Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aviation alcohol box cleaning technology, specifically to an aviation alcohol box cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Alcohol boxes are used to store alcohol, ensuring a safe and reliable supply of alcohol to the anti-icing system at various flight altitudes and under various flight conditions. After prolonged use, the de-icing system will accumulate impurities and excess material from multiple cycles. The alcohol box is primarily installed in a high-frequency vibration environment. The mounting plate is made of viscoelastic damping polymer nylon, and the components are designed with vibration-damping structures to absorb energy and reduce the impact of vibration on the alcohol box. However, after prolonged use, the mounting plate material will age, the viscoelastic nylon will stick to the alcohol box, and stains will accumulate around the box, affecting its normal use. Cleaning the alcohol box requires a large amount of alcohol; traditional cleaning methods waste a lot of alcohol and do not allow for direct observation of the box's cleanliness. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a cleaning device for aviation alcohol boxes. This device can repeatedly clean the inside and outside of the alcohol box using alcohol, and can filter impurities from the alcohol, enabling multiple reuses of the alcohol. It also determines the cleanliness of the inside and outside of the alcohol box based on the amount and state of the impurities. It is convenient, quick, efficient, and energy-saving.

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0005] An aviation alcohol tank cleaning device, comprising:

[0006] An alcohol storage container, used to hold alcohol boxes;

[0007] Alcohol satellite containers are used to store alcohol.

[0008] The high-pressure jetting mechanism is installed inside the alcohol container and connected to the alcohol satellite container, and is used to perform high-pressure cleaning of the alcohol tank.

[0009] A backwash filter cartridge with an ultrasonic vibration mechanism is installed at the bottom of the alcohol container and connected to the alcohol satellite container. It is used to filter the cleaned alcohol and then store it in the alcohol satellite container.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0011] This device allows for clear and intuitive observation of the alcohol tank cleaning process, determining the cleaning quality based on the presence of stains, marks, or large patches on the tank surface. It allows for multiple reuses of alcohol, saving energy and increasing alcohol reusability. It is easy to move, operate, and cleans effectively. The high-pressure jet mechanism allows for adjustments to direction and flow rate, taking into account the location of stains and the difficulty of cleaning. Attached Figure Description

[0017] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0018] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an aviation alcohol tank cleaning device mainly includes an alcohol holding tank 1, a fixed bracket 2, a backwash filter + ultrasonic vibration mechanism 3, a secondary control valve 4, a connecting hose 5, a miniature track 6, a motor 7, an alcohol inlet pipe 8, an alcohol satellite tank 9, a main control valve 10, an alcohol tank fixing clamp 11, an alcohol tank cleaning tank 12, a high-pressure jet mechanism 14, an alcohol tank base 15, and a limiter 16.

[0019] The fixed bracket 2 is disposed outside the alcohol holding tank 1 and the alcohol satellite tank 9. The miniature track 6 is disposed at the bottom of the fixed bracket 2, and the miniature track 6 helps to move and fix the alcohol holding tank 1 and the alcohol satellite tank 9. The backwash filter + ultrasonic vibration mechanism 3 is disposed at the bottom of the alcohol holding tank 1 and can automatically clean itself. The connecting hose 5 connects the backwash filter + ultrasonic vibration mechanism 3 and the alcohol satellite tank 9. The backwash filter + ultrasonic vibration mechanism 3 filters the cleaned alcohol, and the treated alcohol enters the alcohol satellite tank 9 through the connecting hose 5 for recycling. The secondary control valve 4 is disposed on the connecting hose 5 and can control the flow of alcohol.

[0020] The alcohol tank cleaning bucket 12 is installed inside the alcohol holding bucket 1. The alcohol tank cleaning bucket 12 is at the same height as the alcohol tank 13 for easy cleaning. The alcohol tank cleaning bucket 12 has honeycomb-shaped holes to facilitate the passage of alcohol and impurities. The alcohol tank base 15 is installed at the bottom of the alcohol tank cleaning bucket 12 and can rotate relative to the alcohol tank cleaning bucket 12. The motor 7 is installed at the bottom of the alcohol holding bucket 1 and connected to the alcohol tank base 15 to drive the alcohol tank base 15 to rotate. Three limiters 16 are provided and evenly distributed around the alcohol tank base 15 to limit the alcohol tank 13 and restrict the relative movement of the alcohol tank 13 and the motor 7. The alcohol tank fixing clamp 11 is installed at the top of the alcohol holding bucket 1 and works with the limiters 16 to lock the alcohol tank 13. At the same time, the alcohol tank fixing clamp 11 rotates relative to the alcohol tank 13 without interfering with the rotation of the alcohol tank 13.

[0021] The high-pressure jet mechanism 14 is mounted on the alcohol tank cleaning container 12 and connected to the alcohol satellite container 9 via the alcohol inlet pipe 8. The high-pressure jet mechanism 14 can change direction and flow rate, adjusting the direction and alcohol spray speed according to the location of the stains and the difficulty of cleaning. The main control valve 10 is mounted on the alcohol inlet pipe 8 to control the flow of alcohol. The alcohol satellite container 9 facilitates the observation of the impurity content and cleaning status of the alcohol tank, and the alcohol can be reused multiple times.

[0022] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0023] Open the alcohol tank fixing clamp 11 on the alcohol container 1, install the alcohol tank 13 onto the alcohol tank base 15, and ensure it fits tightly with the three limiters 16. Then, lock the alcohol tank fixing clamp 11 to secure the alcohol tank 13. Close the main control valve 10 and the auxiliary control valve 4, and pour the alcohol into the alcohol satellite tank 9. Turn on the motor 7 to rotate the alcohol tank base 15 and the alcohol tank 13 on it. Open the main control valve 10 to open the high-pressure jet mechanism 14. The alcohol enters the high-pressure jet mechanism 14 through the alcohol inlet pipe 8, spraying the high-pressure alcohol onto the alcohol tank 13. Open the auxiliary control valve 4, and the backwash filter + ultrasonic vibration mechanism 3 will start automatically. The filtered and ultrasonically cleaned alcohol will circulate in the alcohol satellite tank 9 through the connecting hose 5. Observe the outer wall of the alcohol tank 13. After there is no obvious dirt, turn off the motor 7 and the main control valve 10. After there is no remaining alcohol in the alcohol tank cleaning tank 12, the backwash filter + ultrasonic vibration mechanism 3 will automatically close, and the auxiliary control valve 4 will be closed. The alcohol processed by the backwash filter and ultrasonic vibration mechanism 3 is collected in the alcohol satellite tank 9 for use during the next cleaning. If it needs to be moved, the miniature track 6 is opened to move the alcohol container 1 and the alcohol satellite tank 9 to the desired location and then lock them.

[0024] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
