A pipeline robot suitable for a liquid environment comprises a shell, a battery pack, a control device, a remote controller, propellers, a supporting device, a visual sensor, small mechanical arms, a direct current motor and a display. The pipeline robot suitable for the liquid environment has the following beneficial effects that the pipeline robot can work in a horizontal straight pipeline or a small-bending-degree pipeline which are full of liquid; a worker outside the pipeline can utilize the remote controller to control the robot to travel in the pipeline in a reciprocating mode; images in the pipeline are sent back through the visual sensor in real time to inspect the state of the inner wall of the pipeline; and simple cleaning work can be completed through the small mechanical arms. In addition, the pipeline robot has the characteristics of being simple, practical, light and ingenious in structure, long in working time and the like. The working difficulty of pipeline maintenance personnel can be greatl
