The pivot axis of the first clamping arm 2 is parallel to the pivot axis of the second clamping arm 3. When the first clamping arm 2 and the second clamping arm 3 move synchronously, the first clamping arm 2 and the second clamping arm 3 open or close, so that the explosive can be clamped or released, and the explosive can be clamped stably, thereby reducing safety risks.

[0034] It should be noted that the second clamping arm 3 is driven by the first torsion member 4, and the first torsion member 4 is driven by the second clamping arm 3, thereby simplifying the power source required for clamping the explosive, which is beneficial to reducing the manufacturing cost of the robot arm.

[0036] Furthermore, a first anti-slip pad is provided on the side of the first clamping arm 2 facing the second clamping arm 3, and a second anti-slip pad is provided on the side of the second clamping arm 3 facing the first clamping arm 2. Both the first anti-slip pad and the second anti-slip pad can be made of sandpaper or a rubber pad with stripes on the surface. The first anti-slip pad and the second anti-slip pad increase friction to prevent the explosive from slipping.

[0037] Furthermore, a first buffer pad is provided between the first clamping arm 2 and the first anti-slip pad, and a second buffer pad is provided between the second clamping arm 3 and the second anti-slip pad. Both the first buffer pad and the second buffer pad are sponges for buffering the pressure during the clamping process, thereby improving the stability during the clamping process of the explosive.

[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, the mechanical arm includes a base 5 and a height adjustment device 6. The height adjustment device 6 is connected to the base 5 and the mounting base 1 respectively, and is used to drive the mounting base 1 to rise and fall.

[0039] Specifically, the height adjustment device 6 is a telescopic cylinder, the bottom end of which is connected to the base 5, and the mounting seat 1 is connected to the top end of the telescopic cylinder.

Among them, the push-pull device 7 is a telescopic cylinder, which is hinged with the base 5, or the push-pull device 7 includes a connecting rod 71, a rocking arm 72 and a third torsion member 73, and the third torsion member 73 is a steering gear or a servo motor, one end of the rocking arm 72 is connected to the driving shaft of the third torsion member 73, and the other end of the rocking arm 72 is hinged with the connecting rod 71, and the end of the connecting rod 71 away from the rocking arm 72 is hinged with the mounting seat 1. The rocking arm 72 is driven by the third torsion member 73 to swing around the axis of the driving shaft of the third torsion member 73, thereby pushing and pulling the connecting rod 71, and the connecting rod 71 pushes and pulls the mounting seat 1, so that the mounting seat 1 swings around the hinge axis between the mounting seat 1 and the height adjustment device 6.

[0043] Embodiment 2

[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bomb disposal vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present invention includes: a vehicle body 8, a detector 9, a controller and the mechanical arm provided in the first embodiment, the mechanical arm is arranged on the vehicle body 8, the detector 9 is connected to the vehicle body 8, and has the same orientation as the mechanical arm; the detector 9 is connected to the controller, and is used to identify the target object and detect the distance between the target object and the vehicle body 8.

[0045] Specifically, the detector 9 is used to detect and analyze whether there is explosive through the controller operation. The vehicle body 8 is used to move the mechanical arm to the corresponding position and clamp the explosive through the mechanical arm. The controller adopts a main control development board based on ATmega2560, model ArduinoMega 2560.

[0046] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle body 8 includes a chassis 81, a first driving member 82, a second driving member 83, a third driving member 84, a fourth driving member 85, a first omnidirectional wheel 86, a second omnidirectional wheel 87, a third omnidirectional wheel 88 and a fourth omnidirectional wheel 89, the first omnidirectional wheel 86 is connected to the driving shaft of the first driving member 82, the second omnidirectional wheel 87 is connected to the driving shaft of the second driving member 83, the third omnidirectional wheel 88 is connected to the driving shaft of the third driving member 84, the fourth omnidirectional wheel 89 is connected to the driving shaft of the fourth driving member 85, and the first driving member 82, the second driving member 83, the third driving member 84 The first and fourth drive members 85 all adopt photoelectric encoder motors, so that the number of rotations of the rotation speed can be accurately controlled.

