Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power device technology for detection robots, and in particular to an adaptive obstacle-crossing collaborative movement power mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of my country's economy, the petroleum energy industry has become deeply embedded in the overall operation of the national economy. As a core infrastructure for energy transportation, oil and gas pipelines commonly suffer various types of damage during long-term service due to alternating loads, media corrosion, and environmental erosion. Among these, defects such as stress corrosion cracking of the inner pipe wall, pipe wall thinning, and weld cracks are more serious, and are highly concealed and randomly distributed. According to industry statistics, in pipelines that have been in service for more than 15 years, approximately 34% of failures are caused by latent defects in stress concentration areas. Once these defects exceed critical dimensions, they may trigger major safety accidents such as oil and gas leaks and explosions, causing irreparable economic losses and ecological disasters.
[0003] With the continuous development of technology, ultrasonic, eddy current, and magnetic flux leakage detection robots have emerged. Metal magnetic memory detection technology, a new method that emerged at the end of the last century, has pioneered the full-lifecycle detection of ferromagnetic materials, from early abnormal stress concentration to macroscopic cracks, by analyzing the magnetic field distortion characteristics on the surface of ferromagnetic materials under the influence of the Earth's magnetic field. Detection robots typically consist of two parts: a detection mechanism and a walking mechanism. The walking mechanism drives the detection mechanism. While existing walking mechanisms can move the detection mechanism, they lack obstacle-crossing capabilities, making them prone to blockage when encountering foreign objects such as wax deposits or crude oil adhesion within pipelines. Utility Model Content

[0008] The walking assembly also includes tracks that pass around the drive wheel, track roller, and road wheel. When an obstacle is encountered, the tracks deform toward the load-bearing plate, thereby driving the road wheel and wheel frame to move toward the load-bearing plate, and then the springs contract to overcome the obstacle.
[0009] Furthermore, the mounting base includes a mounting plate and a rear seat located to the right of the mounting plate. Fixed seats are fixed on the right side of the mounting plate and the left side of the rear seat. The two fixed seats are connected by a first connecting shaft. Multiple sets of lifting components are arranged between the two fixed seats. The number of lifting components is the same as the number of traveling components.
[0010] The lifting assembly includes a screw, the left end of which is connected to a mounting plate via a bearing seat, and the right end of which passes through a rear seat and is connected to a bearing in the rear seat. Fixed plates are fixed between the mounting plate and the rear seat, and on both the front and rear sides of the screw. A first movable shaft is screwed onto the screw, and both ends of the first movable shaft have first limiting shafts. A first limiting channel for sliding of the first limiting shaft is provided on the fixed plate. A lifting plate is provided above the fixed plate, and the upper end of the lifting plate is fixedly connected to a guard plate. A fixed shaft is provided between the two lifting plates, and the end of the fixed shaft penetrates the lifting plate and is fixedly connected to it. A second movable shaft is also provided between the two lifting plates, and both ends of the second movable shaft have second limiting shafts. A second limiting channel for sliding of the second limiting shaft is provided on the lifting plate.
[0011] The end of the first limiting shaft is hinged to one end of the first swing plate, and the other end of the first swing plate is hinged to the end of the fixed shaft; the end of the second limiting shaft is hinged to one end of the second swing plate, and the other end of the second swing plate is hinged to the fixed plate; a second connecting shaft is provided above the screw, and the middle parts of the first swing plate and the second swing plate are both hinged to the second connecting shaft.
[0012] All screws are driven to rotate by a single drive assembly.
[0013] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a protective sleeve fixed to the right side of the rear seat, a protective shell fixed to the right end of the protective sleeve, a mounting plate disposed inside the protective shell, a screw connected to the mounting plate bearing, and planetary gears fixed on the screw between the mounting plate and the rear seat. All planetary gears mesh with a sun gear, which is driven by a second drive motor.
[0014] Furthermore, the second drive motor is fixed to the inner wall of the protective shell, the output shaft of the second drive motor penetrates the mounting plate and is connected to the bearing of the mounting plate, and the end of the output shaft of the second drive motor is fixedly connected to the sun gear.
