AI Technical Summary
Existing pipeline operation and maintenance technologies have low levels of data digitization and intelligence, making it impossible to achieve accurate data mapping and integrated repair. This results in a disconnect between pipeline operation and maintenance data and actual working conditions. Furthermore, pipeline robots are prone to getting stuck in narrow and clogged pipelines, making it impossible to complete detection and repair simultaneously, leading to low operational efficiency.
The system employs a tracked walking device equipped with a GPS positioning and recording system and multiple cameras, combined with high-pressure water jets, repair airbags, and an auxiliary traction system to achieve intelligent walking, precise mapping, full-area detection, adaptive dredging, and integrated shaping and repair within the pipeline. A high-precision three-dimensional real-scene model is constructed using BIM and GIS technologies.
It enables digital and visual management of pipeline data, improves the structural strength and sealing of pipeline repair, reduces construction risks and costs, and adapts to the operation and maintenance needs of modern urban smart pipeline networks.
