Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline project quality inspection, and in particular to a pipeline project quality inspection device. Background Technology
[0002] In existing pipeline project quality inspections, the inspection methods are often quite limited, relying solely on visual inspection or simple physical methods. This approach only allows for a limited assessment of pipeline quality. For instance, visual inspection alone is insufficient to detect changes in the internal molecular structure, abnormal temperature distribution, and deep-seated internal defects, while simple physical inspections struggle to accurately identify minute cracks and coating damage on the pipeline surface. This results in an inability to comprehensively and accurately assess the pipeline's quality, easily overlooking potential quality hazards and posing risks to the safe operation of the pipeline.
[0003] Secondly, regarding environmental adaptability, existing testing equipment suffers significant performance degradation when faced with complex environments such as fog and dust within pipelines. For instance, images captured by cameras in foggy or dusty conditions become blurry, making it difficult for inspectors to accurately assess the actual conditions inside the pipeline. This can lead to blind spots or misjudgments, reducing the reliability of the testing. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pipeline project quality inspection device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A pipeline project quality inspection device includes a spectral module and a fog-penetrating lens mounted on a frame.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the frame is provided with a baffle, one end of which is connected to a second permanent magnet synchronous motor, and the output end of the second permanent magnet synchronous motor is connected to a bracket via a connecting rod.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the spectral module includes an infrared spectrometer and an ultraviolet spectrometer arranged alternately.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the baffle is provided with a glass lens, a groove is provided on the baffle, and a limiting plate is connected to the top of the groove.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a self-cleaning module is connected to the baffle. The self-cleaning module includes a scraper at one end of the glass lens, a main gear connected to the scraper, a fixing block connected to the main gear, and a slider connected to the fixing block through an arc-shaped tube.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a permanent magnet synchronous motor is connected to the frame. The output end of the permanent magnet synchronous motor is connected to a meshing gear via a connecting rod. A main gear meshes with the meshing gear, and the inner sidewall of the main gear rotates in contact with the outer sidewall of the baffle.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the inner wall of the groove and the outer wall of the slider slide in close contact.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the frame is equipped with an industrial high-definition camera, which is located at the end away from the glass lens.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, one end of the glass lens is in close contact with the scraper.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the frame is provided with an adaptive adjustment device, which includes an electric cylinder mounted on the frame. The output end of the electric cylinder is driven by a connecting plate through a piston rod. A servo motor is connected to the connecting plate, and the output end of the servo motor is connected to a rotating wheel through a connecting rod.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] 1. This utility model uses an infrared and ultraviolet spectrometer in the spectral module to detect pipeline quality from multiple dimensions. Multispectral detection is more accurate and reliable than a single method, providing a scientific basis for maintenance and management. The fog-penetrating lens can penetrate fog and dust to obtain clear images, avoiding blind spots and misjudgments caused by environmental interference. The industrial high-definition camera works in conjunction with the above two to form a multi-dimensional detection system, providing rich and intuitive data. The permanent magnet synchronous motor drives the bracket to rotate the spectral module and fog-penetrating lens, which can flexibly adjust the detection angle and fully cover the inner wall of the pipeline, avoiding omissions due to angle limitations and improving the comprehensiveness and efficiency of detection.
[0018] 2. This utility model achieves automatic self-cleaning by using a permanent magnet synchronous motor to drive meshing teeth via a connecting rod, which in turn drives the main gear and scraper. During the inspection process, dust, stains and other impurities in the pipeline may adhere to optical components (such as glass lenses), affecting the inspection results. This self-cleaning function can remove these impurities in a timely manner, keep the optical components clean, and ensure that the fog-penetrating lens and industrial high-definition camera can always obtain clear images. This reduces the workload and maintenance costs of manual cleaning, while also ensuring the accuracy and continuity of the inspection data.
[0019] 3. This utility model uses an electric cylinder to push a connecting plate through a piston rod, thereby adjusting the position of the servo motor and rotating wheel. This allows the detection device to automatically adjust according to changes in pipe diameter. The adaptive adjustment mechanism ensures that the device maintains a stable operating state in pipes of different diameters, guaranteeing the stability and accuracy of the detection process. Whether the pipe is thin or thick, the device can maintain a suitable distance and posture from the inner wall of the pipe, achieving efficient detection work and improving the versatility and applicability of the device.

[0037] One objective of this invention is to provide a pipeline project quality inspection device.
[0038] The permanent magnet synchronous motor 13 drives the bracket 2 via a connecting rod, which in turn drives the spectral module 3 and the fog-penetrating lens 4 to flexibly adjust the detection angle.
[0039] The permanent magnet synchronous motor 10 drives the connecting rod to make the meshing teeth 11 drive the main gear 12 and the scraper 5 to move, thus achieving self-cleaning;
[0040] The electric cylinder 6 uses a piston rod to push the connecting plate 7, adjusting the position of the servo motor 8 and the rotating wheel 9 to adapt to pipes of different diameters and ensure stable and accurate testing.
