Description

Dredge structure

The present invention belongs to the technical field of a dredge, and specifically refers to a dredge structure for cleaning water pipes, which can be used to remove foreign matter in the water pipe, and further can effectively remove the dirt on the pipe wall, and can control the cleaning immediately The condition of the water pipe.

According to, water pipes are the most common facilities in buildings. They are mainly buried underground or in walls, while water pipes connecting sinks, showers, and toilets are mainly used to discharge sewage, because this type of sewage often contains hair and vegetable residue. , Grease, etc., accumulate for a long time, it will form blockages in the water pipes, unable to effectively discharge sewage, or form fouling on the pipe walls, resulting in poor drainage, and even the sewage in the water pipes pouring out, which affects environmental hygiene and causes life When the water pipe is blocked, it is usually necessary to use a dredge to unblock the blocked pipe or toilet. The traditional dredge structure is to directly connect a rubber bowl-shaped suction cover to the bottom of a handle. The suction hood can be deformed by pressing down with the hand-held handle to make the suction and pushing pressure change inside the suction hood to clear the obstruction; however, the above-mentioned dredging method often fails to clear the obstruction, or it is necessary The dredging effect can only be achieved after multiple operations and use. After all, the suction and pushing pressure changes that the adsorption cover can produce are quite limited, and even if the blocked object is turned over, it may still block the pipeline or toilet again, so , The effect of the dredge is not good.

Therefore, some companies have developed special dredging devices for dredging drainage pipe blockages, such as: "Water Pipe Dredger" No. M350568, "Water Pipe Dredge" No. M401030, No. M403520 "Pipe Dredge" and No. M433491 "Piping through device" and other patents. However, this type of dredge can only hook the blockage in the middle part of the drain pipe in actual use, and it is difficult to effectively remove the scale attached to the wall of the water pipe, so the effect of removing the blockage of the water pipe is still limited. .

In other words, in the actual use experience of the existing dredge, there are still some problems that have not yet been improved and breakthroughs, and the existing dredge cannot effectively grasp the cleaning status immediately during the cleaning process, which also causes cleaning inconvenience. Therefore, how to provide a dredge that can effectively clean water pipe blockages and pipe wall fouling has become a topic worthy of research, and it is also what current users expect.

In view of this, the inventor of the present invention has conducted in-depth discussions on the problems faced by the existing dredge in use, and with years of experience in R&D and manufacturing in related industries, actively seeks solutions. After continuous efforts in research and trial production, finally Successfully developed a dredge structure, which can overcome the inconvenience and trouble caused by existing shortcomings.

Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a dredge structure, which can effectively clean the blockage of the water pipe and further scrape the dirt on the wall of the water pipe to improve its practicability.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a dredge structure, which allows the user to grasp the cleaning status inside the water pipe in real time, and greatly enhance the water pipe The efficiency and convenience of cleaning.

Accordingly, the present invention mainly achieves the aforementioned purpose and performance through the following technical means: it includes; a working head with at least one elastic scraping cord around it, and each of the elastic scraping cords can be deformed and formed A semi-circular arch shape that restores the pretension; a flexible cable, one end of which can be fixed with the working head.

As a result, through the demonstration of the aforementioned technical means, the dredge structure of the present invention can use the design of the elastic scraper around the working head. In addition to being able to deform in accordance with the diameter of the water pipe, when it encounters fouling on the wall of the water pipe, The scraping effect can be produced, thereby improving the efficiency and convenience of water pipe dredging and cleaning, thereby effectively enhancing its added value and enhancing its economic benefits.

In addition, the present invention uses the following technical means to further achieve the aforementioned purposes and effects to increase its added value and effectively enhance the competitiveness and economic benefits of products; such as:

The working head has a body, and the body is different from the flexible cable with an accommodating chamber at one end, and the accommodating chamber has an outward image capturing device.

The main body of the tool head is different from the flexible cable with a see-through end cover at one end, and the see-through end cover has a plurality of decontamination sheets.

The image capturing device may have a wireless transmission module to wirelessly transmit image information.

A flexible sleeve can be further provided on the outside of the flexible cable, and the front end of the flexible sleeve is provided with a disk corresponding to the body of the working head.

To enable your reviewer to further understand the composition of the present invention, For features and other purposes, the following is a list of several preferred embodiments of the present invention, which are described in detail in conjunction with the drawings, and at the same time allow those familiar with the technical field to implement them according to this specification.
