Abstract

This paper presents a novel adaptive pipeline probe detection and correction mechanism designed to address the challenge of detection interference caused by the movement of wall-climbing robots, particularly in complex environments such as water-cooled walls. The mechanism ensures that the detection probe can accurately detect individual pipelines even when the robot deviates from its intended path. To achieve this, the system incorporates a self-adaptive deviation correction mechanism that maintains consistent detection performance without requiring adjustments to the robot's spatial position. The design includes a variable stiffness analysis of the buffer spring within the correction mechanism, which is optimized to minimize the impact of the robot's movement on the detection components. By carefully selecting the spring's size and stiffness parameters, the mechanism reduces vibration and enhances the stability and reliability of pipeline detection under offset conditions. In addition to maintaining detection accuracy, the system also supports automatic marking of pipelines that exhibit quality issues, ensuring that any detected defects are easily traceable. This adaptive mechanism not only improves detection efficiency but also enhances the overall operational stability of wall-climbing robots in industrial inspection tasks. The results demonstrate the mechanism's effectiveness in mitigating the challenges posed by uneven friction and time delays in the control system, making it a significant contribution to the field of robotic inspection systems.
