Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rust removal equipment technology, and in particular to a self-adjustable pipe inner wall rust removal device. Background Technology
[0002] In the fields of industrial production and infrastructure construction, steel pipes serve as the core carriers for transporting media such as steam, hot water, and industrial gases, and their applications cover multiple key industries including energy, chemicals, and municipal engineering. The cleanliness of the inner wall of the steel pipe directly affects the efficiency of media transportation and the service life of the pipeline. Therefore, rust removal treatment of the inner wall of the steel pipe has become an important process to ensure the safe and stable operation of the system.
[0003] Currently, the industry mainly uses traditional processes such as blasting and shot blasting to remove rust from the inner walls of steel pipes. However, these methods generally require large equipment, resulting in high operating costs, and they are not very adaptable to pipes with different inner diameters. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing rust removal equipment, which is generally large, has high operating costs, and is poorly adaptable to pipes of different inner diameters. Therefore, this invention proposes a self-adjustable pipe inner wall rust removal device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A self-adjustable pipe inner wall rust removal device includes a magnetic walking mechanism, a mounting plate is provided on the magnetic walking mechanism, a motor is mounted on the mounting plate, and a rust removal mechanism is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor.
[0007] The rust removal mechanism includes a fixed disc fixedly mounted on the output shaft, multiple rope grooves opened on the annular sidewall of the fixed disc, a rust removal rope slidably disposed in the rope grooves, and multiple locking bolts disposed on the sidewall of the fixed disc corresponding to the rust removal rope. The rope grooves are C-shaped, with both ends of the C-shape penetrating the annular sidewall of the fixed disc.
[0008] Preferably, the two ends of the rust-removing rope extend out of the two ends of the rope groove, and the shorter end is fixedly provided with an anti-detachment end.

[0011] Preferably, the magnetic walking mechanism includes a vehicle body, a plurality of magnetic wheels disposed at the lower end of the vehicle body, and a drive assembly disposed inside the vehicle body for driving the magnetic wheels to rotate. The vehicle body is provided with corresponding fixing brackets on both sides of the mounting plate.
[0012] More preferably, the mounting plate is provided with two fixed brackets symmetrically mounted on both sides. The side of the mounting plate is inverted L-shaped. Its horizontal part is used to fix the fixing feet of the motor, and its vertical part is located on the outside of the fixed bracket and has multiple vertical adjustment slots. The adjustment slots are provided with fixing bolts corresponding to the fixed brackets.
[0013] More preferably, a cable tray for fixing cables is provided on the side of the vehicle body away from the motor.
[0014] Preferably, a fan blade is fixedly sleeved on the side of the output shaft corresponding to the fixed disk near the motor.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. In this utility model, the rust removal equipment is small in size. Through the design of the magnetic walking mechanism, the rust removal equipment can move on its own in the pipeline and ensure the stability of the movement. At the same time, the design of the cable tray ensures the stable feeding of the cable during movement and also ensures the cleanliness of the cable to protect it.
[0017] 2. In this utility model, the rust removal mechanism is driven to rotate by a motor, so as to clean the inner wall of the pipe by the rust removal rope.

Detailed Implementation
[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 A self-adjustable pipe inner wall rust removal device includes a magnetic walking mechanism 1, an mounting plate 2 on the magnetic walking mechanism 1, a motor 3 mounted on the mounting plate 2, and a rust removal mechanism 5 fixedly mounted on the output shaft 32 of the motor 3. The design of the magnetic walking mechanism 1 facilitates the movement of the rust removal device in the pipe for self-moving rust removal. The motor 3 drives the rust removal mechanism 5 to rotate to remove rust from the inner wall of the pipe.
