Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe cleaning device technology, and in particular to a pipe cleaning device that is easy to operate. Background Technology
[0002] Drain cleaners are tools used to clean and unclog sewers. They come in various types, including wire and pneumatic types, and are indispensable tools in modern households. When using them, pay attention to the power plug and avoid unnecessary motor repairs.
[0003] According to Chinese Patent Application No. 202222286507.0, a pipe cleaner includes a flexible shaft delivery pipe, a housing, a flexible shaft wound into a helical shape, and push rollers evenly distributed around the flexible shaft within the delivery pipe. The housing is rotatably connected to and communicates with the delivery pipe. The flexible shaft is wound within the housing. The push rollers include fixed rollers and movable rollers. The fixed rollers are rotatably connected within the delivery pipe, and the movable rollers are rotatably connected to a movable roller seat. The movable roller seat is slidably connected to the delivery pipe. A rotatable pressure cam is provided on the outer circumference of the delivery pipe, and the wheel surface of the pressure cam abuts against the end of the movable roller seat. When using this invention to unclog pipes, the pressure between the movable rollers and the flexible shaft can be easily and quickly adjusted by rotating the pressure cam, achieving a better unclogging effect. The steel wire drain cleaner used in this patent uses a high-speed rotating flexible shaft to break up debris blocking the pipes and achieve the effect of unblocking them. However, the high-speed rotating flexible shaft will splash water and debris inside the pipes, which will dirty the room or splash onto the drain cleaner, causing inconvenience. Therefore, a more convenient drain cleaner is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, such as welding, riveting, or bonding; it can also be a detachable connection, such as threaded connection, keyed connection, or pin connection; or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0021] like Figure 1-3As shown, the present invention proposes a convenient pipe cleaner, including a housing 1, which is shaped like a gun handle. Two control buttons 9 are installed on the top of the housing 1. An anti-slip sleeve 2 is provided at the handle of the housing 1. A connecting pipe 4 is connected to the left side of the housing 1. A head connector 6 is installed on the left side of the connecting pipe 4. The feature is that the connecting pipe 4 and the head connector 6 are provided with a cleaning structure 8 for unblocking the pipe.
[0022] A battery block 11 is installed inside the handle of the housing 1. A data cable connector is installed at the bottom of the battery block 11. An arc-shaped hole of the same size as the bottom of the battery block 11 is opened at the bottom of the housing 1, and a removable cover is installed on the arc-shaped hole. A control module 10 is installed inside the housing 1 and at the bottom of the control button 9. The control module 10 is electrically connected to the battery block 11. A handle 3 is installed on the outer surface of the connecting tube 4. A stop block 5 is also provided on the outer surface of the connecting tube 4 and on the left side of the handle 3. An inflation structure 7 for blocking the tube is also provided on the outer surface of the head tube 6.
[0023] It should be noted that when charging battery block 11, the removable cover must be removed first, and then the charging cable and data cable connector must be connected to charge.
[0024] Specifically, when a drain cleaner is needed to unclog a pipe, the user holds the housing 1 with one hand and the handle 3 with the other, then inserts one end of the cleaning structure 8 into the pipe, while placing the stop block 5 on the outside of the pipe. Then, by turning on the control button 9, the control module 10 transmits the inflation command and the motor start command to the inflation structure 7 and the cleaning structure 8 respectively, so that the inflation structure 7 blocks the pipe, and finally the cleaning structure 8 cleans the inside of the pipe to complete the entire operation process.
[0025] In an optional embodiment, the cleaning structure 8 includes a spring metal ring 801, a servo motor 802, a drive shaft 803, fixing stiffeners 804, and an internal space 805. The internal space 805 is located inside the head connector 6 and is connected to the connecting pipe 4 on its right side. The servo motor 802 is located on the left side inside the housing 1. The drive shaft 803 is installed inside the internal space 805 and the connecting pipe 4, and is also connected to the output end of the servo motor 802. The three fixing stiffeners 804 are respectively mounted on the outer surface of the drive shaft 803 by bearings, and the outer surfaces of the three fixing stiffeners 804 are also welded to the connecting pipe 4 and the internal space 805 of the head connector 6. The three fixing stiffeners 804 are respectively located at both ends and the middle of the drive shaft 803. The spring metal ring 801 is fixedly connected to the other end of the drive shaft 803, and the spring metal ring 801 passes through the left side of the head connector 6 and extends outward. The left end of the spring metal ring 801 can also be configured as a teardrop-shaped elastic spring ring.
[0026] Specifically, when it is necessary to unclog the pipes, the servo motor 802 can be turned on, which will cause the transmission shaft 803 connected to the servo motor 802 to rotate the spring metal ring 801 under the action of the fixing force 804 and the bearing. The rotating spring metal ring 801 will then break up the debris and water blocking the pipes, thereby achieving the effect of unclogging the pipes.
[0027] In an optional embodiment, the inflation structure 7 includes an inflatable airbag 701, a small air pump 702, a connecting air tube 703, and an airbag receiving groove 704. The airbag receiving groove 704 is formed on the outer surface of the head tube 6. The inflatable airbag 701 is fitted inside the airbag receiving groove 704. The inner ring of the airbag receiving groove 704 is provided with double-sided adhesive that adheres to the inflatable airbag 701. The small air pump 702 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the connecting tube 4. One end of the connecting air tube 703 is connected to the air inlet end of the small air pump 702. The other end of the connecting air tube 703 passes through the right side of the head tube 6 and extends into the interior of the airbag receiving groove 704 and is connected to the inflatable airbag 701.
[0028] It should be noted that the inflatable airbag 701 can be configured in different models according to the pipeline requirements. For example, for pipelines with larger diameters, a larger head connector 6 and inflatable airbag 701 can be used to achieve the effect of sealing the pipeline.
[0029] Specifically, after the drain cleaner is inserted into the pipe, the small air pump 702 is turned on, which in turn injects gas into the inflatable airbag 701 through the connecting air pipe 703. After the inflatable airbag 701 expands and fills the airbag receiving groove 701, it will extend to the outside, thereby achieving the effect of sealing the pipe opening.
[0030] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within its protection scope. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims, or equivalent forms of such scope and boundaries.
