Problems solved by technology

Existing drainage pipeline robots require the pipeline to be dry or with less water during the operation process. If necessary, the upstream sewage must be blocked to prevent the fuselage from being submerged in sewage during detection and unable to work.
[0006] For the pipelines in southern regions or some industrial areas in China, the drainage pipelines are in a state of high filling degree for a long time, the sewage in the drainage pipelines is not easy to drain away, and it is not suitable for blocking the upstream water, which brings problems to the work of the pipeline inspection robot.
In addition, the existing domestic robots are relatively heavy, which brings inconvenience to the staff during the operation; at the same time, it is prone to rollover when walking in a pipeline with a small diameter

Embodiment Construction

[0039] The present invention provides a drainage pipeline video detection robot, which will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0040] The length of the present invention is 65cm, the width is 21cm, and the height is 20cm, and the applicable pipe diameter range is more than 300mm. The present invention adopts the diesel generator as the computer and the robot power supply for operation. The 220V AC output of the generator needs to go through the transformer circuit carried by the fuselage of the present invention before it can supply power for each DC motor of the robot.

[0041] Such as figure 1 As shown, the chassis 8 is the main part of the robot, and 4 wheels 10 are arranged on both sides of the chassis 8, and the rotating bracket axle box 7 is installed on the top of the chassis 8, and the chassis 8 and the rotating bracket axle box 7 all adopt Aluminum alloy material; the rotating electrical bo...

Abstract

The invention discloses a robot for detecting drainage pipeline video, which belongs to mechanical equipment for a pipeline. The integral structure of the robot comprises an image pickup system, a lens control system, a body driving mechanism, a software control and data transmission system and an illumination device. The members have the following relationships that: the driving system loads other systems to crawl in the pipeline, the lens control system is used for adjusting the position and angle of the image pickup system, the image pickup system acquires internal information of the illuminated pipeline, and finally the information is output to a computer screen through the data transmission system. The robot has small size, and is suitable for observing the environment in a sewer with the pipe diameter of 300 to 800 millimeters and the filling degree of no more than 50 percent; the gravity center of the body is low, so the robot is not easy to turn to one side; and the integral weight is lighter so as to facilitate field operation of workers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an instrument for pipelines, in particular to a video inspection robot for drainage pipelines. Background technique [0002] Pipeline inspection robot is an opto-mechanical-electrical integration system that can automatically walk along the inside of the pipeline, carry one or more sensors and operating machinery, and perform a series of pipeline operations under the remote operation of the operator or the automatic control of the computer. Drainage pipeline inspection robots can be used for pipe network acceptance, defect detection, dredging, repairing and other work. [0003] A complete pipeline detection robot system should be composed of a mobile carrier (crawler), a pipeline internal environment recognition and detection system, a signal transmission and power transmission system, and a control system. A general video inspection robot for drainage pipes should meet the following conditions: camera connected to the compute...
