Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline cleaning equipment technology, and in particular to a device for pipeline cleaning. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, vacuum trucks are widely used in pipeline dredging and drainage. They utilize a vacuum negative pressure system to suck sludge, sewage, and waste from the pipeline into a tank, which is then transported to a designated treatment point. When traditional vacuum trucks disassemble pipelines after suction or discharge, the pipe joints come into contact with sewage and sludge during operation. Even after closing the valves, a small amount of sewage remains on the inner wall of the joint and in the gaps of the sealing gaskets. This residue is more noticeable after suctioning sludge with high water content or discharging liquid waste, causing residual sewage at the joints to drip due to gravity. In densely populated or hygiene-sensitive areas (such as residential areas, schools, and hospital perimeters), dripping residual sewage from pipe joints can contaminate the ground and produce odors, causing psychological discomfort and hygiene concerns among nearby residents and affecting the cleanliness of public areas. In dry environments, dripping sewage can mix with dust to form mud stains, further increasing the cleaning burden. Utility Model Content

[0025] Example

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model proposes a device for pipe cleaning, including a suction truck 1. One end of the suction truck 1 is equipped with a mounting frame 15, which is fixed to one end of the suction truck 1. A receiving bin 2 is fixed to the end of the suction truck 1, providing mounting support for the receiving bin 2. The end of the suction truck 1 near the mounting frame 15 is equipped with a suction port 11 and a discharge port 12. The suction port 11 is connected to a suction pipe 13, providing a suction channel for the suction pipe 13, allowing dirt in the pipe to enter the suction truck 1 through the suction pipe 13. The discharge port 12 is connected to a discharge pipe 14, providing a discharge channel for the discharge pipe 14, allowing dirt in the suction truck 1 to be discharged through the discharge pipe 14. The suction port 11 is connected to the suction pipe 13, with one end of the suction pipe 13 connected to the suction port 11 and the other end extending into the pipe to be cleaned, sucking dirt from the pipe into the suction truck 1, and can be positioned by engaging an arc-shaped positioning groove 23. The discharge port 12 is connected to the discharge pipe 14. One end of the discharge pipe 14 is connected to the discharge port 12, and the other end leads to the waste disposal point, discharging the waste in the vacuum truck 1 to the designated location. It can also be positioned by locking into the arc-shaped positioning groove 23. The suction pipe 13 and the discharge pipe 14 are prepared according to the required lengths. A receiving bin 2 is fixedly installed on the end of the mounting frame 15. The receiving bin 2 is fixed to the end of the mounting frame 15. The top of the receiving bin 13 and the discharge pipe 14 are positioned by the arc-shaped positioning groove 23 to receive the wastewater dripping after the pipes are disassembled. The bottom is connected to the storage bin 3 by the mounting groove 22. The bottom of the receiving bin 2 is equipped with a storage bin 3. The storage bin 3 is connected to the receiving bin 2 by an L-shaped insert 32 to receive the wastewater flowing in through the discharge pipe 21, realizing wastewater collection. The top of the receiving bin 2 is provided with a pair of arc-shaped positioning grooves 23 corresponding to the suction pipe 13 and the discharge pipe 14. The arc-shaped positioning grooves 23 are provided on the top of the receiving bin 2 to accommodate the suction pipe 13 and the discharge pipe 14, and to position the suction pipe 13 and the discharge pipe 14.

[0027] Among them, such as Figures 4 to 5As shown, the bottom outer wall of the receiving bin 2 is equipped with a locking mechanism that holds the top of the storage bin 3 in place. The locking mechanism includes a support plate 4 fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the receiving bin 2. A mounting groove 22 is opened at the bottom of the receiving bin 2. A pair of L-shaped inserts 32 are fixedly connected to the top of the storage bin 3 and inserted into the mounting groove 22. The L-shaped inserts 32 are fixed to the top of the storage bin 3 and inserted into the mounting groove 22 of the receiving bin 2, thus securing the storage bin 3 to the receiving bin 2 in conjunction with the locking mechanism. The outer wall of each L-shaped insert 32 is provided with a handle groove 31 for inserting a hand. The handle groove 31 is opened on the outer wall of the L-shaped insert 32 for inserting a hand to easily pull the L-shaped insert 32 to remove the storage bin 3.

