The robot can detect and identify damaged surfaces, such as cracks, broken points, etc. through the sensors and cameras it carries. Once a problem is found, the robot will use a UV ultraviolet light curing device to repair it. The Chinese patent "CN202310992813.2" discloses a UV ultraviolet light curing repair inspection robot, which proposes: in the field of pipeline repair robots, it is used for pipeline repair, and it includes a body with walking wheels, the body drives the rocker gearbox to drive the rocker drive shaft to slide horizontally along the guide groove through the rocker drive motor and drives the active rocker and the auxiliary rocker to swing through the rocker bar hole of the active rocker, and the active rocker and the auxiliary rocker drive the speed change housing to move relative to the body; the speed change housing has a seat body drive motor, the seat body drive motor is located at the input end of the speed change housing, the output end of the speed change housing is connected to the seat body shaft, the seat body shaft is connected to the rotating seat body, the rotating seat body is rotatably connected to the curing assembly, and the curing assembly is distributed with a number of curing lamp groups, and the curing lamp group extends in the direction away from the body. In view of the above technical scheme, the irradiation angle, extension direction, etc. of the UV light curing device can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to pipeline repairs at different locations.

[0003] It can be seen from the above-mentioned device that although a UV ultraviolet light curing repair robot is proposed, which is more convenient for repairing pipelines at different positions, the applicant believes that the following defects still exist:

[0004] 1. When the above-mentioned UV ultraviolet light curing repair robot is inspecting and repairing inside the pipeline, due to its large size, it is only suitable for inspection and repair inside large pipelines. In addition, a large number of ultraviolet lamps are installed, and the energy consumption is high when performing light repair inside the pipeline. The ultraviolet lamps are installed in large numbers and the steering adjustment angle radius is large, which makes it easy to collide and damage the ultraviolet light. The overall body is integrated and it is not convenient to disassemble for inspection and replace accessories separately, resulting in high costs and poor adaptability.

[0005] 2. During the inspection of the inside of the pipeline, the existing UV ultraviolet light curing repair robot sets multiple cameras to detect in multiple directions at the same time. Instead of a single detector following the movement of the robot to synchronously perform multi-angle rotation detection, the overall structure is complex and increases the cost. In addition, when inspecting the inside of the pipeline, the robot sets a moving component to irradiate ultraviolet light to the damaged part for repair, and the ultraviolet light emitter cannot be freely rotated in all directions for positioning and repair, resulting in low work efficiency and high cost. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a UV ultraviolet light curing repair inspection robot, which has the advantages of small overall size, low cost and is suitable for various pipeline inspections. The body can maintain stable and continuous output of ultraviolet light during curing and repair, and is easy to disassemble and convenient for staff to perform repairs and maintenance.

The problem is that during the inspection of the inside of the pipeline by the existing UV ultraviolet light curing repair robot, multiple cameras are set to perform simultaneous detection in multiple directions, instead of a single detector following the movement of the robot to perform multi-angle rotation detection synchronously, and the overall structure is complicated and the cost is increased.

[0019] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] (1) Through the cooperation between the wheel drive assembly and the rotation detection mechanism, when the servo motor rotates, the active sprocket drives the two driven sprockets to rotate, and the two driven sprockets drive the limit rod and the wheels on both sides of the limit rod to rotate, so that the four wheels drive the robot to walk in a straight line inside the pipeline. The pipeline inspected by this robot is usually linear, so there is no need to add a steering mechanism. When the wheel rotates, the active bevel gear on the outer surface of the transmission shaft drives the passive bevel gear to rotate together. When the passive bevel gear rotates, it drives the driving bevel gear to rotate together through the connection of the rotating shaft. The driving bevel gear drives the linkage bevel gear to rotate together through the surface teeth. When the linkage bevel gear is driven to rotate, the limit rod rotates, and the rotating base drives the sensor to rotate around the limit rod as the center to scan and inspect the inner wall of the pipeline;

