Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of robot applications, and particularly to a special equipment confined space detection robot.

Background Art

[0002] Due to the narrow space in the special equipment confined space, manual detection cannot be carried out. At present, there are related pipeline detection and container detection systems at home and abroad, such as endoscopes, container mirrors, pipeline crawling devices and other detection equipment. However, these devices all have some application blind spots to varying degrees. For example, the endoscope cannot control the orientation to reach the predetermined position, has no optical zoom, and has a small depth of field; when there are obstacles inside the container mirror, there is a problem of limited field of view occlusion. The pipeline crawling device can carry a probe or camera to crawl inside the container and pipeline, realizing the automation of non-destructive testing, which brings great convenience to people. However, the current crawling robots can only walk flat in a small space and cannot walk on the side walls, tops or inclined parts of the container or special mechanism for visual inspection, so the detection range is limited and it is difficult to achieve full coverage.

Detailed implementation manner

[0032] In order to express the present invention more clearly, the present invention will be further described below through specific embodiments.

[0033] The present invention provides a special equipment confined space detection robot for detecting the confined space of ferromagnetic equipment. It is a humanoid robot with four limbs. A camera 01, a central controller and a power supply are installed on the robot. The camera 01 is used to collect images inside the confined space. The central controller is used for the coordinated control of the robot's actions and communication with the outside. The robot can walk upright, bend down and crawl. One of the improvement points of the present invention is that electromagnets are installed on all four limbs of the robot. The electromagnets are electrically connected to the central controller. By controlling the electromagnets on the four limbs to be alternately energized and de-energized, the robot can walk upright, crawl on the side wall, top or inclined part of the ferromagnetic confined space container, so as to perform omnidirectional visual detection.

[0034] For this detection robot, in the embodiment of the present invention, the camera 01 is specifically installed on the head of the robot. The present invention also makes the following settings for the head and the control of the head. See Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the head is connected to the upper body seat 05 through a head drive mechanism; the head is provided with a head cover 02 and a head bottom cover 54. The camera 01 is specifically installed on the front of the head cover 02; the head drive mechanism includes a head left-right rotation shaft 55, a head up-down rotation shaft 53, a head up-down rotation servo motor 52 and a head left-right rotation servo motor 03; the lower end of the head cover 02 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the head left-right rotation shaft 55 through a fixing member. The lower end of the head left-right rotation shaft 55 sequentially passes through the upper body seat 05 and the head up-down rotation shaft 53 vertically and enters the inside of the head up-down rotation shaft 53. The lower end of the head left-right rotation shaft 55 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the head left-right rotation servo motor 03. The head left-right rotation servo motor 03 drives the head left-right rotation shaft 55 to rotate left and right. When the head left-right rotation shaft 55 rotates left and right, it will drive the head cover and the camera 01 to rotate, and scan left and right inside the space; specifically during installation, the head left-right rotation servo motor 03 is installed inside the head up-down rotation shaft 53 or inside the upper body seat 05. Both ends of the head up-down rotation shaft 53 are fixed inside the upper body seat 05 of the robot through head up-down movement shaft end bearings 04 and are in a horizontal state. One end of the head up-down rotation shaft 53 is connected to the output shaft of the head up-down rotation servo motor 52. The head up-down rotation servo motor 52 drives the head up-down rotation shaft 53 to rotate. When the head up-down rotation shaft 53 rotates, it will drive the head cover 02 and the camera 01 to rotate, and scan up and down the space. Specifically during installation, the head up-down rotation servo motor 52 is fixed inside the upper body seat 05; both the head up-down rotation servo motor 52 and the head left-right rotation servo motor 03 are electrically connected to the central controller.

[0035] Due to the limited space, the structure of the robot is required to be as simple as possible, small in size, and easy to control. To meet the requirements of both function and size, the present invention improves the limb structure and drive mechanism of the robot. Specifically, to enable the inspection robot to walk upright, an upper body seat 05 is specifically provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The lower end of the upper body seat 05 is a lower body seat. On the left and right sides near the lower end of the lower body seat, a left lower limb and a right lower limb are respectively provided. The left lower limb and the right lower limb are respectively driven by their own upright walking drive mechanisms. Each upright walking drive mechanism includes an upright servo motor and an upright gear set, and the upright gear set is driven to rotate by the upright servo motor. The structures of the left lower limb and the right lower limb are the same in composition, but the two structures are symmetrical.

The right end of the electromagnet connecting frame rotating shaft 25 passes through the lower rotating wheel 58 of the left lower limb and the shaft hole and is assembled on the second fixing member 56 of the left lower limb through a bearing. The electromagnet connecting frame rotating shaft 25 is fixedly connected to the center of the lower rotating wheel 58 of the left lower limb; the electromagnet support 27 of the left lower limb is preferably a U-shaped frame. The two sides of the electromagnet support 27 of the left lower limb are rotatably assembled on the electromagnet connecting frame 59 of the left lower limb through the electromagnet support rotating shaft 28 and the bearing 57, that is, the two sides of the electromagnet support 27 of the left lower limb and the two sides of the electromagnet connecting frame 59 are correspondingly provided with shaft holes, and the electromagnet support rotating shaft 28 passes through the shaft holes on the two sides of the electromagnet support 27 of the left lower limb and the shaft holes on the two sides of the electromagnet connecting frame 59.

