[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Please see Figures 1-12 The present invention provides a technical solution: A spraying device for the inner wall of large-diameter steel pipe piles, as shown in the instruction manual. Figure 1 As shown, it includes: The mobile trolley 1 is attached to the inner wall of the steel pipe pile by a magnetic attachment component. The mobile trolley 1 is used to drive other components of the large-diameter steel pipe pile inner wall spraying equipment to move along the axial direction of the steel pipe pile. The mobile trolley 1 is equipped with a paint tank 2, which is used to store the paint (or cleaning agent) for spraying. The drive assembly is used to drive the mobile trolley 1 to move along the axial direction of the steel pipe pile; The spraying assembly includes a rotating mechanism, a lifting mechanism, a conveying pipe 3, an extension pipe 4, a paint nozzle 5, and a pumping mechanism. The rotating mechanism drives the conveying pipe 3 to rotate. In this embodiment, the conveying pipe 3 is located on the rear side of the moving trolley 1 (i.e., the side opposite to the moving direction of the moving trolley 1). The lifting mechanism is used to adjust the height of the conveying pipe 3. The conveying pipe 3 is used to convey liquid. Extension pipes 4 are connected to both sides of the conveying pipe 3. The length of the extension pipe 4 can be adjusted according to the inner diameter of the steel pipe pile to ensure that steel pipe piles of different diameters can be sprayed. The extension pipe 4 is connected to the paint nozzle 5, which is a high-pressure atomizing nozzle. The pumping mechanism is used to convey the liquid in the paint tank 2 to the conveying pipe 3. The anti-splash assembly includes an airflow delivery mechanism and an air curtain mechanism. The airflow delivery mechanism is used to deliver air to the air curtain mechanism, and the air curtain mechanism is used to form an air curtain on one side of the moving trolley 1, thereby preventing paint from splashing onto the inner wall of the already sprayed steel pipe pile. The cleaning component includes a switching mechanism and a mixing mechanism. During cleaning, the paint tank 2 is filled with cleaning fluid. The switching mechanism is used to connect the air delivery mechanism and the mixing mechanism when cleaning is required. The mixing mechanism is used to atomize the cleaning fluid inside the delivery pipe 3.

[0019] The mobile trolley 1 is equipped with moving wheels 6, which are used to drive the mobile trolley 1 to move. The driving component includes a drive motor 7, which is a servo motor. The drive motor 7 is used to drive the moving wheels 6 on one side of the mobile trolley 1 to rotate. The magnetic attraction component includes a magnetic block 8, which is coaxially connected to the moving wheels 6. In this embodiment, the magnetic block 8 is an electromagnet, and the attraction force can be adjusted by adjusting the magnitude of the current.

[0020] The lifting mechanism includes a hydraulic lifting platform 9, which drives a rotary motor 10 and a rotary gear 11 to lift and lower. A rubber sleeve is provided on the outside of the hydraulic lifting platform 9 to protect it. The hydraulic lifting platform 9 is mounted on the moving trolley 1. The rotating mechanism includes a rotary motor 10 and a rotary gear 11. The rotary motor 10 is mounted on the hydraulic lifting platform 9 and drives the rotary gear 11 to rotate. The rotary motor 10 is a servo motor, which can precisely control its rotation speed and rotation angle. The output end of the rotary motor 10 is connected to the rotary gear 11. A transmission gear is fixedly connected to the conveying pipe 3. The transmission gear meshes with the rotary gear 11.

[0021] The input end of the delivery pipe 3 is connected to a quick connector 12. The quick connector 12 is connected to the quick connector 12 through a retractable pipe. The pumping mechanism includes a piston pump 13. The output end of the piston pump 13 is connected to the delivery pipe 3 through the quick connector 12. The piston pump 13 is used to deliver the liquid in the paint tank 2 to the delivery pipe 3.

