[0041] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0042] Embodiment 1:
[0043] See also Figures 1 to 7 As shown, an intelligent four-legged inspection robot for coalbed methane transmission pipelines comprises:
[0044] Pipeline body 1;
[0045] A traveling mechanism 2 is placed inside the pipeline body 1, a protective cover 3 is installed at one end of the traveling mechanism 2, an identification mechanism 4 is installed at the other end of the protective cover 3, a cleaning mechanism 5 is installed at the other end of the traveling mechanism 2, and a controller 6 is installed on the outer wall of the protective cover 3;
[0046] The identification mechanism 4 includes a mounting seat 41, a laser radar 42, a mounting plate 43, an identification camera 44, a depth camera 45 and a gas sensor 46. A plurality of laser radars 42 are provided, and the plurality of laser radars 42 are installed on one side of the outer surface of the mounting seat 41. Four mounting plates 43 are provided, and the four mounting plates 43 are installed on the other side of the outer surface of the mounting seat 41. The mounting seat 41 is installed on the protective cover 3 through the mounting plate 43. The identification camera 44 is installed at the other end of the mounting seat 41. The depth camera 45 is installed at the other end of the identification camera 44. The gas sensor 46 is installed at the top of the depth camera 45.
[0047] Depend on Figures 1 to 5It can be seen that the walking mechanism 2 includes an adjustment box 21, a limit slot 22, a positive and negative screw rod 23, an adjustment block 24, a walking frame 25 and a motor 26. There are four limit slots 22 and four walking frames 25. The four limit slots 22 are all opened on the outer surface of the adjustment box 21. The positive and negative screw rods 23 are installed between the inner walls on both sides of the adjustment box 21 through bearings. There are two adjustment blocks 24. The two adjustment blocks 24 are respectively installed on both sides of the outer surface of the positive and negative screw rods 23. The four walking frames 25 are installed between the outer surfaces of the two adjustment blocks 24. The motor 26 is installed at one end of the adjustment box 21;
[0048] The walking frame 25 includes an adjusting rod 251, a connecting frame 252, a supporting frame 253, a walking wheel 254 and a driver 255. There are two adjusting rods 251 and four connecting frames 252. The four connecting frames 252 are respectively installed on the upper and lower outer surfaces of the two adjusting rods 251 through connecting shafts. The bottom ends of the two lower connecting frames 252 are respectively installed on the top ends of the two adjusting blocks 24. The supporting frame 253 is installed on the top ends of the two upper connecting frames 252. The walking wheel 254 is installed between the inner walls on both sides of the connecting frame 252 through bearings. The driver 255 is installed on the outer wall of the supporting frame 253.
[0049] As can be seen from the above, after the entire inspection robot is placed inside the pipeline body 1, the motor 26 is started through the controller 6, and the motor 26 drives the forward and reverse screw rods 23 to rotate, thereby driving the two adjustment blocks 24 thereon to move toward the center at the same time. The adjustment block 24 moves stably under the guidance of the limit groove 22, and adjusts the distance between the two adjacent adjustment rods 251 close to the side of the adjustment box 21, thereby pushing the support frame 253 and the walking wheel 254 to expand outward, ensuring that the outer surfaces of the four walking wheels 254 are in close contact with the inner wall of the pipeline body 1. This adaptive adjustment mechanism enables the inspection robot to extend according to pipeline bodies 1 of different diameters, and then drive the walking wheels 254 to rotate through the driver 255, thereby ensuring the stable walking of the robot in various pipelines and significantly expanding its scope of application; when walking inside the pipeline body 1, the inspection robot The robot uses a gas sensor 46 to monitor the gas concentration and composition inside the pipeline body 1 in real time. At the same time, multiple laser radars 42 installed on the polygonal mounting base 41 emit laser beams and receive reflected signals in all directions to generate three-dimensional point cloud data, thereby achieving comprehensive and accurate perception of the pipeline body 1, helping to identify pipeline defects, obstacles, etc., and expanding the detection range. In addition, the recognition camera 44 takes multi-point photos of the pipeline body 1 to clearly capture the details and overall condition of the inner wall of the pipeline, avoiding blind spots in detection. Combined with the shooting of the depth camera 45 and the use of advanced image processing technology to identify the image, real-time monitoring and analysis of the status of the pipeline body 1 are achieved, further ensuring comprehensive detection of the inner wall of the pipeline body 1, and being able to promptly discover and warn of potential problems, while improving the comprehensiveness and reliability of the detection results.
[0050] Specifically, refer to Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the mounting seat 41 is configured as a polygonal structure, the laser radar 42, the recognition camera 44, the depth camera 45 and the gas sensor 46 are all electrically connected to the controller 6, the outer surface of the recognition camera 44 is provided with four cameras, and a plurality of fill lights are provided around the four cameras on the recognition camera 44; the support frame 253 is configured as a trapezoidal structure, the driver 255 and the motor 26 are both electrically connected to the controller 6, the adjustment block 24 is configured as a cross-shaped structure, and the adjustment block 24 is slidably connected to the four limit grooves 22.
[0051] As can be seen from the above, it is convenient to install multiple laser radars 42 on the mounting seat 41, so as to realize comprehensive detection of the pipeline body 1 and avoid detection blind spots. The controller 6 can receive the data collected by these devices, and process and analyze them to realize corresponding control functions. Multiple cameras provide a wider field of view and more accurate object recognition capabilities for the recognition camera 44. The fill light is used to provide lighting in an environment with insufficient light to enhance the recognition effect of the camera; the support frame 253 with a trapezoidal structure can provide stronger support and stability. The controller 6 can control the operation of the driver 255 and the motor 26. The cross shape can improve the stability of the adjustment block 24, and the sliding connection with the limit slot 22 can limit the movement range of the adjustment block 24 to ensure that it moves on a predetermined path.
[0052] Embodiment 2:
[0053] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 5 includes a dust box 51, a dust pipe 52, a dust head 53 and a cleaning brush 54. The dust box 51 is installed at the other end of the adjustment box 21, the dust pipe 52 is installed at the other end of the dust box 51 through a bearing, the dust head 53 is installed at the top of the dust pipe 52, and the cleaning brush 54 is installed between the inner walls on both sides of the dust head 53;
[0054] Electric telescopic rods 55 are installed on both sides of the bottom end of the vacuum head 53, and the bottom ends of the two electric telescopic rods 55 are installed on the vacuum tube 52. A rotating gear 56 is installed on one side of the outer surface of the vacuum tube 52. A driving motor 57 is installed at the lower part of the other end of the vacuum box 51, and an adjusting gear 58 is installed at the output end of the driving motor 57.
[0055] As can be seen from the above, when the inspection robot is inspecting inside the pipeline body 1, the following components can be started in sequence through the controller 6: first, the electric telescopic rod 55 is extended to push the dust head 53 to move, and at the same time, the folded pipe on the dust pipe 52 is unfolded to ensure that the bristles on the cleaning brush 54 are in close contact with the inner wall of the pipeline body 1; then, the drive motor 57 is started, and its rotation drives the adjustment gear 58 to rotate, and through the meshing transmission of the adjustment gear 58 and the rotating gear 56, the dust pipe 52, the electric telescopic rod 55 and the dust head 53 are driven to rotate together, so that the cleaning brush 54 rotates and effectively cleans the inner wall of the pipeline body 1, removes deposited impurities, and keeps the pipeline unobstructed; at the same time, the dust box 51 is started and generates suction, and the cleaned dust is sucked through the dust head 53 to prevent the dust from spreading in the pipeline. Subsequently, the dust is transported to the dust box 51 through the dust pipe 52 for centralized treatment. This series of operations not only avoids the reduction in transportation efficiency and safety hazards caused by the deposition of impurities, but also effectively prolongs the service life of the pipeline body 1.
[0056] Preferably, reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the driving motor 57, the electric telescopic rod 55 and the dust collection box 51 are all electrically connected to the controller 6, the rotating gear 56 is meshed with the adjusting gear 58, the dust collection tube 52 is set to a T-shaped structure, and the upper outer surface of the dust collection tube 52 is set to a folding structure.

