Material removal from surfaces
10710122 · 2020-07-14 ·

Scrapers for removing adhered material from surfaces employ continuous and discontinuous material removal edges to remove different types of material. Continuous and sometimes discontinuous material removal edges are constructed and arranged to conform to the curvature of a surface from which material is to be removed, when a user forces the scraper against the surface. Some scrapers include multiple material removal edges designed to simultaneously contact the surface. The use of multiple points of contact combined with locations of handles provide stable designs that reduce hand and wrist strain.

The belt conveyors are to be inserted into a respective one of the recesses. The film transporter has cleaners for the belt conveyors.

VISCOUS MATERIAL WIPING DEVICE

A viscous material wiping device wipes the viscous material attached to the tip of a spatula with a sheet. A sheet support jig has a groove recessed in the sheet facing surface, the groove includes a receiving portion and a wiping portion that are continuous in the groove extending direction, and the wiping portion has a groove width smaller than that of the receiving portion and substantially equal to the outer dimension of the tip of the spatula. A controller drives the moving mechanism to position the spatula on the opposite side of the sheet supporting jig with respect to the sheet in a posture that the spatula extends parallel to the groove extending direction and overlaps the groove when viewed in a normal direction of the sheet facing surface, and move the spatula in the normal direction so that the tip of the spatula is received in the receiving portion by pressing the sheet against the groove with the spatula. The spatula is configured to move in the groove extending direction so that the tip of the spatula passes through the wiping portion.

Air jet type pipeline decontamination machine
20200208393 · 2020-07-02 ·

The invention relates to the field of jet propulsion application, in particular to a jet propulsion pipeline decontamination machine, which includes a fuselage and a fixing frame provided on the left side of the fuselage. In the gear lever fixedly connected to the fuselage, four guide grooves opening outward are symmetrically distributed in the center of the end wall of the fixed frame, and left and right symmetrical moving blocks are slidably arranged in the guide groove. The moving block is provided with left and right threaded holes with reverse threads passing through the left and right, and the threaded holes are internally connected with threaded rods. The jet propelled pipeline decontamination machine provided by the present invention can realize the sludge in the pipeline. For cleaning, the equipment uses jet propelling equipment to drive the scraper to the depth of the pipeline. When it moves to the maximum limit, it drives the scraper to abut against the pipe wall, and then pulls the scraper to the outside of the pipe through the wire drawing device, thereby contaminating the inner wall of the pipe Mud scraping, the device of the invention is completely scraped, and the scraping force is large, which is more efficient.
