Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to equipment for unblocking pipeline systems, and more specifically, to a pipeline unblocker. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, thermometers, pressure gauges, and flow meters, as key control components of pipeline systems, are widely used in media transportation and process control in fields such as petroleum, chemical, power, and pharmaceutical. However, because the media often contain solid impurities, crystals, or polymer deposits, the pressure tapping pipes and venting / draining pipes of these instruments are highly susceptible to blockage due to these impurities, crystals, or polymer deposits. Such blockages not only lead to abnormal media flow and pressure fluctuations but may also cause system shutdowns, equipment damage, and even safety accidents. Currently, the mainstream solution for blockages still relies on traditional pressure shutdown and disassembly unblocking processes, but this method has significant technical drawbacks and economic constraints.

[0003] Therefore, a new type of pipe cleaner needs to be designed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a pipe dredging device that can perform pressurized operation, replacing manual dredging of the medium inside the pipe system, which not only improves dredging efficiency but also ensures the health and safety of workers.

In addition, "outer surface" and "inner surface" are defined based on the direction in which the corresponding components such as the unblocking housing 1 are used. Specifically, in the accompanying drawings provided by this invention, the orientations or positional relationships used are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the drawings. They are only used to facilitate the description of this invention and to simplify the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention. The directional terms of this invention should be understood in conjunction with the actual installation state.

[0023] See Figures 1 to 6 This invention provides a pipe cleaner, including a cleaning housing 1, a cleaning mechanism 2, and a pressure relief mechanism 3. A cleaning cover 11 is disposed on top of the cleaning housing 1, and a cleaning partition 12 is disposed inside the cleaning housing 1. The inner surface of the cleaning housing 1, the lower surface of the cover 1, and the upper surface of the partition 1 together form a first sealing cavity 13. The inner surface of the cleaning housing 1 and the lower surface of the cleaning partition 12 together form a cleaning cavity 14. The cleaning mechanism 2 passes through the cleaning cover 11 and the cleaning partition 12 sequentially, and rotates with both the cleaning cover 11 and the cleaning partition 12. The cleaning mechanism 2 can reciprocate along the penetration direction. The pressure relief mechanism 3 is connected to the cleaning cavity 14 via a connecting pipe 31. In this pipe cleaner, the cleaning housing 1 serves as the main structural component of the entire device and can be connected to the parts of the pipe system that need to be dredged. The penetrating direction of the cleaning mechanism 2 is perpendicular to the axis of the pipe system. During the reciprocating motion, it can break up or dredge the medium blocking the pipe system. The pressure relief mechanism 3 can relieve the pressure inside the cleaning housing 1 to prevent excessive pressure from causing the cleaning mechanism 2 to malfunction.

[0024] It is understood that, as some specific embodiments of the present invention, "the inner surface of the unblocking housing 1" in the above technical solution refers to the working surface of the unblocking housing 1 facing the partition, wherein, as... Figure 1 As shown, the unblocking housing 1 is a cylindrical tubular structure, and the inner surface refers to the inner circumferential surface of the tubular structure; the "lower surface of the unblocking cover 11" refers to the working surface of the unblocking cover 11 facing the unblocking baffle 12; the "upper surface of the unblocking baffle 12" refers to the working surface of the unblocking baffle 12 facing the unblocking cover 11; the "lower surface of the unblocking baffle 12" refers to the working surface of the unblocking baffle 12 facing away from the unblocking cover 11; the "penetration direction" refers to the line of defense perpendicular to the axis of the piping system. Meanwhile, the installation method of the unblocking cover 11 and the unblocking housing 1 is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the edge of the unclogging cover 11 can be fixedly connected to the upper edge of the unclogging housing 1 by fasteners such as bolts.

[0025] It should be noted that in existing pipeline systems, once a media blockage occurs, the pipeline system needs to be depressurized and disassembled to perform complex procedures such as system depressurization, pipeline isolation, valve disassembly and assembly, manual unblocking, and system reset. Each handling requires coordination among multiple departments, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, increasing the operating cost of the pipeline system. Furthermore, frequent shutdowns accelerate the secondary deposition of media within the pipeline, creating a vicious cycle. The pipeline unblocking device provided by this invention can be installed on the pipeline system as a standalone component. Through the reciprocating insertion and removal motion of the unblocking mechanism 2 along the through-flow direction, it can break up or unblock the media inside the pipeline, allowing the media to flow and thus achieving the effect of unblocking the pipeline media. During this process, the pipeline system does not need to be shut down. Because this application can be used as an independent component outside the pipeline system, and because the pipeline system does not need to be shut down or disassembled during pipeline unblocking, the possibility of mechanical stress damage to precision components such as valve stems and valve cores in the pipeline system is significantly reduced, further extending the service life of the pipeline system and reducing operating costs. Meanwhile, although the pipe cleaner provided by this invention is a component independent of the pipe system, it is closely connected to the pipe system during use. Therefore, during the cleaning process, it eliminates the possibility of leakage of contaminated media after disassembling the pipe system, ensuring the safety of the surrounding environment. In addition, this invention also includes a pressure relief mechanism 3. As a result, the pipe system does not need to be depressurized and disassembled during media cleaning, which not only reduces downtime but also ensures pressure balance in the pipe system.

