[0020] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides the following technical solution: a pipeline robot launching mechanism, including a main body 1, a water supply pipe 2, and an electric telescopic rod 3, and also includes a rotating cylinder 4 and a nozzle 5. The main body 1 is slidably mounted on the side wall support of the mounting base 11. The two ends of the telescopic infusion pipe 12 are respectively mounted on the main body 1 and the mounting base 11. The water supply pipe 2 is threadedly mounted on the threaded cylinder 21 provided on the mounting base 11. The main body 1 is provided with a driving mechanism. Several electric telescopic rods 3 are arranged in a ring on the main body 1 and the mounting base 11. The rotating cylinder 4 is rotatably mounted on the electric telescopic rod 3. The rotating cylinder 4 is provided with a toothed groove 42. The main body 1 is provided with an electric gear that meshes with the toothed groove 42. The rotating cylinder 4 is provided with a mounting frame 41. Several nozzles 5 are evenly hinged on the mounting frame 41. The nozzles 5 are connected to the main body 1 through a hose. The rotating cylinder 4 is provided with an electric winding shaft 54. The pull wire wound on the electric winding shaft 54 ​​is wound on the rotating shaft of the nozzle 5. The two ends of the pull wire are fixed on the electric winding shaft 54.

[0021] The main body 1 is used to install the remaining components of the device. A drive mechanism on the main body 1 is used to adjust the position of the device. The water pipe 2 is used to transport cleaning water. The threaded cylinder 21 is used to install the water pipe 2. A cylinder that mates with the water pipe 2 is provided on the side wall of the mounting base 11. A sealing gasket is provided on the side wall cylinder of the telescopic infusion pipe 12. The sealing gasket increases the friction experienced by the water pipe 2 during device use, ensuring the stability of the water pipe 2 after it is installed on the threaded cylinder 21. The sealing gasket also seals the gap between the side wall cylinder of the telescopic infusion pipe 12 and the water pipe 2, preventing leakage of cleaning water. The telescopic infusion pipe 12 is used to transport cleaning water, ensuring that the cleaning water transported by the water pipe 2 can smoothly enter the main body. 1. This ensures that the cleaning water can smoothly enter the nozzle 5. The side wall of the main body 1 is provided with a groove that mates with the telescopic infusion tube 12. The groove on the side wall of the main body 1 ensures that the main body 1 and the mounting base 11 can fit together when the device is in the retracted state. The opposite side walls of the main body 1 and the mounting base 11 are provided with matching protrusions and grooves. The main body 1 and the mounting base 11 are installed together through the cooperation of the protrusions and grooves, ensuring the stability of the mounting base 11 after it is installed on the main body 1. The cleaning water can be sprayed onto the debris to be cleaned through the nozzle 5, realizing the cleaning of the debris accumulated in the pipe. Several nozzles 5 are installed on the mounting frame 41 to ensure the cleaning effect of the device on the pipe. When using the device, the length of the electric telescopic rod 3 is adjusted to reach the top. The electric telescopic rods 3 on the inner wall of the pipe serve as a fixing device. By setting several electric telescopic rods 3, the stability of the device during use is ensured. The electric telescopic rods 3 are arranged in a ring on the main body 1 and the mounting base 11, ensuring the working effect of the electric telescopic rods 3 while facilitating the user to adjust the position of the electric telescopic rods 3. The device after adjustment ensures the working effect of the nozzle 5. The toothed groove 42 is annular in shape and meshes with the electric gear. The rotating cylinder 4 is rotatably mounted on the main body 1. After the electric gear is started, the rotating cylinder 4 begins to rotate under the cooperation of the electric gear and the toothed groove 42, realizing the adjustment of the position of the rotating cylinder 4. The rotating cylinder 4 can adjust the position of the nozzle 5, increasing the efficiency of the device. The cleaning range of nozzle 5 ensures its effectiveness in cleaning debris accumulated inside the pipe. The rotating shaft of nozzle 5 is connected to electric reel 54 via a pull cable. When electric reel 54 is started, nozzle 5 begins to rotate under the drive of the pull cable. The rotating nozzle 5 allows for adjustment of its tilt angle, ensuring its working effect. The winding method of the pull cable on electric reel 54 ensures that it can smoothly rotate nozzle 5 in both forward and reverse directions, allowing for easy adjustment of nozzle 5. Nozzle 5 is connected to the main body 1 via a flexible hose, which ensures that the rotation of rotating cylinder 4 and nozzle 5 is not obstructed, and that the device's adjustment of nozzle 5's position is not hindered.

