AI Technical Summary
Existing crack detection devices for water conservancy project pipelines lack adaptability in sensor layout and spacing adjustment, making it difficult to take into account both the surface characteristics and deep properties of cracks. In particular, they are unable to identify hidden defects in concrete pipe microcracks or metal pipe welds, resulting in missed or misjudgment, affecting the accuracy and reliability of detection.
The casing of the detection component rotates around the main axis, driving the hollow fixed block, movable block and mounting plate fixed to the outer wall of the casing to rotate synchronously. Combined with laser displacement sensors, ultrasonic sensors and eddy current sensors, multi-dimensional feature detection is achieved to ensure that the sensor maintains a stable detection distance with the pipe wall.

Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pipeline detection, in particular to a device for detecting cracks in water conservancy project pipelines. Background Art
[0002] Crack detection in water conservancy pipelines is a key technology that uses specialized equipment to identify, locate, and evaluate cracks in the inner walls and structural layers of water supply and drainage pipelines. Its core function is to ensure the integrity of pipeline structures and prevent leaks, seepage, and even pipeline ruptures caused by cracks. It is of great significance to the utilization of water resources, urban flood control and drainage, and industrial water supply safety.
[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent with publication number CN221377912U, which provides a hydraulic pipeline crack detection device. The device adapts to different bend angles and directions within the pipeline through the cooperation between a connector and a mounting rod. This allows the detection head to detect pipelines with complex shapes, improving the head's adaptability.
[0004] However, during use, it was found that the sensor layout and spacing adjustment of the detection device rely on mechanical structure adaptation, and have poor adaptability to different pipe diameters and inner wall deformations, which can easily lead to difficulty in maintaining the detection distance of the non-contact sensor, affecting the reliability of the detection data. A single detection method is difficult to take into account both the surface characteristics and deep properties of the cracks, especially the lack of ability to identify hidden defects in microcracks in concrete pipes or welds in metal pipes, which can easily lead to missed judgments or misjudgments, affecting the accuracy of pipeline crack detection.

The rotating rod 401 is driven to rotate by the first servo motor 402, thereby driving the first gear 403 fixed on the rotating rod 401 to rotate. The first gear 403 is meshed with the circular tooth groove 405, so that the rotating sleeve 404 rotates along the outer peripheral wall of the main shaft 301.

The outer peripheral wall of one of the circular shafts 412 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the worm wheel 415; the worm wheel 415 drives the corresponding circular shaft 412 to rotate, and drives the walking wheel 411 to rotate, so that the inspection vehicle 300 can move axially along the pipeline body 100.
[0046] Before inspecting for cracks in the pipeline, the inspection vehicle 300 is placed into 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, driving the inspection vehicle 300 to move axially along the pipeline body 100 to achieve long-distance inspection coverage. The sleeve 501 of the inspection component 500 rotates around the main shaft 301, driving the hollow fixed block 502, movable block 503, and mounting plate 505 fixed to the outer circumferential wall of the sleeve 501 to rotate synchronously, allowing the laser displacement sensor 509, ultrasonic sensor 510, and eddy current sensor 511 to complete a 360-degree circumferential scan of the pipeline inner wall.
[0047] The movable block 503 slides within the hollow fixed block 502, and the calibration wheel 504 contacts the pipe wall of the pipe body 100 to feedback changes in pipe diameter. The slider 507 is driven to slide and adjust its position along the mounting plate 505 through the through slot 506 to calibrate the distance between the sensor and the pipe wall. The laser displacement sensor 509 obtains data on the surface width and deformation of the crack, the ultrasonic sensor 510 detects deep defects in the pipe wall, and the eddy current sensor 511 identifies surface or near-surface cracks in the metal pipe. The sensor data is combined to realize multi-dimensional feature detection of cracks, ensuring that the laser, ultrasonic and other sensors maintain a stable detection distance with the pipe wall, reducing missed or misjudgment, improving the accuracy of crack identification, enhancing the reliability of detection data, and improving the integrity of detection coverage.
[0048] After the fastener 202 is separated from the inspection pipe 200, the rotating sealing block 201 is rotated and opened along the inspection pipe 200. After the inspection vehicle 300 is placed into 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. The first gear 403 engages with the circular tooth groove 405, causing the rotating sleeve 404 to rotate along the outer peripheral wall of the main shaft 301; the arc block 406 swings with the rotation of the rotating sleeve 404, pushing the adjustment block 409 to slide in the limiting groove 408 of the connecting block 407, thereby changing the radial position of the running wheel 411, adapting to the inner wall of the pipeline body 100 of 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 mesh and transmit the rotation to the worm wheel 415. The worm wheel 415 drives the corresponding circular shaft 412 to rotate, and drives the travel wheel 411 to rotate, so that the inspection vehicle 300 can move axially along the pipeline body 100. The self-locking characteristics of the worm 414 and the worm wheel 415 ensure the stable parking of the travel wheel 411, improve the travelability and stability, and provide favorable conditions for pipeline crack detection.
