[0034] The following further elaborates in detail on the specific implementation manners of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. These implementation manners are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0036] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0037] In addition, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "plural" is two or more.

[0038] According to the first aspect of the present application, referring to Figures 1 to 6 , first, a pipe fitting climbing device is provided, including:

[0039] A frame structure 1, a lead screw is arranged inside the frame structure 1, and both ends of the lead screw are rotatably connected to the frame structure 1; the lead screw includes a first segment 211 and a second segment 212, and the thread directions of the first segment 211 and the second segment 212 are opposite;

[0040] The translation mechanism 2 includes a first sliding seat 3 and a second sliding seat. The first sliding seat 3 is threadedly connected to the first segment 211, and the second sliding seat is threadedly connected to the second segment 212. After the lead screw rotates, it drives the first sliding seat 3 or the second sliding seat to move. The translation mechanism 2 uses a lead screw structure to realize the movement of the first sliding seat 3 or the second sliding seat. By converting the linear displacement adjustment of the first sliding seat 3 or the second sliding seat into the circumferential displacement adjustment of the lead screw, the adjustment accuracy can be improved, and the movement of the present application in the axial direction of the pipe fitting can be accurately controlled.

[0041] It should be noted that both the first sliding seat 3 and the second sliding seat are arranged within the frame structure 1. The frame structure 1 restricts the first sliding seat 3 and the second sliding seat, so that the first sliding seat 3 and the second sliding seat can only have linear displacement and avoid rotating around the lead screw.

[0042] The clamping mechanism 42 includes a first mechanical claw arranged at the bottom of the first sliding seat 3 and a second mechanical claw arranged at the bottom of the second sliding seat. After the first mechanical claw or the second mechanical claw clamps the pipe fitting, it limits the first sliding seat 3 or the second sliding seat. Through the setting of the mechanical claw, the requirements of pipe fittings with different pipe diameters can be met. As Figure 6 shown, r represents the minimum applicable pipe diameter, and R is the maximum applicable pipe diameter. During the rotation of the lead screw, the first mechanical claw and the second mechanical claw are used to alternately open and close to complete climbing on the pipe fitting.

[0043] It should be noted that the first mechanical claw or the second mechanical claw mentioned in the present application are both prior arts, and the specific connection structure and control principle for realizing opening and closing are not within the protection scope of the present application.

[0044] Define Figure 1 the left side direction as the front, and define Figure 1 the right side direction as the rear. Since the thread directions of the first segment 211 and the second segment 212 are opposite, after the lead screw rotates in the positive direction, when the first sliding seat 3 moves backward relative to the frame structure 1, the second sliding seat moves forward relative to the frame structure 1. After the lead screw rotates in the reverse direction, when the first sliding seat 3 moves forward relative to the frame structure 1, the second sliding seat moves backward relative to the frame structure 1.

[0045] When the present application is in use, when the first mechanical claw clamps the outside of the pipe fitting, the position of the first sliding seat 3 is fixed. The rotation of the lead screw makes the frame structure 1 move forward relative to the first sliding seat 3. Therefore, the entire frame structure 1 moves forward, and the rotation of the lead screw also drives the second sliding seat to move forward on the second segment 212.

[0046] The first mechanical claw is controlled to open, the second mechanical claw is controlled to hold the pipe, the second sliding seat is fixed, and the screw is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction to move the frame structure 1 forward relative to the second sliding seat. Therefore, the frame structure 1 moves forward as a whole, and the screw rotates to drive the first sliding seat 3 to move forward on the first segment 211. Repeating the above control content can realize the automatic climbing along the axial direction of the pipe.

[0047] The present application can convert linear displacement adjustment into circumferential displacement adjustment through the setting of the translation mechanism 2 and the screw rod, thereby improving the adjustment accuracy and accurately controlling the movement of the present application in the axial direction of the pipe. Through the synergistic effect of the translation mechanism 2 and the clamping mechanism 42, the present application can be accurately controlled to automatically climb in the axial direction of the pipe, and can be accurately moved to a predetermined position according to specific needs to meet a variety of needs. Through the setting of the mechanical claw, the use requirements of different pipe diameters can be met.

[0048] In an practicable manner, a rotating mechanism 4 is disposed at the bottom of the first sliding seat 3 or the second sliding seat, and the clamping mechanism 42 is disposed at the bottom of the rotating mechanism 4 .

[0049] like Figures 3 to 6 As shown, the rotating mechanism 4 includes a driving roller 321 and an arc seat 41. The driving roller 321 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the first sliding seat 3 or the second sliding seat, and the rotating shaft of the driving roller 321 is arranged along the axial direction of the screw. The arc seat 41 is used to cover the circumference of the pipe fitting, and the outer side surface of the driving roller 321 is tangent to and meshed with the outer side surface of the arc seat 41; after the driving roller 321 rotates, the arc seat 41 is driven to rotate around the circumference of the pipe fitting. By setting the arc seat 41 sleeve, the present application is connected to the outer surface of the pipe fitting, and by rotating the driving roller 321, the arc seat 41 is driven to rotate around the circumference of the pipe fitting, which can meet the rotation requirements.