[0015] Furthermore, the inner wall bearing of the protective sleeve is connected to a gear ring, which meshes with a planetary gear.
[0016] Furthermore, the first drive motor is fixed to the guard plate, and the output shaft of the first drive motor is connected to the first wheel rod.
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] (1) When encountering an obstacle, the track deforms towards the load-bearing plate, thereby driving the road wheels and wheel frames to move towards the load-bearing plate, and then the springs contract to overcome the obstacle. When leaving the obstacle, the springs return to their original shape, thereby pushing the wheel frames and road wheels to move away from the load-bearing plate, and then the track returns to its original shape, completing the track adaptive obstacle crossing.
[0019] (2) The lifting component can drive the walking component to rise and fall, which can adapt to different inner diameters in the pipe.
[0020] This invention enables obstacle crossing, making it less prone to blockage when encountering foreign objects such as wax or crude oil adhesion in the pipeline. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a first embodiment of an adaptive obstacle-crossing cooperative mobility mechanism, including a mounting base 1. Multiple walking components 2 are arranged on the outer periphery of the mounting base 1. Each walking component 2 includes two guard plates 201, with a load-bearing plate 202 fixed between the two guard plates 201. First wheel rods 203 are arranged on the left and right sides of the load-bearing plate 202, with the ends of the first wheel rods 203 connected to the guard plates 201 by bearings. One of the first wheel rods 203 is driven by a first drive motor (not shown). Two drive wheels 204 are fixedly arranged front and rear on the first wheel rods 203. A second wheel rod 205 is arranged below the load-bearing plate 202, with the ends of the second wheel rods 205 fixedly connected to the guard plates 201. A support wheel 206 is connected to the second wheel rod 205 by bearings.
[0031] Multiple connecting rods 207 are provided above the load-bearing plate 202, and the ends of the connecting rods 207 are fixedly connected to the guard plate 201. A fixing rod 208 is fixed at both the front and rear ends of the bottom of the connecting rod 207, and the lower end of the fixing rod 208 is fixedly connected to the load-bearing plate 202. A sliding plate 209 is sleeved on the fixing rod 208, and the sliding plate 209 is connected to the load-bearing plate 202 by a spring 210. Wheel frames 211 are fixed at both the front and rear ends of the top of the sliding plate 209, and the wheel frames 211 have grooves 212 for the fixing rods 208 to pass through. A load-bearing wheel 213 is installed between the upper ends of two wheel frames 211.
[0032] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 207 may include a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod, which are connected by a connecting sleeve 305 for easy assembly and disassembly.
[0033] The walking assembly 2 also includes a track 214, which passes around the drive wheel 204, the track roller 206 and the road wheel 213. When encountering an obstacle, the track 214 deforms towards the load-bearing plate 202, thereby driving the road wheel 213 and the wheel frame 211 to move towards the load-bearing plate 202, and then the spring 210 contracts to overcome the obstacle.
[0034] The first drive motor drives the first wheel rod 203 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive wheel 204 to rotate. The drive wheel 204 then drives the track 214, which in turn drives the track roller 206 and the road wheel 213 to rotate, thus enabling movement. When encountering an obstacle, the track 214 deforms towards the load-bearing plate 202, causing the road wheel 213 and wheel frame 211 to move towards the load-bearing plate 202. This causes the spring 210 to contract, allowing the track to overcome the obstacle. When leaving the obstacle, the spring 210 returns to its original shape, pushing the wheel frame 211 and road wheel 213 away from the load-bearing plate 202. This causes the track 214 to return to its original shape, completing the adaptive and easy obstacle-crossing process.
[0035] Based on the first embodiment, this utility model provides a second embodiment of an adaptive obstacle-crossing cooperative travel power mechanism. The mounting base 1 includes a mounting plate 101 and a rear seat 102 located to the right of the mounting plate 101. The mounting plate 101 is used to connect the detection mechanism. The right side of the mounting plate 101 and the left side of the rear seat 102 are both fixed with a fixing seat 103. The two fixing seats 103 are connected by a first connecting shaft 104. Multiple sets of lifting components 3 are arranged between the two fixing seats 103. The number of lifting components 3 is the same as that of the walking components 2, and the walking components 2 are arranged on the lifting components 3. The lifting components 3 can drive the walking components 2 to rise and fall, and can adapt to different inner diameters in the pipe.