[0050] Example 2: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7and Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, and differs from the previous embodiment in that a third servo motor 512 is installed on the outer peripheral wall of the sleeve 501, and a second gear 513 is sleeved on the output shaft of the third servo motor 512. A ring gear 514 is fixedly connected to the outer peripheral wall of the main shaft 301, and the second gear 513 is meshed with the ring gear 514; the output shaft of the third servo motor 512 drives the second gear 513 to rotate, and the engagement transmission between the second gear 513 and the ring gear 514 fixed on the outer peripheral wall of the main shaft 301 drives the sleeve 501 to perform circumferential rotation around the main shaft 301.
[0051] An electric push rod 526 is installed on the outer 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. A plurality of mounting holes 516 are provided on the corresponding mounting seat 508. The aperture size of the mounting holes 516 is not unique; the multi-sized mounting holes 516 on the mounting seat 508 are convenient for installing or replacing sensors of different models and sizes, and are adapted to the detection needs 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. The second gear 513 is meshed with the fixed gear ring 514 on the outer peripheral wall of the main shaft 301, driving the sleeve 501 to perform circumferential rotation 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, achieving detection without blind spots, 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 is extended or retracted, it pushes the movable block 503 to slide radially within the hollow fixed block 502. The movable block 503 drives the mounting plate 505 to move synchronously, 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 pipe body 100. The triangular block 515 strengthens the connection between the movable block 503 and the mounting plate 505, improving the structural rigidity during the adjustment process and reducing the sensor position deviation caused by vibration.
[0054] The multi-sized mounting holes 516 on the mounting base 508 facilitate the installation or replacement of sensors of different models and sizes, and are adapted to the detection requirements of pipes of different materials such as concrete and metal.
[0055] Example 3: Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, this embodiment is based on the previous embodiment, and is different from the previous embodiment in that a screw rod 517 is provided inside the through groove 506, and the outer peripheral walls at both ends of the screw rod 517 are rotatably connected to the mounting plate 505 respectively, and the slider 507 is threadedly connected to the screw rod 517, and a positioning plate 518 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of one end of the screw rod 517, and a rocker 519 is fixed at the edge of the outer wall of the positioning plate 518, and the outer peripheral wall of the positioning plate 518 is provided with a plurality of slots 520 in a ring array structure; through the threaded transmission of the screw rod 517 and the slider 507, the slider 507 slides in the through groove 506 along the axial direction of the screw rod 517, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the mounting seat 508, which is convenient for adjusting the distance from the pipe wall to a suitable distance according to the type of sensor.
[0056] Two moving blocks 521 are respectively provided at both ends of the positioning disk 518, and the moving block 521 is fixedly connected with an insertion rod 522, and the insertion rod 522 is engaged with the slot 520. A positioning ring 523 is sleeved on the outer peripheral wall of the moving block 521, and the outer peripheral wall of the moving block 521 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning ring 523. A separating block 524 is provided between the two moving blocks 521, and the separating 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 separating block 524, and the other end of the tension spring 525 is fixedly connected to the moving block 521; the insertion rod 522 is driven by the tension spring 525 to slide along the positioning ring 523 until the insertion rod 522 is engaged with the corresponding slot 520, locking the position of the screw rod 517 after rotation, thereby reducing the occurrence of displacement of each sensor during crack detection.
[0057] When in use, the rocker 519 is rotated to drive the positioning plate 518 and the coaxially connected screw rod 517 to rotate synchronously. Through the threaded transmission of the screw rod 517 and the slider 507, the slider 507 slides in the through groove 506 along the axis direction of the screw rod 517, thereby adjusting the position of the mounting seat 508, which is convenient for adjusting the distance between the sensor and the pipe wall to a suitable value according to the type of sensor.
[0058] When the slider 507 moves, the positioning plate 518 squeezes the insertion rod 522 to stretch the tension spring 525, and the insertion rod 522 disengages from the current slot 520. After the rocker 519 is rotated to adjust the screw rod 517 to a suitable position, the tension spring 525 drives the insertion rod 522 to slide along the positioning ring 523 until the insertion rod 522 is engaged with the corresponding slot 520, locking the position of the screw rod 517 after rotation, reducing the occurrence of displacement of each sensor during crack detection; the tension spring 525 applies tension to the moving block 521 to ensure that the insertion rod 522 is engaged with the slot 520, preventing the screw rod 517 from rotating or the slider 507 from sliding due to the vibration of the inspection vehicle 300.
