Embodiment 1

[0032] Such as figure 1 — Figure 5As shown, a flexible pipeline robot includes a turning mechanism. The turning mechanism includes a first bushing 1 and a second bushing 2. The first bushing 1 and the second bushing 2 are hinged, and the second bushing 2 is fixed by screws. There is a turning motor 3, and the output shaft of the turning motor 3 is welded to the first axle sleeve 1 and the second axle sleeve 2 to carry out hinged rotating shaft welding; the two ends of the turning mechanism are symmetrically provided with a walking mechanism, and the walking mechanism includes a rotating shaft 4 and a walking wheel. Group, telescopic and diameter-reducing mechanism, the ends of the first shaft sleeve 1 and the second shaft sleeve 2 that are far away from each other are connected to the rotating shaft 4, the rotating shaft 4 is provided with a threaded end, and the first shaft sleeve 1 and the second shaft sleeve 2 are both provided with There are threaded holes, and the rotat...

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of robots, in particular to a flexible pipeline robot. The flexible pipeline robot comprises a turning mechanism, wherein walking mechanisms are symmetrically arranged at the two ends of the turning mechanism, each walking mechanism comprises a rotating shaft, a walking wheel set and a telescopic reducing mechanism, one ends of the rotating shafts are connected with the turning mechanism, the walking wheel sets are arranged at the other ends of the rotating shafts, and the telescopic reducing mechanisms sleeve the rotating shafts so as to perform telescopic reducing on the walking wheel sets. According to the telescopic flexible pipeline robot, under the condition that the size of the robot is small, the robot can well penetrate through a horizontal or inclined or vertical Y-shaped pipe, a four-way pipe and the like, and the robot can be flexibly changed in a pipeline and has strong universality.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of robots, and more particularly, to a flexible pipeline robot. Background technique [0002] As an efficient transportation method, pipeline transportation is used to transport oil, gas and chemical products due to its advantages of large transportation volume, stable transportation, low investment and small land occupation. In a natural environment, pipelines will corrode to varying degrees over time. In order to improve the service life of pipelines and prevent pipeline leakage, regular monitoring and maintenance of pipelines is essential. The emergence of pipeline robots provides an effective way for pipeline monitoring and maintenance. [0003] Although there are many types of pipeline robots on the market, there are still problems such as the single type of pipeline and the inability to pass through vertical four-way pipes. For example, Chinese Patent No. CN205938338U, this device belongs to...
