[0042] Furthermore, the wire brush body 5 is woven from 50 high-strength fine steel wires, offering excellent wear resistance and flexibility. Connected to the outer shaft 2 via a rotating arm 8, the wire brush body 5 is driven by an electric push rod 3, telescoping to remove stubborn rust. The brush body is coated with a rust inhibitor and lubricant, enhancing rust removal and forming a protective layer after cleaning.
[0043] Furthermore, the high-pressure nozzle 6 is the device's primary cleaning component, consisting of six ceramic nozzles. Connected to a high-pressure water pump via a water pipe, the nozzle 6 sprays high-pressure water to impact and remove rusted surfaces. The ceramic nozzles are wear-resistant and precise, and the spray angle and quantity can be adjusted as needed, making them suitable for various cleaning scenarios.
[0044] Furthermore, water pipe 7 connects the high-pressure water pump to the high-pressure nozzle 6, responsible for delivering the high-pressure water flow. Made of a high-pressure, corrosion-resistant composite material, water pipe 7 is designed to prevent leakage or damage during extended operation. Quick connectors are installed at both ends of water pipe 7 for easy installation and replacement.
[0045] Furthermore, the rotating arm 8 is an important component of the rotating device, which is tightly combined with the outer shaft 2 and the electric push rod 3 and is made of lightweight alloy material, which can not only reduce the weight of the equipment but also withstand the centrifugal force during rotation; the rotating arm 6 is designed as a retractable structure, which can support the wire brush body 5 to penetrate into the curved or narrow areas inside the pressure vessel for cleaning.
[0046] Furthermore, spring 9 is installed between the wire brush body 5 and the outer shaft 2 as an auxiliary component of the wire brush extension and retraction mechanism.

External wires 10 utilize a double-layer insulation design, with an outer layer made of wear-resistant and waterproof material and an inner layer composed of a high-quality conductive copper core, ensuring safety and stability in high-humidity and high-voltage environments.
[0048] Furthermore, the rust removal cover 11 fits tightly against the opening of the pressure vessel, providing both sealing and support. A sealing ring is embedded in the edge of the cover, and threads and slots are incorporated into the connection with the pressure vessel body to ensure a tight seal during operation. The rust removal cover 11 is constructed from a high-strength alloy material, capable of withstanding the impact forces generated by high-pressure cleaning operations.
[0049] Furthermore, the external water pipe 12 is used to connect the high-pressure water source and the water pipe 7 to provide a stable water flow supply for the high-pressure nozzle 6. The external water pipe 12 adopts a flexible design to adapt to the installation requirements of various working environments, and is tightly connected to the device body through a high-pressure resistant joint to ensure smooth water flow during operation.
[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a control system for an electric rust removal device inside a pressure vessel, wherein the PLC control system includes a control element, a PLC control system, and a handle operation terminal for operating the PLC control system. The control elements are independently controlled and are each provided with a safety protection device; the PLC control system is controlled by a PLC controller and operated through the handle operation terminal.
[0051] Furthermore, the handle operation terminal is connected to the main control unit through a signal line, adopts an ergonomic design, and the shell is made of wear-resistant and non-slip materials.

