The mobile trolley 1 is equipped with a detection head 5 for detecting defects on the inner surface of the pipe. The detection head 5 is electrically connected to a control unit located on the outside of the pipe via a connecting cable 51. Notably, the detection head 5 can be an ultrasonic probe, an eddy current probe, or other sensors suitable for detecting defects in metallic materials, capable of acquiring real-time data about the pipe surface. The data on the inner wall is analyzed by the built-in data acquisition and processing unit to check for defects such as corrosion and cracks. A fixed frame 6 is installed on the rear side of the mobile trolley 1 via a connecting rod 11. A rotating shaft 60 is rotatably installed on the upper part of the fixed frame 6 and a turntable 7 is connected to it. The diameter of the turntable 7 is smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe. Cleaning brushes 71 are evenly spaced on the circumferential outer wall of the turntable 7. The cleaning brushes 71 contact and cooperate with the inner wall of the pipe. When the mobile trolley 1 moves in the inner cavity of the pipe, the cleaning brushes 71 move and clean the inner wall of the pipe. Through the relative movement of the cleaning brushes 71 on the inner wall of the pipe, dirt, rust or other debris on the inner wall of the pipe are removed, thereby providing a strong guarantee for the detection of defects on the inner surface of the pipe, reducing the false alarm rate, and extending the service life of the pipe.
