In addition, the cleaning is not thorough, there are dead angles and blind areas, and some blockages can not be completely cleaned. The method of chemical agent soaking, this method has corrosion risk, and long-term use of chemical agent can corrode the copper pipe, and shorten its service life. In addition, there is a security risk, and the chemical agent usually has certain toxicity and volatility, improper operation can cause harm to the operator and pollution to the environment.

[0020] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the related application, and not to limit the application. In addition, it should be noted that, for the convenience of description, only the parts related to the application are shown in the drawings.
[0021] It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] As Figure 1As shown, the embodiment provides a portable cleaning device for air cooler copper pipe, which comprises a transition sheath 1, the inside of the transition sheath 1 is a cavity structure, a cleaning brush penetrates through the transition sheath 1 and extends into the air cooler copper pipe, and the air cooler copper pipe can be cleaned by using the cleaning brush. In the embodiment, the transition sheath 1 is made of stainless steel material and has a diameter smaller than that of the air cooler copper pipe, which is used to limit the deformation of the iron wire 6 caused by large swing during the rotation of the cleaning brush, and can also be used as a fixed end for hand holding. In addition, the transition sheath 1 is provided with a water storage chamber 2 on the periphery, the water storage chamber 2 is provided with a water nozzle 3 at one end extending into the air cooler copper pipe and an inlet 4 at the other end, pressure water can enter the water storage chamber 2 from the inlet 4 and be sprayed into the air cooler copper pipe through the water nozzle 3, and the blocked objects can be flushed and softened during the cleaning process. In the embodiment, the pressure water is used in cooperation with the cleaning brush to clean the inside of the copper pipe, so that the blocked objects in the copper pipe can be cleaned without damaging the copper pipe.
[0023] In the embodiment, a baffle 10 is arranged on the outer wall of the water storage chamber 2 in the circumferential direction, the baffle 10 is located on the periphery of the air cooler copper pipe, and the splashing of the flushed out silt and water stains on the operating personnel is prevented. Specifically, the transparent acrylic baffle is used in the embodiment, and the internal condition can be observed through the transparent acrylic baffle.
[0024] In the embodiment, the cleaning brush comprises an iron wire 6 and a brush 7, the iron wire 6 penetrates through the transition sheath 1 and extends into the copper pipe, and the brush 7 is located on the part of the iron wire 6 exposed to the transition sheath 1 and extending into the copper pipe. Specifically, the brush 7 is nylon brush, the iron wire 6 is flexible iron wire and is double-wound, and the brush 7 is spirally woven on the iron wire 6. Due to the centrifugal force, the iron wire 6 moves along the circumferential direction on the wall of the air cooler copper pipe, and has adaptability in the cleaning of the air cooler copper pipe with different hole diameters.
[0025] In order to facilitate the rotation of the cleaning brush, a clamping part can be arranged at the end of the cleaning brush, i.e. the iron wire 6. In the embodiment, the clamping part is a hexagonal head 8, the hexagonal head 8 can be clamped by a hand drill, so that the cleaning brush can be rotated under the driving of the hand drill. In addition, the side of the hexagonal head 8 close to the transition sheath 1 is provided with a baffle ring 9, the diameter of the baffle ring 9 is greater than that of the cavity of the transition sheath 1, which prevents the hexagonal head 8 from being thrown into the transition sheath 1 or the air cooler copper pipe due to unstable clamping of the hand drill and from scratching the pipe wall, blocks the small amount of silt and water stains entering the cavity of the transition sheath 1 during the cleaning process from flowing out, and also plays a positioning role to make the iron wire 6 rotate at the position of the center of the cavity. Specifically, the baffle ring 9 can be rotatably connected with the transition sheath 1 by using a bearing.
[0026] The inlet 4 is provided with a quick connector 5, which can be made of stainless steel, and the quick connector 5 facilitates the quick connection of the pressure water pipeline. In addition, in the embodiment,Figure 2 As shown, the water nozzles 3 are evenly arranged in 6, which improves the scouring intensity of water flow.
[0027] In addition, a small pressure gauge 11 can be installed on the periphery of the water storage chamber 2 to monitor the water pressure in real time during the cleaning process, which serves as a basis for adjusting the flow rate, and abnormal conditions such as blockage of the water nozzle 3 can be found in time by observing the pressure change.
[0028] In use, the operator inserts the bristles 7 into the copper pipe to be cleaned by using the hexagonal bit 8 clamped by the electric drill, starts the electric drill to rotate at a low speed to a moderate speed, and the iron wire 6 drives the bristle 7 assembly to rotate and slightly vibrate in the copper pipe. The bristles 7 rub against the inner wall of the copper pipe to strip the adhered silt and blockages, and at the same time, clean water is injected through the water nozzle 3 to flush out the stripped blockages outside the pipe. The device rotates the nylon bristles 7 woven on the iron wire 6 by the rotation of the electric drill, and combines with the high-pressure water flow to clean the blockages in the copper pipe without damaging the copper pipe.
[0029] Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the utility model involved in the present application is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combination of the above technical features, and should also cover other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above technical features or their equivalent features without departing from the concept of the utility model. For example, the above features can be replaced with the technical features disclosed in the present application (but not limited to) having similar functions to form technical solutions.
