Definitions
- the present invention relates to an exterior pipe and pipe cleaning machine comprising a structure designed to be able to adapt and embrace ducts of different diameters.
- the machine is provided with supports to house pipe cleaning devices that, in general, will be power tools, such as grinders, planers or similar.
- the machine of the invention finds special application in the industry related to the maintenance of oil and gas pipeline networks, as well as any type of conduits or pipes in general.
- the present invention avoids these disadvantages by providing a duct cleaning machine that adapts to a wide range of duct diameters with high versatility and efficiency.
- the object of the present invention is an external duct cleaning machine.
- the machine of the invention comprises a structure formed by two discs and a plurality of bars that join them.
- the discs have an opening and closing system by means of which they allow the structure to be located and fixed around a conduit for cleaning.
- the machine of the invention also incorporates a system for displacement through the duct, attached to the structure, and at least one duct cleaning device located on a support that is attached to the structure.
- a system for displacement through the duct attached to the structure, and at least one duct cleaning device located on a support that is attached to the structure.
- the present invention refers to conduits, this should be understood in a generic and non-restrictive manner, including all types of conduits, tubes or pipes. In this way, the machine of the invention can be used for all types of ducts, being able to eliminate both the outer covering of the ducts and the remains of rust or impurities present.
- the machine of the invention can incorporate a counterweight to facilitate rotational movement through the duct when used manually by an operator.
- the machine of the invention can incorporate a motor to activate the displacement system, so that the use of the machine can be carried out autonomously.
- the machine can have a microprocessor incorporated in which a certain movement or route is programmed, simply a receiver through which the machine can be controlled through a remote control or any other remote control system.
- the cleaning device that incorporates the machine is an electric tool such as a grinder, a planer, a sander or a similar tool that, as an abrasive medium, can incorporate a wire brush, a sandpaper or combinations of these or other known means to achieve this result.
- the support for housing the cleaning device can also comprise an element for regulating the distance to the conduit, which can be, for example, a screw.
- the regulating element allows the proximity of the cleaning device to the duct to be adjusted to the required extent, thereby being able to regulate the degree of brushing and thereby achieve greater homogeneity in the finish.
- the displacement system is normally a set of bearings that can be ball or cylindrical, the latter being able to incorporate systems for displacement in any direction.
- the structure of the machine can have between 2 and 12 bars.
- the system for opening and closing the disc to hug and adapt to the duct can be a hinge that can be complemented with some safety mechanism to avoid uncontrolled openings.
- Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the cleaning machine acting on a duct.
- Figure 2 represents a sectional view of the machine of the invention counterweight showing additional details.
- the present invention relates to a machine for the external cleaning of ducts and pipes.
- the machine comprises a structure (1) designed to be able to adapt and embrace pipes of different diameters and is provided with supports (6) to house cleaning elements (9).
- the ducts are usually metallic, the duct material is not a limitation for the machine of the present invention.
- the machine of the invention comprises a structure (1), preferably metal, which externally embraces a conduit.
- the structure (1) comprises two discs (2), which are positioned in parallel joined together by a plurality of bars (3) transverse and parallel to the duct they embrace.
- the discs (2) incorporate an opening system (4), so that they can be opened and closed around the conduit, said opening system (4) in the preferred embodiment of the invention is configured by a hinge.
- the machine incorporates a closing mechanism whereby unwanted openings are avoided.
- said closing mechanism is formed by a trigger or by a pin.
- the machine object of the invention also incorporates a displacement system (5), which allows the machine to be moved along the duct both longitudinally and radially.
- the machine additionally comprises two supports (6) designed to fix the corresponding cleaning devices (9).
- the supports (6) are formed by plates and arms joined by bolts and screws that create a structure for fixing the cleaning devices (9).
- Each support (6) incorporates a regulating element (7) that has the function of regulating the position of the support (6), so that the cleaning devices (9) fixed to the support (6) are positioned at the required distance with with respect to the duct. In this way, you can perform the cleaning of ducts of different sizes and even use cleaning devices (9) of different sizes on the same machine.
- the machine of the invention incorporates counterweights (8) attached to the structure (1).
- the counterweights (8) By means of the counterweights (8) the inertia of the machine is increased and the longitudinal and radial displacement of the machine through the conduit being cleaned is greatly facilitated, since said displacement is carried out by an operator manually.
- the machine object of the invention in an alternative embodiment, comprises a motor attached to the displacement system (5), by means of said motor, the machine is provided with autonomy of movement, whereby the machine has the possibility of moving itself alone, avoiding the inconvenience of relying on the manual work of an operator.
