Problems solved by technology

With the passage of time, cable aging and corrosion will inevitably occur. If the cable runs in an unhealthy state for a long time, it will inevitably cause transmission failure.
At present, the cable tunnel (pipe) mainly adopts the method of manual inspection. Since the tunnel (pipe) is closed for a long time, it is inevitable to accumulate some toxic and harmful gases, and it operates in a high-voltage environment, and there are great safety hazards for the staff. ; And for cable tunnels (pipes) that cannot be manually inspected in a small space, there is currently no suitable inspection method

Embodiment Construction

[0015] The present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0016] Such as figure 1 and figure 2 As shown, the small crawler-type cable tunnel inspection robot consists of a left walking crawler mechanism 4, a right walking crawler mechanism 1, an attitude setting mechanism 3, a camera 2 with a pan-tilt, a sensor 5 and a base 3-1. The sensor group 5 is composed of a carbon monoxide sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, a carbon dioxide sensor, a sulfur dioxide sensor, a smoke sensor and a methane sensor. From the appearance, the left walking crawler mechanism is composed of a left outer shell 4-1, a left inner casing 4-5, a left crawler belt 4-3, a left battery cover 4-2 and a left walking crawler drive cover 4-4; a right walking crawler mechanism Consists of right shell 1-4, right inner shell 1-2, right crawler belt 1-3 and right walking crawler belt driving cover 1-1.

Abstract

The invention discloses a miniature crawler-type cable tunnel patrol robot, which relates to a robot capable of realizing cable tunnel/pipeline patrolling. The robot consists of two independent crawlers, a substrate, a posture setting mechanism, a camera with a holder, and a sensor. The posture setting mechanism is arranged in the substrate. The camera with the holder is arranged on the substrate. The two crawlers are positioned on the left and right sides of the substrate respectively, and are in rotational connection with driving connecting rods on the substrate and the posture setting mechanism by two groups of shafts respectively. The sensor is arranged on the substrate. The left and right independently driven crawlers are adopted, and a posture included angle formed by the two groups of crawlers can be set, so the robot can be adapted to either the smooth-riding surfaces of cable tunnels or the arched surfaces of pipelines of different diameters by regulating the posture included angle, and realizes advancing, stepping-back and various turning motions by controlling the motions of the left and right crawlers. The robot realizes the automatic patrolling of underground transmission lines.

Description

technical field [0001] A small crawler-type cable tunnel inspection robot relates to the application field of robot technology, in particular to a robot capable of realizing cable tunnel (pipe) inspection. Background technique [0002] In order to reduce the impact of natural disasters on the transmission network, improve the appearance of the city, avoid interference between overhead cables and ground buildings, and consider the convenience of cable expansion and maintenance, more and more cables are transported by underground tunnels (pipes) . With the passage of time, cable aging and corrosion will inevitably occur. If the cable runs in an unhealthy state for a long time, it will inevitably cause power transmission failure. At present, the cable tunnel (pipe) mainly adopts the method of manual inspection. Since the tunnel (pipe) is closed for a long time, it is inevitable to accumulate some toxic and harmful gases, and it operates in a high-voltage environment, and there...
