The torsion spring 34 can make the connecting arms 31 on both sides abut against the inner wall of the steel pipe, so that the driving wheel 33 has sufficient friction on the inner wall of the steel pipe to ensure that the robot can move forward; the rust removal mechanism is arranged behind the wheel hub assembly; the battery 5 is respectively connected to the driving motor 32 and the control component, and the control component is used to control the movement of the driving motor 32 and the rust removal mechanism; the control component includes an ambient light sensor 2 and a single-chip microcomputer 4, and the single-chip microcomputer 4 serves as a control mainboard and is respectively connected to the battery 5 and the ambient light sensor 2. It can control the power supply of the battery 5 to the rust removal mechanism and the drive motor 32; the ambient light sensor 2 is arranged at the top of the shell 1 and is located on the side away from the rust removal mechanism. The ambient light sensor 2 is arranged at the top of the shell 1. When the robot is turned on, the ambient light sensor 2 first detects the surrounding light perception. The ambient light sensor 2 transmits the data back to the single-chip microcomputer 4. The single-chip microcomputer 4 controls the movement of the rust removal mechanism according to the preset light perception threshold. When the robot is placed inside the steel pipe, the light perception data is reduced to within the preset light perception range.
