Fire-fighting robot capable of conveniently crossing obstacles

Abstract

This utility model relates to a firefighting robot that facilitates obstacle crossing, belonging to the field of firefighting robot technology. It includes a mounting base and a robot body fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base. The inner side of the mounting base is provided with an extension assembly for obstacle crossing. The extension assembly includes a dual-axis motor fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the mounting base. A threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the dual-axis motor, and threaded blocks are threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod. Connecting rods are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the two threaded blocks. When the visual sensor detects an obstacle ahead that the robot body cannot pass directly, the dual-axis motor starts, driving the threaded rod to rotate, causing the threaded blocks to move horizontally.

Simultaneously, the piston rod of the electric cylinder extends, causing the mounting base and the robot body to move upward.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of firefighting robot technology, specifically a firefighting robot that is convenient for overcoming obstacles. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of fire rescue, firefighting robots are playing an increasingly important role. With the acceleration of urbanization, urban environments are becoming increasingly complex, and fire scenes are becoming more diverse, often accompanied by unpredictable obstacles such as collapsed building debris and piled-up clutter. These obstacles not only hinder firefighters from quickly entering the fire scene for rescue and firefighting operations, but may also pose a serious threat to their lives.

[0003] Firefighting equipment faces numerous limitations when dealing with complex obstacles. For example, ordinary fire trucks, due to their large size and lack of agile obstacle-crossing capabilities, struggle to maneuver freely and approach the fire source in narrow and chaotic fire scenes. While some small firefighting robots possess some short-range mobility, most cannot traverse higher obstacles, hindering their ability to effectively reach the core of fires when facing large collapsed structures or debris, thus impacting rescue and firefighting efficiency. Therefore, this paper proposes a firefighting robot with convenient obstacle-crossing capabilities to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a firefighting robot that facilitates obstacle crossing, possessing advantages such as obstacle crossing capability, and solving the problems mentioned in the background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A firefighting robot that facilitates obstacle crossing includes a mounting base and a robot body fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base. The inner side of the mounting base is provided with an extension component for obstacle crossing.

[0007] The extension assembly includes a dual-axis motor fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the mounting base. The output shaft of the dual-axis motor is fixedly connected to a threaded rod. A threaded block is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to each of the two threaded blocks on opposite sides. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod. A lifting component is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block. A moving track is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting component.

[0008] Furthermore, robotic arms are fixedly connected to the top left and top right sides of the robot body, and a vision sensor is fixedly connected to the front of the robot body.

[0009] Furthermore, the height and width of the threaded block are equal to the height and width inside the mounting base, respectively, and the threaded block is slidably connected between the inner top wall and the inner bottom wall of the mounting base.

[0010] Furthermore, the left end of the threaded rod on the left side is rotatably connected to the inner left side wall of the mounting base, and the right end of the threaded rod on the right side is rotatably connected to the inner right side wall of the mounting base.

[0011] Furthermore, there are four connecting rods on both the left and right sides, with the four connecting rods on the left side arranged at the four corners on the left side of the left threaded block, and the four connecting rods on the right side arranged at the four corners on the right side of the right threaded block.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting component includes a housing and an electric cylinder fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the housing, and the moving track is fixedly connected to the bottom of the corresponding housing, and the fixing block is fixedly connected to one end of the piston rod of the corresponding electric cylinder.

[0013] Furthermore, the top of the inner side of the housing is provided with a telescopic opening that is adapted to the piston rod of the electric cylinder, and the piston rod of the electric cylinder is slidably connected to the inner side of the corresponding telescopic opening.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a firefighting robot that can easily overcome obstacles, and has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] This obstacle-crossing firefighting robot activates its dual-axis motors when its visual sensors detect an obstacle that the robot cannot pass directly. This motors rotate the threaded rod, causing the threaded block to move horizontally. The threaded block then moves outward via the connecting rod, extending the lifting mechanism and the moving tracks. Simultaneously, the piston rod of the electric cylinder extends, lifting the mounting base and the robot body upward. This allows the robot to be raised to a sufficient height to overcome various tall obstacles, significantly improving its mobility in complex fire scenes. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This embodiment of a fire-fighting robot that facilitates obstacle crossing includes a mounting base 1 and a robot body 2 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting base 1. The inner side of the mounting base 1 is provided with an extension component for obstacle crossing.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 In this embodiment, the extension assembly includes a dual-axis motor 3 fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the mounting base 1. The output shaft of the dual-axis motor 3 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 4. A threaded block 5 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the threaded rod 4. A connecting rod 6 is fixedly connected to the opposite side of the two threaded blocks 5. A fixing block 7 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rod 6. A lifting component 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block 7. A movable track 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting component 8.

[0023] Specifically, robotic arms 201 are fixedly connected to the top left and top right sides of the robot body 2, and a vision sensor 202 is fixedly connected to the front of the robot body 2.

[0024] It should be noted that the vision sensor 202 can collect information about the robot's front and surrounding environment in real time, including the position, shape, and size of obstacles, as well as the distribution of other objects on site, and accurately transmit this information to the robot's control system. The robotic arms 201 on both sides can then perform various operational tasks under the instructions of the control system based on the information provided by the vision sensor 202.

[0025] Specifically, the height and width of the threaded block 5 are equal to the height and width inside the mounting base 1, and the threaded block 5 is slidably connected between the inner top wall and the inner bottom wall of the mounting base 1.

[0026] Specifically, the left end of the left threaded rod 4 is rotatably connected to the inner left side wall of the mounting base 1, and the right end of the right threaded rod 4 is rotatably connected to the inner right side wall of the mounting base 1.

[0027] Specifically, there are four connecting rods 6 on both the left and right sides. The four connecting rods 6 on the left side are arranged at the four corners on the left side of the left threaded block 5, and the four connecting rods 6 on the right side are arranged at the four corners on the right side of the right threaded block 5.

[0028] Specifically, the lifting component 8 includes a housing 801 and an electric cylinder 802 fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the housing 801, and the moving track 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the corresponding housing 801, and the fixing block 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the piston rod of the corresponding electric cylinder 802.

[0029] It should be noted that the electric cylinder 802 drives the mounting base 1 to rise and fall through the fixed block 7.

[0030] Specifically, the top of the inner side of the housing 801 is provided with a telescopic port that is adapted to the piston rod of the electric cylinder 802, and the piston rod of the electric cylinder 802 is slidably connected to the inner side of the corresponding telescopic port.

[0031] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0032] When the vision sensor 202 detects an obstacle ahead and determines that the robot body 2 cannot pass directly, the control system sends a start signal to the dual-axis motor 3. The dual-axis motor 3 starts working, and its two output shafts drive the left threaded rod 4 and the right threaded rod 4 to rotate synchronously. Under the rotation of the threaded rod 4, the threaded block 5 will move horizontally. As the threaded block 5 moves, the connecting rod 6 will push the fixed block 7 to move outward, thereby causing the lifting component 8 and the moving track 9 to extend, providing space to pass through. At the same time, the control system sends a command to the electric cylinder 802, and the piston rod of the electric cylinder 802 begins to extend, driving the mounting base 1 and the robot body 2 to move upward. When the robot body 2 is raised to a sufficient height to pass through the obstacle ahead, the control system controls the electric cylinder 802 to stop working.

[0033] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods, and any method that achieves the desired beneficial effect can be implemented. Furthermore, all electrical components in this embodiment are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply. The main controller can be a conventional, known device such as a computer that performs control functions. Those skilled in the art can control the electrical components through simple programming, and the existing disclosed power connection technologies are common knowledge in the field. Therefore, this embodiment will not elaborate further on their specific structural composition and working principles.
