[0002] Pipeline inspection robots are intelligent devices specifically designed for inspecting, maintaining, and troubleshooting the inside of pipelines. They can operate autonomously or semi-autonomously in complex pipeline environments, replacing manual labor in high-risk, harsh, or difficult-to-reach pipeline inspection tasks. Through onboard cameras, sensors, and other equipment, they can identify problems such as cracks, corrosion, blockages, and leaks inside pipelines. However, existing pipeline robots still encounter some problems in actual use.

[0003] For example, patent application number CN202421633299.X discloses a pipeline inner wall inspection robot, including a mounting shell and a spiral propeller set at the rear end of its inner wall. The mounting shell is equipped with multiple inspection mechanisms: each inspection mechanism includes a threaded rod rotatably set around the mounting shell, one end of which extends to the outside of the mounting shell and is threadedly connected to a lifting plate. The top left and right sides of the lifting plate are rotatably connected to a first electric push rod, and the telescopic end of the first electric push rod is rotatably connected to a moving wheel, which has the feature of easy adjustment. Existing pipeline robots often use relatively complex drive structures to adjust themselves and adapt to different pipelines. When a malfunction occurs, it is inconvenient for workers to perform maintenance operations on the pipeline robot.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0029] To further understand the content of this utility model, a detailed description of this utility model will be provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Combination Figures 1-3 A pipeline inspection robot equipped with a multispectral imaging system includes a mounting frame 1 and a connecting box 2 fixedly connected to one end of the mounting frame 1. The outer side of the mounting frame 1 is provided with a sliding groove 11, and three sets of sliding grooves 11 are provided. The mounting frame 1 is provided with an adjustment mechanism, which is used to adapt to different pipelines. The adjustment mechanism includes a servo motor 12 inside the mounting frame 1. The output end of the servo motor 12 is fixedly connected to a positive and negative thread screw 121. Imaging device bodies 21 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the connecting box 2.

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] To address the problem that existing pipeline robots often rely on complex drive structures to adapt to different pipelines, making maintenance difficult for operators when malfunctions occur, this embodiment discloses the following technical solution, specifically as follows: Figures 1-3 As shown, both ends of the screw 121 are threaded with connecting blocks 122. Connecting rods 123 are fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting blocks 122. Three sets of connecting rods 123 are provided. The connecting rods 123 are slidably connected inside the slide groove 11. A protrusion 124 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 123. A placement box 13 is provided on the outer side of the mounting bracket 1. Three sets of placement boxes 13 are provided. A drive wheel 131 is provided on one side of the placement box 13, and a rotating rod 132 is rotatably connected to the other side of the placement box 13. The rotating rod 132 is rotatably connected to the protrusion 124. When using the integrated structure, the servo motor 12 located inside the mounting bracket 1 can be activated. The servo motor 12 drives the screw 121 to rotate, thereby causing the connecting blocks 122 to move, thus... The three sets of connecting rods 123 slide inside the slide groove 11. The connecting rods 123 drive the protrusions 124 to move, which in turn causes the rotating rod 132 to rotate. The rotating rod 132 drives the placement box 13 to move, so that the mounting frame 1 can adapt to different pipe widths. The drive wheel 131 can contact the inner wall of the pipe, so that the mounting frame 1 can move inside pipes of different specifications. The drive structure inside the placement box 13 drives the drive wheel 131 to move the entire device on the inner wall of the pipe. In addition, the operator can also start the servo motor 12 to make the three sets of placement boxes 13 in the lowest position. At this time, the entire structure can be driven to move on the ground, which realizes the function of making it easier for the operator to adjust the entire structure more quickly, and facilitates subsequent use.

[0034] Example 2:

[0035] To address the problem that most existing pipeline robot sensor imaging components are fixedly mounted on the robot, making it inconvenient for operators to perform individual maintenance on the sensor imaging components when they malfunction, this embodiment discloses the following technical solution, specifically as follows: Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a mounting plate 211 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the imaging device body 21. A slot 212 is provided through the mounting plate 211. A knob 22 is rotatably connected to one side of the connecting box 2. A gear 221 is fixedly connected to one end of the knob 22. A rack 222 is meshed with both the upper and lower sides of the gear 221. The rack 222 slides with the slot 212. A rotating block 23 is rotatably connected inside the connecting box 2. A spring rod 231 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating block 23. A moving block 232 is fixedly connected to one end of the spring rod 231. A cross block 233 is fixedly connected to one side of the moving block 232. A cross groove 234 is provided on one side of the knob 22. The cross block 233 slides with the cross groove 234. When the imaging device body 21 is damaged during use, the moving block located on one side of the connecting box 2 can be pulled. 232. Moving the moving block 232 causes the cross block 233 to move out of the cross groove 234, which in turn allows the knob 22 to be rotated. The knob 22 drives the gear 221 to rotate, which in turn causes the two sets of racks 222 to move. After the racks 222 disengage from the slots 212, the imaging device body 21 can be removed from the connecting box 2. When the maintenance operation is completed and the imaging device body 21 needs to be installed, the mounting plate 211 at the bottom of the imaging device body 21 can be aligned with the connecting box 2 and placed in its original position. Rotating the knob 22 causes the racks 222 to move into the slots 212. Then, rotating the moving block 232 causes the cross block 233 to engage with the cross groove 234, thus completing the installation of the two sets of imaging device bodies 21. This facilitates the maintenance operation of the imaging device body 21 by the staff and improves work efficiency.
