Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of pipeline inner wall detection, and discloses a pipeline defect detection robot, which solves the problem that, during the flaw detection inspection of the inner wall, internal liquid needs to be discharged before the inspection is carried out, which makes the operation process cumbersome, complicated and inconvenient. The inner support cover is pulled by a traction mechanism to drive a silicon capsule to move in the pipeline. The silicon capsule is supported by the internal transparent liquid, and its outer surface is against the inner wall of the pipeline, so that the liquid with poor light transmittance in the pipeline is squeezed to the two sides of the silicon capsule, so that the outer surface of the silicon capsule and the inner wall of the pipe are in close contact. Then, a shooting component directly shoots the inner wall of the pipe through the transparent liquid and the silicon capsule for flaw detection. The traction mechanism pulls the silicon capsule to move in the pipe, and the liquid in the moving direction of the silicon capsule can flow to the other side through the hollow cavity in the middle of the inner support cover, which greatly reduces the resistance of the liquid or fluid to the silicon capsule, so that the device can be moved in the pipe more conveniently.

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] In order to further understand the content of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0034] Embodiment 1, combined with Figure 1-Figure 12 A pipeline defect detection robot comprises a flaw detection mechanism 1 arranged in a pipe for flaw detection, a traction mechanism 2 arranged at one side of the flaw detection mechanism 1 for traction of the flaw detection mechanism 1 to move in the pipe, the flaw detection mechanism 1 comprises an inner support cover 11 with a hollow inner side, the inner support cover 11 is connected to the traction mechanism 2, a silicon capsule 12 is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the inner support cover 11, the silicon capsule 12 is cylindrical and has a sealed cavity inside, the cavity is filled with a transparent liquid, an outer support component 13 is also arranged in the cavity, the outer support component 13 and the inner support cover 11 cooperate to respectively fit the inner and outer surfaces of the silicon capsule 12, and a shooting component 14 for shooting the inner wall of the pipe is arranged on the outer surface of the outer support component 13;

[0035] The silicon capsule 12 is transparent and elastic, and the diameter of the outer surface is consistent with the inner wall of the tube. The transparent liquid filled in the silicon capsule 12 causes the outer surface of the silicon capsule 12 to press against the inner wall of the tube with pressure.

[0036] The above working principle and technical effect are: the silicon capsule 12 can be made of PDMS silicone film, which has high light transmittance and good recovery elasticity;

[0037] The inner support cover 11 is pulled by the traction mechanism 2 to move in the pipeline, thereby driving the silicone capsule 12 to move in the pipeline. The silicone capsule 12 is supported by the internal transparent liquid, and its outer surface is against the inner wall of the pipeline, thereby squeezing the liquid or fluid with poor light transmittance in the pipeline to the two sides of the silicone capsule 12, so that the outer surface of the silicone capsule 12 and the inner wall of the tube are in close contact. In this way, the shooting component 14 can directly shoot and inspect the inner wall of the tube through the transparent liquid and the silicone capsule 12. The traction mechanism 2 pulls the silicone capsule 12 to move in the tube. The liquid or fluid in the moving direction of the silicone capsule 12 can flow to the other side through the hollow cavity in the middle of the inner support cover 11, which greatly reduces the resistance of the liquid or fluid to the silicone capsule 12, making the device more convenient to move in the tube.

[0038] In the previous embodiment: the two ends of the inner support cover 11 are integrally formed with a speaker cover B111 protruding outward, the outer support assembly 13 includes an outer support cover 131, and the two ends of the outer support cover 131 are provided with a speaker cover A1311 corresponding to the outer surface position of the speaker cover B111, the vertical spacing between the adjacent surfaces of the speaker cover B111 and the speaker cover A1311 is the same, and the silicone capsule 12 slides between the speaker cover B111 and the speaker cover A1311.

[0039] Specifically, by setting the speaker cover B111 and the speaker cover A1311, when the traction mechanism 2 pulls the outer support cover 131 to move, the speaker cover B111 in the direction away from the traction mechanism 2 squeezes the surface of the contacting silicon capsule 12, and further pushes the speaker cover A1311, so as to make the outer support cover 131 relatively fixed on the outside relative to the inner support cover 11. When the silicon capsule 12 is slidably connected to the surface of the junction of the outer support cover 131 and the inner support cover 11, as the outer support cover 131 When pulled and the outer surface of the silicone capsule 12 is pressed against the inner wall of the pipe with pressure, the silicone capsule 12 will roll on the inner wall of the pipe. Therefore, when the inner wall of the pipe is corroded and uneven, scratches will not be generated on the surface of the silicone capsule 12. At the same time, the contact surfaces of the outer support cover 131 and the inner support cover 11 with the silicone capsule 12 are made smooth. When the silicone capsule 12 moves, the outer surface of the silicone capsule 12 rolls and rubs against the inner wall of the pipe, which can also reduce the resistance of the inner wall of the pipe to the silicone capsule 12, making it easier to move.

