Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tools and implements, specifically to a tool for cleaning up accumulated sand. Background Technology

[0002] With continuous breakthroughs in natural gas exploration and development technologies, large-volume sand fracturing technology is increasingly being applied to the stimulation of ultra-deep and high-pressure gas reservoirs. However, after gas wells using large-volume sand fracturing technology are put into production, they generally produce a large amount of sand due to factors such as the self-generated sand after the formation is fractured, the propping sand added during the fracturing process, and the degree of fracture closure. This sand from gas wells accumulates in processes such as gravity separators, storage tanks, and pipelines, affecting the normal function of the equipment and impacting safe production. It is necessary to clean up the accumulated sand in a timely manner.

[0003] Currently, there are two main ways to clean sand from process equipment: one is to open the equipment itself, such as gravity separators, and the other is to carry out operations in confined spaces, such as storage tanks. Both sand cleaning operations require the use of tools such as water pipes, shovels, and steel brushes. For confined spaces, workers need to carry multiple tools at once and change tools multiple times during the operation, resulting in low operating efficiency and being time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of existing sand cleaning operations, which require carrying multiple tools and changing them multiple times, resulting in low operating efficiency and being time-consuming and labor-intensive, and to provide a sand cleaning tool.

[0005] This utility model provides a tool for cleaning accumulated sand, including: A shovel board, wherein the shovel board is provided with a flow guide groove that extends through the edge of the shovel board; An operating lever is hinged to the shovel plate. The operating lever is provided with a water delivery channel that axially extends through the operating lever and is positioned opposite to the guide channel.

[0006] This utility model discloses a sand cleaning tool. Through an operating rod with a water delivery channel, water can be output along the surface of the shovel board while it is in use. It integrates a water pipe and shovel, reducing the frequency of tool changes and improving worker efficiency. Simultaneously, the continuous water flow washes away the sand in front of the shovel board, reducing the difficulty of cleaning and increasing efficiency. Furthermore, the guide channel directs the water flow, diverting it to all sides of the shovel board, further enhancing the cleaning effect and efficiency.

[0007] Preferably, the guide channel includes a first channel and several second channels, the first channel being arranged longitudinally along the shovel plate, and the second channels intersecting and communicating with the first channel. The first and second channels disperse the water flow, expanding the water scouring range.

[0008] Preferably, one edge of the shovel blade has a notch or groove, and a steel brush plate is embedded in the notch or groove, extending out of the shovel blade. This integrates the steel brush tool, further reducing the frequency of tool replacement and improving worker efficiency.

[0009] Preferably, the shovel plate is provided with a hinge plate, and the end of the operating rod is provided with a hinge joint, which is connected to the hinge plate by a pin. The hinge plate is provided with several limiting grooves, and the end of the operating rod is fitted with a limiting ring. The limiting ring is provided with a limiting block, which can nest and cooperate with the limiting grooves. By cooperating with the limiting grooves at different positions, the limiting of the shovel plate in different folding directions can be achieved, enabling the sand cleaning tool to perform different tasks such as shoveling, scraping, brushing, and digging.

[0010] Preferably, a spring is provided between the limiting ring and the operating rod, the spring being fitted onto the operating rod, and the operating rod having a stepped plate that abuts against the spring. The spring ensures stable contact between the limiting ring and the shovel plate.

[0011] Preferably, the operating lever is provided with a locking ring, which is threadedly connected to the operating lever and can abut against the limiting ring. The locking ring further stabilizes the position of the limiting ring.

[0012] Preferably, the operating lever comprises several lever segments, with adjacent lever segments threaded together. This allows the operating lever to be adjusted in length according to actual conditions.

[0013] Preferably, the operating lever is provided with an anti-slip component.

[0014] Preferably, the end of the operating lever away from the shovel plate is detachably connected to a quick connector, the quick connector being equipped with an extension water pipe, and the operating lever or the extension water pipe being equipped with a valve. Water is supplied to the operating lever through the extension water pipe, and the quick connector enables a quick connection between the extension water pipe and the operating lever.

[0015] Preferably, the shovel plate has a cavity inside, and the shovel plate has several water outlets communicating with the cavity. The water outlets are distributed along the edge of the shovel plate, and the water delivery channel is connected to the cavity via a connecting pipe. This further expands the water flow scouring range, ensuring that the water flow can be dispersed and output around the shovel plate, thereby improving cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model provides a sand cleaning tool that allows water to flow along the surface of a shovel while it is in use, thanks to the operating rod with a water channel. It integrates a water pipe and shovel that do not need to be carried separately, which can reduce the frequency of tool replacement and improve the efficiency of workers. 2. This utility model provides a sand cleaning tool that uses water flow to continuously flush the sand in front of the shovel blade, which can reduce the difficulty of cleaning sand and improve cleaning efficiency; 3. This utility model provides a sand cleaning tool that guides and transports water through a guide channel, causing the water to be diverted to all sides on the shovel plate, thereby improving the cleaning effect and efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. However, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention to the following embodiments; all technologies implemented based on the content of the present invention fall within the scope of the present invention.

