    Abstract: The invention relates to a serpentine inspection robot mechanism for lifting cage guide driven by magnetic wheels, comprising a magnetic wheel drive part and a pitching yawing part, wherein the magnetic wheel drive part comprises a worm and gear transmission mechanism (I) and a magnetic wheel driving mechanism (II), and the pitching yawing part comprises a pitching yawing mechanism (III). Magnetic wheels are driven by the worm and gear transmission mechanism (I) and the magnetic wheel driving mechanism (II), while the pitching and yawing control of the robot are realized by the pitching yawing mechanism (III). The serpentine robot driven by the magnetic wheels (22) resolves the problems that the efficiency of ordinary serpentine robot is low, and it is difficult for the simple-wheel-type robot to span the large gap and to reach some concealed corners, with the cage guide of the lifting machine sucked by the magnetic wheels (22).

    Abstract: Disclosed are a wellbore inspection system and method for an ultra-deep vertical shaft. The wellbore inspection system includes a wire rope moving system, inspection robots, a visual image acquisition system, a wireless communication module, a central control system, and an image post-processing system of an upper computer. The wire rope moving system includes a surface wire rope guide rail, an underground wire rope guide rail, a surface wire rope moving device, an underground wire rope moving device, and a wire rope. The visual image acquisition system includes explosion-proof cameras. After image information acquired by the explosion-proof cameras is processed by a lower computer, the processed image is transmitted by a wireless image transmission module to the image post-processing system of the upper computer. The central control system is connected to the inspection robots and the wire rope moving system, and the inspection robots are connected to the central control system.

    Abstract: Disclosed in the present invention are a rope climbing robot capable of surmounting an obstacle and an obstacle surmounting method thereof. The rope climbing robot includes a robot body. The robot body includes a shell, a drive module and a guide module. The shell is longitudinally cut into an even number of shell segments, and is laterally cut into a corresponding drive housing segment and a corresponding guide housing segment according to mounting positions of the drive module and the guide module in the shell. There is at least one guide module and at least one guide housing segment, and a shell opening mechanism is further mounted in the shell. The shell opening mechanism includes a first shell opening mechanism configured to open/close the guide housing segment and a second shell opening mechanism configured to open/close the drive housing segment.
