[0002] The pipeline crawler is used for defect inspection, repair and other work of various pipelines such as natural gas pipelines, oil pipelines, urban water supply and drainage pipelines, and tap water pipelines. The pipeline robot system is composed of a traveling mechanism, a visual inspection device for observing and detecting the inner wall of the pipe, a control and communication device, etc. If necessary, a repair device for pipe inner defects can also be added.
[0003] Most of the existing technologies adopt a pipeline crawler disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN208845969U. The utility model is provided with a camera that is convenient to disassemble. One side of the camera is connected to a connecting plate, and the connecting plate is fixed to an upper clamping plate and a lower clamping plate through a connecting rod. When installing the camera, the position of the upper clamping plate is pulled, and under the action of a reset spring, the position of the upper clamping plate is changed, and the position of the lower clamping plate approaches the support rod. At this time, no pressure is applied to the upper clamping plate, and the upper clamping plate is clamped with the lower clamping plate again under the action of the reset spring. The fixing rod inside the upper clamping plate is inserted into the clamping hole inside the support rod and penetrates through the through hole of the lower clamping plate for fixation.
[0004] The above-mentioned lighting lamp is only fixed and installed by a spring. When disassembling the lighting lamp, it can be directly pulled out manually. Therefore, when the lighting lamp collides in the pipeline, it is extremely easy to fall off, resulting in damage to the lighting lamp, and the stability of the lighting lamp of the pipeline crawler during operation cannot be guaranteed.

[0021] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments.
[0022] Refer to Figures 1 - 3, A pipeline crawler, including a body 1, a mounting plate 2 is fixedly connected to the body 1, a mounting hole 3 is opened on the mounting plate 2, and a mounting rod 4 corresponding to the mounting hole 3 is slidably sleeved in the mounting hole 3. The mounting hole 3 is composed of a circular hole and a rectangular hole, and the mounting rod 4 is composed of a cylindrical rod and a rectangular plate. Due to the special structures of the mounting hole 3 and the mounting rod 4, for the mounting rod 4 to be detached from the mounting hole 3, precise alignment is required to complete the disassembly and assembly operation of the mounting rod 4;
[0023] A lighting lamp 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting rod 4, and the lighting lamp 5 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting rod 4 away from the mounting plate 2;
[0024] A fixing mechanism for fixing and limiting the lighting lamp 5 is arranged on the body 1. Through the fixing mechanism, the position of the lighting lamp 5 can be further fixed. For details, refer to the attached Figure 2 - attached Figure 3 , The fixing mechanism includes a guiding sliding groove 6 opened on the body 1. A guiding slider 7 and a spring 8 are welded in the guiding sliding groove 6. The guiding slider 7 is slidably sleeved in the guiding sliding groove 6, and the spring 8 is welded at the front end position of the guiding sliding groove 6. The guiding sliding groove 6 can guide and limit the guiding slider 7, which helps to ensure the stability of the guiding slider 7 when moving horizontally in the guiding sliding groove 6. Due to the elastic force of the spring 8, the guiding slider 7 can be reset when not being pulled;
[0025] A contact cam 9 that is movably abutted against the guiding slider 7 is fixedly sleeved on the mounting rod 4. The contact cam 9 is an elliptical structure. It should be noted that: the contact cam 9 and the guiding slider 7 are always movably abutted;
[0026] A fixing rod 10 that penetrates the mounting rod 4 is fixedly connected to the guiding slider 7. A fixing hole for slidably sleeving the fixing rod 10 is opened on the mounting rod 4. It should be noted that: the initial state of the contact cam 9 is the horizontal state when the mounting rod 4 corresponds to the mounting hole 3. When rotating more than 45° in the horizontal state, the fixing rod 10 enters the fixing hole. The fixing hole is a circular groove structure, and the diameter of the circular groove is correspondingly set with the fixing rod 10, so that the fixing rod 10 can move vertically in the circular groove, thereby avoiding the movement interference of the fixing rod 10 on the rotation of the mounting rod 4. Through the movable abutment between the inner wall of the fixing hole and the outer wall of the fixing rod 10, the horizontal position deviation of the mounting rod 4 can be avoided, which helps to ensure the stability of the mounting rod 4. And when the fixing hole corresponds to the fixing rod 10, the rectangular plate part of the mounting rod 4 is movably abutted against the mounting plate 2.
[0027] The functional principle of the present utility model can be elaborated through the following operation methods:
[0028] Pull the guiding slider 7 to move in the guiding chute 6, squeeze the spring 8, the mounting rod 4 enters the mounting hole 3, release the guiding slider 7, under the elastic force of the spring 8, the guiding slider 7 is movably abutted against the abutting cam 9, rotate the mounting rod 4, the mounting rod 4 drives the abutting cam 9 to rotate 90°, under the elastic force of the spring 8, the guiding slider 7 drives the fixing rod 10 to enter the fixing hole;
[0029] When it is necessary to disassemble the illuminating lamp 5, rotate the mounting rod 4, the mounting rod 4 drives the abutting cam 9 to rotate 45°, at this time the guiding slider 7 is squeezed by the abutting cam 9 to drive the fixing rod 10 to disengage from the fixing hole, continue to rotate the mounting rod 4, the mounting rod 4 drives the abutting cam 9 to rotate 45°, at this time pull out the mounting rod 4, thus completing the disassembly work of the illuminating lamp 5.
[0030] The above is only a preferred specific embodiment of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, according to the technical solution of the present invention and its inventive concept, makes equivalent substitutions or changes, and should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
