Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cleaning tool technology, and in particular relates to a sewer unclogging device. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and housing conditions, more and more people live in high-rise buildings, resulting in an increase in the number of pipes laid. This has led to the problem of sewage discharge from daily life and production. However, the drain cleaning equipment on the market is not entirely satisfactory in practice. When the blockage is far from the drain or the drain pipe diameter is large, the equipment cannot effectively solve the problem. This is because when the blockage is far from the drain or the pipe diameter is large, the air pressure is reduced when the air reaches the blockage through the drain, thus failing to achieve the desired effect. Moreover, if the blockage is very tight, the air will move in the opposite direction upon reaching the blockage, causing water or air in the pipe to spray out through the drain or other openings. While this is manageable with just washing water, it can cause significant splashing of excrement or harmful liquids, resulting in unnecessary damage. Therefore, there is an urgent need for equipment that can solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0041] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0042] To better understand the purpose, structure, and function of this utility model, a more detailed description of this utility model is provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0043] See appendix Figure 1-5 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, it includes:

[0044] Gas cylinder 1, wherein the gas cylinder 1 has an internal cavity, and the shape of the gas cylinder 1 is cylindrical, spherical, irregular, etc., which is not limited here;

[0045] The adapter 2 is located on the top of the gas tank 1 and communicates with the receiving cavity. It is provided with a first connecting end 201, a second connecting end 202, a third connecting end 203 and a fourth connecting end 205.

[0046] In other words, the adapter component 2 is a modular structure, including:

[0047] A five-way connector is provided on the top of the gas tank 1, which communicates with the receiving cavity. It is provided with a first connecting end 201, a second connecting end 202, a third connecting end 203 and a fourth connecting end 205; wherein, valves are provided on the second connecting end 202 and the fourth connecting end 205.

[0048] To elaborate further, the five-way connector is a hollow square tube structure with threaded holes on the bottom, left, right, and top. It is a connector used to connect the pressure gauge (installed on the third connection end 203), the air valve (installed on the second connection end 202), the air tank 1, the air nozzle (installed on the first connection end 201), and the safety valve (installed on the fourth connection end 205). The connection positions of the air nozzle (installed on the first connection end 201), the air valve (installed on the second connection end 202), the pressure gauge (installed on the third connection end 203), the safety valve (installed on the fourth connection end 205), and the air tank 1 on the five-way connector can be interchanged without affecting the use of the equipment. The safety valve (installed on the fourth connection end 205) is a safety device. When the pressure of the air tank 1 exceeds the rated pressure, the safety valve (installed on the fourth connection end 205) opens to release the air in the air tank 1 to the outside. When the pressure does not exceed the rated pressure, the safety valve (installed on the fourth connection end 205) closes.

[0049] A pressure gauge (i.e. installed at the third connection end 203) is located on the third connection end of the bottom connector and is in communication with the receiving cavity and the interior of the bottom connector. It is used to display the gas pressure value inside the bottom connector and the receiving cavity.

[0050] The air pumping component 3 has an outlet end 302 connected to the first connection end 201 of the adapter component 2.

[0051] It should be noted that the air pumping component 3 is a modular structure, including:

[0052] An air pump 301, wherein the air pump 301 is provided with an air outlet at the bottom;

[0053] The first air guide tube 302 has one end connected to the air outlet of the air pump 301 and the other end connected to the first connecting end 201. The first connecting end 201 can be connected to the air pump or the electric air pump.

[0054] Among them, the air pump 301 adopts the household air pump 301; it has a modular structure, including a cylinder, upper and lower sealing caps, optical shaft, piston, check valve, air hose, screw, and foot pedal.

[0055] The cylinder is fitted with sealing covers on the top and bottom, and the cylinder and sealing covers are fixed together by screws.

[0056] The upper sealing cover has a circular hole in the middle, through which the optical axis passes. A piston is installed below the optical axis, and a handle is installed above the optical axis.

[0057] The lower sealing cover is equipped with a gas stop valve, and the gas stop valve is equipped with an air pipe and a nozzle.