The first drive member 82, the second drive member 83, the third drive member 84 and the fourth drive member 85 are respectively connected to the controller. By controlling the first drive member 82, the second drive member 83, the third drive member 84 and the fourth drive member 85 respectively, not only the forward or backward movement of the vehicle body 8 can be achieved, but also the movement of the vehicle body 8 to the left or right can be achieved.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present invention, the detector 9 includes an ultrasonic sensor 91 and a visual sensor 92, which are connected to the controller respectively. Two ultrasonic sensors 91 are provided, and both ultrasonic sensors 91 face the forward direction of the vehicle body 8 and are respectively located on both sides of the vehicle body 8, and the mechanical arm is located between the two ultrasonic sensors 91. Among them, the ultrasonic sensor 91 is used to detect the distance between the obstacle and the vehicle body 8, and the ultrasonic sensors 91 located on both sides of the mechanical arm can be used to detect whether the mechanical arm is aligned with the explosive. The visual sensor 92 is used to identify the explosive by color, size, shape and other aspects, and the distance between the explosive and the vehicle body 8 is detected by the ultrasonic sensor 91, and the appearance size of the explosive is detected by the visual sensor 92. In this process, the visual sensor 92 can detect the appearance size when it is a certain distance away from the explosive, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the size detection and avoiding the influence of the visual distance on the size detection. The visual sensor 92 adopts the Pixymon sensor, and the ultrasonic sensor 91 can select the ultrasonic distance sensor of model HC-SR04.

[0048] Embodiment 3

[0049] like Figure 6As shown, the search method provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0050] Identify suspected objects based on color; taking a black explosive placed on a lawn as an example, a grayscale value range is preset in the controller, and the visual sensor 92 is used to identify whether the grayscale value of the object is within the preset grayscale value range, and objects with colors similar to the explosive are determined as suspected objects.

[0051] Suspected objects are screened based on their projection area; the controller presets the size range of explosives, and by comparing the projection area of ​​suspected objects, objects that are smaller or too large are excluded, thereby narrowing the search range.

[0052] Screen suspected objects based on their outlines; exclude objects that are very different from explosives based on their shapes, thereby further narrowing the search scope.

[0053] The similarity between the image of the suspected object and the template image is calculated, and the suspected object with a similarity greater than a preset similarity is determined as the target object. The similarity between the image of the suspected object and the template image is calculated using a histogram similarity algorithm, and the suspected object is screened according to color, size and shape before comparing the image similarity, thereby narrowing the search range, which is conducive to improving the calculation speed of the similarity comparison, thereby improving the recognition efficiency of explosives.

[0054] Furthermore, screening the suspected object according to the outline of the suspected object includes: calculating the ratio of the projection area of ​​the suspected object to the area of ​​the smallest circumscribed rectangle of the suspected object outline to obtain an outline ratio; when the outline ratio exceeds a preset ratio range, the judgment of this frame of image is terminated. The closer the outline ratio is to 1, the more similar the outline of the suspected object is to a rectangle, and the suspected object is similar to the common outline of explosives, so objects with shapes that are obviously different from explosives can be excluded.

[0055] like Figure 7As shown, the search method includes the following steps: respectively calculating the distance between the two ultrasonic sensors 91 and the obstacle; when the left detection distance is greater than the right detection distance, controlling the bomb disposal vehicle to move to the left; when the right detection distance is greater than the left detection distance, controlling the bomb disposal vehicle to move to the right. Specifically, when the left detection distance is greater than the right detection distance, the ultrasonic sensor 91 on the left is farther from the obstacle, thereby controlling the bomb disposal vehicle to move to the left; when the right detection distance is greater than the left detection distance, the ultrasonic sensor 91 on the right is farther from the obstacle, thereby controlling the bomb disposal vehicle to move to the right. When the distances between the ultrasonic sensors 91 on the left and right sides and the obstacle are equal, it means that the mechanical arm located between the two ultrasonic sensors 91 is facing the obstacle, and the obstacle is identified by the visual sensor 92 to determine whether the obstacle is an explosive. If the obstacle is an explosive, the mechanical arm can directly clamp the explosive. The vehicle body 8 can move the explosive to the designated explosive destruction area after the explosive is clamped. During the process, no personnel need to approach the explosive, which can ensure the safety of the bomb disposal process.

[0056] It should be noted that when the visual sensor 92 is not facing the suspected object, the image filtering method in the prior art can be used to correct the collected image, thereby improving the accuracy of explosive identification.

[0057] like Figure 7 As shown, when the left detection distance is equal to the right detection distance, the vehicle body 8 is controlled to move forward or backward so that the left detection distance and the right detection distance are equal to the preset value. When the left detection distance is equal to the right detection distance, it means that the mechanical arm is facing the obstacle, and the left detection distance and the right detection distance are equal to the preset value, so as to ensure that the visual sensor 92 can accurately identify the color, shape and size of the suspected object.

[0058] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents.
