Description

Tilting bracket for brush {TILTING BRACKET FOR BRUSH}

The present invention relates to a tilting bracket for a brush, and more specifically, to a tilting bracket for a brush that automatically adjusts the inclination of the brush according to its movement in response to the curvature of the bottom of the brush.

In general, if fouling organisms on the bottom of a ship are not removed, problems such as a decrease in maximum speed of the ship by up to 40% or an increase in fuel consumption may occur.

As a related prior art, there was a method of cleaning the bottom of a ship using cleaning equipment by installing a brush device to perform the cleaning work.

Conventionally, a method of performing cleaning work through pressure by pressurizing a brush using only an up-down module has been adopted.

In other words, since the structure only allows the brush to move up and down, there was a disadvantage that the tilt could not be adjusted.

As a result, there is no problem in the flat state, but the brush and the surface of the bottom of the curved area are not in close contact, so there has been a problem in that smooth cleaning is not possible due to parts that are not properly cleaned or are in excessive contact.

Accordingly, there was a need to develop tilting technology that allows the brush to respond to the curvature of the bottom of the ship and automatically adjust the inclination of the brush according to its movement.

The shapes of the body 110, shaft member 120, and base member 130 described above are not limited to the drawings, and may be provided in various forms in the technical field to which the present invention pertains.

As an example, the body 110 has a hollow square pillar shape, a hole corresponding to the outside of the body 110 is formed in the base member 130, and the lower end of the body 110 is inserted into the hole of the base member 130. It can be prepared as much as possible.

At this time, a first axis 121 may be provided along the first direction on a pair of sides facing each other in the first direction in the internal space 111 of the body 110, and a pair of sides facing each other in the first direction may be provided. A second axis 131 may be provided along the first direction outside the side of .

That is, the body 110 and the base member 130 are rotated around the axis member 120, and at the same time, the base member 130 is tilted due to tilt changes of the first axis 121 and the second axis 131. The lower surface of has a slope corresponding to the curvature of the object surface.

It supports the other end of the shaft member and performs the function of limiting the range of inclination variation of the shaft member.

Figure 6 is a diagram showing an upper plate and an anti-slip member according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Figures 4 and 6, the upper plate 115 protrudes in a vertical direction from the upper outer surface of the body 110, and the anti-slip member 150 extends from the lower surface of the upper plate 115 to the base member. It may be formed to protrude toward (130) and be flexible in the vertical direction.

Accordingly, there is an effect of preventing the base member 130 from being excessively pushed upward by external force.

As the tilting bracket for a brush of the present invention further includes a support member 140 and an anti-slip member 150, the tilt variation range of the shaft member 120 and the base member 130 with respect to the body 110 can be limited.

Accordingly, excessive and stable tilt adjustment of the shaft member 120 and the base member 130 is possible, thereby preventing damage due to excessive tilting operation between the body 110, the shaft member 120, and the base member 130 of the present invention. and has the effect of preventing defects from occurring.

In addition, it prevents the base member 130 from being pushed excessively upward and provides a repulsive force, which has the advantage of allowing the brush member coupled to the base member 130 to correspond to the inclination of the surface of the object and at the same time adhere more closely to the surface. have

In addition, the tilting bracket for a brush of the present invention may further include a cap member provided at the lower part of the body.

Figure 7 is a diagram showing a cap member according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIGS. 4, 5, and 7, the cap member 160 is provided at the lower part of the body 110 in contact with the brush member to cover the lower portion of the slit 113 formed on the outer surface of the body 110. It can be.

This has the effect of preventing the second shaft 131 and the base member 130 from being separated from the lower end of the body 110 by allowing the roller member 133 to move only within the slit 113.

Additionally, as the cap member 160 is made of an elastic material, it may be provided to have a function of alleviating the impact that occurs between the body 110 and the brush member.

Accordingly, there is an advantage in preventing the body 110 from being damaged by directly colliding with the brush member.

Accordingly, there is an advantage in preventing the body 110 and the brush member from directly colliding and being damaged during rotation or movement by the operation of a motor or various modules coupled to the shaft member 120.

By using the tilting bracket for a brush according to an embodiment of the present invention described above, it is possible to adjust the tilt of the brush member as follows.

Figure 8 is a diagram showing a method of combining a brush member and a tilting bracket for a brush of the present invention, and Figure 9 is a diagram showing an example of adjusting the inclination of a brush member using the tilting bracket for a brush of the present invention.

7 to 9, the rotation motor 30 may be coupled to the upper part of the shaft member 120 of the present invention, and the brush member 50 may be coupled to the lower part of the base member 130.

A plurality of fastening holes may be formed in the brush member 50, and at least one through hole 135 corresponding to the fastening hole may be formed in the base member 130.

At this time, the tilting bracket 100 for a brush of the present invention penetrates the through hole 135 and is inserted into the fastening hole of the brush member 50, thereby coupling the brush member 50 to the base member 130. It may further include means 70.

For example, a screw thread may be formed on the inner peripheral surface of the fastening hole of the brush member 50, and the coupling means 70 may be provided in the form of a bolt so that a screw thread corresponding to the inner peripheral surface of the fastening hole may be formed on the outer peripheral surface.

Using this coupling means 70 has the advantage of being able to easily attach and detach the brush member 50 from the tilting bracket 100 for a brush of the present invention.

The tilting bracket 100 for a brush of the present invention is not only applied to the brush member 50, but may also be used in combination with various members.

The brush member 50 coupled in this way can be tilted as follows through the tilting bracket 100 for a brush of the present invention.

When a curvature is formed on the surface of the object as shown in FIG. 9, the base member 130 can be flexibly tilted in all directions based on the axis member 120 by the first axis and the second axis, so the base member ( 130), the slope can vary in multiple directions and angles depending on the curvature of the object's surface.

That is, the curvature of the object surface is measured and the tilt corresponding to the curvature of the object surface is naturally adjusted without the need for the user to manually control the tilt of the base member 130 or to provide a separate tilt control device. There is an advantage.

As discussed so far, using the tilting bracket for a brush according to an embodiment of the present invention can provide the following advantages.

As a prior art method of cleaning the bottom of a ship using cleaning equipment, there is a method of performing cleaning work through pressure by pressurizing a brush using an up-down module.

However, this method had the disadvantage of not being able to adjust the inclination of the brush since it only allows the brush to move up and down.

Because of this, there is no problem with the surface of the object being flat, but in the area where the curvature is formed, the brush and the surface of the bottom do not adhere closely, making smooth cleaning impossible as areas are not properly cleaned or excessive contact occurs. come.
