摘要： A pipe pig is provided with linked wheels, and at least a central wheel of the linked wheels is pivotally linked to adjacent wheels through a spring loaded connection that biases the central wheel out of straight line alignment with the adjacent wheels. The pipe pig may be used to negotiate tight bends in a pipe and carry sensing electronics.

摘要： A pipeline inspection device including a cable having a camera disposed on a distal end of the cable, where the camera and the cable are configured to be directed into a conduit. A first drum includes a rear wall, a front wall, and a side wall defining an interior, where the front wall has an opening providing access to the interior, and where the cable is disposed at least partially within the first drum. A stand supports the first drum, where the first drum is rotatably coupled to the stand. A hub houses electrical components of the pipeline inspection device. The hub is removably received in the interior of the first drum via the opening, where the hub is selectively removable from the first drum and insertable into an interior of a second drum.

摘要： A modular robotic assembly including a first and second pod assembly. The first pod assembly including a first frame assembly extending a first length along a first longitudinal axis, a displacement assembly housed at least partially within the first frame assembly, and a shaft rotatably supported by the displacement assembly at a first end region of the shaft. The shaft extending out of the first frame assembly and coupled with a tooling attachment at a second end region of the shaft. The second pod assembly operably coupled with the first pod assembly such that the first and second pod assemblies operate as a functional unit to perform a task within a conduit. The second pod assembly including a second frame assembly extending a second length along a second longitudinal axis, and a drive mechanism configured to provide movement for the functional unit.

摘要： A sewer preparation from the main (PFM) device provides for the inspection and preparation of the sewer pipe from the main sewer pipe. The PFM device provides for the insertion of one or more individual and separately controllable tools into the sewer pipe. The tools include a clean out tool and a camera. Each of the tools is controlled separately such that each tool can be inserted and retracted from the lateral as desired. A method includes the steps of inserting and operating separately controllable tools from a single preparation device that provides access to the lateral without a cleanout or other alternate access passage.

摘要： Pipe inspection systems including a push-cable, jetter, and camera assembly are disclosed. A jetter nozzle may be configured to spin and/or propel the camera head within a pipe or other cavity. A cutter line may be attached to the camera head to clean obstructions. A sonde may be coupled to a camera head to generate magnetic field signals for use with a buried utility locator to locate a pipe or other cavity into which the camera head is deployed.

摘要： A process is disclosed for inspecting subsidiary canals that branch off from a main drain. A camera probe (24) is deflected from the main drain pipe (10) into the branching off subsidiary, canal pipe (12) by means of a deflecting frame (22; 76; 96). The process is characterized by a propulsion by reaction of the camera probe (24), a fluid under pressure being supplied to reaction jets (34; 90) mounted on the camera probe so as to drive the latter into the subsidiary canal pipe (12).
