Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of these schemes is that there is no effective mechanism for clearing obstacles, and the cleaning and dredging of pipelines cannot be completed.
[0004] In response to the above problems, Chinese patent 201610047373.3 discloses a crawler wheel pipe cleaning robot that can adapt to different pipe diameters, but this invention exposes the gears directly, which is easy to get stuck in the process of cleaning obstacles
[0005] In addition, in terms of detection, the current solution is only to use a camera to collect images, such as the pipeline robot disclosed in Chinese patent 201010240870.8, which uses a camera to collect avatars and uses a dedicated data line to send the data back. Make the robot's walking distance limited

Embodiment Construction

[0015] In order to describe the technical content, achieved goals and effects of the present invention in detail, the following descriptions will be made in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0016] The most critical idea of ​​the present invention is: the walking mechanism 1 of crawler-type pipeline robot comprises crawler-type traveling wheel 1-5 and crawler-type pressing wheel 1-1, utilizes pressing wheel to compress the top of pipeline inner wall, and walking wheel then compresses pipeline The bottom of the inner wall enables the robot to cling to the pipe wall in the pipeline, increasing the friction between the walking wheel and the pipe wall, improving the driving ability, and reducing the impact of the recoil generated by the tracked pipeline robot when cleaning obstacles. It can also Adapt to pipes of different sizes, and automatically adjust the height of the vehicle body.

[0017] Please refer to figure 1 as well as figure 2 , a crawler...

Abstract

The invention discloses a crawler-type pipeline robot, comprising a vehicle body, a walking mechanism, a cleaning mechanism and an electronic control system. The walking mechanism comprises two crawler-type walking wheels, two crawler-type pressing wheels and two wheel grooves, wherein the crawler-type walking wheels are arranged on two sides below the vehicle body, the crawler-type pressing wheels are arranged within the wheel grooves, the two wheel grooves are separately connected to the two sides of the upper portion of the vehicle body through telescopic rods, and each telescopic rod is sleeved with a spring. The crawler-type pipeline robot can perform long-distance walk within a pipeline stably, and carry out pipeline exploration and cleaning work effectively.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of robots, in particular to a crawler-type small pipeline robot. Background technique [0002] After a long period of use, the inner wall of the pipeline is no longer as smooth as a newly laid pipeline, and scale and impurities will adhere to different degrees, resulting in uneven inner walls of the pipeline. For example, the inner wall of the water pipe will produce scale, rust and other deposits, and the inner diameter of the oil pipeline will be blocked, which will greatly increase the resistance during the fluid transportation process, greatly reduce the transportation capacity of the pipeline, and cause corrosion to the pipeline material. In severe cases, the pipeline will rupture, causing the leakage of the transport fluid, or even the danger of bursting. Therefore, pipeline robots have great application value in modern pipeline inspection and maintenance, especially in environments with small diameter pipeline...
