Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline cleaning technology, and in particular to an oily pipeline cleaning vehicle. Background Technology
[0002] Oil sludge pipes are a type of piping system specifically designed for discharging wastewater containing oil. They are commonly used in kitchens, restaurants, food processing plants, and other similar locations. During use, grease, food residue, and other impurities gradually accumulate inside the pipes, especially at the outlet. Due to slower flow rates and changes in pipe structure, these deposits tend to accumulate more easily. Accumulated dirt at the outlet of the oil sludge pipe can lead to a series of problems, such as pipe blockage, poor drainage, and odor emissions. This not only affects the normal use of the kitchen but may also negatively impact the sanitary environment.
[0003] Research revealed that most existing cleaning methods involve manual cleaning by hand tools. Since oil and food residue often form stubborn deposits in pipes, manual cleaning is difficult to remove quickly and effectively, resulting in long cleaning cycles. Furthermore, during manual cleaning, operators may come into contact with toxic and harmful substances such as bacteria and mold, increasing health risks. In addition, manual cleaning often fails to reach the dirt deep inside the pipes.
[0004] Therefore, in response to the above problems, the applicant proposes an oil-contaminated pipeline cleaning vehicle to solve the problem. Utility Model Content

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an oily pipe cleaning vehicle, including a vehicle platform, a water tank installed on the top of the vehicle platform, a water pump installed on the top of the water tank, and the water pump connected to a cleaning section through a long pipe. The cleaning section includes a pipe head connected to the long pipe, and a turbine is rotatably installed inside the annular frame inside the pipe head. The axle of the turbine passes through the pipe head and is also rotatably connected. Four cleaning arms are installed on the part of the axle that passes through, and the ends of the cleaning arms are provided with brushes. Fixed pipes are installed on the four sides of the pipe head, and the fixed pipes are all installed inside the annular pipe, and a row of inclined nozzles is provided on the annular pipe.
[0007] Preferably, the axle passes through the tube head portion and has two fixed locking blocks at both ends and is fitted with a round sleeve. The round sleeve has a locking groove inside that corresponds to the locking block, and the cleaning arm is evenly fixed to the outer wall of the round sleeve.
[0008] Preferably, the end of the axle that passes through the tube head is connected to a threaded rod through a threaded hole. The head of the threaded rod contacts and holds the sleeve in place, while the other end of the sleeve abuts against a ring block fixed to the outer wall of the axle.
[0009] Preferably, the cleaning arm has a cavity design and an opening on one side of the cavity. A connecting arm is inserted into the opening, and the connecting arm is fixed to the cleaning arm by a positioning bolt. A brush is fixed to one side of the connecting arm.
[0010] Preferably, the water pump is equipped with a water outlet pipe at its outlet end, and the long pipe is designed in an "L" shape. The upper end of the long pipe is inserted into the bottom of the water outlet pipe to form a sliding connection. The horizontal part of the long pipe is fixed on the lifting block, and the bottom of the lifting block is connected to the vehicle plate by a lifting cylinder.
[0011] Preferably, the lifting block has sliders on both sides, and the sliders slide up and down inside the U-shaped frame, which is fixed to the top of the vehicle platform.

[0013] Compared with related technologies, the oil pipeline cleaning vehicle provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] This utility model provides an oily pipe cleaning vehicle. By designing an automated cleaning device including components such as a water pump, a long pipe, a turbine-driven brush, and an adjustable-height cleaning section, it effectively solves the problems of long cleaning cycles, high health risks, and difficulty in reaching deep dirt in existing manual oily pipe cleaning. The high-speed water flow generated by the water pump is used to flush the inner wall of the pipe, while the turbine is driven to rotate by the water flow, which drives the brush to physically scrub the inner wall of the pipe, thus achieving rapid and effective removal of stubborn deposits such as oil and food residue.