[0026] The pipe cleaner provided by this invention has a simple structure. It only needs to be installed in sections of the pipe system prone to blockage, without requiring excessive modifications to the pipe system itself. It has a wide range of applications and high cleaning efficiency. Furthermore, this invention also incorporates a cleaning baffle 12 and a first sealing cavity 13 to prevent the cleaning mechanism 2 from carrying the medium out of the cleaner during the cleaning process. The cleaning baffle 12 can intercept these media.

[0027] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As a specific embodiment of the present invention, the unblocking mechanism 2 includes an unblocking rod 21 and an unblocking component 22 disposed at the end of the unblocking rod 21. The unblocking component 22 is disposed at the end of the unblocking rod 21 away from the unblocking cover plate 11, and can crush and unblock the medium inside the pipe system. The unblocking rod 21 is connected to the unblocking cover plate 11 and the unblocking partition plate 12 by a thread. A handle 18 is provided at the end of the unblocking rod 21 away from the unblocking component 21. When unblocking work is required, the worker applies a rotational force to the unblocking rod 21 through the handle 18, causing the unblocking rod 21 to rotate around its own axis and then move along the through direction to unblock the medium inside the pipe. By rotating in both the forward and reverse directions, the unblocking rod 21 reciprocates along the through direction to achieve a better unblocking effect. During this process, the worker will not directly contact the medium inside the pipe, and the worker's personal safety is well guaranteed.

[0028] Further, see Figure 3 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the unblocking component 22 includes a drill bit 221 and a mounting component 222. A first groove structure 211 is formed at one end of the unblocking rod 21 on which the unblocking component 22 is mounted. A protruding structure 223 matching the first groove structure 211 is formed on the drill bit 221. Corresponding mounting holes are formed on both the first groove structure 211 and the protruding structure 223. The protruding structure is inserted into the first groove structure 211, and then the mounting component 222 is inserted into the mounting hole to achieve a fixed installation of the drill bit 221 and the unblocking rod 21. In another specific embodiment, the drill bit 221 can be a conical structure with a groove structure formed on its outer circumference. The tip of the conical structure faces the inside of the pipe, concentrating pressure during unblocking to achieve a better unblocking effect.

[0029] In addition, as some specific embodiments of the present invention, a guide member 16 is also provided on the unblocking cover plate 11. The unblocking rod 21 is threadedly connected to the guide member 16. The guide member 16 can ensure that the direction of the unblocking rod 21 will not deviate during the movement process, and also enhance the connection strength between the unblocking rod 21 and the unblocking cover plate 11.

[0030] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The pressure relief mechanism 3 of this invention includes a pressure relief housing 32, a pressure relief cover plate 34 on top of the pressure relief housing 32, and a pressure relief cavity 321 formed by the inner surface of the pressure relief housing 32 and the lower surface of the pressure relief cover plate 34. A sealing component 33 is movably installed inside the pressure relief cavity 321, and a pressure relief hole 322 is formed on the pressure relief housing 32. The connecting pipe 31, the pressure relief cavity 321, and the pressure relief hole 322 are connected to form a pressure relief channel. The sealing component 33 can control the opening and closing of the pressure relief channel. During the unblocking operation, the pressure in the unblocking device will affect the pressure inside the pipeline system, and the pressure medium inside the pipeline will leak out. Therefore, in order to ensure the pressure balance inside the pipeline system and to treat the pressure medium, a pressure relief mechanism 3 is set outside the unblocking housing 1. The pressure relief mechanism can enter the pressure relief cavity 321 through the connecting pipe 31 and be discharged through the pressure relief hole 322. The operator only needs to use a collection device to collect the pressure medium discharged from the pressure relief hole 322. In order to ensure the pressure balance inside the pipeline, the staff can control whether the sealing component 33 seals the pressure relief channel or partially seals the pressure relief channel according to the pressure inside the pipeline.