[0054] The start and stop control module has a start logic such that when the operator inputs a start signal on the handle operation terminal, the PLC of the start and stop control module receives the signal and activates the high-pressure nozzle control module and the wire brush control module to start the rust removal operation; the stop logic such that when the operator inputs a stop signal, the PLC of the start and stop control module shuts down the high-pressure nozzle control module and the wire brush control module to stop the operation of the electric rust removal device inside the pressure vessel;
[0055] When the high-pressure nozzle control module enters the rust removal mode, the PLC of the high-pressure nozzle control module activates the high-pressure nozzle 6, and the high-pressure nozzle 6 rotates inside the pressure vessel through the rotation of the outer shaft 2, and the water flow fully covers the pressure vessel; the PLC of the high-pressure nozzle control module adjusts the control elements according to the actual rust removal needs, so that the number of activated nozzles is 1 to 6;
[0056] When the wire brush control module receives a rust removal mode signal, the PLC of the wire brush control module controls the motor 1 to drive the outer shaft 2, driving the rotating arm 8 to rotate, so that the wire brush body 5 rotates; when receiving a stop signal, the PLC of the wire brush control module controls the motor 1 to stop, shutting down the rotation of the wire brush body 5; the PLC of the wire brush control module extends the wire brush body 5 by activating the control elements on the electric push rod 3 and the spring 9;
[0057] The emergency stop control module monitors the emergency stop signal in real time; when the emergency stop signal is received, the PLC of the emergency stop control module immediately shuts down the motor 1, the high-pressure nozzle 6 and the wire brush body 5, and triggers a safety alarm signal, while ensuring that the machine enters a safe shutdown state;
[0058] The safety protection and alarm module continuously monitors the operating status of the high-pressure nozzle control module and the wire brush control module. When any abnormality is detected, the PLC of the safety protection and alarm module will trigger an alarm signal and output fault information, and at the same time shut down the electric rust removal device inside the pressure vessel to ensure safe shutdown. In the event of a fault, the handle operation terminal will display specific fault information;
[0059] The fault diagnosis and maintenance module monitors the status of the electric rust removal device inside the pressure vessel in real time to detect whether there is a fault; when a fault is detected, the PLC of the fault diagnosis and maintenance module will display the fault code and provide relevant information and maintenance suggestions for troubleshooting through the handle operation terminal.
[0060] The user interface and operation module display the working status of the electric rust removal device inside the pressure vessel in real time, including the rotation speed of the high-pressure nozzle 6, the start and stop status of the high-pressure nozzle 6, the rotation speed and telescopic length of the wire brush body 5; the operator adjusts the rust removal mode, the number of high-pressure nozzles 6 started, the rotation speed and telescopic length parameters of the wire brush body 5 through the handle operation terminal, and the PLC of the user interface and operation module will adjust the rotation speed and the number of high-pressure nozzles 6 started, and the telescopic length of the wire brush body 5 in the electric rust removal device inside the pressure vessel according to the control signal input by the user, and feedback the operating status; the operation interface provides fault information and maintenance suggestions.
[0061] When the user needs to remove rust, further connect the external water pipe 12 to the high-pressure water pump to ensure normal high-pressure water supply; connect the external wire 10 to the PLC control system and power supply. Check whether all connections are secure, especially the sealing ring between the rust removal cover 11 and the pressure vessel opening, to ensure that there is no water leakage.
[0062] Furthermore, the operator sends a start command through the handle operation terminal, and the PLC control system activates the motor 1, outer shaft 2, electric push rod 3, cylinder 4, wire brush body 5, high-pressure nozzle 6 and rotating arm 8 in sequence; completes self-inspection according to the sensor feedback information, and starts to execute the cleaning task after confirming that all components are operating normally.
[0063] Furthermore, according to the rust condition in the pressure vessel, a suitable cleaning mode is selected through the handle operation terminal: high-pressure cleaning mode: start the high-pressure nozzle 6 and use high-pressure water flow to remove floating rust; deep cleaning mode: start the wire brush body 5 and remove stubborn rust by rotation and extension; comprehensive cleaning mode: the high-pressure nozzle 6 and the wire brush body 5 work together to comprehensively treat various types of rust.
[0064] Furthermore, during operation, the PLC control system dynamically adjusts the operating parameters of each component based on real-time monitoring data. For example, if the sensor detects an area with less corrosion, the number of high-pressure nozzles will be reduced or the speed of the wire brush body 5 will be lowered; if a complex area is detected, the extension length of the wire brush body 5 will be increased or the intensity of the high-pressure water flow will be increased.
[0065] Furthermore, if an abnormality occurs during operation, such as unstable water pressure or motor overload, the PLC control system triggers the emergency stop program, shuts down the high-pressure nozzle 6, the wire brush body 5 and the motor 1 in sequence, and reminds the operator to check the problem through sound and light alarms.
[0066] Furthermore, after cleaning is completed, the operator sends a stop command through the handle operation terminal, and the system shuts down each component in turn and automatically resets to the initial state to prepare for the next cleaning task.