[0022] The airflow delivery mechanism includes an air pump 14, an air pipe 15, a slider 16, and an electromagnetic opening valve 17. The air pump 14 is a vane pump that can provide continuous and stable airflow and can quickly form an umbrella-shaped air curtain during use. The air pump 14 is installed in the delivery pipe 3, and the output end of the air pump 14 is connected to the air pipe 15. The air pipe 15 is a flexible hose that can be bent to adapt to adjustment. The air pipe 15 is connected to the electromagnetic opening valve 17, which is connected to the slider 16. During use, the air pump 14 delivers airflow to the air nozzle 20. The air nozzle 20 sprays airflow around and forms an umbrella-shaped air curtain inside the steel pipe pile, thereby preventing paint from splashing onto the already sprayed area during spraying and ensuring the quality of spraying.

[0023] The air curtain mechanism includes a connector 18, a pressure opening valve 19, and an air nozzle 20. One side of the connector 18 is fixedly connected to the delivery pipe 3, and the pressure opening valve 19 and the air nozzle 20 are respectively connected to both sides of the connector 18. The pressure opening valve 19 and the air nozzle 20 are connected to each other through a pipe. When the slider 16 and the connector 18 are docked, the electromagnetic opening valve 17 will press against the pressure opening valve 19 and open it. At this time, the air nozzle 20 and the air pipe 15 are connected to each other.

[0024] The mixing mechanism includes a mixing block 21, a connecting valve 22, and a pressure relief valve 23. The switching mechanism includes a switching push rod 24, a docking opening valve one 25, and a docking opening valve two 26. The mixing block 21 is disposed inside the conveying pipe 3 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the conveying pipe 3. The mixing block 21 is provided with a mixing chamber 2101 and an airflow inlet 2102. The mixing chamber 2101 has two outlets, which are respectively connected to the connecting valve 22 and the pressure relief valve 23. The airflow inlet 2102 is connected to the docking opening valve one 25. A slider 16... Connected to the second docking valve 26, the switching push rod 24 is used to drive the slider 16 to move. When the first docking valve 25 and the second docking valve 26 are docked together, the air inlet 2102 and the air pipe 15 are connected to each other. The valve that can be opened by docking is existing technology. The specific model can be purchased according to the actual situation. For the sake of demonstration, the connecting threads of valves such as the connecting valve 22, the pressure relief valve 23, the first docking valve 25 and the second docking valve 26 are not shown in the attached drawings of the instruction manual. This is hereby noted.

[0025] There are two extension pipes 4, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveying pipe 3.

[0026] Working principle: Before use, the height of the conveying pipe 3 is adjusted by the hydraulic lifting platform 9 according to the height of the pipe pile. Then, the extension pipe 4 is reasonably selected according to the inner diameter of the pipe pile. During spraying, the moving trolley 1 is controlled to move along the axial direction of the steel pipe pile. While moving, the rotary motor 10 drives the delivery pipe 3 to rotate (thereby driving the paint nozzle 5 to move in a circle). At the same time as rotating, the piston pump 13 pumps the paint into the delivery pipe 3. At this time, since it is in the spraying state, the connecting valve 22 is opened, and the paint can directly pass through the mixing chamber 2101 and enter the extension pipe 4, and spray the inner wall of the pipe pile through the paint spraying.

[0027] When in cleaning mode, cleaning fluid is poured into paint tank 2, and connecting valve 22 is closed. Switching push rod 24 is activated, which drives slider 16 to move along the axial direction of delivery pipe 3, causing docking opening valve one 25 and docking opening valve two 26 to dock with each other. When docking opening valve one 25 and docking opening valve two 26 are docked, air inlet 2102 and air pipe 15 are connected to each other. Then, cleaning agent is delivered into delivery pipe 3 through piston pump 13. The cleaning agent and the input air will mix in mixing chamber 2101 and form a large amount of foam. When the pressure in mixing chamber 2101 reaches the set value of pressure relief valve 23, pressure relief valve 23 will open. At this time, the foamed cleaning agent will clean the inner wall of extension pipe 4 and paint nozzle 5.

[0028] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
