Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In industrial production environments, factories and workshops often face needs such as dust control and environmental cooling. Traditional water spraying equipment, such as large water trucks, is limited by its size and flexibility, making it difficult to operate efficiently in narrow passages, inside workshops, or complex factory layouts, and the investment cost is relatively high; while simple tools such as handheld spray guns have problems such as limited coverage and poor water spraying uniformity. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, the purpose of this utility model is to design a water spraying device that has a low investment cost and can be easily installed on a forklift for water spraying and dust removal operations in the factory and workshop.

[0004] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: Design a water spraying device, including a water tank that can be placed on a forklift fork arm, and a spray pipe installed on the side of the water tank and connected to the water storage chamber of the water tank. The bottom of the water tank is provided with two bearing grooves that match the forklift fork arm. The top side of the water tank is provided with a water inlet connector, which can be quickly connected to an external water supply pipeline. The spray pipe includes a spray pipe extending along the length of the water tank, and a plurality of spray holes are arrayed on the spray pipe.

[0005] In this solution, a support groove is installed at the bottom of the water tank to match the forklift arm. No additional modifications to the forklift structure are required; the existing carrying capacity of the forklift is used to mount the water spraying device. The forklift's inherent high mobility (steering, lifting, and moving) allows the water spraying device to accurately cover complex areas such as workshops or factory areas, making it particularly suitable for narrow aisle operations and compensating for the blind spots of traditional water trucks. The spray pipes are arrayed with holes along the length of the water tank, which, combined with the forklift's movement speed, enables linear and continuous water spraying, avoiding localized over-wetting or uneven coverage. The side water inlet connector allows for quick connection / disconnection with external water supply lines, simplifying the water replenishment process and improving equipment turnover rate.

[0006] Furthermore, the bearing trough includes two supporting vertical plates, which extend along the width direction of the water tank and are perpendicular to the bottom surface of the water tank.

[0007] In this design, the two support grooves are symmetrically distributed around the centerline of the water tank bottom, which helps to position the forklift forks and prevents the center of gravity from shifting significantly when the forklift lifts the water tank, thus avoiding tipping over during travel. At the same time, the two support vertical plates form natural limiting edges, which, together with the L-shaped cross-section of the forklift, prevent the water tank from slipping laterally even during sudden braking or operation on a slope.

[0008] Furthermore, the spray pipe also includes a connecting pipe that connects the water storage chamber of the water tank and the spray pipe, and the connecting pipe is equipped with a rotary valve.

[0009] In this design, the water flow can be switched on and off by rotating the handle valve 90°. The progressive rotation angle of the handle is linearly related to the flow rate, and stepless flow control from 10% to 100% can be achieved with the help of scale markings. The handle valve and the connecting pipe are connected by flanges or threads, and can be disassembled and replaced independently if damaged, reducing maintenance time.

[0010] Furthermore, the water tank is provided with a top cover, which includes a fixed plate fixedly connected to the main body of the water tank and a movable plate movably connected to the main body of the water tank. The water level in the water storage chamber of the water tank can be observed by opening the movable plate.

[0011] In this design, the fixed plate is rigidly connected to the main body of the water tank. Combined with the sealing structure of the movable plate when closed, this effectively prevents dust, insects, and other contaminants from entering the water storage chamber, ensuring water cleanliness. The movable plate can be designed with hinges or sliding rails for limiting movement, eliminating the need for additional electronic sensors; the water level can be visually checked simply by opening the movable plate. The movable plate provides a large-diameter maintenance access port, facilitating manual cleaning of sediment from the water tank or removal of pipe blockages. Furthermore, the movable plate is hinged to the fixed plate, and a handle is provided at the end of the movable plate away from the fixed plate.

[0012] In this design, the movable plate is connected to the fixed plate via a hinge, and with the end handle design, the opening / closing action can be completed with one hand.

