Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipeline treatment equipment technology, specifically to a pipeline socket cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] In water pipeline construction, ductile iron pipes are frequently used as water supply pipelines. Before connecting the pipes, the sockets of the ductile iron pipes need to be cleaned and lubricated. If these procedures are performed manually, the tedious process becomes extremely labor-intensive, especially during large-scale installations of ductile iron pipes. While some dust and impurities inside the sockets can be completely removed using dust extraction equipment, rusted areas on the sockets require repeated rust removal and polishing to meet normal usage requirements.

[0003] Traditional cleaning equipment can perform simple rust removal operations, but the degree of rust varies in different locations during the actual rust removal process. As a result, operators cannot easily determine whether the rust removal is thorough. If the rust removal is not thorough, it will affect the normal connection and installation between pipes.

[0038] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, so as to provide a better understanding of the concept of the present invention, the technical problem solved, the technical features constituting the technical solution, and the technical effects brought about.

[0039] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a pipe socket cleaning device includes a base plate 1, rollers 2, lifting components 3, mounting plate 4, first motor 5, rotating rod 6, cleaning components 7 and grinding components 8;

[0040] The lifting component 3 is mounted on the base plate 1 and drives the mounting plate 4 to move up and down.

[0041] The rotating rod 6 is rotatably and horizontally disposed on the upper part of the mounting plate 4; a vertical first fixing plate 61 is sleeved in the middle of the rotating rod 6;

[0042] The first motor 5 is mounted on the first fixed plate 61 and drives the rotating rod 6 to rotate.

[0043] Grinding component 8 is located at the front end of rotating rod 6 and is used to remove rust from pipe sockets;

[0044] The cleaning component 7, located at the front end of the rotating part 6, is used to clean the pipe socket.

[0045] When using this device, the position of the rotating rod 6 is adjusted by raising and lowering the lifting assembly 3, aligning the rotating rod 6 with the pipe. The first motor 5 is then started, and its output shaft drives the rotating rod 6 to rotate. The grinding assembly 8 contacts the area of ​​the pipe inner wall that needs grinding and rotates under the influence of the rotating rod 6. Simultaneously, the cleaning assembly 7 is activated to absorb the grinding debris, thus cleaning the debris inside the pipe socket. The lifting assembly 3 is a common existing technology and can be a hydraulic lifting rod. The top of the lifting rod is connected to the mounting plate 4, which moves the mounting plate 4. Rollers 2 can also be installed at the lower end of the base plate 1, allowing the device to be moved to the pipe socket for easy relocation of the work position.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the rotating rod 6 includes a movable rod 62 and a moving rod 63; the left end of the movable rod 62 passes through the upper part of the mounting plate 4, and the moving rod 63 is fitted onto the right end of the movable rod 62; a first fixing plate 61 is fitted onto the middle part of the movable rod 62, and the output shaft of the first motor 5 passes through the first fixing plate 61 and is connected to a rotating circular plate 64, the edge of which is provided with a fixing shaft 65; a vertical second fixing plate 66 is provided at the lower end of the moving rod 63, and an elongated through hole 67 is provided at the lower end of the second fixing plate 66, into which the fixing shaft 65 is inserted; the rotating circular plate 64 rotates, driving the fixing shaft 65 and the second fixing plate 66 to move, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating rod 6. In this embodiment, the first motor 5 is started to drive the rotating circular plate 64 to rotate. Since the fixed shaft 65 is fixedly installed on the rotating circular plate 64, the fixed shaft 65 follows the rotating circular plate 64 to rotate and drive the second fixed plate 66 to rotate. Since the second fixed plate 66 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 6, the rotating rod 6 rotates under the drive of the second fixed plate 66, driving the grinding component 8 and the cleaning component 7 to rotate, expanding the working area and improving the working efficiency.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown in a preferred embodiment, the mounting plate 4 has a horizontal limiting rod 9 on its left side, and a limiting block 91 at the left end of the limiting rod 9; the left end of the moving rod 62 has a third fixing plate 92, the upper part of which is fitted onto the limiting rod 9 for limiting. In this embodiment, when the operator pulls the moving rod 62, the third fixing plate 92 is fixedly connected to the left end of the moving rod 62. The third fixing plate 92 is fitted onto the limiting rod 9 and moves along the direction of the limiting rod 9. The limiting rod 9 can play a role in stabilizing the load and ensuring that the moving rod 62 moves horizontally, allowing for grinding and cleaning of different positions inside the pipe, ensuring that it is always in the center of the pipe, and improving the stability of the device.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the grinding assembly 8 includes an L-shaped mounting bracket 81, a vertical screw 82, a lifting rod 83, a mounting block 84, a first mounting arm 85, a second motor 86, and a grinding roller 87. The upper end of the L-shaped mounting bracket 81 is connected to the bottom of the rotating rod 6, and the vertical screw 82 passes downward through the rotating rod 6 and is connected to the bottom horizontal plate of the L-shaped mounting bracket 81 through a bearing. The lifting rod 83 is arranged horizontally, and its rear end is screwed to the vertical screw 82. The mounting block 84 is arranged at the front end of the lifting rod 83. The first mounting arm 85 is arranged vertically below the mounting block 84. The grinding roller 87 is arranged horizontally at the bottom front end of the first mounting arm 85. The second motor 86 is arranged at the bottom rear end of the first mounting arm 85, and its output shaft passes through the first mounting arm 85 and is connected to the grinding roller 87 to drive the grinding roller 87 to rotate. In this embodiment, the vertical screw 82 is first rotated. Since the vertical screw 82 and the lifting rod 83 are screwed together at the rear end, the lifting rod 83 moves downward when the vertical screw 82 is rotated, which drives the mounting block 84 and the first mounting arm 85 to move downward. The grinding roller 87 presses against the inner wall of the pipe downward to remove rust from the inner wall of the pipe. After the rust removal is completed, the vertical screw 82 is rotated in the opposite direction to make the grinding roller 87 move upward, detach from the inner wall of the pipe, and move to the next working area.

