Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of aircraft maintenance technology, and in particular to an oil pipe cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Fuel piping systems are crucial for aircraft operation, responsible for delivering fuel to engines and other equipment. Impurities or dirt in the fuel lines can clog them, affecting fuel supply and even causing engine stall. Existing fuel lines, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the oil pipe 100 includes a pipe body 110 and two flanges 120. The pipe body 110 has an arc-shaped structure, and the two flanges 120 are fixedly connected to both ends of the pipe body 110, respectively.

[0003] After the oil pipes with the aforementioned structure are removed from the aircraft, the inside of the pipes needs to be cleaned to remove impurities or dirt from the inner walls. Generally, this is done manually by inserting a sponge into the pipe and moving it back and forth. However, due to the large curvature of these aircraft-specific arc-shaped oil pipes, manual cleaning is physically demanding. Existing cleaning devices (such as the oil pipeline oil stain cleaning device disclosed in application number 201811349992.3) are not suitable for cleaning these arc-shaped oil pipes, and using existing cleaning devices often results in incomplete cleaning. Utility Model Content

The length of the mounting component is greater than the length of the oil pipe body. The cleaning component is sleeved on the mounting component, and the driving mechanism is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting component.

[0013] Furthermore, the cleaning component has a columnar structure, and the diameter of the cleaning component is larger than the inner diameter of the oil pipe body.

[0014] Furthermore, the length of the cleaning component is greater than the length of the oil pipe body but less than the length of the mounting component.

[0015] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism also includes fasteners that are detachably connected to the mounting component and the cleaning component.

The first slide rail and the positioning channel form a circular structure. The second slide rail is disposed outside the first slide rail. The driven rack has an arc-shaped structure, and the arc of the driven rack is the same as the arc of the first slide rail. The driven rack is slidably disposed on the first slide rail. One end of the driven rack is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting component. The driving rack is slidably connected to the second slide rail and can move along the length direction of the second slide rail. The gear is rotatably disposed between the driven rack and the driving rack and meshes with the driven rack and the driving rack. The output end of the telescopic drive component is fixedly connected to one end of the driving rack and is used to drive the driving rack to reciprocate along the length direction of the second slide rail.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model include: when cleaning the inside of the oil pipe of this structure, the oil pipe is fixed by a fixing mechanism, and the cleaning component and the mounting component are detachably fixed.

The fixing mechanism 200 is used to fix the oil pipe 100. The cleaning mechanism 300 includes an mounting component 310 and a cleaning component 320. The cleaning component 320 is a deformable structure and is detachably fixedly connected to the mounting component 310. The driving mechanism 400 is connected to the mounting component 310 and is used to drive the mounting component 310 to perform an arc-shaped reciprocating motion, so that the cleaning component 320 moves into the oil pipe 100 and performs an arc-shaped reciprocating motion within the oil pipe 100, or moves the cleaning component 320 out of the oil pipe 100.

This can limit the oil pipe 100 and prevent it from moving during the cleaning process. After the inside of the oil pipe 100 is cleaned, the oil pipe 100 can be directly removed, which can realize the quick clamping of the oil pipe 100.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The curvature of the positioning channel 210 is the same as that of the pipe body 110 of the oil pipe 100, and the width of the positioning channel 210 is equal to the outer diameter of the pipe body 110 of the oil pipe 100, so as to ensure that the oil pipe 100 can be better engaged with the positioning channel 210.

[0029] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The fixing mechanism 200 is a fixing seat with an arc-shaped structure. The arc of the fixing seat is the same as the arc of the pipe body 110 of the oil pipe 100.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The length of the cleaning component 320 is greater than the length of the pipe body 110 of the oil pipe 100 and less than the length of the mounting component 310, which can ensure that the cleaning component 320 cleans all parts inside the pipe body 110 of the oil pipe 100.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment, the cleaning component 320 can be a sponge or a brush, which can clean the inner wall of the pipe body 110 of the oil pipe 100.

The screw rod passes through the screw hole 311 and is screwed into the screw hole 311. The side wall of the screw rod abuts against the end face of the cleaning component 320. When the screw rod is threaded into the screw hole 311, the side wall of the screw rod can block the cleaning component 320 to prevent it from falling off the mounting component 310. When the screw rod is separated from the screw hole 311, the cleaning component 320 can be removed from the mounting component 310. The cleaning component 320 is easy to install and remove.

When the telescopic drive 460 is activated, the output end of the telescopic drive 460 extends or shortens, which can drive the active rack 440 to reciprocate along the length direction of the second slide rail 420. During the reciprocating movement of the active rack 440 along the length direction of the second slide rail 420, it can drive the driven rack 430 to perform arc reciprocating motion through the transmission action of the gear 450, thereby driving the mounting member 310 to perform arc reciprocating motion. The mounting member 310 then drives the cleaning member 320 to perform arc reciprocating motion. The cleaning member 320 can clean the inner wall of the pipe body 110 of the oil pipe 100.
