[0028] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. The utility model is described more specifically in the following paragraphs by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of this utility model will become clearer from the following description and claims. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of this utility model.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a quick-release pipe detection robot, including a robot body 1 and a detection mechanism 2. The upper end of the robot body 1 has a male connector 11, and the detection mechanism 2 has a female connector 21. The female connector 21 is detachably connected to the male connector 11, and the detection mechanism 2 is electrically connected to the robot body 1. By setting the male connector on the robot body and the female connector on the detection mechanism, the detection mechanism can be installed on the robot body by splicing the male connector and the female connector.

[0030] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the male connector 11 includes an electrical connector male 111 and a limiting ring 112, and the female connector 21 includes an electrical connector female 211 and a plug rod 212. The limiting ring 112 is located at the upper front end of the robot body 1 and extends through the front and rear. The electrical connector male 111 is located at the upper front end of the robot body 1 and is located directly behind the limiting ring 112. The plug rod 212 is horizontally arranged in the front-rear direction, and the electrical connector female 211 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the plug rod 212. The rear end of the plug rod 212 passes through the limiting ring 112 from front to back, and the electrical connector male 111 and the electrical connector female 211 are plugged into each other. This allows the plug rod to be circumferentially limited after being inserted into the limiting ring, and the electrical connector female and electrical connector male plugging into each other can achieve electrical connection while also limiting the plug rod in the front-rear direction.

[0031] The quick-release pipe inspection robot provided in this embodiment is characterized by the ability to temporarily plug and match the robot body and the detection mechanism during use for assembly. Specifically, the male and female electrical connectors achieve electrical connection during plugging, preventing the connector rod from moving forward and becoming loose. Furthermore, the inner hole of the limiting ring in this embodiment is non-circular, and the cross-section of the connector rod is also non-circular. The inner hole of the limiting ring mates with the connector rod, ensuring that the connector rod can only move back and forth relative to the limiting ring after passing through it, and cannot rotate. Preferably, the cross-section of the connector rod is square, and the inner hole of the limiting ring is also square. The female electrical connector is located at the center of the rear end of the connector rod.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown in the above technical solution, the upper end of the robot body 1 has a protrusion 12 protruding directly behind the limiting ring 112. The male electrical connector 111 is embedded in the front end of the protrusion 12, so that the protrusion serves as the mounting carrier for the male electrical connector, thus improving the installation stability of the male electrical connector. In this embodiment, after the rear end of the plug rod passes through the limiting ring, the male electrical connector is aligned with the female electrical connector, and the two can be plugged in.

[0033] like Figure 3As shown, the above technical solution also includes a pin 3. A first pin hole 1121 is provided on the side wall of the limiting ring 112, and a second pin hole 2121 is provided on the plug rod 212. The plug rod 212 passes through the limiting ring 112. When the male connector 11 and the female connector 211 are plugged into each other, the first pin hole 1121 and the second pin hole 2121 are aligned to allow the pin 3 to be inserted. This allows the plug rod and the limiting ring to be pinned together, further preventing the plug rod from moving forward and becoming loose. Specifically, the pin 3 is a ball pin, which has a simple structure and is easy to use. In this embodiment, both the first pin hole and the second pin hole are horizontally arranged in the left-right direction, and the first pin hole is a through hole (it penetrates two oppositely distributed side walls of the limiting ring, forming an eyelet on each of the two side walls of the limiting ring).

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the above technical solution, the robot body 1 has a first controller 13, the detection mechanism 2 has a second controller 22, the male electrical connector 111 is electrically connected to the first controller 13, and the female electrical connector 211 is electrically connected to the second controller 22. This allows the robot body and the detection mechanism to have independently matched controllers, and the male and female electrical connectors can transmit power and data after being plugged in. Both the first and second controllers can use ARM series microcontrollers. In this embodiment, the male and female electrical connectors are electrically connected after mating, and they are both communication and power supply connectors (thus achieving both power supply and communication).

[0035] The robot body 1 described in the above technical solution is a tracked electric chassis or a wheeled electric chassis (both of which belong to the prior art and will not be described in detail here), and its structure is simple.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the detection mechanism 2 in the above technical solution also includes a height adjustment component 23 disposed at the upper front end of the plug rod 212 and a detection element 24 mounted on the height adjustment component 23. The detection element 24 is electrically connected to the second controller 22. The height adjustment component 23 is used to adjust the height of the detection element 24, so that the height of the detection element can be conveniently adjusted by the height adjustment component.

[0037] Specifically, the height adjustment component 23 is an electric height adjustment component, which is electrically connected to the second controller 22, thus allowing the second controller to control the operation of the height adjustment component. In this embodiment, the electric height adjustment component can be a scissor lift platform, or it can be similar to the lifting device disclosed in document CN216526321 U "A Geological Exploration Assembly".

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the detection element 24 in the above technical solution includes a camera and / or a ranging probe, which enables imaging and / or defect detection inside the pipeline. The detection element in this embodiment can be similar to the pipeline detection head disclosed in document CN119062856A "A Pipeline Detector and Pipeline Robot".

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, any modifications, alterations, or equivalent variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are considered equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
