Description

Technical Field

[0002] Long pipelines are widely used in many key industrial fields such as petroleum, natural gas, and chemicals. Their safety and integrity are key factors to ensure safe, stable, and efficient production operations. Traditional pipeline inspections rely on manual inspections, which expose many drawbacks when facing long-distance pipelines. Manual inspections are extremely inefficient, requiring a lot of manpower and time costs, and are difficult to meet the large-scale, high-efficiency production needs of modern industry; moreover, manual inspections are difficult to achieve real-time monitoring of pipelines, and are unable to promptly detect sudden safety hazards during pipeline operation, which can easily lead to serious accidents. In addition, long pipelines have complex structures and are usually welded together from multiple sections of pipelines, and holes are opened at different locations according to actual usage requirements. These factors have increased the difficulty of inspections.

At the same time, the detection accuracy and degree of automation are low, making it difficult to accurately locate the welds, holes and tiny defects of the pipeline, and it is difficult to meet the modern industry's strict requirements for efficient, accurate and comprehensive pipeline detection.

[0039] Combined with Fig. 9 , Attachment Fig.12 , Attachment Fig.13 , Attachment Fig.14 and attached Fig.15 As shown, the moving mechanism 84 includes an outer support rod 1 841 and an outer support rod 2 842, a connecting rod 843 is hinged between the outer support rod 1 841 and the outer support rod 2 842, rollers 845 are hinged at the outer ends of the outer support rod 1 841 and the outer support rod 2 842, a driving wheel 846 is rotatably provided at the inner end of the outer support rod 1 841, and the roller 845 and the driving wheel 846 are matched through a transmission structure, and the transmission structure includes a chain 847, and the roller 845 and the driving wheel 846 are both provided with a coaxially connected sprocket, the chain 847 and the sprocket are matched for transmission, and the driving mechanism 83 and the driving wheel 846 are matched for transmission, and the front end of the inner expansion platform 74 is provided with two Angle rods 742, the moving mechanism 84 is located in the gap between the angle rods 742, the driving mechanism 83 includes a second motor 831 and a transmission platform 833, the inner ends of the outer support rod 1 841 and the second outer support rod 842 are hingedly arranged on the outside of the transmission platform 833, the transmission platform 833 moves axially in the limiting slide groove 812 on the inner side of the shell 81, and a rotating column 834 is rotatably arranged in the transmission platform 833, a spline shaft 832 is arranged at the output end of the second motor 831, a spline groove 835 matching with the spline shaft 832 is arranged at the rear end of the rotating column 834, a worm 836 is arranged at the end of the rotating column 834, and a tooth groove matching with the worm 836 is arranged on the driving wheel 846.

[0040] Working principles of the driving mechanism 83 and the moving mechanism 84: in the initial position, the moving mechanism 84 is hidden in the gap between the angle rods 742, the outer support rod 1 841 and the outer support rod 2 842 are connected to the hinge point of the transmission platform 833, and the connecting rod 843 is parallel to the axis, and the moving mechanism 84 is unfolded as the inner expansion platform 74 moves. When moving, the motor 2 831 drives the spline shaft 832 to rotate, and the spline shaft 832 cooperates with the spline groove 835 to make the rotating column 834 rotate in the transmission platform 833, and the worm disc 836 at the end of the rotating column 834 cooperates with the driving wheel 846 to make the driving wheel 846 rotate, and the roller 845 is driven to rotate through the transmission structure, so that the moving mechanism 84 can move in the pipeline.

