Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of fluid transport equipment technology, and in particular to an integrated pumping and pipeline flushing device. Background Technology

[0002] When traditional pumping and pipeline systems transport high-viscosity fluids, high-viscosity fluid residues remain on the inner walls of the pipelines after the transport is completed. In existing technologies, backflushing is mostly used to clean the high-viscosity fluid residues in the pipelines.

[0003] However, due to the characteristics of high-viscosity fluids, multiple backwashing operations are often required to ensure cleaning effectiveness. This not only results in a serious waste of water resources, but also takes too long to complete and is inconvenient in practical applications.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an integrated pumping and pipeline flushing device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated pumping and pipeline flushing device that can ensure rapid cleaning of residual high-viscosity fluids without requiring multiple backwashing operations, thus saving water resources and improving cleaning efficiency. The actual use effect is more ideal, which solves the problem mentioned in the background art that due to the characteristics of high-viscosity fluids, multiple backwashing operations are often required to ensure the cleaning effect, which not only causes serious waste of water resources, but also takes too long and is too inconvenient in actual use.

[0006] According to one aspect of this disclosure, the following technical solution is provided: an integrated pumping and pipeline flushing device, comprising:

[0007] Screw pump;

[0008] A fluid delivery mechanism for delivering fluid;

[0009] A backwashing mechanism, wherein the backwashing mechanism is used to backwash the fluid delivery mechanism; and

[0010] The high-efficiency cleaning mechanism includes an ultrasonic transducer, an annular housing, a water supply pipe, a second shut-off valve, an annular cover plate, an extension pipe, and a high-pressure nozzle.

[0011] The ultrasonic transducer is fixedly installed inside the left end of the delivery pipe. The annular housing is located on the right side of the ultrasonic transducer and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the delivery pipe. The water supply pipe is fixedly installed through the front of the annular housing and extends to the outside of the delivery pipe. The second shut-off valve is installed on the water supply pipe. The annular cover plate is rotatably installed at the right opening of the annular housing via a bearing. There are two extension pipes, which are fixedly installed through the top right and bottom right sides of the annular cover plate, respectively. There are multiple high-pressure nozzles, which are evenly fixedly installed on the sides of the two extension pipes and are all arranged in a horizontal direction.

[0012] According to at least one embodiment of the pumping and pipeline flushing integrated device of the present disclosure, the fluid delivery mechanism includes a delivery pipe, a first regulating valve and a second regulating valve. The delivery pipe is provided with a low-friction coating. The first regulating valve and the second regulating valve are respectively bolted to both ends of the delivery pipe. The first regulating valve is bolted to the input end of the screw pump.

[0013] According to at least one embodiment of the pumping and pipeline flushing integrated device of the present disclosure, two concentric O-rings are nested between the delivery pipe and the first regulating valve, between the delivery pipe and the second regulating valve, and between the first regulating valve and the screw pump input end.

[0014] According to at least one embodiment of the pumping and pipeline flushing integrated device of the present disclosure, the backwashing mechanism includes a flushing water inlet pipe and a flushing water outlet pipe, wherein the flushing water inlet pipe is fixedly disposed through one end of the bottom of the conveying pipe, and the flushing water outlet pipe is fixedly disposed through the other end of the bottom of the conveying pipe.

[0015] According to at least one embodiment of the pumping and pipeline flushing integrated device of the present disclosure, the backwashing mechanism includes a first shut-off valve, and two first shut-off valves are provided, which are respectively provided on the flushing water inlet pipe and the flushing water outlet pipe.

[0016] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0017] This invention features a highly efficient cleaning mechanism. After the high-viscosity fluid is transported, cleaning water is continuously supplied to the annular chamber inside the annular housing via a water supply pipe. The cleaning water enters multiple high-pressure nozzles through two extension pipes and is then sprayed onto the inner wall of the transport pipe, cleaning the high-viscosity fluid adhering to the inner wall. During the cleaning process, the extension pipes, due to the reaction force of the water jet from the high-pressure nozzles, cause the annular cover plate to rotate continuously on the right side of the annular housing, thereby increasing the cleaning area. Simultaneously, the ultrasonic transducer uses high-frequency vibration to synchronously clean with the cleaning water. After cleaning, the second shut-off valve is closed, and then the two first shut-off valves are opened, and flushing water is supplied into the transport pipe through the flushing water inlet pipe. The flushing water carries the high-viscosity fluid cleaned by the fluid transport mechanism out through the flushing water outlet pipe. Compared with existing similar devices, this invention can ensure rapid cleaning of residual high-viscosity fluid without the need for multiple backwashing operations, saving water resources and improving cleaning efficiency, resulting in a more ideal practical effect.

