Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of robots, and particularly relates to a pipeline robot which comprises two drive modules, two air bags, an air pump assembly and at least two soft shafts.The at least two soft shafts are arranged between the two drive modules; two ends of the soft shafts are arranged in the corresponding drive modules; the drive modules can move along the axial directions of the soft shafts; the air bags have two states, namely, an inflating state and a deflating state; when the two air bags are at the inflating state at the same time, the pipeline robot can be fixed into a pipeline; when the two air bags are at the deflating state at the same time, the pipeline robot can move in the pipeline through a driving assembly; and when the two air bags inflate and deflate alternatively, by cooperating with the pumping of the soft shafts in a wire feeding assembly, the pipeline robot can wriggle in the pipeline. By changing the states of the air bags, the state and the movement mode of the pipeline robot can be changed, so that the pipeline robot can better adapt to a complicated environment in the pipeline.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of robots, and in particular relates to a pipeline robot. Background technique [0002] As an indispensable part of modern life, pipelines will inevitably be damaged due to long-term environmental corrosion and external force. During the use of the pipeline, various problems such as pipeline failure, blockage and damage will occur. If the pipeline is not detected and repaired in time, serious accidents will occur. Traditional methods such as manual inspection, random sampling, and regular replacement have disadvantages such as large engineering volume, high cost, and high risk factor. In order to ensure the safe use of pipelines, regular inspection and maintenance are very important, but most pipelines are buried underground, which is difficult to detect manually. [0003] In the 1970s, the maintenance needs of pipelines and containers in harsh environments such as oil, natural gas, and nuclear industries ...
