    Abstract: A pipeline robot capable of steering actively comprises at least two driving knuckles and at least one steering knuckle. Every two adjacent driving knuckles are connected by the steering knuckle. A front end cover is fixed on the front end surface of the driving knuckle at the most front end. A sensor is mounted in the center of the front end cover. A rear end cover is fixed on the rear end surface of the driving knuckle at the rearmost end. A universal spherical hinge is arranged in the center of the rear end cover. Each driving knuckle comprises a main frame, driving mechanisms and telescopic mechanisms; the telescopic mechanisms are mounted in the main frame, and capable of causing contraction of the driving mechanisms into the main frame. The steering knuckle can drive the front driving knuckle connected thereto to steer.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a testing device and method for simulating longitudinal-transverse-torsional coupled nonlinear vibration of a drill string in deep-water riser-free drilling. The testing device comprises a pool (1), a motor (2) and a hook load adjustment device (3), wherein a guide wheel (4) is provided on the top of the pool (1); a support seat A (5) and a support seat B (6) are fixed on the bottom surface of the pool (1); an organic glass tube (8) is fixed between the support seat A (5) and the support seat B (6); a casing (9) is respectively provided on the top surface of the support seat B (6) and the top surface of the trailer (7); the left end of the plastic tube (10) extends into the organic glass tube (8) along the axis of the organic glass tube (8). The present invention further discloses a simulation method. The present invention has the following beneficial effects: the structure is compact; the longitudinal-transverse-torsion coupled vibration responses of the drill string under different rotating speeds of the drill string, ocean flow rates, flow rates of the drilling fluid, torsional excitations and longitudinal excitations at the bottom of the formation section is simulated, thereby filling up the blank in the riser-free drilling system.
