Detailed implementation mode

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present utility model clearer and more understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] In one embodiment, as Figures 1-7 shown, the lighting device for a pipeline robot includes a pipeline robot 11 and a lighting lamp 48. A fixing bracket 12 is fixedly installed at the front end of the pipeline robot 11. A fixing groove 13 is opened at the upper end of the fixing bracket 12. A fixing block 14 is slidably installed inside the fixing groove 13 and fixed by bolts. The front end of the fixing block 14 is fixedly connected to an adjusting bracket 15;

[0033] It further includes a height adjustment structure, which is arranged inside the adjusting bracket 15 and is used to adjust the height position of the lighting lamp 48;

[0034] An up-and-down deflection structure, which is arranged at the front end of the height adjustment structure and is used to adjust the up-and-down deflection angle of the lighting lamp 48;

[0035] A left-and-right deflection structure, which is arranged at the front end of the up-and-down deflection structure and is used to adjust the left-and-right deflection angle of the lighting lamp 48.

[0036] In this embodiment, first, the fixing block 14 is slidably installed into the fixing groove 13 and fastened by bolts. The height adjustment structure is used to adjust the position of the lighting lamp 48 in the vertical direction. This can be flexibly adjusted according to the pipeline diameter, obstacle height or specific operation requirements. The up-and-down deflection structure enables the lighting lamp 48 to deflect up and down within a certain range. This helps to adjust the lighting angle in the complex environment inside the pipeline to ensure the lighting effect. Through the action of the left-and-right deflection structure, the lighting lamp 48 deflects in the horizontal direction. This further enhances the flexibility of the lighting device and can adjust the lighting direction according to needs.

[0037] In one embodiment, as Figures 3-4 shown, the height adjustment structure includes an adjustment motor 17, the adjustment motor 17 is installed at the upper end of the adjustment frame 15, the output end of the adjustment motor 17 extends into the inner cavity of the adjustment frame 15 and is fixedly connected to an adjustment screw 18, the outer wall of the adjustment screw 18 is threadedly connected to an adjustment block 20, the outer wall of the adjustment block 20 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the adjustment frame 15, and the front end of the adjustment block 20 is fixedly connected to a mounting seat 21.

[0038] By rotating the adjustment motor 17, the rotation direction and rotation speed of the adjustment screw 18 can be precisely controlled, thereby driving the adjustment block 20 to move up and down within the adjustment frame 15. This design enables the height position of the lighting lamp 48 to be finely adjusted as needed to meet the lighting requirements under different pipe diameters or working scenarios.

[0039] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, the up-and-down deflection structure includes a mounting seat 21, the rear end of the mounting seat 21 is fixedly connected to the adjustment block 20, an installation block 22 is rotatably installed inside the mounting seat 21, a driving motor 23 is installed at the right end of the mounting seat 21, the output end of the driving motor 23 extends into the inside of the mounting seat 21 and fixedly installs the installation block 22, a first installation groove 24 is formed at the front end of the installation block 22, and a first fitting block 25 is fixedly installed inside the first installation groove 24 through bolts.

[0040] By rotating the driving motor 23, the installation block 22 can be driven to deflect up and down inside the mounting seat 21. This design enables the lighting lamp 48 to adjust its up-and-down irradiation angle as needed to better illuminate specific areas or obstacles inside the pipe.

[0041] In one embodiment, as Figures 5-6 shown, the left-and-right deflection structure includes a first fitting block 25, the first fitting block 25 is fixedly installed inside the first installation groove 24 through bolts, the front end of the first fitting block 25 is fixedly connected to a rotating seat 26, a rotating motor 27 is installed at the upper end of the rotating seat 26, the output end of the rotating motor 27 extends into the inside of the rotating seat 26 and is fixedly connected to a rotating ear 28, the rotating ear 28 is rotatably installed inside the rotating seat 26, and a locking component is arranged below the rotating seat 26.

[0042] By rotating the rotating motor 27, the rotating ear 28 can be driven to deflect left and right inside the rotating seat 26. This design enables the lighting lamp 48 to adjust its left-and-right irradiation angle as needed to better illuminate specific areas or obstacles inside the pipe.

[0043] In one embodiment, as Figure 6As shown, the locking assembly includes a rotating disk 29, which is located below the rotating seat 26. The rotating disk 29 is fixedly connected to a rotating ear 28 through a rotating rod. A plurality of lock holes 30 are equiangularly formed at one end of the rotating disk 29. A push rod cavity is formed inside the rotating seat 26, and an electric push rod 31 is installed inside the push rod cavity. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 31 extends below the rotating seat 26 and is fixedly connected to a connecting plate 32. One end of the connecting plate 32 away from the electric push rod 31 is fixedly connected to a lock rod 33 that matches the lock holes 30.

