More Information
Summary:The utility model provides a novel technology of a device for moving a robot in a thin pipeline. A speed reducing motor and a helical wheel are used for driving a traction mechanism, a tension wheel attitude holding mechanism, an elastic connection element, etc., and thus the unique device for moving the robot in the thin pipeline is formed. The device for moving the robot in the thin pipeline can obtain high moving speed under large relative load, and the motion is continuous. Moreover, the utility model can be suitable for the progressive change of a pipe diameter and a bend pipe with a certain curvature. When a CCD camera, a vortex flow sensing device or other working devices are arranged, the utility model can form a robot system for moving detection or operation in the thin pipeline. The utility model is used for the operation of the automated inspection for sediment incrustation, corrosion or cracks in thin industrial pipelines, etc.
