Abstract
A portable pipelining assembly featuring a dual pump system and a brush system for simultaneous delivery and application of multiple liquids is disclosed. Each pump system includes a motor-driven pump connected to a dedicated reservoir for storing distinct liquids, with fluid conveyed through individual hoses and output valves. The brush system, attached to a delivery end of both hoses, comprises a motorized handle base with dual conduits that channel each liquid to rotating brushes. The brushes, powered by a secondary motor, enable concurrent dispensing and mechanical treatment of surfaces using two separate fluids, enhancing pipelining efficiency. The distinct liquids can be an epoxy resin base and an epoxy catalyst, that when mixed together form an epoxy resin used for lining cast iron pipes.
Claims20
A portable pipelining assembly, the assembly comprising:
- a pump system, the pump system comprising:
- a first motor coupled to a power supply;
- a pump coupled to the first motor;
- a reservoir coupled to the pump and configured to store a liquid;
- a hose having a feed end with a first opening and a delivery end with a second opening, wherein the delivery end is opposite the feed end;
- and
- an output valve with a first end coupled to the pump and a second end coupled to the feed end of the hose;
- and
- a brush system coupled to the hose delivery end, the brush system comprising:
- a brush handle having a distal end;
- a handle base coupled to the distal end of the brush handle, wherein the handle base comprises (i) a second motor that rotates the handle base and (ii) a conduit comprising a first base opening in fluid communication with the hose delivery end, and a second base opening opposite the first base opening, wherein the first base opening is in fluid communication with the second base opening;
- and
- a plurality of brushes coupled to the handle base proximate to the second base opening, wherein the plurality of brushes rotate when the second motor rotates the handle base.
A portable pipelining assembly, the assembly comprising:
- a dual pump system comprising a first pump system and a second pump system, wherein the first pump system and the second pump system each comprise:
- a primary motor coupled to a power supply;
- a pump coupled to the primary motor;
- a reservoir coupled to the pump, wherein the reservoir of the first pump system is configured to store a first liquid and the reservoir of the second pump system is configured to store a second liquid;
- a hose having a feed end with a first opening and a delivery end with a second opening, wherein the delivery end is opposite the feed end;
- and
- an output valve with a first end coupled to the pump and a second end coupled to the feed end of the hose;
- and
- a brush system coupled to the hose delivery end of the first pump system and the hose delivery end of the second pump system, the brush system comprising:
- a brush handle having a distal end;
- a handle base coupled to the distal end of the brush handle, wherein the handle base comprises (i) a secondary motor that rotates the handle base, (ii) a first conduit comprising a first base opening in fluid communication with the hose delivery end of the first pump system, and a second base opening opposite the first base opening, wherein the first base opening is in fluid communication with the second base opening, and (iii) a second conduit comprising a third base opening in fluid communication with the hose delivery end of the second pump system, and a fourth base opening opposite the third base opening, wherein the third base opening is in fluid communication with the fourth base opening;
- and
- a first brush, a second brush, and a third brush coupled to the handle base proximate to the second base opening and the fourth base opening, wherein the plurality of brushes rotate when the secondary motor rotates the handle base.
A method of using a portable pipelining assembly, the method comprising:
- activating a primary motor in a pump system;
- receiving a liquid from a reservoir in the pump system;
- pumping the liquid through an output valve and a hose;
- receiving the liquid from the hose at a brush system, wherein the brush system comprises a first brush, a second brush, and a third brush;
- activating a secondary motor within the brush system to spin the first brush, the second brush, and the third brush;
- and
- applying the liquid to a pipe, wherein the first brush, the second brush, and the third brush dispense the liquid as a coating of uniform thickness on an interior surface of the pipe.
