Amphibious inspection robot

Abstract

The invention relates to an amphibious inspection robot. The robot capable of running in water or on land for inspection is designed. Crawler wheels are arranged at the bottom of the robot and mounted on a bottom frame. A protective shell is mounted on the upper portion of the bottom frame. Propellers are mounted at the lower end and the top of the protective shell. Inspection devices are mounted in front of and behind the top of the protective shell. A mechanical arm is mounted in the middle of the top of the protective shell. The robot runs on land for inspection through the crawler wheels and runs in water for inspection through the propellers. The inspection devices mounted in front of and behind the protective shell shoot and record objects around the running route of the robot. When the front ends of the devices are hindered, objects hindering the front ends of the devices are treated through the mechanical arm, and normal running of the robot is guaranteed. Searchlights and high-definition cameras are mounted on the inspection devices. Bases of the inspection devices are rotatably arranged, and the surrounding conditions of the inspection robot can be shot and recorded. A protective box is arranged in the middle of the bottom frame. A controller, a main board and a power source for running of the robot are mounted in the box.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of inspection robots, and in particular relates to the design and manufacture of an amphibious inspection robot. Background technique [0002] According to the needs of all walks of life, we all need to establish corresponding inspection management work, especially in petrochemical, communication, gas, electric power, railway, highway and other fields, it is necessary to conduct regular or irregular inspections to find hidden dangers and eliminate faults in time , to ensure the safety of equipment, pipelines, cables, and roads. In the past, people’s routine inspections were to arrange staff to conduct regular or irregular inspections on equipment implementation, road cables, etc., to ensure the normal operation of all walks of life. With the development of the times, more and more system industries need to be inspected. It is no longer practical to use personnel to inspect. Many places cannot be reached by p...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

By setting the underframe at the bottom of the robot, installing track wheels on both sides of the underframe, and installing vertical propellers and horizontal propellers on the upper and middle parts of the underframe, the track wheels and propellers can realize the purpose that the robot can run on land and in water. The inspection device is installed before and after the protective shell installed on the robot. The inspection device is equipped with a rotating device, a searchlight and a camera to realize the full coverage of the rotating shooting and observation around the robot's operating range. When shooting in a dark place or underwater, the searchlight Provide lighting to meet the needs of shooting inspections; the top of the robot is equipped with a mechanical arm, and the front end of the robotic arm is equipped with a mechanical claw. Through the control and cooperation of the mechanical arm and the mechanical claw, it can discharge or collect samples from roadblocks that appear during the operation of the robot. Through reasonable design, it can realize amphibious use, remote control, and intelligent operation, and solve the shortcomings of the existing patrol inspection function, high requirements for the operating environment, and low intelligence.
