Subsea oil and gas resources, due to their vast reserves and relatively stable extraction conditions, have become a vital component of the global energy supply. However, as critical pathways connecting subsea oil and gas fields with onshore processing facilities, submarine oil and gas pipelines face various challenges brought about by the complex marine environment during long-term operation, such as corrosion, leakage, and damage. These risks not only lead to energy waste and environmental pollution, but also pose serious threats to personnel safety.

The end of the cable is connected to the front end of the rear bonding block 407. The rear bonding block 407 is a frustum, with a large front end and a small rear end. The front end of the rear bonding block 407 is designed with an electromagnet 405, and the controllable battery 404 controls the power to bond to the outer wall of the pipe.

[0046] When the crawling mechanism 300 detects that there is a large deformation or a flow rate mutation in the pipeline, the device opens the crawling mode, and the form is similar to a caterpillar, and the flexible connecting hose 302 of the crawling mechanism 300 is used to change the device into an inverted U-shaped structure. The peristaltic process is realized by the cooperation of the self-controlled adsorber 3070 and the crawling frame 306. One end is fixed by the self-controlled adsorber 3070, and the other end is moved forward by the crawling frame 306. The repeated process enables the device to move stably forward. The peristaltic crawling process of the device can also be understood as the self-controlled adsorber 3070 of the crawling front cabin 301 and the crawling rear cabin 303 working alternately.

[0047] The front fitting block 403 extends the cable of the telescopic cable box 406 to release the rear fitting block 407 in a traction form. After the rear fitting block 407 extends behind the damaged part, when the telescopic cable box 406 retracts the cable, the self-controlled guide rail slider 410 in the rear fitting block 407 is started, the umbrella-shaped structure is opened to expand the fitting area, the electromagnet 405 of the rear fitting block 407 is started, the rear fitting block 407 of the repair mechanism 400 is firmly adsorbed on the outer wall of the pipeline, and then the breakable cable box 402 in front of the front fitting block 403 extends the cable, at the same time the telescopic cable box 406 retracts the cable, the electromagnet 405 of the front fitting block 403 is started, and the front fitting block 403 is fitted to the inner wall of the pipeline, and the rear fitting block 407 is fitted to the damaged part.

[0048] The monitoring ring 4120 detects that there is no abnormal fluid flow in the damaged part, which means that the repair is good, then the breakable cable box 402 breaks the cable, and the front fitting block 403 and the rear fitting block 407 are left in the damaged part, the air bag 4124 of the monitoring ring 4120 is inflated, the monitoring ring 4120 is disconnected after inflation to float on the water surface and transmit data, the self-controlled adsorber 3070 of the crawling mechanism 300 is closed, the various sensors of the head mechanism 100 are started, the fan plate 103 is opened, the propeller 104 is started, and the helical propeller 202 of the propulsion mechanism 200 is started.
