[0035] The materials of the first liquid discharge pipeline 201, the second liquid discharge pipeline 202, the liquid inlet pipeline 203, the first connecting pipeline 204, the second connecting pipeline 205, the third connecting pipeline 206, the first delivery pipeline 207 and the second delivery pipeline 208 can be selected as needed.

[0036] In one embodiment, the cavity above the cleaning liquid level in the liquid storage tank 100 is an air cavity, and the air cavity is connected to the liquid inlet pipeline 203.
[0037] After the heating unit heats the cleaning liquid in the liquid inlet pipeline 203, the heated cleaning liquid will partially evaporate to produce steam; the pneumatic diaphragm pump 212 pumps air into the liquid inlet pipeline 203, which will also cause gas to exist in the pipeline; a large amount of cleaning liquid will carry gas and gather in the liquid storage tank 100, so that an air cavity exists in the upper part of the liquid storage tank 100.
[0038] The liquid storage tank 100 is provided with an exhaust valve 214, a safety valve 215 and a pressure gauge 216 which are communicated with the air cavity.

[0040] In one embodiment, the pipeline assembly further includes a reflective layer and a thermal insulation layer; all pipelines in the pipeline assembly are provided with a reflective layer and a thermal insulation layer, and the reflective layer is located outside the thermal insulation layer. The thermal insulation layer can be made of glass wool, rock wool, polyurethane foam, rubber and plastic thermal insulation materials, etc. These materials have low thermal conductivity and can effectively reduce heat loss. The reflective layer can be made of aluminum foil to reflect thermal radiation and reduce heat loss.
[0041] In one embodiment, the first ultrasonic generating unit and the second ultrasonic generating unit both include an ultrasonic generator 209 and a transducer 210 connected to each other; in the first ultrasonic generating unit, the transducer 210 is connected to the liquid inlet pipeline 203, and the transducer 210 is located between the liquid storage tank 100 and the heating unit. In the second ultrasonic generating unit, the transducer 210 is connected to the first delivery pipeline 207 or the second delivery pipeline 208 (not shown in the figure).
[0042] The function of the ultrasonic generator 209 is to convert electrical energy into a high-frequency alternating current signal that matches the ultrasonic transducer 210. The transducer 210 converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, so that the microbubbles in the cleaning liquid maintain high-frequency vibration under the action of sound waves. The shock waves generated by the rupture of countless tiny cavitation bubbles are the "cavitation" phenomenon of ultrasound. The ultrasonic waves in the liquid inlet pipeline 203 are transmitted to the pipeline assembly through the cleaning liquid to prevent dirt or oil from adhering to the pipeline assembly. The second ultrasonic generating unit transmits the ultrasonic wave to the aircraft sewage pipeline through the cleaning liquid. The dirt on the pipe wall is fatigued and destroyed under the action of high-frequency alternating stress and is removed, gradually loosened, softened and falls off, thereby achieving the purpose of descaling.
[0043] In one embodiment, the cleaning device also includes a processor, an ultrasonic analyzer and an ultrasonic receiver; the first ultrasonic generating unit, the second ultrasonic generating unit, the ultrasonic analyzer and the ultrasonic receiver are all electrically connected to the processor; the ultrasonic receiver is used to be arranged on a side of the aircraft sewage pipeline away from the first delivery pipeline or the second delivery pipeline.
[0044] Cleaning fluids with different turbidities have different absorption and scattering characteristics of ultrasonic waves. Therefore, an ultrasonic receiver is set on the side of the aircraft sewage pipeline away from the first delivery pipeline or the second delivery pipeline. The ultrasonic receiver can receive the ultrasonic waves emitted by the second ultrasonic generating unit and transmitted in the aircraft sewage pipeline. The ultrasonic analyzer can analyze the attenuation characteristics of the ultrasonic waves to determine the turbidity of the cleaning fluid. The faster the ultrasonic wave attenuates, the more turbid the cleaning fluid is, and the processor controls the second ultrasonic generating unit to emit a higher frequency of ultrasonic waves.
[0045] The cleaning device can be integrated together, and a forklift position and casters can be arranged under the cleaning device so as to be dragged by a forklift, a lift or manpower.

[0061] Step d: connect the first liquid discharge pipeline 201 with the second connecting pipeline 205, connect the second liquid discharge pipeline 202 and the third connecting pipeline with the liquid inlet pipeline 203, and connect the third connecting pipeline 206 with the first connecting pipeline 204; use the pneumatic diaphragm pump 212 to allow the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage tank 100 to enter the aircraft sewage pipeline circulation through the second liquid discharge pipeline 202, the liquid inlet pipeline 203, the third connecting pipeline 206, the first connecting pipeline 204 and the first delivery pipeline 207, and the circulated cleaning liquid flows back to the liquid storage tank 100 after passing through the second delivery pipeline 208, the second connecting pipeline 205 and the first liquid discharge pipeline 201.

