Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass curtain wall technology, specifically to an underwater glass curtain wall with self-cleaning function. Background Technology

[0002] Underwater glass curtain walls are a special type of architectural structure, commonly used in aquariums, swimming pools, underwater restaurants, and other venues, allowing people to observe aquatic life or enjoy a unique dining experience in an underwater environment. Such curtain walls require extremely high waterproof performance, pressure resistance, and safety.

[0003] Currently, cleaning underwater glass curtain walls often requires workers to wear diving suits, dive underwater, and manually clean the glass curtain walls. This method is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Therefore, we need an underwater glass curtain wall with self-cleaning capabilities. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an underwater glass curtain wall with self-cleaning function to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: An underwater glass curtain wall with self-cleaning function includes an underwater glass curtain wall body and a wall frame, wherein the underwater glass curtain wall body is fixedly connected to the inner side of the wall frame, and further includes: The guide components are distributed vertically and fixedly connected to the inner side of the wall frame; The cleaning component includes a horizontal support plate that slides vertically and is connected to a guide component, and a brush disposed on the horizontal support plate, the brush abutting against the inner surface of the underwater glass curtain wall body. The lifting control component includes a buoyancy box fixedly connected to the end of the transverse support plate along its length and having a hollow inner cavity, an air inlet pipe communicating with the inner cavity of the buoyancy box, a water inlet / outlet pipe connected to the bottom of the buoyancy box and an exhaust pipe connected to the top, and an electromagnetic switch valve installed on the exhaust pipe. The end of the air inlet pipe away from the buoyancy box is connected to a gas delivery component for delivering gas into the buoyancy box, which drives the cleaning component to reciprocate relative to the inner surface of the underwater glass curtain wall body along the trajectory defined by the guide component.

[0006] Preferably, a one-way valve is provided at the end of the air intake pipe near the buoyancy box.

[0007] Preferably, the gas delivery assembly includes an air compressor, and one end of the air compressor's outlet is connected to the air inlet pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the transverse support plate is further provided with a negative pressure suction component, the negative pressure suction component comprising: The suction pipe is fixedly connected to the horizontal support plate and its length is distributed along the length direction of the horizontal support plate. The suction pipe has a suction hole on the side facing the underwater glass curtain wall body. The sewage pipe is connected to the suction pipe at one end and to the input end of the sewage pump at the other end. The filter box is connected to the output end of the sludge pump.

[0009] Preferably, there are multiple suction holes, and the multiple suction holes are evenly distributed at intervals along the length of the suction pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the filter box includes a box body, a cover plate, a filter screen, and a drain pipe. The cover plate is rotatably connected to the upper end of the box body, the filter screen is detachably installed on the inner wall of the box body, and the drain pipe is located at the lower end of the box body.

[0013] Beneficial effects This utility model provides an underwater glass curtain wall with self-cleaning function, which has the following beneficial effects: 1. This device can drive the cleaning component to move up and down along the underwater glass curtain wall body through the lifting control component, thereby cleaning the inner side of the underwater glass curtain wall body through the brush of the cleaning component. Compared with manual cleaning, the entire cleaning process is time-saving and labor-saving, effectively improving cleaning efficiency. Moreover, the guide component is used to guide the brush to ensure that it always moves parallel to the glass surface, with uniform pressure, no dead corners, and it will not be affected by water flow and sway like a soft cable traction robot. 2. The lifting control unit uses an air compressor to inject air into the buoyancy box through the air intake pipe, which can displace the water in the buoyancy box. The buoyancy generated by the buoyancy box can drive the cleaning component to move upward. When the cleaning component rises to the highest position, the electromagnetic switch valve is opened, and the air in the buoyancy box is discharged through the exhaust pipe, which can make the cleaning component descend back to the lowest position. At the same time, the water can be oxygenated during the air discharge process, which is beneficial to the survival of fish. 3. By setting up a negative pressure suction component and using a sewage pump, the sewage generated during the cleaning of the underwater glass curtain wall can be sucked into the suction pipe through the suction hole. Finally, the sewage is sent into the filter box through the sewage pipe and the sewage pump, and the sewage is filtered by the filter box to effectively prevent water pollution.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] First Embodiment Please see Figures 1-3 This utility model provides an underwater glass curtain wall with self-cleaning function, including an underwater glass curtain wall body 1 and a wall frame 2. The underwater glass curtain wall body 1 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the wall frame 2. Two pairs of support ear plates 3 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the underwater side of the wall frame 2. Limiting slide rods 4 are fixedly connected between the two pairs of support ear plates 3. A cleaning component 5 is slidably connected between the two sets of limiting slide rods 4. The cleaning component 5 can be raised and lowered. The cleaning component 5 includes a horizontal support plate 6 and a brush 7. The horizontal support plate 6 is horizontally distributed along the left and right direction and has sliding holes at both ends of the length direction that are respectively slidably connected to the two sets of limiting slide rods 4. The brush 7 is fixedly connected to the surface of the horizontal support plate 6 and abuts against the inner side of the underwater glass curtain wall body 1 (i.e., the side in contact with the water).

