Description

At present, pipeline robots are mainly used to check pipeline integrity, find leakage points and blockage positions, and also clean blockages to ensure pipeline unobstructed. Because the pipe diameters of pipelines are inconsistent, pipeline robots need to have the function of changing diameter to cope with pipelines of different diameters. In the prior art, pipeline robots usually need motor drive to realize diameter adjustment, which not only increases the complexity and energy consumption of the system, but also leads to a large overall weight, affecting the operation flexibility in narrow or complex pipeline environments.
