The rapid development of urbanization has brought convenience to people's lives and improved their quality of life, but the drainage networks in city infrastructure have been operating under high loads for a long time. During heavy rains, urban flooding can occur, creating difficulties for travel and daily life. In severe rainstorms, poor drainage in the underground network can lead to significant loss of life and property.
The scale of urban underground drainage networks is continually expanding, but many drainage pipes, due to their long installation history, have now reached or are nearing their service life. Some pipes even experience leaks or bursts due to aging before reaching their intended service life. The drainage network is susceptible to damage from long-term sewage erosion and other external factors, leading to sewage leaks, environmental pollution, socioeconomic losses, and severe hidden dangers.
Used for Operational Management Detection of Existing Drainage Pipes
Regular inspection of drainage pipes can help understand their functionality and structural condition, promptly identifying and addressing issues to ensure normal operation. This not only guarantees the normal functioning of the city but also prevents urban flooding caused by poor drainage.
Pipe Inspection Robots for Structural Safety Detection of Newly Built Networks
During the construction of drainage pipes, robots can detect in real time structural defects in the pipes, assisting contractors in their remediation. This not only improves the quality of drainage pipes but also prevents safety risks caused by construction quality issues.
Pipe Inspection Robots Applied to Ground Collapse Structural Safety Detection
By identifying significant structural defects within pipes, the robots can assess their impact on ground collapses, providing technical support and data for hazard mitigation. This ensures the safety and stability of the city, preventing property loss and casualties from ground collapses.
Pipe Inspection Robots Play an Important Role in Pipe Direction Detection and Patrol
Robots can confirm the internal direction of pipes and connection situations, clarifying the direction of drainage pipes. This provides essential references for urban planning and construction, avoiding construction errors and safety hazards due to unclear pipe directions.
With the continuous advancement of technology, pipe inspection robots are expected to have stronger detection capabilities and higher levels of intelligence in the future. By introducing AI and big data technologies, robots can deeply analyze and mine collected data, uncovering more potential safety hazards. Additionally, optimizing the structure and control systems of robots can further enhance their adaptability and stability, enabling operations in more complex pipe environments.
