Embodiment Construction

[0045] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Such as Figure 1 to Figure 3 As shown, a pipeline detection robot includes: a moving component, a lifting component, a horizontal rotation component, a pitching component, a longitudinal ranging sensor, a lateral ranging sensor and a camera.

[0047] The pipeline inspection robot can move in the pipeline and take images inside the pipeline. When the robot is moving in the pipeline, it can turn automatically. During the pipeline image capture process, the camera can be adjusted in height, left and right angles and pitch angles.

[0048] Such as Figure 4 to Figure 5 As shown, the moving assembly includes a steering wheel 1 , a first support platform 2 , a wheel frame 17 , a driving wheel 18 and a wheel driving mechanism 22 . The movement component is responsible for the movement of the robot within the pipeline.

[0049] Such as Im...

Abstract

The invention discloses a pipeline detecting robot and a detecting method thereof. The robot comprises a moving assembly, a lifting assembly, a horizontal rotating assembly, a pitching assembly, a vertical distance measuring sensor, a transverse distance measuring sensor and a camera. The pipeline detecting robot can move in a pipeline and shoot imagines in the pipeline. When the robot moves in the pipeline, the robot can automatically steer, during pipeline imagine shooting, the height, left and right angles and pitching angles of the camera can be adjusted. According to the pipeline detecting robot, defects of the pipeline can be convenient to detect by people, the amount of the manual operation of pipeline inner-wall detecting can be reduced, the efficiency of pipeline defect detecting can be improved, pipe diameter can be adapted to large range changing, and the insufficients that in the prior art, driving wheels slip or the height of the camera can not be adjusted are overcome.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a pipeline detection robot, in particular to a vision-based pipeline detection robot. Background technique [0002] There are various pipelines with different functions and sizes in daily life, such as oil pipelines, gas pipelines, underground communication cable pipelines, etc. These pipes need to be inspected before use to ensure there are no defects inside. In use, it is also necessary to check the inner wall of the pipeline frequently, so that the condition and defects of the inner wall of the pipeline can be found in time, and it is convenient to maintain the pipeline. [0003] For detection robots with different pipe diameters, the robot adopts a telescopic or slider mechanism. The driving wheel of the robot often slips during the movement of the pipe, which cannot adapt to a wide range of pipe diameters, or the shooting height of the camera cannot be adjusted. , affecting the effect of image capture.
