DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] The present invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The module is used in the technical field of torpedo pipe 1 maintenance. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the torpedo launch tube 1 often has four guide rails 11, namely, upper, lower, left and right, which play a guiding role in the tube 1. The upper guide rail 11 is a T-slot structure. A plurality of zinc blocks 12 are also fixed inside the tube 1. Figure 3-Figure 7As shown, it includes a walking unit 2, which can move autonomously along the inside of the pipeline 1; a fuselage 6, which is fixedly connected to the walking unit 2; a support unit 3, which can contact the upper guide rail 11 in the pipeline 1 and is fixedly connected to the fuselage 6, including a support shell 31, a support wheel 32, and an adjustment component 33. The support shell 31 is provided with an adjustment component 33, and the adjustment component 33 is rotatably provided with at least one support wheel 32 so that the support wheel 32 can extend out of the support shell 31 along the inside of the support shell 31. The walking unit 2 carries the fuselage 6 and other components and moves along the interior of the pipe 1. During this movement, other maintenance modules fixed to the fuselage 6 can perform maintenance work on the interior of the pipe 1. Since the guide rails 11 inside the pipe 1 have multiple orientations, and maintenance work on these multiple guide rails 11 may occur simultaneously during maintenance, if the walking unit 2 deviates from its path within the pipe 1, maintenance work will be seriously affected. Therefore, a support unit 3 is fixed above the fuselage 6. The extension of the support wheels 32 is adjusted by an adjustment assembly 33. When the carrying module moves within the torpedo pipe 1, the adjustment assembly 33 causes the support wheels 32 to extend and rest against the inner wall of the torpedo pipe 1, rolling along the torpedo pipe 1 to provide guidance and support. When the carrying module is not within the torpedo pipe 1, the adjustment assembly 33 causes the support wheels 32 to retract. The T-slots of the upper guide rails serve as travel guides for the support wheels.

[0037] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the adjustment assembly 33 includes a handle 331, a fixing frame 332, a connecting rod 333 and a bracket 334. The handle 331 is slidably installed on the side wall of the support shell 31, the fixing frame 332 is fixedly connected to the handle 331, and the connecting rod 333 is fixedly connected on both sides of the fixing frame 332. The connecting rod 333 is rotatably connected to multiple brackets 334 along the length direction, and the end of the bracket 334 is rotatably connected to the support wheel 32. A through hole is opened on the support shell 31 for the support wheel 32 to pass through, and a tension spring is fixed between the two connecting rods 333. The center of the bracket 334 is rotatably connected to the support housing. The handle 331 extends into the support housing 31 and can move along the support housing 31. Since the handle 331 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 332, when the handle 331 is pulled, the handle 331, the fixing frame 332, and the connecting rod 333 move in the same direction. Driven by the connecting rod 333, the bracket 334 transitions from an inclined state to a vertical state. The support wheel 32 is rotatably connected to the top of the support frame, and the support wheel 32 is pushed out of the support housing 31. Conversely, when the handle 331 is pushed into the support housing 31, the fixing frame 332 and the connecting rod 333 simultaneously retract, and the bracket 334 drives the support wheel 32 to retract from the outside of the support housing 31 into the interior.

[0038] like Figure 7As shown, the walking unit 2 includes a driving device 21, a transmission part 22, a driving wheel 23, a driven wheel 24, a crawler belt 25, and a frame 26. The driving device 21 is fixed in the frame 26. The driving device 21 is fixed with a transmission part 22. The transmission part 22 is in driving connection with the driving wheel 23. The driving wheel 23 and the driven wheel 24 are both rotatably connected to the frame 26. The crawler belt 25 is installed between the driving wheel 23 and the driven wheel 24. The driving device 21 can be a motor. After the driving device 21 is started, the driving device 21 and the transmission part 22 drive the driving wheel 23 to rotate. Since the driving wheel 23 and the driven wheel 24 are connected by the crawler belt 25, the driven wheel 24 also rotates accordingly. The crawler belt 25 contacts the inner wall of the pipeline 1, and the walking unit 2 moves along the inside of the pipeline 1.

[0039] The transmission unit 22 includes a driving bevel gear 221, a driven bevel gear 222, a first pulley 223, and a second pulley 224. The driving bevel gear 221 is fixed to the output end of the drive device 21. The driving bevel gear 221 meshes with the driven bevel gear 222. The driven bevel gear 222 is coaxially provided with a first pulley 223. The first pulley 223 is in transmission connection with the second pulley 224, which is coaxially provided with the drive wheel 23. After the drive device 21 is activated, the driving bevel gear 221 rotates, and the driven bevel gear 222, which is meshed with the driving bevel gear 221, also rotates. The first pulley 223, which is coaxially provided with the driven bevel gear 222, rotates, and the second pulley 224, which is coaxially provided with the drive wheel 23, also rotates. This transmission method ensures that the rotation of the drive device 21 and the drive wheel 23 requires other components, allowing the travel unit 2 to start smoothly. At the same time, a plurality of transmission parts 22 are provided between the driving device 21 and the driving wheel 23, and the speed of the driving wheel 23 can be adjusted in multiple stages.

