An auxiliary structure for a pipeline robot in underground pipe networks

Abstract

This utility model discloses an auxiliary structure for a pipeline robot used in underground pipe networks, including a base plate and a frame. The bottom of the frame is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate. A guide plate is provided inside the frame. An adjustment mechanism is fixedly installed on the right side of the inner wall of the frame. Positioning mechanisms are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the right side of the frame. This utility model, by setting a guide plate, facilitates the guidance of the cable between the cable reel and the robot, avoiding friction between the cable and the ground. This solves the problem of existing robots requiring the cable inside the reel to be pulled out and inserted into the robot's tail. However, due to the lack of a guiding and protective structure for the cable, it easily drags on the ground after the robot enters the pipe, constantly rubbing against the ground as the robot moves, easily causing damage and thus poor protection. This design achieves the effect of an auxiliary guide plate.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary structure technology for pipeline robots, specifically an auxiliary structure for a pipeline robot used in underground pipe networks. Background Technology

[0002] Underground pipe networks, as an important component of urban infrastructure, play a crucial role in transporting key resources such as water, gas, and electricity, as well as discharging sewage. With the continuous development and aging of cities, the maintenance and management of underground pipe networks have become increasingly important and complex. Traditional manual inspection and maintenance methods are not only inefficient but also pose certain safety risks. Therefore, pipeline robots have emerged. In the current use of robots, the cable inside the cable reel needs to be pulled out and inserted into the tail of the robot. However, due to the lack of a guiding and protective structure for the cable, it is easy for the cable to drag on the ground after the robot enters the pipe. As the robot moves, it will continuously rub against the ground, which can easily cause damage. Therefore, the protection is not good. Utility Model Content

This structure has the advantages of an auxiliary guide wire and solves the problem that in the use of existing robots, it is necessary to pull out the cable inside the cable reel and insert it into the tail of the robot. However, due to the lack of a guiding and protective structure for the cable, it is easy for the cable to drag on the ground after the robot enters the pipe. As the robot moves, it will continuously rub against the ground, which can easily cause damage, thus resulting in poor protection.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an auxiliary structure for a pipeline robot for underground pipe networks, comprising a base plate and a frame, wherein the bottom of the frame is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate, a guide plate is provided inside the frame, an adjustment mechanism is fixedly installed on the right side of the inner wall of the frame, and positioning mechanisms are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the right side of the frame.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1.

It solves the problem that in the existing robot operation, the cable inside the cable reel needs to be pulled out and inserted into the tail of the robot. However, due to the lack of a guiding and protective structure for the cable, when the robot enters the pipe, the cable is easily dragged on the ground and rubs against the ground as the robot moves, which is prone to damage. Therefore, it has poor protection and achieves the effect of an auxiliary guide plate.

[0019] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting an adjustment mechanism 4, by activating the electric push rod 41, the output end of the electric push rod 41 can drive the connecting frame 43 to move left and right along the bottom of the top plate 42.

The outer sides of the two positioning plates 52 are movably connected to a screw 53 via a bearing. The other end of the screw 53 passes through the fixed plate 51 and extends to the outer side of the fixed plate 51. The screw 53 is threadedly connected to the fixed plate 51.

[0021] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a positioning mechanism 5, the fixing plate 51 can limit the movement of the screw 53, and by rotating the screw 53, the positioning plate 52 can be moved inward, and the positioning plate 52 can clamp and position the coiling car inside it.

[0022] refer to Figure 2 Two connecting plates 6 are fixedly connected to the left side of the bottom of the connecting frame 43, and a movable roller 7 is movably connected to the inner side of the connecting plate 6 through a bearing.

[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a connecting plate 6 and a movable roller 7, the connecting plate 6 can limit the movement of the movable roller 7, and the movable roller 7 can improve the moving efficiency of the cable.

[0024] refer to Figure 3 Two limiting plates 8 are fixedly connected to the top of the connecting frame 43, and two limiting grooves 9 are opened at the bottom of the top plate 42. The surface of the limiting plate 8 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the limiting groove 9.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a limiting plate 8 and a limiting groove 9, the movement of the connecting frame 43 can drive the limiting plate 8 to slide left and right inside the limiting groove 9. The limiting groove 9 can improve the stability of the movement of the limiting plate 8 and the connecting frame 43.

[0026] refer to Figure 2 The bottom of the base plate 1 is fixedly equipped with four casters 10, and the top of the top plate 42 is fixedly connected with a handle 11.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting up a movable wheel 10 and a handle 11, the movable wheel 10 facilitates the user to move the auxiliary structure as a whole, and the handle 11 facilitates its handling.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 A handwheel 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the screw 53 away from the clamping plate, and an opening 13 is provided on the right side of the frame 2.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a handwheel 12 and a through-hole 13, the cable in the coiling cart can be inserted into the inside of the conductor plate 3 through the through-hole 13, and the handwheel 12 makes it convenient for the user to rotate the screw 53.

[0030] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When using the pipeline robot, first move the cable reel to the outside of the pipeline, then use the moving wheels 10 to move the auxiliary structure as a whole between the pipeline and the cable reel. Next, pull the cable out from inside the cable reel, then pass it through the through-hole 13 through the guide plate 3 and pull it to the left side of the frame 2 through the top of the movable roller 7, and finally insert it into the tail of the robot. Then move the frame 2 so that the right side of the frame 2 fits against the left side of the cable reel. Then, rotate the handwheel 12 to drive the screw 53 to rotate. Rotation 3 can drive the positioning plate 52 to move inward. When the positioning plate 52 is pressed against both sides of the coiling trolley, it can position the frame 2. Then, the robot is placed inside the pipe. Finally, the electric push rod 41 is activated, so that the output end of the electric push rod 41 drives the connecting frame 43 to move to the left. The movement of the connecting frame 43 can drive the guide plate 3, the movable roller 7 and the cable on its top to move to the left. When the movable roller 7 and the cable move to the top of the pipe, the cable can be prevented from dragging on the ground and causing friction, which further improves the protection.

[0031] In summary, this auxiliary structure for a pipeline robot used in underground pipe networks, by setting a guide plate 3, facilitates the guidance of the cable between the cable reel and the robot, avoiding friction between the cable and the ground. This solves the problem of existing robots, where the cable inside the cable reel needs to be pulled out and inserted into the tail of the robot. However, due to the lack of a guiding and protective structure for the cable, it is easy for the cable to drag on the ground after the robot enters the pipe, and it is prone to damage due to continuous friction with the ground as the robot moves. Therefore, the protection is poor.
