Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of non-destructive testing of steel wire ropes, and in particular relates to a transverse steel wire rope inspection robot with a bending adaptive structure. Background Art

[0002] Wire ropes are widely used in many fields, such as construction, heavy cargo transportation, mining, and navigation. However, most wire ropes are subject to harsh operating conditions. After long-term use, they inevitably suffer from wear, fatigue, and other damage, leading to wire breakage. Therefore, regular damage inspection is essential. Traditional methods require experienced workers to visually inspect the wire ropes or to cut a section of the wire rope for testing in a laboratory. This is inefficient and dangerous. Therefore, flaw detectors suitable for non-destructive testing of wire ropes have emerged, but current flaw detectors require additional towing equipment. While some automated wire rope inspection robots exist, they are generally heavy. While they can climb vertical wire ropes using high-powered climbing equipment, they are not suitable for flaw detection on transverse wire ropes. Their large mass makes them unstable horizontally and can also cause additional damage to the wire rope, such as bending fatigue. Furthermore, the cylindrical sensor portion of current wire rope inspection robots can cause wear between the wire rope and the sensor when inspecting curved wire ropes, reducing detection accuracy and potentially damaging the robot. Therefore, whether it is possible to develop a transverse wire rope inspection robot that can adapt to the bending of the wire rope, make it lighter, and adapt to the degree of bending of the wire rope has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in this field in recent years.

[0036] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0037] like Figures 1-9 As shown, the transverse wire rope inspection robot with a bend-adaptive structure of the present invention includes: a housing 5, an attachment claw 1, an anti-slip device 2, a universal propeller power system 4, an electromagnetic detection module 3, and a visual inspection auxiliary module 6. The housing 5 has an opening on one side, arranged along a first predetermined direction. The electromagnetic detection module 3 is disposed within the housing 5. The opening is used to allow the wire rope to pass through, allowing the wire rope to enter the housing 5, thereby performing electromagnetic flaw detection on the wire rope. The first predetermined direction is consistent with the extension direction of the wire rope, the movement direction of the robot, and the horizontal direction.

[0038] There are two attachment claws 1, which are arranged at both ends of the shell 5 at intervals along a first preset direction. When the robot is working, the wire rope needs to pass through the two attachment claws 1, and the wire rope needs to enter the electromagnetic detection module 3. The attachment claws 1 can wrap the wire rope along the circumferential direction to make it more stable during operation.

[0039] The anti-skid device 2 is provided on the outer end surface of the housing 5 and corresponds to one of the attachment claws 1 ; the anti-skid device 2 is used to lock the wire rope in the event of a sudden power outage to achieve an anti-skid effect.

[0040] Two universal propeller power systems 4 are respectively arranged on the top and bottom of the housing 5 near one end of the anti-slip device 2; the universal propeller power systems 4 can provide wind power to provide power for the robot to move forward and backward.

[0041] The visual detection auxiliary module 6 is arranged on the circumferential surface of the outer shell 5 away from the anti-slip device 2. The visual detection auxiliary module 6 is used to capture the bending degree of the wire rope and the tilt degree of the robot, and provide information to the electromagnetic detection module 3 and the universal propeller power system 4.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the shell 5 is a hexagonal prism structure, and circular holes are provided in the middle positions of the two hexagonal faces of the shell 5. The two circular holes are connected to the opening on one side of the shell 5. The diameter of the circular hole is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the wire rope. After the wire rope enters from the opening on the side of the shell 5, it cooperates with the attachment claws 1 at both ends at the position of the circular hole.

[0043] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, there are two attachment claws 1, and the two attachment claw bases 101 are connected to the two end surfaces of the housing 5 via connecting rods 108. The attachment claw 1 includes the attachment claw base 101, an opening and closing rod 103, an arcuate ring 107, and a support wheel 106. The attachment claw base 101 is provided with a rotating shaft 102 arranged along a first predetermined direction. The rotating shaft 102 is provided with an arcuate opening and closing rod 103. A torsion spring 109 is provided below the rotating shaft 102, and one end of the torsion spring 109 contacts the opening and closing rod 103.

[0044] The first end of the arcuate ring 107 is fixed to the attachment claw base 101. The second end of the arcuate ring 107 engages with the upper end of the opening and closing rod 103, while the lower end of the opening and closing rod 103 is free. The opening and closing rod 103 opens and closes the arcuate ring 107 via the rotating shaft 102. Pulling the opening and closing rod 103 downward rotates the rotating shaft 102, causing the upper end to align with the second end of the arcuate ring 107. This opens the arcuate ring 107, allowing the wire rope to enter the arcuate ring 107. The opening and closing rod 103 then automatically returns to its original position under the action of the torsion spring 109, automatically closing the arcuate ring 107. The opening and closing rod 103 of the attachment claw 1 can only move downward, achieving self-locking during wrapping, providing both support and fall prevention.

[0045] A plurality of support wheels 106 are provided at intervals on the arc ring 107, and an anti-collision wheel 104 is also provided in the attachment claw base 101. The anti-collision wheel 104 is sleeved on the first end of the arc ring 107, and the anti-collision wheel 104 cooperates with the plurality of support wheels 106. The anti-collision wheel 104 can prevent the steel wire rope from rubbing and colliding with the attachment claw base 101 when it fluctuates; when the steel wire rope enters the arc ring 107, the support wheel 106 and the anti-collision wheel 104 can support the circumference of the steel wire rope, thereby realizing the attachment of the robot to the steel wire rope, so that the robot can crawl stably along the steel wire rope.

[0046] like Figure 9 As shown, support springs 105 are provided in the support wheel 106 and the anti-collision wheel 104. The support springs 105 can achieve a certain degree of obstacle crossing and adapt to the diameter of the wire rope.

