[0024] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, a pipe cleaning robot includes a mobile robot body 1. A housing 2 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the mobile robot body 1. A mounting shell 3 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the housing 2. A height control component 4 is provided on the surface of the mounting shell 3. A rotary drive component 5 is mounted on the surface of the height control component 4. A cleaning component 6 for cleaning the inner wall of the pipe is provided at the end of the rotary drive component 5. A spraying component 7 is mounted on the top surface of the housing 2. More specifically, the mobile robot body 1 travels inside the pipe, and the height control component 4 operates to adjust the center height of the rotary drive component 5 and the cleaning component 6. The cleaning component 6 is then extended and retracted to fit against the inner wall of the pipe. The rotary drive component 5 drives the cleaning component 6 to rotate, thus cleaning the inner wall of the pipe. The spraying component 7 can also spray cleaning agent onto the inner wall of the pipe to improve the cleaning effect.

[0025] The height control component 4 includes a first motor 401, which is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the mounting housing 3. A threaded post 402 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 401. A mounting frame 403 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded post 402. A sliding groove 404 is formed through the surface of the mounting housing 3, and the inner wall of the sliding groove 404 is slidably connected to the surface of the mounting frame 403. It should be noted that by driving the threaded post 402 to rotate via the first motor 401, the threaded post will slide along the inner wall of the sliding groove 404 under the action of the thread, thereby adjusting the center height of the rotation drive component 5 and the cleaning component 6, facilitating subsequent contact between the cleaning component 6 and the inner wall of the pipe.

[0026] The rotary drive assembly 5 includes a second motor 501, which is fixedly mounted on the surface of the mounting frame 403. A rotating shaft 502 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 501, and the rotating shaft 502 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 403. A mounting tube 503 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 502. More specifically, the operation of the second motor 501 drives the rotating shaft 502 and the mounting tube 503 to rotate, thereby rotating the cleaning assembly 6 and using the cleaning brush 606 to clean the inner wall of the pipe.

[0027] The cleaning assembly 6 includes a third motor 601, which is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the mounting tube 503. A worm gear 602 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor 601. A double-ended screw 603 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting tube 503. A worm wheel 604 is fixedly sleeved in the middle of the double-ended screw 603, and the worm gear 602 meshes with the worm wheel 604. A mounting rod 605 is threadedly connected to the surface of the double-ended screw 603, and the mounting rod 605 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting tube 503. A cleaning brush 606 is fixedly connected to the end of the mounting rod 605. It should be noted that by driving the worm gear 602 to rotate via the third motor 601, the meshing worm wheel 604 is rotated, thus controlling the rotation of the double-ended screw 603. Under the action of the threads, the mounting rod 605 will slide along the inner wall of the mounting tube 503, thereby adjusting the distance between the cleaning brush 606 and the inner wall of the tube, facilitating contact between the cleaning brush 606 and the inner wall of the tube.

[0028] The spray assembly 7 includes a liquid pump 701, which is fixedly installed on the top surface of the housing 2. The housing 2 contains cleaning agent. The inlet of the liquid pump 701 is connected to the inside of the housing 2, and the outlet of the liquid pump 701 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 702. A nozzle 703 is fixedly installed at the end of the connecting pipe 702 and is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting shell 3. A liquid inlet 704 is provided on the top surface of the housing 2. More specifically, the liquid pump 701 operates to extract the cleaning agent from inside the housing 2, delivers the cleaning agent through the connecting pipe 702, and finally sprays the cleaning agent onto the inner wall of the pipe through the nozzle 703 to clean the inner wall of the pipe.

[0029] A camera 8 is fixedly mounted on the top of the nozzle 703. It should be noted that the camera 8 allows users to conveniently observe the internal condition of the pipe in real time, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0030] In summary: The mobile robot body 1 travels inside the pipe, and the height control component 4 operates to adjust the center height of the rotation drive component 5 and the cleaning component 6. The cleaning component 6 then extends and retracts, allowing it to fit against the inner wall of the pipe. The rotation drive component 5 drives the cleaning component 6 to rotate, thus cleaning the inner wall of the pipe. The spray component 7 can also spray cleaning agent onto the inner wall of the pipe to improve the cleaning effect. In use, this achieves the effect of convenient automated cleaning of the inner wall of the pipe. It can be adaptively adjusted according to the specifications of the pipe, thereby ensuring effective contact between the cleaning structure and the inner wall of the pipe, and better meeting the cleaning needs of pipes of different specifications.
