As shown in fig. 4, the detection device 11 includes a detection base, and a position sensor 17 and a gap detection sensor 18 provided on the detection base.
As shown in fig. 5 and 6, the hydraulic torsional contraction artificial muscle 9 comprises a braided sleeve 93, a fiber winding 95 and an elastic body 96; wherein the elastomer 96 is a hollow structure; both ends of the elastic body 96 are connected with a plug 91 and a connector 91 through a clamp 92, and the connector 91 is used for connecting with an external liquid supply pipe; the fiber winding 95 is a spiral structure and is disposed on the outer surface of the elastic body 96; when the elastic body 96 is filled with driving liquid, the fiber winding 95 guides the elastic body 96 to twist; the braided sleeve 93 is provided outside the fiber windings 95 and the elastic body 96, and is used for restricting the elastic body 96 from axially extending and guiding the elastic body 96 to axially contract and radially expand.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the elastic body 96 is a latex tube.
As shown in fig. 7, the fiber winding 95 is formed by spirally winding a plurality of fiber ropes on the elastic body 96, and the fiber winding 95 and the elastic body 96 are fixedly connected to each other by bonding to form an integral structure.
Further, a plurality of fiber ropes are parallel to each other and are spaced at equal intervals.
In the embodiment of the utility model, the fiber rope is the commercial product, adopts the Kevlar (Kevlar) fibre of the development of United states DuPont (DuPont) company.
In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 8, the material stiffness of the braided sleeve 93 greatly limits the movement of the artificial muscle in the axial direction, but the radial direction is not limited. The braided fibers of braided sleeve 93 are crossed in the radial direction with a certain crossing angle. As shown in fig. 9, in the non-operating state, the crossing angle between the braided fibers of the braided sleeve 93 is 60 degrees; as shown in fig. 10, when the braided sleeve 93 undergoes radial expansion and axial contraction with the elastic body 96, the crossing angle between the braided wires becomes 45 degrees.
In the embodiment of the present invention, the braiding sleeve 93 is braided by Kevlar fiber rope or nylon rope.
The utility model discloses well hydraulic twist reverse artificial muscle 9's of contraction deformation principle: the artificial muscle is a combined transformation principle of Mckiben artificial muscle and torsional elongation artificial muscle due to torsional contraction. Therefore, the principle of deformation of a torsionally contracted artificial muscle can be understood as follows: under the action of internal pressure, the fiber windings 95 can guide the elastic body 96 to perform torsional movement and have a tendency to expand due to the binding relationship between the 8-12 fiber windings 95 wound in parallel on the inner layer and the elastic body 96 (there is no relative displacement between the fiber windings and the elastic body). However, the material of the braided sleeve 93 restricts the elongation movement of the artificial muscle in the axial direction due to its large rigidity, fixed length, etc., and thus, like a fixed length string having no elasticity, cannot be elongated but is freely movable in the opposite direction. Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 9, since the braided sleeve 93 is a braided structure that is braided by braiding fibers to cross in the radial direction and has a certain crossing angle, the radial direction is not restricted, and the braided sleeve 93 can guide the shrinkage deformation of the elastic body. Therefore, when the elastic body 96 is in contact with the outer braided sleeve 93, a phenomenon of radial expansion and axial contraction is exhibited, which is similar to the deformation of the Mckibben muscle, thereby achieving a torsional contraction phenomenon of the artificial muscle.
In the embodiment of the utility model, the hydraulic torsional contraction artificial muscle 9 is prepared by the following specific processes:
the support rod 97 is put into the interior of the elastic body 96 while being engaged with the retainer, as shown in fig. 7. Positioning points are marked on the surface of the elastic body 96, various methods are used for marking the positioning points, and in order to accelerate the process of preparing artificial muscles, standard spiral marking is realized by a spraying method after the assembly body is obtained; after obtaining the standard helical mark, a plurality of Kevlar fibers are wound in parallel along the location indicator helix on the elastomer 96, each Kevlar fiber being equidistant in circumferential direction. After the Kevlar fibers are wrapped, the support rods 97 are removed and flexible glue is used to bond the Kevlar fibers to the elastomer 96 in a binding relationship. According to the principle of deformation of the torsionally elongated artificial muscle, in this case, without the peripheral braided sleeve 93, the artificial muscle exhibits a phenomenon of torsional elongation when pressure is applied, and may be accompanied by a phenomenon of local blistering. Therefore, by further adding the outer woven tube 93 to encapsulate the artificial muscle after obtaining the artificial muscle that is twisted and elongated, not only the twisting characteristic can be realized, but also the direction of the artificial muscle movement can be changed from the elongation movement to the contraction movement. Finally, the two ends of the elastic body 96 are sealed by the joints 91 and the plugs 94, and the braided sleeve 93 is bound with the elastic body 96 through the clips 92 to realize encapsulation.
In this implementation, the theory of operation of modularization pipeline robot based on artificial muscle that surges is:
as shown in fig. 11-12, in the initial state (1), the liquid-filled expansion is performed at the third node C and the fifth node E by the expansion device 4, so that the modular pipeline robot is fixed at the fixing plane M; the hydraulic torsional contraction artificial muscle 9 is pumped to contract and expand the hydraulic torsional contraction artificial muscle 9, and the robot enters the state (2); entering a state (3) without deformation of the modular pipeline robot, wherein the expansion devices 4 of the first node A and the fourth node D work, and the expansion devices 4 at the third node C and the fifth node E stop working; and finally, entering a state (4), releasing the pressure in each artificial muscle, entering liquid drainage work, returning the modular pipeline robot to the original state, and then performing the action of the state (1). In the process from the state (1) to the state (4), the modular pipeline robot performs a forward movement. In the whole movement process, the cleaning module performs spiral cleaning on the inside of the pipeline in the twisting process except for the state (3) without twisting movement.
As shown in fig. 13, in another embodiment of the present invention, to the implementation under the complex pipeline, on the basis of the combination to the straight tube condition, the front end is installed the hydraulic bending artificial muscle 19, and the turning problem of the modular pipeline robot is controlled through the hydraulic bending artificial muscle 19, and only when the turning condition is met, the hydraulic bending artificial muscle 19 works, otherwise, the hydraulic bending artificial muscle does not work.
The utility model discloses by the three kinds of artificial muscle combinations of the artifical muscle of the torsional contraction of the Mckiben that surges, the twist and contract artificial muscle that surges and the twist and extend artificial muscle that surges form, can realize under these artificial muscle's that surges the wriggling of pipeline robot crawl, the function such as turning to and rotatory cleanness of complicated pipeline. Meanwhile, the modular design is adopted, so that support modules with different diameters can be adopted when different pipe diameters are met, and the support modules and the cleaning modules with different sizes are arranged at the joints of artificial muscles of all parts so as to adapt to the cleaning and detection of different pipe diameters. The embodiment of the utility model provides an in, the Mckiben artificial muscle that surges and the crooked artificial muscle that surges are prior art, do not give unnecessary details here.
The above description is only for the embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
