Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of internal defect detection of pipelines, and particularly to a large pipeline internal defect detection robot. Background Art
[0002] As an important channel for fluid transmission, pipelines are widely used in many fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, electric power, water treatment, and heating. However, due to reasons such as long-term operation of pipelines, environmental corrosion, and process operation errors, pipelines may develop defects such as cracks, corrosion, and leakage, and in severe cases, safety accidents may even occur. Therefore, it is particularly important to regularly detect the defects of pipelines.
[0003] In the prior art, referring to the invention patent with the publication number of CN118009142A, it discloses a pipeline internal defect detection robot, which includes a robot body that walks and detects inside the pipeline, and three walking wheels adapted to the inner walls of pipelines with different diameters are installed outside the robot body. In this invention, the dirt existing on the inner wall of the pipeline is rotated and removed by the scraping unit one and the scraping unit two in the bidirectional rotation cleaning component, and the cleaning of the inner part of the pipeline is carried out simultaneously. Due to the different rotation directions of the scraping unit one and the scraping unit two, and the robot body walking in the pipeline in real time, after the rotation cleaning of the scraping unit one, the scraping unit two drives and cleans in the reverse direction to clean the area not cleaned by the scraping unit one, making the dirt removal inside the pipeline more thorough and improving the cleaning efficiency. After the inner wall surface of the pipeline is cleaned, the inner wall condition of the pipeline is detected in real time by the rotating detection component, which is convenient for detection.
[0004] Although the scraping unit one and the rotating unit two can clean the dirt, they do not collect the fallen dirt, and the fallen dirt is still likely to continue to fall into the pipeline. Especially, the dirt is likely to accumulate concentratedly at the bottom of the pipeline, so the dirt will still block the detection. Moreover, relying solely on the scraping of the scraping unit one and the rotating unit two, the cleaning effect is still limited, thus reducing the detection effect on the pipeline. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to improve the detection effect on pipelines, this application provides a large pipeline internal defect detection robot.
[0006] The large pipeline internal defect detection robot provided by this application adopts the following technical solutions: A large pipeline internal defect detection robot includes a body, a walking mechanism, a cleaning mechanism, and a detection mechanism. The walking mechanism is arranged on the body and abuts against the pipeline and is used to drive the body to move. The cleaning mechanism is used to clean the pipeline by spraying water and jetting air. The detection mechanism is used to detect the inside of the cleaned pipeline. The cleaning mechanism includes: A blocking assembly is arranged on the machine body and is used to block the flow of the water and dirt mixture towards the detection mechanism. When the machine body moves, the water and dirt mixture is pushed to move by the blocking assembly. A cleaning ring is rotatably installed on the side of the blocking assembly away from the detection mechanism. A cleaning brush is arranged on the cleaning ring and is used to clean the dirt on the pipeline. A driving assembly is used to drive the cleaning ring to rotate. A spraying assembly is used to spray water onto the cleaning brush and cooperate with the cleaning brush to clean the dirt. An air jetting assembly is used to jet air onto the inner wall of the pipeline and make the water and dirt mixture move away from the detection mechanism.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the traveling mechanism supports inside the pipeline. The driving assembly drives the cleaning ring and the cleaning brush to rotate. At the same time, the spraying assembly sprays water onto the cleaning brush to cooperate in scrubbing the dirt on the pipeline, and the air jetting assembly also starts to clean the dirt on the inner wall of the pipeline. Meanwhile, the gas can also push away the water and dirt mixture accumulated at the bottom of the pipeline. The blocking assembly is used to block the mixture from moving towards the detection mechanism side. The traveling head mechanism starts to drive the machine body to move, and the cleaning brush, the spraying assembly and the air jetting assembly continue to clean the inner wall of the pipeline. And the blocking assembly and the machine body move simultaneously to push the mixture to move, which is used to clean the inner wall of the pipeline, making the inner wall of the pipeline in a clean state. The movement of the machine body makes the detection mechanism move, so that the detection mechanism detects the inner wall of the pipeline after cleaning, improving the cleanliness of the inner wall of the pipeline, and also making the traveling mechanism more stable during movement, improving the detection effect on the pipeline.
