Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the drawings and examples, in order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for purposes of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
Referring to fig. 1-4, a preferred embodiment of a pipe robot according to the present invention is provided, comprising: two drive modules 1 and at least two flexible shafts 2. At least two flexible shafts 2 are arranged between the two driving modules 1, and two ends of the at least two flexible shafts 2 are respectively arranged in the corresponding driving modules 1. The driving module 1 comprises a driving assembly 11, a wire feeding assembly 12 and a fixing seat 13, the wire feeding assembly 12 and the driving assembly 11 are both installed on the fixing seat 13, the wire feeding assemblies are in one-to-one correspondence with the flexible shafts, the end parts of the flexible shafts 2 penetrate through the corresponding wire feeding assemblies 12, the wire feeding assemblies 12 penetrated by the same flexible shaft 2 are pumped along the axis of the flexible shaft 2, and the driving assembly 11 is used for moving in a pipeline.
The pipeline robot further comprises an air pump assembly and two air bags 5, the two air bags 5 are respectively sleeved on the two fixing seats 13, the two air bags 5 are connected with the air pump assembly, and when the air bags 5 are inflated with air, the outer parts of the air bags 5 can be propped against the inner wall of the pipeline. The outer wall of the balloon 5 is made of a material having a strong friction force.
The air bags 5 are in two states of inflation and deflation, when the two air bags 5 are in the deflation state at the same time, wheels of the running assemblies 11 in the two driving modules 1 are in contact with the inner wall of the pipeline, and the running assemblies 11 drive the pipeline robot to move in the pipeline; the two air bags 5 are in an inflated state at the same time, when the two air bags 5 are full of air, wheels of the running assembly 11 in the two driving modules 1 are separated from the inner wall of the pipeline, and at the moment, the pipeline robot can be fixed in the pipeline for detection, detection and other operations due to the strong friction force of the outer wall of the air bags 5; the two air bags 5 are alternately inflated and deflated, and the pipeline robot can peristaltic in the pipeline in cooperation with the pumping of the flexible shaft in the wire feeding assembly 12, and the peristaltic mode is mostly used when the pipeline robot climbs a vertical pipeline. The method comprises the following steps that an air bag 5 at the head part of the pipeline robot is inflated, an air bag 5 at the tail part is deflated, at the moment, the head part of the pipeline robot is fixed in a pipeline, the tail part driving module 1 is enabled to move towards the direction close to the head part driving module 1 through the pumping of the flexible shaft 2 in the wire feeding assembly 12, after the tail part driving module 1 moves to a certain position, the air bag 5 at the tail part is inflated, the air bag 5 at the head part is deflated, at the moment, the tail part of the pipeline robot is fixed in the pipeline, and the head part driving module 1 is enabled to move towards the direction far away from the tail part driving module 1 through the pumping of the flexible shaft 2 in the wire feeding assembly 12. The pipeline robot can climb in the vertical pipeline by circulating in the way, and can adapt to the complex environment in the pipeline better.
In addition, when the pipeline robot encounters a T-shaped curve and needs to turn to one side, the wire feeding assembly in the driving module close to the curve starts to pump the side flexible shaft, so that the driving module close to the curve moves along the side flexible shaft towards the other driving module, and at the moment, the length of the flexible shaft between the two driving modules at the side is smaller than that of the flexible shaft between the two driving modules at the other side, so that the head of the pipeline robot deflects, and the pipeline robot can smoothly pass through the curve. Because the turning angle of the pipeline robot is determined by the length of each flexible shaft between the two driving modules, the turning angle of the pipeline robot can be adjusted according to the needs so as to adapt to various complex curves in the pipeline, the problem that the existing pipeline robot cannot turn when encountering the complex curves in the pipeline is solved, and the performance of products is improved.