[0059] Working principle:
[0060] Before inspecting for cracks in the pipeline, the inspection vehicle 300 is placed into 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, driving the inspection vehicle 300 to move axially along the pipeline body 100 to achieve long-distance inspection coverage. The sleeve 501 of the inspection component 500 rotates around the main shaft 301, driving the hollow fixed block 502, movable block 503, and mounting plate 505 fixed to the outer circumferential wall of the sleeve 501 to rotate synchronously, allowing the laser displacement sensor 509, ultrasonic sensor 510, and eddy current sensor 511 to complete a 360-degree circumferential scan of the pipeline inner wall.
[0061] The movable block 503 slides within the hollow fixed block 502, and the calibration wheel 504 contacts the pipe wall of the pipe body 100 to feedback changes in pipe diameter. The slider 507 is driven to slide and adjust its position along the mounting plate 505 through the through slot 506 to calibrate the distance between the sensor and the pipe wall. The laser displacement sensor 509 obtains data on the surface width and deformation of the crack, the ultrasonic sensor 510 detects deep defects in the pipe wall, and the eddy current sensor 511 identifies surface or near-surface cracks in the metal pipe. The sensor data is combined to realize multi-dimensional feature detection of cracks, ensuring that the laser, ultrasonic and other sensors maintain a stable detection distance with the pipe wall, reducing missed or misjudgment, improving the accuracy of crack identification, enhancing the reliability of detection data, and improving the integrity of detection coverage.
[0062] After the fastener 202 is separated from the inspection pipe 200, the rotating sealing block 201 is rotated and opened along the inspection pipe 200. After the inspection vehicle 300 is placed into 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. The first gear 403 engages with the circular tooth groove 405, causing the rotating sleeve 404 to rotate along the outer peripheral wall of the main shaft 301; the arc block 406 swings with the rotation of the rotating sleeve 404, pushing the adjustment block 409 to slide in the limiting groove 408 of the connecting block 407, thereby changing the radial position of the running wheel 411, adapting to the inner wall of the pipeline body 100 of different pipe diameters, and reducing the detection blind area;
[0063] The second servo motor 416 drives the worm 414 to rotate, causing the worm 414 to mesh and transmit the rotation to the worm wheel 415. The worm wheel 415 drives the corresponding circular shaft 412 to rotate, and drives the travel wheel 411 to rotate, so that the inspection vehicle 300 can move axially along the pipeline body 100. The self-locking characteristics of the worm 414 and the worm wheel 415 ensure the stable parking of the travel wheel 411, improve the travelability and stability, and provide favorable conditions for pipeline crack detection.
[0064] During detection, the output shaft of the third servo motor 512 drives the second gear 513 to rotate. The second gear 513 is meshed with the fixed gear ring 514 on the outer peripheral wall of the main shaft 301, driving the sleeve 501 to perform circumferential rotation 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, achieving detection without blind spots, 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 is extended or retracted, it pushes the movable block 503 to slide radially within the hollow fixed block 502. The movable block 503 drives the mounting plate 505 to move synchronously, 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 pipe body 100. The triangular block 515 strengthens the connection between the movable block 503 and the mounting plate 505, improving the structural rigidity during the adjustment process and reducing the sensor position deviation caused by vibration.
[0066] The multi-sized mounting holes 516 on the mounting base 508 facilitate the installation or replacement of sensors of different models and sizes, and are adapted to the detection requirements of pipes of different materials such as concrete and metal.
[0067] When in use, the rocker 519 is rotated to drive the positioning plate 518 and the coaxially connected screw rod 517 to rotate synchronously. Through the threaded transmission of the screw rod 517 and the slider 507, the slider 507 slides in the through groove 506 along the axis direction of the screw rod 517, thereby adjusting the position of the mounting seat 508, which is convenient for adjusting the distance between the sensor and the pipe wall to a suitable value according to the type of sensor.
[0068] When the slider 507 moves, the positioning plate 518 squeezes the insertion rod 522 to stretch the tension spring 525, and the insertion rod 522 disengages from the current slot 520. After the rocker 519 is rotated to adjust the screw rod 517 to a suitable position, the tension spring 525 drives the insertion rod 522 to slide along the positioning ring 523 until the insertion rod 522 is engaged with the corresponding slot 520, locking the position of the screw rod 517 after rotation, reducing the occurrence of displacement of each sensor during crack detection; the tension spring 525 applies tension to the moving block 521 to ensure that the insertion rod 522 is engaged with the slot 520, preventing the screw rod 517 from rotating or the slider 507 from sliding due to the vibration of the inspection vehicle 300.
[0069] The above description is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
