Abstract

A broken pipe extractor for removing a broken pipe from a pipe joint includes a hollow pipe body, a first blocking block, a second blocking block, and a hook needle assembly. The first blocking block is located in the pipe body for fixing one end of the pipe joint. The first blocking block defines a through hole. A diameter of the through hole is greater than or equal to an inner diameter of the pipe joint. The second blocking block is movably fixed to one end of the pipe body for fixing another end of the pipe joint. The hook needle assembly is configured to be inserted through the through hole of the first blocking block and extend to the broken pipe to remove the broken pipe.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A broken pipe extractor for removing a broken pipe from a pipe joint, the broken pipe extractor comprising:
a hollow pipe body;
a first blocking block located in the pipe body for fixing one end of the pipe joint, the first blocking block defining a through hole;
a second blocking block movably fixed to one end of the pipe body for fixing another end of the pipe joint; and
a hook needle assembly configured to be inserted through the through hole of the first blocking block and extend to the broken pipe to remove the broken pipe.

2. The broken pipe extractor of claim 1 , wherein:
the hook needle assembly comprises a needle head and a needle rod coupled to the needle head;
the needle rod is configured to be inserted through the first blocking block; and
the needle head is configured to protrude from the first blocking block and hook the broken pipe.

3. The broken pipe extractor of claim 2 , wherein:
the needle head is elastic;
when the needle head protrudes from the first blocking block, an extension direction of the needle head and a length direction of the pipe body form an included angle θ; and
0°<θ<90°.

4. The broken pipe extractor of claim 3 , wherein:
the hook needle assembly further comprises a needle sleeve; and
the needle sleeve is sleeved on the needle rod and the needle head.

5. The broken pipe extractor of claim 4 , further comprising a third blocking block, wherein:
the needle sleeve comprises a protrusion located at one end of the needle sleeve;
the first blocking block is located between the third blocking block and the second blocking block;
the needle sleeve is inserted into the third blocking block and extends to the first blocking block;
an outer diameter of the protrusion is larger than an inner diameter of the third blocking block; and
the third blocking block is configured to limit a position of the needle sleeve.

6. The broken pipe extractor of claim 1 , wherein:
an outer wall of the second blocking block and an inner wall of the pipe body are provided with matching threads.

7. The broken pipe extractor of claim 1 , wherein:
the pipe body defines a first opening located between the first blocking block and the second blocking block.

8. The broken pipe extractor of claim 7 , wherein:
the pipe body further comprises at least one scale groove; and
the first blocking block is located between the at least one scale groove and the first opening.

9. The broken pipe extractor of claim 8 , wherein:
the pipe body further defines a second opening; and
the second opening is located between the first blocking block and the at least one scale groove.

10. The broken pipe extractor of claim 1 , further comprising a pulling member, wherein:
the pulling member is coupled to one end of the hook needle assembly.

11. A broken pipe extractor comprising:
a hollow pipe body;
a first blocking block located in the pipe body for fixing one end of a pipe joint received in the pipe body, the first blocking block defining a through hole;
a second blocking block movably fixed to one end of the pipe body for fixing another end of the pipe joint; and
a hook needle assembly configured to be inserted through the through hole of the first blocking block and extend to a broken pipe in the pipe joint to hook and remove the broken pipe from the pipe joint.

12. The broken pipe extractor of claim 11 , wherein:
the hook needle assembly comprises a needle head and a needle rod coupled to the needle head;
the needle rod is configured to be inserted through the first blocking block; and
the needle head is configured to protrude from the first blocking block and hook the broken pipe.

13. The broken pipe extractor of claim 12 , wherein:
the needle head is elastic;
when the needle head protrudes from the first blocking block, an extension direction of the needle head and a length direction of the pipe body form an included angle θ; and
0°<θ<90°.

14. The broken pipe extractor of claim 13 , wherein:
the hook needle assembly further comprises a needle sleeve; and
the needle sleeve is sleeved on the needle rod and the needle head.

15. The broken pipe extractor of claim 14 , further comprising a third blocking block, wherein:
the needle sleeve comprises a protrusion located at one end of the needle sleeve;
the first blocking block is located between the third blocking block and the second blocking block;
the needle sleeve is inserted into the third blocking block and extends to the first blocking block;
an outer diameter of the protrusion is larger than an inner diameter of the third blocking block; and
the third blocking block is configured to limit a position of the needle sleeve.

16. The broken pipe extractor of claim 15 , wherein:
an outer wall of the second blocking block and an inner wall of the pipe body are provided with matching threads.

17. The broken pipe extractor of claim 16 , wherein:
the pipe body defines a first opening located between the first blocking block and the second blocking block.

18. The broken pipe extractor of claim 17 , wherein:
the pipe body further comprises at least one scale groove; and
the first blocking block is located between the at least one scale groove and the first opening.

19. The broken pipe extractor of claim 18 , wherein:
the pipe body further defines a second opening; and
the second opening is located between the first blocking block and the at least one scale groove.

20. The broken pipe extractor of claim 19 , further comprising a pulling member, wherein:
the pulling member is coupled to one end of the hook needle assembly.
