Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline inspection technology, specifically a wireless pipeline video inspection robot. Background Technology
[0002] Pipeline inspection refers to the comprehensive examination of pipelines using various technologies and tools to detect and assess damage, corrosion, deformation, and other issues, ensuring the safe operation of the pipeline system. The main purpose of pipeline inspection is to prevent and reduce pipeline accidents and ensure the safety and reliability of the pipeline system.
[0003] The patent with publication number CN220337836U discloses a wireless pipeline video inspection machine, which includes an inspection robot body and an operating remote control. The inspection robot body is provided with an inspection power box on its top, and a rotating shaft is provided at the end of the inspection power box. The device is equipped with five cameras, which can inspect the pipeline from various directions. The cameras are installed and fixed by electric telescopic rods, and the distance between them and the pipeline can be adjusted to ensure the clarity of the video inspection.
[0004] However, this device relies on the cooperation of anti-slip tracks and auxiliary support wheels in the main support frame to enable the inspection robot to move inside the pipe. During the camera inspection process, the smoothness of the robot's movement is also an important criterion for ensuring the accuracy of the inspection results. However, this inspection robot does not have a pipe cleaning mechanism. This means that if there are hard debris such as stones or dirt at the bottom of the pipe to be inspected, it is easy to cause the inspection robot to shake or even tip over, thus affecting the pipe inspection process. To address this issue, a wireless pipe video inspection robot is proposed to solve the problem that existing inspection robots are easily blocked and shaken by debris inside the pipe, which affects the inspection process. Utility Model Content
[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a wireless pipeline video inspection robot, which solves the aforementioned problems.
[0007] (II) Technical Solution
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a wireless pipeline video inspection robot, comprising a wireless inspection robot body, a drive wheel at the bottom of the wireless inspection robot body, a fixed plate fixedly connected to one side of the wireless inspection robot body, a U-shaped frame fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the fixed plate, a driven shaft and a drive shaft arranged in the inner cavity of the U-shaped frame, multiple cleaning brushes fixedly connected to the outer rings of the driven shaft and the drive shaft, a motor fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the U-shaped frame, gears fixedly connected to the outer rings of one side of the driven shaft and the drive shaft, an inspection mechanism arranged on one side of the wireless inspection robot body, limit stabilization mechanisms arranged at both ends of the wireless inspection robot body, and flexible baffles fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom of the wireless inspection robot body.
[0009] Preferably, the cleaning brush plates on the driven shaft and the drive shaft are fixed staggered on the outer ring, and the bristles on the bottom cleaning brush plate are much lower than the bottom of the drive wheel.
[0010] Preferably, the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the drive shaft, the driven shaft and the gear on the drive shaft mesh, and the drive shaft rotates counterclockwise when the motor starts.
[0011] Preferably, the detection mechanism includes a T-shaped groove formed on one side of the wireless detection robot body, a T-shaped seat slidably disposed in the inner cavity of the T-shaped groove, and an electric push rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the T-shaped seat.
[0012] Preferably, a second motor is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the T-shaped seat, a turntable is rotatably arranged on one side of the T-shaped seat, a detection camera is arranged on the outer ring of the turntable, and the output shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to the turntable.
[0013] Preferably, the limiting and stabilizing mechanism includes a U-shaped frame that is tilted and fixed at both ends of the wireless inspection robot body, and an adjustment plate is slidably arranged on the inner walls of both sides of the U-shaped frame, the adjustment plate being connected by a connecting plate.
[0014] Preferably, the top of the connecting plate is provided with a rubber guide wheel, which is rotatably connected by a rotating shaft, and the inner cavity of the U-shaped frame is provided with a second electric push rod, which is fixedly connected to the connecting plate.
[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0016] 1. This wireless pipeline video inspection robot, when placed into the pipeline to be inspected, has its cleaning brush bristles pressed against the cavity wall near the bottom of the pipe. At this time, the motor inside the U-shaped frame is turned on, and the gears meshing on the outer ring of the drive shaft and driven shaft drive multiple staggered fixed cleaning brushes to brush the debris at the bottom of the pipe to both ends, which is blocked by flexible baffles, preventing the debris from affecting the movement of the robot. This solves the problem that existing inspection robots are easily blocked and bumped by debris in the pipeline, affecting the inspection process.
[0017] 2. When the main body of the wireless pipeline video inspection robot is moved into the pipeline to be inspected, the second electric push rod in the U-shaped frame, together with the adjustment plate, can drive the connecting plate to move towards the pipe wall. This causes the rubber guide wheel connected to the rotating shaft on the connecting plate to move and flexibly press against the pipe wall, thereby supporting and limiting the main body of the wireless inspection robot from both ends, further improving the stability of the inspection robot during the inspection process.