[0058] The first air guiding component 4 has a connector on one end that is connected to the second connecting end 202 of the adapter component 2. 401 is an air tube used for air passage.

[0059] The second air guiding component 5 has one end connected to the second connecting end 202 of the adapter component 2, and an air valve is installed on this end of the air guiding component 5. The other end is connected to the air cylinder 402. The air cylinder 402 is connected to the other end of the air guiding component 5 through an air pipe. The air cylinder 402 is an elastic shut-off device used to shut off the flow at both ends. Both ends of the air cylinder 402 are fixed together with the tail end of the air pipe 401. The component 5 has an air pipe that communicates with the air cylinder 402.

[0060] The third air guiding component includes an adapter 403, which is connected to the second connecting end 202 via a connecting pipe. It is provided with an air vent 404 and a plug 405 at the end of the air vent 404.

[0061] The plug 405 has a hollow structure in the middle, and a universal flange joint is installed inside. The universal flange joint is connected to the vent pipe, and the universal flange joint and the plug 405 are slidably connected.

[0062] The plug 405 has a hemispherical structure and is made of elastic material.

[0063] The plug 405 is connected to the vent pipe 404. The plug 405 has a hollow structure in the middle and a universal swing flange joint is installed at one end. The joint is a hollow tube with external threads, which is a pre-embedded part installed at one end of the plug 405. The universal flange of the plug 405 is wrapped with a hemispherical elastic material. The vent pipe 404 is connected to the conversion joint 403. The vent pipe 404 consists of two threaded metal pipes of different lengths, which can be separated for use in different places. The conversion joint 403 is connected to 202 on the gas tank 1 through a gas pipe.

[0064] Example 1

[0065] See appendix Figure 1-14As shown in the embodiment of this application, during use, the first air guide tube 302 is connected to the air pump 301 and the first connecting end 201 of the five-way connector. The air valve on the second connecting end 202 is closed, and air is pumped into the air tank 1 through the air pump 301. During the pumping process, the pressure gauge (i.e., installed on the third connecting end 203) is observed. When the value displayed by the pressure gauge (i.e., installed on the third connecting end 203) reaches the predetermined value, the pumping is stopped, and the pressure gauge (i.e., installed on the third connecting end 203) is observed again. If the value of the pressure gauge (i.e., installed on the third connecting end 203) decreases, it indicates that there is a leak at the connection point. It is necessary to check which part is leaking and solve the leak problem before use. If the value of the pressure gauge (i.e., installed on the third connecting end 203) remains unchanged, it indicates that there is no leak at the connection point between the air tank 1, the air valve, the pressure gauge (i.e., installed on the third connecting end 203), the air nozzle and the safety valve (i.e., installed on the fourth connecting end 205) and the distributor. Figure 6 As shown;

[0066] Connect the second air guide component 5 to the second connecting end 202 of the five-way connector and open it to create a passage between the second air guide component 5 and the five-way connector, allowing the gas inside the gas tank 1 to enter the second air guide component 5 and inflate the gas cylinder 402. During this process, observe the pressure gauge (installed on the third connecting end 203). If the pressure gauge reading decreases, it indicates that the gas cylinder 402 is leaking and the leak needs to be resolved before use. If, after a period of time, the pressure gauge reading remains unchanged, it indicates that the gas cylinder 402 is not leaking. At this point, close the valve on the second air guide component 5 and the second connecting end 202 to separate the second air guide component 5 from the five-way connector. Figure 7 As shown;

[0067] When the sewer is blocked, insert the first air guide pipe 401, the second air guide component 5, and the air cylinder 402 into the sewer through the sewer inlet. Note that the air cylinder 402 is empty at this time. When the first air guide pipe 401 can no longer move forward, it indicates that the first air guide pipe 401 is close to the blockage. Figure 9 As shown;

