Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline safety detection equipment, and in particular to a pipeline blockage detection device. Background Technology
[0002] Typically, fluids are pressurized by blowers, compressors, pumps, and boilers, and then flow from high-pressure areas to low-pressure areas in pipelines. They can also be transported using their own pressure or gravity. Pipelines have a wide range of applications, mainly in water supply, drainage, heating, gas supply, long-distance transportation of oil and natural gas, agricultural irrigation, hydraulic engineering, and various industrial installations. When pipelines become blocked, they can have adverse effects on residents and industrial production. Therefore, it is necessary to detect whether pipelines are blocked in advance.
[0003] Currently, traditional methods for detecting pipe blockages are often inefficient and inaccurate, requiring manual entry into the pipe or the use of complex equipment. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but may also pose safety hazards to the inspectors. To address these issues, we propose a pipe blockage detection device. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pipe blockage detection device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A pipe blockage detection device includes a frame. Three sets of annularly arranged guide cylinders are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the frame. A guide rod is slidably connected inside each guide cylinder. A limiting plate is fixedly connected to one end of each of the three sets of guide rods that are close to each other. A compression spring is fixedly connected to one side of each of the three sets of limiting plates that are close to each other. The other end of each compression spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide cylinder. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to one side of each of the three sets of guide rods that are far apart from each other. Two mounting brackets are fixedly connected to one side of each of the three mounting plates that are far apart from each other. A set of first bearings is fixedly embedded in the inner wall of each mounting bracket. A rotating rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each set of first bearings. A moving wheel is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each rotating rod. A servo motor is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of each of the three mounting brackets. The output end of each servo motor is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod.
[0007] In a further embodiment, a set of annularly arranged screws are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the frame, and a threaded cylinder is threadedly connected to the outer surface of each screw. A second bearing is fixedly embedded on one side of each of the three mounting plates that are close to each other, and the inner wall of each second bearing is fixedly connected to one end of a screw.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5In this utility model, a pipe blockage detection device includes a frame 1. Three sets of annularly arranged guide cylinders 2 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the frame 1. A guide rod 3 is slidably connected inside each guide cylinder 2. Limiting plates 6 are fixedly connected to the ends of the three sets of guide rods 3 that are close to each other. Compression springs 5 are fixedly connected to the sides of the three sets of limit plates 6 that are close to each other. The other end of each compression spring 5 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide cylinder 2. Mounting plates 4 are fixedly connected to the sides of the three sets of guide rods 3 that are far apart from each other. Two mounting brackets 7 are fixedly connected to the sides of the three mounting plates 4 that are far apart from each other. A set of first bearings 8 is fixedly embedded in the inner wall of each mounting bracket 7. A rotating rod 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of each set of first bearings 8. A movable wheel 10 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of each rotating rod 9. Servo motors 11 are fixedly mounted on the outer surfaces of the three mounting brackets 7. The output end of each servo motor 11 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 9. With the above scheme, when the servo motor 11 works, it can drive the rotating rod 9 to rotate on the inner wall of the first bearing 8. The rotating rod 9 drives the moving wheel 10 to rotate, so that the mounting plate 4 can move inside the pipeline under the drive of the mounting brackets 7 and the rotating rod 9. At the same time, the compression spring 5 can buffer and dampen the limit plate 6 and the guide rod 3 during the movement, so as to prevent impurities inside the pipeline from damaging the mounting plate 4. Meanwhile, the sliding connection between the guide rod 3 and the guide cylinder 2 can guide the movement direction of the mounting plate 4, making the mounting plate 4 more stable during the movement, thereby improving the practicality of the pipeline blockage detection equipment.
[0025] A set of annularly arranged screws 12 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of frame 1. Each screw 12 has a threaded sleeve 13 threadedly connected to its outer surface. Two second bearings 14 are fixedly embedded on the side of three mounting plates 4 that are close to each other. The inner wall of each second bearing 14 is fixedly connected to one end of a screw 12. When the threaded sleeve 13 is rotated, it can move on the outer surface of the screw 12. The movement of the threaded sleeve 13 drives the second bearings 14 to move, which in turn drives the mounting plates 4 to move. This allows adjustment of the spacing between the three mounting plates 4, enabling the pipe blockage detection device to be adjusted according to the internal diameter of the pipe, thus increasing its effectiveness. The pipe blockage detection equipment is applicable to the following: The inner wall of the frame 1 has an installation cavity 15, and a battery pack 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation cavity 15. The battery pack 16 provides power support for the servo motor 11, ensuring the normal operation of the servo motor 11, and thus ensuring the power supply of the entire pipe blockage detection equipment. Each moving wheel 10 has a rubber anti-slip pad 17 fixedly connected to its outer surface. The rubber anti-slip pad 17 increases the friction between the moving wheel 10 and the ground, making the pipe blockage detection equipment more stable when moving, avoiding the equipment from sliding or tipping over due to wet or uneven ground, thus ensuring the smooth progress of the detection work.
[0026] A sealing plate 18 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of frame 1 using fasteners. A set of equidistantly arranged heat dissipation windows 19 are provided on the back of the sealing plate 18. Each heat dissipation window 19 has a dustproof net fixedly connected to its inner wall. The dustproof net effectively prevents external dust and debris from entering the equipment, avoiding dust accumulation that could cause wear or blockage to internal parts, thus extending the equipment's service life. A set of circularly arranged mounting bases 20 are fixedly connected to the front of frame 1. Each mounting base 20 has a lighting lamp 21 fixedly connected to its front. The lighting lamp 21 provides illumination when there is insufficient light inside the pipe, allowing inspectors to more clearly observe the internal condition of the pipe, thereby improving... This allows for more accurate determination of whether a pipe is blocked, as well as the location and extent of the blockage. Simultaneously, the circular arrangement of the lighting lamps 21 ensures uniform light distribution inside the pipe, avoiding blind spots caused by insufficient or uneven light distribution, further improving the accuracy and reliability of the inspection. A mounting base 22 is fixedly connected to the front of the frame 1, and a camera 23 is fixedly mounted on the front of the mounting base 22. The camera 23 can capture images of the inside of the pipe in real time and transmit the image information to an external display screen via a transmission device. Inspectors can directly observe the situation inside the pipe without entering it, greatly improving the safety and efficiency of the inspection.
[0027] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0028] When the pipe blockage detection equipment is needed, the operator first moves the equipment to the pipe opening to be tested, then starts the servo motor 11. The output of the servo motor 11 drives the rotating rod 9 to rotate, which in turn drives the moving wheel 10 to rotate. The moving wheel 10 moves along the inner wall of the pipe, thus propelling the entire equipment forward. The moving wheel 10 reduces the friction between the equipment and the inner wall of the pipe, making the equipment move more smoothly inside the pipe without damaging the inner wall. At the same time, when the equipment encounters a blockage while moving inside the pipe, it will experience some resistance. In this case, the compression spring 5 will press against the limiting plate 6, which will cause the guide rod 3 to slide inside the guide cylinder 2, thus buffering the movement and preventing damage to the equipment due to excessive resistance. Finally, the screw 12 and the threaded cylinder 13 can be used to adjust the distance between the mounting plate 4 and the frame 1, thus adapting to pipes of different diameters and improving the applicability of the equipment.
