[0026] In order to make the above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the following is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0027] The utility model provides a household pipe cleaner, referring to Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, it mainly includes: a handpiece 1, a motor 12, a linear drive 2, and a cleaning rod 22; the linear drive 2 is embedded in the handpiece 1 and is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the handpiece 1.

[0028] The motor housing of the motor 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the handpiece 1 , the motor shaft of the motor 12 passes through the handpiece 1 and is fixedly connected to the fixed end of the linear drive 2 , and one end of the cleaning rod 22 is fixedly connected to the free end of the linear drive 2 .

[0029] The linear actuator 2 is a conventional device in the mechanical field, typically comprising a housing 21 and a retractable internal telescopic rod disposed within the housing 21. The fixed end of the linear actuator 2 is the closed end of the housing 21, while the free end of the linear actuator 2 is the end of the internal telescopic rod that extends outward.

[0030] The top end of the housing 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the motor shaft of the motor 12 , and the bottom end of the internal telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the top end of the cleaning rod 22 .

[0031] The cleaning rod 22 is partially disposed within the extension tube 13 .

[0032] Its working principle is the conventional electric-driven telescopic principle, and the existing technology is mature, so this utility model will not elaborate on it.

[0033] Handles 11 are provided on both sides of the handpiece 1 for the user to grasp.

[0034] The handpiece 1 is sleeved on the outer wall of the linear driver 2 and is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the linear driver 2. An extension tube 13 is also fixedly connected to the bottom of the handpiece 1. Several first springs 7 are provided in the circumferential direction of the extension tube 13. One end of the first spring 7 is fixedly connected to the outer shell of the extension tube 13. The other end of the first spring 7 is fixedly connected to the pulley frame 3. A sliding wheel 8 is provided on the pulley frame 3, and the sliding wheel 8 is rotatably connected to the pulley frame 3.

[0035] A fixed shaft (not shown) is fixedly connected to the pulley frame 3, and the fixed shaft is horizontally arranged. There are two sliding wheels 8, which are symmetrically sleeved on both ends of the fixed shaft and are rotatably connected to the fixed shaft.

[0036] Through the elastic support of the first spring 7, the sliding wheels 8 on both sides can cling to the inner wall of the pipeline after the linear drive 2 enters the pipeline, thereby providing a good guiding effect for the entire cleaner.

[0037] A plurality of second springs 4 are further provided in the circumferential direction of the portion of the cleaning rod 22 located outside the extension tube 13. One end of the second spring 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cleaning rod 22, and the other end of the second spring 4 is fixedly connected to the cleaning frame 53. The cleaning member 6 is fixedly provided on the cleaning frame 53.

[0038] Similar to the principle of the first spring 7, under the action of the second spring 4, the cleaning member 6 is closely attached to the inner wall of the pipeline and can be rotated by the motor 12 to clean the inner wall of the pipeline.

[0039] The first spring 7 and the second spring 4 are both made of hard spring material. When entering the pipeline, they are subjected to compression forces on both sides to undergo elastic deformation, generating elastic force, and using this elastic force to provide supporting force on both sides in the opposite direction.

[0040] A disassembly clamp 5 is also provided on the cleaning frame 53, and the disassembly clamp 5 includes a clamping rod 51 and an elastic rod 52. The elastic rod 52 is fixedly connected to the cleaning frame 53 and is arranged perpendicular to the second spring 4. There are two clamping rods 51 and they are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the elastic rod 52. The opposite sides of the two clamping rods 51 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the elastic rod 52.

[0041] The elastic rod 52 is a telescopic rod with an outer spring. The two ends of the elastic rod 52 are fixedly connected to the vertical rod frame of the cleaning frame 53 and the inner side of the corresponding clamping plate. When the clamping rods 51 on both sides generate compression force inward, the elastic deformation of the spring can be used to generate elastic force. When the compression force of the clamping rods 51 on both sides is removed, the spring elastic force will generate supporting force on the clamping rods 51 on both sides.

[0042] The side of the disassembly clamp 5 close to the linear drive 2 is the inner side, and the inner walls of the two clamping rods 51 are respectively tightly fitted with the outer walls of the two sides of the cleaning member 6. That is, when the elastic rod 52 is in a normal state, the two clamping rods 51 are tightly fitted to the cleaning member 6.

[0043] When the cleaning member 6 needs to be disassembled, the user only needs to squeeze the outer side of the other end of the clamping rod 51, compress the elastic rod 52, and separate the ends of the cleaning member 6 held by the clamping rod 51 from each other, so that the cleaning member 6 can be removed and rinsed, replaced, etc.

[0044] Similarly, the cleaning member 6 can be clamped. When the external squeezing force is removed, the ends of the clamping rods 6 away from the cleaning rod 22 will move closer to each other under the elastic force of the elastic rods 52 to clamp the cleaning member 6.

[0045] The cleaning member 6 in the present application is made of rubber, sponge, steel wire or other materials with cleaning and scrubbing functions such as cotton cloth, that is, the cleaning member 6 is the most common scrubbing tool in the prior art. Those skilled in the art and users can replace it according to needs, and the present invention will not elaborate on it here.

[0046] The number of first springs 7, second springs 4, and their corresponding pulley frames 3, cleaning frames 53, and related technical features are determined according to the specifications of the respective manufacturers and are not limited by the present invention. The specific arrangement of the first springs 7, second springs 4, and their corresponding pulley frames 3, cleaning frames 53, and related technical features is also known from the prior art. To ensure the best cleaning effect, a spiral or cross arrangement is preferred and will not be described in detail in the present invention.

[0047] The handle 11 or handpiece 1 of the device can be provided with a corresponding drive on / off switch to drive the motor 12 and the linear drive 2. The driving principle and connection method thereof are already mature in the prior art and are not the main technical features improved by the present invention, so the present invention will not elaborate on them here.

[0048] The working process of this utility model is:

[0049] Before use, the user secures the cleaning member 6 to the cleaning frame 53 via the clamping rod 51. The user then grasps the handle 11 and, guided by the sliding wheel 8, inserts the linear actuator 2 and the cleaning rod 22 into the pipe to be cleaned. The user then activates the linear actuator 2, inserts the cleaning rod 22 into the pipe, and activates the motor 12, which drives the linear actuator 2 to rotate, causing the linear actuator 2 and the cleaning rod 22 to rotate together, allowing the cleaning member 6 to clean the inner wall of the pipe.

[0050] In order to further ensure the cleaning effect, the cleaning member 6 can be disassembled and immersed in water or a cleaning agent, etc. This is a conventional usage method and will not be described in detail in the present invention.

[0051] As for other technical features not disclosed in the present invention, such as how to supplement the power source of the present invention, whether to plug it in or replace the built-in battery, and the direction and arrangement of the linear connection lines, etc., the existing technology is mature, and those skilled in the art can make routine changes according to needs. Moreover, these are not the main technical features improved by the present invention, nor are they the necessary technical features to solve the problems solved by the present invention. Therefore, the present invention does not limit or elaborate on this, which does not mean that the disclosure of the present invention is insufficient.

[0052] The above detailed description is a specific description of a feasible embodiment of the present invention, but the embodiment is not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent implementation or modification that does not depart from the technical spirit of the present invention should be included in the patent scope of this application.
