AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

When existing pipeline endoscopy robots are deployed deep into marine pipelines, the data transmission cables are damaged by friction against the inner wall of the pipeline, increasing the burden on the robot and reducing its endurance.

Method used

By employing lifting delivery components to keep the data cable away from the inner wall of the pipeline, and by using positioning components to keep the endoscopic robot on the vertical centerline of the marine pipeline, friction is reduced and straight-line movement is ensured.

Benefits of technology

It reduces frictional damage to data cables, extends the battery life of the endoscopic robot, and improves the accuracy and stability of endoscopic examination.

Abstract

This invention discloses an endoscopic inspection device for large marine pipelines, specifically relating to the field of endoscopic inspection. It includes a marine pipeline and an endoscopic robot. The endoscopic robot is mounted on the inner wall of the marine pipeline. A data cable is mounted on one side of the endoscopic robot. A positioning component and a lifting and conveying component are also mounted on the same side of the endoscopic robot. The lifting and conveying component includes a fixed plate fixedly connected to the end of the endoscopic robot near the data cable. A pull rope is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate. A cable support is mounted on one side of the endoscopic robot. A movable shaft is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cable support, and a roller is rotatably connected to the outer side of the movable shaft. This invention lifts the data cable away from the inner wall of the pipeline by using the lifting and conveying component, reducing friction during cable movement and lowering the burden on the endoscopic robot during movement. Combined with the positioning component's positioning and placement to prevent deviation, this significantly reduces the burden on the endoscopic robot during movement and extends its service life.
