Abstract

The invention discloses a barrier-avoiding robot capable of walking in a space pipeline. The robot comprises a walking structure designed symmetrically. The walking structure is attached to the outer wall of the space pipeline in a split claw mode and comprises two telescopic arms (300), wherein the two telescopic arms (300) are driven by a telescopic motor (440) to rotate and be connected. Grabbing pipelines, disengagement pipelines and clamping claws (100) rotating around bases (200) are arranged at the lower ends of the telescopic arms (300) through the bases (200). The robot can cross over a barrier when walking in a straight pipeline and move on the space pipeline, and the solution is provided for detecting, maintaining and managing high-voltage electric pipelines and petroleum pipelines.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of pipeline crawling robots, in particular to a barrier-type space pipeline walking robot and method. Background technique [0002] The outer tube crawling robot has always been a hot spot in robot research. The outer tube crawling robot can complete many dangerous tasks on the tube wall, which greatly reduces the operational risk. [0003] Most of the existing external pipe wall crawling robots can only crawl on straight rods, and require no large protruding obstacles on the upper surface of the pipe, which greatly limits the range of motion of the robot. Manpower is required when pipeline changes are required. [0004] At present, many pipelines are detected manually, such as high-pressure oil pipelines, voltage transmission pipelines, etc. Due to the dangerous working environment, accidents occur frequently, and there are connecting joints on the surface of these pipelines, and some pipelines have 90-degree turnin...
