Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the fields of water conservancy machinery and cleaning machinery, specifically a device for automatically cleaning key parts of a rubber dam using the potential energy of river water. Background Technology

[0002] Rubber dams, as a new type of hydraulic structure, have been widely used in various waterways in recent years, especially in urban waterways with significant drops. Rubber dams not only serve the functions of water storage, flood control, and irrigation, but also beautify the environment. During use, many stains accumulate on the surface of rubber dams. To maintain the overall beauty of the waterway environment, these stains need to be cleaned regularly. Currently, the cleaning of rubber dams in various regions mainly involves manual scrubbing, using cleaning solutions to chemically react with the stains. During the entire scrubbing process, especially on the critical front parts of the rubber dam, the operators experience high labor intensity and safety risks, and the cleaning solutions cause serious environmental pollution. Even when using some power tools, these tools are not specifically designed for rubber dam cleaning, resulting in unsatisfactory cleaning effects, significant safety risks, and high energy consumption, leading to high cleaning costs.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a device was designed for automatically cleaning key components of a rubber dam using the potential energy of river water. Utilizing the siphon principle, upstream river water is continuously drawn into the drive unit via a water pipe. The gravitational potential energy of the river water within the pipe powers the impeller within the drive unit. Through gear transmission, worm gear transmission, and incomplete gear and rack transmission, the cleaning unit is ultimately driven to perform reciprocating linear motion. The cleaning brushes on the cleaning unit adhere to the key components of the rubber dam, thus achieving continuous and automatic cleaning of these components. This device utilizes a continuous flow of river water to clean the key components of the rubber dam without the need for cleaning agents, making it environmentally friendly and pollution-free. By using the gravitational potential energy of the river water to drive the cleaning brushes for automatic cleaning, it effectively eliminates the safety risks associated with manual cleaning of key components and effectively utilizes the potential energy of the river water, saving on energy costs such as electricity and fuel. The only costs incurred during operation are the one-time manufacturing cost and maintenance costs of the device itself. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: to design an automatic scrubbing device for key parts of rubber dams using the potential energy of river water, to solve the current situation where there is no dedicated scrubbing device to replace traditional manual scrubbing, to solve the problem of using the potential energy of river water, which has zero energy cost, to replace relatively high energy costs such as oil and electricity as the power to drive the scrubbing brush, to solve the problem of the scrubbing brush having no empty stroke during the scrubbing process, to achieve continuous scrubbing without empty stroke, and to solve the problem of adjusting the scrubbing brush to adapt to different rubber dam surfaces.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is an automatic cleaning device for key parts of a rubber dam using the potential energy of river water. It includes five parts: a water supply pipe, a frame, a drive unit, a transmission unit, and a cleaning unit. One end of the water supply pipe is connected to the drive unit, and the other end is submerged in the water area intercepted by the rubber dam.

[0013] Optionally, a plurality of threaded holes are evenly spaced along the center line of the limiting base plate. These threaded holes are used to achieve threaded connection with the adjusting bolt. The adjusting bolt has a thread divided into two sections. The upper section is adjacent to the nut and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole on the limiting base plate. The lower section is separated from the upper section by a section with a diameter smaller than the minor diameter of the thread. The threads of the lower section and the upper section have opposite directions of rotation. Rotating the adjusting bolt in the forward direction allows the components connected to the upper and lower threaded sections to move towards each other, while rotating the adjusting bolt in the reverse direction allows the components connected to the upper and lower threaded sections to move in opposite directions. The straight line Two bearings are provided, respectively installed at both ends of the limiting plate, with their axes perpendicular to a straight line determined by the centers of several threaded holes; the support rods have circular holes at both ends, one end connected to the end face of the linear bearing, and the other end connected to the bent rod, with a total of four rods symmetrically distributed, and a stop wheel installed between each pair of support rods; the stop wheel has a ratchet mechanism inside, allowing rotation only in one direction and preventing reverse rotation; the bent rods are elliptical in shape, with circular holes at both ends, each connected to the support rod, with a total of two rods; the scrubbing brush consists of a brush base, bristles, and stop strips.

