摘要

An inspection system and method with a variable-diameter traveling robot for inspection of a natural gas pipeline. The inspection system includes a pipeline inspection robot, a cable reel, a hydraulic pump and an information acquisition control terminal. The pipeline inspection robot includes an electronic cabin and a traveling mechanism. The electronic cabin includes a first digital camera, a second digital camera, a first digital camera mounting plate, a second digital camera mounting plate, a drum, a printed circuit board, a magnetic flux leakage probe, and a backup battery. The traveling mechanism includes a first traveling part, a second traveling part, an inner ratchet, an inner ratchet base, a slider, a long shaft, a hydraulic cylinder, and a hydraulic pipe. The cable reel includes a power line, a conversion module, and a communication line. The information acquisition control terminal is a mobile terminal having an analysis module and a control module.
