[0002] Currently, the water transmission pipelines between the intake pumping station and the booster pumping station in pumped storage power stations are mostly constructed by connecting multiple sections of small-diameter steel pipes (800mm in diameter); among them,

[0004] In existing technologies, when spraying anti-corrosion coatings on the inner wall of steel pipes, workers need to enter the steel pipe with handheld spraying equipment to carry out the spraying operation. During the spraying operation, the workers are constrained by the size of the steel pipe (it is difficult to stand upright and turn inside the steel pipe), making the spraying operation of the anti-corrosion coating on the inner wall of the steel pipe a confined space operation, which reduces the spraying efficiency and affects the construction efficiency of pumped storage power stations.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0040] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0041] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the coating device is mainly used for anti-corrosion spraying of the inner wall of steel pipe 4. In this embodiment, steel pipe 4 refers to the small-diameter steel pipe with a diameter of 800mm mentioned in the background art. It can also be used for steel pipes with a diameter of less than 800mm. Of course, it can also be used for steel pipes with a diameter of more than 800mm to replace manual spraying operations, thereby reducing labor costs and improving spraying efficiency.
[0042] The coating device includes a traveling assembly 1 and a spraying assembly 2; wherein...
[0043] See Figure 1 and Figure 3 The walking assembly 1 includes a frame 11 and at least three walking parts 12. All the walking parts 12 are circumferentially arranged around the frame 11 at equal intervals, and all the walking parts 12 have the same walking direction.
[0044] The spraying assembly 2 is installed in the frame 11. The nozzle 22 of the spraying assembly 2 is located at the rear of the frame 11, and the nozzle 22 can rotate around the horizontal center line of the frame 11. The angle between the axis of the spraying port of the nozzle 22 and the horizontal center line of the frame 11 is greater than 0° and less than 90°. That is, the spraying port of the nozzle 22 faces the inner wall of the steel pipe 4, so as to uniformly spray the inner wall of the steel pipe 4.
[0045] When using this coating device, the operator can insert the walking component 1 into the steel pipe 4 from one end of the steel pipe 4 and make the walking direction of the walking part 12 parallel to the axis of the steel pipe 4 so that the walking component 1 can move smoothly along the axis of the steel pipe 4, providing a basis for uniform spraying of the anti-corrosion coating.
[0046] When the tail of the walking component 1 enters the steel pipe 4, the operator can start the spraying component 2 and make the nozzle 22 in the spraying component 2 rotate around the horizontal center line of the frame 11. During the rotation of the nozzle 22, the walking component 1 stops moving, and the spraying component 2 sprays the anti-corrosion coating onto the inner wall of the corresponding steel pipe 4 through the nozzle 22.
[0047] After the nozzle 22 rotates around the horizontal center line of the frame 11 and completes the spraying of the anti-corrosion coating, the operator controls the walking component 1 to move along the axial direction of the steel pipe 4 by one unit stroke, and transports the spraying component 2 to the next position to continue the spraying of the anti-corrosion coating until the walking component 1 is moved out from the other end of the steel pipe 4 and the inner wall of the steel pipe 4 is completely sprayed with the anti-corrosion coating.
[0048] This coating device can replace workers entering the steel pipe 4 to complete the anti-corrosion coating spraying operation, thereby improving the spraying efficiency and thus improving the construction efficiency of the pumped storage power station.
[0049] It is worth noting that the above-mentioned unit travel distance is the distance moved by the walking component 1 in a single movement, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the diameter of the unit stroke is equal to the diameter of the spraying area of the nozzle 22. That is, after the traveling component 1 moves one unit stroke, the traveling component 1 can drive the spraying component 2 to move one unit stroke together. The nozzle 22 just enters the next spraying range to carry out the spraying operation. The spraying range is connected with the previous spraying range to ensure the uniformity of the sprayed anti-corrosion coating.
[0050] In some embodiments, the coating device can be controlled remotely, or a controller can be installed on the walking component 1 for automatic control. In this embodiment, the coating device is controlled remotely, and both the walking component 1 and the spraying component 2 are connected to the remote control signal. The operator can remotely control the alternating intermittent movements of the walking component 1 and the spraying component 2 to improve the spraying effect.
[0051] The aforementioned alternating intermittent action refers to the following: when the traveling component 1 is moving, the nozzle 22 in the spraying component 2 stops spraying; and when the nozzle 22 in the spraying component 2 is spraying, the traveling component 1 stops moving. The two alternate between starting and stopping to ensure the uniformity and completeness of the sprayed anti-corrosion coating.
