Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of natural gas pipelines, in particular to a spiral propulsion pig for natural gas pipelines. Background Art

[0002] Natural gas pipelines are pipeline systems used to transport natural gas, usually made of steel or plastic materials. They play an important role in the production, transportation and distribution of natural gas. During the use of natural gas pipelines, impurities, sediments or moisture may accumulate inside due to various factors. These substances not only reduce the circulation efficiency of the pipelines, but may also cause corrosion to the pipelines, thereby affecting their service life and safety. Therefore, a spiral propulsion pipe cleaning device for natural gas pipelines is needed.

[0003] During use, traditional spiral-propelled pipe pigs for natural gas pipelines are usually designed for pipes of a specific diameter and may not be able to effectively adapt to pipes of different diameters. When the diameter of the pipeline exceeds the design range of the pipe pig, the pipe pig may not be able to pass smoothly, and it is necessary to replace the spiral-propelled pipe pigs for natural gas pipelines of different specifications, which increases the cleaning cost and reduces the practicality of the device. Traditional spiral-propelled pipe pigs lack a dedicated cleaning mechanism and can only rely on their own propulsion force for cleaning. This design limits their ability to remove stubborn sediment, dirt or other impurities, reducing the cleaning effect. Utility Model Content
