Self-adaptive detection robot for cargo ship pipeline

Abstract

The invention discloses a self-adaptive detection robot for a cargo ship pipeline, and belongs to the field of cargo ship pipeline system detection. The self-adaptive detection robot comprises a robot main body, the robot main body is divided into two parts, and each part comprises a reducing mechanism, a curve adaptation mechanism, wall-attached wheels, a first power device and a second power device; the robot main body is provided with a camera pan-tilt, a communication cable and a control module; and the robot main body is divided into two sections which are symmetrical to each other and have the same structure, the middle of the robot main body is connected through the curve adaption mechanisms, the communication cable is fixed to the tail of the robot main body, and the camera pan-tilt is installed at the front end of the robot main body. According to the self-adaptive detection robot, through the arrangement of the reducing mechanisms, the curve adaption mechanism, driving wheels, the first power devices, the second power mechanisms, the camera pan-tilt, the communication cable and the control module, the robot can move in vertical, horizontal, inclined and bent pipelines, and clear images are provided through a camera carried on the robot.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of cargo ship pipeline system detection, in particular to a cargo ship pipeline self-adaptive detection robot. Background technique [0002] At present, my country's shipbuilding industry is developing rapidly, and the pipeline system plays an irreplaceable role in the delivery of fuel oil and drainage and exhaust of ships, and has become an indispensable part of the ship system. Ocean-going cargo ships sail all year round, and the pipelines transport the fuel oil required by the ship, the exhaust gas in the boiler, and even special media such as chemicals. A series of problems such as corrosion, leakage, and aging occur. [0003] In the shipbuilding industry, the piping system is intricate, with many bends, verticals, inclinations, diameter changes, etc. It is difficult for traditional inspection methods to efficiently inspect the interior of the pipeline without dead ends. In addition, most pipeline robo...

[0003] In the shipbuilding industry, the pipeline system is intricate, with many bends, verticals, inclinations, diameter changes, etc. It is difficult for traditional inspection methods to efficiently inspect the interior of the pipeline without dead ends

In addition, most pipeline robots used in other industries are only suitable for the detection of horizontal pipelines, so the present invention proposes an adaptive detection robot for freighter pipelines
