Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] according to Figure 1 、 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, a cleaning device for a gas pipeline is proposed in this embodiment, comprising a cleaning block 1, a second conical head 4 being provided at one end of the cleaning block 1, a first conical head 2 being provided at the other end of the cleaning block 1, a first jet assembly being provided on the outer side of the second conical head 4, and a second jet assembly being provided on the outer side of the first conical head 2;

[0023] The second conical head 4 is installed at the head of the cleaning block 1, and the first nozzle 3 is installed at the tail of the cleaning block 1. When the cleaning block 1 moves in the pipeline, the first jet component on the outside of the second conical head 4 will flush the blockage in the pipeline and in front of the second conical head 4 and flush the blockage. The second jet component on the outside of the first conical head 2 will flush the pipeline for the second time from behind the second conical head 4. During the flushing process, a forward reverse thrust is applied to the cleaning block 1 to improve the passing rate of the cleaning block 1 in the pipeline.

[0024] A plurality of movable arms 12 are provided on the outside of the cleaning block 1. The movable arms 12 are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction of the axis of the cleaning block 1. The lower ends of the movable arms 12 are hinged to the cleaning block 1. The upper ends of the movable arms 12 are provided with hemispherical sleeves 10. The hemispherical sleeves 10 are fixedly connected to the movable arms 12. A rolling ball 11 is provided on the end of the hemispherical sleeve 10 away from the movable arm 12. The hemispherical sleeve 10 is nested outside the rolling ball 11 and is movably connected to the rolling ball 11.

[0025] A spring rod structure is provided between the movable arm 12 and the cleaning block 1 for providing elastic support to the movable arm 12 .

[0026] A spring-loaded rod structure propels each movable arm 12 outward toward the sides of the cleaning block 1. The ball 11 atop each arm 12 contacts the inner wall of the pipe, positioning the cleaning block 1 in the center of the pipe. This ensures smooth movement along the pipe axis, effectively clearing obstructions. The nested design of the ball 11 and hemispherical sleeve 10 not only supports forward and backward movement of the cleaning block 1, but also allows the cleaning block 1, first conical head 2, and second conical head 4 to rotate within the pipe, providing enhanced flexibility.

[0027] It should be further explained that one end of the cleaning block 1 is fixedly connected to one end of the first conical head 2, and the other end of the cleaning block 1 is fixedly connected to one end of the second conical head 4. A push rod 7 is provided at the end of the first conical head 2 away from the cleaning block 1. The push rod 7 is fixedly connected to the first conical head 2, and the push rod 7 is hollow inside.

[0028] The end of the push rod 7 away from the first conical head 2 is connected to the push rod device. The push rod device pushes the first conical head 2, the cleaning block 1 and the second conical head 4 into the gas pipeline through the push rod 7 to clear the blocked gas pipeline. The push rod 7 can rotate. When the push rod 7 rotates, the first conical head 2, the cleaning block 1 and the second conical head 4 will also rotate. The first jet component and the second jet component accelerate the cleaning of the blockage in the pipeline during rotation.

[0031] The water injection pump is connected to the first guide pipe 8, and clean water is injected into the first jet cavity through the first guide pipe 8, and then sprayed out through the second nozzle 5 outside the second conical head 4 to flush the blockage in front of the second conical head 4.

[0032] About the second jet assembly:

[0033] The second jet assembly includes several first nozzles 3 arranged on the outside of the first conical head 2, and the first nozzles 3 are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction of the axis of the first conical head 2. The first nozzles 3 are connected to the second jet cavity opened in the first conical head 2, and the second jet cavity is connected to the second guide tube 9 provided in the push rod 7.

[0034] The water injection pump is connected to the second guide pipe 9, and clean water is injected into the second jet cavity through the second guide pipe 9, and then sprayed outward through the first nozzle 3 outside the first conical head 2 to flush the dirt on the inner wall of the pipe behind the first nozzle 3.

[0035] The composition of the various components on the spring rod structure is described below.

[0036] The spring rod structure includes a support arm 13 arranged between the cleaning block 1 and the movable arm 12. The lower end of the support arm 13 is hinged to the outer wall of the cleaning block 1. The upper end of the support arm 13 is provided with a spring 14. The spring 14 is fixedly connected to the support arm 13. The other end of the spring 14 is hinged to the upper end of the movable arm 12 through a hinge seat.

[0037] Under the push of spring 14, movable arm 12 will open around cleaning block 1. During the opening process, ball 11 on top of movable arm 12 will cling to the inner wall of the pipe, so that the axis of cleaning block 1 coincides with the axis of the pipe. The same can be applied to pipes of different diameters.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment, a movable handle 17 is provided on the side of the movable arm 12 , a scraper 18 is provided on the upper end of the movable handle 17 , and the lower end of the scraper 18 is detachably connected to the movable arm 12 .

[0043] The second conical head 4 is installed at the head of the cleaning block 1, and the first nozzle 3 is installed at the tail of the cleaning block 1. When the cleaning block 1 moves in the pipeline, the first jet component on the outside of the second conical head 4 will flush the blockage in the pipeline and in front of the second conical head 4 and flush the blockage. The second jet component on the outside of the first conical head 2 will flush the pipeline for the second time from behind the second conical head 4. During the flushing process, a forward reverse thrust is applied to the cleaning block 1 to improve the passing rate of the cleaning block 1 in the pipeline.

[0044] The spring rod structure pushes each movable arm 12 toward the sides of the cleaning block 1. The rolling ball 11 on the top of the movable arm 12 will contact the inner wall of the pipe, positioning the cleaning block 1 in the center of the pipe, ensuring that the cleaning block 1 can move smoothly along the axis of the pipe and effectively clear the blockage in the pipe.
