[0002] Pipeline cleaning refers to dredging the pipeline, cleaning the sludge and other wastes inside the pipeline to maintain long-term smoothness. And pigging is an important process in the construction of long-distance pipelines. The construction method is to use compressed air to push the pig to run inside the pipeline to achieve the purpose of removing dirt, welding slag and other sundries. The pig is equipped with fixed monitoring devices, which are evenly distributed at key parts of the whole line. One person is arranged to watch and keep vigil at each point, and each duty personnel is guaranteed to have a communication mobile phone or walkie-talkie in hand to report the passing situation of the pig at any time; However, when ordinary pigging is in use, when it encounters dirt that is difficult to clean inside the pipeline, it is very difficult to displace and clean the pig. At the same time, when retrieving the pig, if the end of the pig is sticky with dirt, it is very difficult to retrieve it to a suitable position. For this reason, we have proposed an automated device that can intelligently clean the residual medium in the pipeline. Summary of the Invention

It should be understood that the description in the form of a range is only for convenience and brevity, and should not be construed as a rigid limitation on the scope of the present application. Therefore, it should be considered that the described range description has specifically disclosed all possible sub-ranges and single values within that range. For example, it should be considered that the range description from 1 to 6 has specifically disclosed sub-ranges such as from 1 to 3, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 5, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 6, from 3 to 6, etc., and single numbers within the range, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, and this applies regardless of the range. Additionally, whenever a numerical range is indicated in the present application, it means including any cited number (fraction or integer) within the indicated range. Unless otherwise specifically stated, various raw materials, reagents, instruments, and equipment used in the present application can be obtained through market purchases or can be prepared using existing equipment.

[0021] In the present application, unless otherwise stated, the orientation terms such as "upper" and "lower" specifically refer to the drawing directions in the drawings. Additionally, in the present application, terms such as "comprising" and "including" mean "including but not limited to". In the present application, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. In the present application, "and / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects and indicates that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, and B exists alone. Where A and B can be singular or plural. In the present application, "at least one" means one or more, and "a plurality" means two or more. "At least one kind", "at least one of the following items (pieces)" or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single items or plural items. For example, "at least one of a, b, or c", or, "at least one of a, b, and c" can both represent: a, b, c, a - b (i.e., a and b), a - c, b - c, or a - b - c, where a, b, and c can be single or multiple respectively.

[0022] As Figures 1-7 shown: An embodiment of the present application provides an automated device that can achieve intelligent cleaning of residual media in a pipeline, including: A main housing 1, with a storage housing 10, a liquid outlet pipe 7, and a liquid inlet pipe 2 provided on the left, right, and front sides of the main housing 1 respectively; A cleaning ball passing mechanism, wherein a main body mechanism 12 is provided in the middle part of the cleaning ball passing mechanism, a rotating connecting ring 13 is sleeved on the outer side of the main body mechanism 12 through a bearing, a plurality of balls 15 are evenly arranged on the outer side of the rotating connecting ring 13, rubber scraper rings 14 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer sides of the rotating connecting ring 13, a buffer cavity 20 is opened on both sides of the main body mechanism 12, a buffer block 18 is inserted into the inner limit of the receiving cavity 20, and an iron block 16 is fixedly embedded in the middle of the outer end of the buffer block 18; A gear ring 22 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner side wall of the rotating connecting ring 13, and a gear 23 is meshedly connected inside the gear ring 22. The middle of the gear 23 is plugged into the rotating shaft of the motor 24. A plurality of cone rods 17 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer ends of the rotating connecting ring 13. The sealing plate 8 and the baffle ring 9 are movably arranged on the left and right sides of the interior of the main shell 1 and are located on the left and right sides of the liquid outlet of the liquid inlet pipe 2. The sealing plate 8 and the baffle ring 9 can be moved up and down, and moved upward to be accommodated in the interior of the connecting platform 25.

