Selbstangetriebenes Gelenkfahrzeug mit teleskopischen Andruckzylindern zur Rohrinspektion

摘要

This vehicle is composed of a mechanism for the simultaneous rotation of pistons 10 arranged in telescopic stars capable of adapting to the differing shapes of the cavities through which it travels. At the extremities of these pistons, wheels or tracks 54, activated by independent motors, are used to propel and move the vehicle. A joint 9 allows the vehicle to bend so as to enable it to change direction in tight spaces. A cable drum 6 allows a cable 4 to be paid out as the vehicle advances to a great distance, and this cable transmits power and the data from a mobile video camera 15. …Of particular application to the inspection of urban and industrial grids over long distances. ……