[0041] Example 1
[0042] See Figure 1-9 The spring mounting auxiliary tool provided in this embodiment includes a spectral module 3 and a fog-penetrating lens 4 mounted on the frame 1.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 6 or Figure 9 The frame 1 is equipped with a baffle 20, one end of which is connected to a permanent magnet synchronous motor 13. The output end of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 13 is connected to a bracket 2 via a connecting rod.
[0044] In a specific embodiment, a polarizing filter is added to the fog-penetrating lens (to eliminate interference from water mist scattering).
[0045] In this embodiment, the rotatable bracket 2 on the frame 1 is driven by a permanent magnet synchronous motor 13, which can flexibly adjust the angle of the spectral module 3 and the fog-penetrating lens 4, so that it can detect the inner wall of the pipe from all directions, covering all parts of the pipe, avoiding blind spots, and improving detection efficiency and comprehensiveness.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 8 Or 9, the spectral module 3 includes an infrared spectrometer and an ultraviolet spectrometer arranged in an alternating manner.
[0047] Please refer to Figure 9 The other end of the baffle 20 is provided with a glass lens 14, and a groove 15 is provided on the baffle 20. The top of the groove 15 is connected to a limit plate 16.
[0048] Please refer to Figure 2An industrial high-definition camera 19 is mounted on the frame 1, and the industrial high-definition camera 19 is located at the end away from the glass lens 14.
[0049] In this embodiment, the spectral module 3, the fog-penetrating lens 4, and the high-definition camera 19 are first connected to an external system for easy linkage and analysis. The spectral module 3, with its interleaved infrared and ultraviolet spectrometers, can inspect the pipeline from different spectral dimensions. The infrared spectrometer can detect the molecular structure information, temperature distribution, and presence of internal defects in the pipeline material; the ultraviolet spectrometer helps to detect micro-cracks and coating damage on the pipeline surface. The combination of these two instruments enables comprehensive and accurate inspection of pipeline quality, effectively identifying various potential quality hazards. The fog-penetrating lens 4 can effectively penetrate fog, dust, and other impurities inside the pipeline, ensuring clear images of the pipeline's interior even in complex environments. This provides inspectors with intuitive visual information, further improving the accuracy and reliability of the inspection. The industrial high-definition camera 19 can capture high-resolution images of the pipeline's interior. Combined with the spectral module 3 and the fog-penetrating lens 4, this forms a multi-dimensional inspection system, providing rich data support for accurately judging pipeline quality.
[0050] Example 2
[0051] Please refer to Figures 5-9 A self-cleaning module is connected to the baffle 20. The self-cleaning module includes a scraper 5 located at one end of the glass lens 14. A main gear 12 is connected to the scraper 5. A fixing block 17 is connected to the main gear 12. The fixing block 17 is connected to a slider 18 through an arc tube.
[0052] In a specific embodiment, the bottom of the slider 18 slides in close contact with the groove 15.
[0053] In this embodiment, the groove 15 on the baffle 20 and the limiting plate 16 connected to the top cooperate with the slider 18 to provide guidance and limiting for the movement of the device and the motion of the components. The inner sidewall of the groove 15 slides in contact with the outer sidewall of the slider 18, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the slider 18 during movement; the limiting plate 16 prevents the slider 18 from falling out of the groove 15, ensuring the structural integrity and operational safety of the device.
[0054] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 A permanent magnet synchronous motor 10 is connected to the frame 1. The output end of the permanent magnet synchronous motor 10 is connected to a meshing gear 11 through a connecting rod. A main gear 12 is meshed and driven on the meshing gear 11. The inner side wall of the main gear 12 is in contact with the outer side wall of the baffle 20 for rotation.
[0055] Please refer to Figure 9The inner wall of the groove 15 and the outer wall of the slider 18 slide in contact.
[0056] Please refer to Figures 7-9 One end of the glass lens 14 is in close contact with the scraper 5.
[0057] In this embodiment, the scraper 5 in the self-cleaning module is in close contact with the glass lens 14. First, the permanent magnet synchronous motor 10 drives the meshing gear 11 to rotate. When the main gear 12 rotates under the transmission of the meshing gear 11, it drives the scraper 5 to move on the surface of the glass lens 14, which can remove dust, stains and other impurities on the glass lens 14 in time, keep the lens clean, ensure that the fog-penetrating lens 4 and the industrial high-definition camera 19 obtain clear images, avoid the detection effect due to lens contamination, extend the service life of the device, and reduce maintenance costs. After the fog-penetrating lens 4 is connected to the external system, the fog-penetrating lens 4 first takes a picture of the glass lens 14, and then transmits it to the external system for analysis to see if cleaning is needed. The external system then automatically starts the permanent magnet synchronous motor 10 to clean.
[0058] Example 3
[0059] Please refer to Figure 4 The frame 1 is equipped with an adaptive adjustment device, which includes an electric cylinder 6 mounted on the frame 1. The output end of the electric cylinder 6 is driven by a connecting plate 7 through a piston rod. A servo motor 8 is connected to the connecting plate 7. The output end of the servo motor 8 is connected to a rotating wheel 9 through a connecting rod.
