Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0023] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0024] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a leg adjustment and locking component for a tea garden operation robot, comprising: Connecting frame 1, with rod 3 slidably installed inside connecting frame 1; Two grooves 11 are formed on the two side walls of the rod body 3; A locking component is provided on the inner wall of the connecting frame 1, and the locking component is located in one of the grooves 11; An adjustment component is provided on the inner wall of the connecting frame 1, and the adjustment component is located in another groove 11; A control component is mounted on the side wall of the connecting frame 1, and is connected to the locking component and the adjustment component. The adjustment components include: Two rack plates 12 are respectively fixed on the two inner walls of one of the grooves 11; Mounting base 24 is provided on the side wall of connecting frame 1; Drive shaft 29 passes through mounting base 24; Multiple transmission components are mounted on the transmission shaft 29; Gear ring 30, gear ring 30 is connected to multiple transmission components, and gear ring 30 is adapted to two rack plates 12; The power assembly is slidably mounted on the side wall of the connecting frame 1 and is connected to the drive shaft 29 and the control assembly.
[0025] Furthermore, the transmission components include: The transmission block 31 is fixed on the inner wall of the gear ring 30, and a second neodymium magnet 35 is fixed on both side walls of the transmission block 31. Two support plates 32 are fixed on the side wall of the transmission shaft 29, and the two support plates 32 are respectively located on both sides of the transmission block 31. A first neodymium magnet 34 is fixed on the side wall of each support plate 32. The arc-shaped rod 33 is fixed to the two support plates 32, and the arc-shaped rod 33 is slidably connected to the transmission block 31.
[0026] If the toothed ring 30 interferes with the rack plate 12 during horizontal movement, the toothed ring 30 can rotate within a certain range around the transmission shaft 29 through the action of the first neodymium magnet 34 and the second neodymium magnet 35, as well as through the sliding between the transmission block 31 and the arc rod 33. This ensures that the toothed ring 30 can mesh with the rack plate 12 after adjustment. Through the action of the first neodymium magnet 34 and the second neodymium magnet 35, the first neodymium magnet 34 can be brought closer to the second neodymium magnet 35 during the rotation of the transmission shaft 29. Under the action of repulsion, the toothed ring 30 is driven to rotate through the transmission block 31.
[0027] Furthermore, the powertrain components include: Mounting box 16, with connecting components fixed at the top and bottom, and both connecting components fixed to the connecting frame 1. A servo motor is installed inside the mounting box 16, and the output shaft and transmission shaft 29 of the servo motor are fixed. Connector 17 is fixed to the side wall of mounting box 16; Link 10 is rotatably connected to connecting seat 17.
[0028] Furthermore, the connection components include: Two fixing plates 13 are fixed to the side wall of the connecting frame 1; Limiting rod 14, the limiting rod 14 is fixed between two fixing plates 13; Connecting block 15 is slidably connected to limiting rod 14, and connecting block 15 is fixed to mounting box 16.
[0029] Furthermore, the locking components include: Two connecting plates 21 are slidably disposed on the inner wall of the connecting frame 1; Two rubber plates 22 are fixed to two connecting plates 21 respectively; Two mounting components are fixed to the inner wall of the connecting frame 1, and both mounting components are connected to two connecting plates 21.
[0030] Furthermore, the installation components include: Fixing seat 18, fixing seat 18 is fixed on the inner wall of connecting frame 1; The cylinder 19 is fixed to the mounting base 18; Two sliding rods 20 are slidably disposed inside the cylinder 19, and the two sliding rods 20 and the two connecting plates 21 are fixed.
[0031] Furthermore, it also includes: The first through hole 9 is formed on the side wall of the connecting frame 1; Adjusting rod 23, the adjusting rod 23 passes through the first through hole 9; There are two tensioning components, both of which are connected to the adjusting rod 23, and each of the two tensioning components is connected to one of the two connecting plates 21.
