Crawler-type pipeline detection robot

Abstract

The invention discloses a crawler-type pipeline detection robot. Corresponding walking mechanisms are installed on the two sides of the main shell respectively, a displacement mechanism is installed in the main shell, the walking mechanisms are connected with the displacement mechanism, a lifting mechanism and a detection mechanism are installed on the main shell, and the detection mechanism is installed in the middle of the lifting mechanism; the robot is arranged in a pipeline, and the displacement mechanism is started to drive the walking mechanisms on the two sides of the main shell to synchronously and circumferentially rotate around the center line of the robot, so that the bottoms of the walking mechanisms on the two sides of the main shell are attached to the inner walls of different pipelines; and the lifting mechanism is started, so that the upper part of the lifting mechanism is also attached to the inner wall of the pipeline, and the detection mechanism is used for detecting the pipeline. According to the invention, the robot adapts to pipelines with different widths, the ability of the robot to move and cope with a severe and sudden environment is enhanced, and the ability and efficiency of detection of problematic pipelines are improved; the robot containing state design is compact, and space is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an inspection robot in the field of pipeline inspection, in particular to a crawler-based pipeline inspection robot. Background technique [0002] Various pipelines, which are widely used in the fields of industry, agriculture, military industry, and urban infrastructure construction, are responsible for transporting materials needed for human life, production construction, and industrial development, and play an extremely important role in the national construction system. In the process of using pipelines, due to the chemical properties of the transported materials and the influence of external factors, pipeline defects will inevitably occur. In order to protect property and personnel safety, timely detection and treatment of pipeline damage has become an important task. . [0003] A pipeline robot is a small equipment that can carry a number of inspection or maintenance instruments for a series of pipeline operations under ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Pipeline inspection robots in active service are generally divided into: wheeled pipeline robots, track-type pipeline robots, crawler-type pipeline robots, etc. Wheeled structure pipeline robots are widely used in pipeline operations because of their relatively simple mechanical structure and easy maintenance. The environment is complex, and there are often interference factors. Ordinary wheeled structures cannot adapt well to the pipeline environment; track-type pipeline robots need to lay slide rails in the pipeline, which greatly increases construction costs, and track-type robots can only advance along the track path , the detection blind zone is larger
