Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of pipeline surface coating maintenance, and particularly relates to a multifunctional pipeline surface cleaning device and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In a refining and chemical enterprise, as the service life of the coating is prolonged, the coating needs to be maintained, and the surface treatment effect of the maintained coating directly affects the coating quality and service life. When the anticorrosive coating ages to a certain extent, new coating must be implemented, and first, the corrosion products and aged anticorrosive coating need to be removed. At present, the coating maintenance surface treatment method of in-service equipment, pipelines and steel structures in a refining and chemical enterprise mainly adopts manual cleaning and power tool cleaning. The manual cleaning has low working efficiency and poor cleaning effect, and the power tool cleaning has higher efficiency than manual cleaning, but the old coating cannot be completely cleaned, and the cleaning effect is greatly affected by management level, worker technical level and responsibility.

[0003] Most of the existing methods adopt ultrahigh pressure water jet technology. Specifically, when the ultrahigh pressure water jet technology is used for paint and rust removal, the working pressure is high, and the energy in water is finally converted into heat energy, so that the steel plate and water are at a high temperature. After the operation is completed, the surface will quickly dry, so that the flash rust on the surface of the steel plate is within an acceptable range. There are also mechanical treatment methods such as scrapers and brushes, which can achieve good removal effect in a short time

[0004] Chinese patent CN113732922B discloses a surface cleaner applied to high-altitude metal pipelines, which comprises a walking piece, a cleaning piece, a cross rod and a grinding plate.

The middle segment of the vertical shaft is rotatably installed in the inner wall of the cleaning piece. An installation box is fixed to the inner wall of the cleaning piece, and the installation box is internally provided with a paddle plate for driving the vertical shaft to rotate. The paddle plate is fixed on the vertical shaft at equal angles. The surface cleaner applied to high-altitude metal pipelines uses the walking and cleaning structure of the walking piece and the cleaning piece to cooperate with each other, utilizes the operation of a single motor and a gas supply structure, and simultaneously realizes the movement of the cleaner on the pipeline and the rust and dust removal cleaning, without the need for workers to manually move, thereby greatly improving the cleaning efficiency of the outer wall of the pipeline.

[0005] The above patent uses a grinding plate for grinding, but it is only suitable for cleaning pipelines with a single diameter, and the rust slag is removed by airflow during cleaning, so it is difficult to control the removal effect, which may cause the phenomenon of rust returning.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] (1) The telescopic assembly of the present application is provided with a screw rod, a limiting slide rod, a third gear and a toothed rotating wheel, and the arc-shaped cleaning brush is connected with the rotating drum. When the surface of the pipeline needs to be cleaned, the pipeline is placed in the middle of the arc-shaped cleaning brush, the second motor is driven, the second motor drives the driving gear to engage with the toothed rotating wheel, at the same time, the toothed rotating wheel drives the plurality of third gears to rotate, the third gears are threadedly connected with the screw rods, and due to the action of the limiting slide rod, the third gears and the screw rods form a screw rod transmission.

[0040] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention. Furthermore, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] like Figures 1-12 As shown, a multifunctional pipe surface cleaning device includes a frame 100, the upper part of which is a transverse cylindrical shape. A rotating cylinder 200 is coaxially rotatably connected inside the cylindrical body of the frame 100. Multiple arc-shaped cleaning brushes 300 are evenly distributed inside the rotating cylinder 200. The multiple arc-shaped cleaning brushes 300 are evenly distributed along the axis of the rotating cylinder 200, and the arc direction is consistent with the rotating cylinder 200. A telescopic component 400 connects the multiple arc-shaped cleaning brushes 300 to the rotating cylinder 200. One end of the rotating cylinder 200 is a feed inlet 600, and the other end is a discharge outlet 700. A feeding component 500 is installed on the frame 100 located at the feed inlet 600 end.

[0043] The rotary drum 200 is coaxially connected with the frame 100, and the rotary drum 200 can rotate, and when the rotary drum 200 rotates, the plurality of arc-shaped cleaning brushes 300 can be driven to rotate simultaneously. When the device is used to clean the surface of the pipeline, the pipeline is fed from the feeding port 600 end and discharged from the discharging port 700 end, and the feeding assembly 500 is used to feed the pipeline to be cleaned into the middle of the plurality of arc-shaped cleaning brushes 300 for surface cleaning.

[0044] In the embodiment, the telescopic assembly 400 comprises a toothed rotary wheel 420 rotatably connected to the middle of the rotary drum 200, a screw rod 430 and a limiting slide rod 440 mounted on the back of each arc-shaped cleaning brush 300. One end of the screw rod 430 is detachably mounted on the arc-shaped cleaning brush 300, and the other end is screwed with a third gear 450 through the first through hole 230 penetrating the rotary drum 200, and the plurality of third gears 450 are in meshing connection with the toothed rotary wheel 420. One end of the limiting slide rod 440 is fixed on the arc-shaped cleaning brush 300, and the other end is slidingly connected to the rotary drum 200 through the second through hole 240. The toothed rotary wheel 420 is further meshed with a driving gear 490, the driving gear 490 is fixedly connected with the output end of a second motor 480, the rotary drum 200 is fixedly provided with a mounting plate 260, and the second motor 480 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 260.