[0050] In an practicable manner, a first motor 21 is provided on the frame structure 1, one end of the screw rod is drivingly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 21, and the other end of the screw rod is rotationally connected to the frame structure 1 through a bearing fixing seat 231, and the first motor 21 is used to drive the screw rod to rotate. By controlling the speed and rotation direction of the motor, the displacement of the translation mechanism 2 is precisely controlled.

[0051] In an implementable manner, a light axis 23 is arranged inside the frame structure 1. Both ends of the light axis 23 are fixedly connected to the frame and are arranged in parallel with the lead screw. The first sliding seat 3 is inserted onto both the lead screw and the light axis 23 at the same time, and the second sliding seat is inserted onto both the lead screw and the light axis 23 at the same time. Through the arrangement of the light axis 23, the first sliding seat 3 or the second sliding seat can be guided, and the stability of the movement of the sliding seat can be improved.

[0052] In an implementable manner, the light axis 23 and the lead screw are arranged on the same plane. Through the guidance of the light axis 23, the sliding seat only undergoes linear movement to ensure the stability of the sliding seat during the movement process.

[0053] In an implementable manner, the rotating mechanism 4 includes a second motor 322. The second motor 322 is in transmission connection with the driving roller 321 and is used to control the rotation of the driving roller 321, so that the arc-shaped seat 41 can be rotated around the outer wall of the pipe fitting to a predetermined angle.

[0054] In an implementable manner, the first sliding seat 3 or the second sliding seat is a rectangular frame with upper and lower openings. The rectangular frame includes four side walls 31. Two side walls 31 arranged in the axial direction of the lead screw extend downward and are configured as connecting plates.

[0055] As Figures 3 to 5 shown, the second motor 322 is arranged outside the connecting plate. The driving roller 321 is rotatably connected to the inner sides of the two connecting plates. A driving gear 32 and two driven gears 323 are arranged outside the connecting plate. The rotating shaft of the driving gear 32 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 322. The two driven gears 323 are respectively arranged on both sides of the driving gear 32 and are in meshing connection with the driving gear 32. The rotating shafts of the driven gears 323 extend into the connecting plate and are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the driving roller 321.

[0056] When the second motor 322 drives the driving gear 32 to rotate clockwise, the driven gears 323 rotate counterclockwise, driving the driving roller 321 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby controlling the arc-shaped seat 41 to rotate clockwise.

[0057] In an implementable manner, a support roller 33 is arranged below the two driven gears 323. Both ends of the support roller 33 are rotatably connected to the connecting plate. The support roller 33 is tangent to the inner arc surface of the arc-shaped seat 41 and is used to support the arc-shaped seat 41 and assist the arc-shaped seat 41 to rotate. Through the arrangement of the support roller 33, the stability of the arc-shaped seat 41 during the rotation process is ensured.

[0058] In an operative manner, a first toothed ring is disposed on the outer side of the driving roller 321 , and a second toothed ring is disposed on the outer side of the arc seat 41 . After the first toothed ring and the second toothed ring are meshed and connected, the driving roller 321 controls the arc seat 41 to rotate.

[0059] It should be noted that the first gear ring or the second gear is coaxially arranged in two circles to improve the stability of the rotating mechanism 4 during the transmission process.

[0060] In one practicable manner, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the frame structure 1 includes two first strip plates 11 and two second strip plates 12, which are arranged alternately and connected end to end to form the frame structure 1. A connector 13 is provided at the connection between the first strip plate 11 and the second strip plate 12, and the connection between the first strip plate 11 and the second strip plate 12 is fixed by the connector 13.

[0062] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the middle part of the first strip plate 11 is hinged by a movable hinge 14, the middle part of the screw rod is hinged to the first segment 211 and the second segment 212 by a universal connector 22, and the middle part of the optical axis 23 is also hinged by the universal connector 22. By setting the folding rod structure, the frame structure 1 can be adjusted to be freely bent from the middle, so that the application can climb to the bending part of the pipe fitting to adapt to pipe fittings with different bending angles, thereby improving the scope of use of the application.

[0063] In one feasible manner, a pulley group is provided on the inner side of the first mechanical claw or the second mechanical claw, which contacts the key outer wall through the pulley group, so as to assist the rotating mechanism 4 to rotate around the pipe more smoothly and avoid damage to the outer surface of the pipe; at the same time, when the first mechanical claw or the second mechanical claw is in a clamping state, the axial displacement of the first mechanical claw or the second mechanical claw is limited.
