[0002] Municipal pipelines need to be regularly inspected and damaged parts repaired. Before repair, it is necessary to detect the damaged conditions inside the pipelines.

[0003] Currently, the detection methods commonly used in the process of municipal pipeline repair mainly rely on manual detection. For large-sized pipelines, manual detection can conveniently penetrate into the pipeline interior. However, for pipelines with smaller specifications, it is impossible for workers to enter the pipeline for detection. Therefore, special detection robots are needed to automatically detect the interior. For example, an intelligent detection device for pipeline detection disclosed in the patent with publication number CN206504116U includes: a housing, a sphere is provided at the top of the housing, a detection control device is provided inside, pulleys are provided at the lower part, windows are provided around the sphere, and a set of camera mechanisms, alarm mechanisms, image comparison mechanisms, marking mechanisms, drive control mechanisms and control mechanisms are provided in the detection control device. The camera mechanism, alarm mechanism, image comparison mechanism, marking mechanism and drive control mechanism are all connected to the control mechanism; a drive device and a speed adjustment device for the drive device are provided in the drive control mechanism.

[0004] However, when the entire detection device in the above application moves in a circular pipeline, due to the lack of support measures, the stability of the entire detection device is poor. Moreover, since the specifications of the entire device are not convenient to be adjusted according to the pipeline specifications, the pipeline specifications that can be detected are limited, resulting in certain limitations in the use of the entire device. Therefore, a detection robot for municipal underground pipeline repair construction is proposed to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 , a detection robot for the repair construction of municipal underground pipelines in this embodiment includes a support column 1, and a support member 2 is provided inside the support column 1;

[0026] The support member 2 includes a servo motor 22. An installation cavity 21 is formed inside the support column 1. The servo motor 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the installation cavity 21. The output shaft of the servo motor 22 is fixedly connected with a screw rod 27.

[0027] One end of the support column 1 is provided with a detection member for pipeline detection; the detection member includes a glass cover 210 fixedly connected to one end of the support column 1. An installation block 211 is fixedly connected to one end of the support column 1 and is located inside the glass cover 210. A camera 213 is fixedly installed on the outside of the installation block 211. A lighting lamp 212 is fixedly installed on the outside of the installation block 211. The camera 213 on the installation block 211 is used to capture the picture of the inner wall of the municipal pipeline, and the lighting lamp 212 is used to illuminate the inner wall of the pipeline, so as to formulate a pipeline repair method according to the presented picture.

[0028] In this embodiment, the moving driving block 26 is pushed up or pulled through the connecting rod 29 and the hinge block 23 to rotate in the perforation 28, so that it can be adjusted according to the inner diameter of the municipal pipeline. Moreover, the support column 1 is stably supported on the inner wall of the municipal pipeline by nine annularly distributed support wheels 24, and the picture is transmitted and detected by the camera 213 at the end of the support column 1, improving the stability and adaptability of the entire detection robot.

[0029] Among them, the number of driving blocks 26 is three, and the three driving blocks 26 are equidistantly distributed on the outer side of the screw rod 27. A threaded hole located on the outer side of the screw rod 27 is formed inside the driving block 26, and the threaded hole cooperates with the thread on the outer side of the screw rod 27. The driving block 26 is circular, enabling the rotating screw rod 27 to drive the driving block 26 to move horizontally and adjust on the screw rod 27.

[0030] In addition, the number of connecting rods 29 is nine, and the nine connecting rods 29 are grouped in threes and are equidistantly distributed in a ring on the outer side of the driving block 26, that is, three connecting rods 29 that are equidistantly distributed in a ring are fixed on each driving block 26.

[0031] Secondly, one end of the hinge block 23 close to the rotating rod 25 is fixedly connected with a slider that extends to the inside of the rotating rod 25. A sliding groove located on the outer side of the slider is formed on the outer side of the rotating rod 25, and the sliding groove is slidably connected with the slider. The slider is T-shaped, enabling the hinge block 23 to slide on the rotating rod 25 through the T-shaped slider without separating from the rotating rod 25.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 2-3 , at the other end of the support column 1 in this embodiment, a driving member 3 for driving the support column 1 is provided. The driving member 3 includes a driving motor 32. An installation groove 31 is formed at the other end of the support column 1, and the driving motor 32 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the installation groove 31. A support plate 37 that penetrates and extends to the inner side of the installation groove 31 is slidably connected to the outer side of the support column 1. A rotating shaft 35 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the support plate 37. A support block 39 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the installation groove 31. A telescopic rod 33 that penetrates the support block 39 is rotatably connected to the support block 39. A first bevel gear 34 that meshes with each other is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod 33 and the outer side of the rotating shaft 35 respectively. A second bevel gear 310 that meshes with each other is fixedly connected to the other end of the telescopic rod 33 and the output shaft of the driving motor 32 respectively. A stopper 38 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support plate 37, and a support spring 311 is fixedly connected between the stopper 38 and the support column 1.

[0033] In this embodiment, after starting the driving motor 32 to drive the second bevel gear 310 on its output shaft to rotate, while driving the telescopic rod 33 to rotate, the rotating shaft 35 is driven to rotate through the first bevel gear 34 at the end of the telescopic rod 33, thereby driving the driving wheel 36 to rotate to drive the support column 1.

[0034] Among them, the number of support plates 37 is four, and the four support plates 37 are symmetrically distributed in pairs, up and down, on the support column 1. A support hole that communicates with the installation groove 31 at one end and is located on the outer side of the support plate 37 is formed on the outer side of the support column 1, enabling the support plate 37 passing through the support column 1 to slide in the support hole.

[0035] In addition, the telescopic rod 33 is composed of a sleeve rod, a connecting spring and a sliding rod. The sleeve rod is rotatably connected to the support block 39 through a bearing. The sliding rod is slidably connected to the inside of the sleeve rod. The connecting spring is fixedly connected between the inside of the sleeve rod and the end of the sliding rod. The sliding rod is cross-shaped. The telescopic rod 33 is located between each group of support plates 37. The rotating shaft 35 is also rotatably connected between each group of support plates 37. And at least two driving wheels 36 are fixed on each rotating shaft 35 to laterally drive the entire support column 1.

[0036] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows:

[0037] Since the rotating rod 25 can be lifted or pulled by the laterally moving driving block 26 through the connecting rod 29 and the hinge block 23 to rotate in the through hole 28, it can be adjusted according to the inner diameter of the municipal pipeline. And the support column 1 is stably supported on the inner wall of the municipal pipeline by nine annularly distributed support wheels 24. The picture is detected through the camera 213 at the end of the support column 1, which improves the stability and adaptability of the entire detection robot. And since the support plate 37 can slide at the other end of the support column 1, when it fits with the inner wall of the pipeline, the compressed support spring 311 can lift the driving wheel 36 to closely fit with the inner wall of the pipeline. After the close fit, by starting the driving motor 32 to drive the second bevel gear 310 on its output shaft to rotate, while driving the telescopic rod 33 to rotate, the first bevel gear 34 at the end of the telescopic rod 33 drives the rotating shaft 35 to rotate, thereby driving the driving wheel 36 to rotate to drive the support column 1.