[0021] (2) Through the cooperation between the rotation detection mechanism and the angle adjustment mechanism, after the sensor rotates around the limit rod, the drive motor is started, and the drive motor drives the turbine to rotate through the worm. When the turbine rotates, it drives the hollow tube to rotate together, and the limit rod base also rotates with the hollow tube. When the limit rod base rotates, it drives the linked bevel gear on the outer surface of the limit rod to revolve. At this moment, the servo motor is still in the on state. When the linked bevel gear revolves, the drive bevel gear is still driven to rotate, and the revolution of the linked bevel gear is offset to prevent the static state of the driven bevel gear from driving the linked bevel gear to rotate when the sensor is sensing in parallel. When the limit rod base drives the sensor to perform parallel rotation scanning, the drive motor stops working, and the sensor continues to rotate around the limit rod to scan and inspect the inside of the pipeline. A single sensor can be used to inspect the damage inside the pipeline without blind spots, effectively reducing the maintenance cost of the manufacturing machine.

[0022] (3) By limiting the coordination between the moving mechanism and the lifting and repairing mechanism, the sensor detects the damage and transmits the command to open the servo cylinder to drive the buckle to move. The initial position of the buckle is next to the limit roller. After the servo cylinder is turned on, the limit roller is immediately clamped to prevent the scanning position from shifting. After that, the tooth plates on both sides continue to move. The buckle contracts inward through the telescopic rod and the limit roller is still limited by the support force of the limit spring. When the tooth plates on both sides continue to move, the fixed rod under the left tooth plate drives the cross bar to move. The cross bar pushes the support rod bases on both sides to move in the slide rail. When the support rod bases on both sides move, they drive the first support rod and the second support rod to rotate downward and descend. The first support rod and the second support rod As the support pole descends, it drives the support plate below to descend together. The support plates on both sides continue to descend and touch the ground to lift the inspection robot, maintain the stability of the inspection robot, and make the distance between the ultraviolet light emitter and the damaged part in the pipeline shorter. After the ascent is completed, the ultraviolet light emitter is turned on to emit UV ultraviolet light for curing and repairing. UV ultraviolet light curing repair technology is a fast curing repair method. It uses ultraviolet light to irradiate specific photosensitive materials to make them cure quickly and form a solid repair layer. This method has the advantages of fast curing speed, environmental friendliness, and no need for additional heating. The inspection robot is supported by the support plates on both sides to ensure the fixation of the inspection robot. UA ultraviolet light curing repair is more efficient.

[0023] (4) Through the cooperation between the clamping assembly and the sensor, one end of the sensor is inserted into the inner side of the clamping plate and then pulled outward. The clamping plate is driven to move outward by the elasticity of the tension spring. When it moves to the periphery, the other side of the sensor is installed into the inside of the clamping base plate and then the sensor is released. The clamping base plate and the clamping plate clamp the sensor in place, which facilitates the disassembly and charging of the sensor and the UV light curing emitter or the inspection and maintenance of the sensor and the UV light curing emitter by the staff, and reduces the overall volume to save manufacturing costs.

[0052] The complete usage steps and working principle of the above-mentioned embodiment 2 are as follows:

[0053] First, install one end of the sensor 6 base into the inner side of the clamping plate 55, and pull the sensor 6 outward after one end of the sensor 6 enters the inner side of the clamping plate 55. The clamping plate 55 is driven to move outward by the elasticity of the tension spring 54. When it moves to the periphery, install the other side of the sensor 6 into the inside of the clamping base plate 51 and then release the sensor 6. The clamping base plate 51 and the clamping plate 55 clamp the sensor 6. Next, turn on the servo motor 21 to drive the transmission shaft 22 to rotate. When the transmission shaft 22 rotates, the active sprocket 23 drives the driven sprockets 25 on both sides to rotate. When the driven sprockets 25 on both sides rotate, the wheel axle 26 on the inner surface thereof is driven to rotate, and the rotating shaft 26 drives the wheels 27 on both sides to rotate, thereby achieving the rotation of both sides. The wheel 27 drives the inspection robot to move back and forth in the pipeline to check whether the inside of the pipeline is damaged. When the transmission shaft 22 drives the active sprocket 23 to rotate, it also drives the active bevel gear 31 on the outer surface of the transmission shaft 22 to rotate. The active bevel gear 31 drives the passive bevel gear 32 to rotate through the surface teeth. When the passive bevel gear 32 rotates, it drives the driving bevel gear 34 to rotate through the connection of the rotating shaft. The driving bevel gear 34 drives the linkage bevel gear 35 to rotate through the surface teeth. When the linkage bevel gear 35 is driven to rotate, the rotating base 37 drives the sensor 6 to rotate around the limit rod 36 as the center through the rotation of the limit rod 36 to scan and inspect the inside of the pipeline.

