Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline cleaning technology, specifically to a robot device for cleaning the inner wall of pipelines with ice sand. Background Technology
[0002] Pipelines are widely used in industries such as water supply, petrochemicals, and food processing. However, long-term operation leads to the accumulation of scale, rust, biofilm, and organic deposits on the inner walls, affecting the smoothness and service life of the pipelines.
[0003] Traditional cleaning methods typically use high-pressure water rinsing, which is inefficient and cannot remove stubborn dirt. If chemical cleaning agents are used, there is a risk of environmental pollution. Ice sand cleaning technology utilizes the physical scouring and low-temperature embrittlement effect of ice particles, which is environmentally friendly and efficient. However, most existing ice sand devices are fixed equipment, which is difficult to adapt to pipeline structures. Utility Model Content

The ice blender is connected to a water storage tank, and the ice blender it generates is output to the nozzle through the high-pressure pump. The ice blender is installed inside the machine body, which has a sealed chamber that separates the ice blending mechanism, the power supply area, and the control area.
[0029] The power supply area includes a high-capacity lithium battery (24V, 50Ah), providing 4-6 hours of battery life, and is equipped with a fast charging port (fully charged in 2 hours).
[0030] The control area includes a programmable controller, a sensor group, a communication module, and a camera. The sensor group includes an ultrasonic sensor with a detection distance of 0-5m and an accuracy of ±1mm; a high-definition camera with a resolution of 1080p and equipped with an LED fill light, which transmits images of the inner wall in real time; a temperature sensor to monitor the temperature of the smoothie machine and the inner wall of the pipes; a controller based on an ARM Cortex-M4 processor; and a communication module that supports 5G wireless communication or fiber optic cable transmission with a transmission distance of ≥500m.
[0031] The aforementioned waste filtration mechanism includes a suction port 6, a suction pump 8, and a collection chamber 7 connected in sequence. The collection chamber 7 is equipped with a filter screen, which is made of stainless steel mesh (0.5mm aperture). The bottom of the filter screen is equipped with an inner frame, and the inner frame is equipped with multiple activated carbon plates for easy filtration and adsorption of fine residues. A circulation pump is installed on the side wall of the inner frame, and the output end of the circulation pump is equipped with a circulation pipe connected to the water storage chamber. The circulation pump has a power of 30W and returns the filtered liquid to the water storage chamber.
[0032] Meanwhile, to ensure the stability of the internal frame, specifically, the side walls of the internal frame are bolted with side plates, and the bottom of the internal frame is bolted with a base plate.
[0033] The tracked movement mechanism includes a drive wheel 13 and a track 14, which are located at the bottom of the machine body to support and coordinate the movement of the machine body.
[0034] Furthermore, the aforementioned slush machine is an existing technology device, which includes a slush machine and a mixer. The discharge end of the slush machine is connected to the mixer. The output of the slush machine is 20 kg / h, the mixer speed is 500 rpm, and the slush particle size is 0.5-2 mm.

The content protected by this utility model does not involve any improvement to the internal structure and method.
[0040] Combination Figures 1-3 The specific usage process of the robot device for cleaning the inner wall of pipes with ice sand according to this embodiment is as follows:
[0041] The robot enters the water-filled pipe via a tracked movement mechanism. For pipes without water, an inlet pipe is required to connect to the water storage tank. The slush machine starts, and the generated slush enters the mixing chamber. The mixing chamber sends the slush to a high-pressure pump, which sprays the slush-water mixture at 0.5 MPa pressure through a rotating nozzle onto the inner wall of the pipe. The slush impacts the inner wall of the pipe, removing scale and dirt. After melting, it mixes with the wastewater. The suction port draws water from the lower part of the robot into the collection tank at a flow rate of 2-5 L / min. The filtered water is then added to the water storage tank. The collection tank has a filtration unit, such as a filter screen and activated carbon plate, to separate solid residue and liquid. The filtered liquid is then returned to the water storage tank via a circulation pump. The controller analyzes and collects camera images and sensor data in real time, and users can intervene in the operation via a remote terminal.
[0042] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to embodiments, various modifications can be made and components can be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the features in the embodiments disclosed in this invention can be combined with each other in any way. The lack of an exhaustive description of these combinations in this specification is merely for the sake of brevity and resource conservation.
