[0002] Pipeline inspection robots are automated devices designed specifically for inspecting and maintaining various pipeline systems. Pipeline inspection robots can move inside pipelines and monitor the condition of pipelines in real time with the help of cameras, sensors and other inspection equipment. They can detect cracks, corrosion, blockages and other potential problems in pipelines and generate detailed inspection reports. At present, in order to ensure that water pipelines do not stop water flow and reduce water overflow during loading and unloading, pipeline inspection robots need to perform inspection work inside pressurized (non-stop water flow) pipelines.

[0003] However, due to the high water flow rate and water pressure inside the water pipeline, the inspection robot is prone to get out of control when working in the pipeline, resulting in the robot being unable to be successfully recovered from the pipeline. In this case, not only does it increase the risk of the robot getting stuck in the pipeline, it may also cause the pipeline inspection mission to fail, causing many inconveniences and potential economic losses to maintenance and management.

[0004] Therefore, the prior art urgently needs a device that can ensure the safe recovery of pipeline inspection robots to solve the above problems. Based on this, we propose a recovery device for a water pipeline leakage detection robot, which aims to ensure that the detection equipment can be smoothly and reliably removed from the pipeline after completing the task.

[0021] The following is combined with Figure 1-5The utility model is described in further detail.

[0022] See also Figure 1-2 The utility model provides a recovery device for a water pipeline leakage detection robot, comprising a connecting base 1 and a pipeline robot 2, the pipeline robot 2 is installed at one end of the connecting base 1, the connecting base 1 comprises a first adjustment component 3 and a second adjustment component 4 for recovering the pipeline robot 2, three groups of second adjustment components 4 are distributed around the outer side of the first adjustment component 3, and recovery connection seats 5 are respectively provided at both ends of the first adjustment component 3, the recovery connection seat 5 comprises a metal cover plate 6, and a strong magnetic suction plate 7 is connected to one side of the metal cover plate 6. Through the combined use of the metal cover plate 6 and the strong magnetic suction plate 7, when the pipeline robot 2 completes the task and needs to be recovered, the strong magnetic suction plate 7 can firmly attract the metal part at the bottom of the pipeline robot 2 to ensure that during the recovery process, even in the face of higher water pressure and fast water flow rate inside the water pipeline, the pipeline robot 2 will not be separated from the recovery connection seat 5, thereby significantly reducing the risk of loss or damage of the pipeline robot 2 and ensuring the safety and reliability of the recovery process.

[0023] See also Figure 3-4 The pipeline robot 2 includes a plastic casing 8, and extraction handles 9 are respectively arranged on both sides of the outside of the plastic casing 8. A propeller 10 is installed at the bottom of the plastic casing 8, and a metal cover plate 11 is also connected to the bottom of the propeller 10. The first adjustment component 3 includes an adjustment slide rod 12, and one end of the adjustment slide rod 12 is slidably connected to a first adjustment member 13, and the end of the adjustment slide rod 12 away from the first adjustment member 13 is fixedly connected to a second adjustment member 14, and the end of the adjustment slide rod 12 close to the second adjustment member 14 is also slidably connected to a third adjustment member 15. The adjustment slide rod 12 used in the first adjustment component 3 in this scheme is combined with the slidingly connected first adjustment member 13, the fixedly connected second adjustment member 14, and the slidingly connected third adjustment member 15 to form a precise adjustment mechanism. This design allows the connection base 1 to be adjusted as needed inside the water pipeline to ensure that it can adapt to and be correctly placed in pipelines of different diameters and configurations.

[0024] See also Figure 4 A compression spring 16 is sleeved and connected to the middle part of the adjusting slide rod 12, and the compression spring 16 is located between the first adjusting member 13 and the third adjusting member 15. Three groups of hinged plates 17 are respectively arranged on the outer sides of the first adjusting member 13, the second adjusting member 14, and the third adjusting member 15. By installing three groups of hinged plates 17 on the outer sides of the first adjusting member 13, the second adjusting member 14, and the third adjusting member 15, the hinged plates 17 allow the adjusting slide rod 12 to be fine-tuned and relatively displaced when necessary, so as to better adapt to the internal conditions of the pipeline and enhance the overall adaptability and reliability of the connecting base 1.

[0025] See also Figure 5The second adjustment component 4 includes a triangular plate 18, and two groups of first fixed plates 19 are installed on the top of one end of the triangular plate 18, and a forward and reverse motor 20 is arranged on one side of one group of first fixed plates 19. A second fixed plate 21 is connected to the top of one end of the triangular plate 18 away from the first fixed plate 19, and a transmission wheel 22 is installed on one side of the second fixed plate 21 and another group of first fixed plates 19, and one group of transmission wheels 22 is connected to the forward and reverse motor 20 for transmission, and a moving belt 23 is also connected between the two groups of transmission wheels 22.

[0026] See also Figure 5 Two groups of first articulated arm plates 24 are hingedly connected at the bottom of one end of the triangular plate 18, and the two groups of first articulated arm plates 24 are hingedly connected to the second adjusting member 14. Two groups of second articulated arm plates 25 are hingedly connected to the bottom of one end of the triangular plate 18 away from the first articulated arm plates 24, and the second articulated arm plates 25 are hingedly matched with the first adjusting member 13. A third articulated arm plate 26 is hingedly connected to the middle part of one side of one group of first articulated arm plates 24, and the third articulated arm plate 26 is hingedly matched with the third adjusting member 15. By installing the first articulated arm plates 24, the second articulated arm plates 25 and the third articulated arm plates 26 at both ends of the triangular plate 18, the layout of this structure allows a certain range of movement between the various components of the connecting base 1, and provides an ability to adapt to changes in the internal environment of the pipeline. This adaptability enables the connecting base 1 to adapt to water pipes of different diameters.

[0027] Working principle: The detection robot recovery device designed in this scheme is mainly composed of two parts: a connecting base 1 and a pipeline robot 2, wherein the connecting base 1 is the core of this technical scheme. The connecting base 1 can adjust the support distance of the three groups of second adjustment components 4 through the first adjustment component 3, so that the connecting base 1 can be suitable for water pipes of different diameters. When the pipeline robot 2 is used inside the water pipe, the connection base 1 can be controlled to move inside the water pipe by synchronously controlling the operation of the forward and reverse motors 20 on the three groups of second adjustment components 4. When the strong magnetic suction plate 7 installed at the front end of the connecting base 1 contacts the metal cover plate 11 installed at the bottom of the pipeline robot, the pipeline robot 2 can be adsorbed and fixed on one end of the connecting base 1. At this time, by controlling the movement of the connecting base 1, the stopped pipeline robot 2 can be recovered from the inside of the water pipe, so as to avoid the stopped pipeline robot 2 from being out of control during the recovery process due to the large water flow velocity and high water pressure inside the water pipe.

[0028] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be included in the protection scope of the present utility model.