[0023] 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.
[0024] Example: Please refer to Figure 1-4A wireless pipeline video inspection robot includes a wireless inspection robot body 1, a drive wheel 2 at the bottom of the wireless inspection robot body 1, a fixed plate 3 fixedly connected to one side of the wireless inspection robot body 1, a U-shaped frame 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the fixed plate 3, a driven shaft 5 and a drive shaft 6 arranged in the inner cavity of the U-shaped frame 4, multiple cleaning brushes 7 fixedly connected to the outer ring of the driven shaft 5 and the drive shaft 6, a motor 8 fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the U-shaped frame 4, gears 9 fixedly connected to the outer ring of one side of the driven shaft 5 and the drive shaft 6, an inspection mechanism 10 arranged on one side of the wireless inspection robot body 1, a limit stabilizing mechanism 11 arranged at both ends of the wireless inspection robot body 1, and flexible baffles 12 fixedly connected to both ends of the bottom of the wireless inspection robot body 1.
[0025] Furthermore, the cleaning brush plates 7 on the driven shaft 5 and the drive shaft 6 are staggered and fixed on the outer ring, and the bristles on the bottom cleaning brush plate 7 are much lower than the bottom of the drive wheel 2.
[0026] Furthermore, the output shaft of motor 8 is fixedly connected to drive shaft 6, and the gear 9 on driven shaft 5 and drive shaft 6 meshes. When motor 8 starts, drive shaft 6 rotates counterclockwise. Through the staggered cleaning brush plate 7 with bristles adhering to the cavity wall near the bottom of the pipe, in conjunction with motor 8, drive shaft 6 and driven shaft 5, debris on the travel path of the inspection robot is cleaned to both sides and blocked by flexible baffle 12, ensuring the stability of this wireless pipeline video inspection robot during movement.
[0027] Furthermore, the testing mechanism 10 includes a T-shaped groove 101 formed on one side of the wireless testing robot body 1, a T-shaped seat 102 slidably disposed in the inner cavity of the T-shaped groove 101, and an electric push rod 103 fixedly connected to the bottom of the T-shaped seat 102.
[0028] Furthermore, a second motor 104 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the T-shaped seat 102. A turntable 105 is rotatably mounted on one side of the T-shaped seat 102. A detection camera 106 is mounted on the outer ring of the turntable 105. The output shaft of the second motor 104 is fixedly connected to the turntable 105. During the movement of the wireless inspection robot body 1, the T-shaped seat 102 and the turntable 105 in the T-slot 101 can be moved to the center of the pipe in conjunction with the electric push rod 103. Then, the second motor 104 can drive the turntable 105 and the detection camera 106 to rotate, which facilitates a comprehensive inspection of the pipe wall.
[0029] Furthermore, the limiting and stabilizing mechanism 11 includes a U-shaped frame 111 that is tilted and fixed at both ends of the wireless inspection robot body 1. Adjustment plates 112 are slidably arranged on the inner walls of both sides of the U-shaped frame 111, and the adjustment plates 112 are connected by connecting plates 113.

When the wireless inspection robot body 1 moves into the pipe to be tested, the second electric push rod 116 in the U-shaped frame 111 can be used in conjunction with the adjusting plate 112 to drive the connecting plate 113 to move towards the pipe wall. This causes the rubber guide wheel 114 connected to the rotating shaft 115 on the connecting plate 113 to move to flexibly press against the pipe wall, thereby supporting and limiting the wireless inspection robot body 1 from both ends, further improving the stability of the inspection robot during the inspection process.
[0031] Working principle: When using this wireless pipeline video inspection robot, the main body 1 of the wireless inspection robot is moved into the pipeline to be inspected by controlling the drive wheel 2. At this time, the bristles on the cleaning brush 7 are pressed and adhered to the cavity wall near the bottom of the pipe. At the same time, the motor 8 in the U-shaped frame 4 is turned on. With the help of the gear 9 meshing on the outer ring of the drive shaft 6 and the driven shaft 5, multiple staggered fixed cleaning brushes 7 can be driven to brush the debris at the bottom of the pipe to both ends. The debris is blocked by the flexible baffle 12, which prevents the debris from affecting the movement of the robot. This solves the problem that existing inspection robots are easily blocked and bumped by debris in the pipeline, which affects the inspection process.
