In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
As shown in fig. 1, the present invention provides a visual sensor-based pipeline robot, which mainly comprises three parts: a robot 1 for detection, a cable car 2 for taking in and out a cable, and a terminal controller 3 for transmitting and receiving signals, which are explained in detail below.
First, a description will be given of a detected robot including a crawler 10 and a pan/tilt head mechanism 11.

Such a structure is not complicated to control and is compact in arrangement. Therefore, the dual-motor full drive is adopted as the driving mode of the crawler.
The driving force of the wheels of the pipeline detection robot is output by two motors arranged in the crawler through a transmission mechanism. The developed pipeline detection robot adopts a six-wheel driving mode, has better walking capability in the pipeline compared with four-wheel driving, and has stronger driving force and obstacle crossing performance. In addition, gear transmission is used as a transmission mechanism of the pipeline detection robot, and compared with chain transmission and belt transmission, the gear transmission is more compact, a tensioning mechanism required by the chain transmission and the belt transmission is omitted, so that the size of a creeper body is more compact, and the defects of unstable transmission and high noise of the creeper body are overcome.
As shown in fig. 2, 6 wheels are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the chassis 101 of the crawler 10, wherein 4 large-sized wheels 1011 are used in the front and rear, two small-sized wheels 1012 are used in the middle, the large-sized wheels are used for supporting the vehicle body driving robot, and the small-sized wheels are used for assisting in climbing obstacles.
When the wheels are connected with the output shaft of the driving motor, high interchangeability is needed, the assembly and disassembly are simple, and the wheels with different sizes can be conveniently replaced when the pipeline detection robot inspects pipelines with different pipe diameters; in addition, each output shaft connecting end of the motor adopts a D-shaped design, a D-shaped shaft is called for short, a wheel connecting hole adopts a D-shaped hole design, the D-shaped shaft and the D-shaped hole are matched for transmission, compared with key transmission, the wheel shaft transmission clearance is reduced, the transmission precision is ensured, a tacking screw and an axial fastening bolt are added, and the wheel and the output shaft can be completely positioned.

When the receiving coil outside the pipeline and the transmitting coil inside the pipeline are close to each other, an alternating current pulse signal with certain electromotive force is induced, and the electromotive force induced by the receiving coil is larger and larger as the distance between the robot and the receiving coil is smaller. The distribution rule of extremely low frequency electromagnetic signals transmitted by the transmitting coil in the space outside the pipeline is the key for realizing robot positioning.
And designing an electromagnetic positioning system of the pipeline robot according to the analysis of the spatial distribution of the extremely-low-frequency electromagnetic signals outside the pipeline. The system is mainly divided into two parts, namely a very low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting system in the pipeline and a signal receiving system outside the pipeline. The extremely-low frequency electromagnetic signal transmitting system adopts a singlechip control circuit, and a time-varying current is introduced into a coil to transmit an extremely-low frequency electromagnetic signal of 23.5 Hz. The single chip microcomputer discretizes the extremely low frequency sinusoidal pulse signal, emits a discrete digital signal, drives a 16-bit DA converter MAX541, outputs a 23.5Hz extremely low frequency voltage signal through a DA conversion and amplifier, and emits the signal through an emitting coil. 12000 turns of enameled wire winding with the thickness of 0.2mm are adopted as a transmitting antenna.

When the receiving antenna is parallel to the pipeline, the moment when the received signal is maximum is the moment when the distance between the receiving antenna and the pipeline robot is the nearest. When the receiving antenna is placed perpendicular to the pipe, the received signal is first boosted, then weakened, and then boosted. When the antenna and the pipeline are vertical, the received signal is the weakest, and the robot is in the middle position of two strong signals. The singlechip is used for identifying the acquired signals, when the acquired electromagnetic signals are larger than a certain numerical value, voice prompt is carried out, the intensity of the acquired signals is displayed simultaneously, and the staff can identify and position according to the change rule of the intensity of the acquired signals.

