The spraying assembly is rotatably mounted on the constraint frame and inserted into the tank body for spraying cleaning medium into the tank. The drive assembly is connected to the spray assembly and inserted into the tank body, with one end connected to the scraper for driving the scraper to move.

[0014] 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 a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0015] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model discloses a latex matrix storage tank cleaning device, including: a positioning component 1 and a cleaning component 2; The positioning component 1 includes a constraint frame 11 and a constraint assembly 12 disposed at the inlet of the storage tank; The constraint component 12 is disposed inside the constraint frame 11 and can be detachably connected to the tank inlet to constrain the movement of the constraint frame 11; The cleaning component 2 includes a spray assembly 21, a drive assembly 22, a first power unit 23, and a scraper 24; The spray assembly 21 is rotatably mounted on the constraint frame 11 and inserted into the tank, and is used to spray cleaning medium into the tank. It is connected to the spray assembly 21 and inserted into the tank, with one end connected to the scraper 24 for driving the scraper 24 to move. The first power unit 23 is mounted on the constraint frame 11 and connected to the spray assembly 21, and is used to drive its rotation. The scraper 24 is used to clean the matrix residue on the tank wall.
[0016] In practice, the operator inserts the cleaning component 2 into the tank through the tank inlet and places the constraint frame 11 at the tank inlet. Then, the constraint component 12 is connected to the tank inlet to constrain the movement of the constraint frame 11 and ensure the stability of the cleaning component 2. At this time, the drive component 22 is coaxially set with the tank. Next, the drive component 22 works to bring the scraper 24 close to the tank wall until it contacts it. Then, the spray component 21 sprays cleaning medium onto the cleaning area of the scraper 24. The first power unit 23 works and drives the drive component 22 to rotate through the spray component 21, thereby driving the cleaning plate to rotate around the center of the tank, thereby scraping off the matrix residue on the tank wall. When it is necessary to change the cleaning position, the drive component 22 drives the scraper 24 to move vertically up and down, thereby changing the relative position of the scraper 24 and the tank, so that the matrix residue in other parts of the tank can be cleaned. The scraped matrix residue is discharged from the tank outlet under the action of the cleaning medium.
[0017] In this invention, the worker inserts the cleaning component 2 into the tank, and then the constraint frame 11 is positioned at the tank inlet by the constraint component 12 to ensure the stability of the cleaning component 2. The drive component 22 drives the scraper 24 to move inside the tank until it contacts the tank wall. Then the spray component 21 sprays the cleaning medium onto the scraper 24. The first power unit 23 drives the scraper 24 to rotate to scrape off the matrix residue attached to the tank wall. The scraped matrix residue flows out of the tank with the cleaning medium. The entire workflow greatly reduces manual intervention and eliminates the need for workers to enter the tank, thereby reducing labor intensity and improving construction safety.
[0018] Preferably, the first power unit 23 can be an electric motor from the prior art.
[0019] Preferably, the cleaning medium can be water, which is a technology in the prior art.
[0020] In one embodiment, the drive assembly includes a first telescopic rod 221 connected to the spray assembly 21 and vertically inserted into the tank, with its telescopic end extending into the tank and provided with a connecting seat 222; The connecting seat 222 is rotatably provided with a second telescopic rod 223, and a second power unit 224 is also provided on one side of it. The moving end of the second power unit 224 is connected to the fixed end of the second telescopic rod 223 to drive it to rotate. The telescopic end of the second telescopic rod 223 is rotatably connected to the scraper 24, and is used to drive the scraper 24 to move towards or away from the pipe wall; The telescopic end of the second telescopic rod 223 is provided with a third power unit 225, the moving end of which is connected to the scraper 24 and is used to drive the scraper 24 to rotate.
