When the pipeline transitions to multiple branch pipelines, it can be adaptively adjusted; and the second adjusting mechanism adjusts the posture of the detection mechanism relative to the inner wall of the pipeline. When some of the points to be detected on the inner wall of the gas pipeline and the surface of the inner wall of the pipeline are not in the same horizontal plane, the second adjusting mechanism is used to adjust the detection mechanism to be aligned with the point to be detected in real time, so that the detection mechanism is perpendicular to the point to be detected in real time to obtain clearer and more intuitive detection information; wherein, the control device controls the displacement mechanism to slide on the inner wall of the gas pipeline, controls the first adjusting mechanism to adjust the distance of the displacement mechanism relative to the inner wall of the gas pipeline to make adaptive adjustments; controls the second adjusting mechanism to adjust the posture of the detection mechanism relative to the inner wall of the gas pipeline, so that the posture of the detection mechanism can be adjusted in real time in combination with the relevant points to be detected.

Based on the second posture information, the second adjustment mechanism is fed back to adjust the detection mechanism to face the inner wall of the pipe vertically, so as to facilitate the detection by the detection mechanism. The detection information fed back by the detection mechanism and the first posture information are calibrated in real time, and the first posture information and the obtained detection information are differentially processed. When the difference is zero, the detection data obtained by the detection mechanism is output. When the two are different, based on the difference between the two, the feedback is given to the second adjustment mechanism to adjust the detection mechanism so that the readjusted detection surface and the readjusted first posture information are consistent, so as to obtain the most intuitive detection data for the detection point.

[0038] In some embodiments, the displacement mechanism includes: a pair of fixed plates 5, a first rotating rod 6 and a second rotating rod 7 are respectively provided at both ends of the pair of fixed plates 5, the ends of the first rotating rod 6 and the second rotating rod 7 are respectively rotatably connected to the pair of fixed plates 5, the first rotating rod 6 and the second rotating rod 7 are respectively provided with a first gear 8 and a second gear 9, a tooth chain 10 is sleeved along the pair of fixed plates 5, the inner side of the tooth chain 10 is respectively engaged with the first gear 8 and the second gear 9, and a fixed plate near the second rotating rod 7 is provided with a tooth chain 10. A servo 11 is provided outside the fixed plate 5. The output shaft of the servo 11 rotates through the fixed plate 5 and is connected to one end of the first rotating rod 6. The servo 11 is connected to the control device. A plurality of long strips 12 are evenly provided on the outside of the tooth chain. The extension direction of the long strips is consistent with the width direction of the tooth chain. A pair of the fixed plates 5 are provided with a connecting plate 13 on the side close to the housing 1. Two pairs of linkage bars 14 are provided between the connecting plates 13 and the fixed plates 5. The two ends of the linkage bars 14 are connected to the connecting plates 13 and the fixed plates 5 respectively. Figure 1-6As shown, the servo 11 is commercially available, and the state and working parameters of the servo 11 are controlled by a control device. The output shaft of the servo 11 and the second rotating rod 7 can be connected by a coupling. The servo 11 drives the second rotating rod 7 to rotate, driving the second gear 9 to rotate relatively. The toothed chain 10 meshing between the first gear 8 and the second gear 9 rotates with the rotation of the second gear 9, so that the toothed chain 10 rotates relative to the circumference of the fixed plate 5. When the toothed chain 10 is abutted against the inner wall of the gas pipeline, the servo 11 drives the toothed chain 10 to slide on the inner wall of the gas pipeline. Through the cooperation of the three sets of displacement mechanisms, the force is more balanced, making its movement more stable, and the long strips 12 evenly arranged on the outside of the rack can increase the friction effect between the toothed chain 10 and the inner wall of the gas pipeline, thereby maintaining the grip of the toothed chain 10 and the inner wall of the gas pipeline.

[0039] In some embodiments, the first adjustment mechanism includes: a rotating ring 15, the rotating ring 15 is sleeved on the outer wall of the shell 1 and is rotatably connected to the shell 1, and at least three slide grooves 16 are provided along different radial directions of the shell 1, the slide grooves 16 are evenly arranged below the shell 1 with the shell 1 as the center, one end of the slide groove is connected to the outer wall of the shell, and a slide bar 17 is provided in the slide groove 16, and the end of the slide bar 17 away from the shell 1 is connected to the connecting plate 13; at least three arcuate bars 18 are evenly provided on the outside of the rotating ring 15, one end of the arcuate bar 18 is respectively connected to the outside of the rotating ring 15, and the other end of the arcuate bar 18 extends away from the rotating ring 15, and the arcuate bar 18 is respectively provided with an arcuate sliding hole 19, and the slide bar 17 is provided with a linkage rod 20 near the arcuate sliding hole 19, one end of the linkage rod 20 is connected to the slide bar 17, and the other end passes through the corresponding arcuate sliding hole 19 and is slidably connected to the arcuate sliding hole 19. Figure 1-6 As shown, the rotating ring 15 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the shell 1. When the rotating ring 15 rotates relative to the shell 1, due to the sliding of at least three arc-shaped sliding holes 19 and the linkage rod 20 on the outer side of the rotating ring 15, when the rotating ring 15 rotates, the linkage rod 20 slides in the corresponding arc-shaped sliding holes 19 respectively. At this time, according to the different rotation directions of the rotating ring 15, the slide bar 17 slides in the slide groove 16. The sliding direction of the slide bar 17 is determined by the rotation direction of the rotating ring 15. When the slide bar 17 slides away from the shell 1, the displacement mechanism is moved relative to the inner wall of the gas pipeline, so that the displacement mechanism and the inner wall of the gas pipeline are in contact with each other, which is convenient for corresponding adjustment according to the inner walls of gas pipelines of different specifications.