[0040] In the previous embodiment: a plurality of dividing grooves B112 are evenly opened in the middle of the inner support cover 11, the dividing grooves B112 cut off the inner support cover 11, and the inner walls of the dividing grooves B112 are sealed with elastic sealant B113 and a plurality of steel wire ropes B114 fixedly connected, and the plurality of steel wire ropes B114 are evenly arranged in a ring shape;

[0041] The surface of the outer support cover 131 is provided with a plurality of dividing grooves A1312 corresponding to the positions of the dividing grooves B112, the inner walls of the dividing grooves A1312 are sealed with elastic sealant A1313, and a plurality of steel wire ropes A1314 are fixedly connected, and the plurality of steel wire ropes A1314 are evenly arranged in a ring shape.

[0042] Specifically, for a pipe with an arc, when the outer support cover 131 and the inner support cover 11 move to this position, the steel wire rope B114 and the steel wire rope A1314 located outside the arc of the pipe will correspondingly pull the inner walls on both sides of the dividing groove B112 and the dividing groove A1312, so that the inner walls on both sides of the dividing groove B112 and the dividing groove A1312 squeeze the steel wire rope B114 and the steel wire rope A1314 at the corresponding position on the side close to the arc of the pipe and reduce the distance between them, so that the inner support cover 11 and the outer support cover 131 can bend and still have the supporting force for the silicone capsule 12, so that the device can also pass through the curved pipe.

[0043] In the previous embodiment: the outer support component 13 also includes an annular lifting hoop 132 coaxially arranged on the outside of the outer support cover 131, and the annular lifting hoop 132 is fixed to the periphery of the outer support cover 131 through a support column. The outer support cover 131 is provided with two, and is symmetrical on both sides of the outer support cover 131. The outer support cover 131 is used to support the silicone capsule 12 against the inner wall of the pipe.

[0044] Specifically, the annular lifting hoop 132 supports the silicon capsule 12 , so that the silicon capsule 12 has a larger contact area with the inner wall of the pipe, thereby forming a larger photographic area that can be photographed and inspected by the photographing component 14 .

[0045] In the previous embodiment: the annular lifting hoop 132 is embedded with a rubber ring 1321 close to the outer surface of the silicon capsule 12 , and the rubber ring 1321 supports the silicon capsule 12 to create a distance between the surface of the annular lifting hoop 132 .

[0046] Specifically, when the silicone capsule 12 passes through the bend, the inner wall of the pipe will exert different degrees of compression on the surface of the annular lifting hoop 132. Through the setting of the rubber ring 1321, it will undergo adaptive deformation, thereby ensuring the bending ability of the annular lifting hoop 132, so that the annular lifting hoop 132 can keep squeezing the silicone capsule 12 against the inner wall of the pipe when bending.

[0047] In the previous embodiment: the outer support cover 131 is also provided with a mounting groove 1315, and a control component 15 for pushing the silicon capsule 12 is arranged in the mounting groove 1315. A plurality of control components 15 are arranged in a ring shape, and a connecting cover 1316 for isolation is provided between the control component 15 and the cavity of the silicon capsule 12;

[0048] The control component 15 includes a pushing component 151 that rests against the surface of the silicon capsule 12. Four shock absorbers 152 for supporting the pushing component 151 are arranged on the side away from the surface of the silicon capsule 12 where the pushing component 151 contacts. A sensor 153 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the mounting groove 1315 corresponding to the transmission direction of the pushing component 151. The sensor 153 is electrically connected to the corresponding pushing component 151. A plurality of annular, equidistantly distributed sensing paints 121 are arranged on the inner wall of the silicon capsule 12 cavity. The sensor 153 is used to sense the movement of the sensing paint 121 passing through.