[0028] Secondly, such as Figures 4 to 5 As shown, telescopic grooves 41 are provided at both ends of the support plate 4. A first spring 42 is fixedly connected inside each telescopic groove 41. One end of the first spring 42 is fixed inside the telescopic groove 41, and the other end is connected to a sliding rod 43, providing elastic thrust to the sliding rod 43 so that the inclined clamp 44 can clamp the L-shaped insert 32. Each telescopic groove 41 is equipped with a sliding rod 43 that clamps the L-shaped insert 32. The sliding rod 43 is located inside the telescopic groove 41, with one end connected to the first spring 42 and the other end equipped with an inclined clamp 44. Under the action of the first spring 42, the inclined clamp 44 is driven to clamp the L-shaped insert 32. The sliding rod 43 is fixedly connected to the corresponding end of the first spring 42. A discharge pipe 21 is also fixedly connected to the bottom of the receiving bin 2, which guides the wastewater collected in the receiving bin 2 into the storage tank 3. A pair of handle grooves 31, L-shaped inserts 32, mounting grooves 22, sliding rods 43, and inclined clamps 44 are all symmetrically arranged around the support plate 4.

[0029] In addition, such as Figure 4 As shown, the end of the slide bar 43 away from the telescopic groove 41 is provided with an inclined locking head 44 that automatically retracts into the telescopic groove 41 after being pressed against by the L-shaped insert 32. The inclined locking head 44 is located at the end of the slide bar 43 away from the telescopic groove 41. When it is pressed against by the L-shaped insert 32, it retracts into the telescopic groove 41. After the L-shaped insert 32 is in place, it pops out and locks the L-shaped insert 32, thereby locking the storage bucket 3.

[0030] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the top outer wall of the receiving hopper 2 is equipped with a vibration mechanism for discharging materials from the suction pipe 13 and the discharge pipe 14. The vibration mechanism includes a support frame 5 fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the receiving hopper 2. A spring plate 51 is slidably connected to the support frame 5. Arc-shaped support blocks 52, which are inserted into arc-shaped positioning grooves 23 and correspond to the suction pipe 13 and the discharge pipe 14, are fixedly connected to both ends of the spring plate 51. The arc-shaped support blocks 52 are fixed to both ends of the spring plate 51, inserted into the arc-shaped positioning grooves 23, and correspondingly contact the suction pipe 13 and the discharge pipe 14, transmitting vibration to the suction pipe 13 and the discharge pipe 14 to reduce residue. A pair of second springs 53 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the spring plate 51. One end of the second spring 53 is connected to the upper surface of the spring plate 51, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the support frame 5, providing elastic support for the spring plate 51 and cooperating with the vibration of the spring plate 51. The end of the second spring 53 furthest from the spring plate 51 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support frame 5. A vibration motor 54 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the spring plate 51. The vibration motor 54 is fixed to the lower surface of the spring plate 51 and generates vibration, which is transmitted through the spring plate 51 and the arc-shaped support block 52 to the suction pipe 13 and the discharge pipe 14, causing residual dirt in the pipe to be discharged. A pair of arc-shaped support blocks 52 and arc-shaped positioning grooves 23 are symmetrically arranged with the support frame 5 as the center. The vibration motor 54 is an electric motor that generates vibration by electromagnetic or mechanical means.

[0031] In this embodiment, when using the pipe cleaning device, the vacuum truck 1 fixes the receiving bin 2 through the mounting bracket 15, the L-shaped plug 32 of the storage tank 3 is inserted into the mounting groove 22 of the receiving bin 2, and the inclined clamp 44 of the support plate 4 is squeezed by the L-shaped plug 32 and retracts into the telescopic groove 41. When the L-shaped plug 32 is in place, the first spring 42 pushes the slide rod 43 to make the inclined clamp 44 lock the L-shaped plug 32, thus completing the locking of the storage tank 3 and the receiving bin 2.

[0032] When the suction pipe 13 on the suction port 11 and the discharge pipe 14 on the discharge port 12 are in operation, the suction pipe 13 connects to the suction port 11 and is engaged in the arc-shaped positioning groove 23 of the receiving hopper 2. The vibration motor 54 drives the spring plate 51 to vibrate, and the arc-shaped support block 52 vibrates the suction pipe 13 synchronously, thereby reducing residue inside the pipe. During discharge, the discharge pipe 14 connects to the discharge port 12, and similarly, the vibration mechanism reduces residue. After the pipes are disassembled, residual wastewater drips into the receiving hopper 2 and flows into the storage tank 3 through the discharge pipe 21 for collection, avoiding contamination.

[0033] When the storage bucket 3 needs to be removed, manually insert a pair of handle slots 31 and press the inclined locking head 44 at the end of the slide bar 43 into the telescopic groove 41. This will pull the L-shaped insert 32 to remove the storage bucket 3 from the bottom of the receiving bin 2, and then dump the wastewater stored in the storage bucket 3.

[0034] The preferred embodiments of this utility model described above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to any specific implementation. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of this utility model, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize it. This utility model is limited only by the claims and their full scope and equivalents.
