Technical Field

[0002] After years of use, water supply pipelines inevitably experience problems such as internal wall damage and leakage due to corrosion and aging, necessitating pipeline repair. Existing water supply pipeline repair is mainly divided into open-cut repair and trenchless repair. Open-cut repair involves excavating the road surface where the pipeline is damaged; this involves a large excavation area, a long timeframe, and significant disruption, and often involves land issues, especially on private land, making communication and resolution difficult.
[0003] Trenchless repair methods primarily involve excavation, with only partial excavation over a small area. The problem is solved by installing a new lining inside the water supply pipeline. Stainless steel lining welding is one such trenchless repair method. It involves welding the stainless steel lining material to the damaged inner wall of the water supply pipeline. This method offers high structural strength, does not affect water quality, ensures water safety, and has a long service life. Currently, stainless steel lining welding is performed inside the water supply pipeline, welding multiple stainless steel sections together. However, it is still mainly done manually, which is difficult due to the harsh environment inside the pipe and requires highly skilled operators.

[0021] Based on the above-mentioned technical solution for a trenchless lining repair robot for water supply pipelines, a method for using the trenchless lining repair robot for water supply pipelines is also disclosed, including the following steps: Step 1: Lay a stainless steel tube inside the damaged water supply pipe, ensuring that the stainless steel tube is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the water supply pipe. Step 2: Move the walking structure into the stainless steel cylindrical section; Step 3: Start the operation of the support structure, which then contacts the inner wall of the stainless steel cylinder section; Step 4: The control system starts the operation of the movable structure, which drives the welding torch to weld the stainless steel cylinder sections together, thus welding adjacent stainless steel cylinder sections together. Step 5: After the stainless steel cylinder section welding is completed, start the support structure reset and repeat the operations from Step 2 to Step 4 to weld different stainless steel cylinder sections.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: This application involves low human intervention, primarily relying on mechanical welding with a high degree of automation. This effectively reduces the difficulty of welding operations and the workload of operators, minimizing manual labor. Before use, a stainless steel cylindrical section is laid inside the damaged section of the water supply pipe, ensuring it adheres tightly to the inner wall of the pipe. During use, the moving structure is moved into the stainless steel cylindrical section. This movement drives the welding machine, support structure, adjustment structure, and control system into the section. The control system activates the support structure, extending the movable end of the linear movement mechanism. This extension causes the first set of components to rotate, with the arc-shaped plates rotating with it. As the arc-shaped plates move away from each other, they push the slider, which moves along the guide rail. The slider then moves the first rod outward, moving it away from the first set of components. The first rolling element moves with the first rod and contacts the stainless steel cylindrical section, providing support for the adjustment structure and ensuring the welding torch remains stable and does not wobble during welding. Subsequently, the control system activates the moving structure, which is driven by a motor to rotate. The first and second linear moving mechanisms and the fixture rotate with the turntable, and the welding torch rotates 30 to 60 degrees with the fixture to perform circumferential welding on the stainless steel cylinder sections, welding the inner linings of the adjacent stainless steel cylinder sections together. The first and second linear moving mechanisms drive the welding torch to move up, down, left, and right, adjusting the position of the welding torch and increasing its flexibility to improve welding quality and weld aesthetics. Because the inner wall of the water supply pipe may be uneven, the position of the weld can be adjusted in real time via remote control of the first and second linear moving mechanisms through the control system, facilitating weld correction. For longitudinal welding, the motor drives the welding torch to rotate to the corresponding position, and then the drive motor on the walking structure of the control system drives the walking wheels to rotate, thereby making the walking structure move in a straight line. The welding torch moves with the walking structure, welding the longitudinal seam of the stainless steel cylinder section while moving, completing the longitudinal seam welding of the stainless steel cylinder section. After the circumferential and longitudinal seam welding is completed, the control system controls the support structure and movable structure to reset, and the walking structure moves forward, repeating the above operation to weld another set of stainless steel cylinder sections.

Optionally, the second rolling element 476 can also be a straight ball, with the ball movably positioned at the end of the fourth rod 475. When the second rolling element 476 presses against the stainless steel cylinder section, the spring 473 pushes the push plate 474, ensuring that the second rolling element 476 always presses against the stainless steel cylinder section. The steel cylinder section is provided with a certain tracking space, and can be finely adjusted left and right during the welding process to make the weld bead shape beautiful. The second rolling body 476 can move with the turntable 42, the first linear moving mechanism 35, and the second linear moving mechanism 46. When the second rolling body 476 is pressed against the stainless steel cylinder section, the second rolling body 476 can move while pressing against the stainless steel cylinder section, ensuring that the welding torch 21 always maintains the optimal distance and angle with the stainless steel cylinder section during the welding process, without causing fluctuations in current and voltage, making the welding process very stable and the weld bead shape beautiful.

[0038] Work style: Before use, a stainless steel cylindrical section is laid inside the damaged area of the water supply pipe, ensuring it fits tightly against the inner wall of the pipe. During use, the moving structure 1 is moved into the stainless steel cylindrical section. The moving structure 1 then moves the welding machine 2, support structure 3, adjustment structure 4, and control system 5 into the stainless steel cylindrical section. The control system 5 activates the support structure 3, driving the movable end of the linear moving mechanism 36 to extend. This extension causes the movable end of the linear moving mechanism 36 to rotate the first set of bodies 37. The arc-shaped plates 35 rotate with the first set of bodies 37, moving away from each other. Simultaneously, the arc-shaped plates 35 push the slider 34, causing the slider to slide...

For circumferential welding, the inner linings of the adjacent stainless steel cylindrical sections are welded together. The first linear movement mechanism 45 and the second linear movement mechanism 46 drive the welding torch 21 to move up, down, left, and right, adjusting the position of the welding torch 21 and increasing its flexibility to improve welding quality and weld aesthetics. Because the inner wall of the water supply pipe may be uneven, the position of the weld can be adjusted in real time via the first linear movement mechanism 45 and the second linear movement mechanism 46 through the remote control system 5, facilitating weld correction. For longitudinal welding, the motor 44 drives the welding torch 21 to rotate to the corresponding position, and then the control system 5 moves the welding torch. The drive motor on the 1 drives the walking wheel 11 to rotate, thereby making the walking structure 1 move in a straight line. The welding torch 21 moves with the walking structure 1 and welds the longitudinal seam of the stainless steel cylinder section while moving. After the longitudinal seam welding of the stainless steel cylinder section is completed, the control system 5 controls the support structure 3 and the movable structure 4 to reset. The walking structure 1 moves forward and repeats the above operation to weld another set of stainless steel cylinder sections. In the welding process, the degree of manual participation is low, and mechanical welding is mainly used.