[0023] Specifically, when the pipeline needs to be cleaned, the overall structure at the head end starts the second cylinder 5 to drive the sealing plate 8 and the retaining ring 9 to move upward at the same time, and are stored in the first storage chamber 26, the storage groove 27 and the second storage chamber 28. Then, the first cylinder 4 is started, and the electromagnet 11 is powered off and demagnetized, so that the cleaning ball mechanism is pushed to move rightward as a whole. When entering the inside of the liquid outlet pipe 7, the flow of liquid forces the cleaning ball mechanism to move along the flow direction of the liquid. The displaced cleaning ball mechanism can remove the attachments on the inner wall of the pipeline through the rubber scraper ring 14, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of the pipeline. And when the display position of the cleaning ball-passing mechanism does not change, it indicates that there are attachments inside the pipe that are difficult to clean. At this time, the remote control start motor 24 will drive the gear 23 to rotate, thereby rotating the rack 22, and rotating the connecting ring 13, thereby rotating each cone rod 17. Since the cleaning ball-passing mechanism encounters resistance, the pressure on the left side increases, and the buffer block 18 on the right side is retracted to the left into the buffer chamber 20, so that the rotating cone rod 17 will continuously cut the dirt attached to the pipe wall, thereby being able to forcefully remove the attachments in the pipe.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown: a rechargeable battery 19 is provided inside the main body mechanism 12 , and the rechargeable battery 19 is connected to a motor 24 via a wire, and the motor 24 is fixedly connected inside the main body mechanism 12 .

[0025] Specifically, the rechargeable battery 19 adopts the existing battery on the market, and the rechargeable battery 19 supplies power to the electrical equipment on the cleaning ball passing mechanism.

[0026] likeFigure 3 As shown: Inside the buffer cavity 20, there is a spring 21.

[0027] Specifically: The spring 21 is in a compressed state.

[0028] As Figure 1 shown: At the outer end of the storage housing 10, there is a sealing plate 3 fixedly connected. In the middle of the outer end of the sealing plate 3, there is a first cylinder 4 fixedly connected. The transmission rod of the first cylinder 4 is hermetically and movably inserted in the middle of the sealing plate 3, and at the end of the transmission rod of the first cylinder 4, there is an electromagnet 11 fixedly connected.

[0029] Specifically: The first cylinder 4 is a cylinder available on the market and is an existing device. The first cylinder 4 is connected to the cylinder controller 6 to control the state of the first cylinder 4.

[0030] As Figure 1 shown: At the upper end of the main housing 1, there is a connecting platform 25 fixedly provided, and at the upper end of the connecting platform 25, there is a cylinder controller 6 and a second cylinder 5 fixedly connected.

[0031] The transmission rod of the second cylinder 5 is movably and hermetically inserted on the left side of the connecting platform 25. The lower end of the transmission rod of the second cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the sealing plate 8. The upper right part of the sealing plate 8 is fixedly connected to a retaining ring 9 through a connecting rod 29.

[0032] Specifically: The second cylinder 5 is a cylinder available on the market and is an existing device. The second cylinder 5 is connected to the cylinder controller 6 to control the state of the second cylinder 5.

[0033] As Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown: On the left side, right side and middle of the inside of the connecting platform 25, there are respectively a first storage cavity 26, a storage groove 27 and a second storage cavity 28. The first storage cavity 26, the storage groove 27 and the second storage cavity 28 are respectively movably inserted with the sealing plate 8, the connecting rod 29 and the retaining ring 9.

[0034] Specifically: The first storage cavity 26, the storage groove 27 and the second storage cavity 28 are the storage spaces for the sealing plate 8, the connecting rod 29 and the retaining ring 9.

[0035] As Figure 3 shown: The outer side of the rubber scraping ring 14 is arc-shaped.

[0036] Specifically: The arc shape can increase the buffering performance of the rubber scraping ring 14.

[0037] As Figure 7 shown: The lower left part of the sealing plate 8 is beveled.