[0022] Specifically, the drive mechanism includes a spring telescopic rod 13, a liquid guiding channel 14, and an electric valve 15. The end face of the side wall support rod of the mounting base 11 is provided with a spring telescopic rod 13 connected to the groove of the mounting support rod. The groove of the spring telescopic rod 13 is provided with a liquid guiding channel 14. The liquid guiding channel 14 is provided with two branch pipes that penetrate the side wall of the internal pipe of the main body 1 and the side wall of the main body 1. An electric valve 15 is installed on the branch pipe of the liquid guiding channel 14.

[0023] When adjusting the position of the device, the liquid guiding channel 14 can send water from inside the main body 1 into the groove of the mounting support rod. As the water flows, the main body 1 is pushed by the water flow, thus adjusting the position of the main body 1. The pushed main body 1 causes the telescopic infusion tube 12 to extend. The extended telescopic infusion tube 12 ensures that the water delivery is not affected. Both the main body 1 and the mounting base 11 are equipped with electric telescopic rods 3. When adjusting the position of the main body 1, the electric telescopic rods 3 on the main body 1 are released from fixing the main body 1. The mounting base 11 remains fixed by the electric telescopic rods 3, ensuring the stability of the mounting base 11 during the movement of the main body 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the device. The end face of the support rod on the side wall of the mounting base 11 is provided with a protrusion. The end face protrusion of the support rod and the groove that mates with it play a limiting role, ensuring that the main body 1 will not detach from the support rod during the movement. The electric valve 15 is used by the user to control the water flow. When sending water into the groove of the mounting support rod, the electric valve on the branch pipe connected to the internal pipe of the main body 1 is opened. 15. The position of the main body 1 is adjusted. During the movement of the main body 1, the spring telescopic rod 13 on the support rod is compressed. After the main body 1 moves to the extreme position, the electric telescopic rod 3 on the main body 1 is extended, and the main body 1 is fixed. Then, the electric telescopic rod 3 on the mounting base 11 is retracted, the fixing of the mounting base 11 is released, the electric valve 15 on the branch pipe connected to the main body 1 is closed, and the electric valve 15 on the branch pipe penetrating the side wall of the main body 1 is opened. The pressure on the support rod is reduced, and the spring telescopic rod 13 returns to its original state. As the spring telescopic rod 13 moves, the mounting base 11 moves to a position that fits against the main body 1, thus adjusting the position of the mounting base 11. As the mounting base 11 moves, the water in the liquid guiding channel 14 and the groove of the mounting support rod is discharged through the branch pipe penetrating the side wall of the main body 1. Then, the electric valve 15 is closed. The movement method of the device ensures that the device will not be obstructed during the movement. A filter screen is provided on the opening of the branch pipe penetrating the nozzle 5 to ensure that external debris will not enter the interior of the liquid guiding channel 14.

[0024] Specifically, the rotating cylinder 4 has a partition chamber 43 inside that corresponds to the nozzle 5, and the hose on the nozzle 5 is located inside the partition chamber 43.

[0025] The partition compartment 43 is used to place the hose installed on the nozzle 5. The position of the partition compartment 43 corresponds to the nozzle 5, ensuring that there is only one hose inside the partition compartment 43, ensuring that the hoses do not interfere with each other during the rotation of the rotating cylinder 4, ensuring the stability of the connection between the main body 1 and the nozzle 5, and ensuring that the rotation of the rotating cylinder 4 is not hindered.

[0026] Specifically, a limiting plate 52 is provided on the side wall of the nozzle 5, and a limiting frame 53 is provided on the rotating cylinder 4. The limiting plate 52 is slidably installed on the limiting frame 53.