The short shafts are arranged in pairs facing each other, and the rollers are mounted on the short shafts. Several inner limiting strips are provided, the same number as the threaded holes on the limiting base plate, and are installed on both sides of the threaded holes on the limiting base plate. The further away from the central threaded hole, the longer the length of the inner limiting strip.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention discloses an automatic scrubbing device for key parts of a rubber dam that utilizes the potential energy of river water. The device includes a water supply pipe 1, a frame 2, a drive unit 3, a transmission unit 4, and a scrubbing unit 5. The water supply pipe 1 inputs the river water impounded by the rubber dam into the drive unit 3. Under the action of the gravitational potential energy of the river water, the impeller shaft 31 of the drive unit 3 rotates. Through the power transmission unit 4, the power is transmitted to drive the scrubbing unit 5 to perform reciprocating linear motion. The scrubbing brush 55 in the scrubbing unit scrubs the key parts of the rubber dam.

[0035] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown, one end of the water pipe 1 is connected to the drive unit 3, and the other end is submerged in the river water impounded by the rubber dam. The height of the submerged end is higher than the height of the connection between the water pipe 1 and the drive unit 3. According to the siphon principle, the water pipe 1 can continuously transport river water to the drive unit 3, and the water transport process has no energy cost.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the frame includes traveling wheels 20, rear uprights 21, middle uprights 22, front uprights 23, bottom support plate 24, lower support plate 25, middle support plate 26, upper support plate 27, top support frame 28, and cylindrical guide rails 29.

[0037] The bottom support plate 24, lower support plate 25, middle support plate 26, upper support plate 27, and top support frame 28 are placed horizontally in order from bottom to top, with consistent width on both sides and aligned left and right ends. The rear column 21, middle column 22, and front column 23 form one set, arranged in the rear, middle, and front positions, with one set on each side, for a total of two sets. In one set, the rear column 21 and front column 23 are connected to the left end of the bottom support plate 24, lower support plate 25, middle support plate 26, upper support plate 27, and top support frame. In the other set, the rear column 21 and front column 23 are connected to the right end of the bottom support plate 24, lower support plate 25, middle support plate 26, upper support plate 27, and top support frame. The middle column 22 in both sets is connected to the left and right ends of the bottom support plate 24 and lower support plate 25, respectively.

[0038] Two cylindrical guide rails 29 are provided. One cylindrical guide rail 29 is installed between the tops of the two rear columns 21, and the other cylindrical guide rail 29 is located between the middle of the two rear columns 21. Both ends of the cylindrical guide rail 29 are connected to the rear columns 21. One end of the cylindrical guide rail 29 is installed on the left rear column 21, and the other end is installed on the right rear column 21.

[0039] The walking wheels 20 are installed on the bottom support plate 24, which serve as support and walking functions. This allows the device of this utility model, which uses the potential energy of river water to automatically clean the key parts of the rubber dam, to move to any part along the length of the rubber dam. The cleaning of the key parts of the entire rubber dam adopts a segmented cleaning mode. This embodiment is only an embodiment of this utility model cleaning on one segment.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, the base 30 is mounted on the bottom support plate 24, and the impeller cover 33 is mounted on the base 30. The top of the impeller cover 33 has a water inlet, which is connected to the water inlet channel 35. The water inlet channel 35 is equipped with a water inlet 34, which is connected to the water supply pipe 1. The impeller 32 is mounted on the impeller shaft 31, and the impeller shaft 31 is mounted on the impeller cover 33. The extended end of the impeller shaft 31 is equipped with a drive gear 411. The river water transported by the water supply pipe 1 enters the water inlet channel 35 from both sides through the water inlet 34, and then flows into the impeller cover 33 from the water inlet channel 35. The river water entering the impeller cover 33 drives the impeller 32 to rotate. Since the river water flows continuously into the impeller cover 33, the impeller shaft 31 rotates continuously, and the drive gear 411 rotates continuously.

