AI Technical Summary
Existing natural gas pipeline inspection devices move unevenly within the pipeline wall, resulting in missed or repeated areas in the inspection results. Furthermore, their positioning accuracy is insufficient, affecting the accuracy of crack location. Conventional methods, such as guide wheels or brushes, are prone to wear and are costly.
The ultrasonic crack inspector uses a drive wheel and movable arm structure inside its housing. By adjusting the rotation angle of the movable arm and using spring compression support, the device can move in close contact with the inner wall of the pipe. Combined with the motor-driven wheels and walking tracks, the stability of movement and positioning accuracy are improved.
This technology enables the natural gas pipeline inspection device to move stably on the inner wall of the pipeline, avoiding slippage, improving the accuracy and positioning precision of the inspection, and reducing device wear and cost.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to natural gas pipeline detection technical field relates to a natural gas pipeline detection device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the existing natural gas pipeline crack detection technology, the detection device has several shortcomings in moving on the inner wall of the pipeline. First, the movement of the detection device may not be uniform, resulting in missing or repeated areas in the detection results, which is mainly due to the irregularity inside the pipeline, uneven friction caused by sediment or fouling, and the limitations of the device's own driving mechanism. Second, when the detection device moves in a long-distance pipeline, it may encounter a problem of insufficient positioning accuracy, which may cause deviation between the detection data and the actual position, affecting the accuracy of crack positioning.
[0003] The conventional coping methods include using guide wheels or brushes to improve the movement performance of the device on the inner wall of the pipeline to improve the positioning accuracy. However, these methods also have disadvantages. The guide wheels or brushes may reduce the effect due to wear and tear, and may not work effectively in pipelines with sediment, and the cost is relatively high, so there is an urgent need for a natural gas pipeline detection device to solve the above problems.

[0012] As a preferred implementation, the right side of the transmission shaft is provided with a wheel body for cooperating with the driving wheel to rotate, and the wheel body and the driving wheel are provided with a walking track for improving the walking friction of the natural gas pipeline to be detected. When the device moves inside the natural gas pipeline to be detected, the corresponding walking track is driven by the driving wheel and the wheel body to walk along the inner wall of the natural gas pipeline to be detected, so as to prevent sliding during movement and cause movement difficulty.