[0040] Example 2:

[0041] like Figure 8As shown, the lubricating device is fixed to the aforementioned mounting module and further includes an oiling unit 4 for lubricating the surface of the guide rail 11 inside the pipe 1. The oiling unit 4 includes an outer shell 41, a drive assembly 42, a glue head assembly 43, and a reset assembly 44. The drive assembly 42 is disposed within the outer shell 41. One end of the drive assembly 42 is fixedly connected to the outer shell 41, and the other end of the drive assembly 42 is rotatably connected to the glue head assembly 43. A reset assembly 44 is fixed between the glue head assembly 43 and the outer shell 41. The oiling units 4 for lubricating the guide rails 11 on both sides of the pipe 1 are fixed to both sides of the fuselage 6. The oiling unit 4 for lubricating the top guide rail 11 in the pipe 1 is fixed to the support shell 31. Multiple groups of oiling units 4 are provided to simultaneously lubricate the guide rails 11 at different positions. The driving component 42 enables the rubber head component 43 to adjust the distance between itself and the guide rail 11, and retracts the rubber head component 43 into the outer shell 41. If the driving component 42 does not work, the reset component 44 is used to push the rubber head component 43 out of the outer shell 41 and contact it with the guide rail to be oiled, thereby realizing the oiling operation.

[0042] The drive assembly 42 includes a telescopic member 421, a push wheel 422, a push block 423, a fixed rod 424, and a connecting seat 425. The rubber head assembly 43 is fixed to the connecting seat 425, and the connecting seat 425 is rotatably provided with a fixed rod 424. The fixed rod 424 is rotatably provided with a push block 423. The push block 423 is rotatably provided with the outer shell 41. The telescopic member 421 is fixed within the shell. The push wheel 422 is fixed to the end of the telescopic member 421, and the push wheel 422 can contact the push block 423. The rubber head assembly 43 includes a rubber head frame 431 and a rubber head seat 432. The rubber head frame 431 has a rubber head seat 432 fixed to the end. The end of the rubber head seat 432 can extend outside the outer shell 41 and is connected to the oil supply unit 5. The reset assembly 44 includes at least two reset springs, the ends of which are respectively fixed to the rubber head frame 431 and the inner wall of the outer shell 41. In this embodiment, four return springs are provided and distributed along the circumference of the rubber head frame 431 .

[0043] The telescopic member 421 can be an actuator capable of linear reciprocating motion, such as an electric push rod or a pneumatic cylinder. When the push wheel 422 fixed at the end of the telescopic member 421 contacts the push block 423, the push block 423 rotates about the axis, lifting the end of the push block 423 upward. This drives the fixed rod 424 to rotate, which in turn drives the rubber head assembly 43 toward the reset assembly 44, causing the rubber head seat 432 to retract into the interior of the outer shell 41. When the telescopic member 421 retracts, the rubber head seat 432 extends out of the outer shell 41 under the push of the reset assembly 44. The reset assembly 44 maintains a certain pressure between the rubber head seat 432 and the guide rail 11, ensuring more even oiling when the rubber head seat 432 contacts the guide rail 11. Oiling the surface of the guide rail 11 can prevent rust on the guide rail 11.

[0044] A slide rail is fixed within the outer shell 41, and a slider is fixed to the rail. The slider can slide along the rail. A guide support plate 434 is fixed within the outer shell 41. Guide wheels 433 are fixed to the two side walls of the glue head frame 431. The guide wheels 433 can roll along the shell and the guide support plate 434. The slide rail, slider, and guide wheels 433 all serve to guide the glue head assembly 43 during movement, ensuring better centering of the glue head assembly 43 during movement.

[0045] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the apparatus further includes an oil supply unit 5 for providing maintenance oil to the oiling unit 4. The oil supply unit 5 includes an oil supply motor 51, a propulsion assembly 52, an oil cylinder 53, and an oil outlet seat 54. The propulsion assembly 52 is fixed to the output end of the oil supply motor 51. One end of the propulsion assembly 52 extends into the oil outlet seat 54. The oil outlet seat 54 has an oil inlet channel 55. The oil outlet seat 54 has at least two oil inlets 56 and one oil outlet 57. The oil inlets 56 and the oil outlet 57 are both connected to the oil inlet channel 55. The oil cylinder 53 is connected to the oil inlet 56, and the oil outlet 57 is connected to the rubber head. At least two groups of oil supply units 5 are distributed along the fuselage 6, and the oil supply units 5 provide maintenance oil to the oiling units 4 at different positions. Specifically, the oil supply motor 51 is activated, driving the propulsion assembly 52 to move within the oil inlet channel 55. A pull rod is slidably provided within the oil barrel 53, with a piston fixed at the end of the pull rod. The piston can move along the oil barrel 53, and the grease in the oil barrel 53 can enter the oil inlet channel 55 through the oil inlet 56. Driven by the propulsion assembly 52, it enters the oil outlet 57. The oil outlet 57 is interconnected with the rubber head seat 432, and the grease is then transported from the oil supply unit 5 to the oiling unit 4. By coordinating the movement speed and the oiling speed, the optimal oiling thickness can be adjusted.

