[0043] The traveling assembly 400 includes a rotating rod 401. The rotating rod 401 is located inside the main shaft 301. The outer peripheral wall of the rotating rod 401 is rotatably connected to the main shaft 301. A first servo motor 402 is installed on the side wall of one end of the main shaft 301. The output shaft of the first servo motor 402 is coaxially connected to the rotating rod 401. Two first gears 403 are fixedly provided on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating rod 401. Two rotating sleeves 404 are rotatably connected to the outer peripheral wall of the main shaft 301. A circular tooth groove 405 is formed in the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 404. The upper ends of the first gears 403 are meshed with the circular tooth groove 405. A plurality of arc-shaped blocks 406 are rotatably connected to the rotating sleeve 404 in an annular array structure. By driving the rotating rod 401 to rotate through the first servo motor 402, the first gears 403 fixedly provided on the rotating rod 401 are driven to rotate. Through the meshing of the first gears 403 with the circular tooth groove 405, the rotating sleeve 404 is rotated along the outer peripheral wall of the main shaft 301.

[0044] A plurality of connecting blocks 407 are respectively fixedly provided on the outer peripheral walls of both ends of the main shaft 301. The connecting blocks 407 are arranged in an annular array structure. A limiting groove 408 is formed in the connecting block 407. An adjusting block 409 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 408. One end of the arc-shaped block 406 away from the rotating sleeve 404 is rotatably connected to a cylinder 413.

The outer peripheral walls of both ends of the round shaft 412 are respectively rotatably connected to the two supporting blocks 410. The arc-shaped block 406 swings as the rotating sleeve 404 rotates, pushing the adjusting block 409 to slide in the limiting groove 408 of the connecting block 407, thereby changing the radial position of the traveling wheel 411, adapting to the inner walls of the pipeline body 100 with different pipe diameters, and reducing the detection blind area.

[0045] A second servo motor 416 is installed on one of the supporting blocks 410. A worm 414 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the second servo motor 416.

The worm gear 415 drives the corresponding round shaft 412 to rotate, driving the traveling wheel 411 to rotate, and realizing the axial movement of the inspection vehicle 300 along the pipeline body 100.

[0046] Before detecting the pipeline crack, the inspection vehicle 300 is placed inside the pipeline body 100 through the inspection pipe 200. The walking components 400 at both ends of the main shaft 301 of the inspection vehicle 300 are supported on the inner wall of the pipeline body 100, and the inspection vehicle 300 is driven to move axially along the pipeline body 100 to achieve long-distance detection coverage. The sleeve 501 of the detection component 500 rotates around the main shaft 301, driving the hollow fixed block 502, the movable block 503 and the mounting plate 505 fixed on the outer peripheral wall of the sleeve 501 to rotate synchronously, so that the laser displacement sensor 509, the ultrasonic sensor 510 and the eddy current sensor 511 complete a 360° circumferential scan of the inner wall of the pipeline.

[0047] The movable block 503 slides inside the hollow fixed block 502, contacts the pipe wall of the pipeline body 100 through the calibration wheel 504 to feedback the change of the pipe diameter, and drives the slider 507 to slide along the mounting plate 505 through the through groove 506 to adjust the position, realizing the calibration of the distance between the sensor and the pipe wall. The laser displacement sensor 509 obtains the surface width and deformation data of the crack, the ultrasonic sensor 510 detects the deep defects of the pipe wall, and the eddy current sensor 511 identifies the cracks on the surface or near the surface of the metal pipeline. The combination of sensor data realizes the multi-dimensional feature detection of the crack. Ensuring a stable detection distance between sensors such as lasers and ultrasonic waves and the pipe wall reduces missed or misjudged cases, improves the accuracy of crack identification, enhances the reliability of detection data, and improves the integrity of detection coverage.