[0021] With this design, when the first telescopic rod 221 is inserted into the tank, the second power unit 224 drives the second telescopic rod 223 to rotate and unfold it until the second telescopic rod 223 is perpendicular to the first telescopic rod 221. Then, the third power unit 225 drives the scraper 24 to rotate until it corresponds to the tank wall. At this time, the scraper 24 is perpendicular to the second telescopic rod 223, and the telescopic end of the second telescopic rod 223 extends so that the scraper 24 contacts the tank wall. The cleaning component 2 sprays cleaning medium onto the cleaning area of the scraper 24. At the same time, the first power unit 23 drives the first telescopic rod 221 to rotate to scrape off the matrix residue on the tank wall. The first telescopic rod 221 can extend and retract to drive the scraper 24 to move vertically up and down, thereby changing the relative position of the scraper 24 and the tank body, so that the scraper 24 can clean the entire tank wall. After cleaning is completed, the third power unit 225 rotates so that the scraper 24 is parallel to the second telescopic rod 223. Then the second power unit 224 drives the second telescopic rod 223 to rotate upward, thereby shrinking the overall space occupied by the cleaning component 2 so that the staff can take it out of the tank.
[0022] Preferably, both the first telescopic rod 221 and the second telescopic rod 223 can be electric telescopic rods as used in the prior art.
[0023] Preferably, both the second power unit 224 and the third power unit 225 can be motors from the prior art.
[0024] It should be noted that the scraper 24 consists of a base rotatably mounted on the telescopic end of the second telescopic rod 223 and a cleaning plate. The base is connected to the third power unit 225, and the cleaning plate is detachably bolted to the base, so that the operator can replace different types of cleaning plates according to the actual condition of the tank wall.
[0025] It should be noted that the connecting seat 222 is provided with a first protective cover covering the second power unit 224, and the telescopic end of the second telescopic rod 223 is provided with a second protective cover covering the third power unit 225, so as to avoid the operation of each power unit being affected by external factors.
[0026] In one embodiment, a gear 3 is provided on the moving end of the first power unit 23; The spray assembly 21 includes a water delivery cylinder, which is composed of a positioning seat 211 mounted on the constraint frame 11 and a cylinder 212 rotatably mounted at its bottom. The positioning seat 211 has a water inlet communicating with the inner cavity of the cylinder 212, and the water inlet is connected to an external water delivery pipe (not shown in the figure). The water delivery pipe is used to deliver the cleaning medium into the cylinder 212. The cylinder 212 is vertically inserted into the constraint frame 11 and rotatably connected to it, and a gear ring 213 that meshes with the gear 3 is fitted on its extended end; The first telescopic rod 221 is coaxially sleeved inside the water delivery cylinder, and the first power unit 23 is used to drive the water delivery cylinder and the first telescopic rod 221 to rotate together. The cylinder 212 is also provided with a connecting pipe, which consists of an adjusting pipe 214 and a conveying hose 215. The regulating pipe 214 is vertically slidably inserted into the cylinder 212, and its extended end is connected to the telescopic end of the first telescopic rod 221 and communicates with the conveying hose 215. The fixed end of the second telescopic rod 223 is equipped with a spray unit 216 that communicates with the outlet of the delivery hose 215, which is used to spray the cleaning medium onto the cleaning area of the scraper 24.
[0027] With this design, when spraying is required, the external water supply pipe delivers the cleaning medium to the cylinder 212 and sprays it from the spraying unit 216 to the cleaning end of the scraper 24 through the connecting pipe. When it is necessary to drive the scraper 24 to rotate, the first power unit 23 drives the cylinder 212 to rotate through the meshing of the gear 3 and the gear ring 213, thereby causing the cylinder 212 to drive the first telescopic rod 221 to rotate together. At this time, the water inlet is always connected to the inner cavity of the cylinder 212 to ensure normal water supply from the water pipe. When the second telescopic rod 223 rotates, the delivery hose 215 has sufficient length to connect with the spray unit 216, ensuring that the cleaning medium can be smoothly sprayed out from the spray unit 216. When the first telescopic rod 221 is extending or retracting, the adjusting tube 214 extends or retracts synchronously with the first telescopic rod 221 to avoid interfering with the operation of the first telescopic rod 221.
