Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of robots, and in particular to a water leakage inspection robot. [Background technology]

[0002] Robots have basic characteristics such as perception, decision-making, and execution. They can assist or even replace humans in completing dangerous, heavy, and complex tasks, improve work efficiency and quality, serve human life, and expand or extend the scope of human activities and capabilities.

[0003] However, when testing glass leaks now, people are usually carried up in a pod, holding a high-pressure water gun and spraying water back and forth at the edge of the glass frame. It takes 5 minutes to spray back and forth every 1.5 meters. The process is very tiring, boring, unstable and unsafe.

[0004] Therefore, the existing technology is insufficient and needs to be improved. [Summary of the invention]

[0005] In order to overcome the above technical problems, the present invention provides a water leakage inspection robot.

[0006] The solution to the technical problem of the present invention is to provide a water leakage inspection robot, including a fixed bracket, a chain mechanism is provided on the inner side of the fixed bracket, a turntable bracket is provided on the opposite inner side of the fixed bracket, a water rotating head is provided in the middle of the turntable bracket, a water pipe is provided at one end of the water rotating head, a water inlet and a water pressure gauge are provided at the other end of the water pipe, a positioning suction cup is provided on one side of the fixed bracket, and soft feet are provided at the four corners of the fixed bracket.

[0007] Preferably, the chain mechanism includes a three-layer gear, a double-layer gear, a chain and a linkage bracket, the three-layer gear and the double-layer gear are connected by a chain transmission, two chains are provided, and the three-layer gear and the double-layer gear are provided at the inner four corners of the chain mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the three-layer gear and the double-layer gear are both rotatably connected to the inner side of the chain mechanism, a linkage bracket is provided on one side of the chain, a nozzle is provided on one side of the linkage bracket, and a nozzle water pipe is provided at one end of the nozzle.

[0009] Preferably, a driving motor is provided inside the chain mechanism, a main gear is provided at the driving end of the driving motor, and the main gear is connected to the three-layer gear transmission through a driving chain.

[0010] Preferably, a center of gravity adjustment plate is provided at the top end of the fixing bracket.

[0011] Preferably, a control box mounting bracket is provided on the opposite inner side of the fixing bracket.

[0012] Preferably, the length and width of the fixed bracket are both 550 cm.

[0013] Preferably, the soft feet are made of silicone material.

[0014] Preferably, the nozzle water pipe is inserted outside the incoming water swivel head.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the leak detection robot of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] Through the chain mechanism arranged inside the fixed bracket, the chain mechanism is provided with three double-layer gears, and there is also a three-layer gear among them. The three-layer gear and the double-layer gear are connected by chain drive. The three-layer gear is driven by a driving motor. The driving motor drives the main gear, and the main gear drives the three-layer gear to start rotating through the driving chain. The three-layer gear drives the double-layer gear to start rotating. The chain mechanism is set to be square, and the three-layer gear and the double-layer gear are arranged at the four corners. The three-layer gear and the double-layer gear are both rotatably connected to the inside of the chain mechanism, and there are two chains. The two chains can maintain that the nozzle will not be deflected by the reaction force of the water spray when moving in the moving direction and perpendicular to the glass. The chain starts to move in a square trajectory, and the linkage bracket drives the nozzle to move along with the chain, facilitating the nozzle to spray water to perform leak detection on the glass edge, so that the detection effect can be achieved.

[0017] Through the swivel head bracket arranged inside the chain mechanism, a water inlet swivel head is arranged in the middle of the swivel head bracket. One end of the water inlet swivel head is provided with a water pipe, and the other end of the water pipe is provided with a water inlet. Water flows from the water inlet through the water pipe to the water inlet swivel head. The water inlet swivel head can rotate freely. The nozzle water pipe at one end of the nozzle can be inserted outside the water inlet swivel head, facilitating the connection of the water source. When the nozzle starts to move along with the chain, the water inlet swivel head will rotate, so that it can spray water while moving, without interfering with the operation and use of the chain mechanism, and thus a better water spray effect can be achieved.

[0018] Through the positioning suction cups arranged on one side of the fixed bracket, soft feet are arranged at the four corners of the fixed bracket. The overall mechanism of the double-layer gear together with the fixed bracket can be adsorbed on the surface of the glass window to be tested. At this time, the soft feet will contact the glass window to be tested. The soft feet are made of silicone material to prevent damage to the glass window to be tested. When the four soft feet just contact the glass window to be tested, the spraying distance between the nozzle and the glass window to be tested is 300 mm. Then turn on the positioning suction cup to adsorb on the surface of the glass window to be tested. After the chain mechanism tests back and forth for five minutes, release the positioning suction cup and move to the next edge or window corner.

