Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of coal bunker cleaning devices, and in particular to a coal bunker detection and cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] During operation, coal bunkers can accumulate coal lumps, creating coal briquettes. Although various coal bunker unblocking devices are available to solve these problems, the complexity of coal quality means that the location of these briquettes can vary, sometimes causing them to be outside the working range of the unblocking devices. This renders the devices ineffective. Therefore, this application proposes a coal bunker detection and cleaning device to address the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the above situation and overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a coal bunker inspection and cleaning device. The technical solution it provides includes a wall-climbing robot and a host computer for controlling the robot. The wall-climbing robot is characterized by having two clamps coaxially arranged along its longitudinal direction fixedly connected to its upper end. These two clamps are jointly fixedly connected to a compressed air tank. The outlet end of the compressed air tank is fixedly connected to the inlet end of an exhaust pipe. A solenoid valve controlled by the host computer is installed on the exhaust pipe. The outlet end of the exhaust pipe is fixedly connected to the inlet end of a high-pressure nozzle. A support frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the wall-climbing robot. A 360-degree camera is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support frame. A spare cleaning device is arranged at the front end of the wall-climbing robot. The backup cleaning device includes a reciprocating drive device fixedly connected to the front end of the wall-climbing robot. The reciprocating drive device drives a horizontal moving rod. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the front end of the horizontal moving rod. A plurality of levers evenly distributed vertically are fixedly connected to the front end of the mounting plate.
[0004] Preferably, the reciprocating drive device includes a mounting frame fixedly connected to the front end of the wall-climbing robot, a crossbar fixedly connected to the mounting frame, and a reciprocating screw arranged parallel to the crossbar rotatably connected to the mounting frame. The reciprocating screw is threadedly connected to the transverse moving rod, the crossbar is slidably connected to the transverse moving rod, and a drive motor controlled by a host computer is fixedly connected to the mounting frame.
[0005] Preferably, the transverse guide is integrally provided with a guide sleeve that slides with the crossbar, and the transverse guide is integrally provided with a threaded sleeve that is threadedly connected to the reciprocating lead screw.
[0006] Preferably, the compressed air tank is fixedly connected to an air inlet pipe, and an air inlet valve is installed on the air inlet pipe.
[0007] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: In use, the wall-climbing robot of this application can move under the control of a host computer, even walking and stopping along the coal bunker wall, thereby enabling comprehensive cleaning of the coal briquettes inside the bunker and ensuring its normal use. During its movement, the wall-climbing robot can monitor the situation inside the coal bunker through a 360-degree camera. When coal briquettes are found to need cleaning, the operator can select a cleaning method according to the actual situation. For example, high-pressure gas can be released through a high-pressure nozzle connected to a compressed air tank to impact and clean the coal briquettes, or the coal briquettes can be cleaned by using a lever of a backup cleaning device. This application has a simple structure, is easy to use, and is highly practical. Attached Figure Description

[0012] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail.
[0013] In the first embodiment, the technical solution is that, in use, the wall-climbing robot 1 and the host computer can be existing ones, and the structure will not be described in detail here. The wall-climbing robot 1 can move under the control of the host computer, and can even walk and stop along the coal bunker wall, thereby cleaning the coal in the bunker from all angles to ensure the normal use of the coal bunker. During the movement, the wall-climbing robot 1 can monitor the situation in the coal bunker through the 360-degree camera 8. When it finds that there is coal that needs to be cleaned, the operator can select the cleaning method according to the actual situation. For example, high-pressure gas can be released through the high-pressure nozzle 6 connected to the compressed air tank 3 to impact and clean the coal, or the coal can be cleaned through the lever 12 of the backup cleaning device 9. The structure of this application is simple, easy to use, and highly practical.
[0014] In Example 2, based on Example 1, specifically, when this application is used, the 360-degree camera 8 installed on the support frame 7 is connected to the monitoring room of the factory area through existing technology (the specific connection method will not be described in this application). In this way, the situation inside the coal bunker can be monitored in real time through the 360-degree camera 8 in the monitoring room, so that the operator can control the climbing robot 1 and other related components through the host computer.
[0015] When the operator detects coal debris via the 360-degree camera 8 while controlling the wall-climbing robot 1, the operator approaches the debris via the host computer and selects an appropriate cleaning method based on the situation. The compressed air tank 3 stores 0.6 MPa of compressed air. When using air impact for cleaning, the host computer first adjusts the wall-climbing robot 1 so that the high-pressure nozzle 6 faces the coal debris. Then, the host computer controls the solenoid valve 5 to open, allowing the compressed air in the compressed air tank 3 to flow through the exhaust pipe 4 to the high-pressure nozzle 6, where it is released to impact and clean the coal debris.
[0016] When the operator uses the standby cleaning device 9 to clean the coal briquettes, the operator first adjusts the position of the wall-climbing robot 1 via the host computer to facilitate the cleaning. After adjusting the wall-climbing robot 1, the operator starts the drive motor 16 of the reciprocating drive device via the host computer. The start of the drive motor 16 will drive the reciprocating screw 15, which is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 13, to rotate. The rotation of the reciprocating screw 15 will drive the transverse rod 10 through the screw sleeve 18. The transverse rod 10 is slidably connected to the crossbar 14 through the guide sleeve 17. Thus, under the drive of the reciprocating screw 15, the transverse rod 10 will reciprocate along the crossbar 14. The reciprocating movement of the transverse rod 10 will cause the mounting plate 11 and the lever 12 on the mounting plate 11 to move accordingly. The coal briquettes can then be moved by the lever 12, thereby achieving the purpose of cleaning the coal briquettes.
[0017] In Example 3, based on Example 2, the compressed air tank 3 is fixedly installed on the wall-climbing robot 1 by clamp 2. When it is necessary to replenish the compressed air tank 3 with compressed air, the air inlet valve 20 can be opened and compressed air can be replenished into the compressed air tank 3 through the air inlet pipe 19.
