On January 8, 2020, the Power Energy Center conducted an on-site sewage inspection of the resident units in the site. This sewage inspection is different from the usual manual inspection. This time, the “CCTV Pipe Inspection Crawler Camera Robot” is used to walk independently inside the pipeline for real-time image monitoring and inspection to check the internal situation of the pipeline from the end to the drain.

The underground pipeline network of Kunming Airport is intricate, covering water supply, reclaimed water, sewage and rainwater pipeline networks. The total length of various types of pipeline networks is 138.2 kilometers. Pipe network failures occur from time to time. The Pipe Inspection Crawler Camera Robot enters the pipeline inspection independently, and can carry out real-time image monitoring, recording, video playback, image capture and storage of video files for the internal conditions of the pipeline, and issue inspection reports on the spot. Realize the internal status of the pipeline without personnel entering the pipeline. Efficient and fast downhole operations greatly shorten the time to eliminate the faults in the pipeline, which can effectively avoid the occurrence of unsafe events caused by personnel pipeline inspection. It also saves labor costs for pipeline inspection and maintenance, eliminates the danger of manual downhole, and improves the efficiency of issuing inspection reports.

"CCTV Pipe Inspection Crawler Camera Robot" is mainly used to detect internal conditions, instead of manually going down the well, to solve the difficulty of people unable to go down to work because of the narrow, lack of oxygen and no ventilation in the pipeline. The robot is composed of three parts: a crawler, a cable reel and a control system. The crawler is composed of four wheels, two high-definition digital cameras at the front and rear, and two searchlights. It looks like a remote control car and can walk independently inside the pipeline. But the function is more powerful than the remote control car. Both the front and rear cameras use a million-level high-definition digital camera, which can truly reflect the real-time situation in the detected pipeline. The camera also has a certain infrared night vision effect, which can adapt to the lack of light in the pipeline. The cable reel is equipped with a network port and WiFi antenna. Realize the wired link between the cable reel and the software control system; can also be used for wireless data transmission. The software control is realized by a laptop computer, which can control the crawler maintenance and real-time view of the internal conditions of the pipeline on the laptop computer, can realize the detection, monitoring and storage functions, and has the function of automatic reconnection after the network is disconnected, which can effectively avoid the use process Data loss due to unstable network.