[0030] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the high-efficiency cleaning mechanism 4 of an integrated pumping and pipeline flushing device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the integrated pumping and pipeline flushing device disclosed herein may include components such as a screw pump 1, a fluid delivery mechanism 2, a backflushing mechanism 3, and a high-efficiency cleaning mechanism 4.

[0033] like Figure 2 As shown in this disclosure, the fluid conveying mechanism 2 includes a conveying pipe 21, a first regulating valve 22, and a second regulating valve 23. The conveying pipe 21 is provided with a low-friction coating. The first regulating valve 22 and the second regulating valve 23 are respectively bolted to both ends of the conveying pipe 21. The first regulating valve 22 is bolted to the input end of the screw pump 1. Two concentric O-rings are nested between the conveying pipe 21 and the first regulating valve 22, between the conveying pipe 21 and the second regulating valve 23, and between the first regulating valve 22 and the input end of the screw pump 1.

[0034] Therefore, the application of a low-friction coating allows the pumped fluid to pass through smoothly, reducing energy loss and fluid turbulence, and further optimizing fluid transmission efficiency.

[0035] The two concentric O-rings can improve the sealing effect, thus enabling the device to effectively prevent leakage of pumped liquid under different temperature and pressure conditions.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the backwashing mechanism 3 includes a backwash water inlet pipe 31, a backwash water outlet pipe 32, and a first shut-off valve 33. The backwash water inlet pipe 31 is fixedly disposed through one end of the bottom of the conveying pipe 21, and the backwash water outlet pipe 32 is fixedly disposed through the other end of the bottom of the conveying pipe 21. Two first shut-off valves 33 are provided, and the two first shut-off valves 33 are respectively disposed on the backwash water inlet pipe 31 and the backwash water outlet pipe 32.

[0037] Therefore, after the fluid conveying mechanism 2 has cleaned the residual high-viscosity fluid, it opens the two first shut-off valves 33 and inputs flushing water into the conveying pipe 21 through the flushing water inlet pipe 31. The flushing water drives the high-viscosity fluid cleaned by the fluid conveying mechanism 2 to be discharged through the flushing water outlet pipe 32.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown in this disclosure, the high-efficiency cleaning mechanism 4 includes an ultrasonic transducer 41, an annular housing 42, a water supply pipe 43, a second shut-off valve 44, an annular cover plate 45, an extension pipe 46, and a high-pressure nozzle 47. The ultrasonic transducer 41 is fixedly disposed inside the left end of the delivery pipe 21. The annular housing 42 is located to the right of the ultrasonic transducer 41 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the delivery pipe 21. The water supply pipe 43 is fixedly disposed through the front of the annular housing 42 and extends to the outside of the delivery pipe 21. The second shut-off valve 44 is disposed on the water supply pipe 43. The annular cover plate 45 is rotatably disposed at the right opening of the annular housing 42 via a bearing. Two extension pipes 46 are provided, respectively fixedly disposed through the top right and bottom right sides of the annular cover plate 45. Multiple high-pressure nozzles 47 are provided, evenly fixedly disposed on the sides of the two extension pipes 46 and all arranged horizontally.

