Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of robot inspection technology, and specifically relates to a pipeline robot inspection device. Background Technology
[0002] The existing method for dynamic inspection of pipeline robots generally involves transferring the pipeline robot to different real-world environments for multiple tests. While this method can more comprehensively and accurately reflect the condition of the pipeline robot when facing different working environments, it also consumes a lot of time in the process of transferring the pipeline robot to different test environments, ultimately reducing the inspection efficiency.
[0003] Therefore, existing technologies need to be improved and developed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pipeline robot inspection device that solves the problems of long testing time and low efficiency of existing pipeline robot dynamic testing methods. By integrating multiple testing environments into one device through simulation, unnecessary time consumption is reduced, thereby improving inspection efficiency.
[0005] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a pipeline robot inspection device, including a control panel. The control panel is provided with a power interface for connecting to a cable of a pipeline robot to supply power to the pipeline robot. It also includes a dynamic testing unit located on one side of the control panel. The dynamic testing unit includes a housing for loading fluid and the pipeline robot. The housing is provided with multiple rollers, which are spaced apart in a front-back direction. The rollers are used to support the pipeline robot and can roll under the drive of the pipeline robot.
[0006] The pipeline robot inspection equipment provided by this utility model uses a housing to simulate different real-world environments to dynamically test the pipeline robot. Users do not need to repeatedly move the pipeline robot, reducing unnecessary time waste and effectively improving inspection efficiency.
[0007] Furthermore, the enclosure is connected to a lifting device, which is used to drive the enclosure to tilt to the horizontal plane to form a ramp.
[0008] Furthermore, the roller is detachably connected to the housing.
[0009] The detachable connection makes it easy for users to clean or replace the rollers.
[0010] Furthermore, the housing is detachably connected to the lifting device.
[0011] The detachable connection makes it easy for users to clean or replace the cabinet.
[0012] Furthermore, guardrails are provided on both the front and rear sides of the box, which are used to prevent the pipeline robot from moving in the front-to-back direction.
[0013] The guardrail prevents the pipeline robot from accidentally veering out of the enclosure, thus protecting the pipeline robot and the inspection equipment.
[0014] Furthermore, the guardrail is provided with pads, which are used to absorb the impact force when the pipeline robot collides with the guardrail.
[0015] Furthermore, the pad is made of an elastic material.
[0016] Furthermore, the pad is made of rubber or silicone.
[0017] Furthermore, the control panel is also equipped with a camera, which is directed toward the housing and used to photograph the pipeline robot located inside the housing.
[0018] Furthermore, the control panel is also equipped with an X-ray detection device, which faces the housing and is used to irradiate the pipeline robot located inside the housing.
[0019] As can be seen from the above, the pipeline robot inspection equipment of this utility model has a dynamic testing section set on one side of the control panel to simulate a variety of different actual environments, thereby integrating the testing environment into one device. This effectively avoids wasting a lot of time due to the need to move the pipeline robot multiple times during the testing process, thus achieving the goal of improving testing efficiency.

[0029] It should be noted that the "front-back direction" mentioned below is an appendix. Figure 1 The arrows are for reference.
[0030] Reference Appendix Figure 1 This utility model provides a pipeline robot inspection device, including a control panel 100, which is provided with a power interface for connecting to a pipeline robot 200 via a cable to supply power to the pipeline robot 200. It also includes a dynamic testing unit 300 located on one side of the control panel 100. The dynamic testing unit 300 includes a housing 310 for loading fluid and the pipeline robot 200, and the housing 310 is provided with multiple rollers 330. The multiple rollers 330 are arranged at intervals in the front-back direction. The rollers 330 are used to support the pipeline robot 200 and can roll under the drive of the pipeline robot 200.
[0031] In this embodiment, during practical application, the user can pour fluid into the chamber 310, such as sewage to simulate urban pipelines, or muddy water to simulate industrial pipelines. The user can change the test environment inside the chamber 310 as needed. After preparing the test environment, the pipeline robot 200 is placed inside the chamber 310 and the power is turned on, thereby controlling the pipeline robot 200 to move back and forth. At this time, the roller 330 rolls in place under the drive of the pipeline robot 200, thereby controlling the pipeline robot 200 to keep moving in place within the chamber 310, thus simulating the working conditions of the pipeline robot 200 under different working environments. The entire test process does not require moving the pipeline robot, thus avoiding unnecessary time waste and effectively improving test efficiency.
[0032] In some embodiments, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 1 The housing 310 is connected to a lifting device 320, which is used to drive the housing 310 to tilt to the horizontal plane to form a ramp, thereby simulating the working conditions of the pipeline robot 200 on an inclined road surface (such as uphill and downhill).
[0033] In some embodiments, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 1The roller 330 is detachably connected to the housing 310. The detachable connection includes, but is not limited to, screw connection, snap connection, key connection, pin connection, etc. The detachable connection method makes it convenient for users to clean or replace the roller 330.
[0034] In some embodiments, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 1 The housing 310 is detachably connected to the lifting device 320. The detachable connection includes, but is not limited to, screw connection, snap connection, key connection, pin connection, etc. The detachable connection method makes it convenient for users to clean or replace the housing 310.
[0035] In some embodiments, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 1 The front and rear sides of the housing 310 are equipped with guardrails 340. The guardrails 340 are used to prevent the pipeline robot 200 from moving in the front and rear direction. When the pipeline robot 200 stalls, the guardrails 340 can prevent the pipeline robot 200 from accidentally rushing out of the housing 310, thereby protecting the pipeline robot 200 and the testing equipment.
[0036] In some embodiments, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 1 The guardrail 340 is equipped with pads 341, which are used to absorb the impact force when the pipeline robot 200 collides with the guardrail 340.
[0037] In some embodiments, the pad 341 is made of an elastic material.
[0038] In some embodiments, the pad 341 is made of rubber or silicone.
[0039] In some embodiments, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 1 The control panel 100 is also equipped with a camera 110, which faces the housing 310 and is used to capture images of the pipe robot 200 located inside the housing 310.
[0040] In practical applications, camera 110 is used to scan and confirm the pipeline robot 200 and record information to ensure the uniqueness and accuracy of the detection. At the same time, during the test, the actions of the pipeline robot 200 are recorded and photographed and uploaded to the control panel 100 for inspection using a preset algorithm. The algorithm judges whether the pipeline robot 200 meets the finished product inspection standards (e.g., insufficient height, insufficient straightness, incomplete execution, speed mismatch, uncontrollable brightness, unclear image, etc.) based on features such as distance, height, shape, and brightness.
[0041] In some embodiments, reference is made to the appendix. Figure 1The control panel 100 is also equipped with an X-ray inspection device 120. The X-ray inspection device 120 faces the housing 310 and is used to irradiate the pipeline robot 200 located inside the housing 310. The X-ray inspection device 120 is used to inspect the inside of the pipeline robot 200, thereby detecting internal defects.
[0042] In some embodiments, the control console 100 is also equipped with an aging detection device (not shown). This device performs aging detection on the pipeline robot 200, enabling continuous operation and monitoring. When different faults occur during the aging process, corresponding operations are executed. For example, if a general fault occurs, the fault is recorded and aging continues; if a serious fault occurs, aging stops and resumes after the user replaces or repairs the faulty component; if a fatal fault occurs, aging stops and is restarted after the pipeline robot 200 is inspected and re-tested. After the aging detection is completed, the cable between the control console 100 and the pipeline robot 200 is disconnected, and the relevant mechanisms controlled through the control console 100 are reset, thus enabling a new round of testing for the next pipeline robot 200.
