Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe system or pipeline system technology, and in particular to a pipe dredging machine control component using a steel wire rope. Background Technology
[0002] In modern urban infrastructure maintenance and household pipe upkeep, pipe blockage is a common and troublesome problem. From severe blockages in municipal drainage networks caused by silt and garbage accumulation, to grease and food scraps in kitchens and hair, paper towels, and other debris in bathrooms, efficient unblocking tools are urgently needed. As the core equipment for solving such problems, the performance of pipe cleaning machines directly affects the efficiency and effectiveness of unblocking operations. The steel wire rope control component is the key part that determines whether the pipe cleaning machine can operate accurately and stably.
[0003] Traditional pipe cleaning machines often rely on manual pulling of the wire rope for control. Operators must hold the rope tightly throughout the process, relying on their own strength to control its movement in and out of the pipe. This method is not only extremely labor-intensive, leading to hand fatigue and even injury during prolonged operation, but also makes it difficult to accurately control the depth and force of the wire rope's movement. When encountering complex blockages, such as pipes with many bends or hard obstructions, manual operation cannot guarantee that the wire rope will successfully pass through the bends to reach the blockage point. In addition, improper force may cause the wire rope to break or the pipe to be damaged, thus reducing the equipment's practicality. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a control component for a steel wire rope used in a pipe dredging machine. This component solves the problem of manually pulling the steel wire rope, which requires the operator to hold the rope tightly throughout the operation and control its movement in and out of the pipe by their own strength. This method is not only extremely labor-intensive, and prolonged operation can easily lead to hand fatigue or even injury for the operator, but it is also difficult to accurately control the pushing depth and force of the steel wire rope. When encountering more complex blockage situations, such as pipes with many bends or hard blockages, manual operation cannot guarantee that the steel wire rope will pass through the bends smoothly to reach the blockage point. It may also cause the steel wire rope to break or the pipe to be damaged due to improper force, thereby reducing the practicality of the equipment.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pipe dredging machine control assembly using a steel wire rope, comprising a pipe dredging machine body, a support frame, and a support plate, wherein a telescopic assembly is provided on the support plate;
[0006] The telescopic assembly includes a swivel handle, an aluminum connector, a movable bearing housing, an M4 screw, an aluminum handle, and a spring pin. The lower outer wall of the movable bearing housing is fixedly installed inside a groove on the upper surface of the protrusion on the aluminum handle. The lower outer wall of the swivel handle is connected to the internal thread of the aluminum connector.
[0007] The aluminum connector is fixedly installed on the upper outer wall of the movable bearing seat, and two first bearings are fixedly installed inside one end of the aluminum handle. The second bearing is installed inside the groove at the lower end of the movable bearing seat through the cooperation of elastic pin and M4 screw.
[0008] Preferably, the support plate is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the front base of the main body of the pipe cleaning machine, and the lower end of the support frame is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support plate by bolts;
[0009] A cleaning cylinder is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the end of the support frame away from the support plate.
[0010] Preferably, a sliding block is slidably connected inside the arc-shaped groove on the outer wall of the cleaning cylinder, and a cleaning component is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sliding block;
[0011] The cleaning component consists of a brush and a support, with two protrusions fixedly connected to the upper outer wall of the cleaning cylinder.
[0012] Preferably, the outer walls of both protrusions are provided with T-shaped block grooves, and the interiors of both T-shaped block grooves are provided with fixing bolt grooves;
[0013] Among them, the outer walls of the four T-shaped blocks at the upper end of the sliding block are slidably connected to the interior of the corresponding T-shaped block grooves.
[0014] Preferably, the cleaning cylinder is used in conjunction with the telescopic assembly;
[0015] The four T-shaped blocks on the sliding block are all threaded with fixing bolts on their outer walls.
[0016] Preferably, the ends of the four fixing bolts near the fixing bolt slots are all threaded into the interior of the T-shaped block slot and respectively connected to the internal threads of the corresponding fixing bolt slots;
[0017] The cleaning cylinder has a feed inlet and a discharge outlet at both ends.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0019] 1. This pipe cleaning machine uses a wire rope control assembly. The wire rope, after exiting the discharge port of the cleaning cylinder, enters directly into the aluminum handle, located between two first bearings. The rolling motion of the first bearings reduces friction between the wire rope and the aluminum handle. The wire rope then passes through a second bearing. The second and first bearings work together to ensure smooth linear movement or angle adjustment of the wire rope during extension and retraction. When adjusting the extension length of the wire rope, the operator rotates the handle. Due to the threaded connection between the handle and the aluminum connector, the rotation of the handle is converted into linear movement of the movable bearing seat, thereby driving the overall extension and retraction of the wire rope. This allows for pipe cleaning at different depths, avoiding the need for manual pulling of the wire rope and effectively improving the practicality and reliability of the equipment.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a pipe cleaning machine control component for a pipe cleaning wire rope, including a pipe cleaning machine body 1, a support frame 10 and a support plate 11;
[0031] A telescopic assembly is provided on the support plate 11;
[0032] The telescopic assembly includes a plum blossom handle 2, an aluminum connector 3, a movable bearing seat 4, an M4 screw 5, an aluminum handle 6, and a spring pin 8. The lower outer wall of the movable bearing seat 4 is fixedly installed inside the groove on the upper surface of the protrusion on the aluminum handle 6. The lower outer wall of the plum blossom handle 2 is connected to the internal thread of the aluminum connector 3. The aluminum connector 3 is fixedly installed on the upper outer wall of the movable bearing seat 4. Two first bearings 9 are fixedly installed inside one end of the aluminum handle 6. The second bearing 7 is installed inside the groove at the lower end of the movable bearing seat 4 through the cooperation of the spring pin 8 and the M4 screw 5.
