The traveling wheels travel by arranging three pinions on the ring gear.
The annular gear II is driven by a gear I driven by a traveling wheel driving motor, and the gear II drives a gear III and a gear IV after obtaining moment. The first gear transmits torque to the travelling wheels through universal joints, so that the travelling wheels can drive the whole pipeline robot; the universal joint plays a role in adjusting and adapting to unequal diameters besides transmitting torque. The non-equal-diameter vertical pipeline robot can stably walk in the pipeline through the design of an umbrella structure consisting of a connecting rod I, a connecting rod II, a shaft sleeve and a lead screw; the umbrella structure realizes synchronous expansion or contraction through the ball screw and the nut which are screwed to different directions at the two ends of the robot body; the pressure generated when the walking wheel changes the diameter is received by a pressure sensor arranged on the ball screw; the pressure sensor feeds the received pressure signal back to the pressing force adjusting motor; the pressing force adjusting motor makes corresponding rotation amount after receiving the signal so as to adapt to stable walking of the walking wheel on different pipe diameters.
When the pipeline robot moves vertically in the axial direction, the motion state of the mechanism can be changed under the comprehensive action of the force. The driving wheel of the pipeline robot and the inner wall of the pipeline can generate axial friction force and radial friction force, the driving motor overcomes the axial friction force, the axial friction force provides advancing power, and the radial friction force provides circumferential force. When the front end load is too big, through the force sensor feedback adjustment motor of installation, ball starts, adjusts the friction force that can increase walking wheel and pipe wall through the umbrella structure.
