Problems solved by technology

At present, a lot of research has been done on micro-pipe robots at home and abroad. Although they have their own characteristics and advantages in structure and technology, their reliability and practicability have not fully met the requirements of industrial applications. For example, Zhejiang University proposed a new Peristaltic pneumatic micro-pipeline robot, because it is driven by air pressure, the pipeline system is complicated and it is not easy to miniaturize
There are also robots that mainly rely on the force on the inner wall of the support tube to achieve peristalsis, that is, rely on sealing force, magnetic adsorption or vacuum adsorption to achieve peristalsis. The increase or decrease of the adsorption area may cause the robot to get stuck or slip in the pipeline and cannot work normally

Abstract

The invention relates to a minitype pipeline robot which comprises a minitype camera, a camera swing piece, a minitype motor, a flexible connecting pipe, a vehicle wheel walking mechanism, a vehicle wheel stretching mechanism, a planetary gear speed reducing mechanism, a first minitype motor, a planetary vehicle wheel frame, vehicle wheels, a worm wheel and a worm. The minitype camera shoots the internal conditions of a pipeline and shoots peripheral states through the camera swing piece, and the minitype motor drives the whole equipment to move in the pipeline. The minitype pipeline robot solves the detection problem in the minitype pipeline, is simple in operation, convenient to carry, large in power and high in speed and accuracy, improves the pipeline detection efficiency and lowers the error rate of the detection.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a pipeline inspection product, in particular to a miniature pipeline robot. Background technique [0002] In general industry, nuclear facilities, oil and gas, military equipment and other fields, pipelines are widely used as an effective means of material transportation. In order to improve the life of pipelines and prevent accidents such as leakage, it is necessary to carry out effective detection and maintenance of pipelines. Pipeline robots are created to meet the above needs. Due to the complex environment in the pipeline, the design of the pipeline robot requires the drive unit to have a simple structure, high drive efficiency, and the ability to adapt to the complex environment in the pipeline. Micro pipeline robot is an important part of the research field of micro robots. It has the characteristics of small size and low energy consumption. It can enter the narrow space that ordinary mechanical systems cannot enter, an...
