The two first connecting seats 3 are respectively located on both sides of the first motor 2. The first connecting seats 3 are circumferentially rotatably connected to multiple connecting frames 12. The connecting frames 12 on the same side of the two first connecting seats 3 are rotatably connected to the connecting plate 4. The two first connecting seats 3 are connected to four connecting plates 4 through the connecting frame 12. Two first sprockets 5 are rotatably arranged on both sides of the connecting plate 4. The first crawler 6 is commonly sleeved on the two first sprockets 5 on the same side. A second motor 7 is installed by bolt connection, and the output shaft of the second motor 7 is fixedly connected to a first sprocket 5 on the same side by bolt connection. It also includes a dual-axis motor 8, a second connecting seat 9, a connector 901, a second sprocket 10 and a second crawler 11. The dual-axis motor 8 is installed on the side of the connecting plate 4 away from the second motor 7 by bolt connection, and the output shafts on both sides of the dual-axis motor 8 are fixedly connected to the second connecting seat 9 by key connection. Two second sprockets 10 are rotatably arranged on both sides of the second connecting seat 9, and the second crawler 11 is jointly sleeved on the two second sprockets 10 on the same side. The first sprocket 5 and the second sprocket 10 close to each other are fixedly connected by bolt connection with a connector 901.
[0027] When the pipeline needs to be cleaned, the first sprocket 5 is driven to rotate by starting each second motor 7, and then the first crawler 6 is rolled, so that the robot body moves in the pipeline; if a pipeline with an up and down drop is encountered, the second connecting seat 9 is driven to rotate by starting the dual-axis motor 8, so that the second sprocket 10 at one end drives the second crawler 11 to rise and fall to the same height as the drop pipeline, and then under the action of the connector 901, the second sprocket 10 drives the first sprocket 5 to rotate synchronously, so that the second crawler 11 rolls, and then the robot body gradually enters the pipeline with a height difference with the current pipeline; the cable joints used for the first crawler 6 and the second crawler 11 have a certain tensile strength and reliable sealing, ensuring that the cable can work normally in underwater and humid environments, thereby ensuring the power supply and data transmission of the robot; the first sprocket 5 and the second sprocket 10 are processed using corrosion-resistant alloy materials, which have corrosion resistance and avoid corrosion damage after long-term work.
[0028] Example 2: Based on Example 1, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, it also includes a connecting sleeve 13 installed on one side of the mounting shell 1 by means of bolt connection, the output shaft of the first motor 2 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 13, a mounting plate 14 is rotatably arranged in the connecting sleeve 13, the output shaft of the first motor 2 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 14 by means of a coupling, a plurality of balls 15 for reducing friction are arranged between the mounting plate 14 and the connecting sleeve 13, three guide plates 18 evenly spaced are installed in the mounting plate 14 by means of bolt connection, a rack 19 is slidably arranged on the guide plate 18, and the rack 19 is away from the mounting plate A cleaning wheel 20 for cleaning the inner wall of the pipe is rotatably provided at one end of the disk 14. Three support rods 16 are fixedly connected in the mounting disk 14 by welding. A driven gear 17 is rotatably provided on the support rod 16. Each driven gear 17 is respectively engaged with each rack 19. A servo motor 21 is installed on the outer side of the mounting disk 14 by bolt connection. The output shaft of the servo motor 21 passes through the mounting disk 14, and a driving gear 22 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 21 by key connection. Each driven gear 17 is engaged with the driving gear 22.
[0029] When it is necessary to clean the inside of the pipeline, the first motor 2 is started to drive the mounting disk 14 to rotate on the connecting sleeve 13, and the ball 15 is used to reduce the friction between the mounting disk 14 and the connecting sleeve 13. The mounting disk 14 drives each rack 19 to revolve, so that the cleaning wheel 20 on the rack 19 rolls on the inner wall of the pipeline to clean the inner wall of the pipeline; when the pipeline diameter is small or large, the servo motor 21 is started to drive the driving gear 22 to rotate, and the driving gear 22 is engaged with each driven gear 17, so that the driven gear 17 rotates on the support rod 16. At this time, the driven gear 17 is engaged with the rack 19, and then the rack 19 drives the cleaning wheel 20 to slide along the guide plate 18 to adjust the cleaning range according to the size of the pipeline, which is suitable for cleaning pipelines of different sizes.
[0030] See also Figure 7 As shown, it also includes guide rods 23 fixedly connected to both sides of the installation shell 1 by welding, the first connecting seats 3 on both sides slide on the guide rods 23 on the corresponding side respectively, and the third motor 24 is installed on both sides of the installation shell 1 by bolt connection.

[0031] When the robot body needs to enter pipes of different sizes, the third motors 24 on both sides are started to drive the screw 25 to rotate forward and reverse, thereby making the first connecting seats 3 on both sides slide closer or farther away along the guide rods 23. When the two first connecting seats 3 are close to each other, the connecting plates 4 are pushed away from each other through the connecting frame 12, thereby making the robot body enter a larger pipe for cleaning. When the first connecting seats 3 on both sides are close to each other, the connecting plates 4 are close to each other and gathered together, and the robot body can enter a smaller pipe for cleaning.