[0044] Through the telescopic action of the electric push rod 31, the lock rod 33 can accurately insert into or withdraw from the lock holes 30 on the rotating disk 29. When the lock rod 33 inserts into the lock holes 30, the rotating disk 29 and the rotating ear 28 and the lighting lamp 48 connected thereto are firmly locked in the current position, preventing the change of the deflection angle caused by external factors.

[0045] In one embodiment, as Figures 5-7 shown, a rotating block 34 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating ear 28. A second installation groove 35 is formed at the front end of the rotating block 34. A second matching block 36 is fixedly installed inside the second installation groove 35 through bolts. A connecting block 37 is fixedly connected to the front end of the second matching block 36. A slot 38 is formed at the front end of the connecting block 37. An insertion block 46 is installed inside the slot 38. The lighting lamp 48 is fixedly connected to the front end of the insertion block 46.

[0046] Since the rotating ear 28 is connected to the rotating motor 27, when the rotating motor 27 rotates, it will drive the rotating ear 28 and the entire lighting lamp installation structure connected thereto to deflect left and right. This design enables the lighting lamp 48 to adjust its left and right irradiation angles as needed to better illuminate specific areas or obstacles inside the pipeline.

[0047] In one embodiment, as Figure 7 shown, moving grooves 39 are symmetrically formed on the left and right inner walls of the slot 38. Spring grooves 40 are symmetrically formed inside the second matching block 36. The moving grooves 39 are communicated with the spring grooves 40 inside. A moving rod 44 is installed inside the moving grooves 39 and the spring grooves 40. A limiting block 41 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the moving rod 44. The limiting block 41 is slidably installed inside the spring groove 40. One end of the limiting block 41 is fixedly connected to a return spring 42. The other end of the return spring 42 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the spring groove 40. One end of the moving rod 44 close to the slot 38 is fixedly connected to a lock block 45. The lock block 45 is slidably installed inside the moving groove 39. The other end of the moving rod 44 extends to the outer wall of the connecting block 37 and is fixedly connected to a pull plate 43. Lock ports 47 that match the lock blocks 45 are symmetrically formed on the left and right outer walls of the insertion block 46.

[0048] When the insertion block 46 is fully inserted into the slot 38, pulling the pull plate 43 drives the moving rod 44 to move outwards of the slot 38, thereby causing the locking block 45 to slide within the moving slot 39. At this time, the locking block 45 will enter the locking opening 47 on the insertion block 46, achieving the locking between the insertion block 46 and the slot 38. This design ensures that the lighting lamp will not accidentally fall off due to vibration or external force after installation. When it is necessary to disassemble or replace the lighting lamp, simply operate the pull plate 43 in the reverse direction, causing the moving rod 44 to move inwards of the slot 38, thereby driving the locking block 45 to withdraw from the locking opening 47. At this time, the locking between the insertion block 46 and the slot 38 is released, and the insertion block 46 can be conveniently pulled out for subsequent operations.

[0049] In one embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, adjustment sliders 19 are symmetrically and fixedly arranged on the outer walls on the left and right sides of the adjustment block 20, and adjustment slots 16 matching the adjustment sliders 19 are symmetrically formed in the left and right sides inside the adjustment frame 15.

[0050] The sliding of the adjustment slider 19 within the adjustment slot 16 is subject to certain constraints, which helps to maintain the stability of the adjustment block 20 during movement and prevent it from shaking or shifting due to external forces.

[0051] The above-mentioned embodiment discloses a lighting device for a pipeline robot. Among them, first, the fixed block 14 is slidably installed into the fixed slot 13 and fastened with bolts. The adjustment motor 17 drives the adjustment screw rod 18 to rotate, thereby driving the adjustment block 20 to move up and down within the adjustment frame 15, so as to achieve the position adjustment of the lighting lamp 48 in the vertical direction. The driving motor 23 drives the mounting block 22 to deflect up and down inside the mounting seat 21, thereby adjusting the up and down irradiation angle of the lighting lamp 48. The rotation motor 27 drives the rotation ear 28 to deflect left and right inside the rotation seat 26. The locking assembly (including the rotating disk 29, the locking hole 30, the electric push rod 31, the locking rod 33, etc.) ensures that the lighting lamp can be stably locked after being adjusted to the required angle. The locking mechanism between the insertion block 46 and the slot 38 (realized through the moving rod 44, the locking block 45, the return spring 42, etc.) ensures the stability of the lighting lamp after installation.

[0052] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present application can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
