Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0047] The embodiment of the present application provides a pipeline walking trolley, which can solve the problem in the prior art that a complete pipeline may be spliced ​​together by multiple pipeline sections, and the diameters of the multiple pipeline sections may be different, and the existing trolley is difficult to adapt to the changes in pipeline diameter, has low applicability, and affects the detection results.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the present application provides a pipeline walking trolley, which includes:

[0049] Car body 1;

[0050] The connecting mechanism 2 includes a central connecting rod 21 and three connecting assemblies 22 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the central connecting rod 21, one end of the connecting assembly 22 is connected to the central connecting rod 21, and the distance between the other end and the central connecting rod 21 is adjustable, and the other end of one of the connecting assemblies 22 is connected to the trolley body 1;

[0051] The auxiliary walking mechanism 3 is arranged corresponding to the other two connecting components 22, and the auxiliary walking mechanism 3 is connected to the other end of the corresponding connecting component 22, and is used to abut against the inner wall of the pipeline.

[0052] When manufacturing the pipeline walking trolley, three connecting components 22 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the central connecting rod 21, one end of the connecting component 22 is connected to the central connecting rod 21, and the distance between the other end and the central connecting rod 21 is adjustable, the other end of one of the connecting components 22 is connected to the trolley body 1, and the other ends of the other two connecting components 22 are provided with auxiliary walking mechanisms 3 for abutting against the inner wall of the pipeline. Since the auxiliary walking mechanism 3 is connected to the other end of the corresponding connecting component 22, the distance between the other end of the connecting component 22 and the central connecting rod 21 is adjustable, which can be adjusted according to the diameter of the pipeline, so that the pipeline walking trolley is suitable for pipelines of various diameters, which improves the applicability and solves the problem in the prior art that a complete pipeline may be spliced ​​by multiple pipeline sections, and the diameters of the multiple pipeline sections may be different, and the existing trolley is difficult to adapt to the changes in pipeline diameter, and has low applicability and affects the detection results.

[0053] In this example, the connection component 22 may be a telescopic rod, and the length of the connection component 22 may be adjusted according to the diameter of the pipeline.

[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the connecting assembly 22 includes a first connecting rod 221 and a second connecting rod 222 that are spaced apart, and one end of the first connecting rod 221 and the second connecting rod 222 are both rotatably connected to the central connecting rod 21, and the other end is rotatably connected to the trolley body 1 or the auxiliary walking mechanism 3.

[0055] In this embodiment, the structure of the connecting component 22 is specifically described. The connecting component 22 includes a first connecting rod 221 and a second connecting rod 222 that are spaced apart. One end of the first connecting rod 221 and the second connecting rod 222 are rotatably connected to the central connecting rod 21, and the other end is rotatably connected to the trolley body 1 or the auxiliary walking mechanism 3. The first connecting rod 221, the second connecting rod 222 and the trolley body 1 or the auxiliary walking mechanism 3 form a parallelogram structure. The distance between the other end of the connecting component 22 and the central connecting rod 21 is changed by rotating the first connecting rod 221 and the second connecting rod 222. The structure is simple.

[0056] In this example, the rotational connection is in the form of a pin connection, and the rotational surface and the axis of the central connecting rod 21 are located in the same plane.

[0057] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the central connecting rod 21 can be movably arranged, and the connecting assembly 22 also includes a third connecting rod 223, one end of the third connecting rod 223 is rotatably connected to the middle of the second connecting rod 222, and the other end is rotatably connected to the movable end of the central connecting rod 21.

[0058] In this embodiment, the central connecting rod 21 can be movably arranged, and the connecting component 22 also includes a third connecting rod 223, one end of the third connecting rod 223 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the second connecting rod 222, and the other end is rotatably connected to the movable end of the central connecting rod 21. When the central connecting rod 21 moves, the third connecting rod 223 is driven to move, thereby driving the second connecting rod 222 to rotate, and the first connecting rod 221 and the second connecting rod 222 move synchronously, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the distance between the other end of the connecting component 22 and the central connecting rod 21.

[0059] In this example, the central connecting rod 21 may be a telescopic rod, and the other end of the third connecting rod 223 is rotatably connected to the telescopic end of the central connecting rod 21 .

[0060] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the central connecting rod 21 includes:

[0061] A connecting rod 211, which is rotatably connected to one end of the first connecting rod 221 and the second connecting rod 222;

The rotating rod 212 is rotationally connected to the connecting sleeve rod 211 and is relatively stationary in the axial direction. The rotating rod 212 is rotationally connected to the other end of the third connecting rod 223. When the rotating rod 212 rotates, the other end of the third connecting rod 223 moves along the axial direction of the rotating rod 212.

When the rotating rod 212 rotates, the other end of the third connecting rod 223 moves along the axial direction of the rotating rod 212, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the distance between the other end of the connecting component 22 and the central connecting rod 21.

Since the three-way connector 4 fixed on the connecting sleeve rod 211 fixes the angle between adjacent connecting components 22, when the rotating rod 212 rotates, the three-way connector 4 arranged on the rotating rod 212 moves along the rotating rod 212, driving the third connecting rod 223 to move, thereby driving the first connecting rod 221 and the second connecting rod 222 to rotate.

[0066] In this example, the three-way connector 4 fixed on the connecting sleeve rod 211 is formed integrally with the connecting sleeve rod 211. The angle between adjacent joints of the three-way connector 4 is 60°.

[0068] In this embodiment, the central connecting rod 21 also includes a driving motor, which is used to drive the rotating rod 212 to rotate forward or reverse, so as to drive the three-way connector 4 arranged on the rotating rod 212 to move in the axial direction, thereby adjusting the distance between the other end of the connecting component 22 and the central connecting rod 21, so as to facilitate adjustment according to the specific diameter of the pipeline when moving in the pipeline.
