Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of pipeline operation and maintenance and nondestructive testing, and specifically relates to a station upright and multi-branch complex pipeline cleaning and testing robot. Technical Background
[0002] Pipelines are an important part of natural gas purification plants, natural gas transmission stations, refineries, petrochemical plants, chemical plants and other stations. The station pipeline plays the role of the hub and heart of various fluid materials such as gas, oil and raw materials. Its main functions include pressure regulation, metering, purification, cleaning, pressurization and cooling. However, the aging, corrosion and leakage of the station pipeline seriously affect the normal operation of the pipeline, which makes the inspection and maintenance of the pipeline very important. At the same time, the station pipeline structure is complex in size, including various pipeline components such as elbows, reducers, tees, etc. There are many vertical pipelines in the pipeline, the pipeline diameter is not large, there are many types of sizes, and the pipeline length is short. Traditional pipeline inspection methods mainly rely on manual inspections and spot inspections, but manual inspections have many limitations, such as long time, high cost, low efficiency, etc., and can only perform external inspections, and ordinary pipeline robots are difficult to complete the work. Through research, it was found that the existing related pipeline robots still have the following deficiencies in application:
[0003] (1) Most existing pipeline robots use a connecting rod slider mechanism to change the diameter, which will cause the center of gravity of the robot to change during the diameter change process, and the stability and cornering performance will change.
[0004] (2) Existing pipeline robots have poor adaptability to pipelines. They are prone to sliding down when encountering sloped pipelines such as vertical pipelines, and are prone to getting stuck when passing through deformed parts. They are also difficult to pass through branched pipelines.
[0005] (3) The existing pipeline robots have a single detection method for pipelines, with a high false detection rate; the sticky stains and attached dirt inside the pipelines are difficult to clean.
[0006] Therefore, it is urgently necessary to invent a pipeline robot to efficiently clean and inspect the interior of the upright and multi-branched complex pipelines in the upstream station, so as to ensure the integrity of the production operation pipelines of various stations throughout their life cycle.

[0020] S1: Preliminary preparation: Make sure the robot and all its accessories are intact, connect the cables to the robot, check whether the power supply is sufficient, and ensure that the equipment can continue to work.
[0021] S2: Pipe entry operation: Open the valve at the end of the pipeline to be inspected, put the pipeline robot into it, adjust the posture of the pipeline robot, and drive the robot to walk by controlling the rotation of the crawler.
[0022] S3: Inspection and cleaning: Motor III rotates, the cleaning shovel rotates to remove hard stains, the cleaning roller brush cleans the remaining impurities on the pipe wall surface, the CCTV camera monitors the environmental conditions inside the pipe in real time, and scanning and detection are achieved through a pair of rotating transceiver ultrasonic detection probes.

[0023] S4: In-tube adjustment:
[0024] S41: When the pipe diameter changes, the length of the variable diameter unit is adjusted, thereby changing the distance between the crawler units to adapt to different pipe diameters.
[0025] S42: When the pipeline robot is no longer stable while passing through a sloped pipeline, the electromagnet in the track unit is energized to adsorb the pipe wall, and the friction between the track and the pipe wall increases to prevent the robot from sliding down in the sloped pipeline.
[0026] S43: When the pipeline robot encounters an obstacle that the crawler cannot directly cross during walking, the length of the electric push rod is adjusted, the rear motor seat rotates, the reducer unit rotates, the reducer unit drives the crawler unit connected to it to rotate, and the crawler unit rotates to overcome the obstacle.

[0028] S5: Robot recovery: After completing the cleaning and inspection tasks, control the robot to slowly exit the pipeline and put the pipeline robot and accessories in order.
[0029] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