[0047] Specifically, the support spring 105 is welded inside the support wheel 106 and the anti-collision wheel 104. The inner rings of the support wheel 106 and the anti-collision wheel 104 are elastic rings. When encountering small protrusions on the wire rope or the diameter of the wire rope increases, the support spring 105 is compressed, thereby achieving a certain degree of obstacle crossing and adapting to the diameter of the wire rope.

[0048] like Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the anti-slip device 2 includes an anti-slip device base 201, which is arranged on the outer shell 5. The anti-slip device base 201 is provided with an electric push rod 202 and a slide rail 206. The push rod of the electric push rod 202 is connected to the push plate 203, and the push plate 203 is slidably connected to the slide rail 206.

[0049] Two transmission rods 204 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the pushing plate 203, one end of the transmission rod 204 is hinged to the opening and closing plate 205, and the other end of the transmission rod 204 is hinged to the pushing plate 203. A group of sliding components 208 are respectively installed at the bottom of the two opening and closing plates 205 and connected to the anti-slip device base 201. When the push rod of the electric push rod 202 drives the pushing plate 203 to move along the slide rail 206, the pushing plate 203 pushes the two opening and closing plates 205 to move to both sides respectively through the transmission rod 204. When the two opening and closing plates 205 move to both sides, the sliding components 208 are responsible for supporting the opening and closing plates 205 and limiting the opening and closing plates 205 to move only to both sides.

[0050] A friction claw 207 is provided at the end of the opening and closing plate 205 away from the transmission rod 204. The two friction claws 207 are arranged opposite each other. When the opening and closing plate 205 moves toward its ends, the two friction claws 207 separate. A return spring 209 is installed between the two opening and closing plates 205. In the event of an emergency power outage, the electric push rod 202 loses power. The opening and closing plate 205, under the action of the return spring 209, drives the friction claws 207 to lock onto the wire rope, achieving a slip-resistant effect.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the universal propeller power system 4 includes a fixed column 401, which is mounted on the housing 5 at one end near the anti-slip device 2. The fixed column 401 is connected to the reversing column 403 via a Z-direction servo motor 402, enabling the reversing column 403 to rotate on the Z axis. The reversing column 403 is connected to the reversing column 405 via a Y-direction servo motor 404, enabling the reversing column 405 to rotate on the Y axis. The reversing column 405 is connected to the propeller assembly 407 via a secondary Y-direction servo motor 406, enabling the propeller assembly 407 to rotate on the secondary Y axis. The axial direction of the propeller assembly 407 is perpendicular to the Y axis. This connection method prevents the propeller from colliding with components such as the robot housing 5 when rotating with the secondary Y-direction servo motor 406, and also allows the propeller to provide power in any direction.

[0052] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the electromagnetic detection module 3 includes a mounting bracket 303, which is mounted on the inner wall of the end face of the housing 5. A pneumatic push rod 304 is mounted on the mounting bracket 303 along a second predetermined direction, which is perpendicular to the first predetermined direction and coincides with the vertical direction. The push rod of the pneumatic push rod 304 is connected to a slider base 302. There are two mounting brackets 303, each with a slider base 302. The two slider bases 302 are arranged in an upper and lower position relative to each other. An air inlet 301 is provided in the slider base 302, which is connected to a pneumatic soft body. The upper slider base 302 is connected to an upper pneumatic soft body 305, while the lower slider base 302 is connected to a lower pneumatic soft body 306. Compressed gas can control the bending of the upper and lower pneumatic soft bodies 305 and 306 through the air inlet 301.

[0053] The upper pneumatic body 305 and the lower pneumatic body 306 are both arranged along a first predetermined direction. The lower pneumatic body 306 is connected to a telescopic sleeve 307, which contains a permanent magnet 308 and multiple Hall sensors 309. The permanent magnet 308 and multiple Hall sensors 309 form an electromagnetic flaw detection assembly for detecting wire ropes.

[0054] When the attachment claw 1 is opened for inserting the steel wire rope, the pneumatic push rod 304 contracts, and the upper pneumatic soft body 305 and the lower pneumatic soft body 306 move to both sides, opening the battery detection module 3 and allowing the steel wire rope to enter.

[0055] There are three visual inspection auxiliary modules 6, spaced 120° apart along the circumference of the housing 5. Each module 6 includes an angle adjustment assembly 601 and an industrial camera 602. The angle adjustment assembly 601 is hinged by two connecting rods, one of which is connected to the industrial camera 602, and the other is bolted to the circumference of the housing 5 away from the anti-slip device 2. The industrial camera 602 is used to identify external damage and bend angles of the wire rope.

[0056] The electromagnetic detection module 3 adaptively adjusts the bending degree of its own structure through the wire rope bending degree signal transmitted by the visual detection auxiliary module 6 to avoid friction damage between the sensor and the bent wire rope; at the same time, the universal propeller power system 4 adaptively adjusts the power direction of the propeller through the angle sensor and the robot tilt degree signal transmitted by the visual detection auxiliary module 6 to avoid the robot spinning while crawling along the wire rope.

[0057] When the present invention is used, the attachment claws 1 and the electromagnetic detection module 3 are first opened, and the wire rope is passed through the two attachment claws 1, the anti-slip device 2 and the electromagnetic detection module 3. Then, the visual detection auxiliary module 6 takes pictures of the damage and bending angle of the wire rope and transmits them to the electromagnetic detection module 3 and the universal propeller power system 4. The universal propeller adjusts the power direction according to the received signal, and the electromagnetic detection module 3 performs electromagnetic flaw detection on the wire rope.
