[0038] The driving device is composed of a gear set outer shell 11, a gear set outer shell base 35 and a gear set, wherein the gear set includes a transmission pinion 37 and a transmission gear 41, the transmission pinion 37 and the transmission gear 41 are meshingly connected and placed on the gear set outer shell base 35, and a drum motor 38 is arranged on the transmission pinion 37, and the transmission pinion 37 and the transmission gear 41 are driven to rotate by the drum motor 38, and a bearing 40 is arranged above the transmission gear 41, and a rotating main shaft 39 is placed in the middle of the bearing 40.

[0039] The rotating variable diameter roller mechanism utilizes the roller variable diameter screw to rotate and drive the screw connected to the base to make reciprocating linear motion. By connecting the six roller guide connecting rods, the sliding rod connected to the base moves simultaneously, driving the variable diameter roller to open and contract, so as to adjust the movement diameter range of the variable diameter roller and better adapt to the change of pipe diameter. The upper cover plate of the roller and the rotating main shaft rotate under the drive of the roller motor, so that the variable diameter roller rotates as a whole, wherein the movement direction of the variable diameter roller is at a certain angle with the upper cover plate of the roller to ensure that sufficient rotational friction is provided. The rotating variable diameter roller mechanism drives the variable diameter roller to rotate as a whole under the drive of the roller motor through gear meshing transmission.

[0040] The umbrella-shaped guide mechanism includes a guide motor 7 providing driving force, a guide rotating plate 9 with rollers, a steering screw 21, a guide screw slider 8, a spur rack 20, a guide gear 19 and an umbrella-shaped guide rotating base 18, wherein the guide rotating plate 9 with rollers is mounted on the top of the gear group outer shell 11, and a guide motor 7 providing driving force is arranged on one side of the top position of the guide rotating plate 9 with rollers, and a storage table 43 is fixed on the other side, a steering screw 21 connected to the guide motor 7 is mounted on the storage table 43, and a guide screw slider 8 engaged with the screw for linear motion is sleeved on the steering screw 21, a spur rack 20 is fixed on the slider 8, and a guide gear 19 and an umbrella-shaped guide rotating base 18 engaged and rotated therewith are provided on the spur rack 20, the umbrella-shaped guide rotating base 18 is connected to the top of the ball hinge support rod 22, the ball hinge support rod 22 is installed on the hinge base 23, and has circumferential rotation freedom, and an umbrella-shaped diameter reducing mechanism is connected above the umbrella-shaped guide rotating base 18.

[0041] The ball hinge support rod is installed on the hinge base in the form of a hinge. Driven by the hinge, the umbrella-shaped guide mechanism can ensure the flexible rotation of the umbrella-shaped diameter-changing mechanism at any turning point of the pipeline.

[0042] The umbrella-shaped guide mechanism drives the spur rack on the guide screw slider to move forward and backward through the rotation of the steering screw, thereby driving the guide gear to mesh and rotate, so that the umbrella-shaped guide rotating base rotates. The ball hinge support rod is fixed to the hinge base in the form of a hinge. Under the rotation of the ball hinge support rod, the guide rotating plate and the guide motor are driven to rotate, thereby realizing the precise guiding function of the umbrella-shaped mechanism. The guide motor in the umbrella-shaped guide mechanism drives the spur rack on the guide screw slider to move back and forth, so that the guide gear meshed with it rotates, and further drives the umbrella-shaped diameter reducing mechanism to rotate.