[0045] A plurality of gear limiting cylinders 460 are uniformly fixed on the outer wall of the rotary drum 200, the gear limiting cylinder 460 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the screw rod 430, one side of the gear limiting cylinder 460 away from the rotary drum 200 is in abutting connection with one side surface of the third gear 450, the other side surface of the third gear 450 is in abutting connection with a gear limiting piece 470, and the gear limiting piece 470 is fixedly connected with the gear limiting cylinder 460.

[0046] A telescopic component 400 is provided between the arc-shaped cleaning brush 300 and the rotating drum 200 to adjust the distance from the arc-shaped cleaning brush 300 to the axis, thereby achieving the function of cleaning pipe surfaces of different diameters. Specifically, one end of the screw 430 is connected to the arc-shaped cleaning brush 300, and the other end is threadedly connected to the third gear 450. The third gear 450 meshes with the toothed rotating wheel 420. When the driving gear 490 drives the toothed rotating wheel 420 to rotate, the third gear 450 is threadedly connected to the screw 430. The setting of the limiting slide bar 440 prevents the screw 430 from rotating. Therefore, a screw drive is formed between the screw 430 and the third gear 450. When the third gear 450 rotates, the screw 430 drives the arc-shaped cleaning brush 300 to move back and forth towards the axis of the rotating drum 200, realizing the function of the arc-shaped cleaning brush 300 to clean the surface of different pipe diameters. Furthermore, the gear limiting cylinder 460 and the gear limiting member 470 are used to limit the third gear 450; the end of the screw 430 away from the arc-shaped cleaning brush 300 is provided with a screw head to prevent the screw 430 from unscrewing out of the third gear 450.

[0047] Furthermore, a battery needs to be installed on the outer wall of the rotating drum 200 to supply power to the second motor 480, so as to prevent the rotating drum 200 from tangling the wires when the second motor 480 is connected to an external power source, which would affect its use.

[0048] In this embodiment, one or more circular support frames 210 are provided on the outer wall of the rotating drum 200, and a rolling bearing 220 is fixed between the outer edge of each circular support frame 210 and the inner wall of the frame 100; a second gear 630 is fixed on the outer wall of the rotating drum 200 located at the discharge port 700 end, the second gear 630 meshes with a first gear 610, the first gear 610 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of a first motor 620, and the first motor 620 is fixed on the frame 100.

[0049] The rotating drum 200 and the frame 100 are rotatably connected by a circular support frame 210 and a rolling bearing 220. Specifically, one or more sets of circular support frames 210 and rolling bearings 220 can be set according to actual needs to ensure the stability between the rotating drum 200 and the frame 100. The first motor 620 drives the first gear 610 to mesh with the second gear 630 fixed on the outer wall of the rotating drum 200, realizing the rotation function of the rotating drum 200 and providing power for the rotation of the arc-shaped cleaning brush 300.

[0050] In this embodiment, the feeding assembly 500 includes a supporting outer cylinder 510 vertically fixed to the outside of the frame 100 cylinder body, a supporting inner cylinder 520 sleeved on the supporting outer cylinder 510, and the supporting inner cylinder 520 and the supporting outer cylinder 510 being telescopically connected; a mounting base 530 is fixed to the top of the supporting inner cylinder 520, and a roller shaft 540 is horizontally rotatably connected to the mounting base 530, the axis of the roller shaft 540 being perpendicular to the axis of the rotating drum 200; a roller 550 is fixed on the roller shaft 540, and one end of the roller shaft 540 is fixedly connected to the output end of a reduction motor 560, the reduction motor 560 being fixed on the mounting base 530.

[0051] The outer support cylinder 510 and the inner support cylinder 520 are connected by a telescopic mechanism, enabling the lifting function of the mounting base 530. The height of the mounting base 530 needs to be adjusted according to the outer diameter of the pipe to be processed, ensuring that the pipe is horizontally aligned with the axis of the rotating drum 200. A roller shaft 540 is horizontally rotatably connected to the mounting base 530, and a roller 550 is fixed on the roller shaft 540. The axis of the roller shaft 540 is perpendicular to the axis of the rotating drum 200. When the reduction motor 560 drives the roller shaft 540 to rotate, it can drive the roller 550 to rotate towards the rotating drum 200, conveying the pipe towards the rotating drum 200, thus achieving the feeding function. Specifically, when setting up the conveying system, the pipe located at one end of the inlet 600 needs to be handheld or positioned for support to prevent rotation and ensure it remains coaxial with the rotating drum 200, preventing pipe deviation or non-horizontal alignment, which would affect operation and processing efficiency.

[0052] It should be noted that the supporting outer cylinder 510 and the supporting inner cylinder 520 can be raised and lowered by sliding and fixed by a pin, or by gear and rack meshing transmission, or other methods. These are all existing technologies and will not be elaborated here.

