Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of sewage pipeline maintenance, and in particular to a device for identifying and cleaning leaks at the bottom of sewage pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of urban modernization, the application of pipelines is becoming increasingly widespread. Some sewage pipelines need to be installed at the bottom of lakes. Once a sewage pipeline leaks, it will cause pollution to the lake water, requiring timely repair. Current repair techniques mainly include high-pressure grouting with sealing materials, inner lining sleeves, epoxy resin with fiberglass cloth, spiral winding, ultraviolet curing, centrifugal spraying, and caulking. However, there is currently no technical solution that can completely replace manual pipeline work, adapt to silt and flowing water environments, and is suitable for grouting and sealing repair of large-diameter concrete pipelines. Chinese invention patents disclose a remote-controlled trolley (2023103193575) for repairing reinforced concrete pipes. This trolley is driven and guided; visual monitoring equipment analyzes the internal condition of the pipe to locate cracks and damage; the filling and repair section is rotated to a suitable angle, and the telescopic application device's extension length, circumferential position, and pitch angle are adjustable to contact the crack. Simultaneously, a storage tube uses a piston to squeeze out the internal filling putty, thus completing the crack filling work. An intelligent pipe repair robot (2019206177272) first listens to determine the damage point. Once the robot reaches the approximate repair area, it captures images and transmits them to the ground for observation of the specific damage location. Adjusting its height according to the pipe diameter, the airbag inflates to expand the support structure, thus opening the inner flexible tube coated with UV-cured adhesive and adhering it to the inner wall of the pipe. UV light then cures the adhesive for bonding. However, these methods suffer from the inability to accurately identify leaks at the bottom of the pipe in flowing water and silt environments, and the inability to repair leaks affected by bottom silt. Therefore, a novel inspection device is urgently needed to better repair leaks at the bottom of sewage pipes. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the problems existing in the above-mentioned sewage pipe bottom leakage detection and cleaning and maintenance devices, the present invention is proposed.

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a sewage pipe bottom leakage identification and cleaning and maintenance device, which aims to solve the problems of existing technologies that cannot accurately identify leakage points, are affected by the internal environment of the pipe when moving in the pipe, and cannot completely replace workers entering the pipe for operation.

[0019] By employing measures such as airbag sealing, water pumping, and high-pressure water jet flushing, the repair process was greatly prevented from being disrupted by sludge and organic matter inside the pipe. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Reference Figure 1 The first embodiment of the present invention provides a sewage pipe bottom leakage identification and cleaning and repair device. This device includes a water pipe 100, which is used for the flow of sewage in the sewage pipe when repairing the leakage point.

[0036] The forward movement component 200 includes a fixed ring 201 disposed on the water pipe 100, an active component 202 disposed on the fixed ring 201, and a driven component 203 disposed on the fixed ring 201. The fixed ring 201 is used to install the active component 202 and the driven component 203. The active component 202 and the driven component 203 are used for the device to move in the sewage pipe. There are two sets of forward movement components 200, which are located at the beginning and end of the water pipe 100 respectively. Each set of forward movement components 200 has two sets of driven components 203. The active component 202 and the two sets of driven components 203 on each set of fixed ring 201 are evenly distributed on the fixed ring 201 to increase the stability of the device movement.

[0037] The repair component 300 includes a device body 301 installed on the water pipe 100, a sonar detector 302 installed on the device body 301 for detecting leaks in the sewage pipe, an isolation component 303 installed on the water pipe 100 for isolating the space at the leak point, and a repair component 304 installed on the water pipe 100 for repairing leaks in the sewage pipe.

[0038] The active component 202 includes a support rod 202a disposed on a fixed ring 201, which is used to connect the water pipe 100 and provide support for the water pipe 100; a first connecting rod 202b disposed at the end of the support rod 202a away from the fixed ring 201; and an active wheel 202c rotatably disposed at the end of the first connecting rod 202b away from the support rod 202a. The first connecting rod 202b is used to mount the active wheel 202c, which is used to roll on the wall of the sewage pipe. The active wheel 202c is electrically connected to a power source.

