[0027] 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 the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model. Embodiment 1

[0028] Referring to Figure 1-3 , this embodiment provides a magnetic flux leakage internal detection device for oil and gas pipeline defects, including an equipment housing 1, a self-adjusting structure, a linkage structure, and a cleaning structure. A plurality of self-adjusting structures are arranged on the outer side wall of the equipment housing 1. Rotating rods 16 are rotatably connected to both outer side walls of the equipment housing 1. A magnetic flux leakage detector body 24 is fixedly connected to one rotating rod 16, and a round block 25 is fixedly connected to the other rotating rod 16. A plurality of cleaning structures are arranged on the outer wall of the round block 25. The closer ends of the two rotating rods 16 penetrate the equipment housing 1 and are fixedly connected to driven gears 17. Linkage structures are arranged on both sides of the equipment housing 1 and close to the two driven gears 17. A battery 31 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the equipment housing 1.

[0029] Specifically, in this embodiment, the self-adjusting structure includes a round rod 8, a first connecting sleeve 9, a first slider 10, a first spring 11, a first connecting rod 12, a cylinder 13, a brushless motor 14 and a moving wheel 15. A plurality of first connecting sleeves 9 are fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the equipment housing 1. The first slider 10 is slidably connected inside the first connecting sleeve 9. One end of the first slider 10 close to the equipment housing 1 is fixedly connected to the round rod 8. A first spring 11 is arranged between the round rod 8 and the outer side wall of the equipment housing 1. One end of the first slider 10 away from the equipment housing 1 is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 12. One end of the first connecting rod 12 away from the equipment housing 1 is fixedly connected to the cylinder 13. Two brushless motors 14 are fixedly connected inside the cylinder 13. The output end of the brushless motor 14 is fixedly connected to the moving wheel 15.

[0030] The linkage structure includes a first rotating shaft 2, a sector connecting block 3, a linkage rod 4, a vertical rod 5, a sliding plate 6 and a hinge 7. Two first rotating shafts 2 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the equipment housing 1. Two sector connecting blocks 3 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 2. The linkage rod 4 is rotatably connected to the sector connecting block 3. Vertical rods 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the two first rotating shafts 2 in the equipment housing 1. Two sliding plates 6 are slidably connected to the vertical rods 5. One end of the sliding plate 6 close to the first rotating shaft 2 is fixedly connected to the hinge 7. The hinge 7 is rotatably connected to the linkage rod 4. One end of the sliding plate 6 away from the first rotating shaft 2 is fixedly connected to the round rod 8.

[0031] When the device is used to detect the magnetic flux leakage defects of the oil and gas pipeline, the brushless motor 14 is controlled to drive a plurality of moving wheels 15 to rotate, so as to drive the equipment housing 1 to move in the pipeline. When the equipment housing 1 moves to a section of the pipeline with an inward contraction, the moving wheels 15, the cylinder 13, the first connecting rod 12 and the first slider 10 will move towards the equipment housing 1. At this time, a plurality of first springs 11 are compressed and deformed. When the equipment housing 1 moves to other pipeline sections with different diameters later, a plurality of moving wheels 15 will always be in contact with the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline under the action of the plurality of first springs 11, so that the device can perform various pipeline detections without replacing or adjusting the equipment when the diameter of the pipeline changes, significantly improving the versatility and adaptability of the device. When the equipment housing 1 moves to a section of the pipeline with an inward contraction, the first slider 10 will drive the round rod 8 to move into the equipment housing 1, and then drive the sliding plate 6 and the hinge 7 to move towards the first rotating shaft 2. With the mutual cooperation of the hinge 7, the linkage rod 4 and the sector connecting block 3, the first rotating shaft 2 is driven to rotate. Through the interaction of the round rod 8, the sliding plate 6, the hinge 7, the linkage rod 4 and the sector connecting block 3, the magnetic flux leakage detector body 24 can be kept at the center position of the oil and gas pipeline when the equipment housing 1 moves to different diameter sections, reducing the measurement error caused by the deviation of the equipment from the center and ensuring the consistency and accuracy of the data. Embodiment 2

[0032] Referring to Figure 4-6 , this embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The difference from the previous embodiment is that the cleaning structure includes a second connecting sleeve 26, a second spring 27, a second slider 28, a second connecting rod 29, and a cleaning brush 30. Two second connecting sleeves 26 are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the outer wall of the round block 25. A second spring 27 is fixedly connected inside the second connecting sleeve 26. A second slider 28 is slidably connected inside the second connecting sleeve 26. One end of the second slider 28 close to the round block 25 is fixedly connected to the second spring 27. One end of the second connecting rod 29 away from the round block 25 is fixedly connected to the cleaning brush 30. The cleaning brush 30 is arc-shaped. Inside the equipment housing 1 and on both sides close to the two first rotating shafts 2, limiting plates 18 are fixedly connected. Second rotating shafts 19 are rotatably connected to the ends of the two limiting plates 18 away from each other. Driving gears 20 are fixedly connected to the ends of the two second rotating shafts 19 away from each other. The driving gears 20 are meshed with the driven gears 17. One end of each of the two first rotating shafts 2 close to each other penetrates through the limiting plate 18 and is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear 21. A servo motor 22 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the equipment housing 1. A second bevel gear 23 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 。

[0033] When the equipment housing 1 moves in the oil and gas pipeline, detection is carried out by the magnetic flux leakage detector body 24. During the detection process, the servo motor 22 can be started. The servo motor 22 drives the second bevel gear 23 to rotate. With the meshing of the two first bevel gears 21 and the second bevel gear 23, the two second rotating shafts 19 and the driving gears 20 are driven to rotate. With the meshing of the driving gears 20 and the driven gears 17, the two rotating rods 16 are driven to rotate, so that the magnetic flux leakage detector body 24 rotates during the detection process to perform a more comprehensive detection of the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline. At the same time, the other rotating rod 16 drives the round block 25 to rotate, and then drives the two cleaning brushes 30 to clean the inner wall of the oil and gas pipeline. Through the mutual cooperation of the second spring 27, the second slider 28, and the second connecting rod 29, the cleaning brush 30 can clean pipelines with different diameters to improve the applicability of the device.