[0017] The cleaning component 5 is also connected to a lifting control component, which includes an air compressor 8, an air inlet pipe 9, a buoyancy box 10, an inlet / outlet water pipe 11, and an exhaust pipe 12. The buoyancy box 10 is fixedly connected to the right end of the transverse support plate 6. The air inlet pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the buoyancy box 10. The air inlet pipe 9 is specifically a flexible hose, which can adapt to the up and down movement of the buoyancy box 10. The output end of the air compressor 8 is fixedly connected to the end of the air inlet pipe 9 away from the buoyancy box 10. The inlet / outlet water pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the buoyancy box 10. The exhaust pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the buoyancy box 10, and an electromagnetic switch valve 13 is provided on the exhaust pipe 12.

[0018] In this embodiment Figure 1 Only one set of lifting control components is marked. Of course, in order to ensure that the horizontal support plate 6 is subjected to uniform force on both sides during the upward movement of the cleaning component 5, a set of lifting control components can be set on each side of the horizontal support plate 6. At the same time, the air intake flow and air intake speed of the two sets of lifting control components should be kept consistent, so that the horizontal support plate 6 can slide upward smoothly and avoid jamming due to uneven force on both sides.

[0019] When the air compressor 8 is working, air is injected into the buoyancy box 10 through the air intake pipe 9, which can discharge the water in the buoyancy box 10. Using the buoyancy generated by the buoyancy box 10, the cleaning component 5 can be driven to slide upward along the limit slide bar 4. When the cleaning component 5 rises to the highest position, the electromagnetic switch valve 13 is opened, and the air in the buoyancy box 10 is discharged through the exhaust pipe 12, which can make the cleaning component 5 descend back to the lowest position. At the same time, the underwater glass curtain wall body 1 is automatically cleaned, and the air can also be discharged through the exhaust pipe 12 to oxygenate the water, thereby increasing the oxygen content in the water and benefiting the survival of fish.

[0020] It should be noted that the electromagnetic switch valve 13 is selected with an IP68 or higher waterproof rating. It can be connected to the signal output terminal of an external PLC controller via a signal line. Furthermore, the PLC controller has a built-in timer program that periodically opens / closes the electromagnetic switch valve 13 through a cyclic timing mode. This part is common knowledge in the field, and relevant existing technologies for the timer program controller for the timed cyclic control of electromagnetic valves can be referred to. It will not be elaborated further in this embodiment.

[0021] A one-way valve 14 is provided at one end of the air intake pipe 9 near the buoyancy box 10. By providing the one-way valve 14, the air in the buoyancy box 10 can be effectively prevented from flowing out of the air intake pipe 9 in the reverse direction.

[0022] When conducting structural design, the following conditions must be ensured: First, when the buoyancy box 10 is filled with air, the buoyancy generated is at least able to overcome the gravity (including the horizontal support plate 6 and the brush 7) and the total friction of the overall structure to float upwards. The gravity refers to the total dry weight of the buoyancy box 10 and the cleaning component 5 in the air minus the buoyancy of the water it displaces. Second, when the buoyancy tank 10 is filled with water, it must be able to sink by gravity over friction.

