Problems solved by technology

[0003]Most of the driving wheel structures in the current spiral pipe inner wall walking robot adopt a single-layer wheel structure with radial springs or a double-layer wheel with radial springs structure, the driving wheel of these two structures is directly connected with the cylindrical spring, and the driving wheel is pressed against the pipe wall by the spring force. This kind of structure is simple, but it is easy to twist during the rotation process, making the robot's movement unstable; and this kind of The spring used in the structure needs to occupy a large radial space, which is not suitable for small pipe diameters

Abstract

The invention discloses a spiral pipeline inner wall walking device. The pipeline inner wall walking device comprises a gear motor device, a guide wheel mechanism and a driving wheel mechanism; the guide wheel mechanism sleeves the outer side of the gear motor device; the gear motor device drives the driving wheel mechanism to rotate; the driving wheel mechanism comprises at least two roller supports which are uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of a rotary shaft; the roller supports are arranged in a manner of being capable of mutually approaching or departing radially along the rotary shaft; the driving wheel mechanism further comprises springs; and elastic force of the springs can drive the roller supports to mutually depart. According to the spiral pipeline inner wall walking device, the springs press fixed plates to drive driving wheels walk along the inner wall of a pipe, so that movement of the driving wheels is more stable; the driving wheels do not twist easily; and the spiral pipeline inner wall walking device is applicable to various different small pipe diameters.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of pipeline inner wall walking, in particular to a spiral type pipeline inner wall walking device. Background technique [0002] Pipelines are the main means of transportation for natural gas, oil, and urban water supply systems. Maintenance, testing, machining and other operations are required in the pipeline. Compared with the manual operation method, the running mechanism on the inner wall of the pipeline has the advantages of safety, convenience and high efficiency. Among the many walking mechanisms on the inner wall of the pipeline, the screw drive has the advantages of simple structure and easy miniaturization. [0003] Most of the driving wheel structures in the current spiral pipe inner wall walking robot adopt a single-layer wheel structure with radial springs or a double-layer wheel structure with radial springs. The driving wheels of these two structures are directly connected to the cylindrical springs. ...
