Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline rust removal devices, specifically a rust removal device for the inner wall of metal pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] Metal pipelines, especially steel pipes, play a vital role in water conservancy projects and the transportation of oil and natural gas, serving as essential components for transporting fluids, gases, powdery solids, and exchanging heat. After prolonged storage or use, metal pipelines often rust. Most pipelines require anti-corrosion treatment before use. While grinding and protecting the outer surface of metal pipelines is relatively easy, existing rust removal equipment is inadequate for removing rust from the inner walls of small-diameter pipelines (inner diameter less than 100mm). Since most existing civilian metal pipelines have a diameter less than 100mm, due to technological and equipment limitations, deep rust removal from the inside of these pipelines is usually impossible through grinding; only short-distance grinding at both ends is possible. Rust removal from the inner walls of small-diameter pipelines has become a pressing problem that urgently needs to be solved.

[0003] Chinese patent document CN212706053U discloses a pipe rust removal device, which includes a traction rope, a rust removal mechanism, a guiding mechanism, and a driving mechanism. The traction rope is knotted into a loop and passes through the pipe to be rusted. The rust removal mechanism is fixedly mounted on the traction rope and is used to enter the pipe to be rusted and remove rust. There are at least two guiding mechanisms, which are respectively located at both ends of the pipe to be rusted and are used to guide the traction rope. The power output end of the driving mechanism is connected to the traction rope and is used to drive the traction rope to move, thereby driving the rust removal mechanism to move inside the pipe. Through the cooperation of the traction rope, the rust removal mechanism, the guiding mechanism, and the driving mechanism, rust removal of medium-diameter straight pipes and curved pipes can be completed conveniently and quickly. While the aforementioned rust removal device can remove rust from the inner walls of small-diameter pipes, it presents the following problems in actual use: 1. Because it requires a traction rope to be knotted into a loop and passed through the pipe to be rusted, it cannot remove rust from the inner walls of longer pipes. Furthermore, when the pipe has a large degree of curvature, the traction rope wears out quickly, and if it breaks, it can easily damage the equipment. 2. It requires a guide mechanism fixed to both ends of the pipe to be rusted to guide the traction rope. The guide mechanism is cumbersome to install and prone to detachment, causing equipment damage. 3. During the installation and fixing of the guide mechanism, as well as during the pulling and vibration during the rust removal process, the guide mechanism can easily damage both ends of the pipe, causing deformation and potential quality issues.
