Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of steel pipe rust removal, and in particular to a device for removing rust from the outer wall of a pipeline. Background Art
[0002] Infrastructure construction in complex mountainous environments, especially culvert construction, faces numerous natural challenges, particularly rugged terrain and inaccessible access. Flange-reinforced steel pipes have emerged as a key design solution for these challenging conditions. This design not only addresses the challenges of material transportation but also enhances the safety and stability of the structure. The unique characteristics of mountainous terrain make transporting long materials difficult, making it difficult to transport conventional steel pipes directly to the construction site. Therefore, short-length steel pipes (e.g., 3 meters) have become a common choice for transportation in mountainous areas, particularly for tunnel construction and culvert construction in water conservancy projects. These projects often require traversing complex geology, placing extremely high demands on pipe strength and flexibility, which flange-reinforced steel pipes meet. Flange-reinforced steel pipes, with their reinforced ribs added to the pipe wall, significantly increase the pipe's circumferential and axial strength, enabling it to withstand higher internal and external pressures, making them particularly suitable for environments subject to mountain pressure and water pressure. Furthermore, its short design facilitates transportation in mountainous areas, allows for on-site splicing and docking, and allows for flexible adaptation to various complex terrains and cave sizes, significantly improving construction efficiency and reducing the difficulty of mountain operations. Flange-reinforced steel pipes are frequently used in mountainous water conservancy projects, such as water diversion, irrigation, and flood control facilities. They ensure the stability and durability of the projects while overcoming the inconvenience of mountain transportation, demonstrating the adaptability and innovation of modern engineering technology in complex environments.
[0003] Traditional steel pipe outer wall rust removal devices are mostly designed for standard-sized, continuous steel pipes without internal reinforcement structures. The steel pipe rotates through the rust removal chamber, and the pipe body can be rusted evenly 360°. When flange reinforced steel pipes need to be rusted, conventional spiral transmission cannot transport such flange steel pipes, and rust cannot be removed evenly 360°. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a device that can cope with rust removal operations on flange reinforced steel pipes. Utility Model Content
[0004] This device provides a device for removing rust from the outer wall of a pipeline. The specific implementation is as follows:
[0005] A device for removing rust from the outer wall of a pipeline, comprising:
[0006] A rust removal bin and a traveling rotating unit for feeding the steel pipe into the rust removal bin; a plurality of driving wheels driven by a third motor are provided on the bottom plate of the traveling rotating unit; the driving wheels are respectively arranged to abut against both sides of the circumference of the steel pipe to drive it to rotate circumferentially;
[0007] The abrasive circulation component and the sandblasting machine are arranged in the rust removal chamber. The abrasive circulation component includes a vertically arranged conveyor belt, the conveyor belt is connected to the second motor, and the outer peripheral surface of the conveyor belt is equidistantly arranged along its ring with feeding plates for carrying and recovering bottom sandblasting residues.
[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the flange reinforcement steel pipe is precisely guided and steadily pushed into a special rust removal chamber through the walking and rotating part, and the sandblasting machine is activated, which works in conjunction with the walking and rotating part on the surface of the steel pipe; the sandblasting machine sprays high-speed abrasives to impact the rust on the surface of the steel pipe, while the walking and rotating part synchronously drives the steel pipe to rotate, ensuring that every corner of the flange reinforcement part is evenly covered by the abrasive; not only does it ensure the comprehensiveness of the reinforcement steel pipe in the rust removal process, but the automated operation also greatly improves the operating efficiency and reduces manpower requirements and operational risks.
[0009] Preferably, the rust removal chamber is divided into a sub-chamber, a shot blasting chamber and a sub-chamber in sequence along its length, and the sub-chamber is provided with a plurality of sealing rubber curtains along its length to prevent sandblasting from splashing out.
[0010] Based on the above technical solutions, an innovative closed shot blasting room is adopted to improve operating efficiency and environmental safety. Sub-chambers are configured at both ends of the shot blasting room. The sub-chambers are equipped with flexible sealing rubber curtains to solve the problem of the flange reinforcement steel pipe being opened when the front and rear ends of the steel pipe enter and exit the shot blasting room during the sandblasting and grinding operation in sections. It effectively prevents the direct communication between the indoor and outdoor environments of the shot blasting room, and greatly reduces the dust leakage during the shot blasting operation.
[0011] Preferably, a cleaning chamber is provided at the bottom of the shot blasting chamber, the cleaning chamber is lower than the ground, and the feeding plate at the bottom of the conveyor belt extends into the cleaning chamber.
[0012] Based on the above technical solution, the secondary recycling of sandblasting debris is achieved by setting up a cleaning chamber and an abrasive circulation component.
[0013] Preferably, it also includes a conveying assembly installed on the ground, which includes a guide rail that transversely passes through the two chambers and the shot blasting chamber, and the guide rail is slidably connected to the casters installed on the bottom plate.
[0014] Preferably, the linear motion driving structure between the conveying assembly and the traveling rotating part has two forms, namely:
[0015] First, the conveying assembly also includes a chain and a sprocket arranged along the guide rail, which are connected to the output end of the first motor, and any point of the chain is connected to the base plate.
[0016] Secondly, a fourth motor is integrated on the bottom plate, and an output end of the fourth motor is connected to the caster through a chain.
[0017] Preferably, the third motor and the driving wheel are driven by an off-axis gear structure.
[0018] Preferably, the top surface of the bottom plate is configured as an inclined structure that is less likely to accumulate sandblasting residues.
[0019] Preferably, a dust collector is further included, the suction end of which is connected to the side of each sub-chamber through a three-way conduit.
[0020] Based on the above technical solution, in addition to optimizing the design of the closed shot blasting chamber, a high-efficiency dust collector is added to the sub-chamber. When the flange reinforcement steel pipe is sandblasted and polished section by section, some sand slag is introduced into the sub-chamber and cleaned by the dust collector to avoid accumulation and secondary pollution.
[0021] In summary, this application has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0022] 1. This utility model pushes the flange reinforcement steel pipe into the rust removal chamber through the traveling rotating part, and uses the sandblasting machine and the traveling rotating part to drive the flange reinforcement steel pipe to rotate, thereby realizing the fully automated section-by-section circumferential rust removal operation of the flange reinforcement steel pipe;
[0023] 2. The utility model has a simple structure. By arranging sub-chambers with a plurality of sealing rubber curtains at both ends of the shot blasting chamber, the front and rear ends of the flange reinforcement steel pipe are prevented from passing through the shot blasting chamber during the section-by-section sandblasting, thereby preventing the shot blasting chamber from being opened and the sand from leaking out of the shot blasting chamber.
[0024] 3. The utility model realizes the secondary recycling of sandblasting debris by providing a cleaning chamber and an abrasive circulation component. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