[0063] The cleaning liquid in the liquid storage tank 100 enters the liquid inlet pipeline 203 from the second liquid discharge pipeline 202 through the y, x ports of the three-way valve B313, enters the first connecting pipeline 204 after passing through the filter 213, the pneumatic diaphragm pump 212, the eighth valve 308, the sixth valve 306 and the third valve 303, and then enters the aircraft sewage pipeline from the first delivery pipeline 207 for circulation. The circulated cleaning liquid enters the second connecting pipeline 205 from the second delivery pipeline 208, passes through the first valve 301, and then enters the liquid storage tank 100 along the first liquid discharge pipeline 201.
[0064] In each pressure cleaning process, two-way circulation cleaning is performed several times, that is, the cleaning liquid flows out from the first connecting pipeline 204 and flows into the second connecting pipeline 205; or the cleaning liquid flows out from the second connecting pipeline 205 and flows into the first connecting pipeline 204, so that the cleaning effect is better and it is conducive to the complete discharge of solid waste.
[0065] The cleaning time is determined by the thickness of the scale and is usually 1 to 2 hours.
[0066] S104, turning on the first ultrasonic generating unit and the second ultrasonic generating unit to provide high-frequency vibration waves to the liquid in the pipeline assembly.
[0067] The ultrasonic generating unit is required to work during the entire cleaning process. It continuously transmits longitudinal high-frequency vibration waves to the liquid. Cavitation bubbles generate powerful shock waves around them, which repeatedly impact the dirt layer until the dirt falls off. At the same time, it can also decompose and emulsify the greasy dirt excreted by the human body. The ultrasonic wave does not damage the inner wall of the aircraft sewage pipe. The first ultrasonic generating unit can prevent dirt or oil from adhering to the pipe assembly, and the second ultrasonic generating unit can transmit the ultrasonic wave to the aircraft sewage pipe.
[0068] S105, connect the first liquid discharge pipeline 201, the second liquid discharge pipeline 202 and the third connecting pipeline 206 to the liquid inlet pipeline 203, connect the third connecting pipeline 206 to the first connecting pipeline 204, disconnect the first connecting pipeline 204 from the first delivery pipeline 207, and close the second connecting pipeline 205; use the pneumatic diaphragm pump 212 to allow the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage tank 100 to enter the liquid inlet pipeline 203 through the first liquid discharge pipeline 201 and the second liquid discharge pipeline 202, and then be discharged from the first connecting pipeline 204 through the third connecting pipeline 206.
[0069] Open the x and y ports of the three-way valve A312, and close the z port of the three-way valve A312; open the x and y ports of the three-way valve B313, and close the z port of the three-way valve B313; open the second valve 302, the third valve 303, the sixth valve 306 and the eighth valve 308, and close the remaining valve bodies in the pipeline assembly.
[0070] The cleaning liquid in the liquid storage tank 100 enters the liquid inlet pipeline 203 from the first liquid discharge pipeline 201 through the x, y ports of the three-way valve A312, and enters the liquid inlet pipeline 203 from the second liquid discharge pipeline 202 through the y, x ports of the three-way valve B313; after passing through the filter 213, the pneumatic diaphragm pump 212, the eighth valve 308, the sixth valve 306 and the third valve 303, it is discharged from the first connecting pipeline 204.
[0071] The filter 213 is used to collect dirt that has escaped from the aircraft sewage pipeline, isolate the dirt from the cleaning liquid, and prevent the dirt from flowing to the pneumatic diaphragm pump 212.
[0072] When cleaning the aircraft sewage pipe with cleaning fluid, the cleaning fluid needs to be heated. After the cleaning fluid has finished cleaning the aircraft sewage pipe, cold and hot clean water can be used for circulating rinses according to different temperature environments. For example, hot clean water can be used for cleaning in winter and cold clean water can be used for cleaning in summer to further remove dirt particles on the edges, corners, pores, and suspended on the inner wall of the aircraft sewage pipe, and to minimize the residual amount of cleaning fluid in the aircraft sewage pipe to meet the aircraft airworthiness requirements.
[0073] In one embodiment, in steps S101-S105, the flow rate of each pipeline in the pipeline assembly is ≤470 lpm, specifically: the flow rate is ≤454 lpm. The flow rate can be changed by the pressure of the pneumatic diaphragm pump.
[0074] In one embodiment, in step S101, the heating unit heats the cleaning liquid in the liquid inlet pipeline 203, and the temperature of the cleaning liquid after heating may be in the range of 40-50°C.
[0075] In one embodiment, in steps S101-S105, the pressure range of the pneumatic diaphragm pump 212 is 0.3-1 MPa, specifically, 0.4-0.86 MPa.
[0076] In one embodiment, in steps S101-S105, the cleaning liquid in the liquid storage tank 100 may include acidic cleaning liquid, alkaline cleaning liquid, cold clean water and hot clean water.
[0077] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
