A New Design of Pipe Robot with Mechanical Properties in Mechanical Engineering

A new squirming robot is designed to clean up crystal substance in chemical pipelines. The robot uses a ball screw and a motor as its driven unit, Its mechanical properties is efficiently in the pipeline. One of its advantages is its strong driven force, which is proved by theoretical analysis. The robot can clean the pipeline by some tools at the front. Through theoretical analysis, the mechanical structure can solve the pipeline environmental effects on mechanical properties
