AI Technical Summary
Existing municipal pipeline inspection robots suffer from problems such as shadows, blurriness, and reflections in the images captured of the pipeline interior due to limited illumination range and uneven lighting, making it difficult to clearly present detailed information and affecting the inspection results.
The detection arm and displacement sensor work together. The detection arm fits against the inner wall of the pipe through ball bearings, and the displacement sensor detects deformation in real time. Combined with elastic components and drive components, it can achieve accurate detection without the need for light. The detection arm can also be retracted to adapt to different pipe diameters.
It enables high-precision detection in dark or murky environments, discovering minute defects, avoiding unclear detection caused by poor lighting, broadening the scope of application, improving detection efficiency and accuracy, and eliminating jamming, saving operation time and costs.
