Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waterworks pipeline network testing technology, and in particular to a waterworks pipeline network testing structure. Background Technology
[0002] In modern urban water supply systems, the safe and stable operation of waterworks networks is crucial. As cities continue to expand, the length and complexity of water supply networks continue to increase. This makes network inspection a key link in ensuring water quality and safety. Timely and accurate inspection of network conditions can effectively prevent problems such as pipe ruptures and leaks, reduce water waste, and avoid adverse effects on residents' lives and urban operations. Inspection agencies are equipped with in-pipe inspection equipment to directly observe the internal condition of pipes, such as whether there are cracks or corrosion.
[0003] However, the existing waterworks pipeline inspection structure has a significant flaw: the in-pipe inspection equipment generally lacks a pipe wall cleaning mechanism. During long-term use, impurities easily accumulate on the inner wall of water pipes, including scale, rust, and adhering substances formed by microbial growth. When the in-pipe inspection equipment enters the pipeline for inspection, these impurities on the pipe wall will severely obstruct the observation view. For example, when using a camera for in-pipe inspection, impurities covering the pipe wall may obscure some pipeline defects, making it impossible to obtain a clear image. This makes it difficult for inspectors to accurately judge the condition of the pipeline, greatly reducing the inspection effect, increasing the risk of missed detections, and posing a potential threat to the safe operation of the pipeline network. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the problem that the existing waterworks pipeline inspection structure lacks a pipe wall cleaning mechanism, resulting in poor inspection effect and easy obstruction of observation by impurities on the pipe wall, this utility model provides a waterworks pipeline inspection structure.
[0005] The technical solution is as follows: a waterworks pipeline inspection structure, including a support column, a cleaning brush, a pipe wall support assembly, a hoisting base, and a monitoring assembly; both the upper and lower ends of the support column are equipped with a hoisting base and a cleaning brush; the lower end of the cleaning brush is equipped with a monitoring assembly; a pipe wall support assembly is installed on the outside of the support column; the support column and the hoisting base are bolted together.
[0006] The cleaning brush includes a cleaning brush and a buffer spring; the cleaning brush is arranged around the lower outer side of the support column; the buffer spring is arranged inside the center of the cleaning brush, and the upper end of the buffer spring is fixedly connected to the support column.
[0007] The monitoring components include a protective housing, a monitoring probe, and an observation hole; the monitoring probe is installed inside the buffer spring, and the upper end of the monitoring probe is fixedly connected to the support column.
[0008] Furthermore, the monitoring probe is equipped with a protective shell, and the cleaning brush is fixedly connected to the protective shell by bolts.
[0009] Furthermore, the lower end of the buffer spring is fixedly connected to the protective shell.
[0010] Furthermore, observation holes are provided on all four sides of the protective casing, and the observation holes are fixedly connected to the protective casing.
[0011] Furthermore, the pipe wall support assembly includes a first support rod, a second support rod, and a pipe wall roller; the first support rod is provided on the outside of the support column, and the first support rod is rotatably connected to the support column.
[0012] Furthermore, a second support rod is provided above the first support rod, and the two ends of the second support rod are respectively rotatably connected to the outer shell of the support column and rotatably connected to the inner center of the first support rod.
[0013] Furthermore, a pipe wall roller is provided at one end of the first support rod, and the pipe wall roller is rotatably connected to the first support rod.
[0014] The beneficial effects are as follows: In the process of waterworks pipeline network inspection, after the device enters the pipeline, the pipe wall roller at one end of the first support rod works in conjunction with the second support rod. The pipe wall roller is in close contact with the inner wall of the pipeline, while the second support rod provides stable support from the other side, forming a stable three-point support structure. When the device is lifting and lowering inside the pipeline, the pipe wall roller rolls along the pipe wall, transforming the original sliding friction between the device and the pipe wall into rolling friction, effectively reducing the resistance when the device moves. This rolling support method ensures that the support column always maintains a suitable distance from the pipe wall during movement, greatly improving the overall stability of the device during lifting and lowering inside the pipeline and avoiding damage to the device. The device collides with the pipe wall to prevent damage to the device or scratches the pipe wall. At the same time, the cleaning brush on the device will directly contact the pipe wall. As the device moves, the cleaning brush and the pipe wall will generate relative friction. Under the action of friction, the cleaning brush can effectively remove impurities, scale and other dirt attached to the pipe wall, thus achieving the cleaning function of the pipe wall. After cleaning, the surface of the pipe wall becomes clean and smooth, which creates good conditions for the operation of the monitoring probe. The monitoring probe can detect the pipe wall more clearly and accurately through the observation hole, avoiding the interference of dirt on the detection results, thereby greatly improving the detection effect inside the waterworks network and providing reliable data support for the maintenance and management of the network.