[0041] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the driving gear 411 meshes with the driven gear 412. Both are the same size and rotate at constant speeds. The driven gear 412 is mounted on the worm shaft 421. The worm 421 and driven gear 412 rotate synchronously. The worm 421 meshes with the worm wheel 422. For every revolution of the worm 421, the worm wheel 422 rotates one tooth. The worm wheel 422 is designed with 25 teeth. The worm wheel speed is reduced to one twenty-fifth of the worm speed. Without considering power loss, the torque is increased to twenty-five times the worm torque. The worm wheel 422 and the driving adjusting gear 431 are mounted on the same... On one shaft, both rotate synchronously. The driving adjusting gear 431 meshes with the driven adjusting gear 432; both are the same size and rotate at constant speeds. The meshing of the driving adjusting gear 431 and driven adjusting gear 432 determines the axial position of the driven adjusting gear 432. The forward rotating gear 441 and driven adjusting gear 432 are mounted on the same shaft and rotate synchronously. The forward rotating gear 441 meshes with the reverse rotating gear 442; both are the same size, so they rotate at the same speed but in opposite directions. A counter-rotating gear 442 is also mounted on the rotating shaft of the forward rotating gear 441. The incomplete gear 451 rotates synchronously with the forward gear 442. A reverse incomplete gear 452 is mounted on the shaft of the reverse rotating gear 442, and both rotate synchronously. The forward incomplete gear 451 and the reverse incomplete gear 452 achieve the same rotational speed but opposite directions of rotation. Their pitch circle diameters are the same, smaller than the pitch circle diameters of the forward and reverse rotating gears, and differ by more than 2.5 times the module of the forward rotating gear 441 or the module of the forward incomplete gear 451 (whichever is larger). Thus, they neither mesh nor interfere with each other. Both are in harmony with... The rack 46 meshes with the forward incomplete gear 451 and the reverse incomplete gear 452, both of which have half the number of teeth of a complete gear with the same pitch circle diameter. One of them is in a meshing state while the other is in a disengaged state, thus achieving alternating meshing with the rack 46. Under the action of the forward incomplete gear 451 and the reverse incomplete gear 452, the rack 46 achieves reciprocating linear motion. The rack 46 is mounted on the scrubbing unit 5, so the scrubbing unit 5 reciprocates linearly with the rack 46, realizing the function of continuously reciprocating scrubbing the key parts of the rubber dam.

[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, the rack 46 is mounted on the limiting base plate 51. Each end of the limiting base plate is connected to a linear bearing 50. The two linear bearings 50 are respectively mounted on two cylindrical guide rails 29, and the two are slidably connected. Under the constraint of the cylindrical guide rails 29 and driven by the rack 46, the entire scrubbing unit 5 realizes reciprocating linear motion along the axis of the cylindrical guide rails 29.

[0043] like Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the inner limiting strip 58 is installed in the middle part of the limiting base plate 51, located on both sides of the center line of the limiting base plate 51 and close to the center line. The outer limiting strip 59 is installed on both sides of the limiting base plate 51. The number of inner limiting strips 58 and outer limiting strips 59 is the same, and they are parallel to each other. The inner limiting strips 58 and outer limiting strips 59 of the same length are aligned and arranged, with the middle part being the shortest and the closer to the ends being the longer.

[0044] There are four support rods 52, symmetrically distributed, with round holes at both ends. One end is connected to the end of the linear bearing 50, and the other end is connected to the bent rod 53. A stop wheel 520 is installed between each pair of support rods 52. The stop wheel 520 has a ratchet mechanism inside and cannot be reversed. There are two bent rods 53, which are elliptical in shape, with round holes at both ends, and both are connected to the other end of the support rod 52.

[0045] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, several scrubbing brush support frames 56 are provided, with the same number of limiting grooves as the inner and outer limiting strips. They are arranged from the middle to both ends in order of increasing length, and are symmetrically distributed. They are all limited by the inner limiting strip 58 and the outer limiting strip 59. A threaded hole 562 is provided at the center of the upper end. The threaded hole 562 is threaded to the lower threaded part of the adjusting bolt 57. The lower end is divided into 4 parts, and each part has a transverse support shaft 561 at the bottom. The support shafts 561 are opposite to each other, and rollers 560 are installed on the support shafts 561. The rollers 560 are used to support the scrubbing brush 55. The upper threaded part of the adjusting bolt 57 is threaded to the threaded hole on the limiting plate 51. The direction of the thread is opposite to that of the lower thread, which can make the scrubbing brush support frame 56 move closer to and further away from the limiting plate 51, thereby adjusting the distance of the roller 560 from the key part of the rubber dam.

[0046] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 As shown, there are two scrubbing brushes 55, symmetrically distributed. Each brush consists of a brush base 550, bristles 551, and stop bars 552. The bristles 551 and stop bars 552 are mounted on the brush base 550. The shape of the brush base 550 is determined by the shape formed by the idler roller 560. The bristles 551 are vertically mounted on the brush base 550. The stop bars 552 have a rectangular cross-section and are symmetrically mounted on the two sides of the brush base 550 on the side opposite to the bristles 551 in the width direction. This is to prevent the scrubbing brushes 55 from slipping off the idler roller 560. The two ends of the scrubbing brushes 55 in the length direction are connected to the anti-reverse wheel 520. The anti-reverse wheel 520 can only rotate in one direction, so rotating the anti-reverse wheel can keep the scrubbing brushes 55 in a taut state.

