[0002] A pipeline robot is an integrated mechanical, electrical and instrumentation system that can automatically walk along the inside or outside of a small pipeline, carry one or more sensors and operating machinery, and perform a series of pipeline operations. According to the different driving modes of pipeline robots, they can be roughly divided into: mobile robots, wheeled robots, crawler robots, abdominal wall robots, walking robots, peristaltic robots, spiral-driven robots and snake-type robots.
[0003] When the existing pipeline robot is moving in the pipeline, if it encounters pipeline garbage, it does not have the obstacle avoidance function and its way forward will be blocked by the pipeline garbage, and then its movement will stagnate and an alarm failure will occur. This will undoubtedly have a great impact on the normal work of the pipeline robot and may even cause the pipeline robot to be unable to exit the pipeline, resulting in greater maintenance costs.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a pipeline robot capable of internal monitoring to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Utility Model Content

[0024] Specifically, the monitoring probe 12 is installed in the monitoring mounting seat 10. The monitoring probe 12 can be rotated in the monitoring mounting seat 10 by using the circular groove 11, thereby adjusting the direction of the monitoring eye 13, so as to complete a wider range of monitoring without leaving blind spots;

The connection line of the monitoring probe 12 passes through the side wall of the main body 1 through the wire groove 8. The controller and related circuits are separated and placed on the mounting plate 6. Combined with the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation holes 7 on the mounting plate 6, the heat can be dissipated well to avoid heat accumulation and affect the normal power supply of the circuit;
