Pressure Test

The main structure of bearing frame for pressure test device and it’s functions are described in this paper. For the pressure test device with float collar and float shoe, the screw transmits movement with standing pressuring load. According to the needs of actual production and the requirements of test sample pressuring, this paper designed a drive mechanism for screw rod, calculated the stress and checked the correlated stiffness. The result shows that it is reasonable, safe and reliable for screw-drive mechanism, depending on the operation behavior of float collar and float shoe pressure test device.

Novel Design

The in-pipe robots based on screw drive mechanism are very promising in the aspects of pipe inspecting and maintaining. The novel design of an in-pipe robot with differential screw angles is presented for the curved pipes and vertical straight pipes. The robot is mainly composed of the screw drive mechanism, adaptive linkage mechanism, and the elastic arm mechanism. The alternative adjusting abilities of the mobile velocity and traction, and the adaptive steering ability in curved pipes, are achieved by the special designs. A parameter design approach in consideration of the climbing and steering abilities is proposed in detail for the springs and length of the elastic arms. The results are applied to the prototype design of the robot. In several groups of experiments, the proposed robot is competent to pass through curved pipes and vertical straight pipes. The results prove that the proposed mechanism and parameter design approach are both valid.
