[0026] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of a pipe equipment cleaning brush device includes a brush handle 1, a brush head 2, a shell 3, a three-jaw chuck 4 and a drive assembly 5. The brush head 2 is arranged at one end of the brush handle 1, and the three-jaw chuck 4 is arranged on the shell 3. The other end of the brush handle 1 can be adjusted to the position of the three-jaw chuck 4 according to the length requirement and fixed by the three-jaw chuck 4; the drive assembly 5 is arranged in the shell 3 and drives the three-jaw chuck 4 to rotate. According to the length of the pipe to be cleaned, the length of the brush handle 1 can be freely adjusted, and the brush handle 1 can be fixed by the three-jaw chuck 4. The three-jaw chuck 4 is driven by the drive assembly 5, so that the brush head 2 located at one end of the brush handle 1 rotates and brushes in the pipe. This not only solves the problem that the existing brushes cannot adapt to different pipe lengths, but also replaces manual brushing by driving the drive assembly 5, reducing the intensity of manual labor and making cleaning more thorough. It is particularly noted that the brush can be provided in a variety of sizes depending on the diameter of the pipe. The diameter of the brush handle 1 can also be adaptively increased or decreased. However, due to the use of a three-jaw chuck 4, it can accommodate brush handles 1 of varying diameters, increasing its applicability to varying pipe diameters. When adjusting the length of the brush handle 1, the brush handle 1 is installed according to the actual pipe length required. Adjustment of the length is achieved by clamping it to the three-jaw chuck 4, ensuring effective cleaning of the pipe while preventing the brush handle 1 from extending too long and breaking during cleaning.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of a pipe and instrument cleaning brush device has a brush head 2 with bristles of varying lengths, and the bristles are arranged in a zigzag pattern along the brush handle 1. The brush head 2 uses bristles of varying lengths and a zigzag pattern, which allows the bristles to adaptively adjust to varying pipe diameters within a certain range, ensuring that every point on the pipe wall is cleaned.

[0029] like Figure 1As shown, an embodiment of a pipe instrument cleaning brush device, the drive assembly 5 includes a gear set 50, a motor 51 and a switch 52. The switch 52 is electrically connected to the power supply of the motor 51, and the rotating shaft of the motor 51 is connected to the three-jaw chuck 4 through the gear set 50. The power supply can be an external power supply or a battery built into the housing 3. By connecting the power supply, the switch 52 and the motor 51 in sequence to form an electrical circuit, the switch 52 can control the on and off of the motor 51 to achieve controllable operation. Other electrical components can also be included in the electrical circuit. The gear set 50 includes at least two gears, one of which is connected to the rotating shaft of the motor 51, and the other gear is connected to the three-jaw chuck 4. The two gears are engaged with each other, and the rotation of the motor 51 drives the three-jaw chuck 4 to rotate.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a pipe equipment cleaning brush device according to the embodiment further includes a flushing assembly 6, which is arranged on the end of the housing 3 near the brush head 2 and provides flushing for the brush head 2. This realizes flushing while brushing, which can not only flush impurities dropped by washing out of the pipe in time, but also simplifies the operation steps and makes the cleaning process more efficient.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of a pipe and instrument cleaning brush device, the flushing assembly 6 includes an inner cylinder 60 and an outer cylinder 61. The outer cylinder 61 is sleeved on the inner cylinder 60. The outer cylinder 61 and the inner cylinder 60 are both hollow structures, and the two cavities are interconnected. The inner cylinder 60 is connected to a water supply line 62, and one end of the outer cylinder 61 is provided with a liquid outlet 63. Flushing liquid is injected into the inner cylinder 60 through the water supply line 62. The flushing liquid continuously fills the cavities of the inner cylinder 60 and the outer cylinder 61. Due to the liquid pressure, the cavity between the outer cylinder 61 and the inner cylinder 60 tends to increase. Under such driving force, the outer cylinder 61 moves relative to the inner cylinder 60 toward one end of the brush head 2. Finally, the flushing liquid is sprayed out of the liquid outlet 63 and acts on the brush head 2. The pressure provided by the liquid is similar to a spring, which pulls the inner cylinder 60 and the outer cylinder 61 away from each other. Under the action of external force, the force is overcome and the outer cylinder 61 moves closer to the inner cylinder 60. During use, the brush head 2 is inserted into the pipe and gradually deepened. The end face of the outer tube 61 abuts against the end of the pipe. As the brush head 2 continues to penetrate the pipe, the pipe squeezes the outer tube 61 and moves it closer to the end of the three-jaw chuck 4. During this process, the flushing liquid ejected from the liquid outlet 63 always enters the pipe close to the pipe mouth, reducing the splashing of the flushing liquid. It also adapts to the depth change of the pipe and protects the brush handle 1 from being easily broken due to being suspended in the air. It is particularly noted that the positions of the inner tube 60 and the outer tube 61 are interchangeable, and structures similar to those of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] like Figure 3As shown in the figure, an embodiment of a pipe and instrument cleaning brush device has a centrally disposed channel for the brush handle 1 to pass through the flushing assembly 6. A bearing 64 is disposed between the channel and the inner cylinder 60 and / or the outer cylinder 61. The bearing 64 reduces resistance to the rotation of the brush handle 1. The inner diameter of the bearing 64 can be selected based on the diameter of the brush handle 1. The bearing 64 and the brush handle 1 have a clearance fit, thereby not affecting the length adjustment of the brush handle 1.

[0033] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of a pipe and instrument cleaning brush device has an outer tube 61 with a receiving plate 65 extending outward from one end. The receiving plate 65 has a large diameter to accommodate variations in pipe diameters, ensuring coverage for a wide range of pipe diameters. A limit stop is provided between the inner tube 60 and the outer tube 61 to prevent the inner tube 60 and the outer tube 61 from falling off when the inner tube 60 and the outer tube 61 are spaced apart to their maximum distance.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a mounting base 7 is provided below the housing 3. The mounting base 7 can be placed on a desktop, transferring the entire weight to the desktop through the mounting base 7, thereby reducing the operating load.

[0035] So far, the various embodiments of the present application have been described in detail. To avoid obscuring the concept of the present application, some details well known in the art have not been described. Based on the above description, those skilled in the art can fully understand how to implement the technical solutions disclosed herein.

[0036] Although some specific embodiments of the present application have been described in detail through examples, those skilled in the art will understand that the above examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments may be modified or some technical features may be replaced by equivalents without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application. In particular, as long as there are no structural conflicts, the various technical features mentioned in the various embodiments may be combined in any manner.