The fixing screw 61 of the electromagnet 29 of the left lower limb passes through the assembly hole 60 and is threadedly connected to the electromagnet 29 of the left lower limb, thereby fixing the electromagnet 29 of the left lower limb on the electromagnet support 27 of the left lower limb.

[0037] The structure of the right lower limb is consistent with that of the left lower limb, and the structure of the right lower limb is symmetric to that of the left lower limb, which will not be elaborated here.

[0046] (5) Control of the upper limbs: While the central controller in step (2) controls the upright servo motor 32 of the left lower limb to rotate by a certain angle, it controls the upright servo motor 44 of the right arm to rotate by a certain angle, driving the electromagnet bracket of the right arm to swing forward, and controls the upright servo motor 06 of the left arm to reverse by a certain angle, driving the left arm to swing backward; When the central controller in step (2) controls the upright servo motor 32 of the left lower limb to reverse, it controls the upright servo motor 44 of the right arm to reverse by a certain angle, driving the right arm to swing backward, and controls the upright servo motor 06 of the left arm to also rotate by a certain angle, driving the left arm to swing forward; When the central controller in step (3) controls the upright servo motor 34 of the right lower limb to rotate, it also controls the upright servo motor 06 of the left arm to rotate by a certain angle, driving the left arm to swing forward, and controls the upright servo motor 44 of the right arm to reverse by a certain angle, driving the right arm to swing backward; When the central controller in step (3) controls the upright servo motor 34 of the right lower limb to reverse, it controls the upright servo motor 06 of the left arm to reverse by a certain angle, driving the left arm to swing backward, and controls the upright servo motor 44 of the right arm to rotate by a certain angle, driving the right arm to swing forward.

[0047] Due to the uneven shape of the restricted space of some containers and the need for the robot to crawl on its belly in the case of further narrowing of the space, the present invention also provides a corresponding crawling drive mechanism. Specifically, the left arm, the right arm, the left lower limb, and the right lower limb are each connected with a crawling drive mechanism, and the crawling drive mechanism includes a crawling gear set and a crawling servo motor; The part of the rotating wheel shaft 62 of the left lower limb located inside the lower body seat is fixedly sleeved with the crawling gear set 30 of the left lower limb, and the crawling gear set 30 of the left lower limb is driven by the crawling servo motor 33 of the left lower limb; The connection methods of the right arm with the crawling drive mechanism of the right arm, the left arm with the crawling drive mechanism of the left arm, and the right lower limb with the crawling drive mechanism of the right lower limb are all the same as the connection method of the left lower limb with the crawling drive mechanism of the left lower limb, and will not be listed one by one here; The crawling servo motor 33 of the left lower limb, the crawling servo motor 35 of the right lower limb, the crawling servo motor 07 of the left arm, and the crawling servo motor 43 of the right arm are all electrically connected to the central controller.

[0048] Based on this improved structure, this embodiment also provides a crawling control method for the special equipment restricted space detection robot, specifically:

[0049] (1) Control the robot to bend down to the initial crawling state: The robot is initially in an upright state. The central controller controls the electromagnets 29 of the left lower limb and 38 of the right lower limb to be energized, adsorbing on the working surface in the restricted space container. The central controller controls the upright servo motors 32 of the left lower limb and 34 of the right lower limb to rotate simultaneously until the electromagnets 23 of the left arm and 45 of the right arm touch the working surface, and synchronously controls the electromagnets 23 of the left arm and 45 of the right arm to be energized and adsorbed on the working surface. At this time, it is in the initial state of the crawling state;

[0050] (2) Control of crawling: After the central controller receives the crawling instruction, it cuts off the power supply of the electromagnets 23 of the left arm and 38 of the right lower limb; controls the rotation of the crawling servo motor 07 of the left arm, thereby driving the crawling gear set 09 of the left arm to drive the electromagnet connecting frame of the left arm to move forward, synchronously controls the rotation of the crawling servo motor of the right lower limb, drives the crawling gear set 36 of the right lower limb to drive the electromagnet connecting frame of the right lower limb to move forward, synchronously controls the rotation of the crawling servo motor 43 of the right arm, drives the crawling gear set 50 of the right arm to drive the electromagnet connecting frame of the right arm to bend forward, and synchronously controls the rotation of the crawling servo motor 33 of the left lower limb, drives the crawling gear set 30 of the left lower limb to drive the electromagnet connecting frame 59 of the left lower limb to bend forward; when the electromagnets 23 of the left arm and 38 of the right lower limb contact the working surface, control the electromagnets 23 of the left arm and 38 of the right lower limb to be energized to adsorb the working surface, cut off the power supply of the electromagnets 45 of the right arm and 29 of the left lower limb, and at the same time, the four groups of driving servo motors rotate in reverse by a certain angle to make the robot move upward; then control the rotation of the crawling servo motor 43 of the right arm, drive the crawling gear set 50 of the right arm to drive the right arm to move forward, synchronously control the rotation of the crawling servo motor 33 of the left lower limb to drive, drive the crawling gear set 30 of the left lower limb to drive the electromagnet bracket of the left lower limb to move forward, synchronously control the rotation of the crawling servo motor 07 of the left arm, drive the crawling gear set 09 of the left arm to drive the electromagnet bracket of the left arm to bend forward, synchronously control the rotation of the crawling servo motor 35 of the right lower limb, drive the crawling gear set 36 of the right lower limb to drive the electromagnet bracket of the right lower limb to bend forward, when the electromagnets 45 of the right arm and 29 of the left lower limb contact the working surface, the electromagnets 45 of the right arm and 29 of the left lower limb are energized to adsorb on the working surface; repeat the above actions in step (2) to complete the crawling action.

