DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the embodiments of the present disclosure are described in more detail below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments. It is noted that the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the described embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without any inventive effort fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.
[0026] As shown in the accompanying Figure 1 to the accompanying Figure 5 Embodiments of the pipeline robot provided by the utility model for open road processing of pipeline running, facilitate the pipeline robot running in the pipeline, can clean the impurities and sludge outside the wheels 12, prevent the wheels 12 from being stuck. The existing pipeline robot can move its position by rotating the wheels 12 on the frame 11, and can patrol and protect the pipeline at different positions. By arranging the middle ship-shaped structure of the robot main body 1, the robot main body 1 can break the sludge through the front end of the structure, facilitate the robot main body 1 to move more flexibly in the pipeline, increase the smoothness of the pipeline patrol of the robot main body 1, and the end of the robot main body 1 is provided with a vibration motor 2, and a poking assembly 3 is arranged on the front side of the robot main body 1. Through the transmission work of the vibration motor 2, the vibration force can be transmitted to the poking assembly 3, so that the poking assembly 3 cooperates with the vibration motor 2, and the poking assembly 3 vibrates to facilitate the sludge in the pipeline to be pushed away; in order to improve the winding impurities or clogging sludge at the wheels 12 when the pipeline robot main body 1 moves, a cleaning assembly 5 can be arranged on the outside of the wheels 12, the cleaning assembly 5 includes a plurality of cutting laminations 53 for rotation, and the winding impurities on the wheels 12 can be cut through the rotation of the plurality of cutting laminations 53 on the wheels 12, and the external sludge can be cleaned, realizing the cleaning and protection of the outside of the wheels 12.
[0027] Wherein, it is worth mentioning that, by applying the power driving technology of the existing vibration motor 2, the power output end of the vibration motor 2 is connected with a hitting end 21, the hitting end 21 is driven to rotate by the vibration motor 2, so that the hitting end 21 can hit the poking assembly 3 by using the rotating force, so that the poking assembly vibrates, increases the gap between the poking assembly and the sludge, and facilitates the poking assembly 3 to push the sludge to both sides, provides kinetic energy for the rapid pushing of the sludge.
[0028] Wherein, it is worth mentioning that, as Figure 1 and 2As shown, in some embodiments, the dialing assembly 3 includes a mounting box 31 arranged on the robot body 1, two force receiving pieces 33 are arranged in the mounting box 31, and the two force receiving pieces 33 are symmetrically arranged outside the robot body 1. The shape of the two force receiving pieces 33 matches the shape of the middle part of the boat-shaped robot body 1, so as to form a V-shaped structure. The mounting box 31 is arranged at the middle part of the two force receiving pieces 33, so that the mounting box 31 can preferentially contact the sludge and more conveniently break the sludge layer, thereby increasing the sludge cleaning rate of the pipeline robot.
[0029] Further, as shown in Figure 2 and 3 , the end of the mounting box 31 away from the robot body 1 can be provided with a top block 32. The top block 32 can be triangular in structure, which facilitates reducing the stress area of the end of the mounting box 31, so that the sludge can be broken more quickly, thereby providing favorable conditions for opening the pipeline. In order to facilitate the vibration of the force receiving piece 33 to quickly push away the sludge, a transition end 34 can be arranged at the end of the force receiving piece 33 close to the mounting box 31, thereby increasing the smoothness between the force receiving piece 33 and the mounting box 31. The force receiving disc is made of elastic metal material, and a plurality of buffer air bags 35 are arranged between the force receiving piece 33 and the robot body 1, thereby providing favorable conditions for the vibration of the force receiving piece 33. The force receiving piece 33 can be vibrated by the vibration motor 2, and the structure and material of the force receiving piece 33 can also be used to provide favorable conditions for the elastic connection between the force receiving piece 33 and the robot body 1, thereby improving the opening effect of the force receiving piece 33 and more efficiently pushing away the sludge, thereby facilitating the inspection work of the pipeline robot.
[0030] In order to better clean the sludge in the wheels 12, as shown in Figure 4 , a movable ball 41 can be arranged at the end of the frame 11 close to the wheels 12. A sleeve seat 42 that cooperates with the movable ball 41 for movement is arranged outside the movable ball 41, and the sleeve seat 42 is fixedly connected with the wheels 12. When the wheels 12 are rotating, the use of the movable ball 41 and the sleeve seat 42 can increase the flexibility of the connection between the frame 11 and the wheels 12, thereby buffering and protecting the wheels 12 and facilitating the use of the cleaning assembly 5 on the wheels 12, thereby improving the cleaning effect.
[0031] In some embodiments, the cleaning assembly 5 can use a protective cover 51 to protect the outside of the wheels 12. As shown in Figure 5 , the cleaning assembly 5 includes a protective cover 51 fixedly arranged on the hub of the wheels 12. A rotating motor 52 connected with the wheels 12 is fixedly arranged in the protective cover 51. The rotating motor 52 is fixedly connected with a plurality of cutting laminations 53 through the power output end of the rotating motor 52, so that the rotating motor 52 can drive the plurality of cutting laminations 53 to rotate, thereby cleaning the impurities close to the wheels 12.
[0032] In order to clean the impurities more quickly, as shown inFigure 5 and 6 As shown in the figure, the cutting stack 53 is connected with the power output end of the rotating motor 52 by the connecting rod 531, so that the rotating motor 52 can be conveniently driven to rotate, then, two symmetrically distributed blades 532 are arranged outside the connecting rod 531, and a sharp part 533 in the form of a blade edge is arranged on the outer edge of the blade 532, so that the two blades 532 can clean the impurities entering or approaching, and can isolate the external sludge, prevent the impurities on the wheel 12 from being retained, avoid the wheel 12 from being stuck, provide favorable conditions for the work of the pipeline robot, and can protect the wheel 12.
[0033] Of course, the above is the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present application.
