A screw-driven pipeline robot

Abstract

The invention discloses a spiral driving pipeline robot. The spiral driving pipeline robot comprises a robot body and a remote control box which are connected with each other through an cable, the robot body comprises a driving mechanism, a walking mechanism and a control system, the driving mechanism comprises a driving wheel rack, driving wheels are mounted on the driving wheel rack, the walking mechanism comprises a walking body, and guide wheels are disposed on the walking body. According to the spiral driving pipeline robot, a spiral driving mode is utilized, the robot can specially work in an elongated pipeline that people can not reach so as to perform cleaning, detecting, wiring and the like, an artificial intelligence control technology is applied, and thereby, the walking process of the robot in the pipeline is smooth. Besides, the spiral driving pipeline robot is high in driving force and stable in moving speed, walking speed and angles of the robot can be changed with the change of working environment by the aid of remote control so as to be adapted to changeable conditions in the pipeline, and specific implementation of investigation, cleaning and the like in actual application is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a pipeline robot, in particular to a screw-driven pipeline robot. Background technique [0002] Pipeline transportation is a long-distance transportation method of liquid and gas materials using pipelines as a means of transportation. It is a special component of trunk transportation in the unified transportation network. Pipeline transportation is not only large in volume, continuous, rapid, economical, safe, reliable and stable, but also requires less investment, occupies less land, and costs less, and can also realize automatic control. In addition, pipeline transportation can also save the transit link in the process of water or land transportation, shorten the transportation cycle, reduce transportation costs, and improve transportation efficiency. At present, pipeline transportation is gradually developing in the direction of increasing pipeline diameter, greatly improving transportation capacity, rapidly increasing pipe...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, due to the limitations of their own structures, the above pipeline robots often have the following problems in practical applications: (1) Poor adaptability to pipelines. Due to the limitations of their mechanical structures, the size of pipeline robots cannot be made very large. Small, it is difficult to apply in pipelines with small diameters; (2), poor obstacle-crossing performance, difficult to move in bumps, pits and corners, resulting in halfway stops, difficult to complete maintenance tasks; (3), inside the pipeline Mud, foreign matter, or deformation of the pipe itself will hinder the movement of the robot, and even cause the robot to roll over or get stuck

[0005] Pipeline robots with special structures, such as piezoelectric-driven and cilia-driven robots, are less practical due to their limited load capacity.
