Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in the actual operation process of the above-mentioned robots, there are still situations where the adaptability to the pipe diameter is low. For example, the ikuta robot has accelerated its speed but to a limited extent, and the operating cost of strengthening its power is relatively high, resulting in unnecessary loss of resources
A method like this can only alleviate rather than eliminate the above-mentioned contradictions, and cannot well adapt to changes in pipe diameter while running at high speed

Abstract

The invention discloses a vision robot which is capable of replacing workers to conduct regular inspection on pipes with different pipe diameters. The robot is composed of a mechanical power system and an image transmission system. In the mechanical power system, engagement of a worm gear and a gear and engagement of the gear and a driving wheel are utilized to achieve movement of the robot after a power supply provides energy, a control circuit is utilized to control the advancing direction of the robot, and the advancing direction is transmitted to a receiving screen through a data line for workers to observe. The robot has extremely significant meaning on helping the workers to conduct various pipe regular inspections and explorations. Further, limit factors of a trolley are few in number, and the trolley can adapt to pipes with different pipe diameters through a wheel type diameter reducing system. In the image transmission system, various pipes can be adapted through a vehicle-mounted camera, the robot is strong in power, all gear groups are of engagement structure, and the robot is simple and reliable in structure and high in working efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a vision robot, in particular to a pipeline detection robot based on a real-time image transmission system, which is suitable for helping workers to check the internal conditions of the pipeline. Background technique [0002] Pipeline detection robot is one of the hot fields of scientific research at present. There are many pipeline robots at home and abroad that are widely used in pipeline inspection and repair and other occasions. Pipeline detection robots are generally divided into wheeled or peristaltic structures in structure. The wheeled robot, in the case of determining the diameter of the pipeline, can realize rapid pipeline observation through its powerful power system. Worm robots can detect pipes with different diameters when time is sufficient. But at the same time, there is a set of contradictions: when the speed is relatively high, the adaptability to the pipe diameter is almost zero; while when the adaptability...
