Description

[0002] With the advancement of urbanization, more and more people are gathering in cities from rural areas, and people live more densely. This requires the construction of more dense and interconnected sewer pipes to collect domestic sewage and industrial sewage, so that the sewage can be discharged to the wastewater treatment plant for safe and scientific treatment, and then discharged safely. With the advancement of use time, the drainage and sewage discharge capacity of sewer pipes has deteriorated day by day. Some sewer pipes have accumulated a lot of debris or adhered to a lot of calcified substances. The impact of sewage cannot wash it away at all. In addition to the reduction of sewage flow cross-section, sewage also rubs against the rough surface of dirt during flow, causing internal turbulence, which significantly curbs the flow capacity. This greatly reduces the sewage discharge capacity of sewer pipes and makes the accumulation of debris in sewers more significant. This requires regular maintenance and cleaning of sewer pipes.

[0003] Solving the problem of garbage blockage in urban sewers and cleaning sewers more conveniently and efficiently are the main problems in urban sewer cleaning at present. In the existing technology, sewers are often cleaned and dredged manually, which is inefficient and has a poor working environment. Some people use high-pressure water pipes for dredging, but new blockages will still form after dredging, which cannot completely solve the problem of sewer blockage. Summary of the invention
