LINK STRUCTURE FOR SENSOR SYSTEM SUPPORT

摘要

PURPOSE: A link structure for holding a sensor system for pipe nondestructive inspection is provided to easily prevent the degradation of the performance of a robot which passes through a pipe. CONSTITUTION: A link structure for holding a sensor system for pipe nondestructive inspection comprises a sensor system (20), a pipe inspection robot (10), two links (100,200), and an elastomer (300). The sensor system inspects a pipeline based on magnetic leakage. The pipe inspection robot, in which the sensor system is mounted, performs an inspection while the robot freely travels the pipeline. Each one end of the two links is hinge-connected respectively to the sensor system and the pipe inspection robot, and each of the other ends of the two links is slot-connected so that central points are intersected into an X shape. Restraining units are formed on the upper and lower parts of the two links around the central points. The front and rear ends of the elastomer are installed respectively in the two links so that the elastomer horizontally connects the two links.