[0041] Combined with Fig.12 , Attachment Fig.13 and attached Fig.17 As shown, the end of the shell 81 is provided with a connecting tube platform 813, and a limiting mechanism 85 is provided at the connecting tube platform 813. The limiting mechanism 85 includes a limiting column 851, and a positioning groove platform 815 is provided on the outer side of the connecting tube platform 813. The limiting column 851 slides axially in the positioning groove platform 815, and a spring 8512 connected to the positioning groove platform 815 is provided at the rear side of the limiting column 851. A transmission rod 844 is radially slidably provided on the positioning groove platform 815, and the end of the transmission rod 844 is hinged to the outer support rod 841, and a limiting plug-in platform 8441 is provided at the rear side of the transmission rod 844. The front side of the limiting column 851 is provided with a plug-in mating with the limiting plug-in platform 8441. A limit slot 8511 is provided, a plug column 8442 is provided at the front end of the transmission rod 844, a linkage platform 743 is provided on the inner expansion platform 74, the plug column 8442 is plugged into the groove at the end of the linkage platform 743, a release cylinder 852 is slidably provided in the connecting cylinder platform 813, a spring three 8522 connected to the connecting cylinder platform 813 is provided on the rear side of the release cylinder 852, a ring platform 8521 is provided at the front end of the release cylinder 852, the ring platform 8521 is in contact with the bottom of the limit column 851, a fixing rod 733 is provided at the axis of the turntable 73, and the end of the fixing rod 733 passes through the through hole at the end of the connecting cylinder platform 813 and is limited to the inner side of the release cylinder 852.

[0042] Working principle of the limiting mechanism 85: The limiting mechanism 85 is to facilitate the unfolding of the moving mechanism 84 and the fixing of the moving mechanism 84 after unfolding. In the initial position, the fixing rod 733 presses the release cylinder 852 to compress the spring three 8522. The release cylinder 852 moves the plurality of limiting columns 851 away from the transmission rod 844 through the ring platform 8521, compresses the spring two 8512, separates the limiting inserting platform 8441 from the limiting slot 8511, and releases the transmission rod 844 from the limiting column 851. At this time, the plug post 8442 is inserted into the groove at the end of the linkage platform 743. When the inner expansion platform 74 moves, it moves the transmission rod 844 radially. Since the length of the outer support rod 1 841 remains unchanged, when the transmission rod 844 moves the outer support rod 1 841 upward, the other end of the outer support rod 1 841 moves axially with the transmission platform 833 in the limiting slide groove 812, and the outer support rod 2 842 moves synchronously with the outer support rod 1 841 until the inner expansion platform 74 contacts the inner wall of the pipe, and at this time, the roller 845 also sticks to the inner wall of the pipe. When the mobile detector 8 moves, the fixed rod 733 moves backward relative to the mobile detector 8, and the release tube 852 is reset by the spring three 8522. The limiting column 851 is reset under the push of the spring two 8512, so that the limiting plug 8441 is reinserted into the limiting slot 8511. When the mobile detector 8 continues to move, the plug 8442 disengages from the end groove of the linkage table 743. At this time, due to the limiting of the limiting plug 8441 and the limiting slot 8511, the transmission rod 844 is fixed on the positioning slot 815, thereby fixing the positions of the outer support rod one 841 and the outer support rod two 842, preventing the moving mechanism 84 from being retracted when the mobile detector 8 moves in the pipeline.

[0043] Combined with Figure 8 , Attachment Fig.10 , Attachment Fig.16 , Attachment Fig.17 and attached Fig.18 As shown, the internal detection mechanism 6 also includes a recovery mechanism 9, which includes a motor 3 91, a pulley 92 and a guide tube 94. The pulley 92 is rotatably arranged inside the rotating arm 24, and the guide tube 94 is fixed inside the rotating arm 24. A pull rope 95 is wound around the pulley 92. A groove wheel 2 93 is provided on one side of the pulley 92, and a groove wheel 1 911 is provided at the output end of the motor 3 91. The groove wheel 1 911 cooperates with the groove wheel 2 93 through a belt transmission. A release rod 816 is slidably provided in the connecting cylinder platform 813, and a rack 1 817 is provided on the release rod 816. A gear 2 818 meshing with the rack 1 817 is rotatably provided in the connecting cylinder platform 813, and a rack 2 8523 meshing with the gear 2 818 is provided at one end of the release cylinder 852. The end of the pull rope 95 passes through the guide tube 94 and the axial through hole of the fixed rod 733 on the turntable 73, and is rotatably connected to the release rod 816.