[0040] In some embodiments, a gear ring 21 is further provided at the bottom of the rotating ring 15, and a first motor 23 is connected to the outer wall of the housing 1 through a mounting rod 22. The output shaft of the first motor 23 is connected to a third gear 24, and the third gear 24 is engaged with the gear ring 21. The first motor 23 is connected to the control device. Figure 1-6 As shown, the first motor 23 is commercially available. The state and parameters of the first motor 23 are controlled by a control device, so that the first motor 23 drives the third gear 24 to rotate. The first motor 23 is connected to the outside of the shell 1 through the mounting rod 22. The third gear 24 is engaged with the gear ring 21. The gear ring 21 is transmitted through the third gear 24, so that the rotating ring 15 is driven to rotate relative to the shell 1, so that the distance between multiple displacement mechanisms and the inner wall of the gas pipeline is adjusted at the same time, thereby avoiding the influence of errors when adjusting different displacement mechanisms. At the same time, multiple different displacement mechanisms are adjusted at the same time by one first motor 23, thereby improving the adjustment efficiency.

[0041] In some embodiments, the end of the slide bar 17 close to the housing 1 is further provided with a guide hole 25 along the radial direction of the housing 1, and a sliding rod 26 is provided in the guide hole 25. One end of the sliding rod 26 is connected to the side wall of the housing 1, and the other end of the sliding rod 26 is slidably connected to the guide hole 25.

Figure 1-6 As shown, the slide bar 17 is provided with a guide hole 25 along the radial direction of the shell 1. When the slide bar 17 slides in the slide groove 16 toward the direction of the shell 1, the slide rod 26 slides into the guide hole 25. At this time, the spring 27 on the slide rod 26 is compressed between the side wall of the shell 1 and the slide bar 17. When the slide bar 17 slides toward the inner wall of the gas pipeline, the spring 27 recovers its deformation, driving the slide bar 17 to slide toward the gas pipeline in the slide groove 16. At the same time, when the slide bar 17 slides toward the inner wall of the gas pipeline, the spring 27 recovers its deformation and is stretched. When the direction of the force changes, the spring 27 will recover its deformation again. During the entire sliding process of the slide bar 17, the action of the spring 27 makes its sliding more stable, thereby ensuring the adjustment effect of its first adjustment mechanism.

[0043] The present invention also provides a method for detecting defects in a gas transmission pipeline, which uses a gas transmission pipeline detection device as described in any of the preceding items and comprises the following steps:

[0044] S1: Using a first adjustment mechanism to adjust the distance between the displacement mechanism and the inner wall of the gas pipeline so that the displacement mechanism abuts against the inner wall of the gas pipeline;

The displacement mechanism contacts the inner wall of the gas pipeline, so that the displacement mechanism can slide along the inner wall of the pipeline and be detected by the detection mechanism. The second posture information of the top plane of the shell 1 is obtained to adjust the detection mechanism to face the inner wall of the pipeline vertically. Then, the detection information of the point to be detected fed back in real time by the detection mechanism and the first posture information of the positioning plate 2 are used for calibration. After calibration, the detection data of the corresponding detection point is obtained so that adjustment can be made according to the detection point.

[0048] Specifically, in S3, the detection information of the point to be detected fed back by the detection mechanism is: an ultrasonic detector 3 is installed on the positioning plate 2, and cameras 4 are set on both sides of the positioning plate 2 close to the ultrasonic detector 3. The defects of the point to be detected on the inner wall of the pipeline are detected by using ultrasonic waves, and the auxiliary camera 4 is used for detection to obtain the plane information of the point to be detected, and calibration is performed based on the real-time acquisition of the plane information of the point to be detected using the first posture information.

[0049] Specifically, in S3, the detection information of the point to be detected and the first posture information of the positioning plate 2 fed back in real time by the detection mechanism are calibrated as follows: the first posture information and the obtained detection information are differentiated, and when the difference is zero, the detection data obtained by the detection mechanism is output; when the two are different, based on the difference between the two, the feedback is given to the second adjustment mechanism to adjust the detection mechanism so that the readjusted detection surface and the readjusted first posture information remain consistent, so as to obtain the most intuitive detection data of the detection point.
