Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline cleaning, in particular to a descaling structure for a ground source heat pump pipeline. Background Art

[0002] The ground source heat pump system is mainly composed of underground circulation pipes, underground reservoirs or wells, indoor and outdoor units, etc. It uses the fact that underground temperature is more stable than air temperature to heat or cool the refrigerant in the indoor and outdoor units in the underground heat exchanger through the circulation pipes, thereby achieving heating or cooling.

[0003] After long-term use, a lot of scale will accumulate on the inner wall of the ground source heat pump pipeline, which not only affects the internal water circulation, but also greatly reduces the heat transfer effect. The traditional descaling method is to pour detergent into the pipeline to decompose the scale and then flush the pipeline with high-pressure water. However, the ground source heat pump pipeline is a serpentine pipe, so more scale will accumulate at the elbow due to precipitation, and the elbow will slow down the water flow rate. Therefore, ordinary water flushing cannot easily remove the stubborn scale accumulated at the elbow. Utility Model Content

Three scrapers 1 distributed in a circular array are installed outside the side wall of the front shell away from the rear shell, and the three scrapers 1 are all located outside the nozzle.

[0010] Furthermore, the hose is L-shaped, and the other end of the hose away from the annular water tank passes through the rear shell, and a water inlet pipe is installed at the bottom end of a side wall of the rear shell away from the front shell, and the hose and the water inlet pipe are connected to each other.

[0036] See also Figure 1 As shown, a descaling structure for a ground source heat pump pipeline is provided, wherein a moving component is installed on the outer arc wall of the front shell body 10, and the moving component includes three compression spring telescopic rods 14 fixedly connected to the outer arc wall of the front shell body 10 and distributed in a circular array, and one end of the three compression spring telescopic rods 14 away from the outer arc wall of the front shell body 10 is fixedly connected to a C-shaped rod 13, and one end of the C-shaped rod 13 away from the compression spring telescopic rod 14 is rotatably connected to a roller 12, and the outer arc wall of the rear shell body 11 is provided with the same number of moving components with the same structure as those on the outer arc wall of the front shell body 10, wherein the three rollers 12 located on the outer arc wall of the front shell body 10 are all deflected at a certain angle toward the direction of the nozzle 15, and the moving component on the outer arc wall of the front shell body 10 enables the device to rotate and move forward at the same time during descaling, can adapt to descaling in curves, and prevent the scraper 22 from hitting the pipe wall and causing unnecessary losses.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] Step 1: First, drain the sewage in the pipe, and then place the device at the pipe mouth. Due to the compression spring telescopic rod 14 in the moving component, it can enter the pipes of different diameters for descaling. After the device enters the pipe, the three electric telescopic rods 30 shrink. At this time, the motor inside the rear shell 11 controls the universal joint 40 to rotate to drive the turntable 25 to rotate. The rotation of the turntable 25 drives the wire 24 to rotate. When the wire 24 rotates, the three fixed blocks 23 can adjust the spacing to control the extension length of the fixed rod 21, that is, the movement trajectory of the scraper 22 when it rotates is controlled and it fits with the inner wall of the pipe.

[0039] Step 2: After the distance adjustment is completed, the three electric telescopic rods 30 are extended. When the universal joint 40 rotates, the telescopic ends of the three electric telescopic rods 30 are inserted into the corresponding slide grooves 2. At this time, the universal joint 40 drives the front shell 10 and the scraping assembly 20 to rotate as a whole. Due to the synchronous rotation of the turntable 25 and the front shell 10, the front shell 10 drives the three fixed blocks 23 to rotate, offsetting the influence of the rotation of the turntable 25 and the wire 24. Therefore, the extended length of the fixed rod 21 will not change, and the cleaning operation can be started at this time.

[0040] Step three: Since the roller 12 of the three movable components on the outer arc wall of the front shell 10 is deflected toward the nozzle 15 by a certain distance, when the front shell 10 rotates, the device is driven forward as a whole under the action of the movable components. The three scrapers 16 on the surface of the front shell 10 can break the obstacles in front to prevent the accumulated dirt from blocking the forward route. When turning a bend, due to the three movable components on the outer arc wall of the front shell 10, the scraper 2 22 will not directly collide with the inner wall of the pipe when moving forward at the bend, thereby avoiding damage to the pipe and equipment. During descaling, water or detergent can be injected into the annular water tank 31 through the water inlet pipe 32 and the hose 33. After the water or detergent flows into the annular water tank 31, it will flow from channel three into channel two and then flow to the nozzle 15. The nozzle 15 will spray the delivered water or detergent to assist the descaling operation.

[0041] Step 4: After descaling is completed, the device is drilled out from the outlet of the pipe, the water pipe is removed from the water inlet pipe 32 and then the water pipe is taken out, and then the inner wall of the pipe is flushed with clean water, and the dirt at the bend can be easily flushed out.