[0027] The cooperation between the limiting plate 52 and the limiting frame 53 serves to limit the movement of the nozzle 5, ensuring its stability during rotation. As the nozzle 5 rotates, the limiting plate 52 is carried along by it. During this rotation, the cooperation between the limiting plate 52 and the limiting frame 53 seals the slot where the nozzle 5 is installed, preventing external debris from entering the slot during rotation. The end face of the side wall of the limiting plate 52 has a protrusion, and the side wall of the limiting frame 53 has a groove that mates with the protrusion of the side wall of the limiting plate 52. The cooperation between the protrusion and the groove of the limiting plate 52 serves to limit the movement of the nozzle, ensuring that the limiting plate 52 does not detach from the limiting frame 53 during nozzle rotation, thus guaranteeing the effective operation of the cooperating limiting plate 52 and the limiting frame 53.

[0028] Specifically, a limit rod 51 is slidably installed inside the groove of the mounting frame 41 for mounting the nozzle 5 via a spring, and the hose on the nozzle 5 passes around the limit rod 51.

[0029] As the hose is moved by the nozzle 5, the limiting rod 51 is pushed, compressing the spring. When the nozzle 5 rotates back to its original position, the pushing of the hose against the limiting rod 51 is released, and the limiting rod 51 moves back to its original position under the action of the spring. The limiting rod 51, which has moved back to its original position, plays a limiting role, ensuring the stability of the hose during the use of the device. A roller is rotatably mounted on the limiting rod 51. During the movement of the hose, the roller is rotated, and the rotating roller reduces the damage to the hose.

[0030] Specifically, screws are installed in the side wall groove of the main body 1, and the mounting base 11 is provided with a threaded groove that mates with the screws.

[0031] The main body 1 and the mounting base 11 are fixed together by screws that engage with the threaded grooves on the main body 1 and the mounting base 11, ensuring the stability of the main body 1 and the mounting base 11 after they are installed together and ensuring that the main body 1 and the mounting base 11 will not separate during the user's transportation of the device. The screws are installed at an angle on the main body 1 and the mounting base 11, making it easy for the user to install and remove the screws.

[0032] Specifically, a top block 31 is provided on the end face of the electric telescopic rod 3.

[0033] The top block 31 increases the contact area between the electric telescopic rod 3 and the inner wall of the pipe, improving the fixing effect of the electric telescopic rod 3 on the device. The side wall of the top block 31 is curved, and the curved side wall of the top block 31 ensures the working effect of the top block 31.

[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: After removing the screws, the fixation between the main body 1 and the mounting base 11 is released. The device is then inserted into the pipeline. Cleaning water is supplied to the interior of the main body 1 through the cooperation of the water supply pipe 2 and the telescopic infusion pipe 12. The cleaning water entering the main body 1 flows through the hose into the nozzle 5, which cleans the debris inside the pipeline. When the device is working, the electric gear and electric winding shaft 54 ​​are activated. The rotating cylinder 4 begins to rotate through the cooperation of the electric gear and the tooth groove 42. The nozzle 5 begins to rotate through the cooperation of the electric winding shaft 54 ​​and the pull cable. Through the cooperation of the rotating cylinder 4 and the nozzle 5, the position of the nozzle 5 in cleaning the pipeline is adjusted. When adjusting the position of the device, the electric telescopic rod 3 on the main body 1 is retracted, and the electric valve on the branch pipe connected to the main body 1 is opened. Water flows into the liquid guiding channel 14 and the groove for mounting the support rod through the door 15. The main body 1 is pushed by the water flow. During the movement of the main body 1, the spring telescopic rod 13 is compressed, and the electric telescopic rod 3 on the main body 1 extends after the movement. The main body 1 is fixed. The electric valve 15 on the branch pipe connected to the main body 1 is closed, and the electric telescopic rod 3 on the mounting base 11 is retracted. The fixing of the mounting base 11 is released. The electric valve 15 on the branch pipe penetrating the side wall of the main body 1 is opened. The pressure on the support rod disappears, the spring telescopic rod 13 returns to its original state, and the water flow is pushed away from the liquid guiding channel 14. The mounting base 11 moves to a position that fits against the main body 1 under the action of the spring telescopic rod 13. The electric valve 15 is closed, and the electric telescopic rod 3 on the mounting base 11 extends. The mounting base 11 is fixed.