Further, as shown in fig. 3, the pan/tilt head mechanism 11 includes a high definition camera 110 and a lifting arm 111, the high definition camera 110 is connected to the base 102 through the parallelogram-shaped lifting arm 111, and the lifting arm 111 is used for adjusting the height of the pan/tilt head camera to adapt to pipelines with different pipe diameters. The high-torque direct-current motor is arranged in the base, the height of the holder is adjusted through a parallelogram lifting arm structure, air spring supporting rods are arranged on lifting arms on two sides, in addition, a U-shaped ring 112 is arranged on the base 102 and used as a lifting ring of a pipeline detection robot descending pipeline wellhead, a camera can be protected, and a lens is prevented from being collided by mistake. The rear camera is arranged at the tail of the base, so that a real-time backing image can be provided, and the detection personnel can conveniently operate the robot to retreat. The base is also an important storage area for robot components and parts and is provided with a motor drive, a main control board, a power modem, a stabilized voltage power supply and the like.
The cloud platform is at the lifting in-process, and the speed increase can lead to the impact action time to reduce, increases driving motor's impact frequency, and the impact velocity is fast, and this can produce the harm to driving motor, has reduced the life of motor. The pan-tilt structure needs to be finely designed.
The design variables are first determined. In the lifting process of the holder mechanism, the mechanism design parameter influencing the torque of the motor is the hinge point interval l of the lifting arm rod1Horizontal distance d between hinge point of lifting arm rod and hinge point of gas spring support rodxPerpendicular distance dyAnd the lifter rotation angle α, so the design variables are:
X=(lldxdyα)T=(x1x2x3x4)T

And starting from the optimal lifting performance of the tripod head lifting mechanism, optimally determining the position of each hinge point in the tripod head lifting mechanism by taking the maximum torque required by the driving motor in the lifting process as an optimization objective function.