[0038] Specifically: The sealing plate 8 cooperates with the side wall of the buffer block 18.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer sides of the rubber scraper ring 14 and the ball 15 are pressed and fitted with the inner side walls of the main housing 1, the receiving housing 10, the liquid outlet pipe 7 and the liquid inlet pipe 2 when the cleaning ball passing mechanism is in motion.

[0040] Specifically: the cleaning ball-passing mechanism can be displaced in the internal space of the tube.

[0041] Principle of use: When the device is in use, the overall structure is provided with two, which are respectively arranged at the head and tail ends of the pipeline, that is, through the liquid outlet pipe 7 and the liquid inlet pipe 2, it needs to be connected to the pipeline for transporting liquid. In the initial state, the sealing plate 8 and the retaining ring 9 are plugged into the inside of the main shell 1, and the sealing plate 8 seals the storage shell 10, and the cleaning ball mechanism is inside the storage shell 10, and the inside of the cleaning ball mechanism is also provided with a positioning device and a remote control chip on the market, and the switch state of the motor 24 can be controlled by receiving information through the remote control chip; When it is necessary to clean the pipeline, the overall structure at the head end starts the second cylinder 5 to drive the sealing plate 8 and the retaining ring 9 to move upward at the same time, and store them in the first storage chamber 26, the storage groove 27 and the second storage chamber 28. Then the first cylinder 4 is started, and the electromagnet 11 is powered off and demagnetized, so that the cleaning ball mechanism is pushed to move rightward as a whole. When it enters the inside of the liquid outlet pipe 7, the flow of liquid forces the cleaning ball mechanism to move along the flow direction of the liquid. The displaced cleaning ball mechanism can remove the attachments on the inner wall of the pipeline through the rubber scraper ring 14, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of the pipeline. And when the display position of the cleaning ball mechanism does not change, it means that there are attachments inside the pipeline that are difficult to clean. At this time, the remote control start motor 24 will drive the gear 23 to rotate, so that the rack 22 rotates, and the rotating connecting ring 13, so that each cone rod 17 rotates. Since the cleaning ball mechanism encounters resistance, the pressure on the left side increases, so that the buffer block 18 on the right side is stored to the left inside the buffer chamber 20, so that the rotating cone rod 17 will continuously cut the dirt attached to the pipe wall, so that the attachments of the pipeline can be removed forcefully. If starting the motor does not work, human intervention is required; After the cleaning is completed, the cleaning and pigging mechanism will enter the interior of the main housing 1 at the tail end, and the sealing plate 8 and the retaining ring 9 are inserted into the main housing 1. The cleaning and pigging mechanism is located between the sealing plate 8 and the retaining ring 9. At this time, start the first cylinder 4, and at the same time, the electromagnet 11 is energized and has magnetism, so that the electromagnet 11 attracts the iron block 16, making one of the iron blocks 16 tightly fit against the sealing plate 8. Then start the second cylinder 5 again to drive the sealing plate 8 and the retaining ring 9 to move upward simultaneously. Due to the magnetic attraction, when the sealing plate 8 is withdrawn, the electromagnet 11 and the iron block 16 are attracted together. Then the first cylinder 4 drives the transmission rod to contract, so that the cleaning and pigging mechanism is received inside the receiving housing 10. Start the second cylinder 5 again to drive the sealing plate 8 and the retaining ring 9 to move downward simultaneously, which can seal the receiving housing 10, so that the sealing plate 3 can be disassembled and the cleaning and pigging mechanism can be taken out for cleaning and maintenance; And when closing the sealing plate 8 at the tail end, if dirt adheres to the cleaning and pigging mechanism and blocks the downward displacement of the sealing plate 8, due to the downward extrusion force of the sealing plate 8, the squeezed buffer block 18 will be received to the left inside the buffer cavity 20, so that the sealing plate 8 can smoothly move downward to the sealing position.

[0042] The above are only specific embodiments of the present application, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be obvious to those skilled in the art. The general principles defined in the present application can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to these embodiments shown in the present application, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features claimed in the present application.
