[0027] Various exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement, numerical expressions, and values ​​of the components and steps set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the invention.

[0028] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative and is in no way intended to limit the invention or its application or use.

[0029] Techniques, methods, and equipment known to those skilled in the art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such techniques, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0030] In all the examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0031] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be discussed further in subsequent figures.

[0032] according to Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a cleaning device for deposits inside tobacco processing pipes, including a frame 1, a tube reel 2, and a power mechanism.

[0033] The hose reel 2 is mounted on the frame 1, and a cleaning water pipe 3 is wound around the hose reel 2. One end of the cleaning water pipe 3 is equipped with a nozzle assembly 4, and the other end is connected to the water tank.

[0034] The power mechanism includes a tube reel motor 6 and a water pump 5. The water pump 5 is connected between the water tank and the cleaning water pipe 3 to transfer water from the water tank to the nozzle assembly 4. The tube reel motor 6 is connected to the shaft of the tube reel 2 to drive the tube reel 2 to rotate, thereby extending the cleaning water pipe 3 into the inside of the filament-making pipe.

[0035] In this embodiment, the hose reel motor 6 drives the hose reel 2 to rotate, thereby enabling the unfolding and retraction of the cleaning hose 3. For the accumulated scale inside the fiber-making pipe, the extension of the cleaning hose 3 extends into the pipe's interior. Utilizing the jetting effect of high-pressure water, when the water's impact force exceeds the adhesion between the deposits and the pipe's inner wall, the high-pressure water washes away the deposits, achieving a cleaning effect. The deposits flow with the water through a pre-installed drain pipe to a water tank equipped with a filter screen. The water flows out through the drain outlet, leaving the deposits in the water tank.

[0036] Furthermore, the bottom of the frame 1 is also equipped with wheels 7 to facilitate the movement of the cleaning device, thereby avoiding the tedious disassembly and transportation of the silk-making pipe.

[0037] Furthermore, the frame 1 has a guide hole at the front end of the hose reel 2, through which the cleaning hose 3 passes to restrict its extension direction. During implementation, the guide hole also ensures tension adjustment between the cleaning hose 3 and the hose reel 2, preventing the cleaning hose 3 from becoming loosely wound when the hose reel 2 retracts it.

[0038] Furthermore, the frame 1, located at the front end of the tube reel 2, is equipped with a linear guide rail 8. The linear guide rail 8 has left-right movable guides 9, with guide holes formed on the guides 9. During implementation, the guides 9, located at the upper and lower ends of the cleaning water pipe 3, consist of two rollers, resulting in rolling friction between the guides 9 and the cleaning water pipe 3, reducing wear on the cleaning water pipe 3. The linear guide rail 8 is used to change the left-right position of the guides 9 so that the cleaning water pipe 3 can be aligned directly with the opening of the yarn-making pipe.

[0039] Furthermore, the hose reel 2 is equipped with a manual rotating handle at one end of its shaft. When the hose reel motor 6 is damaged, the cleaning hose 3 can be extended or retracted manually.

[0040] Then according to Figure 2 As shown, the nozzle assembly 4 includes a nozzle body 41 and a connector 42. One end of the connector 42 is sealed to the nozzle body 41 by multiple O-rings 44, and the other end is threaded to the cleaning water pipe 3. The nozzle body 41 has multiple circumferentially scattering nozzle holes 47 for blowing and cleaning the inner wall of the silk-making pipe. This invention uses double-layer O-rings 44 to ensure a seal between the connector 42 and the nozzle body 41, preventing water from flowing out from the contact surface between the connector 42 and the nozzle body.

[0041] Furthermore, a steel ball 45 is provided between the nozzle body 41 and the connector 42, and a threaded nut 43 is provided on the outer side of the connector 42. A limiting ring 46 that contracts inwards is provided on the side of the nut 43 near the nozzle body 41. The inner diameter of the limiting ring 46 fits against the connecting end of the nozzle body 41 to limit the position of the steel ball 45. The steel ball 45 moves within the annular groove formed by the nut 43 and the connector 42, reducing friction during rotation and providing axial positioning for the nozzle body 41.

[0042] Furthermore, the axis of the nozzle 47 is inclined to the axis of the nozzle body 41 and is not coplanar, with the inclination direction of the nozzle 47 pointing towards the connector 42. In implementation, there is a certain angle between the nozzle 47 and the nozzle body 41, allowing the reaction force generated when the nozzle 47 laterally ejects high-pressure water to be decomposed into axial and tangential components. The tangential force acting on the nozzle body 41 causes it to rotate, while the axial force towards the connector 42 drives the nozzle forward.

[0043] Furthermore, the nozzles 47 are arranged in a ring array within the nozzle body 41, centered on the axis of the nozzle body 41. This ensures that the water flow is evenly dispersed from the interior of the nozzle body 41, guaranteeing comprehensive high-pressure spray cleaning of the inside of the yarn-making pipe.

[0044] Furthermore, a sealing gasket 48 is provided at the connection between the connector 42 and the cleaning water pipe 3 to improve the sealing between the connector 42 and the cleaning water pipe 3 and prevent water from overflowing from the contact surface between the two.

[0045] While specific embodiments of the invention have been described in detail by way of examples, those skilled in the art should understand that the examples are for illustrative purposes only and not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can be made to the above embodiments without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. The scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims.