[0013] Furthermore, the water inlet connector includes a connector body, the connector body having a through hole communicating with the water storage chamber of the water tank, and a clamping unit being provided at one end of the connector body away from the water tank. When the connector of the external water supply pipeline is inserted into the through hole, the clamping unit clamps the connector of the external water supply pipeline.

[0014] In this solution, the clamping unit enables the external connector to be "plugged in and engaged" instantly, and the installation time is only 1 / 3 of that of traditional threaded connections, greatly improving the water replenishment efficiency.

[0015] Furthermore, the clamping unit includes a sleeve slidably sleeved on the connector body and a clamping member disposed on the connector body. The connector body is provided with a clamping hole that passes through the through hole. The clamping member is embedded in the clamping hole and partially extends into the through hole. The sleeve can restrict the movement of the clamping member in the clamping hole so that the part of the clamping member extending into the through hole clamps the connector of the external water supply pipeline.

[0016] In this design, the clamping element is embedded in the locking hole of the connector body. The sleeve provides axial restraint to the clamping element, creating a mechanical locking force that pushes the clamping element to engage with the connector of the external water supply pipeline. The connector of the external water supply pipeline has a corresponding locking groove. The portion of the clamping element extending into the through hole can be embedded into the locking groove of the connector of the external water supply pipeline under the action of the sleeve, thus achieving the connection between the two. The sleeve covers the locking hole to form a physical lock. Even if the clamping element is accidentally displaced under vibration and impact, the sleeve can still prevent it from disengaging from the locking hole, avoiding sudden detachment of the water pipe connector.

[0017] Furthermore, the clamping unit also includes an elastic element sleeved on the connector body and clamped between the sleeve and the connector body, with both ends of the elastic element abutting against the sleeve and the connector body respectively.

[0018] In this solution, the sleeve is automatically reset by setting an elastic element. The elastic element provides the sleeve with automatic rebound force. When unlocking, only one hand is needed to pull down the sleeve, and it will automatically reset and lock after being released.

[0019] Furthermore, at least four hanging lugs are provided on the periphery of the water tank.

[0020] In this design, four or more lugs are symmetrically distributed around the water tank, forming a multi-point load-bearing structure. The circumferentially distributed lugs support vertical hoisting. Within the workshop, the tank can also be moved by overhead crane to enable water spraying operations.

[0021] Furthermore, the water tank is also provided with multiple reinforcing plates around its perimeter.

[0022] In this design, reinforcing plates are distributed along the perimeter of the water tank to form a ring-shaped support frame, which can enhance the stability of the overall structure of the water tank and prevent fatigue cracking of the water tank caused by long-term vibration during sudden stops or bumpy conditions when the forklift is moving.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: In this solution, a support groove is installed at the bottom of the water tank to match the forklift arm. No additional modifications to the forklift structure are required; the existing carrying capacity of the forklift is used to mount the water spraying device. The forklift's inherent high mobility (steering, lifting, and moving) allows the water spraying device to accurately cover complex areas such as workshops or factory areas, making it particularly suitable for narrow aisle operations and compensating for the blind spots of traditional water trucks. The spray pipes are arrayed with holes along the length of the water tank, which, combined with the forklift's movement speed, enables linear and continuous water spraying, avoiding localized over-wetting or uneven coverage. The side water inlet connector allows for quick connection / disconnection with external water supply lines, simplifying the water replenishment process and improving equipment turnover rate.