[0053] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped cleaning brush 300 includes an arc-shaped fixing plate 310. A first brush bristle 320, a second brush bristle 330, and a wiping block 340 are axially fixed on the inner arc of the arc-shaped fixing plate 310 in sequence. The first brush bristle 320 is located at the feed inlet 600 end, and the wiping block 340 is located at the discharge outlet 700 end. The screw 430 and the limiting slide bar 440 are installed on the outer arc of the arc-shaped fixing plate 310.

[0054] Both the first bristle 320 and the second bristle 330 are fixed to the inner arc sidewall of the arc-shaped fixing plate 310 by plugging. The first bristle 320 is a dense steel wire bristle, which can remove the aged anti-corrosion coating and corroded rust from the pipe surface. The second bristle 330 is a silicon carbide abrasive filament bristle, which can perform fine brushing to thoroughly remove impurities from the pipe surface. Finally, the pipe surface is wiped by the wiping block 340 to clean the pipe surface and prevent rust and dust from causing the pipe to rust again. It should be noted that the bristles of the arc-shaped cleaning brush 300 can be selected according to the material as needed for cleaning different pipe surfaces. Furthermore, during use, the feeding speed of the feeding component 500 and the rotation speed of the rotating drum 200 can be controlled to ensure that the pipe surface is thoroughly cleaned.

[0055] In this embodiment, an arc-shaped groove 311 is provided on the arc-shaped fixing plate 310 located at the end of the wiping block 340. Multiple liquid inlet channels 312 are provided at the bottom of the arc-shaped groove 311. The outlet end of the liquid inlet channel 312 is connected to the wiping block 340. The arc-shaped groove 311 is provided with slots 313 on both sides. A rust-preventive liquid bottle 350 is inserted into the arc-shaped groove 311. The rust-preventive liquid bottle 350 is provided with a bottle mouth 352 corresponding to the arc-shaped groove 311. Multiple liquid outlet pipes 353 are provided at the front end of the bottle mouth 352. The liquid outlet pipes 353 are connected to the inlet end of the liquid inlet channel 312. A locking block 354 is provided on both sides of the bottle mouth 352. The locking block 354 is fastened to the slot 313.

[0056] When treating rusted metal pipes, a rust-preventive liquid bottle 350 can be connected to the arc-shaped cleaning brush 300.

[0063] Example 2

[0064] A method for cleaning the surface of a pipe using the apparatus of Embodiment 1 includes the following steps:

[0065] S1: Place one end of the pipe to be treated on the roller 550, adjust the height of the inner support cylinder 520 so that the pipe to be treated is located at the center of multiple arc-shaped cleaning brushes 300, fix the inner support cylinder 520 and the outer support cylinder 510, and position and support the pipe to be treated located outside the device so that the pipe to be treated does not rotate and is always coaxial with the rotating drum 200.

[0066] S2: Adjust the pipe to be treated to move closer to the feed inlet 600, turn on the second motor 480, the second motor 480 drives the drive gear 490 to mesh with the toothed wheel 420. When the toothed wheel 420 rotates along the outer wall of the rotating drum 200, it meshes with multiple third gears 450. At this time, the limit slide rod 440 limits the rotation of the arc-shaped cleaning brush 300, so that when the third gear 450 rotates, the screw 430 drives the arc-shaped cleaning brush 300 to move closer or further away from the axis of the rotating drum 200, thereby adjusting the multiple arc-shaped cleaning brushes 300 to fully contact the surface of the pipe to be treated, and then stop the rotation of the second motor 480.

[0067] S3: Drive the first motor 620, which drives the first gear 610 to mesh with the second gear 630. The second gear 630 drives the rotating drum 200 and multiple arc-shaped cleaning brushes 300 to rotate together. At this time, the arc-shaped cleaning brushes 300 clean the surface of the pipe to be treated. At the same time, drive the reduction motor 560 to drive the roller 550 to rotate towards the feed port 600, gradually moving the pipe to be treated towards the feed port 600. The pipe is coarsely brushed by the first brush bristles 320, then finely brushed by the second brush bristles 330, and finally wiped by the wiping block 340 to remove surface dust. While the wiping block 340 is wiping, the rust-preventive liquid in the rust-preventive liquid bottle 350 enters the wiping block 340 through the liquid inlet channel 312 to apply the rust-preventive liquid to the surface of the pipe for rust prevention. The surface cleaning of the pipe is completed when the entire pipe is discharged from the discharge port 700.

[0068] S4: When cleaning different pipe surfaces, or when the bristles of the arc-shaped cleaning brush 300 are worn, pinch the first button 435 and the second button 433 towards the inside of the fastener 432. The first button 435 and the second button 433 will move closer together, and the spring 434 will be compressed. At this time, pull the screw 430 and the arc-shaped cleaning brush 300 away from each other. The arc-shaped ends of the first button 435 and the second button 433 will slide out of the socket fixing hole 431, and the new arc-shaped cleaning brush 300 can be removed and replaced or used to clean different pipes. During installation, pinch the first button 435 and the second button 433 towards the inside of the fastener 432. The first button 435 and the second button 433 will move closer together, and the spring 434 will be compressed. At this time, fasten the screw 430 and the arc-shaped cleaning brush 300 together. When fastening, the first button 435 and the second button 433 will slide into the socket fixing hole 431 to complete the installation.
