[0028] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, objects and effects of the present application, the specific embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] As shown in Figure 1 , the pipeline foreign matter grabbing device according to an embodiment of the present application comprises a hand controller 10, a feeding pipe section 20, a bendable pipe section 30 and a foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40; the hand controller 10, the feeding pipe section 20, the bendable pipe section 30 and the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 are sequentially connected in the axial direction, and the pipeline foreign matter grabbing device formed thereby has an overall strip shape, and is suitable for entering and exiting a pipeline for inspection and foreign matter grabbing, and is particularly suitable for use in a slender pipeline.

[0030] Among them, the feeding pipe section 20 and the bendable pipe section 30 are axially connected and communicated, and constitute the main part of the pipeline foreign matter grabbing device in terms of length. The foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 is arranged at the end of the bendable pipe section 30 away from the feeding pipe section 20, and serves as the front end of the pipeline foreign matter grabbing device, and is sent into or out of the pipeline by the feeding pipe section 20 and the bendable pipe section 30, and is used for inspecting and grabbing foreign matters inside the pipeline.

[0031] Specifically, the bendable pipe section 30 is a bellows pipe, which is flexible, bendable and stretchable. The bendable pipe section 30 is preferably made of high-elastic nylon material, and the outer wall thereof is in a fine corrugated structure, so that the bendable pipe section 30 can swing in a large angle range under the action of external force and can automatically return to the original position after the external force is removed. The bendable pipe section 30 is used to realize the swing of the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 at the front end of the pipe section in the pipe relative to the feeding pipe section 20, so that the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 can enter the designated three-way direction when the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 encounters a right-angle three-way pipe during the feeding process.

[0032] The feeding pipe section 20 can also be a bellows pipe, which is also bendable and stretchable. The rigidity of the feeding pipe section 20 is higher than that of the bendable pipe section 30, so that the feeding pipe section 20 has sufficient feeding force and can also drive the bendable pipe section 30 at the front end of the feeding pipe section 20 to move forward.

[0033] The feeding pipe section 20 is preferably realized by a PTFE bellows pipe with a certain flexibility, which ensures that the feeding pipe section 20 can smoothly pass through the pipe joints such as pipe elbows, U-shaped heads and three-way pipes when moving in the pipe. At the same time, since the PTFE material has a low friction coefficient, the feeding pipe section 20 can maintain a low friction coefficient in the pipe during the feeding process.

[0034] In terms of length, the axial length of the feeding pipe section 20 is greater than the axial length of the bendable pipe section 30.

[0035] In combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the hand controller 10 can include a swing assembly 11 and a winding and unwinding driving mechanism 12. The winding and unwinding driving mechanism 12 is arranged at one end of the feeding pipe section 20 away from the bendable pipe section 30, and the swing assembly 11 is arranged in the feeding pipe section 20 and the bendable pipe section 30. One end of the swing assembly 11 is connected to the winding and unwinding driving mechanism 12, and the other end is fixed to the end of the bendable pipe section 30 away from the feeding pipe section 20. The winding and unwinding driving mechanism 12 is used to tighten or loosen the swing assembly 11, so that the swing assembly 11 drives the bendable pipe section 30 connected thereto to bend or swing in the winding and unwinding state, thereby driving the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 to swing and moving in the pipe for inspection and foreign matter grabbing.

[0036] The winding and unwinding driving mechanism 12 includes at least one hand wheel 121, and the swing assembly 11 includes at least two transmission steel wire ropes 111. The two transmission steel wire ropes 111 are respectively connected to opposite sides in the circumferential direction of the hand wheel 121 and are symmetrically distributed on the hand wheel 121 by 180°. Figure 2The hand wheel 121 is radially parallel to the transmission wire ropes 111 in the axial direction, and two transmission wire ropes 111 are connected to the upper and lower sides of the hand wheel 121. The two transmission wire ropes 111 are spaced apart and extend in parallel, and pass through the feeding pipe section 20 and the bendable pipe section 30. The distal end of each transmission wire rope 111 away from the hand wheel 121 is fixed to the end of the bendable pipe section 30 away from the feeding pipe section 20.

