Robot for cleaning and detecting pipes

Abstract

The invention relates to a robot for cleaning and detecting pipes. The robot comprises a mechanical system and a control system. The mechanical system is provided with a moving trolley and a cleaning operation device positioned on the trolley; the tail part of the moving trolley is provided with a detection device and a positioning guiding device, the detection device is a camera (1) and the positioning guiding device is a device capable of causing the trolley to advance in parallel; and the cleaning operation device comprises a cleaning arm (15), a cleaning arm lifting mechanism positioned at the front of the moving trolley, a cleaning arm opening-closing mechanism positioned on a second operating platform (14) and a cleaning brush mechanism positioned at the front end of the cleaning arm, the cleaning brush mechanism is provided with four small brushes (23) and a pressure sensor (22), and various small brushes are always in close contact with inner walls of the pipes by synchronous detection and feedback adjustment of the pressure sensor. The robot has the advantages of large effective working area, being capable of cleaning off a plurality of pollutants, no whipping and low cost, and being suitable for cleaning operation of a plurality of round pipes including pipes with changing pipe diameters and being capable of prolonging service life of the pipes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a robot, in particular to a pipeline cleaning and detection robot. Background technique [0002] There are various ventilation pipes, gas pipes, oil pipes, sewers, water pipes, etc. in China. Industrial pipes play an important role in the national economy and the people's livelihood. Once a pipe fails, it will not only cause huge economic losses, but also relatively difficult to troubleshoot . Therefore, regular cleaning and testing of pipelines is very important for enterprises. [0003] Pipeline robots are still in the primary stage of development in my country, and projects such as pipeline maintenance, monitoring, and dust removal are relatively backward. Most of the existing domestic products are improvements to imported equipment in the late 1970s. Caused a lot of problems that are not suitable for today's use. There are also some companies that directly import foreign pipeline cleaning robots for cleaning and testing, ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although the cleaning arm can be adjusted up and down and rotated 360°, it is necessary to clean all parts of the pipe wall point by point, and it is impossible to complete one-time cleaning; at the same time, the length of the cleaning arm is limited, and it is difficult to achieve satisfactory results for cleaning pipes with variable diameters; The rotation speed of the rotating brush head is very high, but the overall stability of the robot is not good, and it is prone to tail flicking and other phenomena
