Although high-pressure gas flushing has a good cleaning effect, the gas pipe is frequently inserted into the heat exchange tube and then pulled out, and this is repeated, which not only has a large workload but also has low efficiency. Moreover, when encountering some large heat exchangers, the cleaning workload is large, and it relies on cleaning one tube at a time, which has high labor intensity and does not meet the actual production work needs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0020] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", "front end", "rear end", "two ends", "one end", "the other end" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present utility model. The terms "installed", "provided with", "connected", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; for ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0021] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, a protective device 2 for protecting the cleaning hose is installed at the rear end of the body 1 of the three-gun cleaning machine to prevent the fresh hose from being bent and tangled and then pulled into the body 1 to cause damage to the hose. Three pipe inlet holes 3 are horizontally opened on the protective device 2 and connected to the inside of the body 1; a pipe rack 4 is fixedly installed at the front end of the body 1, and three front straight guide tubes 5 are arranged and installed on the pipe rack 4 through two groups of fixing blocks 6. The front straight guide tubes 5 are connected to the body 1 and correspond to the pipe inlet holes 3 one by one, so that the cleaning hose can move smoothly back and forth in the body 1, and move smoothly in the heat exchange tube through the alignment and guidance of the front straight guide tubes 5.

[0022] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the driving device 8 mainly includes a driving wheel 11, a driven wheel 12 and a driving belt 13. The driving wheel 11 and the driven wheel 12 are both installed on the middle partition inside the body 1, and the driving wheel 11 is also connected to a motor. The driving belt 13 is mounted on the driving wheel 11 and the driven wheel 12 for rotation; the driving device 8 also includes a base plate 16, on which a tensioning wheel 14 and a row of supporting wheels 15 are installed, and the supporting wheel 15 is located above the tensioning wheel 14, and the tensioning wheel 14 tensions the inner ring of the driving belt 13 from below, and the supporting wheels 15 are horizontally arranged in a row to support the inner ring of the driving belt 13 from above, so that the surface of the driving belt 13 that contacts the cleaning hose remains in a horizontal plane after being pressed down by the clamping device 9, thereby providing sufficient friction to drive the cleaning hose to move forward and backward.

[0023] like Figure 2 , Figure 4As shown, the clamping device 9 mainly includes a cylinder 17, a bracket 18 and a clamping wheel group 21. The cylinder 17 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the top cover of the body 1 by screws. The output end of the cylinder 17 is vertically downward and fixedly connected to the bracket 18. A plurality of rows of clamping wheel groups 21 are installed below the bracket 18 through a wheel axle 20. Each row of clamping wheel groups 21 includes three evenly arranged concave wheels 19. The groove of each concave wheel 19 just clamps the cleaning hose, which has the function of limiting and guiding, thereby ensuring that the cleaning hoses move in parallel without interfering with each other.

[0024] In actual use, first, turn on the tension switch 7 to raise the clamping device 9, then insert the heads of the three cleaning hoses from the pipe inlet hole 3 into the machine body 1 in turn, and then extend them from the front straight guide tube 5 corresponding to the straight line; straighten the three cleaning hoses to keep them parallel to each other, then turn on the tension switch 7 to control the cylinder 17 to press down the bracket 18 and the clamping wheel group 21, and check through the observation hole on the side of the machine body 1 whether each cleaning hose is just stuck by the corresponding concave wheel 19. If deflection is found, the side cover of the machine body 1 should be opened, and the cylinder 17 should be raised again and pressed down after adjusting the position to ensure that each cleaning hose is parallel to each other and is stuck under the concave wheel 19 in the same row. Then start the motor of the drive device 8, control the drive device 8 to rotate forward and reverse, and observe whether the cleaning hose is stretched out and retracted normally. After the test machine is normal, the high-pressure gas source of the cleaning hose can be connected, and the position of the machine body 1 is fixed to perform high-pressure cleaning on the heat exchange tube.
