Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pipeline outer wall surface detection, and in particular to a mother-and-child type detection robot suitable for a boiler close-packed tube bundle. Background Art

[0002] Thermal power generation is the main form of power generation in my country. The steam-water system of a thermal power plant is composed of boilers, steam turbines, condensers, deaerators, heaters and other equipment and pipelines. Coal powder is burned in the boiler, and the superheated steam generated by the boiler enters the steam turbine along the main steam pipeline. The high-speed flowing steam drives the turbine blades to rotate, driving the generator to rotate and generate electricity.

[0003] The boiler is equipped with water-cooled walls, superheaters, reheaters, economizers, and air preheaters. These heat exchangers are composed of a large number of pipes, which are densely arranged. In the horizontal tube bundle, the gap between adjacent pipes is 63mm; in the vertical tube bundle, the gap between adjacent pipes is 38mm. After the boiler has been running for a long time, the outer wall of each pipe is prone to surface defects such as pits, cracks, and corrosion under complex and harsh working conditions of high temperature, high pressure, and wear. These surface defects may lead to tube burst failures, so it is necessary to regularly detect and repair the surface defects of the tube bundle.

[0004] At present, power plants mainly use manual means to carry out pipeline maintenance. In most cases, only 2-3 layers of the tube bundle surface are partially observed by human eyes or inspected by handheld devices. There are a large number of blind spots in detection and instability and inaccuracy in manual detection. When inspecting deep tube bundles, the surface 2-3 layers of pipes can only be opened mechanically to reserve space for inspectors to pass through. Inspectors pass through the reserved space to reach the deep tube bundle for inspection and maintenance. It can be seen that this method is costly, has great safety hazards, low detection efficiency, and a high possibility of missed detection and false detection. The tube screen is prone to irreversible deformation, which affects the working structure inside the boiler. The tube screen is a screen-type heating surface arranged in the furnace.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, there are some pipeline inspection robots that realize automatic inspection in the prior art. Pipeline inspection robots can be divided into wheeled, crawler and wheelless types according to the movement mode, and can be divided into extrusion type, magnetic adsorption type, negative pressure adsorption type and bionic adsorption type according to the bonding mode. In the field of single-tube inspection, extrusion wheeled robots are the mainstream solution under light load conditions, while extrusion creeping robots are more commonly used under heavy load conditions; in the field of multi-tube inspection, such as boiler water-cooled wall inspection, magnetic crawler robot solutions are more common, and you can refer to the invention patent application with application publication number CN115923957A, entitled Crawling Robot for Water-Cooled Wall Inspection. Wheeled and crawler robots can refer to the invention patent application with application publication number CN115979191A, entitled "A Wheel-Crawler Composite Boiler Tube Wall Thickness Inspection Robot". Each configuration of pipeline inspection robots has its own advantages and disadvantages. However, in view of the working conditions of small gaps and large numbers of densely packed tube bundles in boilers, the existing pipeline inspection robots still have low inspection efficiency, low flexibility and weak load capacity. Summary of the invention

The longitudinal rectangular frame 201 can pass through the channel 101-3 downward.

[0063] The following describes the working process of the above-mentioned mother-child inspection robot suitable for boiler close-packed tube bundles:

[0064] like Fig.28 and 29As shown, the mother-child inspection robot is placed on the surface of the top row of pipes in the pipe bundle, and the left crawler 102 and the right crawler 107 of the upper robot 100 are in contact with the surface of the pipe (the front active roller, two front passive rollers, rear active roller, and two rear passive rollers of the upper robot are not in contact with the surface of the pipe), the left crawler 102 and the right crawler 107 span across multiple pipes, and the movement of the two crawlers moves the entire robot to the expected position. At this time, the four sets of adaptive walking devices are in the storage state.

[0065] Next, the slides of the front slide cylinder 1 117 and the front slide cylinder 2 118 of the upward robot extend to make the front active roller 113, the front passive roller 1 114 and the front passive roller 2 115 contact the surface of the pipe, and at the same time, the slides of the two rear slide cylinders extend to make the rear active roller 120, the rear passive roller 1 121 and the rear passive roller 2 122 contact the pipe, and the left track 102 and the right track 107 are lifted up without contacting the pipe. Fig.30 shown.

[0066] Next, the left stepper motor 128 and the right stepper motor 129 of the upper robot work to drive the left winding wheel 130 and the right winding wheel 131 to rotate, and the two winding wheels release the wire, and the entire lower robot 200 is released downward in the vertical direction, and the lower robot 200 enters the gap between the lower pipes of the pipe bundle, such as Fig.30 shown.

