The first driving motor 244 is installed inside the first box body 22, and one end of the output shaft passes through the first box body 21 and the second sleeve 242, and is connected to the first sleeve 241 through a nut. At least a portion of the output shaft is provided with an external thread that matches the nut. The second sleeve 242 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first box 21, and the bottom end of the first sleeve 241 is rotatably connected to the magnetic suction cup 243; the outer wall of the end of the output shaft of the first drive motor 244 away from the first sleeve 241 is sleeved with a first locking mechanism 25 for locking / unlocking the output shaft, and the first locking mechanism 25 includes a second bearing sleeved on the outer wall of the output shaft without external threads, and the second bearing is fixedly connected to the second sleeve 242, and a plurality of locking protrusions are arranged below the roller in the second bearing. In the locked state, the output shaft is fixed to the second sleeve 242, which drives the camera device 1 and the flaw detection device 5 to rotate around the magnetic suction cup 243. The height of the first lifting assembly 24 is greater than the height of the walking mechanism 4 when it is retracted, and greater than the height of the walking mechanism 4 when it is extended.

[0053] The first drive motor 244 and the plurality of locking protrusions are electrically connected to the third control submodule, and the third control submodule is used to control the first drive motor 244 according to the control instruction of the video processing submodule 13, thereby driving the first sleeve 241 to extend and retract, and to control the plurality of locking protrusions to lock / unlock the output shaft of the first drive motor 244. The third control submodule is installed in the first box body 21.

[0054] The working principle of Example 1 is: when the video processing submodule 13 detects that the device needs to turn or move to another plane during operation, the video processing submodule 13 sends instructions to the first control submodule 14, the second control submodule, the third control submodule and the fourth control submodule, and then the first control submodule 14, the second control submodule, the third control submodule and the fourth control submodule control the device to turn or move to another plane.

[0055] The above process can be divided into four stages: lifting stage, turning stage, falling stage, and moving stage.

[0056] During the lifting stage, the fourth control submodule controls the positioning bolt 332 in the second locking mechanism 33 to be inserted into the slide groove of the positioning rod 331, thereby locking the third connecting plate 31 and the fourth connecting plate 32, and limiting the relative rotation of the third connecting plate 31 and the fourth connecting plate 32; then the third control submodule and the fourth control submodule respectively control the first lifting mechanism 24 and multiple second lifting mechanisms 26 to extend simultaneously, so that the magnetic suction cup 243 is adsorbed on the surface of the derrick, and simultaneously with the universal wheel 27, the camera device 1 and the flaw detection device 5 are lifted off the surface of the derrick.

[0057] During the steering stage, the third control submodule controls the multiple locking protrusions of the first locking mechanism 25 to lock the output shaft of the first drive motor 244, so that the first box body 21 and the first lifting mechanism 24 are fixedly connected as a whole, thereby driving the camera device 1, the flaw detection device 5 and the first lifting mechanism 24 to rotate around the magnetic suction cup 243 as the axis, so as to control the steering angle of the derrick crawling robot.

[0058] During the falling back stage, after the direction is adjusted, the first lifting mechanism 24 and the second lifting mechanism 26 are controlled to retract simultaneously. When the magnetic adsorption track 48 contacts the derrick, the magnetic suction cup 243 leaves the derrick and retracts to the initial position. The fourth control submodule controls the positioning bolt 332 to disengage from the slide slot of the positioning rod 331. Due to the magnetic factor, the magnetic adsorption track 48 will be re-adsorbed on the derrick.

[0059] There are two adsorption situations at this time. Adsorption situation 1 is that the two magnetic adsorption tracks 48 are adsorbed on the same plane when moving in the same plane, and adsorption situation 2 is that the two magnetic adsorption tracks 48 are adsorbed on different planes. Adsorption situation 1: The two magnetic adsorption tracks 48 are on the same plane and can move normally; Adsorption situation 2: The two magnetic adsorption tracks 48 are on different planes. The track moving toward one side will drive the derrick crawling robot to move. During the movement, the universal wheel will provide a transition effect. At the same time, the segmented track design will reduce the difficulty of the module moving to another plane.

[0060] Adjust the rotation angle of the magnetic suction cup according to the required situation, with vertical upward as the basic direction. If you need to move to other planes, rotate 90°, and if you need to move downward, rotate 180°.

[0061] Embodiment 2: A method for derrick detection, implemented based on a multi-plane crawling device for derrick detection in Embodiment 1, comprises the following steps:

[0062] Receive the video and / or image data transmitted by the camera device 1 in real time and determine whether a turn is required based on the video and / or image data. If so, control the walking mechanism 4 to stop moving and control the first lifting mechanism 24 and the second lifting mechanism 26 to extend and lift the walking mechanism 4 at the same time, calculate the required rotation angle based on the video and / or image data, and then control the first locking mechanism 25 to lock the output shaft of the first driving motor 244 in the first lifting mechanism 24 based on the rotation angle, thereby driving the camera device 1 and the flaw detection device 5 to rotate synchronously;
