The invention relates to the technical field of pipeline detection, and provides a spiral and
leg type dual-drive pipeline detection
robot which comprises driving joints, a cabin body, a three-axis differential mechanism and a controller. The driving joint comprises a telescopic
leg mechanism, a spiral driving mechanism and a wheel type support; the three-shaft differential mechanism is arranged in an inner cavity of the spiral driving mechanism body and can change the direction of the wheel type support in a self-adaptive mode so as to adapt to the change of the trend of a
pipe wall, and the controller is used for monitoring the motion state of the
robot, calculating the differential speed between wheels and adjusting the rotation angle of gears of the differential mechanism. Therefore, the
robot can stably change the direction during
pipe bending. According to the robot, two driving
modes of spiral driving and
leg type driving are combined, the risk of motion interference and robot damage can be reduced through a spiral driving three-axis differential mechanism structure in a curve, when the robot encounters an obstacle,
leg type driving is switched, the robot crosses the obstacle, self-adaptive adjustment of the robot on the pipeline environment is achieved through
intelligent control, and the robot is more intelligent. And the operation efficiency and the safety are improved.