Power can be transmitted through gear meshing, thereby driving the cleaning brush 54 to rotate and clean the inner wall of the duct body 1. The T-shaped structure facilitates the connection of the dust collection tube 52 to the dust collection box 51 and other dust collection components. The folding structure can increase the flexibility of the dust collection tube 52 and facilitate the extension and retraction adjustment of the dust collection tube 52.

[0066] It can be seen from the above that when the intelligent four-legged inspection robot conducts inspections in the coalbed methane transmission pipeline, the various units of its system work together to ensure the safe operation of the pipeline. The camera unit has a high-definition camera function, which can capture and record abnormal conditions or illegal operations of the equipment inside the pipeline. The temperature and humidity sensor unit monitors the temperature and humidity inside the pipeline in real time, and provides accurate data for evaluating the internal environmental conditions of the pipeline. The gas sensor unit detects the gas concentration and composition inside the coalbed methane transmission pipeline in real time.

In addition, the energy management unit is responsible for the robot's energy supply and management, monitoring the battery status, formulating charging strategies and optimizing energy efficiency to ensure that the robot maintains sufficient power during long-term inspections. The fault warning unit analyzes and processes the collected data to detect potential equipment failures in advance and issue warning signals, so that operators can take timely measures to avoid failures. When an emergency or failure is detected, the emergency handling unit can quickly initiate the corresponding emergency plan and take immediate measures, such as closing valves, starting the ventilation system, etc., to ensure the safe operation of the pipeline.