[0049] The inductive coating 121 deforms along with the silicon capsule 12, which can be sensed by the sensor 153, such as a photosensitive sensor corresponding to the reflective coating or an electromagnetic induction sensor corresponding to the magnetic metal coating;

[0050] The pushing component 151 includes a transmission belt 1511 adapted to fit the curvature of the surface of the silicon capsule 12, and two transmission rollers 1512 for supporting the transmission belt 1511 are arranged on the inner side of the transmission belt 1511, and mounting frames 1513 for supporting the transmission rollers 1512 are connected to the two sides of the two transmission rollers 1512, and a driving motor 1514 for driving a transmission roller 1512 to rotate is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting frame 1513, and an arc-shaped support plate 1515 is also fixedly installed between the two mounting frames 1513, and the arc-shaped support plate 1515 is attached to the lower surface of the inner side of the transmission belt 1511, and the two shock absorbers 152 are symmetrically rotatably connected to the two ends of the lower surface of the mounting frame 1513, and are arranged in an "eight" shape;

[0051] Specifically, the transmission belt 1511 is attached to the surface of one side of the silicon capsule 12, and the arc-shaped support plate 1515 is used to support the middle area of ​​the transmission belt 1511 and is also pressed against the surface of the silicon capsule 12. When the transmission roller 1512 connected to the transmission belt 1511 is driven to rotate by the driving motor 1514, the surface friction of the transmission belt 1511 can push the silicon capsule 12 to move.

[0052] When the silicon capsule 12 is pulled by the traction mechanism 2 and rolls on the inner wall of the pipeline, the two pairs of shock absorbers 152 arranged in an "eight" shape stably push the mounting frame 1513, so that the transmission belt 1511 is pressed against the surface of the silicon capsule 12, and the driving motor 1514 is started to assist the silicon capsule 12 to slide between the inner support cover 11 and the outer support cover 131, thereby reducing the static friction between the silicon capsule 12 and the inner wall of the pipeline, and avoiding the insufficient friction coefficient between the silicon capsule 12 and the inner wall of the pipeline, resulting in dynamic friction;

[0053] With respect to the setting of the sensor 153 and the sensing paint 121, the sliding state of the silicon capsule 12 between the inner support cover 11 and the outer support cover 131 can be detected. When the movement of the same sensing paint 121 is detected by multiple sensors 153 at the same time, multiple pushing components 151 push the silicon capsule 12 at the same speed. When the part of the silicon capsule 12 between the inner support cover 11 and the outer support cover 131 is deformed along the moving direction, it will cause the silicon capsule 12 at the deformed position to be not in a vertical plane. At this time, one of the multiple sensors 153 preferentially detects the passage of the sensing paint 121, and controls the pushing component 151 connected to the corresponding electrical signal to reduce the rotation speed until it is adjusted to the same circle of sensing paint 121 being detected by multiple sensors 153 at the same time within the corresponding time range, thereby ensuring that the silicon capsule 12 does not deform excessively when rolling in the pipeline, especially when passing through a bend, to control the deformation state of the silicon capsule 12.

[0054] Embodiment 2, combined with Figure 2 , 3 , 11, 12, the shooting assembly 14 includes a plurality of cameras 141 arranged in a ring shape on the surface of an outer support cover 131, the cameras 141 are arranged at a side close to the outer support cover 131, the probe position of the outer support cover 131 is obliquely aligned with the outer surface area of ​​the silicon capsule 12, a positioning ring 142 is fixedly connected inside the outer support cover 131, a movable moving ring 143 is arranged on one side of the positioning ring 142, an electric telescopic rod 144 is connected between the moving ring 143 and the positioning ring 142, the camera 141 is rotatably installed on one side of the positioning ring 142, a guide groove 146 is arranged on the side of the electric telescopic rod 144 close to the direction of the rotation axis, the guide groove 146 is inclined along the long direction of the camera 141, an L-shaped frame 145 is connected to the surface of the moving ring 143, one end of the L-shaped frame 145 is movable in the guide groove 146.

[0055] Specifically, by setting the camera 141 on one side of the outer support cover 131 and aiming it at the outer surface of the silicon capsule 12 in an inclined posture, the search area of ​​the camera 141 can cover a larger range of the outer surface of the silicon capsule 12, thereby improving the coverage area of ​​its flaw detection. The electric telescopic rod 144 pushes the movable ring 143, which in turn causes one end of the L-shaped frame 145 to move to the inside of the guide groove 146, so that the angle of the camera 141 can be adjusted. In this way, when corrosion is detected on the inner wall of the pipeline, the angle of the camera 141 can be adjusted so that the camera 141 can focus on and shoot the damaged part at a closer position, thereby taking clearer photos of the damaged part for sampling.