[0048] After separating from the inspection pipe 200 through the rotating fastener 202, the rotating seal block 201 is rotated along the inspection pipe 200 to open. After the inspection vehicle 300 is placed inside the pipeline body 100 through the inspection pipe 200, the first servo motor 402 drives the rotating rod 401 to rotate, driving the first gear 403 fixed on the rotating rod 401 to rotate. Through the meshing of the first gear 403 and the circular tooth groove 405, the rotating sleeve 404 rotates along the outer peripheral wall of the main shaft 301. The arc-shaped block 406 swings as the rotating sleeve 404 rotates, pushing the adjusting block 409 to slide in the limiting groove 408 of the connecting block 407, thereby changing the radial position of the walking wheel 411, adapting to the inner wall of the pipeline body 100 with different pipe diameters, and reducing the detection blind area.

[0049] The second servo motor 416 drives the worm 414 to rotate, causing the worm 414 to drive the worm gear 415 to rotate through meshing. The worm gear 415 drives the corresponding round shaft 412 to rotate, driving the walking wheel 411 to rotate, realizing the axial movement of the inspection vehicle 300 along the pipeline body 100. The self-locking characteristics of the worm 414 and the worm gear 415 ensure the stable docking of the walking wheel 411, improve the passing performance and stability of walking, and provide favorable conditions for pipeline crack detection.

[0050] Embodiment 2: As Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7and Figure 8 As shown in Figure 8 , this embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The difference from the previous embodiment is that a third servo motor 512 is installed on the outer peripheral wall of the sleeve 501. A second gear 513 is sleeved on the output shaft of the third servo motor 512. A toothed ring 514 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the main shaft 301. The second gear 513 is meshed with the toothed ring 514. The output shaft of the third servo motor 512 drives the second gear 513 to rotate. Through the meshing transmission between the second gear 513 and the toothed ring 514 fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the main shaft 301, the sleeve 501 is driven to rotate circumferentially around the main shaft 301.

[0051] An electric push rod 526 is installed on the outer peripheral wall of the hollow fixed block 502. The piston rod of the electric push rod 526 is fixedly connected to the movable block 503. A plurality of triangular blocks 515 are fixedly connected between the movable block 503 and the mounting plate 505. Corresponding mounting holes 516 are formed on the mounting seat 508. The aperture sizes of the mounting holes 516 are not unique. The multi-size mounting holes 516 on the mounting seat 508 facilitate the installation or replacement of sensors of different models and sizes, and adapt to the detection requirements of pipes of different materials such as concrete and metal.

[0052] During detection, the output shaft of the third servo motor 512 drives the second gear 513 to rotate. Through the meshing transmission between the second gear 513 and the toothed ring 514 fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the main shaft 301, the sleeve 501 is driven to rotate circumferentially around the main shaft 301. When the sleeve 501 rotates, it drives the hollow fixed block 502, the movable block 503 and the mounting plate 505 to rotate synchronously, so that the laser displacement sensor 509, the ultrasonic sensor 510 and the eddy current sensor 511 complete a 360° full circumferential scan of the inner wall of the pipeline, realizing blind area-free detection, ensuring that the sensors scan the inner wall of the pipeline body 100 at a stable speed, and improving the accuracy of crack detection.

[0053] When the piston rod of the electric push rod 526 expands and contracts, it pushes the movable block 503 to slide radially in the hollow fixed block 502, and drives the mounting plate 505 to move synchronously through the movable block 503, thereby adjusting the distance between the laser displacement sensor 509, the ultrasonic sensor 510, the eddy current sensor 511 and the inner wall of the pipeline body 100. The triangular blocks 515 strengthen the connection between the movable block 503 and the mounting plate 505, improve the structural stiffness during the adjustment process, and reduce the position deviation of the sensors caused by vibration.

[0054] The multi-size mounting holes 516 on the mounting seat 508 facilitate the installation or replacement of sensors of different models and sizes, and adapt to the detection requirements of pipes of different materials such as concrete and metal.

