PURPOSE:To form the articulation of an in-pipe moving robot flexible 90 deg. or more so as to insert the in-pipe moving robot from an L-shaped insertion hole by dividing the robot, which moves in the interior of a pipe, into a plurality of units classified by a function and connecting each unit with universal joints and an intermediate rod. CONSTITUTION:Two units 1, 2 in an intermediate rod are bent at a right angle. In this way, because the two units 1, 2, even when they are flexed at a right angle, are prevented from interfering with each other, a robot can be easily inserted into a pipe 9 from an L-shaped insertion hole 11. While through holes in an intermediate rod 7 and universal joints 8 are formed in size such that a cable or the like is possible to easily penetrate through the interior of the through holes. Thus, possibility of breaking the cable or the like is eliminated. |
