[0029] The first motor 2 is fixedly mounted on the right side of the main body 1 through a fixing plate. A bidirectional threaded rod 4 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the first motor 2.

[0030] The bidirectional threaded rod 4 is rotatably connected to the fixing block on the cross fixing block 10 .

[0031] Both ends of the outer surface of the bidirectional threaded rod 4 are threadedly connected with a moving block 5. The first connecting rod 7 is rotatably installed at the position corresponding to the slide slot 3 on the moving block 5. The second connecting rod 8 is rotatably installed at one end of the first connecting rod 7 away from the moving block 5.

The movement of the moving block 5 drives the first connecting rod 7 to move in the corresponding sliding groove 3, so that the first connecting rod 7 moves in a straight line. When the moving block 5 moves, it pushes the second connecting rod 8 to open outward through the first connecting rod 7, and then the second connecting rod 8 pushes the roller 12 to open outward.

[0037] When the roller 12 contacts the inner wall of the pipe, the first motor 2 is turned off, and the third motor 11 is started. The third motor 11 drives the roller 12 to rotate, thereby driving the main body 1 to move in the pipe.

[0038] When the main body 1 reaches the weld that needs to be inspected, the electric telescopic rod 15 is turned on, the electric telescopic rod 15 is extended to push the brush 16 to move, and when the brush 16 contacts the weld, the electric telescopic rod 15 is closed, and the second motor 13 is turned on. The second motor 13 drives the brush 16 to rotate through the connecting block 14 and the electric telescopic rod 15 to clean the weld.

[0039] The detector 9 detects the weld, and if the weld is corroded, the degree of corrosion of the weld can be observed through the camera 17.
