Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic atomization technology, and more particularly to a pipe cleaning fixture. Background Technology

[0002] After simulating vaping in an environmental test of an electronic atomizing device, it is necessary to clean the condensate generated inside the airway tube to avoid misjudging the test results as oil leakage due to condensate outflow. After vaping, condensate will adhere to the inner wall of the airway tube. If this condensate is not cleaned before testing, it may flow out during the test, ultimately leading to inaccurate test results. Currently, the method for cleaning condensate after vaping in environmental tests involves repeatedly inserting disposable cotton swabs or rolled-up paper towels into the airway tube and rotating them to wipe away the condensate. This process is labor-intensive and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0019] Existing methods for cleaning condensate from gas pipelines suffer from problems such as high labor costs and low cleaning efficiency.

[0020] Therefore, this application proposes a pipe cleaning fixture that uses a rotatable cleaning component capable of adsorbing liquid to clean and adsorb condensate inside pipes, which is easy to operate and improves cleaning efficiency.

[0021] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above problems will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a pipe cleaning fixture for cleaning condensate inside pipes. The fixture includes a cleaning component 1 and a driving component 2. The cleaning component 1 includes a liquid guiding member 12 and a liquid suction member 11. A liquid guiding channel 124 is formed within the liquid guiding member 12, and several through-holes 121 are provided on the side wall of the liquid guiding member 12. The liquid guiding channel 124 communicates with the liquid guiding holes 121. The liquid suction member 11 is fitted onto a portion of the outer surface of the liquid guiding member 12 and covers the liquid guiding holes 121, allowing liquid absorbed by the liquid suction member 11 inside the pipe to enter the liquid guiding channel 124 through the liquid guiding holes 121 of the liquid guiding member 12. The liquid suction member 11 is used to absorb liquid from the inner wall of the pipe. The driving component 2 is connected to the cleaning component 1 and configured to drive the cleaning component 1 to rotate, thereby cleaning the inside of the pipe.

[0023] This application sets up a cleaning component 1 and a driving component 2. The driving component 2 drives the cleaning component 1 to rotate. During the rotation, the liquid suction component 11 of the cleaning component 1 absorbs the liquid in the pipe and then guides the liquid to the liquid channel 124 through the liquid guide hole 121 of the liquid guide component 12. This can effectively clean the liquid in the pipe and improve the pipe cleaning efficiency.

[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the liquid guiding member 12 includes a liquid guiding portion 122 and a connecting portion 123. The liquid guiding portion 122 is configured to contact the liquid in the liquid suction member 11 and guide it to the liquid guiding channel 124. The connecting portion 123 is configured to connect the liquid guiding portion 122 and the drive assembly 2. The liquid guiding member 12 may be in the shape of a hollow cylinder. The liquid guiding portion 122 and the connecting portion 123 are fixedly connected in the axial direction, so that the drive assembly 2 drives the liquid guiding portion 122 to rotate through the connecting portion 123.

[0025] In some embodiments, a plurality of liquid guiding holes 121 are disposed through the sidewall of the liquid guiding portion 122, and the liquid suction member 11 is sleeved on at least a portion of the outer surface of the liquid guiding portion 122, so that the liquid absorbed by the liquid suction member 11 enters the liquid guiding channel 124 through the liquid guiding portion 122. A large number of liquid guiding holes 121 is preferable, so that the liquid is guided into the liquid guiding channel 124 more quickly, thereby improving the liquid suction and cleaning efficiency.

[0026] A plurality of liquid guiding holes 121 are spaced apart along the circumference of the liquid guiding component 12 and spaced apart along the length of the liquid guiding component 12, so that the liquid of the liquid suction component 11 is uniformly guided into the liquid guiding channel 124 through the uniformly distributed liquid guiding holes 121.

[0027] In some embodiments, the liquid guiding member 12 and the liquid suction member 11 are detachably connected, so that the liquid suction member 11 can be replaced separately according to the degree of liquid absorption after the cleaning component 1 is used.

[0028] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 1 further includes at least one fastener 13, which is disposed at one end of the cleaning assembly 1 near the drive assembly 2. The sidewall of the liquid suction member 11 is provided with at least one mounting hole 111 corresponding to at least one liquid guiding hole 121. The fastener 13 passes through the mounting hole 111 and the liquid guiding hole 121 to fix the liquid suction member 11 to the liquid guiding member 12. The at least one mounting hole 111 is symmetrically arranged circumferentially along the liquid suction member 11.

[0029] In this embodiment, the number of fasteners 13 can be one, and the number of mounting holes 111 can be two. In some embodiments, the fastener 13 may include a bolt and a nut. The bolt passes radially through the mounting hole 111 and the liquid guiding hole 121 through the inner cavity of the liquid suction member 11 and the liquid guiding member 12. The nut is threadedly engaged with the bolt and fixed to the outer wall of the liquid suction member 11 to fix the liquid suction member 11 and the liquid guiding member 12 to each other. The inner wall of the liquid guiding hole 121 corresponding to the mounting hole 111 may be provided with internal threads to form a threaded connection with the external threads of the bolt. The fastener 13 enables a detachable connection, allowing the liquid guiding member 12 and the liquid suction member 11 to be locked together, so that the liquid guiding member 12 and the liquid suction member 11 rotate simultaneously under the drive of the drive assembly 2.