[0047] The working principle of the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: First, the inside of the water supply pipe 1 is filled with water, and both ends are temporarily blocked. One end is completely submerged in the river water impounded by the rubber dam, and the other end is installed on the water inlet 34 of the drive unit 3, ensuring that the water level is higher than the height of the water inlet 34. At the same time, the temporary blocking measures at both ends of the water supply pipe 1 are lifted. According to the siphon principle, the river water will continuously enter the water inlet channel 35. The water inlet channel 35 is connected to the inside of the impeller cover 33. The connection point is located on one side adjacent to the center line of the impeller cover 33. The diameter of the impeller 32 is the same as the inner diameter of the impeller cover 33. The river water entering the impeller cover 33 pushes the impeller 32 on one side downward under the action of gravity. The rotation of the impeller shaft 31, under the action of the impeller 32, causes the drive gear 411 mounted on the extended end of the impeller shaft to rotate. The drive gear 411 drives the driven gear 412 meshing with it. Both have the same diameter, and the driven gear 412 rotates in the opposite direction at a constant speed. The driven gear 412 is mounted on the worm shaft, and the worm 421 rotates in the same direction and at the same speed. The worm 421 drives the 25-tooth worm wheel 422, causing the speed of the worm wheel 422 to decrease to one-twenty-fifth of the speed of the worm 421, and the torque of the worm wheel 422 to increase to twenty-five times that of the worm 421. The direction of rotation of the worm wheel 422 changes to be opposite to that of the original worm 421. In the vertical direction of the rotating shaft, the driving adjusting gear 431 and the worm gear 422 are mounted on the same shaft. The driving adjusting gear 431 meshes with the driven adjusting gear 432, which adjusts the axial position of the driven adjusting gear 432. A forward rotating gear 441 and a forward partially rotating gear 451 are also mounted on the shaft where the driven adjusting gear 432 is located. This axial position is precisely the appropriate position required by the forward rotating gear 441 and the forward partially rotating gear 451. The forward rotating gear 441 meshes with the reverse rotating gear 442; they are the same size but rotate in opposite directions. A reverse partially rotating gear 452 is mounted on the shaft where the reverse rotating gear 442 is located. The forward partially rotating gear 451 and the reverse partially rotating gear 452... Gear 452 is identical, but its pitch circle diameter is smaller than that of the forward-rotating gear 441. The two do not mesh and do not interfere with each other. Both have teeth within a continuous 180° range and no teeth within another continuous 180° range. Both mesh with rack 46, but not simultaneously. That is, the forward incomplete gear 451 meshes with rack 46 within a 180° rotation range, while the reverse incomplete gear 452 disengages from rack 46. Then, the reverse incomplete gear 452 meshes with rack 46 within a 180° rotation range, while the forward incomplete gear 451 disengages from rack 46, and so on. Rack 46 is always in a meshed state, realizing reciprocating linear movement.The rack 46 is mounted on the scrubbing unit 5. The scrubbing unit 5 is limited by the cylindrical guide rail 29 and can only move linearly along the axis of the cylindrical guide rail 29. The axis of the cylindrical guide rail 29 is parallel to the pitch line of the rack 46. Therefore, the scrubbing unit 5 performs reciprocating linear motion under the drive of the rack 46. The distance between the scrubbing brush support frame 56 and the rubber dam surface is adjusted by adjusting the adjusting bolt 57. The roller 560 is mounted on the scrubbing brush support frame 56, and the scrubbing brush 55 is supported by the roller 560. Therefore, the adjusting bolt 57 adjusts the distance between the scrubbing brush 55 and the rubber dam surface. Adjusting several adjusting bolts 57 simultaneously ensures that the bristles 550 of the scrubbing brush 55 are in contact with the rubber dam surface. The ratchet mechanism inside the anti-reverse wheel 520 keeps the scrubbing brush 55 in a taut state. In this way, the reciprocating linear movement of the scrubbing brush 55 achieves continuous scrubbing of the key parts of the rubber dam.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
