Abstract

The configuration design of in-pipe robot adapting mechanism has a significant impact on its motion performance. By analyzing the operation principle and structure composition of adapting mechanism, the four-bar linkage is chosen as basic unit to make topological combination, the two kinds of linkage combination including input of prismatic pair are presented, the configuration schemes that meet the given design constraints are also synthesized, and the application examples of specific mechanisms are given. Which provides a new method for configuration extended design of in-pipe robot adapting mechanism.