[0028] See also Figure 3The three-layer gear 10 and the double-layer gear 11 are both rotatably connected to the inner side of the chain mechanism 2. A linkage bracket 13 is provided on one side of the chain 12, and a nozzle 14 is provided on one side of the linkage bracket 13. A nozzle water pipe 15 is provided at one end of the nozzle 14. The rotation of the three-layer gear 10 and the double-layer gear 11 facilitates the transmission of the chain 12, and the water inside the nozzle water pipe 15 can be sprayed out through the nozzle 14.

[0029] See also Figure 3 A driving motor 7 is provided on the inner side of the chain mechanism 2, and a main gear is provided on the driving end of the driving motor 7. The main gear is connected to the three-layer gear 10 through an active chain. The chain mechanism 2 is driven to work by the driving motor 7, and the driving motor 7 can enable the chain 12 to start transmission.

[0030] See also Figure 2 The other side of the fixed bracket 3 is the glass window surface 1 to be tested.

[0031] See also Figure 3 A center of gravity adjustment plate 4 is provided at the top of the fixed bracket 3. The traction winch can be installed through the center of gravity adjustment plate 4. The installation position of the traction winch can be adjusted forward and backward to adjust the overall hanging weight.

[0032] See also Figure 2 A control box mounting bracket 8 is provided on the relative inner side of the fixed bracket 3, and the control box mounting bracket 8 can be used to install the control box.

[0033] See also Figure 1 The length and width of the fixed bracket 3 are approximately 550 cm.

[0034] See also Figure 2 The soft foot 9 is made of silicone material to prevent the soft foot 9 from damaging the glass window surface 1 being tested.

[0035] See also Figure 3 The nozzle water pipe 15 is plugged into the outside of the incoming water rotating head 16, so that water is introduced into the nozzle water pipe 15 through the incoming water rotating head 16 and then sprayed out by the nozzle 14.

[0036] The working principle and use process of the present invention are as follows: when in use, the robot is moved to one side of the glass window surface 1 to be tested by a traction winch, and then through the positioning suction cup 17 set on one side of the fixed bracket 3, the four corners of the fixed bracket 3 are provided with soft feet 9, and the double-layer gear 11 can be sucked on the surface of the glass window surface 1 to be tested. At this time, the soft feet 9 will contact the glass window surface 1 to be tested. The soft feet 9 are made of silicone material to prevent them from causing damage to the glass window surface 1 to be tested. When the four soft feet 9 just touch the glass window surface 1 to be tested, the spraying distance between the nozzle 14 and the glass window surface 1 to be tested is 300mm, and then Open the positioning suction cup 17 and suck it on the surface of the tested glass window surface 1 to start checking for water leakage. Then, through the chain mechanism 2 set on the inner side of the fixed bracket 3, the chain mechanism 2 is provided with three double-layer gears 11, among which there is also a three-layer gear 10. The three-layer gear 10 and the double-layer gear 11 are connected by a chain 12. The three-layer gear 10 is driven by the driving motor 7, and the driving motor 7 drives the main gear. The main gear drives the three-layer gear 10 through the active chain to start rotating. The three-layer gear 10 drives the double-layer gear 11 to start rotating. The chain mechanism 2 is set to a square, and the three-layer gear 10 and the double-layer gear 11 are set at the four corners. The gear 10 and the double-layer gear 11 are both rotatably connected to the inner side of the chain mechanism 2, and there are two chains 12. The two chains 12 can maintain the nozzle 14 in a moving direction perpendicular to the glass so that it will not be distorted by the recoil force of the spray. The chain 12 starts to move in a square trajectory, and the linkage bracket 13 moves with the nozzle 14 to follow the chain 12, so that the nozzle 14 can spray water to check the edge of the glass for water leakage. The rotating head bracket 18 is arranged on the inner side of the chain mechanism 2, and the middle of the rotating head bracket 18 is provided with a water rotating head 16. One end of the water rotating head 16 is provided with a water pipe 6, and the other end of the water pipe 6 is provided with a water inlet 5. Water passes through the water inlet 5 through the water pipe. The water flows into the pipe 6 to the incoming water rotating head 16, and the incoming water rotating head 16 can rotate freely. The nozzle water pipe 15 at one end of the nozzle 14 can be inserted into the outside of the incoming water rotating head 16 to facilitate the connection of the water source. When the nozzle 14 starts to move following the chain 12, the incoming water rotating head 16 will rotate, so that water can be sprayed while moving without interfering with the operation of the chain mechanism 2. In this way, a better water spraying effect can be achieved. After the chain mechanism 2 has been tested back and forth for five minutes, the positioning suction cup 17 is released, and then it is moved to the next edge or window corner by the traction winch. This can improve the safety of the water leakage detection, and can also better complete the water leakage detection work, and it is highly practical.
