In some embodiments, the actuator 2 may not have the output shaft 10. The actuator 2 is mounted on the outside (outside) tubes 1, the actuator 2 can be installed on the pipe 1 itself, and the riser 12 to 20 depending on the performance of a sewer system.
W control unit is also mounted outside the pipe 1, the panel W is linked (coupled) with a drive 2 one or more wired or wireless channels (lines) 11 connection. Panel 3 may be configured to programming or without this possibility, i.e., may have a manual control (control performed by clicking on the start button (switch) of the actuator 2, and also possible to stop the forced drive via respective “stop” button on the remote W). Also console 3 may have a separate GSM communication unit (not shown) and is associated with a mobile device (not shown) via one or more communication channels (e.g., the Internet). The control panel 3 is possible via any mobile device that has Internet access, and special software (mobile application) to control 3. In operation console 3 in the manual mode, the user presses the start button actuator 2 and starts the cleaning cycle of the pipe 1. When the panel 3 in the automatic mode, the given program actuator inclusion 2: once a day or once a week or once a month etc. Also control 3 may be associated with a “smart house” system and the cleaning cycle can be run through its overall system, or start a cleaning cycle, able to finish using mobile devices at any convenient time for the user. The movable member 4 can be formed as a flexible cable (or another metal, for example, the line thickness of one to three millimeters (1-3 mm), Which is positioned inside the tube 1 and associated with rollers 5 which is preset and fixed on the inner surface of the pipe 1. The apparatus may include one or more video clips 55 depending on the length (distance) of sewer pipe 1. The cable 1 may be positioned within the pipe I and without 5 use of clips if sewer pipe 1 has a short length and simple form (without bending). Also, the movable member 4 can be formed as a cylindrical spiral (helical, twisted, helical element FIG. 5) formed, for example, of a rigid wire of stainless steel. A cylindrical helix and disposed within the tube 1 along it around the portion of the spout 17 to the junction of the tube 1 with the riser 12. Regardless of the embodiment of the movable member 4 (flexible cable or cylindrical spiral), it is associated with two drive reversibly moving (motion) within the tube 1. The cleaning tool 6 is formed in a cylindrical (circular) of the brush (Yorshik) having the shape of the inner surface of the pipe 1. The cleaning tool 6 a (set in the initial position) inside the tube 1 in its end remote from the maximum common riser 12, the pipe portion is (discharging portion) connecting the drain pipe 17 (the last user of the riser 10) with the riser 12. The cleaning tool 6 is mounted on the movable member 4 with the possibility of reciprocating displacement inside the tube 1 along it. In the case of using as the cable member 4, the cleaning tool 6 is rigidly connected with a rope, and in the case of using as 1 spiral cylindrical element 4, the cleaning tool 6 is associated with the element 4 to move it along the pipe 1. In the case of the element 6 is movable on the element 2, the element 6 is equipped with a sleeve 13 (the base), which has inner projections (pins) 14 disposed between the turns of a cylindrical helix to interact with them. Also, the cleaning tool 6 is provided with a magnetic element 15 (e.g., a magnetic ring) to react with a limit switch 16 (contacts contactors), normally open contacts actuator 2 for its reverse motion and stop. Limit switches 25 mounted first pipe 1 (at the posts with the riser 12), and at the end of the pipe 1 (in the place of installation of the drive unit 2. Depending on the distance (the total length) serviced diameter sewer pipe 1 and form its performance (with or without curves), the following embodiments of the installation device for pipe cleaning elements may be used 1. 1) FIG. 1. The actuator 2 is installed outside the total riser 12 communicated with the beginning of the riser pipe 1. The device 12 in place 2 setting, a hole is drilled for the cable is inserted into the insertion hole 7 through which the cable is pulled, the insert 7 tightly compresses the cable. At the end of the pipe 1 is installed a cleaning means 10 self-resetting tool (coil spring 8 with 9). One end of the cable, which is rigidly mounted on the element 6 is connected (linked) with the spring 9 so that the member 6 is located at the end of the tube 1 (outside of the drain portion) when relaxed (relaxed) state of the spring 9. The other end of the cable 15 associated with the output shaft 10 (drum) of the actuator 2. The actuator 2 Connect remote control 3. The device in this case is as follows. The user clicks on the remote control key 3 or the remote control sends a command to Z via mobile device, a remote actuator 3 automatically gives a start command 220 according to a predetermined program, the start (on) the actuator 2 and the cleaning cycle begins. Rotating in one direction the drive shaft 10, winds the wire 2 itself, thus rigidly connected to the cable tool 6 is moved along the pipe 1, scouring and removing any deposits in the pipe 1 towards a common riser, 12. Having reached the central riser 12, the instrument resets 6 all removed deposits in the riser 12. Compressed insert wire 7 is wound on the shaft 10 is cleaned of plaque due to the tight compression (coverage). When the cable is wound onto the shaft 10 the other end of the rope stretches (decompresses) the spring 9, resulting in its stressed state. When the