Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline maintenance technology, and in particular to a pipeline rust removal device for directly buried carbon steel pipes in sewage treatment plants. Background Technology

[0002] In wastewater treatment plant infrastructure, directly buried carbon steel pipes are widely used for transporting wastewater and related media due to their low cost and high strength. However, because wastewater contains a large amount of corrosive substances, and the direct burial environment easily exposes the inner wall of the pipe to moisture, soil impurities, etc., the inner wall of carbon steel pipes is prone to corrosion after long-term use. Corrosion not only leads to a reduction in the inner diameter of the pipe and a decrease in transport efficiency, but may also pollute the water quality due to rust flakes, and even cause safety hazards such as pipe leaks. Therefore, regular rust removal treatment of the inner wall of carbon steel pipes is an important part of ensuring the stable operation of the wastewater treatment system. Currently, rust removal operations on the inner wall of carbon steel pipes mostly adopt methods such as manual entry into the pipe for grinding, high-pressure water washing, or treatment with simple tools. Manually entering pipes for grinding is not only labor-intensive and involves a harsh working environment, but also presents challenges for smaller diameter or longer pipes, leading to inefficiency and incomplete rust removal. While high-pressure water flushing can remove some loose rust, its effectiveness against tightly adhered rust is limited, and it generates a large amount of wastewater requiring subsequent treatment. Traditional simple rust removal tools are often unsuitable for carbon steel pipes of different diameters, have poor stability within the pipe, and are difficult to move. Furthermore, the waste generated during rust removal tends to accumulate inside the pipe, affecting the rust removal effect and requiring additional cleaning, increasing operating costs and time. In addition, most existing tools require manual pushing or pulling, making automated operation difficult. When dealing with long-distance buried carbon steel pipes, the operation is extremely difficult, failing to meet the requirements of wastewater treatment plants for efficient, safe, and thorough pipe maintenance.

[0003] Therefore, this utility model proposes a pipeline rust removal device for directly buried carbon steel pipes in sewage treatment plants to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0029] The technical solution of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] Reference Figure 1-8 A rust removal device for direct-buried carbon steel pipes in a sewage treatment plant includes an installation cylinder 1, two baffles 11, a shell 13, a guide cylinder 14, and two rotating rings 4.

[0031] The housing 13 and the guide tube 14 are respectively fixedly installed at both ends of the mounting tube 1. Both partitions 11 are fixedly installed inside the mounting tube 1. Multiple rotating pins are rotatably installed on the inner wall of the housing 13. Support rods 2 are radially fixedly installed on each of the multiple rotating pins. Mounting seats 21 are hinged on each of the multiple support rods 21. Two movable wheels 22 are rotatably installed on each of the multiple mounting seats 21. This can provide effective support for the device when the multiple movable wheels 22 are in contact with the inner wall of the carbon steel pipe, and at the same time facilitate the movement of the device inside the carbon steel pipe.

[0032] An electric cylinder 33 is fixedly installed on the partition 11 on the left side. A multi-faceted toothed plate 3 is fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the electric cylinder 33. A linkage gear 31 is fixedly sleeved on multiple rotating pins. The multiple linkage gears 31 mesh with the multi-faceted toothed plate 3. The tilt angle of multiple support rods 2 can be adjusted synchronously as needed, thereby controlling the contact between multiple moving wheels 22 and the inner wall of the carbon steel pipe, and can adapt well to carbon steel pipes of different sizes.

[0033] Both rotating rings 4 are rotatably mounted on the outside of the mounting cylinder 1. Multiple support rods 41 are hinged to the outer periphery of both rotating rings 4. The same grinding disc 42 is hinged to the two support rods 41 located in the same plane. The multiple grinding discs 42 are arranged in a circular array based on the axis of the mounting cylinder 1. When the rotating rings 4 rotate, the grinding discs 42 can be controlled to perform rust removal and grinding operations on the inner wall of the carbon steel pipe. At the same time, the grinding discs 42 can achieve adaptive adjustment according to the inner diameter of the carbon steel pipe.

