tire treads and wheel rim crevices, achieving comprehensive and thorough cleaning and effectively improving cleaning efficiency and quality. Simultaneously, the device's robust and durable structure significantly reduces equipment maintenance costs, providing a more efficient, environmentally friendly, and economical wheel cleaning solution for relevant locations.
[0017] Secondly, by tilting the bristle groups and making the tilting directions of adjacent bristle groups on the same brush body opposite, when the vehicle's wheels pass over the device, the combined effect of the elasticity of the cleaning strip brush and the vehicle's own weight causes the strip brush to swing rapidly left and right due to the different bristle directions. This can better achieve the purpose of cleaning the entire wheel surface, enhance the cleaning effect on tire treads and rim gaps, and reduce cleaning blind spots. Furthermore, the addition of metal strips in the middle of the bristles enhances the elasticity and lifespan of the bristles, while also delaying the decline in the cleaning ability of the strip brush.
[0018] Furthermore, the components of the load-bearing grille are fixed by a snap-fit structure and welded together, which greatly improves the strength of the weld points and ensures that the grille does not deform under vehicle pressure. The structural stability is superior to conventional planar contact and welding processes. In addition, several notches are set at the lower end of the longitudinal partition to form a wavy structure, which reduces the unevenness of the plane caused by the cumulative welding error. This avoids uneven contact between the bottom surface of the longitudinal partition and the pallet. At the same time, the notches form hollow channels, which facilitate the rapid discharge of sewage during washing or the vacuuming of dust inside the pallet by vacuum cleaner, thus improving cleaning and maintenance efficiency.
[0019] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and will become apparent from the description or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0031] To better understand the technical content of this utility model, the following will further introduce and explain this utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that if there are descriptions such as "first" and "second" in the text, they are used to distinguish different components, etc., and do not represent the order of priority, nor do they limit "first" and "second" to be different types.
[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] Example
[0034] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown in the figure, the wheel cleaning device shown in this embodiment includes a fixed plate 1 and a plurality of cleaning strip brushes 2 arranged in the fixed plate. The upper end of the fixed plate 1 is provided with a plurality of mesh-shaped hollow holes 10. The cleaning strip brush 2 includes a brush body 21 and a plurality of bristle groups 22 spaced along the length direction of the brush body 21. The plurality of bristle groups 22 correspond one-to-one with the hollow holes 10 and protrude upward from the hollow holes 10. The brush body 21 is an arc shape with an arched middle section.
[0035] The aforementioned device combines a grid structure with cleaning strip brushes, making it suitable for various sizes of vehicles. When in use, the device is installed at factory entrances, workshop entrances, or other locations requiring wheel cleaning. The cleaning strip brushes have an upward-convex, arc-shaped structure with excellent elasticity. When a vehicle's wheels pass over the device, the combined effect of the brush's elasticity and the vehicle's own weight allows the brush bristles to penetrate deep into traditional cleaning blind spots such as tire treads and wheel rim crevices. Dust on the wheel surface is swept into a fixed disc, achieving comprehensive, thorough cleaning and effectively improving cleaning efficiency and quality. The dust in the fixed disc is periodically emptied. Furthermore, the device is robust and durable, with a relatively low overall height, making it more versatile and easier to install, significantly reducing maintenance costs. Grounding the device reduces static electricity in the brushes, preventing static dust adsorption. Its modular design allows users to assemble any number of these devices to create cleaning areas of appropriate sizes, providing a more efficient, environmentally friendly, and economical wheel cleaning solution for relevant locations.
[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2 to 8 As shown, the fixed tray 1 includes a tray 11 with a receiving groove 12 and an open top, and at least one load-bearing grid 3 arranged in the tray 11. The load-bearing grid 3 adopts a detachable structure that is placed directly on the tray 11. A cleaning brush 2 is located between the load-bearing grid 3 and the tray 11. Several hollow holes 10 are formed on the load-bearing grid 3, so that the dust swept off by the cleaning brush 2 falls into the tray. The dust in the tray can be cleaned regularly by lifting the load-bearing grid 3.
