Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of pipeline cleaning technology, specifically a water-air pulse cleaning system for water supply pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] Over long-term use, water supply pipes gradually accumulate various deposits and dirt on their inner walls. These deposits not only affect the water quality but also reduce the pipe's flow capacity, increase energy consumption, and even cause blockages. Therefore, regular cleaning and maintenance of water supply pipes is essential.

[0003] Traditional water supply pipeline cleaning methods mainly include mechanical cleaning, chemical cleaning, and water-air pulse cleaning. Mechanical cleaning relies on tools such as brushes or scrapers to physically scrape the inner wall of the pipe, achieving good cleaning results, but it is complex, time-consuming, and can easily damage the pipes. Chemical cleaning uses chemical agents to dissolve and remove deposits inside the pipes; it is relatively simple to operate, but the use of chemical agents may pollute the environment and corrode pipe materials.

[0004] Water-air pulse cleaning is a novel pipeline cleaning technology that uses high-pressure water and air pulses generated by a high-pressure water pump and air compressor to efficiently clean the inner walls of pipelines, removing dirt without damaging the pipes. However, traditional water-air pulse cleaning systems still have some drawbacks in practical applications, such as high equipment costs, high energy consumption, and complex operation. Traditional water-air pulse cleaning systems rely on high-pressure water pumps and air compressors to provide high-pressure water and air flow, resulting in high equipment costs and operating energy consumption, increasing the cost burden of cleaning. Furthermore, although water-air pulse technology can effectively remove most of the dirt from the inner walls of pipelines, it is not ideal for cleaning stubborn deposits and hard-to-reach corners, making it difficult to completely remove them.

[0005] To overcome these problems, this invention proposes a water-air pulse cleaning system for water supply pipelines. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Preferably, the steering component includes connector one and connector two, the end of connector one is fixedly connected to the end of the mounting base, the end of connector two is connected to the end of the protector, and a cross coupling is provided between connector one and connector two.

[0015] Preferably, the driving component includes multiple sets of mounting slots, each set of mounting slots being formed on the outer wall of the mounting base. An anti-detachment rod is fixedly connected inside each set of mounting slots. Two springs are sleeved on the outside of each set of anti-detachment rods. One end of each spring is connected to the inside of the mounting slot, and a slider is fixedly connected to the opposite end of each spring. The middle of each slider is slidably connected to the outer wall of the anti-detachment rod. An X-shaped frame is rotatably connected to the top of each set of sliders. A side plate is rotatably connected to one end of the top of each set of X-shaped frames, and a connecting rod is rotatably connected to the other end of the top of each set of X-shaped frames.

[0018] Preferably, the second drive assembly includes a second motor, the second motor being externally fixedly connected to the inside of the protector, a gear being fixedly connected to the drive end of the second motor, a gear ring being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column, and the gear being externally meshed with the gear ring.

[0019] Preferably, the opposite ends of connector one and connector two are arranged vertically.

[0020] Working Principle: When using this equipment to clean the inside of water supply pipes, first connect the connecting shaft to the hose, and then connect the hose to the connector. Next, place the cleaning component inside the water supply pipe. Then, start the equipment. Under the action of the high-pressure water pump and air pump, water and air are separately sent into the mixing device. The mixing device generates strong water-air pulses. The frequency and pressure of the pulses are adjusted by controlling the smoke output. During cleaning, the water-air pulses enter the hose through the connector, are guided by the hose to the connecting shaft, and are sprayed out from multiple nozzles towards the inner wall of the pipe, thus cleaning the inside of the water supply pipe. During cleaning, motor one needs to be started. Driven by motor one, the connecting shaft rotates, which in turn drives pulley one to rotate synchronously. The rotation of pulley one drives the belt, which in turn drives pulley two to rotate. The rotation of pulley two drives the connecting drive wheel to rotate. Because the component is affected by the diameter of the inner wall of the pipe when it enters the pipe, its multiple drive wheels will automatically adapt to the inside of the pipe, and then... The cleaning component moves within the pipe, driven by multiple drive wheels. At pipe bends, the steering mechanism automatically adjusts the bend between the mounting base and the protector, allowing the cleaning component to move from the bend. During this movement, the scraper remains in close contact with the pipe wall, thanks to a damper that ensures constant contact. This pre-scrapes away dirt from the area where the drive wheels will move, ensuring normal operation of the drive wheels. Simultaneously, motor two starts, rotating the gears, which in turn rotate the gear ring, causing the rotating column to rotate. When the cleaning component is in use, the electric push rod pre-drives the angle between the support rod and the rotating column, allowing scraper two to adapt to the pipe's internal diameter and remain in close contact with the pipe wall. As the rotating column rotates, multiple scrapers rotate and scrape inside the pipe, pre-treating stubborn dirt. Simultaneously, water and air pulses are sprayed from nozzles onto the pipe wall for rinsing.

