Pipeline robot

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of robots, in particular to a pipeline robot. The pipeline robot comprises a bracket unit and a walking unit, and is characterized in that the bracket unit comprisesa positive triangular prism-shaped main body bracket, connecting brackets and bottom brackets, and the walking unit comprises three sets of crawler wheels which are evenly distributed at intervals inthe circumferential direction and use the central axis of the positive triangular prism-shaped main body bracket as the center; the crawler wheels are mounted at the bottom brackets, and the triangular prism-shaped main body bracket is connected with the bottom brackets through the connecting brackets; one ends of the connecting brackets are hinged to the triangular prism-shaped main body bracket, and the other end of the triangular prism-shaped main body bracket is hinged to the bottom brackets; electric push rods are arranged between the connecting brackets and the main body bracket, and one ends of the electric push rods are hinged to the main body bracket; and the other ends of the electric push rods are hinged to the middle parts of the connecting brackets. The pipeline robot has theadvantages of high pipeline adaptability, independent extension and contraction of the three crawler wheels and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of robots, in particular to a pipeline robot. Background technique [0002] The pipeline robot is a kind of machine, electricity and instrument that can automatically walk along the inside or outside of a small pipeline, carry one or more sensors and operate machinery, and perform a series of pipeline operations under the remote operation of the staff or the automatic control of the computer. system. Pipelines are widely used as an effective means of material transportation. In order to improve the life of pipelines and prevent accidents such as leakage, effective detection and maintenance of pipelines must be carried out. In the case of many shortcomings in the manual inspection method, the pipeline inspection robot has been used more and more as an effective pipeline inspection equipment. [0003] Three groups of crawler motion mechanisms are evenly distributed in the radial direction. It is a supported crawler pi...

Problems solved by technology

However, once there is an obstacle in the pipeline, it cannot pass through its own active adjustment, and the adaptability of the pipeline wall is very weak; in addition, the diameter of the pipeline robot changes little, and it can only detect single-diameter pipelines, which is poor in practicability, especially in the detection of large For pipelines, the diameter of the track wheels or the frame can only be enlarged, which makes the machine very heavy and inconvenient to transport and use. In addition, this robot is only equipped with a camera to perform image preprocessing, obtain edge information, and analyze the information inside the pipeline. Very limited access and control
