(2) After reaching the specified position, the self-adaptive air bag 3-3 is inflated according to the preset air pressure, and then the driving motor 3-10 drives the cam disc 3-5 to rotate, so that the air bag support 3-4 and the self-adaptive air bag 3-3 are driven to radially move, the self-adaptive air bag 3-3 is tightly attached to the inner wall of the pipeline, and the robot is ensured to be stably fixed in the pipe wall.
(3) The driving motor III 3-13 drives the functional platform 3-8 and the grinding machine on the functional platform 3-8 to stretch out, the grinding machine is started to perform point-to-point treatment on a position to be ground or processed, the gear reciprocates along the arc-shaped teeth 3-15 through forward and reverse rotation of the motor of the grinding machine, the loading platform 3-2 is driven to rotate around the axis through cooperation of the driving motor II 3-11 and the slewing bearing 3-12, so that the grinding machine is driven to rotate, multi-angle treatment on the position to be processed is realized, and the grinding effect is ensured.
(4) After the sander is started, the ventilation fan 1-5 is started, dust generated by sanding is timely output, and heat generated by sanding is discharged.
(5) And after finishing polishing, the driving motor III 3-13 drives the functional platform 3-8 and the polishing machine to reversely move and retract, meanwhile, the self-adaptive air bag 3-3 deflates, the driving motor I3-10 drives the cam disc 3-5 to reversely rotate, and the air bag bracket 3-4 is driven to retract.
(6) And when the movement reaches a designated position, the driving motor IV 1-8 drives the screw shaft 1-6 to reversely rotate, the walking assembly is folded and separated from the inner wall of the pipeline, and the flexible pipeline robot is taken out.
Further, can install the camera of visualing on functional platform 3-8, make things convenient for operating personnel to know polishing position and precision, guarantee the treatment effect to the pipeline.
When the processing device 3-7 is another machine, corresponding adjustment can be performed according to the above, and will not be described herein.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the invention is not intended to limit the invention to the precise form disclosed, and any such modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention are intended to be included within the scope of the invention.
