Abstract

A subsea pipeline detection underwater robot. It is mainly to solve the problem that the traditional cabled underwater robot (ROV) is easily affected by ocean currents and the complex environment of the seabed. It is characterized in that the device includes an ROV body, a pipe clamping and traveling device and a detection device. The ROV body serves as a carrier to provide power for the pipe clamping device and the walking device. The ROV body mainly includes the carrier frame, manipulator, vertical thruster, horizontal thruster, buoyancy module, pressure chamber, platform, and hydraulic oil tank; the pipe clamping The running device is mainly used to clamp the pipe to ensure that the inner concave wheel is close to the pipe for walking. The pipe clamping device can be adjusted in size to adapt to pipes of different diameters; the detection device uses various sensors and various detection equipment to Support the ship to complete the comprehensive inspection of the submarine pipeline for the operation platform. The invention can reduce the impact of ocean currents on measurement stability and damage to the surrounding environment when traditional ROV thrusters are running.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to an operating machine used in the field of underwater operations and capable of performing omnidirectional detection of submarine pipelines. Background technique: [0002] As my country's offshore oil and gas development, especially deep-water oil and gas exploration and development becomes increasingly active, there are more and more submarine pipelines as an important part of oil field development and production. The detection of submarine pipelines has become particularly important. Submarine pipeline inspection ROVs mostly use floating cabled underwater robots (ROVs). Although the related technologies are relatively mature, floating ROVs use propellers to navigate underwater to detect submarine pipelines, which are vulnerable to ocean currents and complex environments on the seabed. In order to ensure the detection quality of the detection device during the detection process, it is necessary to precisely control the speed ...