[0037] When the hand wheel 121 is rotated in a direction (clockwise or counterclockwise), one transmission wire rope 111 on one side of the hand wheel 121 is tightened, and the other transmission wire rope 111 on the other side is loosened, thereby driving the bendable pipe section 30 to bend or swing in the tightening direction. The tightening and loosening stroke amounts of the two transmission wire ropes 111 on the hand wheel 121 are consistent.

[0038] Specifically, each hand wheel 121 can include a connecting portion and an operating portion connected to each other. One end of the transmission wire rope 111 is wound and connected to the connecting portion of the hand wheel 121. The connecting portion is rotated by rotating the operating portion, so as to tighten one transmission wire rope 111 on the connecting portion and loosen the other transmission wire rope 111.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, the winding and unwinding driving mechanism 12 includes two hand wheels 121, which are arranged side by side and coaxially connected to each other. The swinging assembly 11 includes four transmission wire ropes 111. Each hand wheel 121 connects two transmission wire ropes 111, so that on the two hand wheels 121, the four transmission wire ropes 111 are arranged in two rows and two columns, corresponding to the four peripheries inside the bendable pipe section 30, and can drive the bendable pipe section 30 to swing horizontally or pitch.

[0040] The two hand wheels 121 are relatively independent and can be rotated independently. The two hand wheels 121 control the tightening and loosening of the four transmission wire ropes 111, and correspondingly control the horizontal swinging and pitching of the bendable pipe section 30. Through appropriate motion superposition and combination of the two direction swings, the bendable pipe section 30 and the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 at the front end can swing in any direction radially in the pipeline, thereby smoothly passing through the target pipeline branch, realizing the specified direction passing through the pipeline elbow tee, and also smoothly passing through various pipeline elbows, U-shaped heads, inclined pipelines, vertical pipelines, etc.

[0041] In order to lock the hand wheel 121, the winding and unwinding driving mechanism 12 further includes a locking mechanism 13 arranged on each hand wheel 121 for limiting the rotation of the hand wheel 121. The locking mechanism 13 locks the hand wheel 121 at a specified index position, i.e., maintains the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 at the front end at a certain deflection angle state, facilitating personnel operation and all-directional observation of foreign matter in the pipeline when passing through the tee.

[0042] The locking mechanism 13 can adopt a spring-return bolt structure. When the bolt is lifted outward by the knob and rotated by a certain angle, the protrusion on the bolt is clamped on the end face of the pin barrel, so that the bolt is kept pulled out of the limiting position, and the hand wheel 121 is not interfered by the bolt and can be freely rotated. When the bolt is rotated by a certain angle, the bolt is returned to the limiting position in the pin barrel under the action of the spring-return force, the locking is realized, and the hand wheel 121 is locked, so that the posture of the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 at the front end of the bendable pipe section 30 can be fixed.

[0043] The swing assembly 11 further includes a reset assembly 14 corresponding to each transmission steel wire rope 111. The reset assembly 14 is sleeved on the transmission steel wire rope 111 and close to the hand wheel 121, which helps the transmission steel wire rope 111 to reset after being tensioned.

[0044] The reset assembly 14 can include a reset spring 141. The reset spring 141 is sleeved on the transmission steel wire rope 111, one end of which is fixed opposite to the transmission steel wire rope 111, and the other end extends to the hand wheel 121 and is fixed opposite to a support 143 on one side of the hand wheel 121. The transmission steel wire rope 111 can pass through the support 143 and be connected to the hand wheel 121. When the transmission steel wire rope 111 is tensioned by the hand wheel 121, the reset spring on the transmission steel wire rope 111 is compressed and tightened synchronously. When the transmission steel wire rope 111 is released, the reset spring on the transmission steel wire rope 111 expands and lengthens, avoiding the transmission steel wire rope 111 from being entangled and knotted in this state.

[0045] The reset assembly 14 further includes a sleeve 142, which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the reset spring 141 to enclose and protect the reset spring 141.

[0046] The hand controller 10 further includes a housing 15, in which the winding and unwinding driving mechanism 12 is arranged. The operating part of the hand wheel 121 is exposed outside the housing 15, facilitating the operation of rotating the hand wheel 121. The transmission steel wire rope 111 of the swing assembly 11 passes into the housing 15 and is connected to the winding and unwinding driving mechanism 12. The reset assembly 14 on the transmission steel wire rope 111 is also accommodated in the housing 15.