[0008] At the same time, when the air jetting assembly and the spraying assembly jet air and spray water, they can push the mixture away from the blocking assembly, thus greatly reducing the resistance generated when the blocking assembly moves, and also reducing the risk that when the mixture accumulates more, it enters between the blocking assembly and the inner wall of the pipeline, causing wear to the blocking assembly, thereby further improving the cleaning effect on the inner wall of the pipeline. And the blocking assembly blocks the water and dirt from contacting the detection mechanism, reducing the risk of damage to the detection mechanism due to contact with water, and further improving the detection effect on the pipeline.
[0009] Optionally, the blocking assembly includes: A blocking disk is arranged on the machine body. A clamping ring is coaxially arranged on the blocking disk. A rubber ring is sleeved on the blocking disk and is provided with a clamping groove that is clamped and matched with the clamping ring. The rubber ring is pressed against the inner wall of the pipeline under the action of elastic force for sealing and cooperates with the blocking disk to block the water and dirt mixture from moving towards the detection mechanism and to push the water and dirt mixture to move.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber ring is fixedly installed on the blocking disk through the cooperation of the clamping ring and the clamping groove. The blocking disk can provide a certain strength, and the rubber ring realizes sealing. It can push the water and sewage mixture to move. At the same time, when the mixture exerts pressure on the rubber ring, the rubber ring expands, further increasing the pressure between the rubber ring and the inner wall of the pipe, improving the sealing effect, and further enhancing the detection effect on the pipe.
[0011] Optionally, the blocking disk is movably connected to the machine body through a movable component. A spherical movable groove communicating with the outside is formed on the machine body. The movable component includes: A movable ball rotatably installed on the movable groove; A connecting rod arranged on the movable ball and connected to the blocking disk.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pipe is in a bent state, although the rubber ring can also achieve a certain range of yielding, the yielding range is small and cannot meet the requirements of pipes with a large bending degree, thus reducing the detection effect on the pipe.
[0013] At the bent part of the pipe, the rubber ring will drive the blocking disk to rotate. The rotation of the blocking disk drives the connecting rod and the movable ball to rotate, enabling the position of the blocking disk to better adapt to the bent part of the pipe, improving the detection effect on the pipe. At the same time, the design of the movable ball enables the blocking disk to meet the requirements of the pipe bending in multiple directions, further enhancing the detection effect on the pipe.
[0014] Optionally, the cleaning ring is rotatably installed on the blocking disk. The blocking disk forms a water outlet cavity and an air outlet cavity respectively communicating with the spraying component and the air jetting component. A plurality of water outlet holes and a plurality of air outlet holes respectively communicating with the water outlet cavity and the air outlet cavity are evenly formed on the cleaning ring. The spraying component and the air jetting component are located on the side of the blocking disk close to the detection mechanism. The cleaning ring, the cleaning brush, the water outlet holes and the plurality of air outlet holes are all located on the side of the blocking disk away from the detection mechanism.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the spraying component and the air jetting component are located on the side of the blocking disk close to the detection mechanism, and the cleaning ring, the cleaning brush, the water outlet holes and the plurality of air outlet holes are all located on the side of the blocking disk away from the detection mechanism. Therefore, the blocking disk and the rubber ring can block the contact between the water and sewage mixture and the spraying component and the air jetting component, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the spraying component and the air jetting component by the water and sewage. At the same time, the cleaning ring drives the plurality of water outlet holes and the plurality of air outlet holes to rotate and are respectively used for spraying water and jetting air, so as to better cooperate with the cleaning brush to clean the dirt on the pipe, further improving the cleaning effect on the dirt on the pipe. Moreover, the spraying component and the air jetting component do not need to rotate, making the water spraying and air jetting processes more stable, improving the cleaning effect, and further enhancing the detection effect on the pipe.
[0016] Optionally, the driving assembly includes: A gear ring disposed on the cleaning ring; A gear rotatably mounted on the blocking disc and meshing with the gear ring; A driving member disposed on the blocking disc and used to drive the gear to rotate. The driving member is located on the side of the blocking disc close to the detection mechanism.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the driving member starts to drive the gear to rotate, and the gear rotation drives the gear ring and the cleaning ring to rotate, so as to drive the cleaning ring to rotate. At the same time, the driving member is located on the side of the blocking disc close to the detection mechanism, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the driving member caused by the water and dirt mixture, improving the stability during operation, and improving the detection effect on the pipeline.