[0021] This invention provides a water-air pulse cleaning system for water supply pipelines. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] 1. This invention solves the problem of the large amount of water and air compressor energy required for the use of water-air pulse cleaning systems by designing a connecting cleaning component on the traditional water-air pulse cleaning system, thereby reducing operating costs.

[0023] 2. This invention features a steering component designed on the cleaning parts to adapt to pipe bends, as well as multiple adjustable components, which makes the device highly flexible and able to turn flexibly within the pipe to adapt to various bends and corners.

[0024] 3. This invention combines components such as the scraper inside the pipe with components such as the nozzle, enabling the device to not only remove stubborn deposits and dirt, but also ensure thorough cleaning of the pipe's inner wall, thus adapting to more complex and challenging pipe cleaning tasks.

[0033] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described 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.

[0034] Example:

[0035] Please see the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 6 This invention provides a water supply pipeline water-air pulse cleaning system, including a steering component. One end of the steering component is provided with a mounting base 1, and a driving component is provided on the outside of the mounting base 1. The other end of the steering component is fixedly connected to a protector 21. The protector 21 is provided with a second driving component inside. A rotating column 22 is rotatably connected inside the protector 21. Multiple mounting slots 23 are opened on the outer wall of the rotating column 22. An electric push rod 24 is rotatably connected inside each mounting slot 23. Multiple support rods 25 are rotatably connected to the outer wall of the rotating column 22. A scraper 28 is rotatably connected to the other end of each support rod 25. A connecting seat 26 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each support rod 25. A connecting block 27 is fixedly connected to the other end of each electric push rod 24. The outer wall of the connecting block 27 is rotatably connected to the middle of the connecting seat 26. A connecting shaft 29 is rotatably connected to the other end of the rotating column 22. Multiple connecting ports on the outer wall of the connecting shaft 29 are connected to nozzles 30. A hose 31 is connected to the other end of the connecting shaft 29. The other end of the hose 31 is connected to a water-air pulse control system.

[0036] Specifically, when the device is placed inside the pipe, the electric push rod 24 will be pre-activated, controlling the angle between the support rod 25 and the rotating column 22. This allows the support rod 25 to control the scraper 28 to fit against the inner wall of the pipe, ensuring that the component can adapt to pipes of different sizes and improving the applicability of the equipment. As the cleaning component moves inside the pipe, the hose 31 introduces water-air pulses into the nozzle 30, which then sprays them towards the inner wall of the pipe, thus performing water-air pulse cleaning. Combined with the scraping and other components, this results in a better cleaning effect on the inner wall of the pipe. Furthermore, this design, compared to traditional methods where water-air pulses are directly connected to the pipe end, reduces the amount of water and air compressor energy required. Traditional water-air pulse cleaning systems connect the mixing device directly to the pipeline via a pipe connector, cleaning by directly injecting water-air pulses into the pipeline. While this method solves the problem of the complexity and difficulty of cleaning the inner walls of pipelines, it is costly. Water supply pipelines are intricate and have a certain length. If water-air pulses are used, the longer the pipeline, the more energy is required to clean the inner walls through water-air pulses. This invention adds a cleaning component that moves inside the pipeline, thereby moving the hose inside the pipeline. Combined with components such as nozzle 30, it enables water-air pulses to achieve good cleaning results even at a greater distance in the pipeline with less energy. In addition, the structure for scraping off dirt further improves the cleaning effect on the inner walls of the pipeline.

[0037] Please see the appendix Figure 7 The water-air pulse control system includes:

[0038] A high-pressure water pump is used to provide the required high-pressure water flow;

[0039] A compressor, used to generate high-pressure air;

[0040] The mixing module, connected to a high-pressure water pump and compressor, is used to mix water and air and generate a pulse effect;

[0041] The control system, which is connected to the mixing module, is used to adjust parameters such as the water-air mixing ratio, pulse frequency, and pressure.

[0042] A connector, which connects to the control system and hose 31, is used to ensure that the mixed liquid and gas can enter hose 31 efficiently.

[0043] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 2 The steering component includes connector 1 2 and connector 2 20. The end of connector 1 2 is fixedly connected to the end of the mounting base 1, and the end of connector 2 20 is connected to the end of the protector 21. A cross coupling 19 is provided between connector 1 2 and connector 2 20.

