[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present invention provides a technical solution:
[0023] A natural gas outer surface cleaning device includes a natural gas pipeline 1 for transporting natural gas. A first cleaning frame 2 with a recessed front side is provided outside the natural gas pipeline 1. A second cleaning frame 3 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the first cleaning frame 2. A first fixing block 4 is fixedly connected to the front side of the second cleaning frame 3. An electric lifting rod 9 is fixedly connected to the front side of the first fixing block 4. A universal wheel 10 for easy movement is provided at the bottom of the electric lifting rod 9. A second fixing block 5 is fixedly connected behind the electric lifting rod 9. A slider 6 is slidably connected inside the second fixing block 5. A spring 7 is provided on one side of the slider 6. A water tank 11 is provided behind the electric lifting rod 9. A water pump 12 for pumping water is provided behind the water tank 11. One end of the water pump 12 is connected to a hose 13. Threaded blocks 14 are fixedly connected to the top of the first cleaning frame 2 and the bottom of the second cleaning frame 3. Brush bodies 16 composed of brush plates and brush bodies are fitted to the arc-shaped recesses of the first cleaning frame 2 and the second cleaning frame 3. Through holes 15 are formed in the brush plates of the first cleaning frame 2, the second cleaning frame 3, and the brush body 16. By providing a movable and openable cleaning device outside the natural gas pipeline 1, it is convenient to effectively clean the dust on the outer surface of the natural gas pipeline 1.
[0024] The inner walls of the first cleaning frame 2 and the second cleaning frame 3 are both arc-shaped. Magnetic strips 19 are provided inside the first cleaning frame 2 and the second cleaning frame 3, which is convenient for the brush body 16 to fit with the natural gas pipeline 1 and for the fixation of the first cleaning frame 2 and the second cleaning frame 3. A handle 8 with a spherical end is provided at the top of the slider 6. One end of the slider 6 is arranged in the recess of the first cleaning frame 2, which is convenient for the movement of the slider 6 and the fixation of the first cleaning frame 2. Magic tapes 18 are embedded in the brush plates of the brush body 16 and the arc-shaped recesses of the first cleaning frame 2 and the second cleaning frame 3. The brush body of the brush body 16 is closely attached to the natural gas pipeline 1, which is convenient for the replacement of the brush body 16 and the cleaning of the outer surface of the natural gas pipeline 1. A rubber squeegee 17 with an arc-shaped bottom is provided on the right side of the brush body 16. The rubber squeegee 17 is fixedly connected to the first cleaning frame 2 and the second cleaning frame 3, which is convenient for cleaning harder impurities on the outer surface of the natural gas pipeline 1.
[0025] Workflow: When the device is in operation, it is powered by an external power supply. When using the natural gas outer surface cleaning device, first place the whole device in a suitable position. The user holds the handle 8 and moves it towards the electric lifting rod 9. The spring 7 is compressed, driving the slider 6 to move until the slider 6 completely moves into the second fixed block 5. At this time, the first cleaning frame 2 can rotate backward. After rotating to a suitable position, the user starts the electric lifting rod 9 and adjusts it to a suitable height. Then, hold the electric lifting rod 9 and move it until the brush body 16 in the second cleaning frame 3 fits the lower half of the natural gas pipeline 1. At this time, rotate the first cleaning frame 2 in the opposite direction until the brush body 16 in the first cleaning frame 2 fits the upper half of the natural gas pipeline 1. At this time, a magnetic attraction force is generated between the magnetic strip 19 in the first cleaning frame 2 and the magnetic strip 19 in the second cleaning frame 3, and the first cleaning frame 2 is effectively fixed. Then release the handle 8, and the elastic force of the spring 7 drives the slider 6 to move in the second fixed block 5 until one end of the slider 6 is inserted into the recess of the first cleaning frame 2 to further fix the first cleaning frame 2. Then place the cleaning liquid in the water tank 11, connect one end of the hose 13 to the water pump 12, and tighten the other end to the threaded blocks 14 at the first cleaning frame 2 and the second cleaning frame 3 respectively. The hose 13 is fixed. Start the water pump 12, drive the cleaning liquid in the water tank 11 to flow from the water tank 11 to the hose 13, and then flow from the through hole 15 to the brush body of the brush body 16. At this time, push the electric lifting rod 9 to make it in a moving state, drive the bristles of the brush body 16 stained with the cleaning liquid to effectively clean and wipe the outer surface of the natural gas pipeline 1, and at the same time drive the rubber scraper 17 to effectively clean the harder impurities on the outer surface of the natural gas pipeline 1. When the brush body 16 needs to be replaced after long-term use, since the brush body 16 and the first cleaning frame 2 and the second cleaning frame 3 are fixed by Velcro 18, the user can directly tear it off and replace it. By setting a movable and openable cleaning device on the outside of the natural gas pipeline 1, it is convenient to effectively clean the dust on the outer surface of the natural gas pipeline 1.