[0039] Furthermore, the driven component 203 includes a first electric telescopic rod 203a disposed on the fixed ring 201, a second connecting rod 203b disposed at the end of the first electric telescopic rod 203a away from the fixed ring 201, and a driven wheel 203c disposed at the end of the second connecting rod 203b away from the first electric telescopic rod 203a. The second connecting rod 203b is used to connect the first electric telescopic rod 203a and the driven wheel 203c. The first electric telescopic rod 203a is used to form a stable triangular support with the support rod 202a. Moreover, the first electric telescopic rod 203a can be adapted to different pipe diameters by telescopic movement, thus expanding the application range.

[0040] During use, when the target sewage pipe needs to be inspected and repaired, the device is placed into the sewage pipe. At this time, the electric telescopic rod 1 is activated, so that the driven wheels 203c at both ends are pressed against the pipe wall and the driving wheel 202c is pressed against the pipe wall. The driving wheel 202c is activated, and the device moves inside the sewage pipe. The sonar detector 302 begins to detect. At this time, the detection results of the sonar detector 302 are transmitted to an external computer to generate a three-dimensional model of the inside of the pipe. Technicians determine the leak point based on the model.

[0041] Example 2

[0042] Reference Figure 1 This is the second embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the first embodiment in that the leakage point is sealed and cleaned.

[0043] Compared to Embodiment 1, the further isolation component 303 includes a first airbag 303a disposed at both ends of the water pipe 100 for sealing the space at the leakage point in the sewage pipe; a second airbag 303b disposed on one side of the two sets of first airbags 303a on the water pipe 100 for sealing the space at the leakage point in the sewage pipe to further enhance the sealing performance; a fixing bracket 303c disposed on the device body 301; and a cleaning component 303d disposed on the fixing bracket 303c. The fixing component is used to install the cleaning component 303d, and the cleaning component 303d is used to clean the sealing space in the sewage pipe to facilitate subsequent repair of the leakage point.

[0044] The cleaning component 303d includes an inlet pipe 303d-1 mounted on a mounting bracket 303c, which allows clean water to enter and clean the blocked section; a high-pressure nozzle 303d-2 located at the end of the inlet pipe 303d-1 near the mounting bracket 303c, which pressurizes the water in the inlet pipe 303d-1 into a high-speed water flow; and a pressure plate 303d-3 located within the high-pressure nozzle 303d-2, which receives part of the water flow pressure. The pressure plate 303d-3 is divided into... The device includes a horizontal plate and a vertical plate. The horizontal plate has a raised section on the side near the inlet pipe 303d-1 to facilitate water flow interception. The vertical plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the nozzle of the high-pressure nozzle 303d-2 via a limiting block. A tension spring 303d-4 is located at the bottom of the pressure plate 303d-3 to stabilize the movement of the pressure plate 303d-3. A water pumping hose 303d-5 is located on the main body 301 of the device and is connected to a pumping device to remove sewage from the blocked section, preventing sewage from affecting the repair work of the leak point.

[0045] During operation, once the leak point is located, the control wheel 202c moves back and forth, aligning the repair component 304 with the leak point at the same cross-section. The first airbags 303a at both ends inflate, filling the entire sewage pipe. Sewage is then diverted through the water pipe 100. At this point, the pumping equipment is activated, and the sludge and accumulated water in the blocked section are extracted via the pumping hose 303d-5. The high-pressure nozzle 303d-2 is then activated. As water is about to spray from the nozzle of the high-pressure nozzle 303d-2, a portion of the water is intercepted by the pressure plate 303d-3. The pressure plate 303d-3 experiences an upward force, pulling the tension spring 303d-4. As the pressure plate 303d-3 moves upward... The pressure plate 303d-3 gradually covers the nozzle of the high-pressure nozzle 303d-2, causing the nozzle size of the high-pressure nozzle 303d-2 to gradually decrease. Simultaneously, the pressure of the high-pressure nozzle 303d-2 gradually increases, and its range expands. The high-speed water jet from the high-pressure nozzle 303d-2 propels the leak point in a straight line, pushing the dirt away and reducing the possibility of dirt flowing back to the leak point. This continues until the pressure on the pressure plate 303d-3 equals the tension of the tension spring 303d-4. At this point, the high-speed water jet no longer pushes away from the high-speed nozzle, cleaning the pipe wall deposits within the sealing section and discharging them using a pump. Then, the second airbag 303b inflates, performing a secondary sealing of the sealing section.

[0046] The remaining structure is the same as that in Example 1.