[0027] Unless otherwise specified, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "center," "inner," and "outer" used in the description of specific embodiments of this utility model to indicate orientation or positional relationships are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the utility model product / equipment / device is usually placed during use. These terms are merely for the purpose of facilitating the description of the utility model solution or simplifying the description in specific embodiments, and for enabling those skilled in the art to quickly understand the solution, and do not indicate or imply that a specific device / component / element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific positional relationship. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0028] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "horizontal," "vertical," "suspended," "parallel," and "coaxial" does not imply that the corresponding device / component / element must be absolutely horizontal, vertical, suspended, parallel, or coaxial. Slight tilt or deviation is permissible, as long as it does not affect the normal function of the relevant component. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," not that the structure must be perfectly horizontal; a slight tilt is acceptable. "Coaxial" means that two components are arranged as coaxially as possible, allowing them to move coaxially or approximately coaxially when their relative positions change. Alternatively, it can be simplified to mean that the corresponding device / component / element, when arranged in "horizontal," "vertical," "suspended," "parallel," or "coaxial" directions, can have an error / deviation of ±10% relative to the corresponding direction, more preferably within ±8%, more preferably within ±6%, more preferably within ±5%, and more preferably within ±4%. For example, the deviation in the "coaxial" direction is controlled within 0.2-1mm, preferably within 0.2-0.5mm. As long as the corresponding device / component / element is within the error / deviation range, it can still achieve its function in the present invention.

[0029] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first," "second," and "third" in terminology is merely for distinguishing descriptions of identical or similar components and should not be interpreted as emphasizing or implying the relative importance of a particular component.

[0030] Furthermore, in the description of the embodiments of this utility model, "several", "multiple", and "several" represent at least two. The number can be any number, such as two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, or nine, and can even exceed nine.

[0031] Furthermore, in the description of the technical solution of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified / limited / restricted, the terms "set up," "install," "connect," "link," "provided with," "laid out," and "arranged" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to common connection methods in the art, such as welding, riveting, bolting, and threaded connections. Such connections can be mechanical, electrical, or communication connections; they can be direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal communication between two components.

[0032] Example 1 like Figures 1-8 As shown, a sand cleaning tool includes a shovel plate 1 and an operating rod 2. The shovel plate 1 is provided with a guide groove 12 that runs through the edge of the shovel plate 1. The operating rod 2 is hinged to the shovel plate 1. The operating rod 2 is provided with a water delivery channel 21 that axially passes through the operating rod 2. The water delivery channel 21 is arranged opposite to the guide groove 12.

[0033] The shovel blade 1 is located at the front end of the sand cleaning tool and can be used to shovel and dig sand. The operating lever 2 is used for hand gripping and operation, which facilitates control of the cleaning direction of the shovel blade 1.

[0034] In optional implementations, such as Figure 1 As shown, the guide channel 12 may include a first channel and several second channels. The first channel is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the shovel plate 1, and the second channels are intersected and connected with the first channel. When the surface of the shovel plate 1 is used in a parallel state with the operating rod 2, water is delivered along the operating rod 2 through the water supply channel 21. The water flow is output from the end of the operating rod 2 and impacts the surface of the shovel plate 1 along the longitudinal direction of the operating rod 2. It is then transported along the guide channel 12 and dispersed through the first and second channels, so that the water flow is dispersed and output from the four edges of the shovel plate 1. This achieves the flushing of accumulated sand in a certain range in front of the shovel plate 1, which has a loosening effect on the accumulated sand and helps to improve the sand cleaning efficiency and effect. When the surface of the shovel plate 1 is used at an angle to the operating rod 2, the water flow output from the end of the operating rod 2 can also impact the shovel plate 1, thus guiding the water flow output.

[0035] In one or more implementations, such as Figure 3As shown, a hinge plate 11 is provided on one side of the shovel plate 1, and a protruding hinge joint 22 is provided at the end of the operating rod 2. The hinge joint 22 and the hinge plate 11 can be connected by a pin 4, so that the shovel plate 1 can rotate relative to the operating rod 2, thereby changing the usage state of the shovel plate 1.

[0036] In an optional embodiment, two parallel hinge plates 11 may be provided on the shovel plate 1, and the hinge joint 22 may be embedded between the two hinge plates 11.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the shape of the hinge joint 22 can be set as a block structure, and the water supply channel 21 is misaligned with the hinge joint 22 at the end of the operating rod 2 and located on the side of the hinge joint 22 away from the shovel plate 1, so as to ensure that the water flow output by the water supply channel 21 can impact the shovel plate 1.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the hinge joint 22 can be configured as two parallel plate-shaped structural members that fit snugly against the hinge plate 11 and are connected to the corresponding hinge plate 11 by two pins 4. The water conveying channel 21 is located between the two plate-shaped structural members at the end of the operating rod 2, which can increase the water flow rate of the water conveying channel 21 and improve the sand removal effect of the water flow.