[0047] As shown in FIGS. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 is detachably installed at the end of the bendable pipe section 30. For this purpose, the end of the bendable pipe section 30 is provided with a mounting flange 31 for cooperating with the mating end of the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40, so as to realize the quick and convenient disassembly and assembly of the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 on the bendable pipe section 30.

[0048] The mounting flange 31 can further be provided with a quick-connection electric contact 32, and the mating end of the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 is correspondingly provided with a quick-connection electric contact plate. When the mating end of the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 is connected to the mounting flange 31, the quick-connection electric contact plate is simultaneously connected to the quick-connection electric contact 32, so as to realize the mechanical connection and electrical connection at the same time.

[0049] The foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 is a tool head with a foreign matter grabbing unit 42 and a camera unit 43, the camera unit 43 is used to find foreign matter in the pipeline and provide remote visual guidance, the foreign matter grabbing unit 42 is used to grab the foreign matter in the pipeline, and the foreign matter is taken out of the pipeline after the pipeline foreign matter grabbing device exits the pipeline. The foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 realizes the integration design of video guidance and foreign matter grabbing tool head, and the foreign matter grabbing operation area is always exposed in the camera field of view, which greatly simplifies the operation.

[0050] The foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 also carries a lighting unit 44, which is used to light the inside of the pipeline for the camera unit 43 to ensure clear imaging.

[0051] Specifically, the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 can include an outer cylinder 41, a foreign matter grabbing unit 42 mounted in the outer cylinder 41, a camera unit 43 and a lighting unit 44. One end of the outer cylinder 41 is an open end, and the opposite end is a butt joint end for mating connection with the mounting flange 31 of the bendable pipe section 30. The foreign matter grabbing unit 42 and the camera unit 43 are close to the open end in the outer cylinder 41. The camera unit 43 can be fixed on the foreign matter grabbing unit 42, and the grabbing end of the foreign matter grabbing unit 42 is in the camera view of the camera unit. The lighting unit 44 is provided on the camera unit 43 and / or the foreign matter grabbing unit 42 to provide lighting.

[0052] Reference Figure 1 In the first embodiment of the foreign matter grabbing unit 42, the foreign matter grabbing unit 42 includes a dust collection head with an opening, and a dust collection channel is arranged in the outer cylinder 41 and communicates with the dust collection head. The dust collection channel can be connected with a dust collection pipe to suck the foreign matter in the pipeline in a dust collection manner. The foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 with the foreign matter grabbing unit 42 of the first embodiment forms a dust collection tool head.

[0053] To meet the dust collection requirement, the pipeline foreign matter grabbing device further includes an adapter tee joint 50, which can be axially connected in the feeding pipe section 20, thereby dividing the feeding pipe section 20 into two pipe sections, one pipe section is connected between the first interface of the adapter tee joint 50 and the hand controller 10 (the retractable driving mechanism 12), and the other pipe section is connected between the second interface of the adapter tee joint 50 and the bendable pipe section 30. Alternatively, the adapter tee joint 50 is connected between the feeding pipe section 20 and the retractable driving mechanism 12 of the hand controller 10.

[0054] The third interface of the adapter tee joint 50 is used to connect an industrial dust collector, and the dust collection pipe of the industrial dust collector is inserted into the third interface of the adapter tee joint 50 to realize the function of remotely sucking and grabbing foreign matter.

[0055] Reference Figure 4In the second embodiment of the foreign object grabbing unit 42, the foreign object grabbing unit 42 comprises a magnetic attraction member 421, which extends out of the open end of the outer cylinder 41 for attracting foreign objects with ferromagnetic properties. The foreign object grabbing mechanism 40 with the second embodiment of the foreign object grabbing unit 42 forms a magnetic attraction tool head, which is capable of attracting foreign objects with ferromagnetic properties (such as carbon steel bolts) inside the pipeline.

