Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to an improvement in the design of a seat, in particular to a mobile robot for laser cleaning of the inner wall of a pipe. Background Art

[0002] After long-term use, a large amount of attachments or rust will form on the inner wall of the pipeline, affecting the normal use of the pipeline. The traditional cleaning method is to soak and scrub with detergent, which is inconvenient and will cause corrosion to the pipeline and produce a large amount of chemical residue.

[0003] To address this problem, laser cleaning is used to clean the pipeline. Generally, a high-energy laser beam is used to irradiate the inner wall of the pipeline, so that the dirt, rust and other impurities on the inner wall of the pipeline are instantly evaporated or peeled off, thereby achieving the cleaning effect of the inner wall of the pipeline. It has the advantages of no grinding, no contact and no heat effect.

The support rod 16 is rotatably matched with the middle part of the main body 1, the support rod 16 is rotatably matched with the support rod 27, the support rod 16 is rotatably matched with the fixed ring 14, the support rod 27 is rotatably matched with the movable ring 15, and the support rod 16 is provided with a driving wheel mechanism 8 that can contact the inner wall of the pipeline. When the movable ring 15 approaches the fixed ring 14, the angle between the support rod 16 and the support rod 27 is reduced, and the driving wheel mechanism 8 can adjust its position to abut against the inner wall of the pipeline. The fixed ring 29 of the driven wheel assembly 3 is fixed in the middle part of the main body 1, and the movable ring 210 is slidably matched with the other end of the main body 1, the support rod 311 is rotatably matched with the support rod 412, the support rod 311 is rotatably matched with the fixed ring 29, and the support rod 41 2 is rotatably matched with the movable ring 2 10, and a driven wheel 13 is also provided on the support rod 3 11. By adjusting the spacing between the movable ring 2 10 and the fixed ring 2 9, the angle between the support rod 3 11 and the support rod 4 12 can be adjusted, so that the driven wheel 13 is further abutted against the inner wall of the pipeline. The fixed ring 1 4, the fixed ring 2 9, the movable ring 1 5 and the movable ring 2 10 are arranged in sequence on the body 1; it also includes an adjusting nut 14, the adjusting nut 14 is screwed with the body 1 and abuts against the movable ring 2 10; the movable ring 1 5 and the movable ring 2 10 are also connected by a guide rod 16; the movable ring 2 10 can be adjusted by screwing the adjusting nut 14, and the movable ring 1 5 and the movable ring 2 10 are The movable ring 10 is linked through the guide rod 16 to realize the linkage between the movable ring 1 5 and the movable ring 2 10, thereby ensuring that the driving wheel mechanism 8 and the driven wheel assembly 3 can be adjusted synchronously; if the inner wall of the pipeline is consistent front and back, the walking wheel 83 and the driven wheel 13 can use the same diameter, the outer diameter of the walking wheel 83 and the driven wheel 13 is ≥20mm, and the contact surface with the inner wall of the pipeline is a flexible material; if the inner wall of the pipeline is inconsistent front and back, the walking wheel 83 and the driven wheel 13 can use different diameters, the number of the driving wheel assembly 2 and the driven wheel assembly 3 can be more than three and are evenly distributed, thereby ensuring that the position of the main body 1 in the inner wall of the pipeline is more stable.
