Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cleaning machine technology, and more specifically to a truss-type suspended cleaning machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the early days, trash rack cleaners were classified into two main categories based on their type: rotary trash rack cleaners and rake-bucket trash rack cleaners. The rake-bucket trash rack cleaner is structurally similar to the rotary trash rack cleaner. It consists of a trash rack made of several bars installed in the waterway, with a frame mounted on top of the rack. A movable rake bucket is mounted on the frame, capable of moving up and down to grab all the trash in front of the rack. It is suitable for large trash racks, has a high load capacity, and strong cleaning ability, especially effective against large debris such as tree branches and poles.

[0003] However, the scraper-type trash rack also has certain disadvantages. Since it is generally installed in large waterways, a structure needs to be built on the upper part of the dam to install the scraper inside it. Moreover, the angle of the trash rack needs to be close to vertical, otherwise the scraper will have to be set forward, which requires high structural strength and is costly. Utility Model Content

[0004] One advantage of this invention is that it provides a truss-type suspended debris cleaning machine, which does not require the construction of structures. Compared with the traditional rake bucket type debris cleaning machine, it has the advantages of low cost and easy installation. At the same time, it has greater structural strength, and the horizontal rail can move back and forth. When the rake bucket is moved to the junction of the debris rack and the water surface during operation, it not only improves the debris cleaning capacity, but also improves adaptability.

The connecting parts 11 are coupled to the crossbar rail 4, and rollers 12 are provided inside the connecting parts 11. The rollers 12 contact the crossbar rail 4 in a rolling manner; a mounting plate 9 is fixedly provided at the top of the columns 3 at both ends, and a hydraulic cylinder 8 is fixedly provided on the mounting plate 9. The piston rod of the hydraulic cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to both ends of the crossbar rail 4.

[0020] The first embodiment of this utility model is as follows:

[0021] A truss-type suspended debris removal machine includes a foundation 1 built on a waterway. A waterway is provided on the foundation 1, allowing water to flow through. A debris-blocking grid 2 is installed here to intercept debris. The debris-blocking grid 2 is composed of several L-shaped bars welded side-by-side, with gaps between the bars. Water can pass through, but debris cannot, thus blocking the debris. A truss is installed on the upper part of the foundation 1. The truss includes several columns 3, which are spaced apart from the debris-blocking grid 2 to ensure overall structural stability. A horizontal rail 4 is fixedly connected to the top of each column 3. The horizontal bar track 4 is set horizontally in the front and back directions. The connection point between the column 3 and the horizontal bar track 4 is located in the middle of the horizontal bar track 4. The horizontal bar track 4 is made of I-beams, with its front end extending forward in the direction of incoming water. The forward extension distance is greater than the projected length of the trash rack 2 on the horizontal plane to ensure maximum coverage area. The rear end of the horizontal bar track 4 is fixedly connected to a steel wire rope 10. The other end of the steel wire rope 10 is fixed to the ground with rivets. With the column 3 as the support point, the steel wire rope 10 balances the force on the front end of the horizontal bar track 4, making the horizontal bar track 4 more stable.

[0022] The traveling track 5 is perpendicular to the crossbar track 4. Several connecting parts 11 are provided on the upper surface of the traveling track 5. Each connecting part 11 corresponds to one of the crossbar tracks 4. The connecting parts 11 are coupled to the crossbar tracks 4. Rollers 12 are provided inside the connecting parts 11. The rollers 12 contact the crossbar tracks 4 in a rolling manner, so that the traveling track 5 can move smoothly as a whole on the crossbar tracks 4. Mounting plates 9 are fixedly installed on the top of the columns 3 at both ends. Hydraulic cylinders 8 are fixedly installed on the mounting plates 9. The piston rods of the hydraulic cylinders 8 are fixedly connected to both ends of the crossbar tracks 4. The traveling track 5 is driven to move as a whole by the hydraulic cylinders 8.

[0023] Structurally, the traveling rail 5 is suspended below the crossbar rail 4, the mounting plate 9 is located below the traveling rail 5, and the hydraulic cylinder 8 is located behind the traveling rail 5.

[0024] A traveling car 6 is installed on the traveling track 5 in a manner that allows it to move left and right. A rake bucket 7 is connected to the lower part of the traveling car 6 in a manner that allows it to move up and down. A drive device is installed inside the traveling car 6 to drive it to move left and right on the traveling track 5. The rake bucket 7 can move up and down by a winch. The rake claws open and close by a hydraulic structure, thereby grabbing dirt.

[0025] In the initial position, the hydraulic cylinder 8 can be shortened to move the traveling rail 5 to the rear side closer to the column 3. At this time, the force on the suspended truss is minimal. When it is necessary to grab dirt, the hydraulic cylinder 8 is used to drive the traveling rail 5 to move to the appropriate position on the outside. Then, when the winch is started, the rake claws descend to clean up the dirt.

[0026] Meanwhile, when the water level is different, the interface between the water surface and the trash rack 2 will also move forward or backward accordingly. At this time, the position of the trolley track 5 can be adjusted to ensure maximum cleaning efficiency.

[0027] It should be noted that the terms "first, second, and third" used in this utility model are for descriptive purposes only and do not indicate any order. They should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, and can be interpreted as names.

[0028] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The advantages of the present invention have been fully and effectively realized. The functional and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any modifications or variations.
