[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the visual pipe cleaning device provided by this utility model includes a rod body 1 and an endoscope 3. The rod body 1 is a hollow structure with a hand-held pull ring 2 connected to the upper end and a visual part 6 fixed to the lower end. The rod body 1 passes through the cleaning head 4 and the fixing pad 5 in sequence. The fixing pad 5 and the cleaning head 4 are fixed to the rod body 1 based on the nut 9.
[0030] In this embodiment of the invention, the handle pull ring 2 is welded to the rod body 1, and the handle pull ring 2 is annular. The endoscope 3 is fixedly connected to the rod body 1, and the lens of the endoscope 3 extends into the hollow part of the rod body 1 and is fixed to the viewing part 6. Based on the endoscope 3, the user can observe the condition inside the pipe during the pipe unblocking process. The user holds the handle pull ring 2, inserts the rod body 1 into the pipe, and uses the endoscope 3 to check the blockage status and obstructions in the unblocking area. A suitable cleaning head 4 is selected and installed, and the handle pull ring 2 is pressed down to push the cleaning head 4 forward, avoiding violent unblocking that could cause pipe breakage and improving unblocking efficiency.
[0031] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the visible part 6 is connected to the rod body 1 by threads. The visible part 6 includes an upper end 8 and a lower end 7, both made of acrylic. One side of the upper end 8 is a threaded round tube 83, and the rod body 1 is connected to the upper end 8 through the threaded round tube 83. The other side of the upper end 8 is provided with a cross support rod 82, and the center of the cross support rod 82 has an opening 81, so that the lens of the endoscope 3 can be inserted into the opening 81 of the upper end through the hollow interior of the rod body 1. The lower end 7 is provided with a cross groove 72 that matches the cross support rod. The upper end 8 and the lower end 7 are connected based on the cross support rod 82 and the cross groove 72. The center of the cross groove 72 has a fixing ring 71, so that the lens of the endoscope 3 is fixed at the fixing ring 71 of the lower end 7.
[0032] This design ensures the endoscope 3 lens remains stable during pipe unblocking, preventing shaking and improving observation clarity. Simultaneously, the threaded connection design makes the connection between the viewing section 6 and the rod 1 more secure, preventing loosening or detachment during use and ensuring user safety. Furthermore, the matching design of the cross support rod 82 and the cross groove 71 not only enhances the structural strength of the viewing section 6 but also allows the endoscope 3 lens to accurately and quickly locate the desired observation position, improving the efficiency of pipe unblocking.
[0033] In this embodiment of the invention, nuts 9 are respectively provided above the cleaning head 4 and below the fixing pad 5. The nuts 9 are used to fix the fixing pad 5 and the cleaning head 4 to the bottom of the rod body 1. The cleaning head 4 is detachably connected to the rod body 1, and the cleaning head 4 is one of annular rubber pad, annular steel wire head, or conical head.
[0034] This allows for the selection of different cleaning heads based on the type of blockage in the pipe. The annular rubber pad is suitable for softer blockages, using its elasticity to squeeze and clear them; the annular wire head is suitable for harder blockages, using its rigidity to cut and clear them; and the conical head is suitable for cleaning deposits on the inner wall of the pipe, using its conical structure to scrape and clear them. This diverse design of cleaning heads enables this pipe clearing device to handle various complex pipe blockages, improving clearing efficiency and effectiveness. Simultaneously, the design of the fixing pad makes the cleaning head more stable when fixed, preventing it from falling off and ensuring smooth clearing operations.
[0035] In this embodiment of the invention, the bottom of the rod 1 is provided with a thread for detachable connection with the nut 9. The length of the thread is greater than the length of the nut 9 to adjust the position of the nut 9. Specifically, the length of the thread is 4 to 6 centimeters, and the length of the nut 9 is 0.5 to 1 centimeter. This allows the nut 9 to have greater adjustment space on the rod to accommodate cleaning heads 4 or fixing pads 5 of different lengths, thereby enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the device.
[0036] In addition, the detachable connection between the thread and nut 9 facilitates the installation and replacement of the cleaning head 4 and the fixing washer 5, allowing users to make flexible adjustments according to actual needs, thus improving work efficiency and ease of operation.
[0037] In this embodiment of the invention, the rod 1 is a hollow steel pipe with an outer diameter of 10 to 15 millimeters, a handle pull ring 2 with a height of 10 to 11 centimeters, and a length of 1 to 1.1 meters. This design makes the handle pull ring 2 easy for the user to grip and operate. The length design of the rod 1 takes into account the different depths and lengths of pipes, making the pipe unblocking device of this invention applicable to various pipe unblocking scenarios, thus improving its practicality and scope of application.
[0038] As can be seen from the above technical solution, this utility model discloses a visual pipe unblocking device, including a rod and an endoscope. The rod has a hollow structure, with a handle ring connected to the upper end and a viewing part fixed to the lower end. The rod passes through a cleaning head and a fixing washer in sequence, and the fixing washer and cleaning head are fixed to the rod by nuts. The endoscope is fixedly connected to the rod, and the lens of the endoscope extends into the hollow part of the rod and is fixed to the viewing part. This utility model allows for clear observation of the internal condition of the pipe through the lens of the endoscope, thereby accurately judging the blockage of the pipe. By selecting a suitable cleaning head, the pipe can be unblocked, avoiding pipe rupture caused by forceful unblocking when different substances block the pipe, thus improving the efficiency and accuracy of pipe unblocking.
[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
