Problems solved by technology

However, due to the limitation of its driving mechanism, this kind of pipeline robot generally has the following problems: 1. The drag force is small, and its drag force only comes from the friction force between the wheels and the pipeline, and the friction force is determined by the weight of the trolley. Often the weight of the trolley is small, and the drag force will not be too large; 2. The adaptability of the pipe diameter is poor. A pipe robot of one specification can basically only correspond to the pipe of the corresponding specification, and it is difficult to adapt to the use requirements of different pipes; 3. It is difficult to actively adapt to the change of pipe diameter, including the difficulty of adapting to the change of pipe diameter and the change of pipe path; 4. The ability to overcome obstacles is insufficient, and it is difficult to cross large obstacles

Abstract

The invention relates to a pipeline robot. The pipeline robot comprises a bracket unit, walking units, driving units and a power unit, wherein the bracket unit is a support frame of the pipeline robot, the walking units contact with a pipeline to drag the pipeline robot to move, the driving units are connected with the walking units and the power unit to transfer power, and the power unit provides the walking power to the pipeline robot. The pipeline robot has advantages of simple and reasonable structure, convenient assembly and maintenance, large dragging force and good obstacle-surmounting capacity and is suitable for pipelines of different pipe diameters and shapes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of robots, in particular to pipeline robots. Background technique [0002] With the development of the economy and the advancement of science and technology, pipeline transportation technology has been widely used in various aspects such as power transmission lines, oil, natural gas, chemical raw materials and domestic water. Years of application have made the corrosion and blockage of the pipeline more and more serious, which can easily cause various dangers such as low transmission efficiency and pipeline damage. In order to solve the above problems, the pipeline robot is a kind of crawling carrier in the pipeline developed by scientific researchers, which is used to drag the cleaning, obstacle removal, inspection, traction, repair and other instruments in the pipeline to complete various in-pipe operations. In recent years, with the rapid development of computer technology and electromechanical technology, pipelin...