[0044] Working principle of recovery mechanism 9: motor three 91 drives groove wheel one 911 to rotate, groove wheel one 911 cooperates with groove wheel two 93 through belt transmission to drive wire wheel 92 to rotate, thereby performing wire laying and wire winding operations. When mobile detector 8 moves inside the long pipe, pull rope 95 is kept loose. When the movement of mobile detector 8 is blocked, pull rope 95 is tightened, and mobile detector 8 maintains the tendency to move forward. At this time, pull rope 95 drives release rod 816 to move, and gear two 818 is respectively meshed with rack one 817 and rack two 8523 to move release cylinder 852, thereby actively releasing the limiting function of transmission rod 844 and limiting column 851, so that mobile mechanism 84 can be folded. After stopping driving mechanism 83, mobile detector 8 is pulled back by recovery mechanism 9.

[0045] Combined with Figure 1 , Attachment Figure 4 , Attachment Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 As shown, the standby bracket 5 includes a plurality of driving frames 51 and a supporting frame 52. The driving frame 51 is provided with a plurality of driving rollers 511 for driving the long pipe to rotate. The supporting frame 52 is provided with a plurality of curvature detectors 53. The curvature detector 53 includes a base 531. Two movable frames 532 are symmetrically hingedly provided on the base 531. A stop 5313 for limiting the movable frame 532 is provided on the base 531. Rollers 533 are rotatably provided on the movable frame 532. A spring 1 534 connected to the base 531 is provided on the outer side of the movable frame 532. A displacement sensor 5311 for detecting the rotation angle of the movable frame 532 is provided on the base 531. A detection surface 1 5312 is provided on the displacement sensor 5311. A detection surface 2 5321 is provided on the inner side of the movable frame 532. Capacitive sensing structures are provided inside the detection surface 1 5312 and the detection surface 2 5321. The detection surface 1 5312 and the detection surface 2 5321 intersect.

[0046] Working principle of the standby bracket 5: the internal power system of the driving frame 51 rotates the driving roller 511, thereby rotating the long pipe. During the rotation of the long pipe, the curvature detector 53 on the supporting frame 52, the roller 533 is pushed by the spring 1 534 to fit the surface of the long pipe. When the long pipe is bent, the curved section of the pipe rotates, which will make the movable frame 532 move. At this time, the area of ​​the intersection of the detection surface 1 5312 and the detection surface 2 5321 changes, thereby obtaining the capacitance change value, thereby judging the curvature of the long pipe.

[0047] In the specific implementation of the present invention, the long pipe is placed on the waiting bracket 5, and the curvature of the long pipe is detected by rotation. Then, the clamping mechanism 1 2 and the clamping mechanism 2 3 are moved, and the end of the long pipe is clamped by the conical platform 31 and the internal detection mechanism 6. The inner diameter of the pipe is measured by the internal expansion support mechanism 7 of the internal detection mechanism 6 and the port of the long pipe is fixed. Then, the mobile detector 8 moves inside the long pipe, and the photos of the inside of the pipe are taken by the smart camera 82 and uploaded to the processing center. The smart camera 82 has a built-in algorithm that can identify welds, hole positions and defect points, and can determine the locations of welds, hole positions and defect points according to the moving distance. The mark is calibrated in the background pipeline data, and then the mobile detector 8 is reset to the inside of the inner expansion support mechanism 7. The clamping mechanism 1 2 and the clamping mechanism 2 3 release the long pipe. According to the coordinates of the weld, hole position and defect point, the waiting bracket 5 rotates the long pipe to a suitable angle. Then the clamping mechanism 1 2 and the clamping mechanism 2 3 re-clamp the long pipe and place it on the bracket 14. The external detection mechanism 4 scans the long pipe to obtain the coordinates of the hole position of the long pipe and detects the quality of the weld. The detection process of the long pipe on the bracket 14 by the external detection mechanism 4 is synchronized with the detection process of the long pipe on the waiting bracket 5 by the mobile detector 8.

[0048] The present invention and its embodiments are described above, which is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if ordinary technicians in the field are inspired by it and do not deviate from the purpose of the invention, they can creatively design a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution, which should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
