An Adaptive Pipeline Flaw Detection Robot

Abstract

The invention discloses a self-adaption pipeline inspection robot. The self-adaption pipeline inspection robot comprises bionic torpedo-shaped probes, two power drive devices and a power delivery device, wherein the bionic torpedo-shaped probes are symmetrically arranged at the head end and the tail end of the body of the inspection robot, the power drive devices are connected with the rear ends of the bionic torpedo-shaped probes in two directions respectively, and the power delivery device is connected between the two power drive devices through cross universal couplings. Each power drive device comprises a fixed rack and at least three driving wheel mechanisms evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the fixed rack. The fixed racks are fixed to the rear ends of the bionic torpedo-shaped probes in two directions in a connected manner respectively. Each fixed rack is further provided with a wheel mechanism radial adjustment device used for adjusting the radial position of the corresponding driving wheel mechanism. The power delivery device comprises a shell and at least three driving wheel mechanisms which are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the shell. The self-adaption pipeline inspection robot can carry out inspection on pipelines with different radiuses, and has the advantage of self-adaption; and at the same time, the self-adaption pipeline inspection robot is low in cost, simple in structure and capable of being applied to detecting pipelines in special environments, and has good promotional value.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electromechanical control, in particular to an adaptive pipeline flaw detection robot. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of the economy and the continuous updating of industrial technology, pipes are almost everywhere from daily life to industrial and agricultural production, and circular pipes are the most widely used. Once a pipeline accident occurs, normal production and life will be affected, and even cause serious consequences such as environmental pollution or explosion. In addition, there are tubular workpieces on a lot of equipment, such as boiler tubes, heat exchanger tubes, evaporator tubes, petroleum cracking furnace tubes, etc. These tubular workpieces are the same as pipelines, and their safety needs to be guaranteed. With the widespread popularization and application of computer technology, the detection technology at home and abroad has developed rapidly, and pi...

Problems solved by technology

The traditional pipeline inspection technology and equipment maintenance adopt a manual excavation cleaning maintenance plan with random selection, which has great chance and randomness and cannot completely eliminate the hidden dangers caused by pipeline damage
