Radio-controlled robot suitable for narrow reducing pipeline

Abstract

The invention discloses a radio-controlled robot suitable for a narrow reducing pipeline. The radio-controlled robot comprises a plurality of power plants which are connected in series through a flexible wire rope, wherein a radio control device is connected between two adjacent power plants; each power plant comprises a telescopic rod; two support sleeves are arranged at the two ends of each telescopic rod; a plurality of DC brushless motor sets and support rods, which are alternately arranged, are hinged to the peripheral edges of the support sleeves; the brushless motor sets and the supports rods on the two support sleeves of each telescopic rod are hinged together; a planetary reducer is connected to the output end of each DC brushless motor set; a driving wheel is externally connected to each planetary reducer; a spring is arranged in each telescopic rod; and the two ends of each spring are fixedly connected to the two support sleeves of the corresponding telescopic rod. The radio-controlled robot is simple in structure and high in reliability, can adapt to complicated changes of the diameter and the angle of the pipeline, can also run freely in a vertical pipeline, and can realize medium-distance and long-distance radio control for pipeline operation.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of robot equipment, in particular to a wireless control robot suitable for narrow pipes with variable diameters. Background technique [0002] For a long time, pipelines have been widely used in transportation, chemical industry, military industry and other industries. Due to the closed interior of pipelines and the limited space of small pipelines, it is not convenient for manual work, so it is necessary to rely on pipeline robots for detection. Pipeline robot is a kind of mechanical and electrical integration equipment that can automatically walk along the inside of the pipeline and perform a series of pipeline operations under manual remote control or automatic control, equipped with detection equipment such as sensors. The existing pipeline robot drive forms mainly include motor drive, piezoelectric ceramic, shape memory alloy, and electromagnetic drive, and the movement modes mainly include wheel, crawl...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, there are still some problems in the following aspects: one is that the existing pipeline robots are limited to the size of the mechanical structure, and cannot adapt to the diameter change of the narrow pipeline and perform turning movements; the other is that the existing pipeline robots, Because of its own weight, it is impossible to walk inside a long narrow vertical pipeline; the third is that the pipeline robot that can make up for the above two defects cannot realize long-distance wireless control due to its own structural size and other reasons.
