Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline flaw detection robot technology, and in particular to a spiral carbon fiber centrifugal driven pipeline flaw detection robot. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing prevalence of the pipeline industry, pipeline inspection technology is also developing rapidly. Currently, manual pipeline inspection is not only dangerous but also inefficient. Existing pipeline inspection robots are mostly ill-suited to pipes of different sizes, often requiring multiple equipment changes during inspection, and cannot achieve omnidirectional inspection; their travel speed is also not freely adjustable. Therefore, we decided to develop a new type of pipeline inspection robot that can adapt to various environments, especially handling the variability in pipe size and application scenarios, thereby effectively improving the efficiency and quality of pipeline inspection.

[0026] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. Example

[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the spiral carbon fiber centrifugal driven pipeline flaw detection robot includes a blunt-shaped unit, a detection unit, a viewing window unit, and a power unit.

[0028] The blunt unit includes a device front end 1, which has a blunt streamlined structure. A camera is installed inside the device front end 1, and a connection component for connecting to the detection unit is installed at the tail end of the device front end 1.

[0029] The detection unit includes an internally rotatable disc equipped with ultrasonic testing and a small electromechanical component located inside the front end 1 of the device.

[0030] The viewing unit includes a device viewing portion 2 disposed at one end of the device front end 1, an X-ray flaw detection component and an infrared flaw detection component disposed inside the device viewing portion 2, and flange connection portions disposed on both sides of the device viewing portion 2.

[0031] The power unit includes a device movement part 3 located at one end of the device window portion 2, and a yaw motor is installed inside the device movement part 3.

[0032] One end of the device window 2 is connected to the front end 1 of the device via a flange connection, and the other end of the device window 2 is connected to the moving part 3 of the device via a flange connection. The device window 2 can be assembled and disassembled with the front and rear connecting parts.

[0033] The specific structure of the flange connection consists of flanges installed on both sides of the connection port, a flange gasket installed in the middle, and bolts for fastening the flanges.

[0034] The outer surface of the moving part 3 of the device is threaded, and the moving part 3 of the device is driven by the rotation of the eccentric motor.

[0035] The eccentric motor drives the robot to rotate in a spiral motion and move forward inside the pipe. It has a simple structure and is suitable for single pipe inspection.

[0036] By changing the rotation direction of the eccentric motor, the probe robot can slow down or return when it encounters an insurmountable obstacle.

[0037] The eccentric motor of the power unit includes a motor 4 that provides overall power, a swing arm 5 fixedly connected to the top of the motor 4, a counterweight 6 fixedly connected to the side of the swing arm 5, and a rolling bearing set at the top of the swing arm 5.

[0038] The material of the front end 1 of the device in the blunt unit is silicone rubber coating.

[0039] The silicone rubber coating provides high elasticity to buffer impact energy, reducing internal impact. It is also flexible, not prone to cracking or peeling, and has good stability, making it adaptable to various environments.

[0040] The robot's outer shell is made of aluminum bottle wrapped with carbon fiber.

[0041] The outer shell is made of aluminum cylinders wrapped with carbon fiber. Aluminum has a low density, which effectively reduces the overall weight of the robot, making it more flexible during operation and reducing energy consumption.

[0042] The detachable flange structure on both sides of the viewing window unit makes it easy to remove bolts to replace the testing instrument as needed, and also facilitates the inspection of whether the camera inside the front end 1 of the device is damaged, thus improving the convenience of maintenance and inspection.

[0043] By using the eccentric motor assembly of the power unit as the driving device, it rotates within the closed pipe. The forward rotation generates thrust, which assists the spiral to move forward, thus solving the problem of insufficient power during the testing process.

[0044] The device's moving part 3 solves problems such as inadequate detection and insufficient contact that cause the device to slip, and its adaptability is better than that of robots already on the market.

[0045] In terms of materials, the front end of the device uses silicone rubber coating, which, due to its high elasticity and flexibility, can effectively buffer collision energy and reduce internal impact. Furthermore, silicone rubber coating has good chemical stability, is corrosion-resistant, and is suitable for various environments.

[0046] Viewing window: Made of UTG ultra-thin flexible glass, its main components are silicon dioxide and other oxides. It has the characteristics of high hardness, good transparency, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance, and can be used in high temperature and corrosive pipeline environments.

[0047] Outer shell: A composite structure of aluminum cylinder wrapped with carbon fiber is used. Aluminum has low density and good processing performance, which helps to reduce weight and energy consumption; carbon fiber has high strength and corrosion resistance, which enhances structural strength and rigidity. This composite structure not only improves the stability of the machine body, but also optimizes thermal management to ensure stable operation in different temperature environments. In the spiral structure model, rubber is selected as the material to reduce damage to the pipeline during movement.

[0048] By changing the swing direction of the eccentric motor, the probe robot can slow down or return when it encounters an insurmountable obstacle.

[0049] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