[0033] The support plate 11 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the front base of the main body 1 of the pipe cleaning machine. The lower end of the support frame 10 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the support plate 11 by bolts. A cleaning cylinder 12 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the end of the support frame 10 away from the support plate 11. A sliding block 15 is slidably connected inside the arc-shaped groove opened on the outer wall of the cleaning cylinder 12. A cleaning component 16 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the sliding block 15. The cleaning component 16 consists of a brush and a bracket. Two protrusions 13 are fixedly connected to the upper outer wall of the cleaning cylinder 12. The outer walls of the two protrusions 13 are each opened with a T-shaped groove. The two T-shaped block grooves 14 each have a fixing bolt groove 18 inside. The outer walls of the four T-shaped blocks on the upper end of the sliding block 15 are slidably connected to the interior of the corresponding T-shaped block groove 14. The cleaning cylinder 12 is used in conjunction with the telescopic component. The outer walls of the four T-shaped blocks on the sliding block 15 are threaded with fixing bolts 17. The ends of the four fixing bolts 17 near the fixing bolt groove 18 are threaded into the interior of the T-shaped block groove 14 and are threadedly connected to the interior of the corresponding fixing bolt groove 18. The front and rear ends of the cleaning cylinder 12 are provided with a feed port and a discharge port.
[0034] Furthermore, when using this device, the operator first inserts the wire rope through the feed inlet of the cleaning cylinder 12. The wire rope moves axially inside the cleaning cylinder 12. At this time, the position of the cleaning component 16 can be adjusted by the sliding block 15 so that the brush is aligned with the surface of the wire rope for cleaning. After the wire rope exits from the discharge outlet of the cleaning cylinder 12, it directly enters the aluminum handle 6, located between the two first bearings 9. The rolling of the first bearings 9 reduces the friction between the wire rope and the aluminum handle 6. Then the wire rope continues to pass through the second bearing 7. The second bearing 7 and the first bearing 9 work together to ensure that the wire rope maintains smooth linear movement or angle adjustment during extension and retraction. Then, when it is necessary to adjust the extension length of the wire rope, the operator rotates the plum blossom handle 2. Due to the threaded connection between the plum blossom handle 2 and the aluminum connector 3, the rotation of the plum blossom handle 2 is converted into the linear movement of the movable bearing seat 4, which in turn drives the wire rope to extend and retract as a whole, realizing the dredging operation at different depths of the pipeline. At the same time, during the extension and retraction of the wire rope, the brush of the cleaning component 16 continuously cleans the surface of the wire rope, removing oil stains, debris, etc., to prevent these impurities from entering the pipeline or affecting the service life of the wire rope. Then, if it is necessary to disassemble the cleaning component 16, the fixing bolt 17 can be loosened and the sliding block 15 can be slid to remove the cleaning component 16 from the cleaning cylinder 12.
[0035] After the steel wire rope in the telescopic assembly exits from the discharge port of the cleaning cylinder 12, it directly enters the aluminum handle 6 and is located between the two first bearings 9. The rolling of the first bearings 9 reduces the friction between the steel wire rope and the aluminum handle 6. Then the steel wire rope continues to pass through the second bearing 7. The second bearing 7 and the first bearing 9 work together to ensure that the steel wire rope maintains smooth linear movement or angle adjustment during the telescopic process. When it is necessary to adjust the extension length of the steel wire rope, the operator rotates the plum blossom handle 2. Due to the threaded connection between the plum blossom handle 2 and the aluminum connector 3, the rotation of the plum blossom handle 2 is converted into the linear movement of the movable bearing seat 4, which in turn drives the overall telescopic movement of the steel wire rope, realizing the dredging operation at different depths of the pipeline. This avoids the method of manually pulling the steel wire rope directly, effectively improving the practicality and reliability of the equipment.

[0043] Movable bearing housing 4 and second bearing 7: The wire rope continues to extend, passing through the inner ring of the second bearing 7. The second bearing 7 is fixed in the groove at the lower end of the movable bearing housing 4 by elastic pin 8 and M4 screw 5, providing further support and flexible rotation conditions for the wire rope.
[0044] Aluminum connector 3 and plum blossom handle 2: The upper end of the movable bearing seat 4 is threadedly connected to the plum blossom handle 2 via aluminum connector 3.