[0044] Specifically, when using this equipment to clean the inside of the water supply pipe, first connect the connecting shaft 29 to the hose 31, and then connect the hose 31 to the connector. Next, place the cleaning component inside the water supply pipe and start the equipment. Under the action of the high-pressure water pump and air pump, water and air are respectively sent into the mixing device. The mixing device generates a strong water and air pulse. By controlling the smoke, the frequency and pressure of the pulse are adjusted. During cleaning, the water and air pulse enters the inside of the hose 31 through the connector and is guided into the connecting shaft 29 by the hose 31. It is then sprayed out from multiple nozzles 30 toward the inner wall of the pipe, thereby cleaning the inside of the water supply pipe. During the cleaning process, the cleaning component is driven by multiple sets of drive wheels 11 under the control of the first drive assembly to travel along the inner wall of the pipe. When encountering bends or corners, the adjustability of the steering component allows the equipment to rotate flexibly inside the pipe. The ends of connector 1 2 and connector 2 20 are cross-connected in the vertical direction of the cross coupling 19, and each connection point is rotatably connected.

[0045] Please see the appendix Figure 3The driving component includes multiple sets of mounting slots 3, each set of mounting slots 3 being formed on the outer wall of the mounting base 1. An anti-detachment rod 4 is fixedly connected inside each set of mounting slots 3. Two springs 6 are sleeved on the outside of each set of anti-detachment rods 4. One end of each spring 6 is connected to the inside of the mounting slot 3. A slider 5 is fixedly connected to the opposite end of each spring 6. The middle of each slider 5 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the anti-detachment rod 4. An X-shaped frame 7 is rotatably connected to the top of each set of sliders 5. A side plate 8 is rotatably connected to one end of the top of each set of X-shaped frames 7. A connecting rod 10 is rotatably connected to the other end of the top of each set of X-shaped frames 7. A sliding groove 9 is formed in the middle of each set of side plates 8. The outside of each connecting rod 10 is set inside the sliding groove 9. Multiple drive wheels 11 are rotatably connected to the middle of each set of sliding grooves 9. A first drive assembly is provided on the outer wall of each set of sliding grooves 9. A scraping assembly is provided on the outside of each set of sliding grooves 9.

[0046] Specifically, when the cleaning component is placed inside the pipe, its multiple sets of drive wheels 11 will contact the inside of the pipe. Due to the obstruction of the inner wall of the pipe, it will automatically adjust and adapt, thereby controlling each set of X-shaped frames 7 to move crosswise. This reduces the distance between the side plate 8 and the mounting base 1, causing the X-shaped frame 7 to drive the sliders 5 at both ends to move in opposite directions. This, in turn, compresses the springs 6 on both sides, causing them to generate a rebound reaction force, thus ensuring the X-shaped frame 7 returns to its original position. This controls the side plate 8 to drive the drive wheels 11 to press tightly against the inner wall of the pipe, ensuring the normal movement of the cleaning component inside the pipe.

[0047] Please see the appendix Figure 4 The first drive assembly includes a motor 12, the outer wall of which is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the side plate 8. The drive end of the motor 12 is fixedly connected to a connecting shaft 13, and the other end of the connecting shaft 13 is fixedly connected to a pulley 14. A second pulley 15 is fixedly connected to the shaft of one of the drive wheels 11. A belt 16 is sleeved on the outside of the pulley 14 and the second pulley 15.

[0048] Specifically, by starting motor 12, motor 12 drives connecting shaft 13 to rotate, which in turn drives pulley 14 to rotate, causing belt 16 to run, which in turn drives pulley 2 15 to rotate synchronously, thereby controlling the start of one drive wheel 11 to rotate. Through its rotation on the inner wall of the pipe, the other multiple drive wheels 11 rotate synchronously along the inside of the pipe. Thus, under the action of multiple sets of drive wheels 11, the cleaning component moves automatically inside the pipe.

[0049] Please see the appendix Figure 5 The scraping assembly includes a damper 17, one end of which is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the side plate 8, and the other end of the adjacent damper 17 is rotatably connected to a scraper 18, the outer wall of which is rotatably connected to the outer wall of each set of side plates 8.

[0050] Specifically, when the cleaning component is located inside the pipe, its scraper 18 contacts the inner wall of the pipe. Due to the obstruction of the inner wall, it will automatically adjust its angle. Then, with the assistance of the damper 17, it ensures that the scraper 18 is always in contact with the inner wall of the pipe, improving the scraping effect. It pre-scrapes and cleans the dirt at the position where the drive wheel 11 will move, ensuring the normal operation of the drive wheel 11.

[0051] Please see the appendix Figure 6 The second drive assembly includes a second motor 32, which is externally fixedly connected to the inside of the protector 21. A gear 33 is fixedly connected to the drive end of the second motor 32, and a gear ring 34 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating column 22. The gear 33 is externally meshed with the gear ring 34.

[0052] Specifically, during use, by starting motor 2 32, the gear 33 is controlled to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring 34 to rotate, thereby controlling the rotating column 22 to rotate synchronously, so that scraper 28 rotates inside the pipe to scrape away dirt, improving the dirt removal effect.

[0053] The opposite ends of connector 12 and connector 20 are arranged vertically.

[0054] 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.
