Description

A kind of pipeline climbing robot and its method of creeping
Technical field
The invention belongs to bio-robot technical field, specifically a kind of pipeline climbing robot and its method of creeping.
Background technique
As one of global 5 big means of transportation, oil gas transport occupies critically important status in national economy, and pipeline transports Oil and natural gas has a wide range of applications.Once the pipeline for transporting oil gas generates damage and leakage, huge loss will be caused. Pipeline is generally all buried in underground, seabed or building, this brings big inconvenience for artificial maintenance.And pipeline is excavated The traditional approach overhauled will cause the damage of pipeline and the waste of manpower again.Therefore, it is always to the detection work of pipeline The problem of every country is paid close attention to.
Nowadays, with the raising of information technology and control technology, huge development that robot technology obtains.Various function The robot of energy also appears in people's production and life, and the research of pipe robot also starts to carry out.Pipeline machine People is a kind of various sensing detecting instruments of configuration, controller and executes operating mechanism, instead of the mankind execute pipeline detection, maintenance, The automation of the job tasks such as cleaning or semi-automatic machine system.Entered inside pipeline using pipe robot, completes detection With the work of reparation, the labor intensity of worker is not only reduced, and improves the efficiency and stability of detection.Therefore, pipeline There is critically important research significance in robot.
Creeping motion type pipe robot uses bionics principle, imitates earthworm, the motion mode of the animals such as caterpillar.It is moved Process is as follows: the tensioning of robot front end touch pipeline first, and rear end is detached from and travels forward;Rear end tensioning later touch pipeline, preceding End travels forward, to realize the stretching motion of front and back end.Compared to wheeled robot, the advantages of such humanoid robot is obstacle detouring Ability is stronger, can be and smaller to the abrasion of tube wall by the track of relatively large bending radius.But due to creeping motion type pipe robot Pneumatic actuation is mostly used greatly, tractive force is limited, and motion mode energy loss is larger, is usually used in the short-range pipeline inspection of small diameter tube It surveys.
The Chinese invention patent of Publication No. CN107842666A discloses a kind of imitative caterpillar wriggle pipeline climbing robot And its control method, the robot include self-clamping module, displacement module, wriggling joint and a cradle head;Wherein, mould is clamped Block by bevel gear transmission in the torque transfer to screw rod of motor so that screw sliding block is moved along screw rod direction, By scissor mechanism by lever principle clamping force greatly and the characteristics of while clamping shrinks forward, realize clamping of the gripper outside pipe and Support in pipe;Displacement module drives the combination fortune of active connecting plate rotation by two cylinder elongated distance differences and motor It is dynamic, make self-clamping module planar flexible rotating;Then pass through the past of the alternating clamping movements of two grippers and telescopic joint electric cylinders Linear motion makes Robot pipeline creeping;This application, which has, creeps and manages the outer two kinds of operating modes creeped in pipe; But but its structure is more complicated, higher cost;And its displacement module uses pneumatic actuation, tractive force is limited, motion mode Energy loss is larger, and is not suitable for bend pipe and creeps.

The method 7. pipe robot according to claim 6 is creeped, which is characterized in that the telescoping mechanism of robot, which is in, to be received When contracting state, the first eccentric wheel and the second eccentric wheel of the telescoping mechanism are in initial position;When control module control the When one motor and the second motor synchronous operating half period, first eccentric wheel and the second eccentric wheel rotate synchronously half Week, at this point, telescoping mechanism is converted to tensional state by contraction state;When control module controls the first motor and the second motor When continuing to operate synchronously half period, first eccentric wheel and the second eccentric wheel continue synchronous rotation half cycle and return to initial bit It sets, at this point, telescoping mechanism is converted to contraction state by tensional state.
The method 8. pipe robot according to claim 6 is creeped, which is characterized in that when the telescoping mechanism of robot enters When bend, Differential Control is carried out to the first motor and the second motor by control module, control module controls telescoping mechanism The first motor operation a quarter period of close curve inner side, the second motor operation half week on the outside of bend Phase makes the first eccentric wheel rotation a quarter week, and the second eccentric wheel rotates half cycle, i.e. realization telescoping mechanism is close to curve inner side Support link low-angle stretches, and the support link wide-angle on the outside of bend stretches.