[0039] Therefore, after the high-viscosity fluid is transported, cleaning water is continuously supplied to the annular chamber inside the annular shell 42 through the water supply pipe 43. The cleaning water enters the interior of multiple high-pressure nozzles 47 through two extension pipes 46, and is then sprayed onto the inner wall of the delivery pipe 21 through the high-pressure nozzles 47, thereby cleaning the high-viscosity fluid adhering to the inner wall of the delivery pipe 21. During the cleaning process, the extension pipes 46 are driven by the reaction force of the water flow sprayed from the high-pressure nozzles 47 to drive the annular cover plate 45 to rotate continuously on the right side of the annular shell 42, thereby increasing the cleaning area. At the same time, the ultrasonic transducer 41 cleans in sync with the cleaning water through high-frequency vibration. Compared with existing similar devices, this utility model can ensure the rapid cleaning of residual high-viscosity fluid, and at the same time, it does not require multiple backwashing operations, saving water resources and improving cleaning efficiency. The actual use effect is more ideal.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] Multiple pressure sensors are also installed on the inner wall of the delivery pipe 21 so that the pressure fluctuation inside the delivery pipe 21 can be monitored in real time and the data can be fed back to the electronic control system. The electronic control system adjusts the opening of the screw pump 1 and the first regulating valve 22 based on the data to ensure that the pressure is within a reasonable range, avoid the delivery pipe 21 from bursting or pumping from being obstructed, and further optimize the operating status of the screw pump 1 and the fluid delivery mechanism 2.

[0042] The pressure sensor described above is a piezoresistive pressure sensor, which has the advantages of high accuracy, wide measurement range and strong anti-interference ability.

[0043] Multiple flow sensors are also installed on the inner wall of the conveying pipe 21. The flow sensors feed back real-time flow data to the electronic control system. The electronic control system adjusts the flow rate and velocity in the conveying pipe according to the flow data to ensure that the flow of cleaning water is sufficient and stable, thereby optimizing the cleaning effect.

[0044] Based on the feedback from the flow sensor, the electronic control system adjusts the flow rate between the flushing water inlet pipe 31 and the flushing water outlet pipe 32 according to the feedback flow data to ensure that the amount of water used for cleaning is appropriate and that there is no waste or insufficient water.

[0045] The flow sensor mentioned above is set as an electromagnetic flow meter or an ultrasonic flow meter. Electromagnetic flow meters have good adaptability to high viscosity fluids, are not affected by fluid temperature and pressure, and can accurately measure liquid flow. Ultrasonic flow meters use ultrasonic technology to measure flow velocity, are suitable for a variety of fluids, and have no mechanical moving parts, making them suitable for high viscosity fluid environments.

[0046] The ultrasonic transducer 41 is configured as a high-power ultrasonic transducer, which can work stably in the environment of high pressure and high viscosity fluid. It helps to break the high viscosity fluid attached to the wall of the delivery pipe 21 by generating high-frequency waves through ultrasonic frequency vibration. It converts electrical energy into mechanical waves and effectively enhances the impact force of the cleaning water through ultrasonic vibration, thereby achieving a better cleaning effect.

[0047] The electrical control system can adjust the output power of the ultrasonic transducer 41 according to the cleaning requirements of the pipeline to cope with different types of high viscosity fluids. The output power and frequency of the ultrasonic transducer 41 can be adjusted by the electrical control system.

[0048] Both the first regulating valve 22 and the second regulating valve 23 are equipped with electric actuators or pneumatic actuators to quickly adjust the valve opening according to the control signal and ensure real-time adjustment of fluid delivery;

[0049] The aforementioned electronic control system includes a central control unit, a sensor module, and an actuator module. The central control unit receives data from the pressure sensor, flow sensor, and ultrasonic transducer 41 and makes corresponding adjustments. The sensor module connects all sensors and converts the collected data into digital or analog signals, which are then transmitted to the central control unit. The actuator module drives the working status of actuators such as the first regulating valve 22, the second regulating valve 23, the screw pump 1, and the ultrasonic transducer 41 according to the control signals, thereby adjusting the system operation in real time.

[0050] It should also be noted that those skilled in the art can select appropriate models of piezoresistive pressure sensors, electromagnetic flow meters, ultrasonic flow meters, and high-power ultrasonic transducers according to actual needs. Therefore, this application will not elaborate on the specific models of piezoresistive pressure sensors, electromagnetic flow meters, ultrasonic flow meters, and high-power ultrasonic transducers.

[0051] It should also be noted that any content not described in detail in this specification is prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0052] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely for illustrating the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Those skilled in the art can make other changes or modifications based on the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications still fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
