[0002] Pipe cleaning is a common operation to remove accumulated liquid or impurities in oil and gas gathering and transportation pipelines to improve pipeline operation efficiency. The pipe cleaner mainly relies on the rear-end airflow to drive it to operate in the pipeline.

[0003] However, since the pipe cleaner is prone to deformation or damage during use, there is a large difference between the diameter of the pipe cleaner and the diameter of the pipeline. After the pipe cleaning operation is completed, there is a certain distance between the actual position reached by the pipe cleaner and the predetermined position, making it difficult to remove the pipe cleaner. Currently, the method of increasing the gas flow rate is often used to push the pipe cleaner to the predetermined position, which poses a great safety hazard.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a technical solution to solve the technical problem that a deformed or damaged pipe cleaner is difficult to remove from a pipeline. Utility Model Content
