Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of water conservancy engineering and municipal pipeline maintenance technology, and particularly relates to a pipeline dredging robot guided by physical rules. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, using robots to replace manual labor for pipeline dredging has become an industry consensus. However, in practical engineering applications, existing dredging robots still face the following significant technical bottlenecks: insufficient adaptability and stability of the robot's motion mechanism to complex pipe shapes. Most existing pipeline dredging robots adopt a single-unit rigid chassis structure. When facing curved pipes with small radii of curvature or unstructured terrain, the single-unit structure is prone to jamming or tipping over. Furthermore, during high-pressure water jetting or powerful mechanical breaking operations, the robot body is easily subjected to enormous recoil forces. The lack of an effective multi-body dynamics stability control mechanism makes it difficult to maintain the working posture, severely affecting dredging accuracy.

[0003] Patent application CN120291607A discloses a suction-type intelligent dredging robot and dredging method for underground drainage pipes. It can automate and intelligently diagnose and dredge siltation in underground drainage pipe networks within a certain maintenance area. However, the robot relies heavily on algorithms and mechanically breaks up pipes using an electric hammer, without further algorithmic improvements to enhance safety at pipe defects. Furthermore, the robot is a single-unit structure, making it less adaptable to bends in pipes compared to a modular design. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, the non-contact ultrasonic level gauge 21 and the wireless signal transceiver module 22 adopt a compact modular layout within the enclosure, sharing the aforementioned terminal block for equipment wiring.

[0039] A detection method for a pipeline dredging robot guided by physical rules includes the following steps:

[0040] S1, the deployment phase: the robot is placed into the target water conservancy and flood control pipeline through the rainwater well. The operator issues the operation command through the ground terminal. The operation control box, which is placed on the ground, receives the operation control command and the fluid state index data transmitted by the cable 24. The operation control box then transmits the signal to drive the robot's motor system to start.

[0041] S2, Model Building Stage: The ultrasonic flaw detection sensor and pressure sensor are activated, the Doppler flow velocity sensor 10 starts flow velocity detection, and the intelligent diagnosis algorithm for siltation in water conservancy and flood control pipelines combines the design parameters (pipe diameter, slope) and real-time flow field data of water conservancy and flood control pipelines to adjust the telescopic support arm 1 so that the operating robot is in the best operating posture. At the same time, the multi-channel ultrasonic crushing rotating head 4 drives the ultrasonic thickness measuring sensor 15 and the lidar 16 to start rotating and scanning the water conservancy and flood control pipelines, and initially constructs a three-dimensional distribution map of siltation in water conservancy and flood control pipelines.

[0042] S3, Intelligent Diagnosis Stage: Development Board 25 runs the intelligent diagnosis algorithm for siltation in water conservancy and flood control pipelines, inputs the data collected by the operation robot, and calculates the optimal operation parameters by combining the reaction kinetic model of the chemical ablation reagent.

[0043] S4, Parameter Adjustment Stage: Based on the optimal operating parameters obtained by the intelligent diagnostic algorithm for siltation in water conservancy and flood control pipelines, adjust and set the ultrasonic frequency of the multi-channel ultrasonic crushing rotating head 4, the jet pressure of the omnidirectional high-pressure nozzle 5, the stirring speed of the stirring brush 6, and the negative pressure power of the vacuum pump 9.

[0044] S5, the collaborative dredging execution phase, uses omnidirectional high-pressure nozzle 5 to spray chemical ablation reagent to soften the silt, uses multi-channel ultrasonic crushing rotating head 4 to ultrasonically crush the silt, uses stirring brush 6 to assist in stirring and crushing the silt, and uses silt transfer system to pump and transport the crushed silt.

[0045] S6, Dynamic Adaptation Stage: During the operation, the flow field changes inside the water conservancy and flood control pipeline are monitored in real time. If the flow velocity changes abruptly, the posture of the operating robot and the suction power of the sediment transfer system are adjusted. The condition of the inner wall of the water conservancy and flood control pipeline is detected by ultrasonic flaw detection sensors and pressure sensors. If new deposits are found, the omnidirectional high-pressure nozzle 5 and the multi-channel ultrasonic crushing rotating head 4 are triggered to start, and the new deposits are targeted for dredging, thus completing the dredging of a section of the water conservancy and flood control pipeline.

[0046] S7, Secondary Inspection Stage: After dredging a section of the flood control pipeline, the ultrasonic thickness sensor 15 and the lidar 16 scan the undragged section of the flood control pipeline again. The intelligent siltation diagnosis module of the flood control pipeline compares the data before and after dredging. If the siltation residue rate is high, secondary dredging is initiated; if the residue rate is low, the control system is activated to move the robot to the next section of the flood control pipeline and repeat the process of S2-S6.

[0047] S8, during the shutdown and recovery phase, after the entire section of the water conservancy and flood control pipeline has been dredged, the intelligent diagnosis module for siltation in the water conservancy and flood control pipeline generates a dredging report, which is transmitted to the ground terminal via the wireless signal transceiver module 22. The operator controls the operation robot to return to the rainwater well, and the omnidirectional high-pressure nozzle 5 switches to the clean water spraying mode to clean the multi-channel ultrasonic crushing rotating head 4, the stirring brush 6, and the suction port of the silt suction device 7 to prevent siltation from affecting the next use. Finally, the operation robot is shut down, and the dredging robot and the stored silt are recovered.
