摘要： An apparatus for electrically charging a rechargeable power source of a pipeline tool while the tool is located within a pipeline comprises a power module including a charging power source, an insertion module including an insertion mechanism having a charging plug for mating with a charging socket of the pipeline tool and a drive assembly operable to extend and retract the charging plug, and a power line electrically connecting the charging power source to the charging plug. The charging power source, power line, and charging plug may be enclosed by a pressure barrier and brought into pressure equalization with the pipeline, wherein the power line does not cross the barrier. The charging power source may include batteries or a generator. If a generator is employed and a pressure barrier must be maintained, a magnetic coupling may be used to transmit kinetic energy across the barrier for input to the generator.

摘要翻译： 一种用于对工具位于管线内的管道工具的可再充电电源进行充电的装置包括：电源模块，包括充电电源;插入模块，包括具有充电插头的插入机构，该充电插头用于与充电插座 管道工具和可操作以延伸和缩回充电插头的驱动组件以及将充电电源电连接到充电插头的电力线。 充电电源，电源线和充电插头可以被压力屏蔽封闭，并与管道进行压力均衡，其中电力线不穿过屏障。 充电电源可以包括电池或发电机。 如果使用发电机并且必须保持压力屏障，则可以使用磁耦合来将动能跨越势垒传递到发电机。
