Title:
APPARATUS MOVING THROUGH INTERIOR OF PIPE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/182725
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
 The purpose of the present invention is to reduce the frictional force during operation of operating cables, so that two operating cables can be operated reliably with a minimum of operating force, and so that the individually adjustable tension of each can be held constant. The apparatus is provided with: three wheels (2A-2C) driven to rotate by a motor and longitudinally arranged in the rotation direction; two joint parts (3A, 3B) interlinking the three wheels swivelably in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction; two operating cables (5X, 5Y) affixed at one end to the wheel (2A) situated at the lead position in the direction of travel, passing to either side of the remaining wheels (2B, 2C) and the joint parts, and extending rearward from the wheel situated at the tail position; and a tension adjustment part (6) which faces towards the wheel situated at the tail position, and to which the other ends of the two operating cables are linked such that the tension of the two operating cables is adjustable. The wheel (2B) at the second position behind the lead position in the travel direction is provided with a cable guide member (9) for guiding the two operating cables (5X, 5Y) and shifting the positions thereof between left and right.
