A shovel frame is fixedly mounted on both sides of the frame assembly. A bearing is movably engaged at one end of the shovel frame, and a shovel blade is fixedly mounted at the other end of the bearing. A rectangular groove is formed on the lower surface of the shovel blade. Fixing plates are fixedly mounted on the two inner sidewalls of the rectangular groove. A torsion spring is fixedly mounted in the middle of the upper surface of the fixing plate. A rotating arm is fixedly mounted at the top of the torsion spring.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mining robot technology, specifically to a multi-functional mining robot. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, dangerous positions in coal mining are mainly distributed in tunneling, coal mining, transportation, electrical work, maintenance, and inspection. Miners in these dangerous positions account for nearly 60% of the total number of underground workers, and the accident fatality rate is as high as 85%. In order to fundamentally solve the safety production problems in the coal industry and improve the efficiency of coal mine production, coal mining robots will replace miners in performing these high-risk operations.

[0003] Due to the unique environment inside mines, existing mining robots cannot be used to measure the internal topography of mines using traditional methods. Instead, they rely on large measuring instruments or ordinary measuring instruments. However, the size of the mines varies, making it impossible to fit the large measuring instruments inside. Furthermore, ordinary measuring instruments are immobile and have blind spots, requiring workers to carry them into the mine for surveying. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also carries a risk to the safety of the workers. Summary of the Invention

A ball joint is fixedly mounted at one end of the extension rod. A circular groove is formed on one side surface of the clearing block, and the circular groove slidably engages with the ball joint.

[0008] Preferably, a sampling device is connected through the oblique edge of the front of the frame assembly. The sampling device includes a delivery tube, one end of which is connected through the interior of the frame assembly and extends to the rear end of the frame assembly.

[0009] Preferably, the other end of the conveying pipe is connected to a collecting plate, the bottom of the outer arc surface of the collecting plate is shovel-shaped, the inner arc surface of the collecting plate is movably engaged with a collecting auger, the inner side wall of the conveying pipe is fixedly installed with a screw conveyor by a motor, a collection box is fixedly installed in the middle of the back of the frame assembly, and a screw conveyor is provided above the collection box and adapted to it.

[0010] Preferably, a geological scanner is fixedly mounted on one side of the upper surface of the frame assembly, and a signal receiver is fixedly mounted on the side of the upper surface of the frame assembly closest to the geological scanner.

[0011] Preferably, drive teeth are fixedly installed on one side of both sides of the frame assembly via an internal motor, and a track is connected to one side of the drive teeth by meshing teeth. Guide wheels are movably connected to the other side of both sides of the frame assembly, and the guide wheels are adapted to engage with the track.

[0012] Preferably, the chassis assembly is equipped with a central processing unit (CPU). The output of the CPU is electrically connected to an administrator login module, the output of which is electrically connected to the input of the CPU. The output of the CPU is also electrically connected to a power supply module, a scanning module, and the output of which is electrically connected to the input of the CPU. The CPU is further connected to a kinetic energy control module, a obstacle clearing module, and the output of which is electrically connected to the input of the CPU. Finally, the CPU is also electrically connected to a sampling and conveying module.

[0013] Preferably, the output end of the sampling and conveying module is electrically connected to the input end of the central processing unit (CPU), the output end of the CPU is electrically connected to a data storage module, the output end of the data storage module is electrically connected to the input end of the CPU, the output end of the CPU is electrically connected to a data transfer module, the output end of the data transfer module is electrically connected to the input end of the CPU, the output end of the data transfer module is electrically connected to a motion control module, and the input end of the motion control module is electrically connected to the output end of the administrator login module.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a multi-functional mining robot with the following advantages:

[0017] 1. This multi-functional mining robot, through the cooperation of its various modules, enables the power supply module within the power supply module to transmit power to the kinetic control module, scanning module, obstacle clearing module, and sampling and conveying module via the energy distribution module to perform terrain scanning inside the mine, and to collect and clear mud and sand inside the mine. This eliminates the need for manual surveying with measuring instruments when measuring the terrain inside the mine, allowing the robot to record and survey without relying on visual observation or tools after entering the mine, thus improving the safety of the workers and increasing surveying efficiency.