The pipeline detection robot goes deep into a pipeline to perform an endoscopic detection task, the camera acquires image information in the pipeline, the acquired image is subjected to transmission coding processing through video compression coding and high-speed image transmission, then is transmitted to an external main control system through a cable, and is displayed on a human-computer interface after demodulation and decoding processing. However, under normal circumstances, most of domestic pipeline inspection robots are short in pipeline endoscopic inspection, which is only about one hundred meters, and few foreign enterprises and research institutions can realize remote communication, so that remote data transmission is a common problem in the industry. The invention provides a pipeline detection robot combination
The H.264 video coding and decoding technology and the high-speed image transmission technology realize the remote video real-time communication between the pipeline detection robot and the host.
Because the amount of uncompressed video data is large, reasonable compression coding is often required to be performed on the video, so as to transmit clearer and smoother image information under a certain bandwidth. The pipeline detection robot designed by the invention is mainly applied to a system by adopting an H.264 coding and decoding technology.
The h.264 technology is a video coding and decoding technology jointly established by ITU-T and ISO, and is also a standard established according to the MPEG-4 technology. H.264 adopts a mixed coding mode, and meets the requirements of different rates and transmission applications. Meanwhile, H.264 has strong network adaptability, can be better applied to the fields of IP and wireless networks, and has great compression ratio advantage on dynamic images.
When the camera acquires the pipeline image, after the pipeline image is compressed and encoded by H.264, the video information is modulated by the high-speed image transmission module to form compressed data information. Data information is transmitted to the outside of the pipe system on the long cable, and is expressed on a human-computer interface through demodulation and image decoding, so that remote communication video display of the towing robot system is realized. In order to realize the remote video communication and the image data transmission of the pipeline robot system, a remote transmission system can be applied to a towing robot, two high-speed image transmission modules are adopted and respectively arranged in an external pipe system and a pipeline detection robot, and the image transmission modules applied by the invention can compress and code digital videos and images through a TC-PAM coding pulse amplitude modulation technology. After the camera collects image information inside the pipeline, compact video sequence information is obtained through H.264 video compression coding, TC-PAM modulation is carried out on the compact video sequence information through high-speed image transmission to obtain compressed data information, the data information is transmitted to an outside pipe system through a long cable, and a video image is obtained through demodulation and image decoding. The high-speed map transmission can use different working modes of TC-PAM4/8/16/32/64/128, the transmission data speed is 64 Kbps-15 Mbps, the TC-PAM is used for modulation, so that the transmission frequency spectrum is compressed, the anti-interference characteristic is enhanced, and the transmission distance is longer.
As shown in fig. 4, useful illuminating lamps 113 are arranged above and below the high-definition camera 110, when the pipeline inspection robot enters a pipeline to inspect, the auxiliary lighting of the holder light is turned on, the position and posture of the camera are adjusted by operating a virtual button on a software interface, so that a part to be inspected in the pipeline is in a proper position on the software interface, and then the camera is focused and zoomed, so that the image of the part to be inspected is clearer. The camera holder consists of a detachable camera, a holder part and a light part. The action of adjusting the position and the posture of the camera depends on the design and the arrangement of transmission mechanisms of each part, a stepping motor is arranged in the tripod head part, a female plug-in connecting shaft of the tripod head part is driven by gear transmission, a slip ring is adopted for wiring, a male plug of the camera part is matched with the female plug-in connecting shaft, the infinite rotation of 360 degrees in the circumferential direction of the camera is realized, the horizontal overturning of 270 degrees is realized, and the shell completely wraps the camera, so that the effect of protecting the camera is realized; a stepping motor arranged in the detachable camera part realizes up-and-down 90-degree swinging movement of the camera through belt transmission, and a transmission belt tensioning disc is designed, so that the belt transmission stability is improved; the installation position of the charging connector is reserved, so that the rear section can conveniently work in a sealing way; an air pressure indicating lamp is installed, and the air pressure inside the early warning swing motion part is insufficient. The camera is wrapped up completely to the camera shell, plays the effect of protection camera, and 4 pieces of floodlights of distribution in the protecgulum provide the illumination for the camera, and are equipped with two pieces of laser heads, detect the demarcation instrument of intraductal defect as the robot.
As shown in fig. 5, the cable reeling and unreeling trolley has a guiding function, the cable is guided by the guide wheel and the guide rod, the cable can synchronously move along with the screw nut, the rope inlet angle of the cable can be adjusted in real time, the cable and the winding drum can be always kept perpendicular and tangent, and the deviation phenomenon is avoided. In addition, the distance between the middle guide wheel (the guide wheel is positioned on the butt joint screw) and the coding wheel is reduced by applying spring force on the middle butt joint screw, and the pressing force on the cable is increased, wherein the pressing force is converted into the resistance of the cable. Sufficient cable resistance ensures that the cable between the guide pressing device and the winding drum is always in a tight state when the cable car is wound and unwound, and the problems of untight winding and disorderly winding and the like caused by insufficient winding and unwinding tension of the winding drum are avoided. The middle guide wheel can float in a certain range up and down by changing the compression amount of the spring. Therefore, the device can adapt to the guide pressing work of the reducing cable (the cable diameter range is not changed greatly). In addition, the middle guide wheel and the coding wheel are matched to compress the cable, the cable moves to drive the coding wheel to rotate, and at the moment, the length of the cable which is released and the instantaneous speed of the cable can be measured through the encoder.
The cable car is connected with the pipeline detection robot through the wireless remote controller and a composite cable to form a complete robot detection feedback system together, and the system is one of important devices in a pipeline detection robot system, but still has some problems in the actual working process. If the cable arranging mechanism of the cable car is not reasonably designed and calculated, the cable arranging quality is poor, and the winding of the winding drum is not uniform; the cable car is not designed with a guide pressing device which can adapt to the diameter-variable cable, so that the problems of loose cable arrangement, wire disorder and the like are caused, and the applicable cable diameter is single; the size parameter of the cable car winding drum is designed to be too large, and the space is not reasonably utilized, so that the overall volume of the cable car is too large, the weight is overweight, and the like. Therefore, the cable arranging device of the cable car needs to be reasonably and effectively improved. The invention combines the working principle of the wire arranging mechanism, carries out theoretical calculation on the wire arranging process, and designs the guiding and pressing device. The device has the following functions: when the cable is replaced by the cable car, the guide pressing device only needs to adjust the appropriate compression amount of the spring, and meanwhile, the reduction ratio between the winding drum and the reciprocating screw rod is changed, so that the cable can be re-arranged, and the problem that the traditional cable car only adapts to a single cable is solved.
The principle of the cable car for winding and unwinding the cable is briefly described, as shown in fig. 6, when the cable car is in operation, the winding drum continuously winds the cable, and the outer diameter (the outer diameter of the wire coil) after winding is related to the diameter and length of the winding drum, the length of the cable and the diameter of the cable. Suppose that cable car winding displacement rule is neat, and the cable is the even winding of heliciform on the bobbin, regards heliciform cable circle as the ring, when the bobbin was around arbitrary one deck a layer, the bobbin external diameter was:
when the winding drum finishes winding any layer a, the length of the wound cable is as follows:
S=nπ(D0+Φ)+nπ(D0+2Ф)+…+nπ(D0+aΦ)
wherein n is L/phi, and the finishing is as follows:
in the formula: s is cable length, L is bobbin length, D0The diameter of the winding reel, phi is the wire diameter of the cable, a is the number of layers of the cable, a is an integer larger than or equal to 0, and n is the number of turns of each layer of winding. After the length S and the diameter phi of the cable are determined, the proper length L of the winding reel is given according to the size index requirement of the cable car, and the number a of winding layers and the diameter D of the winding reel can be determined0The relationship (2) of (c). Different value of layer number a corresponding to different value of bobbin diameter D0And a bobbin outer diameter D. After the parameter values are determined according to actual conditions, the parameter values are substituted into the formula, and then the proper diameter of the winding drum can be determined.
Through optimizing cable car bobbin, avoided winding displacement quality poor, the bobbin winding inhomogeneous, the scheduling problem of disorderly line, the rational utilization space reduces the holistic quality of cable car and volume, and winding displacement length reaches 600m, has extended the distance that the pipeline detected.
The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. Various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and still fall within the scope of the invention.
