[0019] The pipe unblocking device provided by this utility model includes a first rod segment and a second rod segment. The second rod segment is connected to the first rod segment along its length, and a cleaning component for removing blockages is provided on the second rod segment. Therefore, the user can insert the second rod segment into the blocked pipe through the first rod segment, and by pushing, pulling, and moving the first rod segment, the cleaning component on the second rod segment can clear the blockage in the pipe, thereby unblocking the pipe. Because the first rod segment is made of an elastic material and can be bent under external force, this pipe unblocking device can smoothly pass through complex pipe structures such as U-shaped pipes and right-angle bends. This device enables the unblocking and cleaning of various pipes, greatly improving its practicality. Because the first segment has a first connecting structure and the second segment has a second connecting structure, the relative rotation of these two structures allows the first and second segments to connect. When the cleaning components on the second segment become dirty or damaged due to long-term use, the user can remove the second segment from the first segment and quickly replace it by rotating either the first or second connecting structure. This allows for the individual replacement of the second segment, ensuring the device's unblocking capacity while reducing unblocking costs.

[0027] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.
[0028] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0029] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0030] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," and "left," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides a pipe unblocking device, which includes a first rod segment 1 and a second rod segment 2. The first rod segment 1 is made of an elastic material and can be bent under the action of external force. The second rod segment 2 is provided with a cleaning component 21 for removing blockages. The first rod segment 1 is provided with a first connecting structure, and the second rod segment 2 is provided with a second connecting structure. The relative rotation of the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure can drive the first rod segment 1 to connect to the second rod segment 2. Specifically, since the second rod segment 2 is connected to the first rod segment 1 along its length, and the second rod segment 2 is equipped with a cleaning element 21 for removing blockages, the user can insert the second rod segment 2 into the blocked pipe through the first rod segment 1. By pushing, pulling, and moving the first rod segment 1, the cleaning element 21 on the second rod segment 2 can clear the blockage in the pipe, thereby unblocking the pipe. Since the first rod segment 1 is made of an elastic material and can bend under external force, this pipe unblocking device can smoothly pass through complex pipe structures such as U-shaped pipes and right-angle bends, thus achieving unblocking and cleaning of various pipes. This greatly improves the practicality of the pipe dredging device. Since the first connecting structure is provided on the first rod segment 1 and the second connecting structure is provided on the second rod segment 2, the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure can be rotated relative to each other to connect the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2, making the operation convenient and quick. When the cleaning part 21 on the second rod segment 2 becomes dirty or damaged due to long-term use, the user can remove the second rod segment 2 from the first rod segment 1 and quickly replace it by rotating the first connecting structure and the second connecting structure, thereby realizing the individual replacement of the second rod segment 2. While ensuring the dredging capacity of the pipe dredging device, the dredging cost is reduced.
[0032] In this embodiment, when using the pipe unblocking device, the user holds the first rod segment 1, aligns the second rod segment 2 with the pipe opening to be unblocked and inserts it, and pushes, pulls or rotates the first rod segment 1 to drive the cleaning component 21 on the second rod segment 2 to clean the blockage in the pipe.
[0033] The cleaning component 21 can be a brush or a hook, or other types of cleaning tools commonly used in the field, such as a colander or metal blade, as long as it can crush, scrape, or retrieve the blockage in the pipe to achieve removal. In this embodiment, the cleaning component 21 is a brush, which is fixedly connected to the end of the second rod segment 2, and the bristles of the brush are arranged circumferentially around the second rod segment 2, so that the pipe unblocking device can clean and unblock various parts of the pipe at the same time.
[0034] To further improve the flexibility and practicality of the pipe clearing device, the second rod segment 2 is made of elastic material and can be bent under external force; the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2 cooperate with each other and can be bent under external force to adapt to pipe structures of different shapes and structures.
[0035] The specific materials of the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2 can be set according to actual conditions, such as metal wire rods, rubber rods, and flexible plastic rods, as long as they have a certain degree of elasticity and can be bent under external force. In this embodiment, both the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2 are made of steel wire. Steel wire has good elasticity and toughness, and can flexibly extend into various pipes for unblocking. In order to further improve the durability of the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2, the steel wire is covered with a PE layer. PE, commonly known as polyethylene, is a commonly used thermoplastic resin material in this field. It has the characteristics of corrosion resistance and strong flexibility. The PE layer completely covers the outside of the steel wire, which can improve the corrosion resistance of the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2.
[0036] Understandably, this pipe unclogging device can be used to clean and unclog various drainage pipes inside buildings, sink drains, and various drainage holes in cars.
