Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of a cleaning device for water pipelines, and more particularly to a cleaning device for water pipelines. Background Technology
[0002] During the long-term operation of water systems, a large amount of dirt, impurities and sediments will inevitably accumulate inside the pipes. These pollutants will not only cause the pipe diameter to shrink and the water flow resistance to increase, affecting the efficiency of water supply or drainage, but may also breed bacteria, algae and other microorganisms, polluting the water quality and even causing problems such as pipe corrosion and blockage. In severe cases, it can lead to pipe rupture, increasing maintenance costs and the risk of water outages.
[0003] Currently, water pipeline cleaning operations mostly employ manual dredging or traditional mechanical methods. Manual dredging requires personnel to enter the pipeline, which is not only labor-intensive and operates in harsh environments, but is also difficult to implement on pipes with small diameters or those deeply buried underground, posing significant safety hazards. Traditional mechanical cleaning devices are typically simple in structure, have limited cleaning range, and are difficult to adapt to pipes of different diameters. They also lack flexibility in moving within the pipeline, especially in bends or pipes with changes in diameter, where they are prone to jamming or drifting, affecting the continuity and stability of the cleaning operation. Therefore, a water pipeline cleaning device is proposed to address these problems. Utility Model Content

[0009] A further improvement is that the connecting block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer end of the rotating shaft; the rotating shaft drives the connecting rod in the cleaning assembly to rotate synchronously through the connecting block; during the rotation of the connecting rod, the sleeve spring will generate a thrust on the slider, causing the slider to slide on the outer wall of the middle section of the connecting rod.
[0010] A further improvement is that the gear ring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the device housing, and the fixed sliding sleeve, support rod, roller and connecting spring are circumferentially arranged on the outer wall of the device housing; when the rotating shaft rotates, it will drive the sun gear to rotate, and the sun gear meshes with the planet gear, causing the planet gear to rotate in the gear ring.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Example 1: Manual dredging requires personnel to enter the pipeline, which is not only labor-intensive and operates in a harsh environment, but also difficult to implement on pipelines with small diameters or deep underground, posing significant safety hazards. Traditional mechanical dredging devices are typically simple in structure, have a limited cleaning range, and are difficult to adapt to pipelines of different diameters. Their mobility within the pipeline is also poor, especially in bends or pipelines with changes in diameter, where they are prone to jamming or drifting, affecting the continuity and stability of the dredging operation. This example provides a water pipeline dredging device; please refer to... Figures 1-4 An embodiment provides a water pipe cleaning device, including a device housing 1, a connecting mechanism 2, a connecting component 21 disposed in the middle section of the device housing 1, a cleaning component 22 disposed in the left section of the device housing 1, and a collecting component 23 disposed in the right section of the device housing 1; the cleaning component 22 includes a connecting block 221, a connecting rod 222 fixedly connected to the left section of the connecting block 221, a connecting spring 223 sleeved on the outer wall of the right section of the connecting rod 222, a slider 224 slidably connected to the outer wall of the middle section of the connecting rod 222, a hinge rod 225 hinged to the outer wall of the slider 224, a hinge connecting rod 226 hinged to the outer wall of the hinge rod 225, a hinge block 227 hinged to the outer end of the hinge connecting rod 226, a cleaning brush 228 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the hinge block 227, and a fixed end block 229 fixedly connected to the left end of the connecting rod 222.
[0025] In this embodiment, when the device is started, the dual-head motor 211 in the connecting assembly 21 starts working, and its left output end drives the rotating shaft 212 to rotate. The rotating shaft 212 drives the connecting rod 222 in the cleaning assembly 22 to rotate synchronously through the connecting block 221. During the rotation of the connecting rod 222, the sleeve spring 223 will generate a pushing force on the slider 224, causing the slider 224 to slide on the outer wall of the middle section of the connecting rod 222. The sliding of the slider 224 drives the hinge rod 225 to move, and the hinge rod 225 in turn pushes the hinge connecting rod 226 to unfold, so that the hinge block 227 drives the cleaning brush 228 to approach and fit against the inner wall of the pipe. As the connecting rod 222 continues to rotate, the cleaning brush 228 thoroughly cleans the dirt on the inner wall of the pipe, while the fixed end block 229 provides stable support for the connecting rod 222, ensuring the stability of the cleaning process.
[0026] Furthermore, the connecting block 221 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the outer end of the rotating shaft 212; the bottom of the hinged connecting rod 226 is hinged to the outer wall of the fixed end block 229, and the hinged connecting rod 226, the hinged block 227 and the cleaning brush 228 are circumferentially arranged on the outer side of the outer wall of the connecting rod 222.
[0027] Furthermore, the rotating shaft 212 drives the connecting rod 222 in the cleaning assembly 22 to rotate synchronously through the connecting block 221; during the rotation of the connecting rod 222, the sleeve spring 223 will generate a pushing force on the slider 224, causing the slider 224 to slide on the outer wall of the middle section of the connecting rod 222; the sliding of the slider 224 drives the hinge rod 225 to move, and the hinge rod 225 in turn pushes the hinge connecting rod 226 to unfold, so that the hinge block 227 drives the cleaning brush 228 to approach and fit against the inner wall of the pipe.
