Abstract:
A vibrating tool (100) is described for cleaning a pipe. The tool (100) comprises a body (20) with first and second ends and an internal chamber (23). The first end comprises an air inlet (50) which is arranged to be connected to a pressurized air supply. The second end is arranged to be connected to an auxiliary tool. The vibrating tool (100) also comprises a piston (30) in the internal chamber (23) arranged to reciprocate in use within the chamber (23) to impart vibration to the tool (100). When pressurized air is supplied to the air inlet (50). The second end comprises an air outlet (160) which is arranged in use to supply air from the vibrating tool (100) to an auxiliary tool.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a remote controlled robot for cleaning inner walls of a duct, more specifically, to a remote controlled robot comprising: a cart movable in the duct by remote control; at least one first link pivotally connected to the cart, which is relatively rotatable to the cart; a first driving unit to drive the first link to relatively rotate to the cart; at least one second link pivotally connected to the first link, which is relatively rotatable to the first link; a second driving unit to drive the second link to relatively rotate to the first link; and a cleaning means installed at the second link for separating dusts from the inner walls of the duct, thereby enabling to clean the upper inner-walls and the bottom inner-wall of the duct simultaneously, and to continuously proceed with the cleaning in case of the height change of the duct to reduce cleaning time thereof.

Abstract:
A multi-module pipe inspection and repair device (10). The device (10) includes a base module (12), a camera module, a sensor module, an MFL module, a brush module, a patch set/test module (18), and a marker module. Each of the modules may be interconnected to construct one of an inspection device, a preparation device, a marking device, and a repair device.
Abstract:
A movable robot for axial movement through a pipe line comprising two or more intermovable units, each of said movable unit provided with three projecting legs (4, 5) having contact surfaces (4a, 5a). The contact surfaces (4a, 5a) may abut the inner surface of the pipe such that said movable unit is fixed relative to the pipe. One of the movable units can be fixed relative to the pipe, while the other can be rotatable and displaceable relative thereto. As a result, the movable robot may easily pass obstacles during its movement through the pipe.
Abstract:
A method is proposed for removing explosives deposits in effluent pipes or for dissolving explosive from ammunitions casings. The explosive is removed from the wall of the pipe or casing with the aid of a gaseous jet medium to which preferably dry ice is added as an abrasive. A robot (10) is used for operations in pipes. The robot carries an air lance (26) for delivering the jet medium and a television camera (34). The air lance (26) and camera can be rotated by remote control about the pipe axis and can pivot about a transverse axis (52).
Abstract:
Machine (100,200,201) comprising a housing (210), a brush (213) comprising a plurality of elongate, elastic elements, and an actuator (211) configured to: generate a vibrating motion in a the direction of a longitudinal axis (212) of the machine, or generate a cyclical, relative motion between a first part (21 Oa) of the housing (210) and a second part (21 Ob) of the housing. In an embodiment, a machine (100) for use in a pipe (90) comprises a housing (10), at least three drive units (20a-d) coupled to the housing (10) via a movable arm (21 a-d), an elastic element (30, 30a, b) arranged to urge the at least three drive units (20a-d) away from each other, a cleaning brush (40) connected to the housing (10) and operatively connected to an electric motor (50). There are also provided methods for cleaning a pipe (90).
Abstract:
A high pressure nozzle manipulator includes a wheeled chassis, a pair of parallel manipulator elevator rails supported by an elevator rail rotator fastened to the chassis, a horizontal extensible arm rail disposed between and carried by the manipulator elevator rails, a rotary actuator fastened to a distal end of the horizontal extensible arm rail, and a linear actuator fastened between the first rotary actuator and a hinged nozzle support bracket. This bracket holds a high pressure cleaning nozzle. The linear actuator is configured to rotate the nozzle and the bracket through an arc. The elevator rail rotator is configured to rotate the elevator rails through an arc of about 180 degrees about a horizontal axis. The rotary wrist actuator is configured to rotate the hinged nozzle support bracket about a horizontal axis through the extensible arm rail.
