[0023] The following is a detailed description of the present invention, clearly and completely describing the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] The utility model provides a pipeline detection wireless robot through improvement. The technical solution of the utility model is:

[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a wireless robot for pipeline inspection includes a robot body 1. The robot body 1 can adapt to the size of different pipelines 2 by adjusting the height of the bottom moving mechanism. A pipeline 2 is provided outside the robot body 1. A camera 3 is provided on the robot body 1. A cleaning component 4 is provided on the robot body 1. The cleaning component 4 includes a motor 41, a fixing ring 42, a connecting rod 43 and a brush 44. The motor 41 is fixed to the robot body 1 by bolts, the fixing ring 42 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 41 by bolts, the connecting rod 43 is fixedly connected to the fixing ring 42, the cross-section of the connecting rod 43 is "L"-shaped, and multiple brushes 44 are fixedly connected to the connecting rod 43. The brushes 44 are made of a soft material to reduce damage to the lens of the camera 3 when the brushes 44 are cleaning. The robot body 1 is provided with an adjustment component 5 and a water spray component 6.

[0026] Further, such as Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment assembly 5 includes a turntable 51, a rotating rod 52 and a slider 53. The turntable 51 is fixed to the output shaft of the motor 41 by bolts. The two rotating rods 52 are rotatably connected to the turntable 51. The two rotating rods 52 are symmetrical with the motor 41 as the axis, and the two sliders 53 are rotatably connected to the two rotating rods 52 respectively.

[0027] Further, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the adjustment assembly 5 also includes a rotating box 54, a fixed rod 55 and a block 56. The two rotating boxes 54 are respectively slidably connected to the two sliders 53. The interior of the rotating box 54 is a hollow structure. The four fixed rods 55 are respectively fixedly connected to the two rotating boxes 54, and the two blocks 56 are respectively slidably connected to the two fixed rods 55.

[0028] Further, such as Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the adjustment assembly 5 also includes a handle 57 and a screw 58. The handle 57 is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 55. The cross section of the handle 57 is in an inverted "U" shape, and the screw 58 is threadedly connected to the handle 57.

[0029] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the water spray assembly 6 includes a water inlet 61 and a partition 62. The two water inlets 61 are respectively opened on the two rotating boxes 54. A one-way valve is provided at the water inlet 61, so that water can only enter the rotating box 54 from the water inlet 61 and cannot be discharged from the water inlet 61. The two partitions 62 are respectively fixedly connected to the two rotating boxes 54.

[0030] Further, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the water spray assembly 6 also includes a pressure valve 63 and a water spray hole 64. The two pressure valves 63 are fixedly connected to the two partitions 62 respectively. The partitions 62 cooperate with the pressure valves 63. When the motor 41 is not started, the water is blocked by the partitions 62 and cannot flow into the water spray holes 64. After the motor 41 is started, the water performs centrifugal motion, causing the water pressure to increase and reach the value set by the pressure valve 63. The water flows out from the pressure valve 63, and multiple water spray holes 64 are respectively opened on the two rotating boxes 54.

[0031] The specific working method is: water is injected into the rotating box 54 through the water inlet 61, and then the screw 58 is rotated so that the bottom of the screw 58 no longer presses against the block 56. Since the block 56 is no longer restricted at this time, the slider 53 can be pushed to move, and the rotating rod 52 rotates accordingly, thereby adjusting the distance between the two rotating boxes 54 to adapt to pipes 2 of different sizes. After the adjustment is completed, the screw 58 is rotated in the opposite direction so that it presses against the block 56 to prevent the block 56 from falling off during the rotation process, so that the slider 53 moves, and then the robot body 1 is placed in the pipe 2, and the robot body 1 is started to move in the pipe 2. When the motor 41 is started, its output shaft drives the fixed ring 42 to rotate, and the connecting rod 43 moves accordingly, and the surface of the camera 3 is cleaned by the brush 44 to prevent the dust in the pipe 2 from being contaminated to the surface of the camera 3, thereby affecting the detection. The turntable 51 rotates as the output shaft of the motor 41 rotates, driving the rotating rod 52 to rotate, and the slider 53 also rotates accordingly, driving the rotating box 54 to rotate. The water in it flows out from the pressure valve 63 due to the action of centrifugal motion, and is then sprayed out along the water spray hole 64 to clean the inner wall of the pipe 2, thereby preventing dust from being contaminated to the inner wall of the pipe 2, resulting in detection errors.

[0032] The technical means disclosed in the present invention are not limited to the technical means disclosed in the above technical means, but also include technical solutions composed of equivalent replacements of the above technical features. Matters not covered in the present invention belong to the common knowledge of those skilled in the art.