[0028] In one embodiment, the constraint assembly 12 includes two constraint plates 121 disposed opposite to and slidably connected to the constraint frame 11. Each constraint plate 121 is separably in contact with the tank inlet and applies a clamping force toward the tank axis to the constraint frame 11. The constraint plate 121 is also equipped with a lead screw 122, which has two threaded sections with opposite directions of rotation. Each constraint frame 11 is screwed onto the corresponding threaded section. When the lead screw 122 rotates, it is used to drive the two constraint frames 11 to move closer to or further away from the tank inlet.
[0029] With this design, when the constraint frame 11 is placed at the inlet of the storage tank, the operator rotates the screw 122 to bring the two constraint plates 121 closer to each other until each constraint plate 121 contacts the inlet of the storage tank and applies a clamping force towards the axis of the tank body to improve the stability of the constraint frame 11, while promoting the first telescopic rod 221 to be coaxially set with the tank body. When it is necessary to remove the constraint frame 11 from the storage tank, reverse the lead screw 122 to separate each constraint plate 121 from the tank body.
[0030] In one embodiment, each constraint plate 121 is slidably provided with two oppositely distributed clamping plates 123, and the two clamping plates 123 cooperate to clamp the inlet pipe wall of the storage tank. The constraint frame 11 is also rotatably provided with a screw 124, which has two threaded sections with opposite directions of rotation. Each clamping plate 123 is threadedly connected to the corresponding threaded section. The screw 124 rotates to drive the two clamping plates 123 to move closer or further apart.
[0031] With this design, after each constraint plate 121 clamps the inlet of the storage tank, the operator rotates the screw 124 to bring the two clamping plates 123 closer to each other until each clamping plate 123 cooperates to clamp the corresponding end of the inlet pipe wall of the storage tank, thereby applying vertical constraint to the constraint frame 11 and further improving the stability of the constraint frame 11.
[0032] In one embodiment, a limiting groove is provided on the fixed end of the second telescopic rod 223, and a first magnetic attraction unit 4 is provided inside it. The first magnetic attraction unit 4 is signal connected to an external control unit (not shown in the figure). The connecting seat 222 is provided with a limiting component 5, including a plug rod 51 that is slidably disposed in the connecting seat 222. When the second telescopic rod 223 and the first telescopic rod 221 are perpendicular to each other, the limiting groove corresponds to the plug rod 51. The insertion rod 51 is provided with a second magnetic attraction unit 52 that attracts the first magnetic attraction unit 4. When the magnetic attraction units attract each other, the insertion rod 51 is inserted into the limiting groove to constrain the rotation of the second telescopic rod 223. An elastic unit 53 is also provided between the connector 222 and the insertion rod 51, which is used to apply an elastic force to the insertion rod 51 in a direction away from the first magnetic attraction unit 4.
[0033] With this design, when the second telescopic rod 223 rotates to a position perpendicular to the first telescopic rod 221, the limiting groove corresponds to the insertion rod 51. At this time, the operator energizes the first magnetic unit 4 through the control unit so that it attracts the second magnetic unit 52. The insertion rod 51 moves and is inserted into the limiting groove to constrain the rotation of the second telescopic rod 223. At the same time, the elastic unit 53 is compressed, so that the second power unit 224 does not need to be energized for a long time to maintain the rotational posture of the second telescopic rod 223. When the second telescopic rod 223 needs to be rotated again, the staff will de-energize the first magnetic unit 4 through the control unit. At this time, the magnetic units will no longer attract each other, the elastic unit 53 will lose its constraint and drive the insertion rod 51 out of the limit groove.
[0034] Preferably, the first magnetic attraction unit 4 can be an electromagnet as used in the prior art.
[0035] Preferably, the elastic element 53 can be a spring from the prior art.
[0036] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.
[0037] Furthermore, if the embodiments of this utility model involve descriptions such as "first" or "second," these descriptions are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.