[0034] A dual-axis motor 52 is fixedly installed inside the mounting cylinder 1. The mounting cylinder 1 has two mounting ports. Two parallel rotating shafts 511 are rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 1. A transmission gear 51 is fixedly sleeved on each of the two rotating shafts 511. A gear plate 5 is embedded and fixedly installed on the inner side wall of each of the two rotating rings 4. The two transmission gears 51 pass through the corresponding mounting ports and mesh with the corresponding gear plates 5. The two output shafts of the dual-axis motor 52 are connected to the corresponding rotating shafts 511 through universal joints, which can provide driving force for the two mounting rings.

[0035] A drive motor 6 is fixedly installed on the partition 11 on the right side. The output shaft of the drive motor 6 extends into the guide tube 14 and is fixedly fitted with a fan blade 61. The guide tube 14 is arranged in a tapered shape from left to right, which can prevent the waste generated during rust removal and grinding from accumulating and staying near the grinding disc 42. At the same time, the airflow is used to discharge it in the opposite direction of movement, and the reaction force when pushing the airflow is used to control the device to move along the carbon steel pipe. The airflow speed difference between the inlet and outlet can be used to alleviate the situation where the filter plate 12 is easily blocked by debris.

[0036] In this embodiment, in order to provide stable support for the dual-axis motor 52 and the rotating shaft 511, a mounting frame is fixedly installed inside the mounting cylinder 1, the dual-axis motor 52 is fixedly installed on the mounting frame, and four support blocks are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 1. The two rotating shafts 511 are respectively rotatably installed on the corresponding two support blocks.

[0037] In this embodiment, in order to allow air outside the mounting cylinder 1 to enter the mounting cylinder 1 when the drive motor 6 controls the fan blade 61 to rotate rapidly, and to allow it to be discharged backward through the guide tube 14, while also preventing debris generated during the rust removal and grinding process from being directly sucked into the mounting cylinder 1, the mounting cylinder 1 is provided with multiple arc-shaped openings, and filter plates 12 are fixedly installed in each of the multiple arc-shaped openings.

[0038] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the return of the device from the carbon steel pipe after the rust removal and grinding process is completed, a traction rope 101 is fixedly installed on the mounting cylinder 1, which also facilitates the control of the device's travel speed inside the carbon steel pipe.

[0039] In this embodiment, in order to provide a stable guide for the mounting plate 32, a plurality of guide rods arranged in parallel to each other are fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the mounting cylinder 1, and the plurality of guide rods are slidably connected to the mounting plate 32.

[0040] The circuits, electronic components, and module mechanisms involved all employ existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art, and need no further explanation. The content protected by this application does not involve any improvement to the software, circuits, or methods.

[0041] Working principle: In use, the device is first placed inside the carbon steel pipe to be treated and the power is turned on. The electric cylinder 33 drives the multi-faceted toothed plate 3 to move, causing the linkage gear 31 to drive the rotating pin to rotate, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the support rod 2. This process allows the moving wheel 22 on the mounting base 21 to fit tightly against the inner wall of the carbon steel pipe, providing stable support for the device and ensuring its smooth movement inside the carbon steel pipe. Subsequently, the dual-shaft motor 52 is started, and through the meshing transmission gear 51 and the toothed disc 5, the two rotating rings 4 are driven to rotate synchronously, causing the support rod 41 on the rotating ring 4 to drive the grinding disc 42. The device performs rust removal and grinding on the inner wall of the carbon steel pipe. The grinding disc 42 can automatically adjust its position according to the inner diameter of the pipe to ensure uniform rust removal effect. At the same time, the drive motor 6 drives the fan blade 61 to rotate at high speed, generating a strong airflow to quickly discharge the waste generated during the rust removal process, avoiding accumulation and affecting work efficiency. Under the push of the airflow reaction force, the device automatically moves forward along the axial direction of the carbon steel pipe to complete the rust removal work of the entire pipe section. The traction rope 101 can not only be used to control the moving speed of the device inside the carbon steel pipe, but also can smoothly pull the device back to its original position after the operation is completed.

[0042] The above provides a detailed description of a rust removal device for directly buried carbon steel pipes in sewage treatment plants, as provided by this utility model. Specific embodiments have been used to illustrate the principle and implementation of this utility model. The descriptions of these embodiments are merely for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to this utility model without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
