Development of Cleaning Device for In-pipe Robot Application☆

摘要: Pipelines are essential tools for transporting water, oils, gases and sewer from one place to another. used interconnect networks station another that involved various diameter sizes fittings compensate intended directions. There many issues influenced performance of the pipelines namely aging, corrosion, cracks use clog up with debris, or sediments after long use. number methods available clean inside closed pipeline traditional method like boiling, picking, alcohol salt cleaning kits, kits such as wire plunger large-gauge snake. However, all can over-stress older cause leaks make even more extensive repair procedures needed fix problem. Chemical fluid pipe is also not suitable types because chemical erode wall. Currently, service robot best solution purposely developed facilitate humans being activities including cleaning, inspection repairing damage in pipeline. This paper intends report about development device in-pipe application. The covers both software hardware device. Significant experiment has been designed validate function It proof successfully soft moderate clog. success be attached outcome expected assist operations. Thus, enable transport efficiently minimum cost operation.