[0030] In some other embodiments, the detachable connection between the liquid guiding member 12 and the liquid suction member 11 is achieved by locking with an elastic element. The elastic element is sleeved on the outer wall of the liquid suction member 11, and the liquid suction member 11 is pressed together by contraction force. The elastic element is located at one end of the liquid suction member 11 near the drive assembly 2. The elastic element can be an annular elastic ring (such as a rubber ring or a spring retainer), which can provide uniform radial pressure so that the liquid suction member 11 can be firmly attached to the outer wall of the liquid guiding member 12.

[0031] In some embodiments, one end of the liquid suction member 11 is a closed end, located at the end of the liquid guide member 12 away from the drive assembly 2, and this closed end can clean the condensate that accumulates at the bottom of the pipe.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a fixing member 14 is provided on the inner wall of the liquid guide 12 near the end of the drive assembly 2. The fixing member 14 includes a central hub 141 and a plurality of connecting ribs 142 extending radially outward from the central hub 141. The ends of the plurality of connecting ribs 142 are connected to the inner wall of the liquid guide 12, and the central hub 141 is connected to the drive assembly 2. The fixing member 14 is located within the connecting portion 123, and the drive assembly 2 is connected to the connecting portion 123 through the fixing member 14, thereby driving the liquid guide 12 to rotate.

[0033] In some embodiments, the number of connecting ribs 142 is at least two, and the connecting ribs 142 are spaced apart circumferentially along the central hub portion 141. In this embodiment, the number of connecting ribs 142 is four, and the fastener 14 may be in a "+" structure. In other embodiments, the number of connecting ribs 142 is two, and the fastener 14 may be in a "-" structure; or, the number of connecting ribs 142 is three, and the fastener 14 may be in a "Y" shape.

[0034] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the liquid-absorbing member 11 is adapted to the outer diameter of the liquid-guiding member 12 so that the inner wall of the liquid-absorbing member 11 and the outer wall of the liquid-guiding member 12 fit together, thereby allowing the liquid in the liquid-absorbing member 11 to enter the liquid-guiding channel 124 in the liquid-guiding member 12 more quickly, while preventing the liquid-absorbing member 11 from falling off.

[0035] Understandably, the absorbent 11 may be designed for single use and discarded after use, or the absorbent 11 may be designed for reuse and can be cleaned and reused after use.

[0036] In some embodiments, the pipe cleaning fixture further includes a housing 3, a drive assembly 2, and a portion of a liquid guiding member 12 disposed within the housing 3. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the connecting portion 123 of the liquid guiding member 12 is disposed within the housing 3. The housing 3 is provided with a suction hole 31 communicating with the liquid guiding channel 124. The suction hole 31 may be provided on the side wall of the housing 3 and is configured for connection with a suction device (not shown).

[0037] In some embodiments, the suction device includes a suction tube and a suction pump connected to the suction tube, with the suction tube connected to a suction port 31. The suction device generates suction within the liquid channel 124, drawing liquid from the liquid channel 124 through the suction tube and discharging it from the pipe cleaning fixture. In some embodiments, the suction tube may be a plastic air tube, and the suction pump may be a vacuum pump. The suction device can improve the adsorption force of the cleaning component 1 on the liquid in the pipe, thereby improving cleaning efficiency.

[0038] In some other embodiments, the housing 3 may be omitted, and the suction tube of the suction device extends from the end of the liquid guide 12 near the drive assembly 2 into the liquid guide channel 124 to provide suction without affecting the rotation of the liquid guide 12.

[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the drive assembly 2 includes a drive member 21 and a drive shaft 22 connected to the drive member 21. One end of the drive shaft 22, away from the drive member 21, is fixedly connected to the liquid guiding member 12. In some embodiments, the drive shaft 22 is connected to the central hub of the fixing member 14 inside the liquid guiding member 12. After the drive member 21 is started, it drives the drive shaft 22 to rotate, thereby causing the liquid guiding member 12 to rotate, and thus driving the entire cleaning assembly 1 to rotate. The drive member 21 can be a motor, such as a servo motor, which can control the rotational speed of the drive shaft 22, thereby controlling the rotational speed of the cleaning assembly 1.

[0040] During the operation of the pipe cleaning fixture, at least a portion of the liquid guiding part 122 of the cleaning component 1 extends into the pipe, and the liquid suction member 11 is located inside the pipe. The drive component 2 is activated to rotate the cleaning component 1, and the suction device is activated to provide suction to the liquid guiding channel 124. The pipe cleaning fixture is held and rotated on the part outside the pipe (such as the outer casing 3), causing the liquid suction member 11 to rotate against the inner wall of the pipe. "Against" means that at least a portion of the outer wall of the liquid suction member 11 is in contact with at least a portion of the inner wall of the pipe. As a result, the liquid suction member 11 absorbs liquid such as condensate from the inner wall of the pipe, and the liquid guiding hole 121 guides the liquid to the liquid guiding channel 124. The suction in the liquid guiding channel 124 draws the liquid to the suction device, thereby discharging the liquid from the pipe cleaning fixture.

[0041] This application also proposes an atomization testing device for simulating atomization suction tests. The device includes a pipe and the aforementioned pipe cleaning fixture, with the cleaning component 1 of the fixture inserted inside the pipe. The device also includes an atomizer, comprising an atomizing component for generating atomized gas and a pipe for suctioning the atomized gas. After the simulated atomization suction test, condensate will adhere to the inner wall of the pipe, which is then cleaned using the pipe cleaning fixture.

[0042] The above-described specific examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this invention. Those skilled in the art to which this invention pertains can make various simple deductions, modifications, or substitutions based on the concept of this invention.
