Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pipeline inspection technology, specifically relating to a flexible descent auxiliary device for a CCTV pipeline inspection robot in a drop well environment. Background Technology

[0002] With the upgrading and renovation of municipal drainage systems, the application of ultra-deep drop manholes (drop > 6m) is becoming increasingly widespread. These drop manholes typically employ a multi-layered baffle design, separating energy dissipation zones and maintenance zones, and achieving multi-stage energy dissipation through staggered vertical downpipes. Numerous studies have shown that while ultra-deep anti-fall drop manholes effectively mitigate the kinetic energy of water flow with high drops, they also introduce vertical obstacles such as baffles, retaining walls, and ladders, making the internal structure highly complex. This structural characteristic directly makes it difficult for traditional CCTV pipeline inspection robots to operate smoothly within these manholes, posing a significant challenge to inspection tasks.

[0003] Current mainstream CCTV inspection robots primarily rely on roller structures for linear crawling. However, they struggle to navigate smoothly through stepped drops in drainage manholes. Furthermore, the bottom of these manholes often contains accumulated water and sediment, interfering with the robot's positioning and stable operation. Manual assistance in the manhole is not only difficult but also carries serious safety risks such as falls and exposure to highly toxic gases. Therefore, relying on traditional CCTV technology for drainage pipe inspection in complex deep well environments presents significant technical bottlenecks and safety hazards. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible descent auxiliary device for CCTV pipeline inspection robots in drop well environments, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that current inspection robots are difficult to achieve unobstructed path transitions.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a flexible descent auxiliary device for a CCTV pipeline inspection robot in a drop well environment, comprising at least two guide rods, each composed of multiple rod bodies;

[0006] A socket plate is attached to the bottom end of the guide rod and fits against the pipe wall.

[0007] A limiting component is installed at the top of the guide rod. In use, the pipeline inspection robot is fitted onto the guide rod, and then the end of the pipeline inspection robot is connected to an external winch line. The pipeline inspection robot slides down the guide rod via the lower winch line. The pipeline inspection robot is equipped with an electromagnetic component, which is energized to achieve a damping connection with the guide rod, thereby slowing down the descent speed of the pipeline inspection robot.

[0008] Preferably, the rod body constituting the end of the guide rod is connected to the socket plate; a ball sleeve is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the rod body at the end position, and a stainless steel ball head is provided inside the ball sleeve. The stainless steel ball head is fixedly connected to the socket plate, and the socket plate can rotate inside the ball sleeve through the stainless steel ball head, thereby ensuring that the socket plate can be angled and connected to the pipe wall of different planes.

[0009] Preferably, a connecting post is fixed at the top of each rod, and a socket for inserting the connecting post is opened at the bottom of the rod forming the upper middle position of the guide rod. The length of the entire guide rod can be adjusted by the insertion and cooperation of the connecting post and the socket.

[0010] Preferably, a threaded hole is provided through one side of the inner wall of the insertion hole, and a clamping bolt is screwed into the threaded hole. The clamping bolt abuts against the side of the connecting post inserted into the insertion hole, thereby achieving a clamping connection of the connecting post.

[0011] Preferably, the socket plate has grooves at both ends for the connecting post to be inserted, and bolts pass through the connection between the socket plate and the connecting post to achieve a fixed connection between the end plate and the guide rod.

[0012] Preferably, the rotation angle of the stainless steel ball head within the ball sleeve ranges from -° to +°.

[0013] Preferably, the longitudinal cross-sectional area of ​​the socket plate is smaller than that of the rod. The top of the pipeline inspection robot is not completely wrapped around the rod, but is wrapped in a semi-open manner, so that when it moves to the position of the socket plate, it can detach from the socket plate and enter the pipeline for subsequent inspection. The shape of the socket plate includes a columnar body and a cylinder.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] The design of this utility model enables the formation of a guide rod inside the drop well for the robot to slide downwards, allowing the robot to descend slowly with the help of an external winch. It can also overcome the accumulated water and sediment inside the drop well, ensuring the robot's positioning and stable operation. The entire positioning process does not require manual operation down into the well, making it very convenient to use and overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies.
