Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model mainly relates to the field of sewage treatment, specifically to a sewage treatment facility inspection robot. Background Technology

[0002] Wastewater treatment is a core component in ensuring urban water environment safety and achieving water resource recycling. A modern wastewater treatment plant is a complex industrial system consisting of numerous tanks, pumping stations, and intricate liquid transport pipelines. These pipelines transport wastewater and sludge rich in corrosive chemicals (such as H2S and CH4), solid particles, and microorganisms year-round, operating in harsh environments of high temperature, high humidity, and corrosiveness. They are highly susceptible to damage and leakage due to internal wall corrosion, external wall rust, material aging, or physical stress.

[0003] During the operation of specific embodiments, the inventors discovered the following defects: Manual inspection method This is the most common but least efficient method. Inspectors rely on visual observation of water stains and mud on the ground, auditory judgment of abnormal water flow sounds, or olfactory perception of abnormal odors (such as an increased smell of methane) to detect leaks. This method has significant drawbacks: Highly subjective: It relies entirely on the experience and sense of responsibility of personnel, resulting in a high rate of underreporting. It is extremely insensitive to initial leaks in small or underground pipelines, and is usually only detected when the leak causes obvious surface signs or structural damage, by which time it is too late.

[0004] It should be noted that the above content falls within the scope of the inventor's technical knowledge. Due to the vast and complex nature of the technical content in this field, the above content of this application does not necessarily constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0018] See attached document Figure 1-3 A wastewater treatment facility inspection robot includes a pipeline inspection structure 1, wherein a rotating vision inspection structure 2 is rotatably connected to the middle of the bottom of the pipeline inspection structure 1. The rotating vision inspection structure 2 includes a rotating ring 201. A meshing toothed ring 202 is provided in the middle of the outer wall of the rotating ring 201. Guide grooves 203 are provided on both sides of the rotating ring 201. A vision detector 205 is provided in the middle of the inner wall of the rotating ring 201. Two rotating rings 201 are provided, connected by two connecting plates 204. Then, a clutch 105 separates the drive shaft 104 and the rotating lead screw 106, and one rotating ring 201 is installed... The bottom of the rotating ring 201, which is fixed between the auxiliary bars 114, is installed so that the two rotating rings 201 form a circle to wrap around the pipe. Then, the drive structure inside the roller 112 drives the roller 112 to rotate. The roller 112 drives the installation chamber 101 to move on the outer wall of the pipe. At the same time, the transmission gear 103 drives the rotating ring 201 to rotate inside the auxiliary bar 114 through the meshing gear ring 202, so that the rotating ring 201 drives the inner guide groove 203 to perform visual inspection around the pipe.

[0019] Furthermore, the pipeline inspection structure 1 includes an installation chamber 101 and a movable frame 110. Side plates 102 are provided on both sides of the central groove of the installation chamber 101. A transmission gear 103 is rotatably connected between the two side plates 102. A transmission shaft 104 is provided on both sides of the transmission gear 103. A clutch 105 is provided at one end of each transmission shaft 104. Positioning holes 109 are provided at the four corners of the bottom of the installation chamber 101. Rotating screws 106 are rotatably connected to both sides of the bottom of the installation chamber 101. Moving strips 107 are provided on the outer wall of the rotating screws 106. A mating hole 108 is provided in the middle of the moving strips 107, which engages with the rotating screws 106. The rotating screws 106 are connected to the clutch 105. The movable frame 110 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the positioning hole 109. A rotating strip 111 is rotatably connected between the movable frame 110 and the moving strips 107. One end of the movable frame 110 is rotatably connected to a roller 112. Inclined bars 113 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the installation chamber 101. An auxiliary bar 114 is provided on the inner side of the inclined bar 113. The auxiliary bar 114 is slidably connected to the guide groove 203. When it is necessary to inspect the sewage treatment pipeline, the installation chamber 101 is placed on the top of the pipeline. Then, the two rotating rings 201 are connected through the connecting plate 204. After that, the motor is started. The motor drives the transmission gear 103 to rotate. The transmission gear 103 drives the transmission shaft 104 to rotate. The transmission shaft 104 drives the rotating screw 106 to rotate through the clutch 105. The rotating screw 106 drives the rotating bar 111 to rotate through the movable bar 107. The rotating bar 111 pushes the movable frame 110 to slide on the inner wall of the positioning hole 109. The movable frame 110 drives the roller 112 to fit against the outer walls on both sides of the pipeline, thereby installing the pipeline inspection structure 1 onto the outer wall of the pipeline.

[0020] The visual detector 205 can employ a high-definition camera or infrared sensor to capture images of the outer wall of the pipe and automatically identify leaks, corrosion, or abnormal areas using image processing algorithms. This improves the accuracy and efficiency of detection.

[0021] Initial installation: Place the installation chamber 101 of the pipeline inspection structure 1 on top of the sewage treatment pipeline to be inspected.

[0022] Two rotating rings 201 are connected by a connecting plate 204 to form a ring structure that wraps around the outer wall of the pipe. The auxiliary strip 114 is slidably connected to the guide groove 203 on the rotating ring 201 to ensure that the rotating ring 201 can rotate smoothly.

[0023] Fixed robots: Start the motor to drive the transmission gear 103 to rotate.

[0024] The transmission gear 103 drives the rotating lead screw 106 to rotate via the transmission shaft 104 and the clutch 105.

[0025] The rotating screw 106 pushes the moving frame 110 to slide in the positioning hole 109 through the moving bar 107 and the rotating bar 111, so that the roller 112 fits tightly against the outer wall of the pipe, thereby firmly fixing the robot on the pipe.

[0026] Start inspection: After fixing, the clutch 105 separates the drive shaft 104 and the rotating lead screw 106, so that the power of the transmission gear 103 is dedicated to driving the rotary vision inspection structure 2.

[0027] The transmission gear 103 meshes with the meshing toothed ring 202 on the rotating ring 201, causing the rotating ring 201 to rotate along the auxiliary bar 114. The vision detector 205 then rotates around the pipeline to comprehensively scan the outer wall of the pipeline for leaks, corrosion, or damage.

[0028] Mobile inspection: At the same time, the drive motor inside the roller 112 starts, causing the roller 112 to rotate, making the entire robot move along the direction of the pipe.

[0029] During the movement, the rotating vision inspection structure 2 continues to operate, achieving 360° inspection of the pipe's outer wall without blind spots. The inspection data is transmitted to the control center in real time via a wireless transmission module.

[0030] End and Recycling: After the inspection is completed, the robot returns to the starting point, clutch 105 reconnects, the mobile frame 110 retracts, and the robot is easily removed from the pipe.

[0031] The above-described embodiments are merely illustrative of certain implementations of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed. However, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