[0023] Additionally, it should be noted that, in order to prevent the buoyancy of the buoyancy box 10 from rising too quickly and causing the transverse support plate 6 to slide upward rapidly and touch the support ear plate 3, when the air compressor 8 is used to fill the buoyancy box 10 with gas, the speed of the air compressor 8 can be controlled or a flow control valve can be set at the output port to adjust the gas flow (it is necessary to ensure that the buoyancy box 10 can complete the ascent within one closing cycle of the solenoid valve 13 and the buoyancy box 13 can complete the descent within one opening cycle of the solenoid valve 13), so that the cleaning component 5 rises smoothly and avoids the risk of vibration or cracking of the underwater glass curtain wall body 1 due to a strong rigid collision between the transverse support plate 6 and the support ear plate 3. Of course, an elastic buffer pad can also be set on the lower end face of the upper support ear plate 3, i.e., the side close to the transverse support plate 6, to reduce the impact force during contact. The above are all conventional technical means, and will not be elaborated on in this embodiment.

[0024] Second Embodiment This embodiment, based on the first embodiment, also includes a negative pressure suction component.

[0025] For details, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The negative pressure suction assembly includes a suction pipe 15, a discharge pipe 16, a sludge pump 17, and a filter box 18. The suction pipe 15 is fixedly installed on the horizontal support plate 6. In this embodiment, the suction pipe 15 is fixed on the side of the horizontal support plate 6 away from the brush 7, and the suction pipe 15 has multiple sets of evenly spaced suction holes 19 along its length. One end of the discharge pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the input end of the sludge pump 17, and the other end of the discharge pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the end of the suction pipe 15. The discharge pipe 16 is configured as a flexible hose, which can accommodate the up and down movement of the suction pipe 15. The filter box 18 is located at the output end of the sludge pump 17.

[0026] The filter box 18 includes a box body 20, a cover plate 21, a filter screen 22, and a drain pipe 23. The cover plate 21 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the box body 20. The filter screen 22 is detachably installed on the inner wall of the box body 20. The drain pipe 23 is located at the lower end of the box body 20. The output end of the sewage pump 17 is located above the filter screen 22. By rotating the cover plate 21, the box body 20 can be easily opened, which facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the filter screen 22. By setting the filter screen 22, the sewage discharged by the sewage pump 17 can be filtered. By setting the drain pipe 23, the filtered water can be easily reintroduced into the water body.

[0027] The working principle of this device is as follows: When using this device to clean underwater glass curtain walls, the air compressor 8 can be turned on first. The air compressor 8 works and injects air into the buoyancy box 10 through the air inlet pipe 9, which can discharge the water in the buoyancy box 10 through the water inlet and outlet pipes 11. According to Archimedes' principle, the volume of displaced water increases, and the buoyancy increases. When the net buoyancy overcomes the weight and frictional resistance of the buoyancy box 10 and the cleaning component 5, the cleaning component 5 floats up and is guided by the limiting slide rod 4. During the ascent, the cleaning component 5 cleans the inner side of the underwater glass curtain wall body 1 with the brush 7, thus achieving the cleaning work of the underwater glass curtain wall body 1. When the cleaning component 5 rises to the highest point, the air compressor 8 is turned off. When the electromagnetic switch valve 13 is opened, the external water enters the buoyancy box 10 through the inlet and outlet pipes 11 at the bottom of the buoyancy box 10 under the action of hydrostatic pressure. As the average density of the buoyancy box 10 increases, the net buoyancy decreases until it turns into negative buoyancy (gravity dominates). At this time, the cleaning component 5 descends to the lowest position again and exhausts air through the exhaust pipe 12, which can oxygenate the water. Moreover, during the cleaning process, the sewage pump 17 can be started simultaneously to suck the sewage generated when cleaning the underwater glass curtain wall body 1 into the suction pipe 15 through the suction hole 19. Finally, the sewage is sent into the filter box 18 through the discharge pipe 16 and the sewage pump 17, and the sewage is filtered by the filter box 18 to reduce water pollution.

[0028] The accompanying drawings of the embodiments disclosed in this utility model only involve the structures involved in the embodiments disclosed in this utility model. Other structures can refer to the general design. In the absence of conflict, the same embodiment and different embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other. Finally: 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, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