[0047] Example 3

[0048] Reference Figure 1This is the third embodiment of the present invention, which differs from the second embodiment in that: the leak point is repaired.

[0049] Compared to Embodiment 2, the repair component 304 further includes a movable part 304a disposed on the water pipe 100, a top support 304b disposed on the movable part 304a, and a filler 304c disposed on the top support 304b. The movable part 304a is used to rotate the top support 304b so that the filler 304c fits into the leak, facilitating repair.

[0050] The movable component 304a includes a ring 304a-1 rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the water pipe 100, a second electric telescopic rod 304a-2 positioned between the ring 304a-1 and the main body 301, a rotating shaft 304a-3 mounted on the ring 304a-1, and an internal gear 304a-4 located outside the rotating shaft 304a-3 and meshing with it. The second electric telescopic rod 304a-2 is used to slide the ring 304a-1 on the water pipe 100, so that the filling component 304c is aligned with the leak point in the horizontal direction. The internal gear 304a-4 is electrically connected to a power source, and the internal gear 304a-4 adjusts the filling component 304c to be aligned with the leak point in the vertical direction by driving the rotating shaft 304a-3 to rotate.

[0051] The top support 304b includes a third electric telescopic rod 304b-1 mounted on the internal gear 304a-4, a top support pad 304b-2 mounted on the end of the third electric telescopic rod 304b-1 away from the internal gear 304a-4, and a fourth electric telescopic rod 304b-3 mounted on the internal gear 304a-4. The third electric telescopic rod 304b-1 and the fourth electric telescopic rod 304b-3 are used to extend and retract to abut against the inner wall of the sewage pipe, so that the filling part 304c is firmly fixed. The top support pad 304b-2 is used to increase the stability of the abutment between the third electric telescopic rod 304b-1 and the inner wall of the sewage pipe.

[0052] The third electric telescopic rod 304b-1 and the fourth electric telescopic rod 304b-3 are arranged opposite each other on the internal gear 304a-4, so that the reaction force of the sewage pipe wall on the third electric telescopic rod 304b-1 and the reaction force of the sewage pipe wall on the fourth electric telescopic rod 304b-3 are on the same straight line, which increases the stability of the contact and prevents the filling part 304c from shifting.

[0053] The filling component 304c includes a repair groove 304c-1 located at the end of the fourth electric telescopic rod 304b-3 away from the internal gear 304a-4, a fastening rubber gasket 304c-2 located on the repair groove 304c-1, a pressure relief hole 304c-3 located on the repair groove 304c-1, and a grouting and cleaning valve 304c-4 located on the repair groove 304c-1. The repair groove 304c-1 is used to inject grout to fix the fastening rubber gasket, the fastening rubber gasket is used to seal the leakage point, the pressure relief valve is used to discharge excess air and water, and the grouting and cleaning valve 304c-4 is divided into a grouting hole and a cleaning hole, which are used to connect the grouting equipment to inject the blade and clean water, respectively.

[0054] During use, after the second airbag 303b is activated, the second electric telescopic rod 304a-2 is activated to adjust the horizontal relative position of the repair groove 304c-1 of the filling part with the leak point. The internal gear 304a-4 is activated to drive the rotating shaft 304a-3 to adjust the vertical relative position of the repair groove 304c-1 with the leak point. When the repair groove 304c-1 and the leak point are aligned, the fourth electric telescopic rod 304b-3 is activated to make the fastening rubber gasket 304c-2 fit with the leak point. The third electric telescopic rod 304b-1 is activated to work with the top support gasket 304b-2 to press against the pipe wall, and the external grouting is initiated. Open the pressure relief hole 304c-3 and the grouting hole. After 10 seconds, close the pressure relief hole 304c-3. The external grouting machine begins grouting repair through the grouting hole. The grouting time is 5 minutes. At this time, close the grouting hole and open the cleaning hole. The external grouting machine begins to inject clean water to clean the grouting pipe. After a period of time, the grout in the repair tank 304c-1 solidifies. Retrieve the third electric telescopic rod 304b-1 and the fourth electric telescopic rod 304b-3. Open the grouting hole and inject clean water into the external grouting machine to clean the repair tank 304c-1. The first airbag 303a and the second airbag 303b are deflated to return to their initial state. The repair is complete.
