Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline cleaning devices, and in particular to a municipal pipeline cleaning device that can be adapted to different pipe diameters. Background Technology

[0002] Pipe cleaning devices are specialized equipment used to clean dirt and debris inside pipes. Functionally, they use physical and chemical methods to remove contaminants from the pipe walls and clean all parts of the pipes in an all-round way. Application scenarios cover municipal water supply and drainage, and various industrial fields. The dirt varies in different scenarios and the cleaning requirements are stringent. In terms of structural composition, it includes power, cleaning, and control components. The power supply provides energy, the cleaning components directly remove dirt, and the control part adjusts the operating parameters to complete the cleaning task in a coordinated manner.

[0003] In existing technology, such devices typically include a motion device, an energy device, and a cleaning device. One side of the motion device is fixedly connected to one side of the energy device, and the side of the energy device away from the motion device is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning device. The energy device supplies power to the entire device, enabling it to operate automatically. Both the motion device and the cleaning device are equipped with electric telescopic rods. These electric telescopic rods allow the outer side of the motion device to contact the inner wall of the municipal pipeline, enabling the device to move inside the pipeline. The cleaning device, via the electric telescopic rod, also allows its cleaning components to contact the inner wall of the pipeline. The motion device drives the cleaning device to rotate, allowing it to clean the inner wall of the pipeline. The electric telescopic rods ensure cleaning even when dealing with pipelines of different diameters. However, in actual use, some residual sludge may remain on the inner wall of the pipeline. The cleaning device alone is insufficient to remove these hardened residues, resulting in poor cleaning performance.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new municipal pipeline cleaning device that can be adapted to different pipe diameters to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a municipal pipeline cleaning device that can be adapted to different pipe diameters.

[0006] The municipal pipeline cleaning device adapted to different pipe diameters provided by this utility model includes: a moving device, a driving device, and a cleaning device. One side of the driving device is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning device, and one side of the moving device is fixedly connected to the outside of the driving device.

[0007] The cleaning device includes: a mounting rod, two first telescopic rods, two cleaning blocks, and two scrapers. One side of the mounting rod is movably connected to one side of the driving device. One side of each of the two first telescopic rods is fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting rod. One side of each of the two cleaning blocks is fixedly connected to the side of each of the two first telescopic rods away from the mounting rod. Multiple cleaning brushes are evenly arranged on the side of each of the two cleaning blocks away from the two first telescopic rods. Mounting posts are also provided on the side of each of the two cleaning blocks away from the two first telescopic rods. Springs are provided on one side inside each of the two mounting posts. Movable rods are provided on the side of each of the two springs away from the two mounting posts. The two movable rods extend into the interior of the two mounting posts. The side of each movable rod away from the two springs is fixedly connected to one side of each of the two cleaning blocks. Both scrapers are arc-shaped, and the outer surfaces of both scrapers are arc-shaped.

[0008] Preferably, the bristles of the plurality of brushes extend from the side away from the two cleaning blocks to the side of the two scrapers away from the two cleaning blocks.

[0009] Preferably, both scrapers are made of rigid material, and the outer surfaces of both scrapers are provided with a waterproof and wear-resistant coating.

[0010] Preferably, the driving device includes: a control box, a drive motor, and a connecting wire. One side of the drive motor is fixedly connected to one side of the control box. One end of the connecting wire is installed inside the control box. The side of the drive motor away from the control box is movably connected to one side of the mounting rod. One side of the moving device is fixedly connected to the outside of the control box.

[0011] Preferably, the motion device includes: four second electric telescopic rods and four motion wheels, one side of each of the four second electric telescopic rods is fixedly connected to the outside of the control box, and the four motion wheels are respectively installed inside the four second electric telescopic rods.

[0012] Preferably, the outer surfaces of the four wheels are all made of flexible rubber material.

[0013] Compared with related technologies, the municipal pipeline cleaning device adapted to different pipe diameters provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] In practical use, the distance between the two cleaning blocks can be adjusted by the two telescopic rods in the device. This telescopic movement adapts to municipal pipelines of different diameters. When the pipe diameter is small, the telescopic rods retract, bringing the cleaning blocks closer to the mounting rods. When the pipe diameter is large, the telescopic rods extend, allowing the cleaning blocks to expand outwards, always maintaining effective contact with the inner wall of the pipe. This allows for cleaning work on pipes of various diameters. The two cleaning blocks are arc-shaped with rounded outer surfaces. This design closely fits the circular structure of the pipe's inner wall, ensuring that the cleaning blocks adapt well to the pipe's curvature regardless of the pipe diameter. This ensures that the cleaning brush and scraper can evenly act on the inner wall of the pipe, effectively removing dirt. The two scrapers can handle more stubborn dirt, such as… The scraper effectively removes scale, hardened debris, and other impurities. The combination of a scraper and brush allows it to handle various types of dirt, from soft stains to hard deposits, improving cleaning efficiency and quality. The mounting post and movable rod are connected by a spring. Municipal pipelines may have irregularities on their inner walls, such as localized protrusions, depressions, weld seams, or corrosion pits. When the scraper passes through these areas, the spring allows the movable rod to extend and retract flexibly within the mounting post. If it encounters a protrusion on the pipeline wall, the scraper will experience an outward pushing force. At this time, the spring is compressed, and the movable rod retracts into the mounting post, allowing the scraper to automatically avoid a violent collision with the protrusion and prevent damage. It also prevents the scraper from excessively squeezing the pipeline wall, which could cause damage. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0022] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of the municipal pipeline cleaning device that can be adapted to different pipe diameters provided by this utility model. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the specific structure of the cleaning device provided by this utility model; Figure 3 A schematic diagram showing another specific structural state of the cleaning device provided by this utility model; Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the scraper and cleaning brush structure provided by this utility model; Figure 5 A cross-sectional view of the internal structure of the first telescopic rod and the cleaning block provided for this utility model.