[0068] At this point, connect the second connecting end 202 and the second air guiding component 5, ensuring both are in a closed-circuit state. The air tank 1 begins inflating the air cylinder 402. When the pressure gauge (installed on the third connecting end 203) stops changing, it indicates that the air pressure in the air tank 1 and the air cylinder 402 is the same. Then, close the air valve on the second connecting end 202 and the air valve on the second air guiding component 5, thus disconnecting the air tank 1 and the air cylinder 402. Next, remove the second air guiding component 5 from the second connecting end 202. At this point, the air cylinder 402 is fully inflated and in close contact with the inner wall of the sewer, isolating both ends of the sewer. A sealed space is then formed between the air cylinder 402 and the blockage. Figure 10 As shown;

[0069] Next, connect the first air guide pipe 401 to the second connecting end 202, and open the valve of the second connecting end 202. At this time, the air in the air tank 1 begins to flow through the first air guide pipe 401 to the closed area between the air cylinder 402 and the blockage. As the air pressure between the air cylinder 402 and the blockage increases, the blockage cannot withstand the excessive air pressure and is dispersed. At this point, the sewer is no longer blocked. Figure 11 As shown;

[0070] Next, close the second connection end 202, and then open the valve of the second air guide component 5 to allow the air in the air cylinder 402 to flow out from the valve. At this time, the air cylinder 402 returns to its original state, as shown below. Figure 12 As shown;

[0071] Then remove the second air guide component 5, the air cylinder 402, and the air guide pipe 401 of the first air guide component from the drain outlet. Then drain the water to allow the dispersed blockage to flow into the main drain pipe, completing the unblocking work.

[0072] Example 2

[0073] When the toilet bowl, sink drain pipe, or floor drain is blocked, connect the third air guide component. Connect the adapter 403 to the second connection end 202 via the air pipe. The switch of the second connection end 202 is in the closed state. If the air pressure inside the air tank 1 is insufficient, connect the first air guide pipe 302 to the first connection end 201, and then inflate the air tank 1 using the air pump 301. When the pressure gauge (installed on the third connection end 203) shows that the predetermined air pressure value has been reached, stop inflating. Then, align the plug 405 with the toilet drain, sink drain, or floor drain, and press the plug 405 firmly against the drain. Since the plug 405 is an elastic material... The material, through pressure, can be forced into close contact with the inner wall of the toilet bowl or sink drain, thus isolating the inside of the toilet or sink drain from the outside. This creates a sealed space between the blockage and the plug 405. Then, the valve at the second connection end 202 is opened, allowing air to flow into the sealed space. As the air pressure increases, the blockage cannot withstand the pressure and is flushed away into the sewer. The valve at the second connection end 202 is then closed, and the plug 405 is removed from the toilet bowl. Next, water is flushed from the toilet tank, causing the dispersed blockage to flow into the main drainpipe, completing the unblocking process. Figure 13 As shown;

[0074] Example 3

[0075] When the blockage is in the drainpipe below the toilet, and the procedure in Example 2 fails to effectively remove the blockage from the drain outlet above the toilet, an air hose can be added in front of the plug 405. The air hose is fixed to the plug 405, and then inserted into the drainpipe through the S-bend of the toilet drain. When it can no longer be extended forward, it indicates that it is close to the blockage. Then, repeat the procedure in Example 2. This method is more effective in specifically clearing the drain. Figure 14 As shown;

[0076] The technical effects achieved by the above technical solution in the embodiments of this application are as follows:

[0077] When the blockage is far from the drain opening or the drain pipe diameter is large, commercially available devices cannot effectively solve the problem. This is because when the blockage is far from the drain or the pipe diameter is large, there is water or air inside the drain pipe, and a sealed space is not formed. When using these devices, the air pressure is reduced when the gas reaches the blockage through the sewer. Moreover, if the blockage is very tight, the gas will move in the opposite direction when it reaches the blockage. This reverse movement will cause water or air in the pipe to spray out through the drain opening or other openings. If it's just water for washing, that's fine. But if it's excrement or harmful liquid, it will splash over a large area, causing unnecessary damage. This device solves the above problem well because it adds an air cylinder 402, which creates an independent, closed space between the air cylinder 402 and the blockage. This allows the gas in the air tank 1 to be fully released between the blockage and the air cylinder 402, creating sufficient pressure between them. The strong air pressure is enough to break up the blockage and clear the pipe.