[0015] With the addition of a protective shell and a buffer spring, the protective shell protects the monitoring probe inside, while the buffer spring helps to absorb kinetic energy during a collision, protecting the monitoring probe from direct impact. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the waterworks pipeline inspection structure includes a support column 1, a cleaning brush 4, a pipe wall support assembly 2, a hoisting base 3, and a monitoring assembly 5; the upper and lower ends of the support column 1 are equipped with the hoisting base 3 and the cleaning brush 4; the lower end of the cleaning brush 4 is equipped with the monitoring assembly 5; the pipe wall support assembly 2 is installed on the outside of the support column 1; the support column 1 and the hoisting base 3 are bolted together.
[0025] The cleaning brush 4 includes a cleaning brush 401 and a buffer spring 402; the cleaning brush 401 is arranged around the lower outer side of the support column 1; the buffer spring 402 is arranged inside the center of the cleaning brush 401, and the upper end of the buffer spring 402 is fixedly connected to the support column 1.
[0026] The monitoring component 5 includes a protective housing 501, a monitoring probe 502, and an observation hole 503; the monitoring probe 502 is installed inside the buffer spring 402, and the upper end of the monitoring probe 502 is fixedly connected to the support column 1.
[0027] The monitoring probe 502 is provided with a protective housing 501, and the cleaning brush 401 is fixedly connected to the protective housing 501 by bolts.
[0028] The lower end of the buffer spring 402 is fixedly connected to the protective housing 501.
[0029] The protective housing 501 is provided with observation holes 503 on all four sides, and the observation holes 503 are fixedly connected to the protective housing 501.
[0030] The pipe wall support assembly 2 includes a first support rod 201, a second support rod 202, and a pipe wall roller 203; the first support rod 201 is provided on the outside of the support column 1, and the first support rod 201 is rotatably connected to the support column 1.
[0031] During the waterworks pipeline inspection process, after the device enters the pipeline, the pipe wall roller 203 at one end of the first support rod 201 works in conjunction with the second support rod 202. The pipe wall roller 203 is in close contact with the inner wall of the pipeline, while the second support rod 202 provides stable support from the other side, forming a stable three-point support structure. When the device is lifting and lowering inside the pipeline, the pipe wall roller 203 rolls along the pipe wall, transforming the original sliding friction between the device and the pipe wall into rolling friction. This effectively reduces the resistance during device movement. This rolling support method ensures that the support column 1 maintains a suitable distance from the pipe wall during movement, greatly improving the overall stability of the device during lifting and lowering within the pipeline and preventing the device from colliding with the pipe. The device avoids collisions with the pipe wall to prevent damage or scratches. Simultaneously, the cleaning brush 4 on the device directly contacts the pipe wall. As the device moves, the cleaning brush 4 generates relative friction with the pipe wall. Under the action of friction, the cleaning brush 4 effectively removes impurities, scale, and other dirt adhering to the pipe wall, achieving a cleaning function. The cleaned pipe wall surface becomes clean and smooth, creating favorable conditions for the operation of the monitoring probe 502. The monitoring probe 502 can more clearly and accurately detect the pipe wall through the observation hole 503, avoiding interference from dirt on the detection results. This greatly improves the detection effect inside the waterworks network and provides reliable data support for the maintenance and management of the network.
[0032] Example 2
[0033] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, a second support rod 202 is provided above the first support rod 201, and the two ends of the second support rod 202 are rotatably connected to the outer shell of the support column 1 and rotatably connected to the inner center of the first support rod 201, respectively.
[0034] One end of the first support rod 201 is provided with a pipe wall roller 203, and the pipe wall roller 203 is rotatably connected to the first support rod 201.
[0035] With the protective housing 501 and the buffer spring 402, the protective housing 501 is used to protect the monitoring probe 502 inside. The buffer spring 402 works together to realize the kinetic energy buffering function of the protective housing 501 when a collision occurs, protecting the monitoring probe 502 from direct impact.