[0060] In this embodiment, after connecting the defogging lens 4 to the external system, the lens 4 first images the pipeline, then transmits the image to the external system for analysis. The external system then adaptively adjusts the electric cylinder 6, connecting plate 7, servo motor 8, and rotating wheel 9 within the device to automatically adjust the position and orientation of the device according to the pipeline's diameter and internal structure. The electric cylinder 6 pushes the connecting plate 7 via its piston rod, thereby adjusting the positions of the servo motor 8 and rotating wheel 9, enabling the device to better adapt to pipelines of different diameters and ensuring the stability and accuracy of the detection process. Simultaneously, the servo motor 8 drives the rotating wheel 9 to rotate, facilitating the device's movement within the pipeline and enhancing its flexibility and adaptability.
[0061] The working principle of the pipeline project quality inspection device provided in this embodiment is as follows:
[0062] First, based on the diameter of the pipe to be inspected, the electric cylinder 6 is activated. The electric cylinder 6 pushes the connecting plate 7 via its piston rod, causing the servo motor 8 and rotating wheel 9 on the connecting plate 7 to adjust their position. This allows the inspection device to adapt to pipes of different diameters, ensuring the device maintains a suitable distance and orientation from the pipe's inner wall, preparing for subsequent inspection. The inspection device is then placed in the starting position on the pipe, and the power supply is turned on. This activates the permanent magnet synchronous motor 10, permanent magnet synchronous motor 13, and other power components, as well as the spectral module 3, the defogging lens 4, the industrial high-definition camera 19, and related external data processing systems.
[0063] The permanent magnet synchronous motor 13 drives the rotating block 2 to rotate via a connecting rod, thereby causing the spectral module 3 to rotate 360°. The infrared and ultraviolet spectrometers, interleaved in the spectral module 3, begin operation. The infrared spectrometer emits infrared light to irradiate the pipe material, receiving absorption signals from the material at different wavelengths of infrared light. By analyzing the absorption spectra, it obtains data such as the molecular structure, temperature distribution, and presence of internal defects in the pipe material. The ultraviolet spectrometer emits ultraviolet light to irradiate the pipe surface, receiving absorption signals from the surface at different wavelengths of ultraviolet light. By analyzing the absorption spectra, it detects the presence of micro-cracks, coating damage, and other problems on the pipe surface. The spectral module 3 transmits the acquired infrared and ultraviolet spectral data in real time to the data processing system for preliminary processing and storage. The fog-penetrating lens 4 then begins operation, utilizing its special optical properties to penetrate fog, dust, and other impurities inside the pipe, capturing images of the pipe's interior. Simultaneously, the industrial high-definition camera 19 captures high-resolution images of the pipe's interior. The image data captured by the fog-penetrating lens 4 and the industrial high-definition camera 19 are also transmitted in real time to the external data processing system. The external data processing system fuses infrared and ultraviolet spectral data transmitted from the spectral module 3, as well as image data transmitted from the fog-penetrating lens 4 and the industrial high-definition camera 19. Specialized algorithms and software are used to analyze the fused data; for example, image recognition algorithms identify the internal structural features, defect locations, and shapes of the pipeline, and the nature of the defects (such as chemical corrosion, physical damage, etc.) is determined by combining the spectral data. The system compares the analysis results with pre-set pipeline quality standards to determine whether there are quality problems and their severity. If a quality problem is detected, the data processing system automatically issues a warning signal and outputs a detailed inspection report (including defect location, type, severity, etc.) to the operator's terminal device (such as a computer or tablet). Based on the inspection report, the operator further evaluates and makes decisions regarding the pipeline, such as developing a maintenance plan and arranging regular inspections.
[0064] After completing the inspection of a section of the pipeline, the servo motor 8 drives the rotating wheel 9 to rotate, causing the inspection device to move forward inside the pipeline and continue to inspect the next section of the pipeline. The process of spectral detection, image detection, data processing and analysis, and output and feedback of inspection results is repeated until the inspection of the entire pipeline is completed.
[0065] After the inspection is completed, the permanent magnet synchronous motor 10 drives the meshing gear 11 through the connecting rod, which in turn drives the main gear 12 and the scraper 5 to move, automatically cleaning the glass lens 14 at the front end of the fog-penetrating lens 4, removing dust, stains and other impurities from the surface, keeping the optical components clean, and preparing for the next inspection.
[0066] The permanent magnet synchronous motor 213 is connected to the bracket 2 via a connecting rod, driving the spectral module 3 and the fog-penetrating lens 4 to rotate, ensuring flexible adjustment of the detection angle.
[0067] The permanent magnet synchronous motor 10 drives the meshing gear 11 through the connecting rod, which in turn drives the main gear 12 and the scraper 5 to move, thus realizing the self-cleaning function.
[0068] The electric cylinder 6 pushes the connecting plate 7 through the piston rod, thereby adjusting the position of the servo motor 8 and the rotating wheel 9, so that the device can better adapt to pipes of different diameters and ensure the stability and accuracy of the detection process.

This way of describing the specification is only for clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
