Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0026] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the first feature "above" or "below" the second feature may be that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in an appropriate manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.

[0027] In this utility model, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a light material cleaning mechanism in a pipeline is provided, which is applied to a conveying pipeline 1, wherein the pipeline is provided with a plurality of operation holes 2 at intervals, and the cleaning mechanism includes a hole cover 3 detachably mounted on the operation hole 2; the cleaning mechanism also includes a fixed bracket, an airbag ring 4 connected on both sides of the fixed bracket, a cleaning brush 5 mounted on the outer periphery of the airbag ring 4, an air nozzle 6 mounted on the airbag ring 4, and a connecting rope connecting the fixed bracket; the fixed bracket includes an arc-shaped base 7, a vertical rib 8 connected to the arc-shaped base 7, the airbag ring 4 is connected to the vertical rib 8, the connecting rope is connected to the arc-shaped base 7, and the airbag ring 4 is respectively mounted on both sides of the vertical rib 8.

[0028] When cleaning, the cleaning mechanism of the present invention opens two adjacent hole covers 3 of the pipeline, and an airbag ring 4 is placed into the conveying pipeline 1 through the operating hole 2 in an uninflated state. Air is then ventilated into the airbag ring 4 through the operating hole 2, causing the airbag ring 4 to expand after ventilation. The cleaning brush 5 on the outer periphery of the airbag ring 4 contacts the inner surface of the conveying pipeline 1. At this time, a fixed bracket can be dragged back and forth through the two operating holes 2 via a connecting rope, and the fixed bracket drives the airbag ring 4 to move back and forth, so that the brush can clean the inner surface of the conveying pipeline 1. After cleaning, the airbag ring 4 is deflated through the operating hole 2 and removed from the operating hole 2. After the hole cover 3 is closed, the conveying pipeline 1 can be transported.

[0029] The cleaning mechanism of the present invention can shrink the airbag ring 4, insert it into the conveying pipe 1 through the operating hole 2, and then expand it within the conveying pipe 1. This allows the cleaning component to be inserted and removed from the operating hole 2, whose opening is smaller than the cross-section of the conveying pipe 1. Compared to the prior art method of inserting and removing the cleaning component from the end of the conveying pipe 1, the present invention is easier to operate. Furthermore, by connecting a connecting rope to the arcuate base 7, when the connecting rope is pulled through the two operating holes 2, the connecting rope drives the arcuate base 7 to slide roughly along the bottom of the conveying pipe 1, thereby enabling the fixed bracket to drive the airbag rings 4 on both sides to move relatively smoothly. Furthermore, by providing airbag rings 4 on both sides of the fixed bracket, when the airbag ring 4 is slightly twisted during the pulling of the fixed bracket, the brush bodies 502 on the outer sides of the two airbag rings 4 contact the inner wall of the conveying pipe 1, thereby improving the structural stability of the entire mechanism and further enhancing the thoroughness of the cleaning process.

[0030] In the illustrated embodiment, specifically, the structure of the present invention comprises a plurality of arcuate ribs 701 spaced apart along the axis of the delivery pipe 1, and connecting ribs 702 connecting adjacent arcuate ribs 701. As shown, the provision of the plurality of arcuate ribs 701 reduces frictional resistance between the arcuate base 7 and the delivery pipe 1, and also facilitates cleaning of the delivery pipe 1.

[0031] In the illustrated embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, to be more specific, a mounting roller 9 is provided on the top of the vertical rib 8 , and the airbag ring 4 is mounted on the mounting roller 9 .

[0032] As shown in the figure, by setting up the installation roller 9, the airbag ring 4 can drive another synchronous movement through the installation roller 9 when it deviates from the center of the conveying pipe 1 or tilts and twists during movement, and then the two airbag rings 4 are respectively in contact with the inner wall of the conveying pipe 1 to restrict each other, so as to constrain the approximate positions of the two airbag rings 4.

[0033] In the illustrated embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, to be more specific, the mounting roller 9 is provided with a mounting groove, and the airbag ring 4 is sleeved in the mounting groove.

[0034] As shown in the figure, by providing the installation groove, the installation of the airbag ring 4 can be made more stable.

[0035] In the illustrated embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, to be more specific, a limiting convex ring 10 is provided in the middle of the mounting roller 9, the vertical rib 8 is connected to the limiting convex ring 10, and a limiting plate 11 is detachably installed on the outer end of the mounting roller 9, and the mounting groove is formed between the limiting plate 11 and the limiting convex ring 10.

[0036] As shown in the figure, the airbag ring 4 can be easily installed or removed by removing the limiting plate 11, thereby facilitating the replacement and maintenance of the airbag ring 4.

[0037] In the illustrated embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, more specifically, the limiting plate 11 is screwed onto the mounting roller 9. As shown in the figure, a threaded hole is provided at the end of the mounting roller 9, and the limiting plate 11 is provided with a stud that can be fixed in the threaded hole.

[0038] In the illustrated embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, to be more specific, the cleaning brush 5 includes a base 501 and a brush body 502 installed on the base 501. The base 501 is installed on the airbag ring 4, and the base 501 is installed at circumferential intervals on the airbag ring 4.

[0039] In this way, the cleaning brush 5 and the airbag ring 4 can be processed separately and then installed together. Moreover, by arranging the base 501 at intervals, the influence of the base 501 on the deformation ability of the airbag ring 4 can be reduced, so as to facilitate the airbag ring 4 after exhaust to pass through the operation hole 2.

[0040] In the illustrated embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, to be more specific, the airbag ring 4 is provided with at least two installation areas at intervals along its axial direction, and the base 501 is arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the airbag ring 4 within the installation area; the projections of the bases 501 of each installation area of ​​the same airbag ring 4 in the axial direction of the airbag ring 4 are staggered.

[0041] As shown in the figure, by setting two installation areas on one airbag ring 4 and staggering the substrates 501 in each installation area, cleaning dead corners caused by gaps between adjacent substrates 501 can be reduced.

[0042] In the illustrated embodiment, for the structure of the present invention, more specifically, the base 501 and the airbag ring 4 are bonded together.

[0043] In the illustrated embodiment, specifically, the structure of the present invention is described as follows: the conveying pipe 1 is provided with a mounting tube 12 at the location of the operating hole 2. The hole cover 3 includes a cover body 301 threadedly engaged with the mounting tube 12 and a filler body 302 extending into the mounting tube 12. The inner end of the filler body 302 is configured to have a curved surface that conforms to the inner surface of the conveying pipe 1. The side of the filler body 302 is provided with a mounting groove, in which a sealing ring 13 is installed. As shown in the figure, this can reduce the impact of the operating hole 2 on the material conveyed by the conveying pipe 1.

[0044] Regarding the method for fixing the connecting rope to the arc-shaped base 7, in a preferred embodiment, the connecting rope is fixed to the arc-shaped base 7 in the form of a tether. Regarding the arrangement of the connecting rope in the conveying pipe 1, it is preferred that the connecting rope be completely removed after each cleaning of the conveying pipe 1, and then the connecting rope be driven through the conveying pipe 1 by a threading machine when cleaning is required. Alternatively, after each cleaning is completed, the two ends of the cleaning rope are respectively fixed in two adjacent operating holes 2 to retain the cleaned material in the conveying pipe 1.

[0045] In the attached Figure 1 In order to better show the structure, one of the airbag rings is removed and one side is...