[0015] In addition, the height of the cleaning unit can be adjusted by lifting cylinders to adapt to oily pipes of different heights, ensuring that the brushes are in close contact with the inner wall of the pipe, which further improves the cleaning effect and efficiency, while also avoiding direct contact between operators and toxic and harmful substances, thus reducing health risks.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Example 1, by Figures 1-7 The present invention includes a vehicle platform 1, a water tank 11 installed on the top of the vehicle platform 1, a water pump 12 installed on the top of the water tank 11, and the water pump 12 connected to the cleaning section 2 through a long pipe 14. The cleaning section 2 includes a pipe head 21 connected to the long pipe 14. A turbine 22 is rotatably installed on the inner side of the annular frame inside the pipe head 21. The axle 23 of the turbine 22 passes through the pipe head 21 and is also rotatably connected. Four cleaning arms 24 are installed on the part of the axle 23 that passes through. The cleaning arms 24 are provided with brushes 25 at their ends. Fixed pipes 26 are installed on the four sides of the pipe head 21. The fixed pipes 26 are all installed inside the annular pipe 27, and a row of inclined nozzles is provided on the annular pipe 27.
[0026] With the design of the cleaning section 2, when this device is in operation, the water tank 11 is filled with clean water and then the cleaning solution is introduced and mixed. Afterwards, the platform 1 is pushed to a suitable position, the filter element at the outlet of the pipe to be cleaned is removed, and the outer end of the axle 23 is inserted into the pipe to be cleaned. At this time, the brush 25 is in close contact with the inner wall of the pipe, while the ring pipe 27 can be outside the pipe, hence the inclined water spray design. Then, the water pump 12 is started to pump water, and the cleaning solution is transported through the long pipe 14 to the pipe head 21, and then introduced into the ring pipe 27 through the fixed pipe 26, and sprayed out from the inclined nozzle. The high-speed water flow impacts the inside of the pipe. The wall is rinsed, and the impact point is exactly where the brush 25 contacts the pipe wall and the surrounding area before and after it, washing away oil and impurities. Simultaneously, the impact of the water flow will drive the turbine 22 and its axle 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the brush 25 of the four cleaning arms 24 to rotate, strengthening the cleaning and brushing off some sticky solid impurities. Then, the vehicle plate 1 is periodically pushed, step by step into the inside of the pipe until the limit length of the long pipe 14 is reached, thus completing the comprehensive cleaning of the inner wall area near the pipe opening. After that, the remaining pipes can be cleaned.
[0027] The axle 23 passes through the tube head 21 and is fixed at both ends with locking blocks 28 and sleeves 210. The sleeves 210 have grooves corresponding to the locking blocks 28 inside. The cleaning arm 24 is evenly fixed on the outer wall of the sleeves 210. The end of the axle 23 that passes through the tube head 21 is connected to a threaded rod 29 through a threaded hole. The head of the threaded rod 29 contacts the sleeves 210 and holds it in place. The other end of the sleeves 210 abuts against the ring block fixed on the outer wall of the axle 23. The cleaning arm 24 is designed with a cavity and has an opening on one side. A connecting arm 211 is inserted into the opening. The connecting arm 211 is fixed to the cleaning arm 24 by positioning bolts 212. A brush 25 is fixed on one side of the connecting arm 211.
[0028] Furthermore, in terms of installation optimization design, the brush 25 needs to be replaced regularly. Therefore, during installation, the round sleeve 210 is fitted onto the outer end of the wheel axle 23. Then, the threaded rod 29 is inserted from the threaded hole on one side of the wheel axle 23. The rod head of the threaded rod 29 and the ring block fixed to the outer wall of the wheel axle 23 abut against both sides of the round sleeve 210 and are engaged by the locking block 28. Therefore, when the wheel axle 23 is driven to rotate by the water flow, it can drive the cleaning arm 24 and the brush 25 to rotate. Finally, the connecting arm 211 is connected and fixed to the cleaning arm 24 through a plug-in installation, which is very convenient and easy to disassemble, which is beneficial for later maintenance.