[0043] The umbrella-shaped variable diameter mechanism comprises an umbrella-shaped spring connecting base 16, a connecting spring 5, an umbrella-shaped upper connecting rod 3, an umbrella-shaped roller connecting rod 4, an umbrella-shaped stretching connecting rod 2, a screw stretching slider 6, a guide variable diameter screw rod 17 and an umbrella-shaped mechanism variable diameter motor 31 providing a driving force, wherein one end of the guide variable diameter screw rod 17 is fixed on the umbrella-shaped guide rotating base 18, and the other end is connected to the umbrella-shaped mechanism variable diameter motor 31 through a coupling 32, and an umbrella-shaped coupling 32 is provided outside the coupling 32 and the umbrella-shaped mechanism variable diameter motor 31. A spring connecting base 16 is provided, and multiple umbrella-shaped upper connecting rods 3 connected by connecting springs 5 ​​are fixed around the umbrella-shaped spring connecting base 16. An umbrella-shaped roller connecting rod 4 is provided on each upper connecting rod 3, and a stretching connecting rod 2 is also provided on the umbrella-shaped roller connecting rod 4. The stretching connecting rod 2 is connected to a screw stretching slider 6 sleeved on a guide variable diameter screw rod 17. The guide variable diameter screw rod 17 rotates under the drive of the umbrella-shaped mechanism variable diameter motor 31, so that the screw stretching slider 6 moves up and down to drive the stretching connecting rod 2 to bend.

[0044] The lead screw stretching slider makes reciprocating linear motion under the drive of the umbrella-shaped mechanism variable diameter motor, pulling the umbrella-shaped structure stretching connecting rod connected to it, thereby driving the umbrella-shaped structure roller connecting rod to extend and retract at the same time, so as to realize the fitting crawling of different pipe diameters.

[0045] The umbrella-shaped structure spring connection base and the umbrella-shaped structure upper connecting rod are connected by a spring, which not only plays a role of buffering and shock absorption, but also ensures greater flexibility when the umbrella-shaped mechanism is opened and retracted, providing more degrees of freedom.

[0046] The umbrella-shaped diameter-changing mechanism is arranged in rotational symmetry, and the umbrella-shaped structure roller connecting rod and the umbrella-shaped structure upper connecting rod are combined into an umbrella rib to support the umbrella-shaped diameter-changing mechanism to fit the pipe wall. In the process of the motor driving the lead screw stretching slider to move up and down, the umbrella handle is stretched and shrunk by the umbrella-shaped structure stretching connecting rod, thereby ensuring the stability of the umbrella-shaped diameter-changing mechanism in adapting to crawling in pipes with different diameters.

[0047] The variable diameter roller 10 forms a certain angle with the drum upper cover plate 34 to ensure sufficient rotational friction. The variable diameter roller is arranged obliquely, has the force of climbing upward, and is more suitable for crawling against the pipe wall.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the roller variable diameter sliding rod and the roller variable diameter screw are symmetrically distributed, and the variable diameter motor on the roller variable diameter screw drives the screw connecting base to make linear reciprocating movements, and the six roller guide connecting rods are used to achieve overall axial movement, so that the variable diameter roller connected to the screw connecting long rod expands outward or shrinks inward, realizing the overall diameter change of the variable diameter roller. It is precisely because of our special arrangement that the pipeline inspection trolley can stably rotate and crawl in the horizontal and even vertical directions. Specific embodiments

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, a pipeline inspection trolley based on a rotating variable diameter roller and an umbrella-shaped guide mechanism includes a rotating variable diameter roller mechanism, an umbrella-shaped variable diameter mechanism, an umbrella-shaped guide mechanism and a detection device. The rotating variable diameter roller mechanism uses a roller motor 38 to drive the upper roller cover plate 34 to rotate, and then connects the sliding rod connection base 13 and the screw connection base 36 respectively through the six roller guide connecting rods 33 sliding between the upper roller cover plate 34 and the lower roller cover plate 15, and drives the variable diameter roller 10 fixed to the screw connection long rod 12 to rotate during the rotation process, wherein the movement direction of the variable diameter roller 10 is at a certain angle to the upper roller cover plate 34 to ensure that sufficient rotational friction is provided. The umbrella-shaped variable diameter mechanism uses the guide variable diameter screw 17 to drive the umbrella-shaped structure stretching connecting rod 2 to rotate, so that the umbrella-shaped structure upper connecting rod 3 can be extended and retracted, so as to adapt to the switching of different pipeline diameters and be able to cling to the pipe wall. The umbrella-shaped guide mechanism uses the steering screw 21 to drive the guide screw slider 8 to move forward and backward, thereby driving the spur rack 20 to mesh and rotate with the guide gear 19, thereby rotating the direction of the umbrella-shaped guide rotating base 18, thereby realizing the guiding function of the umbrella-shaped mechanism. The detection device includes a camera base 30 and a detection camera 1, the camera base 30 is fixed to the umbrella-shaped structure spring connection base 16, and different models of detection cameras 1 are installed on the camera base 30.