[0036] The lifting assembly 3 includes a screw 301. The left end of the screw 301 is connected to the mounting plate 101 via a bearing seat 302, and the right end passes through the rear seat 102 and is connected to the bearing of the rear seat 102. A fixing plate 303 is fixed between the mounting plate 101 and the rear seat 102, and on both the front and rear sides of the screw 301. A first moving shaft 304 is screwed onto the screw 301. The front and rear ends of the first moving shaft 304 have first limiting shafts. The fixing plate 303 has a first limiting channel 306 for sliding of the first limiting shaft. When the screw 301 rotates, the first moving shaft 304 is limited by the first limiting shaft and the first limiting channel 306, so that the first moving shaft 304 can move left and right on the screw 301. During the left and right movement of the first moving shaft 304, the first limiting shaft slides in the first limiting channel 306, which plays a guiding role for the first moving shaft 304.
[0037] A lifting plate 307 is provided above the fixed plate 303, and the upper end of the lifting plate 307 is fixedly connected to the guard plate 201; a fixed shaft 308 is provided between the two lifting plates 307, and the end of the fixed shaft 308 penetrates the lifting plate 307 and is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 307; a second moving shaft 309 is also provided between the two lifting plates 307, and the front and rear ends of the second moving shaft 309 have second limiting shafts; a second limiting channel 310 for sliding of the second limiting shaft is provided on the lifting plate 307.
[0038] The end of the first limiting shaft is hinged to one end of the first swing plate 311, and the other end of the first swing plate 311 is hinged to the end of the fixed shaft 308; the end of the second limiting shaft is hinged to one end of the second swing plate 312, and the other end of the second swing plate 312 is hinged to the fixed plate 303; a second connecting shaft 313 is provided above the screw 301, and the middle parts of the first swing plate 311 and the second swing plate 312 are both hinged to the second connecting shaft 313;
[0039] When the first moving shaft 304 moves back and forth, it can drive the first limiting shaft to slide within the first limiting channel 306, thereby driving the first swing plate 311 to move back and forth. The movement of the first swing plate 311 drives the second swing plate 312 to move back and forth, thereby driving the second limiting shaft to slide within the second limiting channel 310; and then driving the lifting plate 307 to rise and fall, so as to drive the walking component 2 to rise and fall.
[0040] All screws 301 are driven to rotate by a drive assembly 4. The drive assembly 4 can drive all screws 301 to rotate at the same time, so that all walking assemblies 2 can be raised and lowered at the same time.
[0041] The drive assembly 4 includes a protective sleeve 401 fixed to the right side of the rear seat 102. A protective shell 402 is fixed to the right end of the protective sleeve 401. A mounting plate 403 is disposed inside the protective shell 402. The screw 301 is bearing-connected to the mounting plate 403. Planetary gears 404 are fixed on the screw 301 between the mounting plate 403 and the rear seat 102. All planetary gears 404 mesh with a sun gear 405, which is driven by a second drive motor 406. The second drive motor 406 can drive the sun gear 405 to rotate, thereby driving the planetary gears 404 to rotate. The rotation of the planetary gears 404 can drive the screw 301 to rotate.
[0042] Based on the second embodiment, this utility model provides a third embodiment of an adaptive obstacle-crossing cooperative motion power mechanism. The second drive motor 406 is fixed on the inner wall of the protective shell 402. The output shaft of the second drive motor 406 penetrates the mounting plate 403 and is connected to the bearing of the mounting plate 403. The end of the output shaft of the second drive motor 406 is fixedly connected to the sun gear 405, which can drive the sun gear 405 to rotate.
[0043] Based on the second or third embodiment, this utility model provides a fourth embodiment of the adaptive obstacle-crossing cooperative propulsion mechanism, wherein the inner wall bearing of the protective sleeve 401 is connected to a gear ring 407, which meshes with the planetary gear 404, so that the planetary gear 404 can rotate better.