[0031] Specifically, the sealing assembly 33 includes a sealing element 331 and a pull rod 332. The pull rod 332 passes through the pressure relief cover plate 34. The sealing element 331 is located inside the pressure relief chamber 321 and is installed at the lower end of the pull rod 332. A reset element 333 is provided between the sealing element 331 and the pressure relief chamber 321. The reset element 333 is adapted to provide an elastic force to the sealing element 331 to block the pressure relief channel.

[0032] It should be noted that when the staff notices the need for pressure relief, they pull the lever 332. Under the action of the lever 332, the sealing element 331 releases the blockage of the pressure relief channel, and pressure relief begins after the channel is clear. The function of the reset element 333 is to ensure that the sealing element 331 always blocks the pressure relief channel when pressure relief is not required, preventing the outflow of pressure medium or affecting the pressure balance inside the pipeline. As a preferred embodiment of the reset element 333, the reset element 333 can be an elastic element, i.e., a spring. When pressure relief is not in progress, both ends of the elastic element abut against the pressure relief cover plate 34 and the sealing element 331, respectively, applying elastic pressure to the sealing element 331 so that it always blocks the pressure relief channel.

[0033] To ensure the sealing performance of the pipe cleaner provided by this invention, a second groove structure is formed on the working surface of the cleaning housing 1 facing the pressure relief mechanism 3. The second groove structure, together with the outer surface of the connecting pipe 31 and the outer surface of the pressure relief mechanism 3, forms a second sealing cavity 4. A sealing ring 41 is provided inside the second sealing cavity 4 and is fitted onto the connecting pipe 31. The sealing ring 41 can improve the installation sealing performance between the connecting pipe 31, the pressure relief mechanism 3, and the cleaning housing 1.

[0034] In addition, in order to prevent the medium from splashing out during the pressurized operation, a sealing element 15 is also provided in the first sealing cavity 13. The sealing element 15 can fill the entire first sealing cavity 13, blocking the medium that follows the movement of the unblocking rod 21, and preventing the medium from being carried out of the unblocker by the unblocking rod 21.

[0035] Furthermore, in order to better unclog the inside of the pipeline system, the lower edge of the unclogging shell 1 of the unclogging device provided in this application is formed with a mounting skirt 17. The unclogging device provided in this invention can be detachably installed on the outer flange of the root valve in the pipeline system through the mounting skirt 17. Detachable installation can facilitate further cleaning of the unclogging device after unclogging work, and installation on the outer flange can minimize the modification and impact on the structure of the pipeline system. The pipe unclogging device provided by this invention has a simple structure. Taking the unclogging of the root of a gas medium pressure measuring instrument as an example, in use, the unclogging device can be installed on the outer flange of the root valve of the pipeline system using bolts or other mounting parts 222. The existing valve on the root pipeline is opened, and then the handle 18 is turned, causing the unclogging rod 21 to rotate around its own axis. With the threaded engagement, the unclogging rod 21 can drill into the root valve pipeline along the penetration direction while rotating. By repeatedly turning the handle 18, the unclogging rod 21 repeatedly exits and re-enters the root valve pipeline, utilizing... The root valve pipeline is cleared using the drill bit 221 on the clearing rod 21. After clearing, the root valve is closed, and then the pull rod 332 is pulled, causing the sealing element 331 to move upward and compressing the spring, which acts as an elastic element. This connects the pressure relief channel formed by the connecting pipe 31, the pressure relief chamber 321, and the pressure relief hole 322. The pressure medium between the clearing chamber 14 and the root valve enters the pressure relief chamber 321 through the connecting pipe 31 and then exits through the pressure relief hole 322, thus achieving pressure relief. The sealing element 15 in the first sealing chamber 13 is used to prevent the pressure medium from leaking out. After clearing, the pipe clearing tool can be removed for cleaning for future use. The pipe clearing tool provided by this invention can safely and efficiently remove blockages under pressure, avoiding the risks of secondary accumulation and splashing caused by pressure stoppage disassembly or pressure release in traditional methods. It can achieve pressurized operation without pressure stoppage disassembly, reducing downtime. By incorporating anti-splash designs such as the sealing element 15 and the unblocking baffle 12, backflow of impurities is prevented, enhancing safety. This achieves efficient unblocking of obstructing media. The mechanical feed of the unblocking rod 21, combined with rotational force and the drill bit 221, makes it suitable for hard or sticky blockages.