[0050] like Figure 2 and Fig.15 As shown, the screw stretching slider 6 is respectively connected to the umbrella-shaped structure stretching link 2 to realize the opening and closing of the umbrella-shaped structure roller link 4, so as to fit the pipe wall when entering pipes of different diameters to ensure the stability of the detection trolley. At the same time, four connecting springs 5 ​​are fixed on the umbrella-shaped structure spring connecting base 16 to ensure greater flexibility when the umbrella-shaped mechanism is opened and retracted, providing more degrees of freedom, so that it is easier to make the roller on the umbrella-shaped structure roller link 4 fit the pipe wall.

[0051] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the rotating variable diameter roller is distributed in rotational symmetry, and the roller variable diameter screw rod 28 and the screw rod connecting base 36 are driven by the variable diameter motor 26 for meshing transmission, wherein the two ends of the connecting roller variable diameter slide rod 29 are respectively fixed on the fixed support plate 14 and the upper cover slide rod base 25, and the two ends of the connecting roller variable diameter screw rod 28 are respectively fixed on the fixed support plate 14 and the upper cover screw rod base 42. When the screw rod connecting base 36 is moved to make it close to the roller upper cover plate 34 (or the roller lower cover plate 15), the variable diameter roller 10 connected to the screw rod connecting long rod 12 is driven away from (or close to) the transmission main shaft 39, and the six roller guide connecting rods 33 connect the four connecting roller variable diameter slide rods 29 and the two roller variable diameter screw rods 28, so as to achieve the expansion and contraction of the six variable diameter rollers 10 at the same time, so as to provide sufficient friction to realize the crawling of the vertical and horizontal pipelines.

[0052] like Fig.17 As shown, the camera base 30 fixed on the umbrella-shaped spring connection base 16 can be equipped with different models of detection cameras 1, and cameras of various specifications can be replaced and placed according to the actual needs of pipeline inspection.

[0053] like Figure 5-Figure 11 As shown, the spring pull rod base 27 is fixed to four upper cover slide rod bases 25 and two upper cover screw rod bases 42, and these six bases are evenly fixed on the roller upper cover 34 in the circumferential direction, wherein one end of the variable diameter spring pull rod 24 is fixed to the spring pull rod base 27, and the other end is connected to the screw rod connecting long rod 12, forming a crank slider structure. The two ends of the screw rod connecting base 13 are connected to the variable diameter roller 10 through the screw rod connecting long rod 12 to form a parallelogram, so that the connecting rod of the variable diameter roller 10 and the roller variable diameter slide rod 29 (or roller variable diameter screw rod 28) are always kept parallel.

[0054] like Fig.12 and Fig.16 As shown, the ball hinge support rod 22 is fixed on the hinge base 23 in the form of a hinge. The rotation of the ball hinge support rod 22 drives the guide rotating plate 9 to rotate, and then the movement of the guide screw slider 8 drives the meshing transmission of the spur rack 20 and the guide gear 19, so that the umbrella-shaped guide rotating base 18 connected to the guide gear 19 rotates, and the guide reducing screw 17 connected to the umbrella-shaped guide rotating base 18 turns, thereby realizing the directional rotation of the umbrella-shaped mechanism and facilitating precise turning inside different pipelines.

[0055] like Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the four umbrella-shaped upper connecting rods 3 are respectively connected to the umbrella-shaped roller connecting rods 4 by rollers, and the other end of the umbrella-shaped upper connecting rod 3 is connected to the connecting spring 5, which can ensure that the umbrella-shaped connecting rod has a certain flexibility when contracting and expanding.