[0054] Secondly, after the sensor 6 rotates 180 degrees around the limit rod 36, the drive motor 41 is started. The drive motor 41 drives the turbine 44 to rotate through the worm 43. When the turbine 44 rotates, it drives the hollow tube 45 to rotate together. The limit rod base 46 also rotates with the hollow tube 45. When the limit rod base 46 rotates, it drives the linked bevel gear 35 on the outer surface of the limit rod 36 to revolve. At this moment, the servo motor 21 is still in the on state. When the linked bevel gear 35 revolves, the drive bevel gear 34 is still driven to rotate, and the linked bevel gear 35 revolves. The revolutions of the gear 35 cancel each other out to prevent the stationary state of the driven bevel gear 34 from driving the linked bevel gear 35 to rotate when the sensor 6 is sensing in parallel. After the limit rod base 46 drives the sensor 6 to rotate 360 ​​degrees in parallel for scanning, the drive motor 41 stops working and the sensor 6 continues to rotate 180 degrees with the limit rod 36 as the center to scan and inspect the inside of the pipeline. When the sensor 6 scans the damaged point in the pipeline, the drive motor 41 can be controlled to accurately adjust the angle of the sensor 6 to the place that needs to be repaired, and then the servo motor 21 and the drive motor 41 are controlled to stop at the same time.

[0055] When the gear plates 83 on both sides are displaced, the buckle 87 on the outer surface of the gear plate 83 first contacts the limit roller 28, and the buckle 87 firmly presses against the teeth of the limit roller 28 to prevent the wheel from rotating and deviating again. After the buckle 87 presses against the limit roller 28, the gear plate 83 continues to move, and the buckle 87 contracts inwardly through the telescopic rod 85 and still limits the movement of the limit roller 28 through the supporting force of the limit spring 86. When the gear plates 83 on both sides continue to move, the fixed rod 91 under the left gear plate 83 drives the cross bar 92 to move, and the cross bar 92 pushes the support rod bases 93 on both sides to move in the slide rails 94. The shaft 911 connects the first support rod 96 and the second support rod 910, so that the first support rod 96 drives the second support rod 910 to tilt and rotate downward with the support shaft 911, driving the support plate 912 to move downward. The support plates 912 on both sides continue to descend and touch the ground to lift the inspection robot, maintain the stability of the inspection robot, and make the distance between the ultraviolet light emitter 7 and the damaged part in the pipeline shorter. After the ascent is completed, the ultraviolet light emitter 7 is turned on to emit UV ultraviolet light for curing and repair. UV ultraviolet light curing repair technology is a fast curing repair method. It uses ultraviolet light to irradiate specific photosensitive materials to make them cure quickly and form a solid repair layer. This method has the advantages of fast curing speed, environmental friendliness, and no need for additional heating. The inspection robot is supported by the support plates 912 on both sides to ensure the fixation of the inspection robot. UA ultraviolet light curing repair is more efficient.

[0056] Working principle of the present invention:

[0057] When in use, first, through the wheel drive assembly 2, the rotation detection mechanism 3 and the angle adjustment mechanism 4, the wheel 27 is driven to move forward in the pipeline while driving the sensor 6 to perform rotational scanning in the pipeline. The servo motor 21 and the drive motor 41 are used in coordination to enable the sensor 6 to inspect the pipeline without blind spots. When the sensor 6 detects a damaged part, the servo motor 21 is turned off and the servo cylinder 81 is started. The wheel 27 is limited by the buckle 87, and the support rod bases 93 on both sides are driven by the cross bar 92 to enable the support plate 912 to prop up the inspection robot, so that the ultraviolet light emitter can perform curing and repair on the damaged part with higher efficiency and closer distance.
