Put forward and develop a pipeline cleaning robot. Relying on finite element analysis software ANSYS, establishing finite element model of pipeline robot swinging rod with the solid92 as the basic unit, it was found that the swing rod of the pipeline robot was the weak link by a large number of on-site experiments. After analysis the fatigue properties of pipeline robot's swing rod, compared with the results of its static analysis and evaluation of failure mode of pipe robot's swing rod, reasonable proposals are put forward for the follow-up study of the pipeline robot.

This article presents a non-linear control system for a robotic arm that will be used for pipeline reparation. It starts with the mechanical description of the arm, its parameters and how the arm will repair the pipelines. This arm needs a control law that is non-linear. The proposed control strategy is obtained through the interpolation of classic feedback quadratic controllers that are computed for each operation point in a trajectory. This design is based on a numerical model that avoids computing an analytical model which is very useful for this kind of application. The technique is validated through simulations.

Presently most of the air-conditioning pipeline cleaning robots in the market do not have the self-adaptive capacity to variable diameter pipelines, and clean the circular pipeline incompletely, have the whipping problems in the working process. For this case, this paper developed a new type of pipe robot;the robot adopts the umbrella-like open-and-close mechanism, scissors lifting mechanism and tail location and navigation device. It can align the center of the circular pipes with different diameters automatically, and sweep 3600 one-time, improve the efficiency and stability of the robot greatly.

The new type of pipeline-cleaning robot discussed in this paper is developed to clean pipelines within the diameter range 200mm-250mm, which is propelled by using screw locomotion. With the help of CATIA, the modeling & simulation software, the simulation model of the robot and its vibration analysis has been obtained. From the analysis, dynamic characteristics of pipeline robot vary with the output parameters of control module and the structures of robot joints. Stimulated vibration has very little influences on the whole machine. The stability and reliability of the robot have been proven. According to the experimental study of principle prototype and dynamic simulation study of the virtual prototype, dynamic characteristics can be improved by optimizing the structures of robot and the related output parameters of control module, which contributes to the improvement of its motion stability. Therefore, it is believed that the robot has great value in practical use.

When two slender pipes were girthed weld, some of un-solidified solder liquid would ooze from the weld gap. Then the weld beading would be formed in the pipeline after solidification. It is difficult to be cleared away because of the higher hardness. Up to now, there was no effective method to solve this problem. So how to guarantee the pipeline quality was a big question, and it would influence the benefit of companies seriously. This paper presents a new cleaner to solve this problem. The cleaner was driven by direct current motor, and the cutting tool mechanism was driven by pneumatic motor which can carry different kinds of cutting tools. For the question of passing through the bend, the cleaner was designed to specified size after accurate analyzing. And another significant part was monitor, which was mainly composed of camera and video. In the end, we designed a model cleaner and manufactured it. The cleaner had been tested on spot and achieved the desired effect.

Two different robotic systems for in-pipe inspection of underground oil pipelines are overviewed. This paper mostly introduces the tracing and localization technology of in-pipe robot without tether cable. The key technique is how to achieve reliable communication between inside and outside of metallic pipeline. in order to solve the shielding effect of metallic pipe-wall. extreme-low-frequency electromagnetic pulse (ELF-EP) is adopted to transmit messages. According to the multiple-satellite measuring principle, pipeline global position system (P-GPS) is proposed serving as long-distance tracing and near-field localization. The design method of compacted communication system with low power consumption is introduced and the communication protocol is made. An effective localization algorithm based on database query is presented. The tracing and localization system is verified with robust solutions during field tests and can be applied to various in-pipe robots for autonomous motion and inspection. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd.

This paper presents the study of a pipeline robot based on a bristle mechanism. The bristle mechanism shows great flexibility and makes the pipeline robot to be able to work in ill-constraint pipes, which were previously considered as unpiggable or uninspectable. The working principle of pipeline robot is illustrated and the bristle mechanism is given in-depth analysis. Bristle traction force model is set up and the approximate calculation of bristle traction force based on Euler buckling theory is also described. The approximate calculation is conducted and simulated by using one single bristle. A laboratory experiment of bristle traction force is carried out and then the experimental result is compared with the calculation result. The experimental result shows the validity of bristle traction force model. Field trials of brush pipeline robots are also conducted in ill-constraint pipes and trial results show the flexibility and adaptability of the bristle mechanism. Future work and key issues in the research of brush pipeline robots are discussed at the end of the paper.

This paper developed a fuzzy logic controller with a neural network control system for sensor based pipeline robot navigation in pipe environment. The fuzzy controller creates initial membership functions and fuzzy logic rules. the neural network, which automatically process range information for determining a good steering angle in local regions. This NN-fuzzy system is used to control the mobile pipeline robot, which is equipped with an array of ultrasonic sensors to acquire the distance between the pipeline robot and obstacle. On the basis of this system, a strategy for combining local behavior control with global behavior control planning was proposed in this paper. Finally a pipeline robot runs in simulation environment. The experimental results show that appropriate control mechanisms of the fuzzy controller are obtained by evolution. The controller has evolved well enough to smoothly drive the pipeline robot in different pipe environment.
