pipe robot

Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of robots, specifically a pipeline robot, comprising a support unit and a walking unit, characterized in that the support unit includes a regular triangular prism-shaped main support, a connecting support and a bottom support, and the walking unit includes more than three The central axis of the regular triangular prism-shaped main frame is the center and three sets of track wheels are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction. The track wheels are installed on the bottom bracket. The triangular prism main bracket is connected to the bottom bracket through the connecting bracket. The brackets are hinged, the other end of the main bracket of the triangular prism is hinged with the bottom bracket, an electric push rod is arranged between the connecting bracket and the main bracket, one end of the electric push rod is hinged with the main bracket, and the other end of the electric push rod is hinged with the middle of the connecting bracket , has the advantages of providing a pipeline with strong adaptability, and three crawler wheels that can be independently retracted.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of robots, in particular to a pipeline robot. Background technique [0002] 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. Pipelines are widely used as an effective means of material transportation. In order to improve the life of pipelines and prevent accidents such as leakage, effective detection and maintenance of pipelines must be carried out. In the case of many shortcomings in the manual inspection method, the pipeline inspection robot has been used more and more as an effective pipeline inspection equipment. [0003] Three groups of crawler motion mechanisms are evenly distributed in the radial direction. It is a supported crawler pi...

Problems solved by technology

However, once there is an obstacle in the pipeline, it cannot pass through its own active adjustment, and the adaptability of the pipeline wall is very weak; in addition, the diameter of the pipeline robot changes little, and it can only detect single-diameter pipelines, which is poor in practicability, especially in the detection of large For pipelines, the diameter of the track wheels or the frame can only be enlarged, which makes the machine very heavy and inconvenient to transport and use. In addition, this robot is only equipped with a camera to perform image preprocessing, obtain edge information, and analyze the information inside the pipeline. Very limited access and control
