The accumulation of impurities will affect the pipeline transportation efficiency. To ensure the efficient operation of the pipeline, pipeline operating companies generally use pigs to regularly clean the pipelines. The pig sending and receiving trolley is a tool for receiving, sending and transporting pigs.

When the walking assembly 6 rotates, it can drive the sending and receiving ball rod driving mechanism to move along the upper edge of the arc-shaped supporting mechanism 2, and then drive the sending and receiving ball rod 3 forward or backward, the auxiliary support member is arranged at intervals from the sending and receiving ball rod driving mechanism, the auxiliary support member is installed on the arc-shaped supporting mechanism 2, and the sending and receiving ball rod 3 slides with the auxiliary support member, through The auxiliary support member can prevent the sending and receiving ball rod 3 from being away from one end of the sending and receiving ball rod driving mechanism and deflecting downward during movement, thereby ensuring the stability of the sending and receiving ball rod 3 during movement; when the pipe cleaning tool is required to be sent and received, the lifting mechanism 1 can transport the arc-shaped supporting mechanism 2 to a specific height. At this time, the driving motor 4 works and drives the walking assembly 6 to rotate through the driving shaft 5. The walking assembly 6 can move forward or backward along the upper edge of the arc-shaped supporting mechanism 2 during rotation to drive the sending and receiving ball rod 3 forward, send the pipe cleaning tool into the pipeline, and complete the pipe cleaning tool entry operation. At the same time, when the pipe cleaning tool is discharged from the pipeline, the sending and receiving ball rod 3 can also be automatically retracted under the action of the sending and receiving ball rod driving mechanism, providing a storage space for the pipe cleaning tool in the arc-shaped supporting mechanism 2, so that the pipe cleaning tool can be accommodated in the arc-shaped supporting mechanism 2, thereby realizing the automation of the pipe cleaning tool sending and receiving operation. In this process, there is no need to manually pick up the sending and receiving ball rod 3, nor is there any need to manually adjust the position of the sending and receiving ball rod 3, thereby improving the efficiency of the pipe cleaning tool sending and receiving operation, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the efficiency of pipeline cleaning.