[0055] Embodiment 3: As Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown in the figure, this embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The difference from the previous embodiment is that a lead screw 517 is provided inside the through groove 506. The outer peripheral walls of both ends of the lead screw 517 are respectively rotatably connected to the mounting plate 505. The slider 507 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 517. A positioning disk 518 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of one end of the lead screw 517. A rocker 519 is fixedly provided at the outer edge of the outer wall of the positioning disk 518. A plurality of card slots 520 are formed in an annular array structure on the outer peripheral wall of the positioning disk 518. Through the threaded transmission between the lead screw 517 and the slider 507, the slider 507 slides in the through groove 506 along the axis direction of the lead screw 517, realizing the position adjustment of the mounting seat 508, and facilitating the adjustment of the appropriate distance from the pipe wall according to the type of sensor.

[0056] Two moving blocks 521 are respectively provided at both ends of the positioning disk 518. A plug rod 522 is fixedly connected to the moving block 521. The plug rod 522 is in snap-fit connection with the card slot 520. A positioning ring 523 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the moving block 521. The outer peripheral wall of the moving block 521 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning ring 523. A partition block 524 is provided between the two moving blocks 521. The partition block 524 and the positioning ring 523 are respectively fixedly connected to the mounting plate 505. Two tension springs 525 are respectively fixedly connected to the outer wall of the partition block 524. The other end of the tension spring 525 is fixedly connected to the moving block 521. By driving the plug rod 522 to slide along the positioning ring 523 through the tension spring 525 until the plug rod 522 is in snap-fit connection with the corresponding card slot 520, the position after the rotation of the lead screw 517 is locked, reducing the occurrence of displacement of each sensor during crack detection.

[0057] During use, rotate the rocker 519 to drive the positioning disk 518 and the coaxially connected lead screw 517 to rotate synchronously. Through the threaded transmission between the lead screw 517 and the slider 507, the slider 507 slides in the through groove 506 along the axis direction of the lead screw 517, realizing the position adjustment of the mounting seat 508, and facilitating the adjustment of the appropriate distance from the pipe wall according to the type of sensor;

[0058] When the slider 507 moves, the plug rod 522 is squeezed by the positioning disk 518 to stretch the tension spring 525, and the plug rod 522 disengages from the current card slot 520. After rotating the rocker 519 to adjust the lead screw 517 to the appropriate position, drive the plug rod 522 to slide along the positioning ring 523 through the tension spring 525 until the plug rod 522 is in snap-fit connection with the corresponding card slot 520, locking the position after the rotation of the lead screw 517, reducing the occurrence of displacement of each sensor during crack detection; the tension spring 525 exerts a pulling force on the moving block 521 to ensure that the plug rod 522 is in snap-fit connection with the card slot 520, preventing the lead screw 517 from rotating self or the slider 507 from sliding due to the vibration of the detection vehicle 300 when walking.

Both ends of the main shaft 301 of the inspection vehicle 300 are supported by the traveling components 400 on the inner wall of the pipeline body 100. The inspection vehicle 300 is driven to move axially along the pipeline body 100 to achieve long-distance detection coverage. The sleeve 501 of the detection component 500 rotates around the main shaft 301, driving the hollow fixed block 502, the movable block 503 and the mounting plate 505 fixed on the outer peripheral wall of the sleeve 501 to rotate synchronously, so that the laser displacement sensor 509, the ultrasonic sensor 510 and the eddy current sensor 511 complete a 360° circumferential scan of the inner wall of the pipeline.

[0061] The movable block 503 slides inside the hollow fixed block 502, contacts the pipe wall of the pipeline body 100 through the calibration wheel 504 to feedback the change of the pipe diameter, drives the slider 507 to slide along the mounting plate 505 through the through groove 506 to adjust the position, realizes the calibration of the distance between the sensor and the pipe wall, the laser displacement sensor 509 obtains the surface width and deformation data of the crack, the ultrasonic sensor 510 detects the deep defects of the pipe wall, and the eddy current sensor 511 identifies the cracks on the surface or near the surface of the metal pipeline. The combination of sensor data realizes the multi-dimensional feature detection of the crack; ensuring that sensors such as lasers and ultrasounds maintain a stable detection distance from the pipe wall, reducing missed or misjudged cases, improving the accuracy of crack identification, enhancing the reliability of detection data, and improving the integrity of detection coverage.

