Tunnel inspection robot
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of special robots, in particular to a tunnel inspection robot.
Background
At present, the domestic tunnel robot is already developed and applied in part of comprehensive pipe racks and cable tunnels.
Tunnels are typically constructed underground, and a communication environment cannot be established through a ground wireless communication base station, so that a dedicated communication system must be introduced for the tunnels. In addition, the wireless signal decays more rapidly in the tunnel than in the open place, and the signal relay station is also the key point of communication environment construction. If the wireless communication system is not improved, finally, in order to construct the wireless communication environment of the inspection robot in the tunnel, a wireless communication relay station with an antenna must be constructed every 100 m. The method not only greatly improves the engineering quantity and construction cost of the tunnel inspection robot, but also causes more burden on the operation safety work in the tunnel because each relay station is necessarily provided with an independent power supply and is excessively led into the relay station from the aspect of safety.
In addition, sagging and deformation of the tunnel body are also important contents of detection. Although the underground pipeline tunnel is developed in China relatively mature, the long underground tunnel line is extremely easy to damage, such as rolling of heavy-duty automobiles, earthquakes, water and soil loss and the like, so that cracks and even collapse occur at the upper part of the tunnel, and serious influence is caused on urban traffic, communication and power supply. Therefore, real-time monitoring of the structural safety of the cable tunnel is very necessary. However, the current tunnel inspection robots do not have this function.

As a specific embodiment, the robot body includes a driving mechanism 2, a fall protection mechanism 3, and a motion platform 4.
In this embodiment, the tunnel is provided with a hanger 101, the hanger 101 is fixed on a wall in the tunnel, and the hanger 101 is fixedly connected with a transverse bracket 103. The top end face of the track 103 is a plane, a threaded hole is formed in the top end face, and the transverse support 103 is fixed with the top end face and specifically can be fixedly connected through a screw. The track 103 comprises two steel pipes symmetrically arranged. The traditional rail adopts an aluminum alloy rail hanging type driving technology, and the aluminum alloy has the advantages of light weight, rust prevention and the like, but has relatively high price; for cable tunnels with lengths of more than ten kilometers, the track cost is very high; in addition, the traditional I-shaped track is adopted by the cable tunnel inspection robot at present, and the track with a larger sectional area tends to occupy a larger tunnel space. The invention adopts the hollow steel pipe track, has high strength, low cost and light weight, and effectively reduces the detection cost of the tunnel; the track adopting the steel pipe form can reduce the tunnel space that occupies, is favorable to the robot operation. Further, in order to prevent rust on the surface of the steel pipe, chromium is plated on the surface of the steel pipe. The track adopted in the embodiment is a hollow steel pipe, and the leaky wave cable 6 is positioned in the hollow steel pipe, so that the wiring space of the leaky wave cable 6 is saved, and meanwhile, the abrasion and damage of the leaky wave cable 6 arranged on the outer side to the cable are avoided.

The wireless client 701 is configured to receive a signal transmitted by the leaky wave cable 6. Further, in order to leak out the signal of the leaky wave cable 6, a plurality of through holes 104 are formed at equal intervals below the track, so as to form a plurality of uniformly arranged wireless fields for communication with the robot. The shape of the through-hole 104 is not limited, and specifically, the through-hole 104 is a circular hole. The leaky cable 6 is capable of radiating a regular signal area around a designated area of the cable, which ensures that a stable and reliable communication link is established between the wireless client 701 and the wireless access terminal 601 and provides certain data cycle access.

On the other hand, the wireless client 701 transmits the monitoring information to the background 8 through the leaky cable 6, the wireless access terminal 601, and the optical fiber 9.
Tunnels are typically constructed underground, and a communication environment cannot be established through a ground wireless communication base station, so that a dedicated communication system must be introduced for the tunnels. In addition, the wireless signal decays more rapidly in the tunnel than in the open place, and the signal relay station is also the key point of communication environment construction. At present, a wireless communication relay station with an antenna must be built every 100m to construct a wireless communication environment of the inspection robot in the tunnel, so that the engineering quantity and construction cost of the tunnel inspection robot are greatly improved, each relay station must have an independent power supply in terms of safety, and the relay stations are excessively introduced to cause greater burden for operation safety work in the tunnel. Therefore, the leaky wave cable 6 communication mode is adopted, the communication is reliable, and the defect that a plurality of relay points are required to be arranged when a tunnel is longer is avoided.
