[0031] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Reference Figure 1-8 The present invention provides an embodiment of a water pressure pipe inspection device equipped with a valve opening and closing device, comprising:

[0033] Multiple water pipes are fixedly connected at adjacent ends and can be used for urban water supply, irrigation systems and industrial water supply.

[0034] A guide rail 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the inner cavity of multiple water pipes. In order to control the water flow rate and facilitate the repair and replacement of damaged water pipes, an opening and closing valve needs to be installed between two adjacent water pipes to control the water flow rate inside the water pipes. Since the opening and closing valve requires a certain space when in use, in order not to hinder the operation of the opening and closing valve, a certain distance needs to be maintained between the two adjacent water pipes so that the opening and closing valve can be opened or closed normally.

[0035] A plurality of movable plates 5 are provided at the bottom of one of the guide rails 2 along the laying direction of the water pipes, and movable parts for their own movement are provided on the outside of the plurality of movable plates 5. The movable parts can provide power for the movement of the movable plates 5, so that the movable plates 5 can move back and forth along the guide rail 2 inside the chamber formed by the plurality of water pipes.

[0036] The inspection equipment 1 is slidably installed at the bottom of multiple movable plates 5, and the outside of the inspection equipment 1 is provided with a support member for supporting itself. The movable plate 5 can support the inspection equipment 1 through the support member. When the inspection equipment 1 is needed to inspect the water pipe, the inspection equipment 1 can be moved through the support member, which is conducive to the inspection equipment 1 to shuttle back and forth inside multiple water pipes.

[0037] The inspection equipment 1 mainly detects the water pipe through ultrasonic and infrared rays (such as the water flow conditions inside the water pipe, corrosion and aging of the inner wall of the pipe, etc., and then transmits the detection results to the ground receiving end via radio. The receiving end can fully grasp the internal conditions of the water pipe by analyzing the received information. This is an existing technology and will not be elaborated on here).

[0038] The plurality of slides 10 are staggered between the plurality of movable plates 5, and a sliding groove is provided at one end of one of the two adjacent movable plates 5 close to the slide 10, and one end of the slide 10 is slidably installed in the inner cavity of the sliding groove, and the other end of the slide 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the other movable plate 5. The connection of the plurality of movable plates 5 can be achieved through the plurality of slides 10. When the movable plate 5 located at the front end of the moving direction starts to move along the guide rail 2 through the moving part, the slide 10 connected to the front end movable plate 5 moves accordingly. At this time, the other end of the slide 10 moves inside the sliding groove opened at one end of the other movable plate 5, and the plurality of movable plates 5 are moved in sequence by the moving parts, so as to increase the distance between the two adjacent movable plates 5 and keep the two adjacent movable plates 5 in a connected state at all times, thereby preventing the movable plate 5 located between the two adjacent guide rails 2 from falling off when one of the movable plates 5 moves to between the two adjacent guide rails 2 and is in a suspended state.

[0039] The moving parts include vertical plates 4 and guide wheels 3. Two vertical plates 4 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the top of multiple moving plates 5. A servo motor is fixedly installed on the side of the vertical plate 4 close to the guide rail 2. The guide wheel 3 is fixedly installed on the power output end of the servo motor. The outer wall of the guide wheel 3 and the inner wall of the guide rail 2 fit together. The guide rail 2 is set to an H-shaped structure, so that one end of the guide wheel 3 located on both sides of the moving plate 5 can extend to the inside of the guide rail 2, thereby supporting the guide wheel 3 through the guide rail 2 and allowing the guide wheel 3 to move along the guide rail 2 to prevent the moving plate 5 located directly below the guide rail 2 from falling.

[0040] A movable plate 5 is slidably installed at the bottom of the guide rail 2, and multiple vertical plates 4 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the top of the movable plate 5. The multiple vertical plates 4 are rotated by servo motors on the side close to the guide rail 2 and are installed with guide wheels 3. At the same time, the length of the movable plate 5 is greater than the distance between two adjacent guide rails 2. Figure 2 As shown, the distance between the two guide wheels 3 located at the head and tail ends is greater than the distance between the adjacent ends of the two adjacent guide rails 2. When the movable plate 5 moves through the guide wheels 3, multiple guide wheels 3 can successively cross the two adjacent guide rails 2 to prevent the movable plate 5 from falling off when passing through the two adjacent guide rails 2.

