The water pump 2 sprays the clean water in the liquid storage barrel 62 onto the inner wall of the pipe through the nozzle 61, thereby completing the cleaning of the inner wall of the pipe.

[0041] like Figure 4-Figure 5As shown, in order to replace the cleaning liquid entering the immersion tank, a drain port 44 is opened in the left spiral groove on the rotating ring 13, and the drain port 44 is connected to the storage chamber 56. A water pump three (not shown in the figure) is arranged in the rotating ring 13. The water pump three is used to pump the used cleaning liquid into the storage chamber 56 through the drain port 44, so that the cleaning liquid that has not reacted with the dirt can react with the dirt in the storage chamber 56 again, thereby making the size of the dirt smaller, which is convenient for the subsequent discharge of the dirt from the storage chamber 56.

[0042] The specific working principle of the present invention is:

[0043] First, place the cleaning device in the pipe to be cleaned, and then start the motor 1 32 and the motor 2. After the motor 2 is started, it drives the swivel 13 and the rotating frame 21 to rotate. When the rotating frame 21 rotates, it drives the forward wheel 22 to rotate around the inner wall of the pipe, thereby driving the frame 1 to move forward in the pipe. At this time, the water pump 1 pumps the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage chamber into the soaking tank through the liquid outlet 43, and the water pump 3 pumps the used cleaning liquid into the storage chamber 56 through the liquid discharge port 44. After the motor 1 32 is started, it drives the milling cutter 31 to rotate. As the frame 1 moves forward in the pipe, the swivel 13 rotates, which drives the milling cutter 31 to cut on the inner wall of the pipe. Spiral groove, then the spiral blade 41 rotates and advances in the spiral groove, at this time, the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage chamber enters the soaking tank through the liquid outlet 43 to soak the dirt, and at the same time, as the frame 1 continues to move forward, the rotating ring 13 rotates and drives the scraper 51 to scrape the dirt on the inner wall of the pipe, and in the process of rotation, the scraper 51 will push the fallen dirt from the lower side to the upper side so as to enter the storage chamber 56 through the feed port 55, and at the same time, the rotating ring 13 drives the crushing roller 53 to rub against the inner wall of the collecting ring 52 to crush the dirt, and when the frame 1 continues to move forward, clean water will be sprayed out from the nozzle 61 to rinse the inner wall of the pipe.

[0044] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is to be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and are not to be construed as limitations of the present invention. A person skilled in the art may change, modify, replace and vary the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
