- Abstract
This paper explores the development and applications of bio-inspired pipeline cleaning technology, focusing on innovations inspired by the rhinoceros beetle’s feeding mechanism. By integrating bionic design principles with advanced sensor systems and adaptive control mechanisms, this study proposes a novel cleaning device that enhances cleaning effectiveness, adaptability to fluid viscosity, and real-time monitoring capabilities. Pipeline cleaning in the chemical industry faces significant challenges, including inefficiency, potential damage to pipeline walls, and lack of real-time monitoring. This study introduces a bio-inspired pipeline cleaning technology inspired by the rhinoceros beetle’s feeding mechanism, which employs a “sweeping” motion to handle viscous fluids efficiently. The proposed device integrates a cylindrical brush wheel, a Tesla tube design for fluid diversion, and a sensor system for real-time viscosity and chemical composition detection. Experimental results demonstrate superior cleaning effectiveness, adaptability to varying fluid viscosity, and enhanced cost and time efficiency compared to traditional methods. This innovation holds promise for improving chemical production efficiency, safety, and environmental sustainability.
