What it does
Adaptive high-density brushes that adapt to different pipe diameters, high-pressure water nozzles that can powerfully flush the inner wall of the pipe, and intelligent monitoring systems that use sensors and infrared cameras
Your inspiration
The current existing pipeline cleaning robots have poor adaptability and are difficult to deal with when faced with complex pipeline environments. They also rely on manual operation, lack autonomous navigation and decision-making capabilities, and can only complete a single cleaning task. They also have shortcomings in extended functions such as detection.
How it works
First, the staff will move the robot from the vehicle and place it at the entrance of the pipe that needs to be cleaned, and then turn on the power of the robot. At this time, the robot will automatically scan the pipe size and adjust itself according to the scanning results. The staff will set the relevant parameters and cleaning mode on the controller. After the settings are completed, click Start, and the robot will automatically enter the pipe to carry out cleaning work. The camera sensor on the robot body will transmit the image in the pipe back to the controller in real time. If the concentration of toxic gas in the pipe exceeds the standard, the controller will vibrate immediately and issue a warning sound to remind the operator. When an accident occurs or an emergency occurs, the robot will automatically start the emergency stop program and the controller will display red to prompt, which is convenient for the staff to carry out the next operation.
Design process
This pipe cleaning robot is mainly used for pipes with a size between 450mm and 850mm in the industrial and municipal fields. It integrates brushes and high-pressure water nozzles and can be used for pipes of various diameters. The retractable brushes and Mecanum wheels enable it to clean pipes of different sizes. Its design is efficient, intelligent and modular, which can meet the needs of urban and industrial pipe cleaning. Its main functions include adaptive high-density brushes that can adapt to different pipe diameters, high-pressure water nozzles that can powerfully flush the inner wall of the pipe, and an intelligent monitoring system that uses sensors and infrared cameras to achieve accurate distance measurement and three-dimensional environmental perception [19]. The modular design facilitates maintenance and component replacement, and can collect internal pipe data in real time to provide support for subsequent analysis and maintenance. With the help of a multifunctional cleaning system and intelligent monitoring technology, the robot achieves efficient, safe and accurate pipe cleaning, improving the efficiency and reliability of pipe maintenance.

Future plans
Future research will focus on liquid metal-driven self-reconfiguration modules, multi-machine collaboration algorithms based on reinforcement learning, and the application of nano-coating materials, so as to promote the continuous development of pipeline cleaning robots in the direction of "fully autonomous operation, full-scenario adaptation, and full life cycle intelligence", and provide more efficient solutions for urban infrastructure operation and maintenance and industrial intelligent manufacturing.