[0023] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, the municipal pipeline cleaning device adaptable to different pipe diameters provided by this utility model includes: a motion device, a drive device, and a cleaning device. One side of the drive device is fixedly connected to one side of the cleaning device, and one side of the motion device is fixedly connected to the outside of the drive device.

[0024] The cleaning device includes: a mounting rod 1, two first telescopic rods 2, two cleaning blocks 3, and two scrapers 4. One side of the mounting rod 1 is movably connected to one side of the driving device. One side of each of the two first telescopic rods 2 is fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting rod 1. One side of each of the two cleaning blocks 3 is fixedly connected to the side of each of the two first telescopic rods 2 away from the mounting rod 1. Multiple cleaning brushes 5 are evenly arranged on the side of each of the two cleaning blocks 3 away from the two first telescopic rods 2. Mounting posts 6 are also provided on the side of each of the two cleaning blocks 3 away from the two first telescopic rods 2. Each of the two springs 7 is provided on one side of the interior. Each of the two springs 7 is provided with a movable rod 8 on the side away from the two mounting posts 6. The two movable rods 8 extend into the interior of the two mounting posts 6 respectively. The side of the two movable rods 8 away from the two springs 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the two scrapers 3 respectively. Both scrapers 3 are arc-shaped and the outer surface of both scrapers 3 is arc-shaped. Multiple bristles extend from the side away from the two cleaning blocks 3 to the side away from the two cleaning blocks 3. Both scrapers 4 are made of hard material and the outer surface of both scrapers 4 is provided with a waterproof and wear-resistant coating 9.

[0025] It should be noted that both scrapers 4 mentioned above are arc-shaped, and their outer surfaces are also arc-shaped. In actual use, this shape design fits closely to the circular structure of the inner wall of the pipe. Regardless of the pipe diameter, the two scrapers 4 can adapt well to the curvature of the pipe, ensuring that the two scrapers 4 can act evenly on the inner wall of the pipe and effectively remove dirt. Furthermore, two springs 7 are installed between the two mounting columns 6 and the two movable rods 8. This allows the springs 7 to effectively reduce the impact force on the scrapers 4 during operation. When scraping off hard dirt or foreign objects in the pipe, the impact force may damage the scrapers 4. The springs 7 can absorb and disperse these impact forces, extending the service life of the scrapers 4. For the inner wall of the pipe, the springs 7 can prevent the scrapers 4 from scratching the pipe due to excessive rigid contact. Especially for some pipes with fragile materials, such as old plastic pipes or pipes lined with anti-corrosion coatings, this buffering contact can minimize damage to the inner wall of the pipe while ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0026] The drive device includes: a control box 10, a drive motor 11, and a connecting wire 12. One side of the drive motor 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the control box 10. One end of the connecting wire 12 is installed inside the control box 10. The side of the drive motor away from the control box 10 is movably connected to one side of the mounting rod 1. One side of the motion device is fixedly connected to the outside of the control box 10. The motion device includes: four second electric telescopic rods 13 and four motion wheels 14. One side of each of the four second electric telescopic rods 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the control box 10. The four motion wheels 14 are installed inside the four second electric telescopic rods 13. The outer surface of each of the four motion wheels 14 is made of flexible rubber material.

[0027] It should be noted that one end of the aforementioned connecting line 12 is connected to the inside of the control box 10, and the other end is connected to an external control device. The external control device sends a signal through the connecting line 12, and the control box 10 receives the signal and controls the operation of the first telescopic rod 2, the second electric telescopic rod 13, the moving wheels 14, and the drive motor 11. The drive motor 11 drives the mounting rod 1 to rotate, causing the two cleaning blocks 3 to drive the two scrapers 4 and the cleaning brush 5 to rotate and clean the inner wall of the pipe. The control box 10 controls the first telescopic rod 2 and the second electric telescopic rod 13 to extend and retract, which can clean the inner wall of pipes of different diameters. The outer surface of the four moving wheels 14 is made of flexible rubber material, which allows the four moving wheels 14 to fit tightly against the inner wall of the pipe during actual use. The rubber material has a large friction, which also allows the four moving wheels to drive the equipment to move along the pipe.

[0028] The circuits and controls involved in this utility model are all existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0029] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
