Yangtze River Daily, Wuhan Client, September 5 (trainee reporter Lei Xinrui, reporter Xiong Shiqi, correspondent Wen Tao) Round "eyes", small body, September 2nd, an image resembling the movie "Robot Story" The "Wali" "sweet" robot in here is undergoing testing. It steps on 4 wheels and drags a long tail (cable) behind it to survey and photograph the inside of the pipeline.

This is the X5-HS pipeline robot developed by China Instrument IOT. It has not only wheeled, but also crawler, spiral, etc., which can adapt to various terrains, as well as water and diving robots. . On its head, there are 360-degree rotating panoramic cameras, as well as lidar, electromagnetic wave radar, etc., which can generate three-dimensional models to quantify and mark pipeline deformations and defects.

This company, established in 2010, has been focusing on drainage pipeline inspection, repair equipment research and development, production, big data analysis, operation and other entire industry chain areas. In the past 10 years, the company has grown rapidly in Optics Valley, and its revenue has increased from 500,000 yuan to 180 million yuan. It has become a leader in the life cycle operation and maintenance of domestic drainage pipe networks. "Little Giant" enterprise.

"The X5-HS pipeline robot is our fourth-generation product. We have made certain innovations on the basis of the previous The collection and output expression is upgraded for digital expression, and it is equipped with a laser pipeline scanner, which can simultaneously scan the pipeline section contour during the CCTV inspection process, and generate a three-dimensional model to accurately measure the dimensions of pipeline deformation, deposition, branch pipes, obstacles, etc. Quantify. In order to allow the operator to clearly see the internal situation of the pipeline through the screen and video,X5-HS can be equipped with a panoramic lens at the same time to perform a panoramic scan of the pipeline. These images can be transmitted to the ground with a resolution of 4 million pixels. "In the past, only fuzzy pictures could be seen through robots, and the size of the cracks needed to be artificially judged, but often a difference of 5% can lead to a level difference of the defect level. This kind of analysis has the problem of instability." Now, the digital transmission method, This not only greatly improves the picture clarity, but also allows tablets and smart phones to replace the original master controller that receives signals, making it more convenient to store and forward survey videos.

At the same time, the small body design allows the X5-HS pipeline robot to enter the underground pipeline through the existing manhole cover passage on the road, and it can complete the pipeline survey in one night. The super high efficiency makes the city traffic undisturbed.

Not only that, the X120-D2 controllable point repair system of Zhongyi IOT Company's repairing pipeline method is "brain open"-the robot carries a kind of plastic material called "glass fiber resin hose" Entering the damaged area, this material is like a balloon. After being inflated by high pressure, it is closely attached to the wall of the sewer pipe. It is "baked" with a purple light to make it hard. The whole process is like making a manicure. Coated with special materials, and then baked the materials hard by light.

At present, the products of China Instrument IOT have been exported to more than 20 developed countries such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, and South Korea. Exports are increasing every year. This company has 60 million square meters of factory buildings in Wuhan University Science and Technology Park, with revenue of 180 million yuan last year and nearly 400 employees. "In recent years, the government has gradually paid attention to the governance of underground pipelines, and has given us a lot of support for technology companies. I believe our industry will get better and better." Zhang Wanjia said.
