Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of underwater maintenance equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic extermination and cleaning device for marine organisms in underwater pipelines. Background Technology

[0002] Submersible pipelines are widely used in oil, natural gas, water supply, sewage disposal, and marine engineering. Living in the marine environment for extended periods, they are highly susceptible to infestation by marine organisms such as barnacles, shellfish, and algae. The large-scale attachment of these organisms to the pipeline surface not only affects transmission efficiency but can also lead to structural corrosion, flow blockage, and even equipment safety accidents. To ensure the normal operation and lifespan of underwater pipelines, there is an urgent need for a highly efficient, automated marine organism cleaning device suitable for complex marine environments. This device should replace traditional manual cleaning by divers or inefficient spraying equipment, improving cleaning efficiency and reducing human risks.

[0003] Currently, most common underwater pipe cleaning devices employ mechanical brush arms, high-pressure water guns, or ultrasonic cleaning technology. Mechanical brush arms rely on a set of fixed arms working in conjunction with brush rollers to perform contact scraping on the pipe surface. High-pressure water guns use fixed nozzles to concentrate high-pressure water jets onto the pipe surface, using water impact to peel off deposits. Some devices also incorporate propellers, floats, or tracked devices for movement and positioning in the underwater environment. While these devices achieve a certain level of cleaning functionality, they are typically designed to be fixed, limiting cleaning efficiency and coverage due to their structure, and also resulting in poor operational flexibility.

[0004] Existing underwater pipe cleaning devices are mostly fixed in structure and lack dimensional adaptability, making it difficult to flexibly adjust to underwater pipes of different diameters and specifications. This necessitates the customization or replacement of devices for each pipe specification, which not only increases operational complexity and manufacturing costs but also significantly limits the versatility and on-site operational efficiency of the devices, failing to meet the need for rapid and compatible cleaning of various types of underwater pipes. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides an automatic marine organism extermination and cleaning device for underwater pipelines. It aims to improve the existing structure, which is mostly fixed and lacks size self-adaptation capability. It is difficult to flexibly adjust according to underwater pipelines of different diameters and specifications, resulting in the need for customization or replacement of the equipment for different pipeline specifications during application.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automatic underwater pipeline marine organism extermination and cleaning device, comprising a body, a threaded rod threadedly connected to the inner wall of the body, and an adjustment component provided inside the body;

[0007] The adjustment assembly includes a fixing clamp located below the machine body. A fixing block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod. A sliding plate is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixing block. An arc-shaped sliding groove is formed inside the sliding plate.

A slide rail is slidably connected to the outer wall of the slider. The outer wall of the slider is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing clamp. A pulley is rotatably connected inside the fixing clamp.

[0008] Furthermore, a motor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the machine body, a gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, a connecting block is slidably connected to the lower surface of the machine body, a gear ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting block, an arc-shaped sliding groove is provided on one side of the inner wall of the gear ring, the gear meshes with the gear ring, a pulley is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting block, a high-pressure water gun is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting block, and a water pipe is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the high-pressure water gun.

[0009] Furthermore, a protective plate is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the machine body, and a cleaning disc is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the machine body.

[0010] Furthermore, one end of the threaded rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slide plate, and the slide plate is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slide rail.

[0011] Furthermore, the fixing block is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slide rail, and the fixing clamp is disposed below the slide rail.

[0012] Furthermore, the outer wall of the pulley is slidably connected to the inner wall of the toothed ring, and one end of the water pipe is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the machine body.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer wall of the gear is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting block, and the motor is positioned above the connecting block.

[0014] Furthermore, the slide rail is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the machine body, and the toothed ring is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the machine body.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. In this utility model, the fixed block and the slide plate are driven to slide by the threaded rod inside the machine body. With the help of the arc-shaped slide groove, connecting rod, slider and slide rail, the distance between the two fixed clamps can be adjusted, so that the device can be stably installed on the outer wall of pipes of different specifications. This can significantly improve the adaptability and versatility of the equipment, avoid frequent replacement of the device due to different pipe specifications, improve work efficiency and reduce the cost of use.