[0062] After being separated from the inspection pipe 200 through the rotary fastener 202, the sealing block 201 is rotated along the inspection pipe 200 to open. After the inspection vehicle 300 is placed inside the pipeline body 100 through the inspection pipe 200, the first servo motor 402 drives the rotating rod 401 to rotate, driving the first gear 403 fixed on the rotating rod 401 to rotate. Through the meshing of the first gear 403 with the circular tooth groove 405, the rotating sleeve 404 rotates along the outer peripheral wall of the main shaft 301; the arc-shaped block 406 swings as the rotating sleeve 404 rotates, pushing the adjusting block 409 to slide in the limiting groove 408 of the connecting block 407, thereby changing the radial position of the traveling wheel 411, adapting to the inner wall of the pipeline body 100 with different pipe diameters, and reducing the detection blind area.

[0063] The second servo motor 416 drives the worm 414 to rotate, so that the worm 414 is meshed and transmitted to the worm gear 415 to rotate. The worm gear 415 drives the corresponding round shaft 412 to rotate, driving the traveling wheel 411 to rotate, realizing the axial movement of the inspection vehicle 300 along the pipeline body 100. The self-locking characteristics of the worm 414 and the worm gear 415 ensure the stable docking of the traveling wheel 411, improve the passing performance and stability of the travel, and provide favorable conditions for the detection of pipeline cracks.

[0064] During detection, the output shaft of the third servo motor 512 drives the second gear 513 to rotate. Through the meshing transmission between the second gear 513 and the fixed gear ring 514 on the outer peripheral wall of the main shaft 301, the sleeve 501 is driven to rotate circumferentially around the main shaft 301. When the sleeve 501 rotates, it drives the hollow fixed block 502, the movable block 503 and the mounting plate 505 to rotate synchronously, so that the laser displacement sensor 509, the ultrasonic sensor 510 and the eddy current sensor 511 complete a 360° full circumferential scan of the inner wall of the pipeline, realizing blind area-free detection, ensuring that the sensors scan the inner wall of the pipeline body 100 at a stable speed, and improving the accuracy of crack detection.

[0065] When the piston rod of the electric push rod 526 expands and contracts, it pushes the movable block 503 to slide radially in the hollow fixed block 502. The movable block 503 drives the mounting plate 505 to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the distances between the laser displacement sensor 509, the ultrasonic sensor 510, the eddy current sensor 511 and the inner wall of the pipeline body 100. The triangular block 515 strengthens the connection between the movable block 503 and the mounting plate 505, improves the structural stiffness during the adjustment process, and reduces the displacement of the sensor position caused by vibration.

[0066] The multi-size mounting holes 516 on the mounting seat 508 facilitate the installation or replacement of sensors of different models and sizes, and adapt to the detection requirements of pipelines of different materials such as concrete and metal.

[0067] During use, rotate the rocker 519, which drives the positioning disk 518 and the coaxially connected lead screw 517 to rotate synchronously. Through the threaded transmission between the lead screw 517 and the slider 507, the slider 507 slides along the axis direction of the lead screw 517 in the through groove 506, realizing the position adjustment of the mounting seat 508, and facilitating the adjustment of the appropriate distance from the pipe wall according to the type of sensor.

[0068] When the slider 507 moves, the plug rod 522 is squeezed by the positioning disk 518, causing the tension spring 525 to be stretched. The plug rod 522 disengages from the current card slot 520. After rotating the rocker 519 to adjust the lead screw 517 to the appropriate position, the plug rod 522 is driven by the tension spring 525 to slide along the positioning ring 523 until the plug rod 522 is engaged with the corresponding card slot 520, locking the position of the lead screw 517 after rotation, and reducing the displacement of each sensor during crack detection. The tension spring 525 exerts a pulling force on the moving block 521 to ensure that the plug rod 522 is engaged with the card slot 520, preventing the lead screw 517 from rotating or the slider 507 from sliding due to the vibration of the detection vehicle 300 during walking.

[0069] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
