PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device moving within a pipe which can smoothly transfer for a long distance in a thin pipe.SOLUTION: This device 10 moving within a pipe comprises three telescopic parts 21, 22, 23 which are made from the first artificial muscle 20 and have respective air chambers R and two air tubes 41, 42 that are drawn from a base end part 29 of the device 10 and pass through the insides of the telescopic parts 22, 23 and air can be supplied through air tubes to the three air chambers R. When air is supplied through an air tube to an air chamber R of each telescopic part 21, 22, 23, the telescopic part with the air chamber is constituted to increase its inner diameter radially and to press the inner wall of the pipe and, also, at least one of three telescopic parts 21, 22, 23, in the condition that other telescopic parts except the at least one decrease their diameters radially and extend axially, is constituted to increase its diameter radially and to press the inner wall of the pipe.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

    【課題】細い管内において長い距離をスムーズに移動させることができる管内移動装置を提供する。【解決手段】この管内移動装置10は、第1人工筋肉20からなる3つの伸縮部21,22,23を有し、その空気室Rにエアーチューブで空気が供給され、エアーチューブ41,42は、他の伸縮部22,23の内側を通って、管内移動装置10の基端部29から引き出されており、各伸縮部21,22,23の空気室Rにエアーチューブを通して空気を供給すると、該伸縮部が径方向に拡径して前記管の内壁に圧接されるように構成され、かつ、少なくとも1つの伸縮部21,22,23は、他の伸縮部が径方向に縮径して軸方向に伸びた状態で、径方向に拡径して、管の内壁に圧接するように構成されている。【選択図】図1
