[0038] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a fixing frame 7, which is located on two opposite ends of the battery box 2 and the raw material box 3 and is positioned between the two drive boxes 9. The connecting shaft 93 passes through the connecting hole 69 and is mounted in the opening of the fixing frame 7, and is connected to the opening of the fixing frame 7 through the bearing 611. The walking mechanism 6 is mounted on the fixing frame 7 through the connecting shaft 93 and the bearing 611.

[0039] Furthermore, a first camera 11 is mounted at the center of the mounting bracket 7.

[0040] Furthermore, a camera assembly 10 is provided at the connection between the battery box 2 and the raw material box 3 (in the middle of the robot housing), such as... Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the shooting assembly 10 includes a fixing plate 1002 that is fixed to the surface of the maintenance robot housing by bolts. A fourth camera 1001 arranged along its length and lighting strips 1003 located on both sides of the fourth camera 1001 are fixed to the surface of the fixing plate 1002.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first robotic arm 4 includes a first robotic arm lever 41, a first robotic arm lever drive motor 42, a grinding motor 43, a grinding disc 44, and a second camera 45. Several first robotic arm levers 41 are connected to each other through the first robotic arm lever drive motor 42. The grinding motor 43 and the second camera 45 are installed at the ends of the first robotic arm levers 41. The grinding disc 44 is installed on the grinding motor 43, and the second camera 45 is used for auxiliary alignment of the position to be ground.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the second robotic arm 5 includes a second robotic arm lever 51, a second robotic arm lever drive motor 52, a glue injection head 53, and a third camera 54; several second robotic arm levers 51 are connected to each other through the second robotic arm lever drive motor 52, and the end of the second robotic arm lever 51 is equipped with a glue injection head 53 and a third camera 54. The glue injection head 53 is connected to the suction centrifugal pump 35 in the raw material box 3 through a material delivery pipe, and the third camera 45 is used for auxiliary alignment of the position to be glued.

[0043] Furthermore, the raw material box includes an outer box 31, an inner box 32, an electromagnetic coil 33, a pump box 34, a suction centrifugal pump 35, a gearbox 36, a stirring motor 37, a stirring rod 38, and a suction pipe 39; the inner box 32 is fitted inside the outer box 31, and the pump box 34 is provided on the top of the inner box 32. The suction centrifugal pump 35 is installed in the pump box 34 to draw the adhesive material in the inner box to the dispensing head 53 through the suction pipe 39; the gearbox 36 is installed inside the pump box 34 and on one side of the suction centrifugal pump 35. The stirring motor 37 is connected to the top of the gearbox 36, and the stirring rod 38 is connected to the bottom of the gearbox 36 to stir the adhesive material in the inner box to prevent solidification; the electromagnetic coil 33 is located in the gap between the inner box 32 and the outer box 31 to heat the adhesive material in the inner box.

[0044] The working process of the above-mentioned maintenance device is as follows: After cleaning the impurities on the inner wall of the pipe, the device is used to control the rotation motors 92 in the four drive boxes 9 of the maintenance robot 1 through the control button 1203 on the remote control device 12 according to the diameter of the drainage pipe. This drives the gears in the reduction gearbox 91 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting shaft 93 to rotate, which in turn drives the arm connector 61 to rotate. By rotating the arm connector 61, the angle of the anti-slip tire 68 is adjusted. Then, the electric telescopic rod 63 is powered on to push the slide rod 64 to move. By moving the slide rod 64, the anti-slip tire 68 is brought into contact with the inner wall of the drainage pipe. The robot touches the ground, then powers on the walking motor 66, which in turn rotates the hub 67. The hub 67 then rotates the anti-slip tires 68, moving the entire inspection robot 1 forward. Simultaneously, several fourth cameras 1001 on the pipe inner wall imaging device 10 capture images of the drainage pipe's inner wall. When the cameras detect cracks in the pipe's inner wall, the video is transmitted back to the monitor 1201. Then, the operator uses the control buttons 1203 on the remote control device 12 to control the first robotic arm 4's arm drive motor 42, thus moving the first robotic arm 4 forward. The robotic arm 41 moves, using the second camera 45 to align with the crack location. Then, the grinding motor 43 at one end of the first robotic arm 41 operates, driving the grinding disc 44 to rotate and grind the crack on the inner wall of the pipe. Next, the second robotic arm 51 is driven by the second robotic arm drive motor 52, aligning the glue injection head 53 at one end of the second robotic arm 51 with the crack. With the assistance of the third camera 54, the exact location is determined. Then, the suction centrifugal pump 35 draws the adhesive from the inner tank 32 to the glue injection head 53, spraying the adhesive onto the crack. After the adhesive solidifies... The first robotic arm 4 works to grind away excess adhesive material with a grinding disc 44, thus completing the repair. The adhesive material in the inner box 32 is heated by an electromagnetic coil 33, which heats up quickly and prevents the adhesive from solidifying. At the same time, the first motor 37 drives the gears in the gearbox 36 to rotate, which in turn drives the stirring rod 38 to stir the adhesive material and prevent it from solidifying. This equipment can repair any part of the inner wall of the drainage pipe. The fourth camera 1001 and the lighting panel 1003 at the front and rear of the inspection robot 1 take pictures of the front and rear of the pipe, so that the staff can see the internal condition of the pipe clearly.

[0045] In summary, this invention provides a maintenance device for drainage pipes. The device includes a maintenance robot and a remote control unit. The maintenance robot comprises a walking mechanism, a camera assembly, a first robotic arm with a grinding disc, and a second robotic arm with a glue injection head. Multiple cameras are mounted on the robot's casing to observe the pipe's internal environment in real time. When a pipe crack is encountered, adhesive from the material tank is pumped to the glue injection head, which sprays adhesive onto the crack for repair. The grinding disc is used to grind the crack before spraying and to grind the solidified adhesive after spraying. The walking mechanism of this device is telescopic and rotatable, adapting to pipes of different diameters. It can quickly detect and locate cracks or damage on the pipe's inner wall and repair them without manual excavation, saving costs, increasing efficiency, and providing excellent repair results and quality. This device can perform real-time detection at any location on the pipe, avoiding missed detections, and can also repair any location on the pipe's inner wall. It is very simple to operate, highly flexible, has strong overall stability, and is easy to use.