[0041] When it is necessary to inspect the inside of the water pipe, first, the four servo motors on the top of the moving plate 5 at the front end of the moving direction rotate simultaneously. At this time, the four guide wheels 3 connected to the power output ends of the four servo motors rotate simultaneously, thereby realizing the movement of the moving plate 5 at the front end of the moving direction. When the moving plate 5 at the front end of the moving direction moves between the two guide rails 2 and is in a suspended state, the four servo motors just above the moving plate 5 adjacent to the suspended state are started, and the moving plate 5 adjacent to the suspended state moves toward the moving plate 5 in the suspended state. The four guide wheels 3 on the top of the moving plate 5 in the suspended state rotate, and the outer wall of the slide plate 10 is rubbed by the inner wall of the sliding groove, causing the moving plate 5 adjacent to the suspended state to move toward the When the suspended movable plate 5 moves, the slide 10 between the two is in a stationary state, so that the distance between the two movable plates 5 remains unchanged until the outer wall of the guide wheel 3 on the top of the suspended movable plate 5 contacts the inner wall of the other guide rail 2, so that the movable plate 5 at the front end of the moving direction can enter the interior of the other guide rail 2. Through the mutual cooperation of multiple movable plates 5 and the slide 10, the connection between the two adjacent guide rails 2 can be achieved, so that the inspection equipment 1 can cross multiple guide rails 2 to the parts of the water pipe that need special inspection for inspection. The inspection efficiency is higher and it can better meet the use requirements. At the same time, it can be used on pipelines that do not have manual inspection conditions, and inspections can be carried out during water supply operation, which is more flexible to use.

[0042] The slide plate 10 is set to a T-shaped structure, and the large end of the slide plate 10 is slidably installed in the inner cavity of the sliding groove. The open end of the sliding groove is fixedly installed with a baffle for limiting the large end of the slide plate 10, preventing one end of the slide plate 10 between two adjacent movable plates 5 from detaching from the inside of the sliding groove when one of the movable plates 5 moves a longer distance, thereby limiting the movable distance of the movable plate 5, so that multiple movable plates 5 can always be in a state of being connected to each other.

[0043] The supporting members include a transverse plate 7 and a supporting wheel 11. The transverse plates 7 are symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the inspection device 1. The movable plate 5 is located between the two transverse plates 7. Multiple supporting wheels 11 are installed on the adjacent sides of the two transverse plates 7 to rotate along the moving direction of the inspection device 1. Guide rails 6 are fixedly installed on both sides of the multiple movable plates 5. The outer walls of the multiple supporting wheels 11 are in contact with the inner walls of the guide rails 6. Through the mutual cooperation of the two guide rails 6 and the multiple supporting wheels 11, the inspection device 1 can be supported to prevent the inspection device 1 from falling off the bottom of the movable plate 5. At the same time, under the action of the multiple supporting wheels 11, the inspection device 1 can be effectively prevented from shaking during the movement, thereby improving the stability of the inspection device 1 during the movement. At the same time, during the movement of the inspection device 1, the multiple supporting wheels 11 rotate at the same time, which effectively reduces the resistance of the inspection device 1 during movement and improves the smoothness of the movement of the inspection device 1.

[0044] A plurality of gears 9 are installed on the top of the inspection device 1 to rotate along its own moving direction, and a driving motor for rotating the plurality of gears 9 is fixedly installed inside the inspection device 1. A rack plate 8 that engages with the gears 9 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the plurality of movable plates 5. After the plurality of movable plates 5 move to the area to be inspected of the water pipe, the driving motor is started to rotate the plurality of gears 9 at the same time (one end of the plurality of gears 9 is connected by a chain, and the power output end of the driving motor is fixedly connected to one end of one of the gears 9. After the driving motor is started, the plurality of gears 9 can rotate synchronously). With the cooperation of the rack plate 8, the inspection device 1 is pushed to move, which is beneficial for the inspection device 1 to inspect the area of ​​the water pipe that needs to be inspected.

[0045] After the multiple movable plates 5 move to the area to be inspected on the water pipe, the servo motor is powered off. After the power is turned off, the servo motor locks the guide wheel 3 (the guide wheel 3 cannot rotate on its own) to prevent the inspection equipment 1 from applying thrust to the movable plate 5 when moving, causing the guide wheel 3 to rotate.

[0046] The distance between the two gears 9 at the head and tail is greater than the length of the skateboard 10. When the distance between the two movable plates 5 is at its maximum value (that is, when the large end of the skateboard 10 between the two adjacent movable plates 5 is in contact with the side wall of the baffle, the distance between the two adjacent movable plates 5 is at its maximum value), when the inspection equipment 1 crosses the skateboard 10 between the two adjacent movable plates 5, the gear 9 located at the front of the moving direction of the inspection equipment 1 disengages from the rack plate 8 located at the rear of the moving direction, and then, pushed by the gear 9 at the rear, it can cross the skateboard 10 and engage with the rack plate 8 in front, thereby realizing continuous movement of the inspection equipment 1.

[0047] The distance between the two gears 9 at the head and tail is less than the length of the rack plate 8. When the inspection equipment 1 moves to directly below one of the movable plates 5, multiple gears 9 can engage with the rack plate 8 at the same time, thereby improving the stability and smoothness of the movement of the inspection equipment 1.

[0048] The distance between the two support wheels 11 at the head and tail is greater than the length of the skateboard 10. When the inspection equipment 1 crosses the skateboard 10 between two adjacent movable plates 5, the support wheel 11 located at the front of the moving direction can move with the inspection equipment 1 from the inside of one guide rail 6 to the inside of another guide rail 6 until the support wheel 11 located at the rear of the moving direction is completely moved to the inside of the other guide rail 6, thereby preventing multiple support wheels 11 from detaching from the inside of the guide rail 6 and falling off when the inspection equipment 1 crosses the skateboard 10 between two adjacent movable plates 5.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
