Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipeline robot technology, specifically a pipeline robot device that integrates detection and flushing. Background Technology

[0002] Pipeline robots, as an advanced pipeline inspection and maintenance device, are widely used in municipal drainage pipelines, industrial pipelines, and petrochemical pipelines. Their working principle is to control the rotation of tracks or wheels through a drive mechanism, enabling the robot to move flexibly inside the pipeline. During the movement, the robot is usually equipped with high-definition cameras and sensors to monitor the condition of the pipeline's inner wall in real time. At the same time, in order to achieve the cleaning function inside the pipeline, the robot will drag the pipeline and connect to a high-pressure pump to flush the inside of the pipeline through water supply. The application of this technology greatly improves the efficiency of pipeline inspection and maintenance and reduces the risks of manual entry into the pipeline.

[0003] However, existing pipe cleaning robots have several shortcomings: The external structures of pipe robots on the market vary widely, lacking a unified standard. If a robot malfunctions, it typically needs to be manually pulled out of the pipe for repair. However, in actual operating environments, the internal conditions of pipes are complex, potentially containing various obstacles such as sediment and foreign objects. These obstacles can easily jam the robot, making it difficult to move it out of the pipe. Furthermore, different robot shapes have limitations in adapting to different pipe diameters and shapes, thus restricting their applicability.

[0004] Therefore, a pipeline robot device that integrates detection and flushing is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pipeline robot device that integrates detection and flushing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a pipeline robot device for linked detection and flushing, comprising a control cabin and a monitoring mechanism disposed therein. Multiple drive devices are arranged circumferentially around the outside of the control cabin. Each drive device has a drive track on its outer side wall. The front sides of the outer side walls of the drive devices are rotatably connected to the control cabin. A movable seat is rotatably connected to the rear side of the outer side walls of the drive devices. A lead screw is threaded into the interior of the movable seats. The lead screw is rotatably installed inside the control cabin. Rotating the lead screw to one side moves the drive track into the interior of the protective shell. A control system is disposed inside the control cabin. A connecting seat is rotatably connected to the front end of the control cabin. A high-pressure nozzle is connected to the outer side wall of the connecting seat. The high-pressure nozzle is connected to a water inlet tank via a water inlet pipe. A high-definition detection device is connected to the front end of the control cabin. The water inlet tank, the protective shell, and the outer side walls of the high-definition detection device are flush with each other.

[0007] Preferably, a follower plate is rotatably connected to the front side of the outer side wall of the plurality of drive devices, and the plurality of follower plates are rotatably connected to the control cabin. An adjustment plate is rotatably connected to the rear side of the outer side wall of the plurality of drive devices, and the plurality of adjustment plates are rotatably mounted on corresponding moving seats. The rear end of the lead screw is connected to a first motor.

[0008] Preferably, a driven wheel is connected to the outer wall of the connecting seat, a driving wheel is engaged with one side of the driven wheel, a second motor is connected to one side of the driving wheel, and the second motor is fixedly connected to the protective shell.

[0009] Preferably, the water inlet tank is detachably connected to the protective shell, and a water supply pipe is connected to the outer wall of the water inlet tank for water supply.

[0010] Preferably, the monitoring mechanism includes external detectors circumferentially distributed on the outer wall of the protective shell, and the control cabin is equipped with a data transmission module. One side of the data transmission module is connected to a terminal transmission line for data transmission.

[0011] Preferably, the rear end of the terminal transmission line passes through the water inlet tank and extends to the outside, exiting from the rear end of the water tank to prevent the lines from becoming tangled.

[0012] Preferably, the water supply pipe, water inlet tank, connecting seat and high-pressure nozzle are internally interconnected.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model, through the linkage design of the lead screw and the moving seat, enables the flexible storage and deployment of the track, and is applicable to different pipe wall inner diameters. This design allows the robot to easily adjust its shape when facing obstacles inside the pipe, avoiding getting stuck, thereby significantly improving the robot's passability in complex pipe environments. In addition, the robot's shape is smoother after storage, making it easier to move inside the pipe, further reducing the risk of the robot being difficult to move out due to deposits or foreign objects inside the pipe, and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0014] 2. Secondly, the flushing system and detection system of the device are linked for control. The high-definition detection equipment can monitor the internal condition of the pipeline in real time and transmit the detected impurities or blockage information to the control system. Based on the analysis results, the control system precisely controls the action of the high-pressure nozzle to achieve efficient flushing of the inside of the pipeline. Meanwhile, the combination of external detectors and data transmission modules allows operators to monitor the flushing effect inside the pipeline in real time through the display terminal, further optimizing the operation process and improving the efficiency and quality of pipeline cleaning. This linkage between detection and flushing not only improves the automation level of pipeline maintenance, but also reduces manual intervention, lowering maintenance costs and safety risks.
