Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline detection robots, in particular to a structure with an external oil seal. Background Art
[0002] Pipeline inspection is an important maintenance and assessment method that can help determine the current status of the pipeline, identify potential problems such as cracks, corrosion, blockages or structural defects, and provide necessary data support for repair or replacement. Pipeline inspection is a complex process that requires professional equipment and technology, as well as a deep understanding of pipeline systems and inspection technologies.
[0003] Pipeline inspection robots are one of the commonly used equipment. They can enter the inside of the pipeline and are equipped with cameras and other sensors to record and transmit images and data inside the pipeline. In order to isolate the internal and external environments and prevent dirt in the pipeline from entering the robot during the detection process to cause pollution, erosion or damage, the pipeline inspection robot usually has a sealing (oil seal) structure sleeved on the shaft. However, the oil seal will wear out after long-term use, and the sealing performance cannot be guaranteed. The oil seals at the shafts of existing pipeline inspection robots are mostly set inside the robot, making it difficult to replace the oil seals. Utility Model Content

[0007] In one solution of the utility model: a limiting portion is arranged in the oil seal groove, one end of the oil seal ring abuts against the limiting portion, and the other end abuts against the cover plate.
[0008] In one solution of the utility model: the cover plate is a circular ring structure.
[0009] In one solution of the utility model: an annular groove is provided on the outer wall of the shell, and an annular connecting portion is provided on one side of the cover plate.
[0010] In one solution of the utility model: the cover plate is mounted and connected to the housing by bolts.

[0012] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0013] In the present application, an oil seal groove for accommodating an oil seal ring is provided on the outer wall of the robot shell, and the oil seal ring is then fixed by a detachable and fixed cover plate. After the oil seal ring is worn out during use, the cover plate is removed and the oil seal ring can be directly replaced externally, thereby solving the problem that the oil seal of the pipeline inspection robot is difficult to replace in the prior art.

[0023] In the description of the present utility model, "several" means one or more, "more" means more than two, "greater than", "less than", "exceed" etc. are understood to exclude the number itself, and "above", "below", "within" etc. are understood to include the number itself. If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.
[0024] See also Figure 1-3 The utility model is a structure with an external oil seal, including a shell 1, which is the main support structure of the pipeline detection robot, and is used to install various component structures of the detection robot. Multiple rotating shafts 2 can be set on the side of the shell for connecting the moving mechanism of the robot.
[0025] See also Figure 1-3 In one embodiment of the utility model, an oil seal groove is formed on the outer wall of the housing 1, and the position of the oil seal groove is coaxial with the position of the rotating shaft 2. An oil seal ring 3 is provided in the oil seal groove and sleeved on the rotating shaft 2, and the outer wall of the oil seal ring 3 fits the side wall of the oil seal groove, and the inner ring of the oil seal ring 3 fits the outer wall of the rotating shaft 2, so as to effectively seal the rotating shaft 2. A cover plate 4 is provided on the outside of the oil seal ring 3, and the cover plate 4 is detachably connected to the housing 1. The cover plate 4 fixes the oil seal ring 3.
[0026] See also Figure 1-3 In one embodiment of the utility model, a limiting portion may be provided in the oil seal groove, one end of the oil seal ring 3 abuts against the limiting portion, and the other end abuts against the cover plate 4. The position of the oil seal ring 3 is effectively limited by the provision of the annular limiting portion.
