[0002] In the industrial production sector, the cleaning of straight metal pipes is a crucial step in ensuring product quality and performance. As the manufacturing industry continues to demand higher cleanliness standards for metal pipes, traditional straight metal pipe cleaning tanks are gradually revealing their limitations in terms of cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

[0003] When cleaning metal pipes, staff will first place the metal pipes into the cleaning tank and rinse them with a neutral detergent solution to remove surface dust. Then, a special cleaning agent will be used for cyclic cleaning, combined with ultrasonic enhancement to remove stubborn stains. Finally, the pipes will be rinsed multiple times with clean water to ensure that no cleaning agent residue remains.

[0004] The existing technology has the following drawbacks: traditional cleaning equipment mostly uses fixed cleaning tanks, which cannot effectively recycle the cleaning fluid and has low drainage efficiency, easily causing waste of cleaning fluid and environmental pollution. In addition, the existing cleaning tanks lack efficient water control mechanisms, making it difficult to achieve precise control and rapid discharge of the cleaning fluid, resulting in unsatisfactory cleaning effects. Therefore, a water control mechanism inside a metal straight pipe cleaning tank is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a water control mechanism inside a metal straight pipe cleaning tank, which aims to solve the problems of cleaning fluid waste, low drainage efficiency, and unsatisfactory cleaning effect in the prior art.

[0011] The lower surface of the moving rod is in contact with the upper surface of the baffle.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The outer wall of the metal tube is in contact with the outer wall of the baffle, and the left end of the metal tube is in contact with the inner side wall of the fixing rod.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all 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.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of a water control mechanism for a metal straight pipe cleaning tank, including a cleaning tank 1. A cover plate 3 is hinged to the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. A cover-opening cylinder is provided on the cleaning tank 1, which controls the opening and closing of the cover plate 3. A hydraulic cylinder 2 is provided on the inner wall of the cleaning tank 1. The hydraulic cylinder 2 is a hydraulic actuator that converts hydraulic energy into mechanical energy and performs linear reciprocating motion (or oscillating motion). The above is prior art and will not be described in detail. A fixing plate 4 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the hydraulic cylinder 2. A water control plate 5 is hinged to the outer wall of the fixing plate 4. The water control plate 5 is a metal pipe 1. In the placement area of ​​3, a baffle 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the water control plate 5, a protective mechanism is provided at the top of the water control plate 5, and a metal pipe 13 is in contact with the top of the water control plate 5. A water outlet 12 is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the cleaning tank 1. The water outlet 12 is the outlet for cleaning liquid discharge. A one-way valve is provided on the water outlet 12. An adjustment component is provided at the top of the baffle 6. The protective mechanism includes a fixed rod 7, which is fixedly connected to the top of the water control plate 5. A movable rod 8 is slidably connected to the top of the water control plate 5. A slot corresponding to the movable rod 8 is opened on the water control plate 5, so that the movable rod 8 can move left and right.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The adjustment component includes a slot 11, which is located on the top of the baffle 6. A sliding rod 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slot 11. The slot 11 has a slot corresponding to the sliding rod 14, allowing the sliding rod 14 to move left and right. A locking block 9 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the rear end of the sliding rod 14 via a movable spring 10. When the locking block 9 moves backward, the movable spring 10 is compressed. When resetting, the elastic force of the movable spring 10 carries the locking block 9 back to its original position. The locking block 9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding rod 14. The sliding rod 14 has a slot corresponding to the locking block 9, allowing the locking block 9 to move back and forth. The sliding rod 14 is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the moving rod 8. The locking block 9 is engaged with the inner wall of the slot 11. The slot 11 has two sets of slots corresponding to the locking block 9. A protrusion is provided at the bottom end of the sliding rod 14.

[0036] Reference Figures 2-4 The lower surface of the moving rod 8 contacts the upper surface of the baffle 6. Both the moving rod 8 and the fixed rod 7 are L-shaped. The outer wall of the metal tube 13 contacts the outer wall of the baffle 6. The moving rod 8 and the fixed rod 7 work together to limit the movement of the metal tube 13. The left end of the metal tube 13 contacts the inner side wall of the fixed rod 7. The bottom end of the fixed rod 7 is provided with multiple sets of long rods. The long rods block the metal tube 13 and prevent the metal tube 13 from swaying left and right with the water control plate 5. The inner side wall of the moving rod 8 contacts the outer wall of the metal tube 13.

[0037] Working principle: When the metal pipe 13 needs to be cleaned, the electro-hydraulic cylinder 2 moves vertically. The right hydraulic cylinder 2 will move the right end of the fixing plate 4 and the water control plate 5 upward first. Then, when the right hydraulic cylinder 2 moves the right end of the water control plate 5 downward, the left hydraulic cylinder 2 will move the left end of the water control plate 5 upward. As the left and right sides of the water control plate 5 move vertically alternately, the cleaning fluid circulates in the cleaning tank 1, achieving a comprehensive cleaning of the straight metal pipe. After cleaning, the valve on the outlet 12 is opened, and then the right hydraulic cylinder 2 lifts the water control plate 5, making the water control plate 5 at a 6° angle, allowing the cleaning fluid to be discharged quickly, achieving rapid drainage.

[0038] When metal tube 13 needs to be removed, first open cover plate 3 using the flip-top hydraulic cylinder. Then, manually move the locking block 9 backward. When the locking block 9 separates from the slot on the locking groove 11, manually move the locking block 9 and sliding rod 14 to the right. When the sliding rod 14, along with the moving rod 8, no longer obstructs the metal tube 13, the locking block 9 aligns with the second slot on the locking groove 11. Manually release the locking block 9, and use the elastic force of the movable spring 10 to engage the locking block 9 into the slot on the locking groove 11, thus limiting the movement of the moving rod 8. Then, the operator can manually remove the metal tube 13. When metal tube 13 needs to be placed, manually place it between the fixed rod 7 and the moving rod 8. In the gap, manually move the locking block 9 backward. When the locking block 9 separates from the slot of the slot 11, manually move the locking block 9 and the sliding rod 14 to the left. When the sliding rod 14, along with the moving rod 8, blocks and limits the metal tube 13, the locking block 9 and the slot of the slot 11 coincide. Manually release the locking block 9 so that it engages with the slot of the slot 11, thus limiting the moving rod 8. The fixing rod 7 and the moving rod 8 will block the metal tube 13, preventing the metal tube 13 from colliding with the cleaning tank 1 due to its own shaking when it moves with the water control plate 5. Then pour in the cleaning solution and close the cover plate 3 by controlling the electric flip-top cylinder. The above cleaning steps can then continue.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