[0027] The rust removal mechanism 5 includes a fixed disc 51 fixedly sleeved on the output shaft 32, multiple rope grooves 52 formed on the annular sidewall of the fixed disc 51, a rust removal rope 53 slidably disposed in the rope grooves 52, and multiple locking bolts 54 on the sidewall of the fixed disc 51 corresponding to the rust removal rope 53. The rope grooves 52 are C-shaped, with both ends of the C-shape penetrating the annular sidewall of the fixed disc 51. The rust removal rope 53 is made of steel wire rope, a readily available and low-cost material with good strength, ensuring effective rust removal without damaging the inner wall of the pipe and preventing pipe deformation and damage. The C-shaped rope grooves 52 and the design of the rope extending through the annular sidewall of the fixed disc 51 on both sides allow the rust removal rope 53 to extend beyond the rope grooves 52, facilitating adjustment of its length to accommodate pipes of different inner diameters. This eliminates the need for frequent replacement of rust removal ropes 53 of different lengths; after adjustment, the rust removal rope 53 is locked in place using the locking bolts 54. This convenient adjustment and adaptability ensure compatibility with rust removal of pipes of different inner diameters.
[0028] Based on the above technical solution, when it is necessary to remove rust or clean the inner wall of steel pipes and other pipelines, the equipment is placed at the pipe end. The equipment moves into the inner cavity of the pipeline by itself through the magnetic walking mechanism 1. When the equipment moves in the pipeline, the motor 3 is started to drive the rust removal mechanism 5 to rotate. When the rust removal rope 53 rotates, it knocks and removes the rust or attachments on the inner wall of the pipeline. The rust removal operation is convenient and can remove rust by itself without too much manual operation, and the rust removal efficiency is high.
[0029] In this technical solution, such as Figure 1-4As shown, the two ends of the rust removal rope 53 extend out of the two ends of the rope groove 52, and the shorter end is fixedly provided with an anti-detachment end 531. This prevents the rust removal rope 53 from sliding under inertia due to the tightening force of the locking bolt 54 during cleaning. The anti-detachment end 531 prevents the rust removal rope 53 from coming off, ensuring safety during rust removal.
[0030] In this technical solution, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the rope groove 52 and the corresponding rust-removing rope 53 are four in number and evenly arranged in a ring. This ensures the rust removal effect and also avoids tangling of the rust-removing rope 53 during movement.
[0031] In this technical solution, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the magnetic walking mechanism 1 includes a vehicle body 11, a plurality of magnetic wheels 12 disposed at the lower end of the vehicle body 11, and a drive assembly disposed inside the vehicle body 11 for driving the magnetic wheels 12 to rotate. The vehicle body 11 has corresponding fixing brackets 13 on both sides corresponding to the mounting plate 2. The drive assembly can use a drive motor to drive the magnetic wheels 12 to rotate, thereby moving the vehicle body 11. The magnetic wheels 12 are then attached to the inner wall of the steel pipe, facilitating the movement of the rust removal equipment.
[0032] In this technical solution, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the mounting plate 2 has two symmetrically mounted fixing brackets 13 on both sides. The side of the mounting plate 2 is inverted L-shaped. Its horizontal part is used to fix the fixing feet 31 of the motor 3, and its vertical part is located on the outside of the fixing brackets 13 and has multiple vertical adjustment slots 21. Fixing bolts 22 are provided in the adjustment slots 21 corresponding to the fixing brackets 13. The design of the adjustment slots 21 facilitates the adjustment of the installation height of the mounting plate 2 on the fixing brackets 13. For pipes with different inner diameters, the height of the motor 3 can be adjusted to ensure adaptability to the inner wall of the pipe, ensure the contact area between the rust removal rope 53 and the inner wall of the pipe, and ensure the rust removal effect on the inner wall of the pipe. The mounting plate 2 is fixed by the fixing brackets 13, which facilitates the installation and fixation of the mounting plate 2 and ensures the stability of the motor 3 installation.
[0033] In this technical solution, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, a cable tray 6 for fixing cables is provided on the side of the vehicle body 11 away from the motor 3. The power supply and control cables of the motor 3 and the drive motor are fixed by the cable tray 6, which facilitates the neatness of the cables when the rust removal equipment is moved, avoids cable tangling, and ensures the stability of the equipment.
[0034] In this technical solution, such as Figure 1 and 2As shown, a fan blade 4 is fixedly sleeved on the output shaft 32 on the side of the fixed disk 51 near the motor 3. Through the design of the fan blade 4, when the motor 3 drives the rust removal mechanism 5 to remove rust, the fan blade 4 blows the knocked-off rust or attached objects, moving the rust to facilitate the delivery and collection of rust, thus improving the ease of use of the rust removal equipment.
[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