[0067] Next, let the four groups of adaptive walking devices stretch out, the first rotating drive motor 215 in the first group of adaptive walking devices works to make the first lower roller connecting base 210 and the first upper roller connecting base 211 rotate outward 90°, the second rotating drive motor in the second group of adaptive walking devices works to make the second lower roller connecting base 225 and the second upper roller connecting base 226 rotate outward 90°, the third rotating drive motor in the third group of adaptive walking devices works to make the third lower roller connecting base and the third upper roller connecting base rotate outward 90°, the fourth rotating drive motor in the fourth group of adaptive walking devices works to make the fourth lower roller connecting base and the fourth upper roller connecting base rotate outward 90°, and then the slides of the first slide cylinder 207, the second slide cylinder 208, the third slide cylinder 232 and the fourth slide cylinder 241 extend outward to make the first vertical base 209, the second vertical base 224, the third vertical base 233 and the fourth vertical base 242 translate outward. At this time, the first upper roller 213 contacts the side wall of the pipe next to the lower robot, the first lower roller 212 contacts the side wall of the pipe next to the lower robot, the second upper roller contacts the side wall of the pipe next to the lower robot, the second lower roller contacts the side wall of the pipe next to the lower robot, the third upper roller contacts the side wall of the pipe next to the lower robot, the third lower roller contacts the side wall of the pipe next to the lower robot, the fourth upper roller contacts the side wall of the pipe next to the lower robot, and the fourth lower roller contacts the side wall of the pipe next to the lower robot, so as to achieve tight support on four pipes, such as Fig.31 As shown, at the same time, the first transverse roller 220, the second transverse roller, the third transverse roller, and the fourth transverse roller are all in contact with the top of the corresponding pipe, further achieving stable positioning of the lower robot.

[0068] Next, the camera 204, electromagnetic ultrasonic sensor 205, and electromagnetic ultrasonic sensor 206 on the front of the longitudinal beam 201-1 detect the pipes next to the lower robot, and the camera and two electromagnetic ultrasonic sensors on the back of the longitudinal beam 201-1 detect the pipes next to it, that is, to detect the pipes in the lower layer of the pipe bundle. The upper rollers and lower rollers of the four sets of adaptive walking devices rotate to drive the lower robot to move along the length direction of the four pipes, and at the same time, the front active roller 113, the front passive roller 114, the front passive roller 2 115, the rear active roller 120, the rear passive roller 121, and the rear passive roller 2 122 of the upper robot rotate, thereby causing the upper robot to move along the two pipes on the top layer of the pipe bundle. The upper robot moves synchronously while the lower robot moves, so that the lower robot can continuously detect the pipes next to it along the length direction.

[0069] During the movement of the lower robot, the upper roller and lower roller of each set of adaptive walking devices provide power. The arc-shaped structure of the upper roller is matched with the pipeline. The upper roller provides the main power, and the lower roller can also provide a certain power. The lower roller can also adapt to the change in the distance between the pipeline in contact with it and the pipeline in contact with the upper roller. In other words, the lower robot can also adapt to the change in the distance between the upper pipeline and the lower pipeline. It should be noted that four transverse rollers may not be provided. When transverse rollers are not provided, the upper roller does not need to be connected to the transverse part of the top of the base.

[0070] Next, after the detection task is completed, the four sets of adaptive walking devices are retracted to the initial state, the left stepper motor 128 and the right stepper motor 129 of the upper robot are reversed to lift the lower robot, and the lower robot returns to the space of the upper robot, returning to the position as shown in FIG. Fig.28 and 29 Initial state shown. Prepare to inspect pipes at other locations below the bundle.

[0071] It can be seen that the entire robot can achieve full coverage inspection of the three-dimensional tube bundle space. The upward robot carries the lower robot on the top layer of the tube bundle for omnidirectional movement, and controls the position height of the lower robot through the winding mechanism. The lower robot works in the gap between the pipes in the lower layer of the tube bundle. The lower robot can reach a larger space and has a higher inspection coverage rate. It does not need to mechanically open 2-3 layers of pipes on the surface of the tube bundle as in the prior art to reserve space for inspectors to pass through, which greatly reduces costs, eliminates safety hazards, improves inspection efficiency, and reduces the possibility of missed inspections and false inspections. The entire inspection process will not affect the working structure inside the boiler.

[0072] As the mother robot, the upward robot is large in size, fast in movement, and has a strong load capacity. As the child robot, the downward robot is small in size and highly flexible, and can carry the detection device through the gaps in the pipeline. The mother and child robots are suspended and connected by ropes, and both have independent power units, which can achieve autonomous movement, and the robot as a whole is highly flexible.

[0073] It should be noted that, for the bottom robot, the four sets of adaptive walking devices can be extended to fit pipes with different lateral spacings. Fig.32 , Fig.32 Displays the lateral spacing ratio of the pipes Fig.31 The lateral spacing of the middle pipe should be large, so the four slide cylinders of the four sets of adaptive walking devices have a large extension stroke, the four vertical bases have a large outward translation distance, the four upper rollers contact the side walls of the corresponding pipes, and the four lower rollers contact the side walls of the corresponding pipes.

[0074] The above description is only for the preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and changes.