[0018] Optionally, the spraying assembly includes: A spraying box disposed on the machine body and filled with spraying water; A pump body disposed in the spraying box; A spraying pipe disposed on the pump body and connected to the blocking disc and communicating with the water outlet cavity.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the pump body starts, so that the spraying water enters the water outlet cavity through the spraying pipe, and finally the water sprays out through the water outlet holes, so as to achieve the spraying effect.
[0020] Optionally, the air jetting assembly includes: An air pump disposed on the machine body; An air pipe disposed on the air pump and connected to the blocking disc and communicating with the air outlet cavity.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the air pump starts, the gas enters the air outlet cavity through the air pipe, and finally the gas is output through the air outlet holes for air jetting.
[0022] Optionally, a plurality of the traveling mechanisms are arranged at intervals, and each traveling mechanism includes: A leg disposed on the machine body and extending to the side close to the pipeline; A support rod disposed on the leg through an elastic component; A support wheel rotatably mounted on the support rod and pressing against the pipeline under the elastic force of the elastic component for positioning; A rotating member disposed on the support rod and used to drive the support wheel to rotate.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, a plurality of support wheels press against the pipeline under the action of the elastic component for positioning, and at the same time, the rotating member drives the support wheels to rotate, so as to realize the movement of the machine body. At the same time, the elastic component enables the support wheels to move away from the pipeline for yielding when yielding is required, especially when passing through the bending part of the pipeline, so as to realize the movement of the machine body in the pipeline in multiple states.
[0024] Optionally, the elastic component includes: A blocking ring, which is arranged on the support rod and slidably arranged on the leg; A fixing ring, which is detachably arranged on the leg, and the support rod is slidably arranged on the fixing ring; A spring, with both ends pressing against the blocking ring and the leg and pushing the supporting wheel to press against the inner wall of the pipeline for positioning.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the spring pushes the supporting wheel to press against the inner wall of the pipeline for positioning. At the same time, the spring can be replaced after removing the fixing ring, realizing the buffering and yielding of the supporting wheel.
[0026] Optionally, the detection mechanism includes: A detection disc, which is rotatably arranged on the machine body; A plurality of detection components, which are arranged on the detection disc in a circumferential array around the axis of the detection disc; A pushing component, which is used to drive the detection disc to rotate.
[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating component drives the detection disc to rotate, and the rotation of the detection disc drives the detection components to rotate, so as to realize the detection of multiple positions on the inner wall of the pipeline and improve the detection effect on the pipeline; at the same time, the inner wall of the pipeline is detected by the cooperation of multiple detection components. Therefore, the rotation angle of the detection disc and the detection accuracy are reduced, and the detection effect on the pipeline is improved.
[0028] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The positioning and movement of the machine body are realized through the traveling mechanism. The cleaning ring rotates, and water is sprayed on the cleaning brush for scrubbing. Moreover, the jet component can also blow the water and dirt mixture gathered at the bottom of the pipeline away. The blocking component is used to block the mixture from moving towards the detection mechanism side, and the blocking component and the machine body move simultaneously to push the mixture, improving the cleanliness of the inner wall of the pipeline and making the traveling mechanism more stable during movement, thus improving the detection effect on the pipeline.
[0029] 2. By pushing the mixture away from the blocking component during jetting and spraying, the resistance generated when the blocking component moves is greatly reduced, and the risk of the blocking component being worn due to the mixture piling up and entering between the blocking component and the inner wall of the pipeline is also reduced. Thereby, the cleaning effect on the inner wall of the pipeline is further improved. Moreover, the blocking component blocks the water and dirt from contacting the detection mechanism, reducing the risk of the detection mechanism being damaged due to contact with water, and further improving the detection effect on the pipeline.
[0030] 3. By driving the rubber ring and the blocking disc to rotate at the pipe bend, the blocking disc drives the movable ball to rotate, so that the position of the blocking disc better adapts to the pipe bend, improving the detection effect of the pipe. At the same time, the design of the movable ball enables the blocking disc to meet the requirements of the pipe bending in multiple directions, further improving the detection effect of the pipe.
