After the pipelines are laid in the main pipeline corridor, branch pipelines also enter the branch pipeline corridor.

[0003] When personnel inspect the pipeline system in the underground pipeline corridor, if the pipelines are laid in layers, it is very inconvenient for personnel to repair or inspect the upper steam pipeline due to the obstruction of the lower water pipeline. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In some embodiments, the escalator further includes a skirting board arranged perpendicular to the escalator steps to prevent people from stepping on empty space and falling.

[0007] In some embodiments, the wheels are provided with self-locking devices.

[0008] In some embodiments, the automatic reminder sound is provided with a light sensor for sensing the light emitted by the sound and light lighting lamp.

[0009] In some embodiments, a sign with automatic light reflection function is also included.

[0010] In some embodiments, the sound and light lighting and the automatic prompt sound are both installed on the ceiling.

[0017] Various exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of components and steps, numerical expressions and numerical values set forth in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0018] The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is merely illustrative in nature and is in no way intended to limit the present disclosure, its application, or uses.

[0019] Technologies, methods, and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the technologies, methods, and equipment should be considered part of the specification.

[0020] In all examples shown and discussed herein, any specific values should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not limiting. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the pipeline inspection auxiliary device includes a saddle-shaped pedestrian platform for supporting people to inspect steam pipelines, an audio-visual lighting lamp 7 for emitting light when sound is detected, and an automatic prompt sound 9 for emitting a prompt voice based on the light;

[0022] The pedestrian platform includes an escalator 1, wheels 2, and a walkway platform 5; the escalator includes escalator pedals 3 for supporting people to walk to the walkway platform, and escalator handrails 23 for people to hold on to. The bottom of the escalator is provided with wheels for moving the pedestrian platform.

[0023] In some embodiments, the escalator further includes a skirting board 4 arranged perpendicular to the escalator steps to prevent people from stepping on empty space and falling.

[0024] In some embodiments, the wheels are provided with self-locking devices.

[0025] In some embodiments, the automatic reminder sound is provided with a light sensor 8 for sensing the light emitted by the sound and light lighting lamp.

[0026] In some embodiments, a reminder sign 6 with an automatic light reflection function is also included.

[0027] In some embodiments, the sound and light lighting and the automatic prompt sound are both installed on the ceiling 10.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, in the case of a through passage, the lower layer is laid with water pipes, and the upper layer is laid with steam pipes. Please note that there is enough space between the lower layer of water pipes and the upper layer of steam pipes to accommodate the walkway platform of this solution and the walkway platform handrail set at a certain height.

[0029] In this embodiment, the specific application scenarios of this pipeline inspection auxiliary device are: three main water pipelines and three branch water pipelines, which are lower-layer pipelines; three main steam pipelines and three branch steam pipelines.

[0030] Normally, inspectors can easily inspect the three main water pipes and three branch water pipes on the lower level by standing directly on the ground. However, repairing the steam pipe on the upper level is more difficult. Because the water pipes on the lower level obstruct the inspection, it is difficult for inspectors to complete the inspection of the upper steam pipes without auxiliary equipment.

[0031] The inspector lifts one end of the platform, then passes this end over the first, second, and third water pipes 17, 18, and 19, making minor adjustments to the platform's fixed position before locking the wheels with the self-locking device. The first water pipe 17 connects to the first main water pipe 11, the second water pipe 18 connects to the second main water pipe 12, and the third water pipe 19 connects to the third main water pipe 13.

[0032] When inspectors walk from the escalator steps to the walkway platform, the kickboard further ensures their safety, preventing them from stepping on empty space and falling. Inspectors can also walk along the escalator steps to the walkway platform, holding onto the escalator handrail, to inspect the steam pipes on the upper level. The steam pipes on the upper level include the first main steam pipe 14, the second main steam pipe 15, the third main steam pipe 16, the first branch steam pipe 20, the second branch steam pipe 21, and the third branch steam pipe 22. The first main steam pipe 14 is connected to the first branch steam pipe 20, the second main steam pipe 15 is connected to the second branch steam pipe 21, and the third main steam pipe 16 is connected to the third branch steam pipe 22.

[0033] During the walking process, the patrol personnel can make a loud sound to light up the sound and light lamp. The light emitted by the sound and light lamp triggers the automatic prompt sound to emit a safety reminder sound through the light sensor. At the same time, the reminder sign installed on the third steam pipe 22 emits a conspicuous light under the light of the sound and light lamp, so that the patrol personnel can see the words "Be careful of hitting your head", making the patrol personnel more careful. The visual reminder of the patrol personnel to pay attention to safety is equivalent to reminding the patrol personnel to pay attention to safety from both visual and auditory dimensions.

[0034] Although some specific embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail through examples, those skilled in the art will understand that the above examples are for illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments may be modified without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. The scope of the present disclosure is defined by the appended claims.
