Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a pipe cleaning brush with a variable diameter, belonging to the technical field of pipe cleaning. Background Art

[0002] In order to be suitable for cleaning pipes with different inner diameters, variable-diameter cleaning brushes are increasingly used. The variable-diameter cleaning brush includes a barrel for installation on the output shaft of a driving motor, and a plurality of arc-shaped brushes arranged in a ring and equidistantly arranged on the outside of the barrel, wherein a connector with adjustable length is installed between the barrel and the brush. To facilitate the replacement of the brush, one of the commonly used connection methods is to connect the brush and the connector with connecting screws. Because the brush rotates at high speed when cleaning the inner wall of the pipe, in order to ensure the connection stability between the connector and the brush, the surface area of ​​the contact part between the connector and the brush needs to be larger so as to install at least two connecting screws. On the one hand, this method increases the overall size of the connector, and on the other hand, multiple connecting screws are used to connect the brush and the connector. When the brush is replaced later, the number of connecting screws that are difficult to remove smoothly due to moisture and rust increases. Therefore, it is necessary to design a variable-diameter pipe cleaning brush that reduces the use of connecting screws. Utility Model Content

[0005] Furthermore, the connector includes a rectangular tube, and three rectangular tubes are installed in a circular shape and at equal intervals on the outer surface of one end of the cylinder close to the brush, and the rectangular tubes are arranged along the radial direction of the cylinder, and the end of the rectangular tube away from the cylinder is connected and fixed with an end cover, and a guide hole is opened in the middle of one side of the end cover, and a connecting rod is inserted in the guide hole, and one end of the connecting rod in the rectangular tube is connected and fixed with a rectangular block, and the rectangular block is slidably installed in the rectangular tube, and a spring is provided between the rectangular block and the end cover, and the spring is sleeved on the connecting rod, and a through hole is opened at the position where the brush contacts the connecting rod, and a connecting screw threadedly connected to the connecting rod is inserted in the through hole, and a connector is installed between the connecting rod and the brush.

[0006] Furthermore, the connector includes an L-shaped rod, and one end of the connecting rod outside the rectangular tube is connected and fixed with two symmetrically arranged L-shaped rods. The inner surface of the brush is provided with two positioning holes that match the L-shaped rods, and the end of the L-shaped rod away from the connecting rod is inserted into the positioning hole.

[0007] The cam is provided with a plurality of second screw holes at the middle position of the outer surface of the shaft, and a plurality of second screw holes are provided at the middle position of the outer surface of the shaft, and a plurality of second screw holes are provided at the inner surface of the shaft, and a plurality of second screw holes are provided at the inner surface of the shaft, and a plurality of second screw holes are provided at the middle position of the outer surface of the shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, a middle portion of one side of the inner surface of the brush is recessed to form a strip groove, one end of the support plate is installed in the strip groove, and a side of the support plate away from the brush is an arc surface.

[0010] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0011] 1. The two L-shaped rods on the connecting rod are respectively inserted into the corresponding positioning holes on the inner surface of the brush, and then the L-shaped rod and the positioning hole cooperate with each other, which increases the connection range between the connecting rod and the brush. At this time, the connecting screw is passed through the through hole and connected to the connecting rod thread, so that the brush and the connecting rod can be connected with one connecting screw, and the connection stability between the connecting rod and the brush is guaranteed while reducing the use of connecting screws.

A spring 18 is arranged between the rectangular block 19 and the end cover 15, and the spring 18 is sleeved on the connecting rod 6. A through hole 22 is opened at the contact position between the brush 2 and the connecting rod 6, and a connecting screw 4 threadedly connected to the connecting rod 6 is inserted in the through hole 22. Two symmetrically arranged L-shaped rods 7 are connected and fixed to the end of the connecting rod 6 on the outside of the rectangular tube 5, and two positioning holes 25 matching the L-shaped rod 7 are opened on the inner surface of the brush 2. The L-shaped rod 7 The end away from the connecting rod 6 is inserted into the positioning hole 25, and two L-shaped rods 7 are installed at the end of the connecting rod 6 close to the brush 2. When the connecting rod 6 and the brush 2 are connected by the connecting screw 4, the two L-shaped rods 7 on the connecting rod 6 are respectively inserted into the corresponding positioning holes 25 on the inner surface of the brush 2, and then the L-shaped rod 7 and the positioning hole 25 cooperate with each other, thereby increasing the connection range between the connecting rod 6 and the brush 2.

[0024] See also Figure 2 and Figure 5 A support plate 13 arranged along the radial direction of the barrel 1 is installed on the inner surface of the brush 2, wherein the middle position of one side of the inner surface of the brush 2 is recessed to form a strip groove 21, and the side of the support plate 13 away from the brush 2 is an arc surface. The design of the arc surface facilitates the movement of the support plate 13 and the arc head 14, so that one end of the support plate 13 is installed in the strip groove 21, thereby increasing the connection range between the support plate 13 and the brush 2.

A plurality of first screw holes 16 aligned with the blind holes 20 are provided in the middle position of the outer surface of the cylinder 1. A positioning screw 3 is connected to the inner thread of the first screw hole 16, so that one end of the positioning screw 3 extends into the blind hole 20, thereby limiting the swivel 23 in the cylinder 1. When the disc 11 is rotated, the disc 11 drives the two limit rings 24 to rotate, and the two limit rings 24 cooperate with the swivel 23 to achieve that the position of the shaft 26 in the cylinder 1 remains unchanged, that is, the relative position of the disc 11 and the cylinder 1 is limited.
