Design of pipe robot driven by fluid for collecting energy unit on-line

The paper has built the unit of collecting energy of pipe robot,which is centered on friction gear and motor so as to deliver rotating speed and torque of friction gear to motor by the synthetic mechanism of transmission and motion and turn fluid energy by collecting mechanical energy into electrical energy needed by controlling system. In the running test for simulating work situation, it shows that the robot can obtain electrical energy in real-time during running. It is possible to make pipe robot work at the long distance.