tool reaches the start of the tube 6 (the point of connection to the riser 12, i.e. its end position) to the drive command 2 is supplied (a signal, for example, the stress state of the spring 5 or the circuit from the limit switch 16 on the tube 1, the magnetic member 15, or and any other known way possible) and the shaft 10 of the actuator 2 comes in a neutral position (for free rotation in any direction), or starts to rotate in the opposite direction. Spring 9 begins to contract and pull 10 associated with it one end of a cable on which is fixed the tool 6. The other end of the cable is unwound, and the tool 6 moves due to the compression spring 9 to the initial position (at the end of the tube 1). Thus, movement of the tool 6 to the original position is carried out by means of a spring associated with the cable 9. When the tool reaches 6 initial position signal is supplied to the actuator 2 and the cleaning cycle ends, which can be repeated at any time. 2) It is also possible, when the coil 8 is not used, and the cable is pulled along the pipe 1 and throws the roller 5 through to (associated with) mounted within the tube 1. In this case, the actuator 2 is mounted either at the end of the pipe (the cable hole is drilled at the site of installation of the actuator 2), and the roller 5, through which the slack cable is set at the beginning of the tube (where posts with the riser 12, FIG. 2). Alternatively, the actuator 2 is mounted on the riser, 12 and the roller 5 is mounted at the end of the pipe 1 (FIG. 3. In both these cases, both ends of the cable associated with the shaft 10 of the actuator 2 with the possibility of winding the cable on the shaft 10 in opposite directions (opposite ends of the cable winding), and the tool 6 is mounted at the end of the tube 1 is discharging portion. The device in this case is as follows. The user using the remote 32 starts the drive. The one-way rotating shaft 10 of the drive 2 turns one end of the cable onto itself, the other end 5 of the cable (already opposite wound earlier) being unwound. Cable rolled through roller 5 and tool 6 rigidly installed on it move along pipe 1, scraping off and removing all deposits in pipe 1 towards common riser 12. Reaching the central riser 12, the tool 6 drops all removed deposits in riser 12. Cable compressed by inserts (7) is cleaned from raids at winding and unwinding on shaft (10) in both directions. At achievement tool 6 of final situation (the beginnings of pipe 1—the place of the message with a strut 12) on drive 2 gives the command (a signal, for example, from full unwinding of a cable and its tension, or from to close the limit switch 16 on the pipe 1 by a magnetic element 15, or in any other known and possible manner) and the shaft 10 of the drive 2 starts to rotate in the reverse direction. At that the unwound end of the cable begins to be wound on the shaft 10, the end of the cable is wound on the shaft 10—unwound, and the tool 6 moves with cable to initial position (to end of pipe 1). When the tool 6 reaches its initial position, a signal is sent to the actuator 2 and the cleaning cycle ends, which can be repeated at any time. H) FIG. 4. It is also possible to install the device on long distances of the sewer pipes 1 when the cable is drawn along the pipe 1 and passed through rollers 5 which are installed inside the pipe 1 at its beginning, at the end and also at the place of installation of the drive 2. In this case, the actuator 2 is installed either at the beginning of the pipe (in the point of communication with the riser 12), or the actuator 2 is installed in the middle of the tube 1 or in another section of the tube 1, and sewer tees or adapters (not shown) may be used. In these cases, both ends of the cable are coupled to shaft 10 c5 can be wound in opposite directions, and tool 6 is installed at the end of pipe 1. Holes for inserts 7 are formed in pipe 1 or in T-joint at place of installation of drive 2. The device works in this case as follows. The user starts the drive (2) using the console (C). Movement 10 of the cable is carried out by means of its winding and unwinding by means of the drive 2, i.e. the shaft 10 of the drive 2 rotating in one direction turns one end of the cable on itself, at the same time the other end of the cable (already opposite wound earlier) is unwound. Cable rolled over rollers (5) and tool (6) rigidly installed on it 15 are moved along the tube 1, scraping and removing all deposits in the tube 1 towards the common riser 12. After reaching the central riser 12, the tool 6 drops all removed deposits into the riser 12. Cable compressed by inserts (7) is cleaned from raids at winding and unwinding on shaft (10) in both directions. When the tool reaches 6 beginnings of a pipe (places of the message with a strut 12) on drive 2 the command is given (a signal, for example, from full unwinding of a cable and its tension, or from short circuit of limit switch 16 on a pipe 1 magnetic element 15, or in any other known and possible way) and the shaft of the 10th drive 2 begins to rotate in the opposite direction. At that, the unwound end of the cable starts winding, and the end of the cable wound on the shaft 10 starts unwinding, and the tool 6 moves with the cable to the initial position (to the end of the pipe 1). When the tool 6 reaches its initial position, a signal is sent to the actuator 2 and the cleaning cycle ends, which can be repeated at any time. 4) FIG. 5. It is possible to install the drive 2 at the end of the pipe 1, a longitudinal twisted movable member 4 is used, is made in the form of a cylindrical spiral which is installed inside the pipe along its entire length and coaxially