[0039] In optional implementations, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, several limiting grooves 111 can be provided on the hinge plate 11. The limiting grooves 111 can be distributed around the hinge plate 11. The end of the operating rod 2 can be fitted with a limiting ring 5. The limiting ring 5 is provided with a limiting block 51. The limiting block 51 can be nested and cooperate with the limiting groove 111. By cooperating with the limiting groove 111 at different positions, the shovel plate 1 can be limited in different folding directions, so that the sand cleaning tool can be adapted to different work such as shoveling, scraping, brushing, and digging.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, a spring 6 can be provided between the limiting ring 5 and the operating rod 2. The spring 6 is fitted onto the operating rod 2, and the operating rod 2 is provided with a stepped plate 23 that abuts against the spring 6. By pulling the limiting ring 5 and the operating rod 2 relative to each other along the axial direction of the operating rod 2, the relative positional relationship between the limiting block 51 and the limiting groove 111 can be changed. After releasing the hand force, the spring 6 causes the limiting block 51 to engage with the corresponding limiting groove 111, so as to facilitate the adjustment and limiting of the relative angle between the shovel plate 1 and the operating rod 2, and keep the shovel plate 1 in a stable angle state with the operating rod 2.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, a locking ring 7 can be provided on the operating lever 2. The locking ring 7 can be threadedly connected to the operating lever 2. The locking ring 7 can rotate to abut against the limiting ring 5. The locking ring 7 further stabilizes the position of the limiting ring 5 during tool use, ensuring the stability of the relative angle between the shovel plate 1 and the operating lever 2.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the operating lever 2 may include several lever segments 24, with adjacent lever segments 24 threaded together. This allows the length of the operating lever 2 to be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, an anti-slip component 8 may be provided on the operating lever 2. The anti-slip component 8 may be a rough section provided on the outer wall of the operating lever 2, an anti-slip sleeve fitted on the operating lever 2, or other structures that can provide an anti-slip effect, so as to facilitate the hand operation of the operating lever 2 for sand cleaning.

[0044] In optional implementations, such as Figure 8 As shown, the end of the operating lever 2 furthest from the shovel plate 1 can be detachably connected to a quick connector 9. The quick connector 9 can be equipped with an extension water pipe 10, and a valve can be installed on the operating lever 2 or the extension water pipe 10. In use, the extension water pipe 10 can be quickly connected to the operating lever 2 via the quick connector 9, and water can be supplied to the water supply channel 21 of the operating lever 2 via the extension water pipe 10, thus achieving long-distance communication between the tool and the water supply mechanism.

[0045] In one or more implementations, such as Figures 5-8 As shown, a notch 13 is provided on one side edge of the shovel plate 1, and a steel brush plate 3 can be embedded in the notch 13. The steel brush plate 3 can extend out of the shovel plate 1. This enables the integration of steel brush tools, reduces the frequency of tool replacement, and improves the operating efficiency of workers.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, the notch 13 can be a notch provided on one side of the shovel plate 1. The notch 13 can be provided with a groove for limiting the steel brush plate 3. The steel brush plate 3 can be composed of a plate body and a steel brush part. The plate body can be inserted into the groove of the notch 13. The steel brush part can be used to brush the area to be cleaned, such as the inner wall of a tank, by moving the operating rod 2.

[0047] In one or more embodiments, a cavity can be provided inside the shovel plate 1, and a plurality of water outlet holes 14 communicating with the cavity can be distributed around the perimeter of the shovel plate 1. The water supply channel 21 and the cavity can be connected through a connecting pipe 20, so that the water flow in the water supply channel 21 can enter the cavity along the connecting pipe 20 and then be discharged from the distributed water outlet holes 14. This can provide water flow to the front of the four edges of the shovel plate 1, realize the flushing of sand in the corresponding position, make the sand loose and easier to clean, and further expand the flushing range of the water flow through the distribution of the water outlet holes 14, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and cleaning effect.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the shovel plate 1 can be a double-layer steel plate welded structure to form a cavity, and the water outlet 14 can be formed by pre-reserving welds, drilling holes, or embedding conduits between the double-layer steel plates.

[0049] In optional implementations, such as Figure 8 As shown, the shovel plate 1 can be provided with a short connecting pipe at the bottom edge, and the operating rod 2 can be provided with a short connecting pipe at a suitable position on the side wall. The two short connecting pipes are connected by a flexible material connecting pipe 20 with sufficient length reserved so that the shovel plate 1 can rotate smoothly and water can be smoothly delivered into the cavity through the water delivery channel 21 of the operating rod 2.

[0050] This embodiment of a sand-cleaning tool allows the shovel plate 1 to output water along its surface while in use via an operating lever 2 with a water delivery channel 21. This integrates the water pipe and shovel, reducing the frequency of tool changes and improving worker efficiency. Simultaneously, the continuous flushing of sand in front of the shovel plate 1 by the water flow reduces the difficulty of cleaning the sand and improves cleaning efficiency and effect. Furthermore, the guide channel 12 guides and delivers the water flow, causing it to be distributed to all sides on the shovel plate 1, which further enhances the cleaning effect and efficiency.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