[0046] The propulsion assembly 52 includes a cam 521, a push rod 522, a connecting column 523, and a movable seat 524. The cam 521 is fixed to the output end of the oil supply motor 51. The connecting column 523 is fixed to the end of the cam 521. The connecting column 523 extends into the movable seat 524. The push rod 522 is fixed to the movable seat 524. The push rod 522 extends into the oil inlet channel 55. After the oil supply motor 51 is started, it drives the cam 521 to rotate. The connecting column 523 is fixed to the end of the cam 521. Because the cam 521 and the connecting column 523 are eccentrically arranged, when the cam 521 rotates, the connecting column 523 rotates in the movable seat 524, and at the same time drives the push rod 522 fixed to the movable seat 524 to undergo vertical displacement. The push rod 522 continuously squeezes the butter in the oil inlet channel 55 to the oil outlet 57, and the butter is discharged from the oil outlet 57.

[0047] For example, if the oil supply motor 51 has a torque of 6 Nm, it can cause the push rod 522 to perform a maximum of 80 piston movements per minute, with each piston movement displacing 2 ml of oil. The oil cylinder 53 can carry a maximum of 1000 ml of oil. Each guide rail 11 requires a minimum oil thickness of 0.2 mm. Therefore, the speed of the oil supply motor 51 can be adjusted to match the travel speed of the equipment according to actual site requirements to achieve optimal lubrication results.

[0048] Two oil inlets 56, one at the farthest end of the push rod 522's travel and the other at the closest end, are also equipped with a one-way valve. The design of two oil inlets 56 increases the amount of oil entering the push rod 522 during its retraction process and improves the speed of oil inflow. Furthermore, the addition of an oil inlet 56 at the innermost end of the oil inlet channel 55 prevents air compression or vacuum from occurring within the channel during operation, reducing the risk of external air inflow, minimizing damage to various components, and extending the service life of the entire device.

[0049] Due to the compressibility of air, when a large amount of external air enters the oil inlet channel 55, oil will no longer enter the channel. Furthermore, compressed air cannot easily open the one-way valve, so air will remain in the oil inlet channel 55, causing the oil supply unit 5 to cease operation. However, in this solution, the one-way valve at the oil inlet port 56 formed at the end of the push rod 522 ensures that only butter can enter. A steady stream of butter can enter as the push rod 522 is pulled back. Even if a small amount of air is introduced during oil filling, the oil inlet channel 55 will contain more oil than air. At this point, the small amount of air will be discharged along with the large amount of butter, thus preventing it from interfering with the normal operation of the structure. This structure can automatically exhaust air regardless of air interference, greatly reducing the difficulty of filling for the operator.

[0050] The rubber head holder 432 is a highly contoured oil-coated end made of silicone rubber, which is highly oil-resistant and corrosion-resistant. The oil is discharged from the middle outlet of the end, and the stepped design at the end allows the oil to be evenly spread in the prescribed shape.

[0051] Example 3:

[0052] The pipeline maintenance robot includes the aforementioned mounting module and oiling device, as well as a rotary motor 7, a flange 8, and a functional module 9. The rotary motor 7 is fixed to the body 6, and the flange 8 is fixed to the output end of the rotary motor 7. The flange 8 is detachably connected to the functional module 9 along the circumference. The rotary motor 7 drives the flange 8 and functional module 9 to rotate, adjusting the position of the functional module 9 to its working position.

[0053] The functional module 9 includes at least one of a pipeline paint repair module, a pipeline water wiping module, a pipeline impurity removal module, a guide rail water wiping module, a pipe wall grinding module and a zinc block grinding module. The pipeline paint repair module is used to repair the paint inside the pipeline 1, the pipeline water wiping module is used to wipe the water inside the pipeline 1, the pipeline impurity removal module is used to clean the impurities in the pipeline 1, the guide rail water wiping module is used to wipe the guide rail 11 fixed in the pipeline 1, the pipe wall grinding module is used to grind impurities on the inner wall of the pipeline 1, and the zinc block grinding module is used to grind the zinc block 12 in the pipeline 1.

[0054] Working process:

[0055] When performing maintenance and repairs on a torpedo tube 1, the robot is placed entirely inside the tube 1. The support wheels 32 of the support unit 3 extend from the support housing 31 and rest against the inner wall of the tube 1. As the travel unit 2 moves along the tube 1, the support wheels 32 maintain contact and roll with the inner wall.
