Adaptive spiral walking pipeline robot

Abstract

The invention discloses an adaptive spiral walking pipeline robot which comprises a spiral walking device, a drive steering mechanism, a guide supporting device and a control system. The spiral walking device and the guide supporting device are positioned at two ends of the drive steering mechanism, the control system is electrically connected with the spiral walking device, the drive steering mechanism and the guide supporting device, both the spiral walking device and the guide supporting device comprise supporting wheels, link mechanisms, supporting disks and servo motors, the supporting wheels are connected with the servo motors through the link mechanisms, and the supporting wheels, the link mechanisms and the servo motors are integrally positioned between the supporting disks. By binding action of the spiral walking device and the guide supporting device with the steering mechanism, the problems of difficulty in pipeline operation and poor adaptability of a pipeline robot for different pipelines in the prior art can be effectively solved, and labor is greatly reduced. Operation safety and use values are improved, and the adaptive spiral walking pipeline robot is simple in structure and low in use cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pipeline walking machinery and equipment, in particular to an adaptive spiral pipeline walking robot. Background technique [0002] After a period of time, the pipeline will be damaged such as cracks, corrosion and blockage. Due to the narrow space in the pipeline, it is difficult for humans to enter the pipeline for inspection, repair, and cleaning. Therefore, robots are required to replace manual inspections into the pipeline for regular inspection. The pipeline robot is a kind of machine, electricity and instrument that can automatically walk along the inside or outside of a small pipeline, carry one or more sensors and operate machinery, and perform a series of pipeline operations under the remote operation of the staff or the automatic control of the computer. system. [0003] For the research on pipeline robots, there have been many studies on multi-wheel support structures in the past, and only th...