[0051] In the control process of the present invention, when the four limbs re - contact the working surface, it can be judged by various methods. One is to judge through a set program, such as judging by the rotation time of the motor. For upright walking, the angle of rotation of the electromagnet bracket of the left lower limb is pre - designed each time the left lower limb moves forward, record the operation time of the upright servo motor of the left lower limb at this time, calculate the rotation time of the upright servo motor 33 of the right lower limb when the electromagnet of the left lower limb re - contacts the working surface, and write the operation control time of the motor into the control program of the central controller. The principles in other walking and crawling situations are similar. The second is to install distance sensors on the four limbs, such as next to the electromagnets, to realize the judgment of distance.

[0052] As some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the central controller is connected to the intelligent terminal through a wireless communication module, and transmits the image information collected by the camera 01 to the intelligent terminal for real - time monitoring to realize the detection of the restricted space.

[0053] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the power source is a rechargeable battery, which is circuit-connected to the central controller and supplies electrical energy to each power-consuming unit.

[0054] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, it further includes a supporting remote control operation platform 21. The remote control operation platform 21 communicates with the central controller through a wireless communication module, thereby realizing the control of the robot. Specifically, the remote control operation platform 21 can be provided with a forward, backward, left, and right movement travel control lever 14 according to functional requirements, and function keys such as a bending key 15, an upright key 16, a head-up key 17, a head-left-turn key 20, a head-right-turn key 19, and a head-down key 18 can be set; a display screen 13 can also be set for real-time display.

[0055] When the travel control lever 14 of the operation platform 21 is pushed to the right direction, the control method is as follows: the electromagnet 38 of the right lower limb remains in the energized adsorption state, the electromagnet 29 of the left lower limb is controlled to be powered off, the upright servo motor 32 of the left lower limb is controlled to rotate a certain angle, the electromagnet 29 of the left lower limb moves forward through driving, the electromagnet 38 of the right lower limb is in the energized state synchronously, and at the same time, the upright servo motor 34 of the right lower limb is controlled to rotate, driving the upright gear set 37 of the right lower limb to drive the rotating wheel shaft of the right lower limb to rotate, and the body of the robot tilts forward by a certain angle. When the electromagnet 29 of the left lower limb touches the working surface, the electromagnet 29 of the left lower limb is controlled to be powered on and adsorbed to the working surface, and the left lower limb moves forward by a certain distance; while the electromagnet 29 of the left lower limb is powered on, the upright servo motor 32 of the left lower limb is controlled to reverse, driving the upright gear set 31 of the left lower limb to reverse, and the robot rotates by a certain angle; repeating the above steps, when the robot rotates to the required rightward angle, the left and right lower limbs move forward in a normal state.

[0056] When the travel control lever 14 of the operation platform 21 is pushed to the left direction, the control method is as follows: the electromagnet of the left lower limb remains in the energized adsorption state, the electromagnet of the right lower limb moves forward powered off, and the forward principle is similar to that of turning right. When the robot rotates to the required leftward angle, the left and right lower limbs move forward in a normal state.

[0057] When the travel control lever 14 of the operation platform 21 is pushed to the backward direction, the left lower limb remains in the energized adsorption state, the right lower limb moves forward powered off, and the forward principle is the same as that of turning right. When the robot rotates to the required backward angle, the left and right lower limbs move backward in a normal state.

[0058] When the bending key 15 of the operation platform 21 is operated, the left lower limb electromagnet 29 and the right lower limb electromagnet 39 are simultaneously in the energized adsorption state, and the left lower limb upright servo motor 32 and the right lower limb upright servo motor 34 are simultaneously driven until the electromagnets 23 of the left arm and the electromagnets 45 of the right arm come into contact with the working surface. The electromagnets 23 of the left arm and the electromagnets 45 of the right arm are energized and adsorbed on the working surface synchronously. At this time, it is in the initial state of crawling. It is also possible to perform the upright walking mode when bending to a certain degree.

[0059] When the upright key 16 of the operation platform 21 is operated, the left lower limb upright servo motor 32 and the right lower limb upright servo motor 34 are simultaneously driven in reverse until they stop at the required angle.

However, the embodiment is not used to limit the patent application scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications completed under the technical spirit disclosed by the present invention shall fall within the patent scope covered by the present invention.
