Design of Operation Platform for Small Diameter Heat Pipe Network
Through research and visits to enterprises,it was found that due to harsh working conditions,especially for some small-diameter pipelines,internal damage,cracks,and corrosion defects in the thermal pipeline network are difficult to detect,leading to malignant acci-dents such as leaks,pollution,and poisoning,seriously endangering people's lives and property safety.In order to solve the problem of exist-ing detection equipment being difficult to access small aperture thermal pipe networks,this paper designs a new type of peristaltic pipe network operation platform.This platform can carry industrial cameras,non-destructive testing instruments,and repair tools into the interior of pipelines for the inspection and maintenance of thermal pipelines.This article adopts a four leaf clover shaped structure airbag,which can adjust the airbag pressure in real time according to the diameter of the thermal pipeline network and the pressure of the medium inside the pipeline network to adapt to different pipe diameters;The airbag and electric push rod use a bidirectional double hinge form,which can adapt to the pipeline path and automatically adjust the driving path;The airbag leaves a certain gap with the pipe wall when inflated,ensuring that the flexible mobile device can be inspected or maintained in the pipe network without interruption.The maximum reduction of the inconvenience caused by the maintenance of the thermal pipeline network to people's production and life has high application value in the industrial field.
