Hexapod robot for maintenance of heavy vehicle chassis

Abstract

The invention discloses a hexapod robot for maintenance of a heavy vehicle chassis, and relates to the technical field of vehicle maintenance equipment. The hexapod robot comprises a controller and amobile platform for bearing a laser radar, a camera and an operating arm, the edge of the mobile platform is provided with a hexapod walking device, and the controller is in wireless connection with the laser radar, the camera and the operating arm. The laser radar scans a vehicle and automatically plans a path, the environment below the vehicle chassis is observed by means of the camera to facilitate maintenance operation, the hexapod walking device on the edge of the mobile platform is remotely controlled by the controller to conduct coordination and posture adjustment movement to achieve autonomous movement and multi-leg-foot coordination work, all-around position and posture adjustment of the maintenance robot below the vehicle chassis can be achieved, and maintenance operation is conducted by controlling the action of the operation arm. Bolt loading, unloading, oil changing or cleaning maintenance work can be carried out on the chassis system, and the chassis system is particularly suitable for maintenance of narrow space places below the vehicle chassis.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vehicle maintenance equipment, in particular to a hexapod robot used for chassis maintenance of heavy vehicles. Background technique [0002] Heavy-duty vehicle chassis maintenance usually requires maintenance personnel to drill under the chassis. Not only is the working space narrow and the working environment is harsh, but due to the high work intensity, it is easy to cause joint fatigue and other conditions, and it is inevitable that there will be work mistakes. In addition, the maintenance work of the existing vehicle chassis generally needs to be carried out in the trench environment, which leads to the limitation of the maintenance work by the site, which is not conducive to field operations. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a maintenance robot suitable for field operations, which can meet the chassis maintenance requirements in complex field environments, and can be generalized to complete mai...

Problems solved by technology

However, the above combination has its inherent limitations: first, the commonly used crawler and wheeled mobile chassis cannot adapt to the complex field operation environment; second, it cannot be applied to some applications with low height and large force or torque required by the end tools
