    摘要:

    为实现农业灌溉主管道探查作业,设计了一种单驱动、低流阻、快速移动柔性管道机器人。该机器人由单个变腔室线性伸长型致动器驱动,外侧套装 6 对轴对称分列排布三角形柔性足,通过单一气路通断实现快速蠕动。研究了单驱动管道机器人蠕行机理,进行了柔性足与躯体致动器结构优化、变形建模与性能测试。建立了机器人前行过程中力和步距模型,并进行了管道内静力学试验。基于规划步态建立了机器人速度模型,利用 3D 运动捕捉系统测试了机器人运动特性,获得了气压与通气频率对速度的影响规律。搭建了农业灌溉主管道模拟管系,分别进行了机器人负载特性、不同管径和多种管道环境爬行测试,并利用机器人前端的视觉传感单元进行了管道内部环境探查作业。结果表明,规划步态下机器人实现快速移动的同时,具有较好的承载能力、适应性及稳定性,动态探查作业过程中行进平稳且捕捉影像清晰。最大移动速度为 40mm/s, 承载能力为 1kg, 可实现复杂农业灌溉管道环境的探查作业。

    Abstract:

    A soft pipeline robot specifically designed for agricultural irrigation inspection was described. The robot was capable of fast and low-resistance locomotion, achieved through a single-drive mechanism. The robot's peristaltic motion was produced by a linear extension actuator and six pairs of flexible feet, controlled through a single air channel. This integrated approach reduced control complexity and increases mobility. An investigation of the peristaltic mechanism in a single-actuated pipe robot was conducted, along with structural optimization, deformation modeling, and performance testing of the flexible foot and body actuators. A mechanical model was established in order to characterize the driving force and step displacement during the robot's propulsion phase, with its predictions subsequently verified by static experiments conducted inside a pipeline. Gait-based velocity modeling was conducted to examine the robot's motion characteristics. A 3D motion capture system was employed for precise motion tracking, thereby revealing the influence of air pressure and ventilation frequencey on overall locomotion performance. Experiments were performed in a simulated agricultural irrigation pipeline system to evaluate load capacity, adaptability to different pipe diameters, and mobility under varied pipeline conditions. Additionally, a front-mounted visual sensing unit was integrated to enable internal pipeline inspection. The robot achieved a maximum speed of 40 mm/s and carried a payload of 1 kg, enabling rapid exploration within complex agricultural irrigation pipeline systems.