[0028] Example 2: Based on Example 1, the connecting assembly 21 includes a dual-head motor 211 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the middle section of the device housing 1. A rotating shaft 212 is fixedly connected to the left output end of the dual-head motor 211. A sun gear 215 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 212. A planetary gear 214 meshes with the outer wall of the sun gear 215. A gear ring 213 meshes with the outer wall of the planetary gear 214. A fixed sliding sleeve 216 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the device housing 1. A support rod 217 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer side of the fixed sliding sleeve 216. A roller 218 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the support rod 217, and a connecting spring 219 is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixed sliding sleeve 216; the collecting assembly 23 includes a circular extension plate 233 fixedly connected to the right end of the device housing 1, a filter plate 234 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the middle section of the circular extension plate 233, a connecting rod 231 is rotatably connected to one end of the inner side of the filter plate 234, a fan blade 232 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the right section of the connecting rod 231, a collecting cylinder 235 is fixedly connected to the right end of the circular extension plate 233, and an inner cylinder 236 is provided on the inner wall of the collecting cylinder 235.
[0029] In this embodiment, when the rotating shaft 212 rotates, it drives the sun gear 215 to rotate. The sun gear 215 meshes with the planetary gear 214, causing the planetary gear 214 to rotate within the gear ring 213. This gear transmission structure provides stable power transmission for the device, ensuring the coordination of the operation of each component. During the movement of the device, the support rod 217 inside the fixed sliding sleeve 216, under the elastic force of the connecting spring 219, keeps the roller 218 in contact with the inner wall of the pipe. This not only provides support for the device but also reduces friction between the device and the pipe. Combined with the power output of the dual-head motor 211, this enables the device to... It can move flexibly inside the pipeline and adapt to pipeline environments with different pipe diameters; the right output end of the dual-head motor 211 drives the connecting rod 231 in the collection component 23 to rotate, and the connecting rod 231 drives the fan blade 232 to rotate. The airflow generated by the fan blade 232 causes the dirt swept down by the cleaning brush 228 in the pipeline to move towards the collection component 23; when the dirt reaches the circular outer extension plate 233, the filter plate 234 filters the dirt to prevent larger impurities from entering the device and affecting its operation. The filtered dirt enters the inner cylinder 236 inside the collection cylinder 235 to achieve centralized collection of dirt for subsequent processing.
[0030] Furthermore, the gear ring 213 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the device housing 1, and the fixed sliding sleeve 216, support rod 217, roller 218 and connecting spring 219 are circumferentially arranged on the outer wall of the device housing 1; the connecting rod 231 is fixedly installed on the right output end of the double-head motor 211, the fan blade 232 is arranged on the inner side of the filter plate 234, and the inner cylinder 236 is fixedly installed on the outer end of the filter plate 234.
[0031] Furthermore, the support rod 217 inside the fixed sliding sleeve 216, under the elastic force of the connecting spring 219, keeps the roller 218 in contact with the inner wall of the pipe, which not only provides support for the device but also reduces friction between the device and the pipe. Combined with the power output of the dual-head motor 211, the device can move flexibly inside the pipe and adapt to pipe environments with different diameters. The right output end of the dual-head motor 211 drives the connecting rod 231 in the collection assembly 23 to rotate. The connecting rod 231 drives the fan blade 232 to rotate. The airflow generated by the fan blade 232 causes the dirt swept down by the cleaning brush 228 inside the pipe to move towards the collection assembly 23.
[0032] Working principle: When the device is started, the dual-head motor 211 in the connecting assembly 21 starts working, and its left output end drives the rotating shaft 212 to rotate. The rotating shaft 212 drives the connecting rod 222 in the cleaning assembly 22 to rotate synchronously through the connecting block 221. During the rotation of the connecting rod 222, the sleeve spring 223 will generate a pushing force on the slider 224, causing the slider 224 to slide on the outer wall of the middle section of the connecting rod 222. The sliding of the slider 224 drives the hinge rod 225 to move, and the hinge rod 225 in turn pushes the hinge connecting rod 226 to unfold, so that the hinge block 227 drives the cleaning brush 228 to approach and fit against the inner wall of the pipe. As the connecting rod 222 continues to rotate, the cleaning brush 228 thoroughly cleans the dirt on the inner wall of the pipe, while the fixed end block 229 provides stable support for the connecting rod 222, ensuring the stability of the cleaning process.
[0033] Meanwhile, when the rotating shaft 212 rotates, it drives the sun gear 215 to rotate. The sun gear 215 meshes with the planet gear 214, causing the planet gear 214 to rotate within the gear ring 213. This gear transmission structure can provide stable power transmission for the device and ensure the coordination of the operation of each component. During the movement of the device, the support rod 217 inside the fixed sliding sleeve 216, under the elastic force of the connecting spring 219, keeps the roller 218 in contact with the inner wall of the pipe. This not only provides support for the device but also reduces friction between the device and the pipe. Combined with the power output of the dual-head motor 211, the device can move flexibly within the pipe and adapt to pipe environments with different diameters.
[0034] The right output of the dual-head motor 211 drives the second connecting rod 231 in the collection assembly 23 to rotate. The second connecting rod 231 drives the fan blade 232 to rotate. The airflow generated by the fan blade 232 causes the dirt swept down by the cleaning brush 228 in the pipe to move towards the collection assembly 23. When the dirt reaches the circular outer plate 233, the filter plate 234 filters the dirt to prevent larger impurities from entering the device and affecting its operation. The filtered dirt enters the inner cylinder 236 in the collection cylinder 235 to achieve centralized collection of dirt for subsequent processing.
[0035] The entire device, through the coordinated operation of its components, forms a complete cleaning process from dirt removal and device movement to dirt collection, effectively improving the efficiency and effectiveness of water pipeline cleaning.