[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the load-bearing grille 3 includes a front plate 31, a rear plate 32, and several longitudinal partitions 33 arranged between the front plate 31 and the rear plate 32 and spaced apart on the left and right. The front and rear ends of the longitudinal partitions 33 are respectively snapped and welded to the front plate 31 and the rear plate 32. Several transverse partitions 34 are also arranged between the front plate 31 and the rear plate 32 at intervals. The transverse partitions 34 and the longitudinal partitions 33 are arranged in a crisscross pattern to form a mesh structure, thereby forming several hollow holes 10. The components of the load-bearing grille adopt a snap-fit positioning and fixing structure, and are combined with a welding connection method. The strength of the welding points is greatly improved, ensuring that the grille does not deform under the pressure of vehicles. The structural stability is better than that of conventional planar contact and welding processes.
[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 8As shown, the front plate 31 and the rear plate 32 are provided with slots 35 at the positions corresponding to each longitudinal partition 33. Both ends of the longitudinal partition 33 are provided with a latching part 331 that is inserted into and welded to the slot 35. The upper end of the longitudinal partition 33 is provided with a number of spaced slots 36 along its length. The transverse partition 34 is fitted into the slots 36 and welded to be fixed, so that the transverse partition 34 and the longitudinal partition 33 are arranged in a crisscross pattern. The depth of the slots 36 is the same as the height of the transverse partition 34, so that the surfaces of the transverse partition 34 and the longitudinal partition 33 are flush.
[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the lower end of the partition plate 33 is recessed with several spaced notches 37 along its length to form a wavy structure at the lower end, reducing unevenness caused by accumulated welding errors. This avoids uneven contact between the bottom surface of the partition plate and the tray. At the same time, the notches form a hollow channel, which facilitates the rapid discharge of sewage during washing or the vacuuming of dust inside the tray by a vacuum cleaner, thus improving cleaning and maintenance efficiency.
[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 8 As shown, each cleaning strip brush 2 is placed between two adjacent longitudinal partitions 33 and below the transverse partition 34. The front and rear ends of the longitudinal partitions 33 are both provided with limiting round steel 4 located at the lower end of the brush body 21. That is, there is an insertion hole 38 on the lower side of both ends of the longitudinal partitions 33. The limiting round steel 4 is inserted laterally into the insertion hole 38, which simultaneously supports and limits multiple cleaning strip brushes 2. Thus, the cleaning strip brushes 2 and the load-bearing grid 3 are combined and fixed into a cleaning module structure by using the limiting round steel 4. One or more cleaning module structures can be installed in the tray 11.
[0041] In this embodiment, as Figures 9 to 10 As shown, the bristle group 22 is inclined at the top center of the brush body 21, that is, the bristle group 22 is inclined to the left and right sides of the brush body, and the inclination direction of two adjacent bristle groups on the same brush body 21 is opposite. When the vehicle wheel passes over the device, under the combined action of the elasticity of the cleaning strip brush and the vehicle's own weight, the strip brush swings rapidly left and right due to the different directions of the bristles, which can better achieve the purpose of cleaning the entire wheel surface, enhance the cleaning effect on tire tread and wheel hub gaps, and reduce cleaning blind spots.
[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the two bristle groups on the same row of adjacent brush bodies 21 have the same tilt direction.
[0043] In another different embodiment, the inclination directions of two bristle groups on the same row of adjacent brush bodies may be opposite, depending on actual needs.
[0044] In another specific embodiment, the bristle assembly 22 consists of several bristles, and each bristle has a metal strip (not shown in the figure) at its axial center. The addition of the metal strip enhances the elasticity and lifespan of the bristles, while also delaying the decline in the cleaning ability of the strip brush.
[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the lower ends of both sides of the brush body 21 are provided with concave arc-shaped grooves 23 along their length direction; the bottom of the brush body 21 is provided with a W-shaped groove 24 in the middle along its length direction. The arc-shaped grooves 23 and grooves 24 can effectively improve the ability of the brush body to deform downwards and avoid problems such as breakage of the brush body during deformation.
[0046] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the embodiments of this utility model. The description of the above embodiments is only for helping to understand the principles of the embodiments of this utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the embodiments of this utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
