Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pipeline cleaning technology, specifically relating to a pipeline cleaning push ball with spiral scraper. Background Technology

[0002] The existing ball pushing device has a cylindrical flat end design at the top. When the slurry with high viscosity and fast settling flows through the pipe wall, there will be slurry residue. The flat end cannot effectively scrape off the slurry residue on the pipe wall, and the high viscosity of the slurry makes the ball pushing speed slow, which greatly affects the production quality and product quality.

[0003] There is an urgent need to design a new type of pipeline cleaning ball pusher to address the shortcomings of existing ball pusher designs, such as the inability to effectively scrape off residual slurry from the pipe wall and the slow ball pusher speed due to the high viscosity of the slurry. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pipe cleaning ball pusher with a spiral scraper, which solves the problems of existing pipe ball pushers being unable to push off high-viscosity slurry and semi-dry slurry from the inner wall of the pipe when pushed horizontally, and the ball easily getting stuck during the pushing process.

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: A pipe cleaning ball with a spiral scraper includes a cylinder, on the surface of which a cylindrical spiral scraper is fixedly disposed, and at the front end of the cylinder, a spherical end face is fixedly disposed, with a spherical end face spiral scraper fixedly disposed on the surface of the spherical end face.

[0006] The tail end of the spherical end face spiral scraper is connected to the head end of the cylindrical spiral scraper. The spherical end face spiral scraper and the cylindrical spiral scraper are connected and used in conjunction.

[0007] The cylindrical spiral scraper is integrally formed with the cylinder.

[0008] The spiral scraper on the end face of the sphere is integrally formed with the end face of the sphere.

[0009] The outer diameter of the spiral scraper on the end face of the sphere is smaller than the outer diameter of the spiral scraper on the cylinder.

[0010] The end faces of both the cylinder and the sphere are made of silicone or rubber. The spiral scraper blades on the cylinder and the end faces of the sphere are made of the same material as the end faces of the cylinder and the sphere.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The pipe pusher of this application changes the flat end face design to a spherical end face design, which addresses the disadvantage of slow ball forward speed due to high slurry viscosity. Under the impetus of the fluid medium, the cleaning speed is improved. Spiral scrapers are added to the spherical end face and the cylinder, and the rotation assists the forward movement to complete the pipe cleaning better and faster, greatly improving the cleanliness and effectively solving the problems of slurry residue in the pipe and ball pushing efficiency.

[0012] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall assembly of a pipe cleaning push ball with spiral scraper according to the present invention.

[0013] Figure 2 This is a front view of the pipe cleaning ball with spiral scraper according to the present invention.

[0014] In the diagram: 1. Cylinder; 2. Spiral scraper of cylinder; 3. End face of sphere; 4. Spiral scraper of end face of sphere. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Example 1

[0016] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a pipe cleaning ball with a spiral scraper includes a cylinder 1, a cylindrical spiral scraper 2 fixedly disposed on the surface of the cylinder 1, a spherical end face 3 fixedly disposed at the front end of the cylinder 1, and a spherical end face spiral scraper 4 fixedly disposed on the surface of the spherical end face 3.

[0017] Furthermore, the tail end of the spherical spiral scraper 4 is connected to the head end of the cylindrical spiral scraper 2, forming a continuous spiral cleaning channel to ensure a smooth cleaning process.

[0018] This application is relatively simple to operate. Simply place it into a pipe a certain distance from the starting point, open the medium flow, and control the ball pushing speed. This effectively removes residual slurry from the pipe, reducing the risk of blockage. During operation, it is important to select a suitable ball material to adapt to different environments and media. Simultaneously, the ball pushing speed must be carefully monitored; pushing too fast or too slow will result in poor pushing effect. This application consumes minimal power, does not damage equipment or pipelines, and has low maintenance costs. Example 2

[0019] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a pipe cleaning ball with a spiral scraper includes a cylinder 1, a cylindrical spiral scraper 2 fixedly disposed on the surface of the cylinder 1, a spherical end face 3 fixedly disposed at the front end of the cylinder 1, and a spherical end face spiral scraper 4 fixedly disposed on the surface of the spherical end face 3.

[0020] Furthermore, the tail end of the spherical spiral scraper 4 is connected to the head end of the cylindrical spiral scraper 2, forming a continuous spiral cleaning channel to ensure a smooth cleaning process.

[0021] Preferably, the draft angle of the end faces of the spherical end face spiral scraper 4 and the cylindrical spiral scraper 2 is 45°-50°, the width of the spherical end face spiral scraper 4 and the cylindrical spiral scraper 2 is 2mm, the height is 3-5mm, and the pitch is 6-10mm.

[0022] Furthermore, the cylindrical spiral scraper 2 is integrally formed with the cylinder 1.

[0023] Furthermore, the spiral scraper 4 on the end face of the sphere is integrally formed with the end face 3 of the sphere.

[0024] The one-piece molding process ensures seamless construction and prevents detachment, avoiding breakage or separation due to insufficient strength during use. The structure is robust and has a long service life.

[0025] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the spherical end face spiral scraper 4 is smaller than the outer diameter of the cylindrical spiral scraper 2. During operation, the smaller outer diameter spherical end face spiral scraper 4 first contacts the residual slurry for pre-cleaning, while the larger outer diameter cylindrical spiral scraper 2 fully contacts the inner wall of the pipe to achieve thorough cleaning.

[0026] Furthermore, both the cylinder 1 and the spherical end face 3 are made of silicone or rubber. These materials are flexible and elastic, preventing scratches to the inside of the pipe and blockages.

[0027] Preferably, the cylinder 1 and the end face 3 of the sphere are made of silicone with a hardness of Shore A 30-60.

[0028] This invention is relatively simple to operate. Simply place the ball into a pipe a certain distance from the starting point, open the medium flow, and control the ball-pushing speed. It effectively removes residual slurry from the pipe, reducing the risk of blockage. During operation, it is important to select a suitable ball material to adapt to different environments and media. Simultaneously, the ball-pushing speed must be carefully monitored; too fast or too slow a speed will result in poor pushing effect. This invention consumes minimal power, does not damage equipment or pipelines, and has low maintenance costs.

[0029] Furthermore, during the cleaning process, some fluid medium passes through the spiral groove, generating a narrow tube effect that greatly increases the flow velocity. This flushes away the residual viscous slurry on the pipe wall at the spiral groove outlet, and the flushing is rotary. The design of the spherical end face 3, the spherical end face spiral scraper 4, and the cylindrical spiral scraper 2 effectively scrapes off the residual slurry from the pipe wall, reducing contamination between different batches of slurry and increasing production efficiency. This application can effectively improve slurry quality while increasing production efficiency.
