[0027] 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.

[0028] This utility model provides, for example Figures 1-4 The intelligent ball-throwing detection device shown includes an oil collection manifold 1, a cleaning pipe 2, a flange plate, a ball-throwing machine 3, a ball-retrieving machine 4, and a detection component 5. The cleaning pipe 2 is connected to the oil collection manifold 1 via the flange plate. The ball-throwing machine 3 and the ball-retrieving machine 4 are respectively installed at the ends of the cleaning pipe 2. The ball-throwing machine 3 is used to deliver dewax-removing balls into the cleaning pipe 2, and an inductive chip is installed inside the dewax-removing ball, so that the position of the dewax-removing ball can be sensed by the chip. The detection component 5 is set on the cleaning pipe 2, and there are multiple detection components 5 on the cleaning pipe 2. The detection component 5 includes an integrated housing 51, a mounting pipe 52, a pressure sensor 53, and a ball valve 54. The integrated housing 51 is installed on the outside of the cleaning pipe 2, and the pressure sensor 53 is installed on the outside of the cleaning pipe 2. The mounting pipe 52 has a pre-drilled hole corresponding to the pressure sensor 53, allowing the pressure sensor 53 to detect the pressure inside the mounting pipe 52. The mounting pipe 52 is located inside the integrated housing 51. The ball valve 54 is installed between the mounting pipe 52 and the cleaning pipe 2 via a flange plate. When the dewaxing ball becomes blocked inside the cleaning pipe 2, a pressure difference appears between the two adjacent pressure sensors 53 at the blocked location. That is, the pressure value of the upstream pressure sensor 53 is greater than the pressure value of the downstream pressure sensor 53 when the dewaxing ball is blocked. Based on the data detected by the pressure sensor 53, the blocked part of the cleaning pipe 2 can be accurately disassembled and maintained.

[0029] Furthermore, the dimensions of the inner cavity of the ball valve 54 match the dimensions of the inner cavity of the cleaning pipe 2, and the dimensions of the inner cavity of the mounting pipe 52 also match the dimensions of the inner cavity of the cleaning pipe 2. Thus, the dewaxing ball operates under the same conditions inside the ball valve 54 and the mounting pipe 52 as it does inside the cleaning pipe 2. The ball valve 54 is equipped with a drive valve disc 55, and a locking hole is provided on one side of the drive valve disc 55. A locking rod 56 is slidably sleeved inside the locking hole, and one end of the locking rod 56 is connected to the integrated housing 51. Thus, when the integrated housing 51 is installed, the ball valve 54 can be locked by the locking rod 56 and the drive valve disc 55, thereby ensuring the stability of the ball valve 54 in the open position. When the blocked part of the cleaning pipe 2 is disassembled, the ball valve 54 can close the cleaning pipe 2 that is left in its original position.

[0030] Furthermore, the integrated housing 51 includes a top plate 511, a protective housing 512, and a side plate 513. The top plate 511 is installed on the outside of the cleaning pipe 2 via a flange plate. The protective housing 512 is slidably snapped onto the outside of the top plate 511, and a transparent plate is fixedly embedded on one side of the protective housing 512, allowing direct observation of the data on the pressure sensor 53. The pressure sensor 53 can also transmit data via wired or wireless means. Wired and wireless transmission of the pressure sensor 53 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The protective housing 512 has a U-shaped top view. Plate 513 is disposed on the front of protective housing 512. The end of locking rod 56 is fixedly connected to side plate 513. Positioning plate 515 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of protective housing 512. A docking frame 514 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the side of top plate 511 facing the inside of protective housing 512. The outer wall of positioning plate 515 is slidably sleeved with docking frame 514. A positioning groove corresponding to positioning plate 515 is opened on one side of side plate 513, so as to prevent side plate 513 from sliding up and down relative to protective housing 512 after installation. The docking frame 514 and positioning plate 515 are located on the side of ball valve 54.

[0031] In particular, a connecting plate 516 is slidably provided on one side of the side plate 513, and a connecting block 517 is symmetrically fixedly connected to one side of the connecting plate 516. A sliding hole matching the connecting block 517 is opened on one side of the side plate 513, and the sliding hole has a certain length, which is sufficient to allow the connecting block 517 to drive the positioning rod 518 to slide and separate from the docking frame 514. The positioning rod 518 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting block 517. The outer wall of the positioning rod 518 slides and inserts into the docking frame 514 and the positioning plate 515. The positioning rod 518 can not only lock and limit the positioning plate 515, so as to ensure the stability of the protective shell 512 locked to the outside of the top plate 511, but also lock and limit the side plate 513, so as to prevent the side plate 513 from moving away from the protective shell 512. And the two top plates 511, the protective shell 512 and the side plate 517 are used to lock and limit the side plate 513, preventing the side plate 513 from moving away from the protective shell 512. The integrated housing 51, consisting of 13 components, can protect the ball valve 54 and the pressure sensor 53. A fixing block 519 is fixedly connected to the other side of the side plate 513. A fixing rod 5110 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block 517 away from the positioning rod 518. The outer wall of the fixing rod 5110 is slidably inserted and sleeved with the fixing block 519. A positioning spring 5111 is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing rod 5110. The positioning spring 5111 is located between the fixing block 519 and the connecting block 517. The positioning spring 5111 can provide a spring force to the connecting block 517, so that the connecting block 517 drives the positioning rod 518 to maintain a stable snap-fit ​​state with the docking frame 514 and the positioning plate 515. The spring force of the positioning spring 5111 acting on the connecting block 517 is sufficient to support the weight of the connecting block 517, the connecting plate 516 and the positioning rod 518.

[0032] 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.
