Abstract

The present invention relates to robot technology. The miniature creeping vehicle includes main mechanism, control system and power supply. The main mechanism includes front vehicle body, shape memory alloy driver, elastic rod, back vehicle body, wheel self-locking mechanism and front and back wheels. The shape memory alloy driver is connected to the front vehicle body and the back vehicle body via guide pulley and constitutes parallel mechanism with the elastic rod. The present invention has great pace length, can move inside an irregular curved pipe and provides cheap and convenient solution for the inspection and maintenance of miniature pipeline in nuclear power station, space shuttle, etc.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a peristaltic micro-vehicle for pipeline inspection and maintenance, in particular to a peristaltic mini-vehicle driven by a shape memory alloy, which belongs to the field of robotics technology. Background technique [0002] In complex systems such as nuclear power plants and space shuttles, there are a large number of micro-miniature tubes with an inner diameter of 1 inch and 2 inches. In order to effectively detect and maintain these pipes, it is urgent to develop micro-miniature robots suitable for micro-sized pipes. Compared with other new-type actuators, the shape memory alloy actuator has a higher power-to-weight ratio than any other commonly used actuators after the weight is less than 100 grams, so it is widely used as a micro-miniature robot actuator. According to the search of the prior art, it is found that the patent "Parallel Offset Shape Memory Alloy Creeping Mechanism" applied by Shanghai Jiaotong University, th...