[0028] To facilitate understanding of this invention, a more comprehensive description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the invention. However, this invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a water spraying device, including a water tank 1 that can be placed on a forklift fork, and a spray pipe 2 installed on the side of the water tank 1 and communicating with the water storage chamber of the water tank 1. The water tank 1 is cubic in shape as required, and its size depends on the actual design. In this embodiment, the dimensions of the water tank 1 are 1800*1000*1000mm. It should be noted that the main body of the water tank 1 in this embodiment is welded from steel plate. In other possible embodiments, the main body of the water tank 1 may also be made of other materials, such as plastic.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the bottom of the water tank 1 is provided with two support grooves 11 that match the forklift forks. Each support groove 11 includes two support vertical plates 111, which extend along the width of the water tank 1 and are perpendicular to its bottom surface. The height of the support vertical plates 111 is not less than 100mm, ensuring that the bottom of the water tank 1 is off the ground, facilitating the forklift forks to extend into the bottom of the water tank 1 and lift it. The two support grooves 11 are symmetrically distributed around the centerline of the water tank bottom, providing positioning for the forklift forks and preventing a significant shift in the forklift's center of gravity when lifting the water tank 1, which could lead to tipping over during travel. Simultaneously, the two support vertical plates 111 form a natural limiting edge, which, combined with the L-shaped cross-section of the forklift forks, prevents the water tank 1 from slipping laterally, even during sudden braking or operation on a slope.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the water tank 1 is equipped with a top cover 13, which includes a fixed plate 131 fixedly connected to the main body of the water tank 1 and a movable plate 132 movably connected to the main body of the water tank 1. Opening the movable plate 132 allows observation of the water level in the water storage chamber of the water tank 1. The fixed plate 131 is rigidly connected to the main body of the water tank 1, and in conjunction with the sealing structure of the movable plate 132 in its closed state, it effectively prevents dust, insects, and other contaminants from entering the water storage chamber, ensuring water cleanliness. The movable plate 132 can be designed with hinges or sliding rails, eliminating the need for additional electronic sensors; the water level can be directly checked visually by opening the movable plate 132. The movable plate 132 provides a large-diameter maintenance inlet, facilitating manual cleaning of sediment in the water tank or removal of pipe blockages. In this embodiment, the movable plate is connected to the fixed plate via a hinge. Two handles 133 are provided at the end of the movable plate 132 furthest from the fixed plate 131, located on either side of the movable plate 132. This allows for single-handed operation of opening and closing the movable plate 132 from either side of the water tank 1.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the spray pipe 2 includes a spray pipe 21 extending along the length of the water tank 1, and a connecting pipe 22 connecting the water storage chamber of the water tank 1 and the spray pipe 21. The spray pipe 21 is fixed to the side of the water tank 1 by a support member, and the spray pipe 21 is located at the bottom of the water tank 1. Several spray holes 211 are arranged in an array on the spray pipe 21. A rotary valve 23 is provided on the connecting pipe 22. The rotary valve 23 can realize the opening and closing of the water circuit by rotating 90°. The progressive rotation angle of the handle is linearly related to the flow rate, and stepless flow rate control from 10% to 100% can be achieved with the help of scale markings. The rotary valve 23 and the connecting pipe 22 are connected by flange or thread, and can be disassembled and replaced independently when damaged, which can reduce maintenance time.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a water inlet connector 12 is provided on the top side of the water tank 1. The water inlet connector 12 can be quickly connected to an external water supply pipeline. The water inlet connector 12 includes a connector body 121, which has a through hole 1211 communicating with the water storage chamber of the water tank 1. A clamping unit 122 is provided at the end of the connector body 121 away from the water tank 1. When the connector of the external water supply pipeline is inserted into the through hole 1211, the clamping unit 122 clamps the connector of the external water supply pipeline. The clamping unit 122 can realize the "one-plug-and-close" of the external connector, and the installation time is only 1 / 3 of that of the traditional threaded connection, which greatly improves the water replenishment efficiency.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the clamping unit 122 includes a sleeve 1221 slidably sleeved on the connector body 121 and a clamping member 1222 disposed on the connector body 121. The connector body 121 is provided with a clamping hole 1212 through the through hole 1211. The clamping member 1222 is embedded in the clamping hole 1212 and partially extends into the through hole 1211. The sleeve 1221 can restrict the movement of the clamping member 1222 in the clamping hole 1212 so that the part of the clamping member 1222 extending into the through hole 1211 clamps the connector of the external water supply pipeline.

