Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of underwater robot technology, specifically to a high-precision robot for detecting cracks in hydraulic and hydropower structures. Background Technology
[0002] The crack detection robot for hydropower structures is a specialized inspection device developed specifically for hydropower projects. It effectively solves the problems of high labor intensity, high risk, and low efficiency associated with traditional manual inspection. These robots are typically equipped with high-precision cameras, sensors, and intelligent algorithms. Utilizing technologies such as image recognition and ultrasonic detection, they accurately identify and measure surface and internal cracks in hydropower structures, such as water diversion tunnels and pipelines, which are difficult to observe from the outside. Some robots have climbing and crawling capabilities, adapting to the complex surfaces of different building structures; others can even dive underwater to inspect cracks in underwater structures. The detection data is transmitted to a backend system in real time, where it is analyzed and processed to generate detailed reports. This provides strong support for safety assessments and maintenance decisions for hydropower structures, significantly improving the accuracy, efficiency, and safety of crack detection in hydropower projects.
[0003] CN118479017A describes an underwater robot for detecting and repairing cracks in marine structures. It uses a flaw detection camera and sonar, along with a flushing pump and a negative pressure pump for cleaning, to detect cracks in underwater structures. During detection, the flushing pump washes the surface of the structure. However, the opposing forces generated during flushing cause the robot to shake, leading to decreased stability, blurred images, and displacement of the detection position, affecting the imaging of the flaw detection camera. Furthermore, although the wastewater generated during flushing can be pumped away from the detection area of the flaw detection camera by the negative pressure pump, the distance between the negative pressure pump and the flushing location makes it difficult to quickly and effectively remove the wastewater. Summary of the Invention

[0043] The inner wall of the isolation cover 515 has a circular hole, and the hollow shaft 59 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the circular hole. The powerful magnetic ring 516 is magnetically connected to the drive ring 520. With the cooperation of the hollow shaft 59, sprocket 1 510, sprocket 2 511 and chain 1 512, the gear 2 513 can be driven to rotate when the servo motor 56 is working, so as to ensure that the gear 2 513 can cooperate with the chain 2 514 and the gear 3 518 to drive the powerful magnetic ring 516 to move synchronously with the mounting ring 52.

The stabilizing frame 72 is fixedly connected to the surface of the drain pipe 612. A Y-shaped frame 73 is fixedly connected to the surface of the constraint frame 71. A groove is opened on the side surface of the Y-shaped frame 73. A ball bearing 74 is installed on the inner wall of the groove of the Y-shaped frame 73. A cover plate 75 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the Y-shaped frame 73. The cover plate 75 abuts against the surface of the ball bearing 74. The Y-shaped support 3 can support the middle section of the fuselage 1 so that when the fuselage 1 pushes the cover 65 against the building surface, it can cooperate with the cover 65 to balance the fuselage 1.
[0047] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When inspecting water conservancy and hydropower structures, the robot is placed in water. The controller connected to the robot body 1 controls the robot body 1 to dive. When the robot body 1 dives to the expected height, the thruster 4 is activated. The thruster 4 propels the robot body 1 to move underwater. At the same time, the robot body 1 is adjusted so that the shield 65 and the cleaning frame 67 come into contact with the structure. When the shield 65 comes into contact with the structure, the Y-shaped bracket 3 located on the side of the robot body 1 will cooperate with the ball bearings 74 to assist the shield 65 in supporting the robot body 1. When the robot body 1 moves, the ball bearings 74 that come into contact with the structure (such as a water diversion tunnel or pipeline) will reduce the resistance between the Y-shaped bracket 3 and the structure. By setting the support device 7, the collision between the inspection robot body and the structure can be reduced, thereby avoiding damage to the robot's surface coating and improving the safety of the robot during operation.
[0048] During the movement of the fuselage 1, the fuselage 1 supplies power to the camera probe 54 and the supplementary light 55. The camera probe 54 and the supplementary light 55 are powered on and work. The supplementary light 55 illuminates the acquisition area, and the camera probe 54 acquires images of the acquisition area. The acquired images are sent back to the processing equipment through electronic components such as the motherboard in the fuselage 1. The processing equipment analyzes and identifies the acquired images, thereby realizing the detection of cracks in underwater structures.
[0049] When the detection angle of the camera probe 54 needs to be adjusted, the switch of the servo motor 56 is turned on. The servo motor 56 drives the gear 57, which meshes with the gear ring 51. Under the action of the gear 57, the gear ring 51, together with the mounting bracket 61 and the fixing bracket 53, adjusts the angle of the camera probe 54 and the supplementary light 55. After the camera probe 54 is adjusted by 90° in one go, the operator turns off the servo motor 56. The servo motor 56, together with the gear 57 and the gear ring 51, locks the position of the mounting ring 52, the fixing bracket 53 and the camera probe 54.
[0050] When the servo motor 56 is working, it synchronously drives sprocket 2 511. Sprocket 2 511, in conjunction with chain 1 512, drives sprocket 1 510. Sprocket 1 510 drives hollow shaft 59. Hollow shaft 59, in conjunction with gear 2 513 and chain 2 514, drives gear 3 518. When gear 3 518 rotates, it meshes with the convex teeth inside the powerful magnetic ring 516, thereby driving the powerful magnetic ring 516 to rotate. During rotation, the powerful magnetic ring 516 magnetically drives the drive ring 520 to rotate. The pump 62, connecting pipe 63, and connecting pipe 61 are rotated in conjunction with the mounting bracket 61 so that the shield 65 and the guide ring 610 are adjusted synchronously with the angle of the camera probe 54. By setting up a multi-angle detection device 5, the user can adjust the detection angle of the equipment in the working state to increase the detectable direction after the equipment is submerged once. The detection angle can be adjusted in real time for different underwater working conditions so that the equipment can accurately aim at the target area and avoid detection blind spots or missed detections caused by a fixed angle.
[0051] When the camera probe 54 is working, the pump 62 is switched on simultaneously. The pump 62, powered on, works with connecting pipe 63 and L-shaped pipe 64 to pump water from the shield 65 into connecting pipe 611. As the water flows through L-shaped pipe 64, it drives the blades 68 to rotate. The blades 68, in conjunction with the rotating shaft 66, rotate the cleaning frame 67. During rotation, the cleaning frame 67 cleans the dirt adhering to the building in front of the camera probe 54. The wastewater generated during cleaning is contained by the shield 65 and pumped into connecting pipe 611. Connecting pipe 611 then sends the wastewater into the guide ring 610. The guide ring 610 sends sewage into the corresponding drain pipe 612 through the through holes on its surface and the guide holes connected to the through holes. The drain pipe 612, together with the nozzle 613, discharges the sewage. At the same time as the sewage is discharged, the force generated by the sewage discharge pushes the body 1 towards the building so that the shield 65 is stably attached to the building surface. By setting the detection auxiliary device 6, the equipment can clean the area to be detected during detection. At the same time, it can effectively constrain and pump the sewage generated during cleaning to reduce the interference of sewage leakage on the probe image and further improve the image acquisition quality of the robot.
