Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of small-diameter pipeline inspection technology, specifically an adjustable spiral-driven small-diameter pipeline robot. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing public awareness of the safety and environmental protection of small-diameter natural gas pipelines, safety inspections, especially leak detection, of these pipelines are becoming increasingly important. In actual inspections, there are numerous small-diameter pipelines with a nominal diameter of DN25 or less, with complex connection methods. Furthermore, due to the extremely limited space, inspection equipment cannot easily access the inside of the pipelines, posing potential safety hazards.

[0003] Currently, most pipeline robots need to drag cables to move forward when inspecting pipelines. The cables dragging on the ground will be rubbed against the pipe wall for a long time, which may damage the insulation and cause leakage, thus damaging the inspection robot. In addition, traditional small-diameter pipeline robots are not easy to turn and adjust, which reduces the efficiency of pipeline inspection. Therefore, an adjustable spiral-driven small-diameter pipeline robot is needed to improve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example: Please refer to Figures 1-4 An adjustable spiral-driven small-diameter pipe robot is shown, including a main body 1, an adjustment rotation component 2 fixedly connected to the top of the main body 1, and a detection component 3 rotatably connected to the top of the adjustment rotation component 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the adjusting rotation assembly 2 includes a carrier box 201, inside which a second motor 203 is installed. A second rotating wheel 204 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 203. A second transmission wheel 205 is meshed with the side of the second rotating wheel 204. A second rotating rod 207 is fixedly connected inside the second transmission wheel 205. The detection assembly 3 includes a control box 301, on which a detector body 303 is mounted. An electrical control box 304 is fixedly connected to the side of the control box 301. A mounting plate 305 is fixedly connected inside the electrical control box 304. A signal receiving module 3 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate 305. 06. The command execution unit 307, the filtering unit 308, and the storage unit 309 control the first motor 103 and the second motor 203 remotely. The remote control terminal converts the control signal into a radio wave signal and then sends it out through the remote control antenna. The signal receiving module 306 receives these radio wave signals and converts them into current signals. Then, the command execution unit 307 controls the start of the first motor 103 and the second motor 203, thereby enabling remote and automated adjustment of the robot's steering and movement, thus avoiding cable dragging and reducing the safety and efficiency of the inspection.

[0027] The carrier box 201 has two handle slots 202 on its side. A searchlight 302 is fixedly connected to the side of the control box 301. A connecting top seat 208 is fixedly connected to the top of the second rotating rod 207. A second bearing seat 206 is fixedly connected inside the carrier box 201. The second rotating rod 207 extends into the second bearing seat 206. The signal receiving module 306, command execution unit 307, filtering unit 308, and storage unit 309 are all electrically connected. The second rotating wheel 204 and the second transmission wheel 205 are driven by the second motor 203 to rotate. This causes the second rotating rod 207 to rotate the connecting top seat 208, thereby allowing the entire detection assembly 3 on the top of the connecting top seat 208 to be rotated and adjusted. This not only expands the detection range of the detector body 303 on the pipeline, but also allows for repeated detection of the pipeline path after detection by the detector body 303 to ensure the accuracy of the detection data.

[0028] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the main body 1 includes a base frame 101. A mounting box 102 is fixedly connected inside the base frame 101. A first motor 103 is installed inside the mounting box 102. A first rotating wheel 104 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 103. A belt 105 is provided on the side of the first rotating wheel 104. A first transmission wheel 106 is provided inside the belt 105. A first bearing seat 108 is fixedly connected inside the base frame 101. A first rotating rod 107 is rotatably connected inside the first transmission wheel 106. The first rotating rod 107 extends to the first bearing seat 108. Inside the base frame 101, a first moving wheel 109 is provided on the side. A first rotating rod 107 extends into the interior of the first moving wheel 109. A connecting rod 110 is fixedly connected to the side of the base frame 101. A second moving wheel 111 is provided on the side of the connecting rod 110. By starting the first motor 103, the transmission mechanism composed of the first rotating wheel 104, the belt 105 and the first transmission wheel 106 can be driven to rotate. This can drive the first rotating rod 107 to rotate, thereby causing the first moving wheel 109 to drive the entire equipment to move automatically, increasing the detection efficiency.

[0029] In this solution, an adjustable spiral-driven small-diameter pipeline robot is used to control the first motor 103 and the second motor 203 via remote control. The remote control terminal converts the control signal into a radio wave signal and then transmits it through the remote control antenna. The signal receiving module 306 receives these radio wave signals and converts them into current signals. Then, the command execution unit 307 controls the rotation of the first motor 103 and the second motor 203. The start of the first motor 103 enables the transmission mechanism composed of the first rotating wheel 104, the belt 105, and the first transmission wheel 106 to drive the first rotating rod 107 to rotate, thereby causing the first moving wheel 109 to drive the entire device to move automatically. The second motor 203 drives the second rotating wheel 204 and the second transmission wheel 205 to mesh and rotate, thereby causing the second rotating rod 207 to drive the connecting top seat 208 to rotate. This allows the entire detection component 3 on the top of the connecting top seat 208 to be rotated and adjusted, thereby expanding the detection range of the detector body 303.
