Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel pipe cleaning technology, specifically a stainless steel pipe cleaning device. Background Technology
[0002] During the production and processing of stainless steel pipes, oil stains, cutting fluid, oxide scale, and other processing impurities easily remain on the surface and inner wall of the pipe fittings. If these are not thoroughly removed, they will affect the quality of subsequent surface treatment and the performance of the product. Therefore, effective cleaning of stainless steel pipes is a crucial step in ensuring product quality. Currently, commonly used industrial cleaning methods mainly include manual scrubbing, immersion cleaning, and fixed spray cleaning. Manual cleaning is inefficient, labor-intensive, and difficult to guarantee consistent cleaning quality. Immersion cleaning, while capable of handling batches of workpieces, suffers from high consumption of cleaning fluid, long cleaning time, and poor cleaning effect on complex internal cavities. Existing mechanical spray cleaning devices are mostly fixed in structure, with cleaning nozzles unable to flexibly extend into the pipe fittings, and lack a cleaning mechanism combining rotation and reciprocating motion, resulting in incomplete cleaning coverage, especially for stainless steel pipes with large length-to-diameter ratios, leading to numerous cleaning blind spots and unsatisfactory cleaning results. Furthermore, existing devices typically lack dynamic fluid supply and sealed rotary connection structures, making it difficult to stably deliver cleaning fluid while the cleaning head is moving, limiting the improvement of automation and cleaning efficiency. With the increasing demands for cleanliness in the manufacturing industry, existing technologies are no longer sufficient to meet actual production needs in terms of cleaning efficiency, adaptability, and automation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a stainless steel pipe cleaning device that can achieve linked extension and rotation of the cleaning head and has a reliable dynamic liquid supply function, in order to improve the thoroughness of cleaning and operational efficiency, and adapt to the cleaning needs of various pipe fitting specifications. Thus, this utility model proposes a stainless steel pipe cleaning device. Summary of the Invention

One end of the cleaning rod 8 is connected to a rigid pipe 11 via the water rotary joint 10. The rigid pipe 11 is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 4. A flexible hose 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the rigid pipe 11 away from the water rotary joint 10. The end of the flexible hose 12 away from the rigid pipe 11 is connected to the outlet 201 of the cleaning liquid tank 2. The cleaning rod 8 can be driven to extend and retract by a driver 3. The cleaning rod 8 can be driven to rotate by a drive motor 5 and a drive gear 6. By providing a water rotary joint 10, a rigid pipe 11, and a flexible hose 12 at one end of the cleaning rod 8 to connect to the cleaning liquid tank 2, the cleaning liquid can be sprayed out during the rotation of the cleaning rod 8, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the device, enhancing the use effect of the device, and strengthening the practicality of the device.
[0023] Please refer to the following carefully. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cleaning rod 8 includes a rod body 801, inside which a hollow pipe 802 is provided, and a water inlet 803 is opened at the bottom of the rod body 801. The top of the cleaning liquid tank 2 is provided with a water inlet 202, and a dust cap 203 is threaded onto the water inlet 202.

[0027] In summary, the innovation of this patent application lies in proposing a stainless steel pipe cleaning device that integrates telescopic, rotational, and dynamic liquid supply functions, effectively solving the problems of incomplete cleaning, low efficiency, and poor adaptability of existing cleaning equipment. Its core innovations are reflected in the following three aspects: First, it employs a drive mechanism such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric telescopic rod in conjunction with a drive motor. The drive mechanism extends and retracts the cleaning rod as a whole to achieve reciprocating motion, while the drive motor, through gear transmission, drives the cleaning rod to rotate by meshing the driven gear, forming a composite cleaning motion of "telescopic + rotation," significantly expanding the cleaning coverage area, especially suitable for comprehensive cleaning of the inner walls of pipes, effectively eliminating cleaning blind spots. Second, it innovatively introduces a water rotary joint in conjunction with the liquid supply structure of rigid and flexible pipes. The water rotary joint is installed at the end of the rotatable cleaning rod, achieving a sealed connection between the rotating component and the fixed liquid supply pipeline, ensuring stable delivery of cleaning fluid during continuous rotation of the cleaning rod, solving the problem of liquid supply to dynamic components, and improving the reliability of system operation. Furthermore, the cleaning rod features a hollow pipe and a water inlet, allowing the cleaning fluid to be continuously sprayed out during rotation and movement, enhancing the rinsing effect. Simultaneously, the device can be equipped with a water pump and solenoid valve to achieve controllable pressurized spraying of the cleaning fluid, further improving cleaning power and automation. The overall structural design is reasonable and highly practical, significantly improving the efficiency and quality of stainless steel pipe cleaning.