[0052] In some embodiments, the frame 11 described above is an equilateral triangular frame structure, see [reference]. Figure 1 and Figure 2 ;in,
[0053] There are three traveling parts 12, which are respectively located at the three top corners of the frame 11. The distance from the inner part of the frame 11 to the end of the traveling part 12 (the end that contacts the steel pipe 4) is equal to the radius of the steel pipe 4. That is, when the traveling assembly 1 enters the interior of the steel pipe 4, the ends of the three traveling parts 12 are close to the inner wall of the steel pipe 4 so that the traveling assembly 1 can move smoothly along the axial direction of the steel pipe 4, ensuring the smooth progress of the spraying operation.
[0054] In some embodiments, the aforementioned walking unit 12 includes a drive motor and a tracked pulley system; wherein,
[0055] The tracked pulley block is mounted on the chassis 11, and the direction of travel of the tracked pulley block is parallel to the horizontal center line of the chassis 11.
[0056] The drive motor is mounted on the tracked pulley block, and the driving end of the drive motor is connected to the tracked pulley block for transmission.
[0057] The drive motor is connected to the aforementioned remote control signal to control the start and stop of the drive motor, making the control of the walking component 1 more convenient.
[0058] It is worth noting that the tracked pulley block can prevent the walking component 1 from shifting during movement, thus ensuring the smooth progress of the spraying operation.
[0059] In some embodiments, the tracked pulley system described above includes a wheel frame, a rubber track, and a plurality of rollers; wherein,
[0060] The wheel frame has a rectangular frame structure and is mounted on the frame 11. The long axis of the wheel frame is parallel to the center line of the frame 11.
[0061] Multiple rollers are equidistantly spaced along the long axis of the wheel frame and are rotatably mounted on the wheel frame;
[0062] Rubber tracks are wrapped around multiple rollers;
[0063] The drive motor is mounted on the wheel frame, and the driving end of the drive motor is connected to one of the rollers to drive the roller to rotate. The roller drives all the rollers to rotate through the rubber track, so that the walking component 1 can move smoothly along the axis of the steel pipe 4. The rubber track can prevent the tracked pulley block from slipping inside the steel pipe 4, so that the movement of the walking component 1 is more stable.
[0064] In some embodiments, the spraying assembly 2 further includes a paint bucket 21; wherein,
[0065] A paint bucket 21 is mounted on the frame 11, and a suction pump (not shown in the figure) is installed inside the paint bucket 21.
[0066] The nozzle 22 is rotatably mounted on the paint bucket 21 around the horizontal center line of the frame 11, and the liquid outlet of the suction pump is connected to the liquid inlet of the nozzle 22. The suction pump is connected to the aforementioned remote control signal, and the operator can control the start and stop of the suction pump through remote control, that is, control the start and stop of the spraying assembly 2.
[0067] It is worth noting that the motors in the drive motor and suction pump mentioned above are all rechargeable motors, which reduces the wiring layout. At the same time, the setting of paint bucket 21 can eliminate the need for a liquid supply pipe (the pipeline that provides paint), so as to avoid the situation where the pipeline (line and liquid supply pipe) comes into contact with the undried and damaged anti-corrosion coating during the spraying process, which would affect the spraying quality.
[0068] The aforementioned remote control can achieve signal connection with the drive motor and suction pump through existing mature technologies such as infrared, Bluetooth, and WiFi, which are commonly used wireless connection methods in existing technologies.
[0069] In some embodiments, the coating apparatus further includes a detection component 3; the detection component 3 is disposed on the spraying component 2, and the detection end of the detection component 3 is located at the rear of the vehicle frame 11, and the detection component 3 is connected to a terminal (computer, smartphone, tablet computer, etc.) via signal.
[0070] During the spraying operation, the detection component 3 can detect the quality of the anti-corrosion coating on the inner wall of the steel pipe 4 and feed the detected quality information back to the terminal. The staff can understand the quality of the anti-corrosion coating through the terminal and take remedial measures in time when there are problems with the quality of the anti-corrosion coating.
[0071] Preferably, the detection component 3 includes a magnetic thickness gauge and an infrared laser detection device. The magnetic thickness gauge measures the thickness of the anti-corrosion coating, and the infrared laser detection device detects the uniformity of the anti-corrosion coating to ensure the uniformity of the anti-corrosion coating spraying.
[0072] The aforementioned magnetic thickness gauges can be the DR260 magnetic coating thickness gauge and the ZXL-820 magnetic thickness gauge, etc.; the infrared laser detection equipment can be the Nicolet iS50 Pro+ Fourier transform infrared spectrometer.
[0073] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
