Description

Walking scanning device for outer wall of pipeline
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of pipeline nondestructive testing, in particular to a pipeline outer wall walking scanning device.
Background
Plumbing used in the related industry requires periodic maintenance and repair depending on the environment of use and the degree of wear due to the corrosive and impact effects of the fluid. The detection process of the defects of the pipe wall of the pipeline usually depends on manual scanning and detection, and the working efficiency is low. Therefore, in order to improve the inspection efficiency and reduce the labor cost, a walking scanning robot for the outer wall of the pipeline is provided to realize automatic scanning work.
The detection robot for the outer wall of the pipe is one of important development directions in the field of industrial robots, and has good application in the fields of industrial and civil production processes such as petrochemical pipeline detection industry, bridge construction, living resources and the like. In the pipeline maintenance process, the manual detection operation efficiency is low, the error detection rate is high, repeated detection is needed in part of occasions, and the safety of the operation environment is low. In order to solve the problems, many scholars at home and abroad research on the mechanism for climbing the wall by walking outside the pipeline. Common pipe defects can be divided into two categories: 1) Defects generated during the manufacture of the pipeline, such as air holes, crack pits and the like generated during the welding of the pipeline; 2) The long-term operation of the pipeline causes corrosion, damage and the like inside and outside the pipe wall. Corrosion of the outer pipe wall is typically caused by the external environment of the pipe; corrosion of the inner wall is usually caused by the transmission of a carrier containing corrosive substances, and pits, holes, thinning and the like can occur on the inner wall. In addition, some special pipelines are composed of complex connecting members, including turning joints, crosses, T joints and the like, and meanwhile, various valves, auxiliary safety devices and the like are further included, so that the space range in which detection can be operated is reduced, and therefore detection is difficult to carry out in a plurality of narrow areas, and omnibearing scanning of the pipelines cannot be realized. Most of the currently developed pipeline robots cannot realize all-dimensional blind spot-free scanning work according to the detection process requirements, so that the running mechanism on the outer wall of the pipeline needs to be developed to complete the functions.
At present, the pipeline wall climbing robots are of various types and can be divided into mechanical enclasping, gravity locking and bionic modes according to pipeline clamping modes. The mechanical enclasping type is more in variety, is more mature in development, and can be divided into wheel type, crawler type, foot type and other mechanism types according to a moving mode. The disclosed patent CN208239365U discloses a pipeline scanning device based on phased array double probes, the disclosed patent CN109668964A discloses a pipeline scanning frame, the disclosed patent CN108407909A discloses a pipeline external flaw detection walking robot, wherein the first disclosed patent completes one week of detection on a pipeline through two scanning probes, the mechanism in the second disclosed patent only can complete circumferential scanning on the pipeline, and the pipeline in the third disclosed patent is subjected to linear scanning. All three patents can not scan the pipeline in all directions, and if an obstacle is encountered or the pipeline turns, the detection work can not be completed, so that the scanning detection effect and efficiency are affected.

The specific working process of adopting the pipeline outer wall walking scanning device to carry out walking scanning on the pipeline is as follows:
firstly, controlling linear push rods on two clamping claws 2 to enable two clamping arms 2f to be transversely opened to a width larger than the outer diameter of a pipeline to be detected, hoisting the device above a horizontal section of the pipeline to be detected through hoisting equipment, gradually lowering the device, and enabling two sensor brackets 1 and the two clamping claws 2 to encircle a detection starting end on the outer side of the pipeline; the two clamping arms 2f are controlled to transversely retract and straighten through the linear push rods on the two clamping claws 2 until the two clamping arms 2f are surrounded on the outer wall of the pipeline, and at the moment, the driving wheel 2j, the auxiliary wheel 2b and the rollers on the two clamping wheel modules 2g are tightly abutted on the outer wall of the pipeline; then, the sensors arranged on the two sensor brackets 1 are adjusted so that the distances from the detection ends of the sensors to the outer wall of the pipeline are kept the same; then, starting the gear driving motor, enabling the gear driving motor to rotate 90 degrees clockwise and then rotate 90 degrees anticlockwise, namely completing 360-degree detection work of the pipeline at the detection starting end, and transmitting information data acquired by the sensor to a remote industrial personal computer for result analysis;
after the pipeline outer wall walking scanning device completes detection of the pipeline detection starting end, the pipeline outer wall walking scanning device needs to move to a new detection section through walking; specifically, the walking driving motors on the two clamping claws 2 are started to synchronously rotate to drive the two driving wheels 2j to drive the auxiliary wheels 2b to rotate, and simultaneously under the rotation action of the rollers on the two holding wheel modules 2g, the clamping claws 2 drive the sensor bracket 1 and the turnover mechanism 3 to jointly move along the outer wall of the pipeline to the next pipeline detection section; repeating the detection process of the device in the pipeline initial detection section to finish the pipeline detection of a new detection section;
when the pipeline to be detected is changed from a horizontal section to a vertical section, the pipeline outer wall walking scanning device can also finish steering walking through the turnover mechanism so as to climb upwards from the horizontally arranged pipeline to the vertically arranged pipeline; specifically, referring to fig. 11, taking the example that the vertical pipe is located on the right side of the horizontal pipe: first, the clamping jaw 2 on the side far from the vertical pipe is kept to clamp the horizontal pipe, and the clamping jaw 2 on the side near the vertical pipe is released; then, the turbine 3c rotates anticlockwise under the action of the driving motor 3g driving the worm 3b to rotate, so that the first supporting shaft 3d drives the two driving connecting rods 3e to synchronously rotate anticlockwise, and then under the action of a connecting rod structure between the two driving connecting rods 3e and the two transmission connecting rods 3f, the second base 3h is driven to anticlockwise overturn by 90 degrees, and at the moment, the clamping paw 2 and the sensor bracket 1 close to one side of the vertical pipeline synchronously overturn anticlockwise by 90 degrees; the clamping claws 2 on the horizontal pipeline are driven to drive the adjacent sensor bracket 1 to walk towards the vertical pipeline for a certain distance until the pile turning clamping claws 2 and the sensor bracket 1 are positioned at the outer side of the vertical pipeline, and then the vertical pipeline can be clamped by the clamping claws 2 close to one side of the vertical pipeline; then, loosening the clamping claw 2 which clamps one side of the horizontal pipeline, and moving the clamping claw 2 positioned on the vertical pipeline upwards along the vertical pipeline until the clamping claw 2 positioned at the horizontal pipeline flows out of the overturning space; by using the turnover mechanism 3, the clamping claws 2 and the sensor support 1 which are originally used for clamping the horizontal pipeline synchronously turn over 90 degrees anticlockwise in the same turnover mode in the same mode, so that the purpose that the scanning device climbs up to the vertical pipeline from the horizontally arranged pipeline is achieved.