[0032] Furthermore, the tensioning component includes: Two mounting bases 24, one of which is fixed to the adjusting rod 23, and the other mounting base 24 is fixed to the connecting plate 21; Two mounting blocks 25 are rotatably connected to two mounting bases 24 respectively; Sleeve 26, sleeve 26 and one of the mounting blocks 25 are fixed together, and piston 28 is slidably disposed inside sleeve 26; Sleeve 27 is fixed to another mounting block 25, and sleeve 27 is fixed to piston 28.
[0033] When the adjusting rod 23 is in the middle position of the first through hole 9, the distance between the two mounting seats 24 is the smallest, which allows the sleeve rod 27 to enter the sleeve 26. Under the action of the piston 28, the air pressure in the sleeve 26 rises. Through the reaction force, the two connecting plates 21 tend to move away from each other. At this time, the rubber plate 22 abuts against the inner surface of the groove 11. Through the friction between the rubber plate 22 and the groove 11, the fixation between the rod body 3 and the connecting frame 1 can be guaranteed. When the adjusting rod 23 is above or below the first through hole 9, the distance between the two mounting seats 24 is at its maximum, which can drive the two connecting plates 21 to move closer to each other, so that the rubber plate 22 is away from the inner surface of the groove 11, thereby reducing the overall friction between the rod body 3 and the connecting frame 1, so as to facilitate the sliding between the rod body 3 and the connecting frame 1.
[0034] Furthermore, the control components include: Fixing block 5 is fixed to the side wall of connecting frame 1; Electric push rod 6, electric push rod 6 and fixing block 5 are fixed; Connecting rod 7 is fixed to the telescopic end of electric push rod 6. One end of connecting rod 7 is fixed with transmission rod 8, and transmission rod 8 and adjusting rod 23 are fixed. The other end of connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected with connecting rod 10, and connecting rod 10 and connecting seat 17 are rotatably connected.
[0035] When the switch of the electric push rod 6 is turned on, the electric push rod 6 drives the connecting rod 7 to move. During the movement of the connecting rod 7, the mounting box 16 is pushed to move through the action of the connecting rod 10 and the connecting seat 17. During the movement of the connecting rod 7, the adjusting rod 23 is driven to slide in the first through hole 9 through the transmission rod 8.
[0036] Furthermore, a connecting frame 2 is fixed to the side wall of the connecting frame 1, and the side wall of the connecting frame 2 is provided with mounting holes. A traveling wheel 4 is provided at the bottom of the rod body 3.
[0037] The specific working method is as follows: When it is necessary to adjust the distance between the walking wheel 4 and the connecting frame 1, that is, to adjust the overall height of the tea garden operation robot, turn on the switch of the electric push rod 6. When the electric push rod 6 works, it drives the connecting rod 7 to move. During the movement of the connecting rod 7, the mounting box 16 is pushed to move through the action of the connecting rod 10 and the connecting seat 17. Then, the gear ring 30 is driven to move through the servo motor, the transmission shaft 29, the support plate 32, the arc rod 33 and the transmission block 31. When the gear ring 30 is engaged with one of the rack plates 12, turn on the switch of the servo motor. At this time, the rod 3 rises along the connecting frame 1. When the gear ring 30 is engaged with the other rack plate 12, the servo motor works and the rod 3 falls along the connecting frame 1, thus realizing the overall height adjustment of the tea garden operation robot. During the movement of the connecting rod 7, the transmission rod 8 drives the adjusting rod 23 to slide in the first through hole 9. Then, through the mounting seat 24, mounting block 25, sleeve 26, piston 28 and sleeve rod 27, the two connecting plates 21 are brought closer to each other, thereby moving the rubber plate 22 away from the inner surface of the groove 11, so as to reduce the friction between the connecting frame 1 and the rod body 3 as a whole, thus ensuring that the rod body 3 can slide normally along the connecting frame 1. After the height adjustment is completed, the connecting rod 7 is reset by the electric push rod 6. At this time, under the action of the piston 28, the air pressure inside the sleeve rod 27 rises. Through the action of air pressure, the two connecting plates 21 separate from each other. At this time, the rubber plate 22 abuts against the inner surface of the groove 11 to increase the overall friction between the rod body 3 and the connecting frame 1. At this time, the fixing between the connecting frame 1 and the rod body 3 can be achieved.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