[0037] The first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2 can be connected by threads or by a rotating snap fastener. The specific connection structure can be set according to the actual situation. In this embodiment, the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2 are connected by threads. One of the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2 is rotatably provided with a ferrule sleeve 3, and the other end is fixedly provided with a screw connector 22. The threaded connection between the ferrule sleeve 3 and the screw connector 22 can drive the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2 to connect. The ferrule sleeve 3 and the screw connector 22 are commonly used ferrule connector devices in the art, wherein the ferrule sleeve 3 is the first connection structure and the screw connector 22 is the second connection structure. Both the ferrule sleeve 3 and the screw connector 22 are made of metal. 3 is movably mounted on the first rod segment 1, and a retaining ring is provided at the end of the first rod segment 1 near the second rod segment 2. The retaining ring can abut against the retaining sleeve 3 to prevent the retaining sleeve 3 from coming off the first rod segment 1. The screw joint 22 is fixedly mounted on the end of the second rod segment 2 near the first rod segment 1. Since the retaining sleeve 3 is movably mounted on the first rod segment 1, when connecting the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2, the user only needs to rotate the retaining sleeve 3 to connect the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2, without having to forcefully twist the entire first rod segment 1. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. In another embodiment, the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2 are connected by a rotating snap fastener. The end of the first rod segment 1 is provided with an L-shaped groove, which includes a first groove segment and a second groove segment that are perpendicularly connected. The first groove segment extends axially along the first rod segment, and the second groove segment is perpendicular to the first groove segment. The end of the second rod segment 2 is provided with a protrusion that can slide into the L-shaped groove. The L-shaped groove is the first connecting structure, and the protrusion is the second connecting structure. When it is necessary to connect the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2, the user aligns the protrusion with the first groove segment of the L-shaped groove and pushes the second rod segment 2, causing the protrusion to slide into the first groove segment. Once the protrusion moves to the first groove segment... When connecting the two segments, the user twists the first segment 1 or the second segment 2, causing the protrusion of the second segment 2 to slide horizontally into the second groove, thereby achieving an axial connection between the first segment 1 and the second segment 2. When it is necessary to separate the first segment 1 and the second segment 2, the user twists the first segment 1 or the second segment 2 in the opposite direction of the aforementioned rotation, causing the protrusion to slide out of the second groove, and then pulls the first segment 1 and the second segment 2 in the opposite direction to separate them. It is understood that the first connecting structure at the end of the first segment 1 can also be a T-slot or other irregular groove, as long as it can allow the protrusion to be engaged in it to achieve an axial limiting connection.
[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, the clamp sleeve 3 is provided with anti-slip texture 31. The anti-slip texture 31 can increase the friction between the clamp sleeve 3 and the user's hand, thereby making it easier for the user to twist and turn, and greatly improving the practicality of the pipe unblocking device.
[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the ferrule sleeve 3 is disposed on the first rod segment 1, and the screw connector 22 is disposed on the second rod segment 2; the screw connector 22 is provided with a magnetic attraction element, and the screw connector 22 is attracted to the end of the first rod segment 1 by the magnetic attraction element; the magnetic attraction element enables the screw connector 22 of the second rod segment 2 to be attracted to the end of the first rod segment 1, thereby playing an auxiliary positioning role and making it convenient for the user to screw the ferrule sleeve 3 in the future. In this embodiment, an iron fixing cap is provided at the end of the first rod segment 1 near the screw connector 22, and a retaining ring is provided on the fixing cap to prevent the retaining sleeve 3 from falling off the first rod segment 1; the magnetic attractor is a magnet, which can be fixed to the outside of the screw connector 22 or fixed to the inside of the screw connector 22 and covered at the end of the second rod segment 2; when connecting the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2, the user first brings the end of the first rod segment 1 close to the second rod segment 2 and aligns the end of the first rod segment 1 with the screw connector 22 on the second rod segment 2. At this time, the screw connector 22 will be aligned with the fixing cap at the end of the first rod segment 1 and attracted by the attraction of the magnetic attractor; then the user moves the retaining sleeve 3 onto the screw connector 22 and screws the retaining sleeve 3, so that the retaining sleeve 3 will be fitted onto the screw connector 22 and threadedly connected to the screw connector 22, thereby realizing the connection of the first rod segment 1 and the second rod segment 2.
[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a pull ring 11 is provided on the first rod section 1. The pull ring 11 makes it easy for the user to hold and pull the first rod section 1, thereby greatly improving the practicality of the pipe unblocking device.
[0041] To improve user comfort when using the drain cleaning device, the pull ring 11 is covered with a rubber layer. The rubber layer has a certain degree of flexibility, which can reduce the discomfort in the user's hand when using the drain cleaning device.
[0042] Specifically, the lengths of the first segment 1 and the second segment 2 can be set according to the actual situation, as long as they can meet the requirements for pipe dredging; and the cleaning component 21 on the second segment 2 is fixed at the end of the second segment 2 away from the first segment 1. When the cleaning component 21 needs to be replaced, the user removes the second segment 2 from the first segment 1 and replaces the entire second segment 2.
[0043] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
