[0068] See also Figures 1 to 9 , based on Example 1, the second connecting block 203 in the second moving wheel group is connected to a plurality of, at least two, moving wheels 205 through a telescopic assembly;

[0069] The second moving wheel group is provided with a swing device at the upper end and a follow-up swing mechanism at the lower end;

[0070] For the convenience of description, the plane where the end surface of the collar 1 is located is defined as the first plane;

[0071] Specific reference Figure 7The swing device includes an arc-shaped rack 3 fixedly connected to the collar 1, a first gear 301 is meshed on the arc-shaped rack 3, the first gear 301 is connected to the rotating rod 2, a circular groove 305 is provided on one side of the first gear 301 of the rotating rod 2, a second protrusion 303 is provided in the circular groove 305, a rotating shaft 304 is provided on the second protrusion 303, the axis of the transmission shaft 304 is perpendicular to the first plane, the rotating shaft 304 is connected to the transverse plate 10, and the transverse plate 10 is fixedly connected to the collar 1.

[0074] Directions:

[0075] When encountering an elbow connection of an oil pipeline, the device is brought close to the elbow connection of the oil pipeline, and the dual-axis linear motor 12 is started to drive the fifth connecting rod 402 to perform linear motion. The fifth connecting rod 402 performs linear motion to drive the fourth connecting rod 401 to push the ring 4 to swing around the rotating shaft 304 as the axis. The swing of the ring 4 drives the swinging rod 4 to swing. The swinging of the rotating rod 4 causes the first gear 301 to rotate in the arc-shaped rack 3. The rotation of the first gear 301 causes the rotating rod 4 to rotate, and the rotating rod 4 drives the second moving wheel group to rotate.

[0076] On the one hand, the axes of the two second moving wheel groups are far away from the oil pipeline, but under the action of gravity, the reaction result is that the moving wheel 205 of the first moving wheel group is far away from the oil pipeline;

[0077] On the other hand, the two second moving wheel groups begin to flip, so that one moving wheel 205 in each of the two second moving wheel groups passes over the elbow connection of the oil pipeline;

[0078] Then the pushing device enables the first moving wheel group to also pass over the elbow connection of the oil pipeline;

[0079] Finally, the dual-axis linear motor 12 is started in reverse to restore the device.

[0080] Embodiment 3:

[0081] See also Fig. 9 , based on Example 2, the first connecting block 2031 in the first moving wheel group is connected to multiple, at least two moving wheels 205 through a telescopic component;

[0083] Directions:

[0084] When encountering an elbow in the oil pipeline, the device is moved close to the elbow, and the dual-axis linear motor 12 is started. One of the two second moving wheel groups has a moving wheel 205 that crosses the elbow of the oil pipeline, and one of the moving wheels 205 in the first moving wheel group also crosses the elbow connection of the oil pipeline.

[0085] Then push the device so that it completely passes over the elbow connection of the oil pipeline;

[0090] During detection, the motor 9 can be started to drive the third gear 601 to rotate, the third gear 601 drives the ring gear 602 to rotate, and the ring gear 602 drives the ultrasonic detection device 604 distributed in an annular manner on the outside of the annular plate 603 to rotate to detect cracks on the outside of the oil pipeline. This structure is beneficial for uniform and stable detection of cracks on the outside of pipelines of different diameters, avoiding missed detection when detecting pipeline cracks.

[0091] After the crack detection of the pipeline is completed, the connection between the third connecting rod 306 and the rotating rod 2 is released, the bolt 8 is removed, the collar 1 and the annular plate 603 are separated from each other, and removed from the oil pipeline. After removal, in order to avoid damage to the ultrasonic detection device 604, the two collars 1 should be fixed together in time.

[0094] S2: Detect cracks: Start the motor 9 to drive the third gear 601 to rotate, so that the ultrasonic detection device 604 on the annular plate 603 rotates to detect cracks on the outside of the oil pipeline, and push the device until it hits the elbow of the oil pipeline;

[0095] S3: Going over the elbow connection: By starting the dual-axis linear motor 12, the circle formed by the three moving wheels 205 becomes larger, and the moving wheel group is flipped so that some of the moving wheels 205 go over the elbow connection. If it is impossible to go over, the diameter of the circle formed by the three moving wheels 205 can be further enlarged by adjusting the distance between the first connecting rod 201 and the second connecting rod 202. After going over, the dual-axis linear motor 12 is started in the reverse direction to reset;

[0096] S4: Recycling and preservation: After the detection is completed, the connection between the third connecting rod 306 and the rotating rod 2 is released, the bolt 8 is removed, the collar 1 and the annular plate 603 are separated from each other, and removed from the oil pipeline. After removal, in order to avoid damage to the ultrasonic detection device 604, the collar 1 and the annular plate 603 must be fixed together and placed.
