[0025] An internal cleaning device for pipelines in thermal power plants, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, it includes an equipment housing 10 and a protective box 11 disposed on one side of the equipment housing 10.
[0026] The equipment housing 10 is equipped with a drive assembly, which includes a transmission rod 12 that is rotatably connected to the inside of the equipment housing 10, a drive impeller 13 that is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission rod 12, and a water pump that is installed at one end of the equipment housing 10. The drive assembly is existing technology and will not be described in detail.
[0027] The front end of the equipment housing 10 is rotatably sealed with a hollow rotating shaft 14, which is fixedly connected to the front end of the transmission rod 12. A cleaning mechanism is provided at the front end of the hollow rotating shaft 14. This mechanism includes four sets of connecting telescopic pipes 15 evenly connected to the outer wall of the end of the hollow rotating shaft 14 located outside the inner cavity of the equipment housing 10, and multiple cleaning brushes 16 fixedly connected to the ends of the four sets of connecting telescopic pipes 15 away from the hollow rotating shaft 14. Each cleaning brush 16 has a drainage hole 17 that communicates with the inside of the four sets of connecting telescopic pipes 15. A water inlet 18 is provided on the side wall of the end of the hollow rotating shaft 14 located inside the inner cavity of the equipment housing 10. A filter screen 19 is fixedly installed inside the water inlet 18. The four sets of connecting telescopic pipes 15 are arranged in a ring with equal spacing. The state distribution is such that each set of connecting telescopic tubes 15 contains multiple tubes that are evenly spaced. An adjustment mounting plate 20 is fixedly installed at the front end of the hollow rotating shaft 14. A cross-shaped adjustment groove 21 is opened on the rear wall of the adjustment mounting plate 20. An adjustment mechanism is provided on the adjustment mounting plate 20 to drive the four sets of connecting telescopic tubes 15 to extend and retract. The adjustment mechanism includes a bidirectional threaded rod 22 that is rotatably connected to the middle of the inner side of the cross-shaped adjustment groove 21 and two adjustment threaded rods 23 that are symmetrically rotatably connected to the left and right ends of the cross-shaped adjustment groove 21. The outer walls of the upper and lower ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 22 and the outer walls of the two adjustment threaded rods 23 are threadedly connected to four connecting brackets 25 that are fixedly connected to the ends of the four sets of connecting telescopic tubes 15 away from the hollow rotating shaft 14.
[0028] The upper and lower ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 22 are respectively provided with threads in opposite directions on their outer walls. The outer walls of the two adjusting threaded rods 23 are also provided with threads in opposite directions. The upper and lower ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 22 and the outer walls of the two adjusting threaded rods 23 are threadedly connected to four adjusting nut blocks 24 that are slidably connected inside the cross adjusting groove 21. Four connecting brackets 25 are distributed in a ring with equal spacing and correspond to the positions of the four adjusting nut blocks 24. The front ends of the four connecting brackets 25 are fixedly connected to the rear ends of the four adjusting nut blocks 24. A driving bevel gear 26 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bidirectional threaded rod 22. Two driven bevel gears 27 that mesh with the driving bevel gear 26 are fixedly connected to the ends of the two adjusting threaded rods 23 that are close to each other. The top end of the bidirectional threaded rod 22 extends through the top inner wall of the cross adjusting groove 21 to the outside and is fixedly installed with an adjusting handwheel 28.
[0029] The working principle of this invention patent is as follows: During use, the water pump on the drive assembly introduces the cleaning agent into the equipment housing 10, impacting the drive impeller 13. This forces the drive impeller 13 to drive the hollow shaft 14 to rotate via the transmission rod 12. The hollow shaft 14, through four sets of connecting telescopic pipes 15, drives the cleaning brushes 16 on it to rotate for cleaning. Simultaneously, the cleaning agent can also enter the hollow shaft 14 through the water inlet 18, and then be discharged through the four sets of connecting telescopic pipes 15 and the drainage holes 17 on the multiple cleaning brushes 16 for rinsing. The combination of these two operations enables the equipment to clean the inside of the pipes. The rotatable adjustment handwheel 28 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 22 and its driving bevel gear 26 to rotate, forcing the two driven bevel gears 27 meshing with the driving bevel gear 26 to drive the two adjustment threaded rods 23 to rotate synchronously, forcing the bidirectional threaded rods 23 to rotate. The four adjusting nut blocks 24, connected to the two ends of the 22 and the two adjusting threaded rods 23, move closer or further apart along the inside of the cross-shaped adjusting groove 21. The four adjusting nut blocks 24 drive the four sets of connecting telescopic tubes 15 to extend and retract synchronously to a suitable length through the four connecting brackets 25, so that the cleaning brushes 16 on the four sets of connecting telescopic tubes 15 can contact the inner wall of the pipe, so as to adapt to the cleaning operation of pipes of different sizes. The above operation is simple and practical, and the structure is reasonable and compact, realizing convenient adjustment of the equipment to adapt to the cleaning operation of pipes of different sizes, improving the convenience of use of the equipment. By setting the filter screen 19, the cleaning agent passing through the inlet 18 can be filtered to prevent impurities inside the cleaning agent from entering the hollow rotating shaft 14 and clogging the hollow rotating shaft 14, connecting telescopic tubes 15 and drain hole 17, thus improving the practicality of the equipment.
[0030] The present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or direct application to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