to it. Here, only one end of the spiral is connected to the drive 2, the movement of the spiral being carried out by rotating it to both sides about its axis by the drive 2. The second end of the spiral is fixed on the riser 12, either at the beginning of the pipe 1 or not fixed. The tool 6 is in this case mounted at the end of the pipe at the point where the spiral is connected to the actuator 2. The device works in this case as follows. The user starts the drive 2 with the help of the panel 3 and rotates the spiral (element 4). Rotating, the spiral contacts, the projections 14 of the tool 6 between the spiral turns and push the projections 14 with their turns, while the tool 6 moves along the tube 1, scraping and removing all deposits in the tube 1 towards the common riser 12. After reaching the central riser 12, the tool 6 drops all removed deposits into the riser 12. When the tool 6 reaches the beginning of the pipe 1 (the place of communication with the riser 12), a command is applied to the drive 2 (a signal, for example, from the magnetic element 15 closing the limit switch 16 on the pipe 1, or in any other known and possible manner) and the drive 2 starts rotating the spiral in the reverse direction (drive 2) is switched off and reverse motion is started). The spiral also pushes the projections 14 in the reverse direction and the tool 6 moves to the initial position (end of the pipe 1). When the tool 6 reaches its initial position, a signal is applied to the actuator 2 (e.g. also by closing the limit switch 16) and the cleaning cycle ends, which can be repeated at any time. Thus, when the member 4 is rotated to one side, the tool 6 is moved along the pipe 1 from its end to its beginning, which is in communication with the riser 125, and when the tool 6 is rotated to the other side, it is moved back to its original position. In any of the above-mentioned versions of the installation of the elements of the pipe cleaning device 1, the method of cleaning the sewage pipeline 1 is carried out as follows. By means of a panel 3 installed outside the pipe, the user drives (includes) an actuator 2 also installed outside the pipe I and connected to the panel 3 by one or more communication channels 11. After the actuator 2 is switched on, it starts to move the movable element 4 connected to it (moves with by means of rollers 5 and cable or without them, or rotates spiral) and cleaning tool 6 installed on movable element 4, which are located inside pipe 1. Cleaning tool 6 is moved by means of movable element 4 along pipe 1 from initial position of cleaning tool 6 to of its final position. In the initial position, the cleaning tool 6 is located at the end of the pipe 1 outside the portion of the pipe 1 connecting the drain pipe 17 of the end user to the riser 12, and the final position of the tool 6 is located at the point where the pipe 1 is connected to the riser 12. When reaching cleaning, the end position tool 6, by means of the actuator 2 and the movable member 4, moves the cleaning tool 6 to the initial position by reverse rotation of the actuator 2 (reverse motion). When the tool 6 reaches its initial position, the cleaning cycle ends. At all this, the drive 2 is a reversible reduction motor, and the cleaning tool 6 is a screen (cylindrical brush) which may have a magnetic element 15 for interacts with one or more limit switches 16 mounted on one or both ends of the tube 1 and designed to close the contacts of the actuator 2 to stop or trigger reversible movement there. For the best cleaning of pipe 1 from clogs device may be provided with means for supplying water, preferably hot, which means includes an automatic faucet 18 connected to the panel 3 and a pipe 19, one end of which is connected to the valve 18 and the other end of which is inserted into the drain pipe 17 at the location of the tool 6. Actuation of valve (18) may be is performed automatically along with starting of the whole cleaning system at pressing the button of panel 3, as well as manual actuation of the valve is possible also by pressing the start button on the valve 18. When the cleaning tool is moved 6 from its initial position to its final position and back into the pipe 1, hot water is supplied which, together with the 20 tool, 6 removes the clumps formed into the riser 12. Thus, thanks to such implementation and implementation of the group of inventions, it is possible to provide accessible, fast and high-quality cleaning of household sewage pipelines. As a result of implementation of the proposed group of inventions simplifies the entire process of cleaning the pipeline, which can be carried out at any convenient time for the consumer, without necessarily involving the consumer in the cleaning process, since all elements of the device have a stationary arrangement and control. They can be carried out by means of a separate control panel 3. Also, due to the fact that the device has a cleaning tool 6 and its individual drive 2, it is not necessary to permanently install and remove the device, as well as to use other means of cleaning (chemical or mechanical). As a result of the supply of the sewage system with the proposed cleaning device, which is installed stationary and does not require constant installation and dismantling, the pipeline cleaning process is completely mechanized, the need for partial or complete disassembly of the drain system, as well as complete elimination of manual process of pipeline cleaning. In addition, it is possible to carry out preventive cleaning of pipes from minor clogs at any time, as a result of which the sewer pipe will never be clogged, which is significant saves both material and time.