[0056] Referring to Figure 5 In the third embodiment of the foreign object grabbing unit 42, the foreign object grabbing unit 42 comprises a pair of openable and closable clamping jaws 422 and a driving assembly (not shown) for driving the clamping jaws 422 to open and close. The clamping jaws 422 extend out of the open end of the outer cylinder 41 for clamping foreign objects inside the pipeline. The driving assembly can comprise a motor and a plurality of gear stages, which are connected between the motor and the clamping jaws 422. The motor drives the clamping jaws 422 to open and close through the plurality of gear stages, which also functions as a speed reducer. The plurality of gear stages are formed by at least two gears in sequence. The number and diameters of the gears can be determined according to the relative positions of the motor and the clamping jaws 422. The foreign object grabbing mechanism 40 with the third embodiment of the foreign object grabbing unit 42 forms a clamping tool head, which is capable of clamping foreign objects inside the pipeline.

[0057] Referring to Figure 6 In the fourth embodiment of the foreign object grabbing unit 42, the foreign object grabbing unit 42 comprises a retractable sleeve rope 423, which extends out of the open end of the outer cylinder 41 to form a sleeve ring for retrieving foreign objects inside the pipeline. The foreign object grabbing unit 42 further comprises a sleeve rope driving box for controlling the sleeve rope 423 to retract and extend to adjust the inner diameter of the sleeve ring. The sleeve rope driving box further comprises a sleeve rope reel and a sleeve rope driving assembly. The sleeve rope is wound on the sleeve rope reel and fixed at the end face of the sleeve rope driving box to form the sleeve ring. The sleeve rope driving assembly comprises a motor and a plurality of gear stages, which are connected between the motor and the sleeve rope reel. The motor drives the sleeve rope reel to rotate in both directions through the plurality of gear stages to retract and extend the sleeve rope. The foreign object grabbing mechanism 40 with the fourth embodiment of the foreign object grabbing unit 42 forms a sleeve rope tool head, which is capable of retrieving foreign objects inside the pipeline.

[0058] In some embodiments, the foreign object grabbing mechanism 40 of the pipeline foreign object grabbing device can be various types of tool heads, such as a dust suction tool head, a magnetic attraction tool head, a clamping tool head, or a sleeve rope tool head.

[0059] In some embodiments, the pipeline foreign matter grabbing device is configured with multiple foreign matter grabbing mechanisms 40, including a dust suction tool head, a magnetic suction tool head, a clamping tool head, and a rope sleeve tool head. One of the tool heads is selected and installed at the end of the bendable pipe section 30 during use. The various tool heads described above can be replaced and used on the pipeline foreign matter grabbing device. When grabbing foreign matter in the pipeline, the corresponding tool head is replaced according to the type, shape, and specifications of the foreign matter, thereby achieving quick switching of multiple forms of foreign matter grabbing tool heads and reasonable selection according to the form of the foreign matter on site and the pipeline conditions.

[0060] When the foreign matter is in the form of fine and scattered particles, the dust suction tool head is preferably used as the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 to remove the foreign matter in the pipeline by suction. When the foreign matter has ferromagnetic properties, the magnetic suction tool head is used as the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 to remove the foreign matter in the pipeline by adsorption. When the foreign matter is in the form of a long and thin strip, the clamping tool head is used as the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 to remove the foreign matter in the pipeline by clamping. When the foreign matter has a long and thin protrusion or a complex and irregular structure, the rope sleeve tool head is used as the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 to remove the foreign matter in the pipeline by sleeving.

[0061] The adapter tee 50 can be connected in the feeding pipe section 20. When the dust suction tool head is selected as the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40, the adapter tee 50 can be directly used for connecting the dust suction pipe of an industrial dust collector. When the foreign matter grabbing mechanism 40 selects a tool head other than the dust suction tool head, the adapter tee 50 does not affect the use of other tool heads.

[0062] In summary, the pipeline foreign matter grabbing device of the present application can achieve semi-automatic grabbing of foreign matter in the pipeline. The flexible pipe section (bendable pipe section) can smoothly pass through long and thin pipelines and can pass through pipeline connectors such as bends, U-shaped heads, and tees. It can achieve switching and use of multiple forms of tool heads, and reasonable selection according to the form of the foreign matter on site and the pipeline conditions, with good flexibility on site. It meets the demand for removing foreign matter and is more conducive to pipeline operations.

[0063] The above description is only an embodiment of the present application and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process conversion using the content of the specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields is also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
