Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline detection devices, in particular to a mobile detection device in a drainage pipe. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of urban infrastructure, the health of the drainage system is directly related to the daily quality of life of urban residents and environmental protection. With the acceleration of urbanization, the drainage pipe network is becoming increasingly complex, and its management and maintenance difficulty is also increasing. Traditional drainage pipe inspection methods, such as manual downhole inspection or the use of simple inspection tools, have many limitations and safety hazards. Manual inspection is not only inefficient, but also extremely difficult and dangerous for personnel in deep, narrow or toxic and harmful pipeline environments. Simple inspection tools often cannot fully and accurately reflect the actual conditions inside the pipeline, resulting in frequent problems such as missed inspections and misjudgments.

[0003] In recent years, with the rapid development of sensor technology, machine vision technology and automated control technology, new solutions have been provided for drainage pipe detection. Some drainage pipe detection devices based on remote-controlled vehicles or robots have appeared on the market. These devices can move autonomously inside the pipe and collect internal pipe information in real time through the sensors and cameras they carry.

[0004] However, this type of mobile detection device is a fixed structure when in use, and the corresponding detection component is completely fixedly installed on the corresponding vehicle body. It has the disadvantage that it cannot or is not convenient to remove from the vehicle body. At this time, this type of vehicle-based detection component can only be moved along horizontal pipes for detection operations. When encountering vertical pipes, the detection component cannot be directly removed from the vehicle body and then inserted into the vertical pipe for detection operations, which affects its convenience and brings inconvenience to users. In view of this, we propose a mobile detection device for drainage pipes. Utility Model Content
