Pipeline robot and method for conducting pipeline detecting through pipeline robot

Abstract

The invention relates to a pipeline robot and a method for conducting pipeline detecting through the pipeline robot. The robot comprises a control box (20) and a robot body (10). The part of the robot body (10) comprises a crawl device (11), a lifting arm (12) and a camera (13). A rocker or button on a control cabinet (20) is operated, the robot body (10) will execute corresponding motion, and execution of the motion needs to be controlled through control software. The control software can control zooming of the camera (13), can feed back the zooming times to a motor part, used for controlling the camera (13) to rotate and pitch, in the control software, and can change the rotating speed of rotation and pitching motors according to the zooming times of a lens.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of robots, and more specifically relates to a pipeline robot. Background technique [0002] Pipelines are widely used in many industries and are closely related to people's lives. In order to improve the life of the pipeline and prevent accidents caused by damage or blockage of the pipeline, regular maintenance must be carried out on the pipeline. However, due to the complexity of the pipeline, manual inspection cannot be realized in many places, and a pipeline robot that replaces manual inspection came into being. [0003] At present, pipeline robots on the market enter underground pipelines for detection by means of crawlers equipped with cameras. Both the crawler and the camera can be connected to an external manipulator wirelessly or wiredly, and the external manipulator controls the crawler's walking, turning, and camera rotation, pitching, zooming, etc. The detection of each part of the detection pipeline is ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In the prior art, the rotation and pitch adjustment of the camera are all realized by manually controlling the camera adjustment button or rocker, and the rotation angular velocity and pitch angular velocity of the camera are constant, which leads to the movement of the picture taken by the camera after the camera moves when the magnification is different. speed varies

Especially when the magnification of the lens is large, if the pitch angle of the camera is slightly adjusted, the picture captured in the lens will move quickly, making it difficult to capture the points that need to be captured in the pipeline during manual operation

The rotation and tilt speed of some product cameras can be adjusted manually, but in actual operation, after the lens is zoomed in, it is difficult to manually adjust the speed to a suitable speed, and it is still difficult to capture a suitable position in the pipeline

[0005] After searching, there is no relevant patent in the industry to solve the above problems
