Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline sludge treatment devices, and in particular to a pipeline inner sludge treatment device. Background Technology
[0002] Pipes are common objects in daily life, and common materials include PVC, PPR, and aluminum-plastic composites. Their function is to connect two places and transport liquids and other substances over long distances. During the use of pipes, especially urban sewage pipes, they are often blocked by foreign objects such as sludge, and the inner walls of the pipes also become covered with dirt that is difficult to wash away by water.
[0003] The cleaning process for pipelines mostly involves disassembling them. Manual tools are used to reach inside the pipeline and move it back and forth to remove the sludge and clean the dirt adhering to the inner wall of the pipeline. Then, the pipeline is manually reinstalled in its original position, and finally, the installation location of the pipeline is restored, such as by backfilling with soil or re-laying covering materials.
[0004] However, pipe cleaning tools are often limited in length and difficult to bend. When the pipe is too long, it is difficult to remove all the mud at once. It is necessary to clean from both ends separately, and there is still a possibility that the tool is not long enough. Existing tools are also quite difficult to handle when dealing with curved pipes. Therefore, when cleaning the sludge in the pipe, it is necessary to disassemble each part of the pipe, clean it one by one, and then put it back together, which is time-consuming and laborious. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides an embodiment of a sludge treatment device for the inside of a pipeline, comprising a split outer shell 1, a first connecting ring 3, and a drive assembly. Multiple sets of split outer shells 1 are provided, with a first connecting ring 3 at the connection point of two sets of split outer shells 1. A second connecting ring 4 is provided inside the first connecting ring 3. The first connecting ring 3, the second connecting ring 4, and the split outer shell 1 are rotatably connected. An electric wheel 2 for driving the device is provided on the outside of the split outer shell 1. A crushing blade 8 for crushing objects inside the pipeline is provided on one side of one set of split outer shells 1. A drive assembly for driving the crushing blade 8 to rotate is provided at the connection point between the crushing blade 8 and the split outer shell 1. The drive assembly is rotatably connected to the split outer shell 1. A drive motor 5 is provided on the outside of one set of split outer shells 1. By setting the first connecting ring 3 and the second connecting ring 4, multiple sets of split outer shells 1 are connected, allowing the split outer shells 1 to rotate freely within a certain range. This allows the device to advance through the curved pipeline via the electric wheel 2. During the advance, the drive motor 5 uses the drive assembly to drive the crushing blade 8 to rotate at high speed, crushing and cleaning the sludge inside the pipeline.
[0023] Please see Figure 2 In this embodiment, a first rotating shaft 301 is provided on the outer side of the first connecting ring 3. The first rotating shaft 301 is rotatably connected to the split shell 1 and the first connecting ring 3. A second rotating shaft 302 is provided on the inner side of the first connecting ring 3. The second rotating shaft 302 is rotatably connected to the first connecting ring 3 and the second connecting ring 4. The rotation axes of the first rotating shaft 301 and the second rotating shaft 302 are perpendicular to each other on the plane where the first connecting ring 3 is located. The first rotating shaft 301 and the second rotating shaft 302, whose rotation axes are perpendicular to each other, make the split shell 1, the first connecting ring 3 and the second connecting ring 4 form a structure similar to a gyroscope, so that the two split shells 1 can freely adjust their bending direction within a certain range.
[0024] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment, a first connecting wire 201 is provided on one side of the electric wheel 2, and a second connecting wire 501 is provided on one side of the drive motor 5. A cable tray 401 is provided on the outer side of the second connecting ring 4. The first connecting wire 201 and the second connecting wire 501 enter the first corrugated pipe 103 through the cable tray 401. A connecting bracket 7 is provided at the connection between the electric wheel 2 and the split shell 1. The connecting bracket 7 is rotatably connected to the split shell 1 and the electric wheel 2. A pneumatic spring 6 is provided on one side of the connecting bracket 7. The pneumatic spring 6 is rotatably connected to the connecting bracket 7 and the split shell 1. The first connecting wire 201 and the second connecting wire 501 pass through the cable tray 401 and enter the first corrugated pipe 103 through the opening of the first corrugated pipe 103 for cable collection, preventing the wires from becoming tangled and affecting the operation of the device. The second corrugated pipe 104 is used to connect to the suction device to suck out the sludge crushed by the crushing blade 8. The pneumatic spring 6 can push the connecting bracket 7 to move, so that the electric wheel 2 can automatically adjust its position according to the diameter of the pipe.
[0025] Please see Figures 4-5 In this embodiment, the drive assembly includes an adapter ring 9 and a connecting seat 101. A connecting seat 101 is provided on one side of a split housing 1. A connecting groove 102 is provided at the connection point between the connecting seat 101 and the split housing 1. An adapter ring 9 is provided on the outer side of the connecting seat 101, and a toothed ring 901 is provided on the outer side of the connecting groove 102. The toothed ring 901 is fixedly connected to the adapter ring 9. A drive gear 502 is provided at the output end of the drive motor 5. The drive gear 502 meshes with the toothed ring 901. The crushing blade... A fixing ring 801 is provided on one side of the blade 8, and a bolt 802 is provided on the inner side of the fixing ring 801. The bolt 802 passes through the fixing ring 801 and is threadedly connected to the adapter ring 9. The mutual engagement of the connecting groove 102 and the toothed ring 901 rotates the adapter ring 9 to the connecting seat 101 and limits the position of the adapter ring 9. The bolt 802 fixes the fixing ring 801 and the adapter ring 9. The drive motor 5 drives the drive gear 502 to rotate and drives the toothed ring 901 to rotate, thereby driving the crushing blade 8 to rotate at high speed.
[0026] When cleaning the sludge inside the pipe, firstly, select a matching adapter ring 9 according to the diameter of the inner wall of the pipe and use bolts 802 to fix the fixing ring 801 to the adapter ring 9. Then connect the second corrugated pipe 104 to the suction device. After that, send the device into the pipe. After the electric wheel 2 contacts the pipe, compress the pneumatic spring 6 according to the diameter to adjust the position of the electric wheel 2 so that the electric wheel 2 can fit tightly against the inner wall of the pipe in pipes of various diameters. The first connecting wire 201 supplies power to the electric wheel 2. The rotation of the electric wheel 2 drives the device to move in the pipe. The drive motor 5 drives the drive gear 502 to rotate and drives the gear ring 901 to rotate, thereby driving the crushing blade 8 to rotate at high speed. The sludge is crushed by the crushing blade 8 and sucked out from the second corrugated pipe 104 to prevent the sludge from obstructing the movement of the device. When encountering a bend in the pipe, the first connecting ring 3 and the second connecting ring 4 rotate according to the actual situation, so that the split shell 1 automatically turns according to the direction of the pipe, so that the device can move in the bend of the pipe to clean the pipe.
[0027] Through the above steps, the multi-component separate shell 1 is connected by setting the first connecting ring 3 and the second connecting ring 4, and the separate shell 1 can rotate freely within a certain range. The device can move forward in the curved pipe by the electric wheel 2. During the forward movement, the drive motor 5 uses the drive component to drive the crushing blade 8 to rotate at high speed to crush and clean the sludge inside the pipe.