[0017] 2. In this utility model, the motor drives the gear and the gear ring to mesh, which drives the high-pressure water gun installed on the pulley to move along the arc track to achieve the flushing of the outer wall of the pipe. The high-pressure water gun continuously sprays water during the movement, which, together with the water wheel sliding mechanism, effectively expands the cleaning coverage area and reduces blind spots, thereby improving the removal efficiency of attached marine organisms. This structure is reliable in operation and cleans thoroughly, and is especially suitable for efficient automatic cleaning tasks in complex seabed environments, significantly enhancing the operational capability and engineering practicality of the device.

The outer wall of the slider 11 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing clamp 1. The fixing clamp 1 has a pulley 2 rotatably connected inside.

[0028] Reference Figures 1-5A motor 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the body 4. A gear 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 9. The gear 17 transmits the rotational power output by the motor 9 to the gear ring 14, thereby driving the water gun to rotate. A connecting block 18 is slidably connected to the lower surface of the body 4. A gear ring 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 18. An arc-shaped groove 20 is opened on one side of the inner wall of the gear ring 14. The gear 17 meshes with the gear ring 14. A pulley 19 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting block 18. The pulley 19 slides in cooperation with the arc-shaped groove 20 to support the high-pressure water gun 15 to run along the arc-shaped track of the gear ring 14. A high-pressure water gun 15 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the connecting block 18. A water pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the high-pressure water gun 15. One end of the water pipe 16 is connected to the high-pressure water gun 15, and the other end is connected to an external water source to continuously supply high-pressure water to the high-pressure water gun 15. A protective plate 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the body 4. A cleaning disc 6 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the body 4. One end of a threaded rod 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of a sliding plate 10. The sliding plate 10 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of a slide rail 7. A fixing block 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of a slide rail 7. A fixing clamp 1 is located below the slide rail 7. The outer wall of a pulley 19 is slidably connected to the inner wall of a gear ring 14. After the gear ring 14 meshes with the gear 17, it drives the high-pressure water gun 15 to achieve arc rotation under the drive of a motor 9. One end of a water pipe 16 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the body 4. The outer wall of a gear 17 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of a connecting block 18. The motor 9 is located above the connecting block 18.

The slide rail 7 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the body 4. The gear ring 14 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the body 4.

[0029] Working principle: When an automatic marine organism extermination and cleaning device for underwater pipes is needed, the device must first be fitted onto the outer wall of the pipe to ensure it fits snugly. When adjustment is required, a threaded rod 5 is installed inside the body 4, with a fixed block 8 threadedly connected to one end. A sliding plate 10 is connected to the lower surface of the fixed block 8. The sliding plate 10 has two arc-shaped sliding grooves 13, which, together with the connecting rod 12 and the slider 11, provide sliding guidance. The two sliders 11 are connected to two fixed clamps 1, which can clamp the outer wall of the pipe. By adjusting the threaded rod 5, the fixed block 8 is moved horizontally, thereby adjusting the distance between the two fixed clamps 1 through the slide rail 7 and the sliding assembly. This allows for clamping and fixing of underwater pipes of different diameters. The fixed device then moves along the outer wall of the pipe via the pulley 2 to clean the pipe. This structure can adapt to various pipe specifications, avoiding frequent device replacement and improving the equipment's versatility and efficiency.

[0030] In addition, after adjusting to the appropriate size, it is necessary to remove the attached substances on the outer wall of the pipe. To improve the removal effect on marine organisms, a motor 9 is installed inside the body 4. The output end of the motor 9 is connected to a gear 17, which meshes with a gear ring 14. An arc-shaped sliding groove 20 is opened on the inner wall of the gear ring 14. The high-pressure water gun 15 is connected to the pulley 19 through the connecting block 18 and slides along the gear ring 14 to achieve arc-shaped trajectory movement. The high-pressure water gun 15 is connected to an external water source through a water pipe 16 and can continuously spray high-pressure water during rotation to circumferentially rinse the outer wall of the pipe. This structure, through arc-shaped movement combined with high-pressure spray, effectively improves the cleaning coverage, reduces blind spots, improves the removal efficiency of marine organisms attached to the outer wall of the pipe, enhances the operation effect and applicability of the device, and adapts to the needs of complex and ever-changing underwater environments.