[0035] In this embodiment, the connector body 121 is a hollow cylinder, and the locking holes 1212 are arranged in a circumferential array on the side wall of the connector body 121. The locking member 1222 is a sphere. The locking member 1222 is embedded in the locking hole 1212 of the connector body 121. When the inner wall of the sleeve 1221 is directly opposite the locking hole 1212, the locking member 1222 is restricted within the locking hole 1212 and cannot move. The axial limiting force of the inner wall of the sleeve 1221 on the locking member 1222 forms a mechanical locking force, which pushes the locking member 1222 to fit with the connector of the external water supply pipeline. The connector of the external water supply pipeline is provided with a corresponding locking groove. The part of the locking member 1222 that extends into the through hole 1211 can be embedded in the locking groove of the connector of the external water supply pipeline under the action of the sleeve 1221, so as to realize the connection between the two. The inner wall of the sleeve 1221 is provided with a groove. When the sleeve 1221 is slidable so that the groove is aligned with the locking hole 1212, the locking member 1222 can move in the area where the locking hole 1212 and the groove are connected. When the external water supply pipe needs to be connected, first slide the sleeve 1221 to make the locking unit 122 insertable, then insert the external water supply pipe connector into the through hole 1211, and then slide the sleeve 1221 to make the locking unit 122 locked. The sleeve 1221 covers the locking hole 1212 to form a physical lock. Even if the locking member 1222 is accidentally displaced under vibration and impact, the sleeve 1221 can still prevent it from disengaging from the locking hole 1212, thus avoiding the sudden disconnection of the water pipe connector.

[0036] Additionally, the locking unit 122 includes an elastic element 1223 sleeved on the connector body 121 and clamped between the sleeve 1221 and the connector body 121. The two ends of the elastic element 1223 abut against the sleeve 1221 and the connector body 121, respectively. The elastic element 1223 can be a spring. By setting the elastic element 1223, the sleeve 1221 automatically resets after sliding. The elastic element 1223 provides the sleeve 1221 with automatic rebound force. Unlocking requires only one hand to pull down the sleeve 1221; after release, it automatically resets and locks.

[0037] It should be noted that the function of the clamping unit 122 is only to clamp the water inlet connector 12 and the connector of the external water supply pipeline. A sealing ring is provided in the through hole 1211 of the connector body 121. When the connector of the external water supply pipeline is inserted into the through hole 1211, the sealing ring seals the two to prevent water leakage.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, at least four hanging lugs 14 are provided on the periphery of the water tank 1. In this embodiment, four or more hanging lugs 14 are symmetrically distributed on the periphery of the water tank 1, forming a multi-support load-bearing structure. The circumferentially distributed hanging lugs 14 support vertical hoisting and can also be moved by overhead crane in the workshop to realize water spraying operations.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple reinforcing plates 15 are also provided around the periphery of the water tank 1. In this embodiment, the reinforcing plates 15 are rectangular square tubes, which are welded together at the upper and lower ends along the main side of the water tank 1. Another vertical reinforcing plate 15 is welded between two reinforcing plates 15 on the same side. The reinforcing plates 15 are distributed around the periphery of the water tank 1, forming a ring-shaped support frame, which enhances the overall structural stability of the water tank 1 and prevents fatigue cracking of the water tank 1 due to long-term vibration during sudden stops or bumpy conditions while the forklift is moving.

[0040] In this embodiment, a support groove 11 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 1 to match the forklift arm. No additional modifications to the forklift structure are required; the water spraying device can be mounted directly using the forklift's existing carrying capacity. The forklift's inherent high mobility (steering, lifting, and moving) allows the water spraying device to accurately cover complex areas such as workshops or factory areas, making it particularly suitable for narrow alleyway operations and compensating for the blind spots of traditional water trucks. The spray pipes 21 have arrayed openings along the length of the water tank 1. Combined with the forklift's movement speed, this enables linear and continuous water spraying, avoiding localized over-wetting or uneven coverage. The side water inlet connector 12 supports quick connection / disconnection with external water supply lines, simplifying the water replenishment process and improving equipment turnover rate.
