Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe wall cleaning, and in particular to a pipe dredging robot. Background Technology
[0002] With urban development, more and more debris accumulates on the roads. When rainfall is heavy, this debris enters the sewers with the rainwater, causing blockages. Traditional dredging methods rely on manual labor using simple tools, which is not only inefficient but also labor-intensive. For long pipes that are inaccessible to some people, mechanical excavation using dredging trucks is necessary, but this method is inefficient and incomplete. Therefore, it is necessary to design a device that can make municipal pipeline dredging more intelligent, safe, and effective to address the shortcomings of existing solutions. Utility Model Content

The upper end of the front shovel is equipped with an underwater light, underwater sonar, and an underwater camera. Bearing wheels are mounted on the outside of the main frame. A Z-cylinder seat and a cross hinge are rotatably mounted on the outside of the main frame. A Z-hydraulic cylinder is mounted on the outside of the Z-cylinder seat, and the power end of the Z-hydraulic cylinder is rotatably connected to the outside of the cross hinge. A Y-cylinder seat is fixedly connected to the outside of the cross hinge. A front shovel seat is fixedly connected to the outside of the front shovel and rotatably connected to the cross hinge. The Y-cylinder seat and the front shovel seat are connected via a Y-hydraulic cylinder.
[0005] Preferably, a lifting ring is fixedly installed on the upper end of the main frame.
[0006] Preferably, a protective plate is fixedly installed on the main frame at the outer position of the bearing wheel.
[0007] Preferably, the Z hydraulic cylinder is fixedly mounted on the Z cylinder seat.
[0008] Preferably, the Y hydraulic cylinder is movably connected to the Y cylinder seat and the front shovel seat.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects;
[0010] The municipal pipeline dredging robot designed in this utility model adopts a single track drive and effectively reduces the overall size of the structure, making it convenient for the robot to enter municipal pipelines. With the help of the underwater lights, underwater sonar and camera structure on the outside, the dredging robot can safely drive in the pipeline. The transmission structure enables the front shovel to swing left, right and up and down to clean the inner wall of the pipeline. At the same time, the cleaned sludge is transported to the rear by the hydraulic track, realizing effective pipeline dredging operation. The practical effect is obvious and it is worth promoting and using in the existing market. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0021] Reference Figure 1-5 A pipeline dredging robot includes a main frame 16, a front shovel 3, and hydraulic tracks 4 mounted on the outside of the main frame 16. The front shovel 3 has a drain pipe 15 connecting to its inner cavity at its upper end, and is also equipped with an underwater light 1, an underwater sonar 2, and an underwater camera 14. Bearing wheels 7 are mounted on the outside of the main frame 16. A Z-cylinder seat 8 and a cross hinge 10 are rotatably mounted on the outside of the main frame 16. A Z-hydraulic cylinder 9 is mounted on the outside of the Z-cylinder seat 8, with its power end rotatably connected to the outside of the cross hinge 10. A Y-cylinder seat 12 is fixedly connected to the outside of the cross hinge 10. A front shovel seat 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the front shovel 3 and rotatably connected to the cross hinge 10. The Y-cylinder seat 12 and the front shovel seat 13 are connected via a Y-hydraulic cylinder 11. The Z-hydraulic cylinder 9 is fixedly mounted on the Z-cylinder seat 8, and the Y-hydraulic cylinder 11 is movably connected to both the Y-cylinder seat 12 and the front shovel seat 13.
[0022] Based on the above structure, the robot in this device is equipped with an underwater light 1, an underwater sonar 2, and an underwater camera 3 above the front shovel 3. The above electrical components transmit pipeline information to the display screen above. The operator can remotely operate the existing robot to carry out the work according to the actual cleaning inside the municipal pipeline. The machine base is driven by hydraulic tracks 4 and bearing wheels 7. Its front shovel 3 can swing left, right, up and down. When the Z hydraulic cylinder 9 on the outside of the Z cylinder seat 8 extends and retracts, it drives the cross hinge 10 to make the robot's front shovel 3 move up and down. When the Y hydraulic cylinder 11 on the Y cylinder seat 12 extends and retracts, it drives the front shovel seat 13 to make the front shovel 3 swing left and right. Since there is only one hydraulic track 4, when the robot needs to turn, it must first control the Z hydraulic cylinder 9 to make the front shovel hit the ground, and then control the Y hydraulic cylinder 11 to turn the front shovel at a certain angle. Repeating this action several times can complete the turning, similar to the front shovel of an excavator hitting the ground to make the front part of the machine lift off the ground, and then turning the front shovel to change the direction of the machine, which is convenient for the robot to work inside the pipeline.
[0023] The main frame 16 is fixedly equipped with a lifting ring 5 at its upper end, which facilitates the traction of the robot.
[0024] Among them, the main frame 16 is fixedly installed with a guard plate 6 on the outside of the bearing wheel 7 to prevent the bearing wheel 7 from being stuck in the pipe by domestic garbage, which would cause inconvenience to driving.
[0025] The above embodiments are preferred embodiments of the present utility model, but the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited to the above embodiments. Any changes, modifications, substitutions, combinations, or simplifications made without departing from the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be considered equivalent substitutions and shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms indicating orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
