Problems solved by technology

[0003] Most of the current pipeline robots can only walk in pipelines with the same inner diameter. For complex curved pipelines or pipelines with different inner diameters, the pipeline robot cannot automatically adjust the pose to adapt to the inner diameter of the pipeline, so it cannot be used in such pipelines.

Abstract

The invention provides a pipeline walking robot which is provided with lower walking wheels installed at the bottom of a first support and upper walking wheels installed at the top of a second support. When the robot walks in a pipeline, the upper walking wheels and the lower walking wheels are supported on different parts of the inner side wall of the pipeline, and the inner wall of the pipeline generates reaction force and friction force on the upper walking wheels and the lower walking wheels so that the pipeline robot can be kept stable and balanced in the pipeline. A first supporting arm and a second supporting arm are arranged between the first support and the second support. The first supporting arm is installed on a screw rod through a first connecting block, and the second supporting arm is installed on a guide rod through a second connecting block. The screw rod rotates so that the first connecting block and the second connecting block can get close to each other or get away from each other, and therefore the second support is driven to ascend or descend. Thus, the distance between the upper walking wheels and the lower walking wheels can be enlarged or reduced so as to adapt to the change of the inner diameter of the pipeline, and therefore the pipeline walking robot can walk in the pipeline with a variable pipe diameter.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a pipeline walking robot. Background technique [0002] When inspecting and maintaining the pipeline, sometimes, due to the size limitation of the pipeline, the staff cannot enter the pipeline to carry out the work; sometimes, the staff entering the pipeline will be in danger of suffocation and poisoning; in these cases, just It is necessary to use the pipeline walking robot to enter the pipeline to work. Pipeline walking robot is a mechanical, electrical and instrument integrated system that can automatically walk along the interior of the pipeline, carry one or more sensors and operating machinery, and perform a series of pipeline operations under the remote control of the staff or the automatic control of the computer. . [0003] Most of the current pipeline robots can only walk in pipelines with the same inner diameter. For complex curved pipelines or pipelines with different inner diameters, the pipeline robot cannot aut...