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a transverse detection plate 89 is fitted onto the first mounting arm 85, and the upper end of the first mounting arm 85 is retractably connected to the bottom of the mounting block 84. A spring 810 is fitted onto the first mounting arm 85 between the transverse detection plate 89 and the mounting block 84, and an infrared rangefinder 811 is provided at the lower end of the mounting block 84 to detect the distance between the mounting block 84 and the transverse detection plate 89. In this embodiment, during the downward movement of the grinding assembly 8, the spring 810 is compressed. When the grinding roller 87 presses against the inner wall of the pipe to work, as the work progresses, the rust on the inner wall of the pipe is removed, and the spring 810 begins to release elastic potential energy, driving the transverse detection plate 89 to move downward. The infrared rangefinder 811 detects the change in distance, and based on the preset pipe radius, the position of the first mounting arm 85 can be monitored, thereby stopping the grinding assembly 8 from working, saving energy and avoiding safety hazards.

[0050] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in a preferred embodiment, the vertical rod of the L-shaped mounting bracket 81 is provided with a second elongated through hole, and the rear end of the lifting rod 83, after passing through the second elongated through hole, is provided with a second limiting block 88. In this embodiment, the second limiting block 88 is provided after the rear end of the lifting rod 83 passes through the second elongated through hole. The second limiting block 88 limits the movement so that the end of the lifting rod 83 always passes through the L-shaped mounting bracket 81, improving the stability of the device and restricting the movement trajectory of the lifting rod 83.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the cleaning assembly 7 includes a second mounting arm 71 and a first vacuum cleaner 72. The second mounting arm 71 is L-shaped and obliquely disposed on the side wall of the rotating rod 6. The first vacuum cleaner 72 is horizontally disposed at the end of the crossbar of the second mounting arm 71, with the suction port aligned with the inner wall of the pipe. In this embodiment, the cleaning assembly 7 rotates under the drive of the rotating rod 6 to expand the cleaning area. During cleaning, the second mounting arm 71 serves as a mounting connector, and the first vacuum cleaner 72 rotates under the drive of the second mounting arm 71. When performing polishing operations, the first vacuum cleaner 72 is activated to adsorb the polished rust, thus completing the cleaning.

[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a second vacuum cleaner 73 is also included. The second vacuum cleaner 73 is disposed at the connection between the vertical and horizontal bars of the second mounting arm 71, with the suction port facing outwards and aligned with the inner wall of the pipe. In this embodiment, the second vacuum cleaner 73 is also disposed on the second mounting arm 71, serving as a supplement to the first vacuum cleaner 72, and working together with the first vacuum cleaner 72 to improve the adsorption and cleaning effect. Since the vacuum cleaner is existing technology, its related accessories will not be described in detail when using this device.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, a third mounting arm 10 is also included. The third mounting arm 10 is L-shaped and obliquely disposed on the side wall of the rotating rod 6. A fuel injection pump 101 and a fuel injector 102 are mounted on the crossbar of the third mounting arm 10. In this embodiment, after the inner wall of the pipe is ground and rust-removed, the third mounting arm 10 is rotated to adjust the position of the fuel injection pump 101 and the fuel injector 102. The fuel injector 102 sprays fuel onto the rust-removed and cleaned areas of the inner wall of the pipe to prevent secondary rusting before assembly, thus providing better protection.

[0054] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the base plate 1 is further provided with a counterweight 11. In this embodiment, the counterweight 11 is provided on the base plate 1 to improve the stability of the base plate 1 and prevent the device from tipping over during operation.

[0055] The terms "connection" and "fixing" appearing in the description of this invention can refer to fixed connection, processing and forming, welding, or mechanical connection. The specific meaning of the above terms in this invention should be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0056] In the description of this invention, the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., are used only to indicate the orientation or positional relationship for the convenience of describing this invention and to simplify the description, and do not indicate or imply a specific orientation that the device or element referred to must have, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this invention.

[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