[0029] Example 2, see Figures 1-3The water pump 12 is equipped with a water outlet pipe 13, and the long pipe 14 is designed in an "L" shape. The upper end of the long pipe 14 is inserted into the bottom of the water outlet pipe 13 to form a sealed sliding connection. The horizontal part of the long pipe 14 is fixed on the lifting block 15. The bottom of the lifting block 15 is connected to the vehicle plate 1 by a lifting cylinder 16. There are sliders on both sides of the lifting block 15, and the sliders slide up and down inside the U-shaped frame 17. The U-shaped frame 17 is fixed to the top of the vehicle plate 1.
[0030] Through the above structural design, in order to adapt to cleaning operations on oily pipes of different heights, this utility model also incorporates a flexible adjustment mechanism. Driven by the lifting cylinder 16, the lifting block 15 can precisely adjust the long pipe 14 and its connected cleaning section 2 in the vertical direction of the water outlet pipe 13. When dealing with oily pipes of different heights, the operator only needs to control the extension and retraction of the lifting cylinder 16 to bring the long pipe 14 and its end cleaning section 2 to the optimal cleaning position, ensuring that the brush 25 is in close contact with the inner wall of the pipe, thereby improving the cleaning effect. The sliders on both sides of the lifting block 15 cooperate with the slide rails on the inner side of the U-shaped frame 17, which not only ensures the stability of the lifting process but also restricts the horizontal movement of the long pipe 14, enhancing the stability of the structure. This design makes the entire cleaning device safer and more reliable when adjusting the height, and also facilitates precise control by the operator.
[0031] The joint between the long tube 14 and the tube head 21 is designed with a shrink-fit opening.
[0032] Finally, the constriction design at the junction of the long pipe 14 and the pipe head 21 is intended to accelerate the water flow and enhance the cleaning effect. When the cleaning fluid is pressurized by the water pump 12 and flows from the outlet pipe 13 into the long pipe 14, and then enters the pipe head 21 through the constriction, the water flow velocity is significantly increased due to the sudden reduction in the cross-sectional area of the flow channel, forming a high-speed jet. This high-speed jet not only has a stronger flushing force, which can more effectively flush down the oil and impurities on the inner wall of the pipe, but also allows the turbine 22 to overcome resistance and rotate effectively due to the increased water flow velocity.
[0033] Working principle: First, prepare according to the installation method of the brush. The brush 25 is installed on the cleaning arm 24 by plugging in the connecting arm 211 and fixed by the positioning bolt 212. The cleaning arm 24 is evenly fixed on the outer wall of the sleeve 210. The sleeve 210 is fitted on the outer end of the wheel axle 23 and is engaged with the wheel axle 23 by the threaded rod 29, so that when the wheel axle 23 rotates, it can drive the cleaning arm 24 and the brush 25 to rotate together.
[0034] Next, the height of the oily pipe is adjusted according to the height of the pipe. By controlling the extension and retraction of the lifting cylinder 16, the lifting block 15 drives the long pipe 14 and its connected cleaning part 2 to make precise adjustments in the vertical direction until the cleaning part 2 reaches the optimal cleaning position, ensuring that the brush 25 is in close contact with the inner wall of the pipe. The sliders on both sides of the lifting block 15 cooperate with the slide rails on the inner side of the U-shaped frame 17 to ensure the smoothness of the lifting process and the stability of the structure.
[0035] Finally, the cleaning operation is carried out. The water tank 11 is filled with clean water and the cleaning solution is mixed in. The water pump 12 is started to pump water. The cleaning solution flows into the long pipe 14 through the outlet pipe 13, and then accelerates through the constriction port before entering the pipe head 21. The high-speed jet is sprayed out from the inclined nozzle on the ring pipe 27 to rinse the inner wall of the pipe. At the same time, the impact point and the position where the brush 25 contacts the pipe wall and the surrounding area before and after it washes away the oil and impurities. The impact of the water flow also drives the turbine 22 and its axle 23 to rotate, which in turn drives the brush 25 to rotate, enhancing the cleaning effect. The operator can periodically push the platform 1 to push the cleaning section 2 step by step into the pipe until the cleaning is completed.
