Description

[0003] Although the pipeline dredging robot on the market plays an important role in oil and gas pipeline maintenance, its application range has significant limitations, i.e. it can only be applied to a specific diameter of pipeline, which seriously limits the application range and flexibility of the dredging robot. Specifically, the diameters of different oil and gas pipelines are quite different, and the existing dredging robots are often optimized for a specific diameter of pipeline during design, which makes it difficult to adapt to other diameter of pipeline. Once encountering a pipeline with different diameter, the robot may not enter smoothly, or even if it enters, it cannot effectively carry out dredging operation, thereby greatly reducing the dredging efficiency and effect. In addition, with the continuous expansion and updating of oil and gas pipeline network, the diameter specification of new pipeline may also change. If the dredging robot cannot adapt to these changes, different robot models need to be developed for different diameter of pipeline, which undoubtedly increases the research and production cost, and also brings inconvenience to pipeline maintenance work.