[0018] 2. This multi-functional mining robot uses a cleaning component to allow the extension rod, which is movably engaged with the connector, to slide within a matching circular groove. When the spherical joints approach each other, the obstacle-clearing block unfolds outward, clearing mud and sand from both sides. This prevents the mining robot from getting stuck when encountering gravel and mud during terrain scanning, thus assisting the mining robot, improving the integrity of the overall device, and further enhancing scanning efficiency. The sampling device collects mud and sand from the lower end of the outer arc surface of the collection plate, rolls the mud and sand into the auger, and after accumulation, it enters the conveying pipe. The screw conveyor inside the conveying pipe rolls the mud and sand into the collection box, avoiding manual entry for collection and improving the integrity and freshness of the initial sample.

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] Example 1;

[0029] Please see Figure 7As shown, this invention is a multi-functional mining robot. The chassis assembly 1 houses a central processing unit 16. The output of the central processing unit 16 is electrically connected to an administrator login module 17, whose output is electrically connected to the input of the central processing unit 16. The output of the central processing unit 16 is also electrically connected to a power supply module 18, a scanning module 19, whose output is electrically connected to the input of the central processing unit 16, a kinetic energy control module 20, a obstacle clearing module 21, whose output is electrically connected to the input of the central processing unit 16, and a sampling and conveying module 22. The sampling and conveying module 22... The output terminal is electrically connected to the input terminal of the central processing unit 16. The output terminal of the central processing unit 16 is electrically connected to the data storage module 23. The output terminal of the data storage module 23 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the central processing unit 16. The output terminal of the central processing unit 16 is electrically connected to the data transfer module 24. The output terminal of the data transfer module 24 is electrically connected to the input terminal of the central processing unit 16. The output terminal of the data transfer module 24 is electrically connected to the motion control module 25. The input terminal of the motion control module 25 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the administrator login module 17. The scanning module 19 includes a structured light scanning module and a data transmission module. The obstacle clearing module 21 includes a cleaning component and a data transceiver module. The sampling and conveying module 22 includes a transmission component and a data transceiver module. The kinetic energy control module 20 includes a power supply control module and a data receiving module.

[0030] The administrator registers their personal account and fingerprint information through the administrator login module 17. The administrator login module 17 then uploads the administrator information to the central processing unit 16. The central processing unit 16 then uploads the information to the personnel information verification module, which uses the personnel information comparison module to identify the personnel. After comparison, the login record is entered into the cloud transmission module, completing the login process. Simultaneously, the central processing unit 16 transmits signals to the power supply module 18, enabling the power module within 18 to distribute power to the kinetic control module 20, scanning module 19, obstacle removal module 21, and sampling and conveying module 22. Once power distribution is complete, the robot's internal motor drives the tracks 15, and the robot begins operation. Simultaneously, the central processing unit 16 transmits information to the scanning module 19, which uses a structured light scanning module to scan the interior of the mine. The scanned data is then transmitted back to the central processing unit 16 via the data transmission module. Furthermore, when the robot encounters gravel or mud during the scanning process, it uses a scanning mechanism to... The data transmission module of the scanning module 19 issues instructions to the obstacle clearing module 21 to clear obstacles in front. During the clearing process, the central processing unit 16 stops powering the control module. After the clearing is completed, it restarts the control module 20 to move it. At the same time, the central processing unit 16 transmits a signal to the sampling and conveying module 22, causing the conveying module in the sampling and conveying module 22 to start sampling the sand. At this time, the data scanned in the scanning module 19 is transmitted to the data storage module 23 through the central processing unit and stored. Then, the personnel information and scanned images are transmitted to the data transfer module 24, and the summarized information is transmitted to the motion control module. Through the cooperation of various modules, the need for manual surveying of the mine's internal topography is avoided. This allows the machine to enter the mine without relying on visual observation and tool measurement for recording and surveying, improving the safety of the staff and increasing the surveying efficiency.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5This invention relates to a multi-functional mining robot, comprising a frame assembly 1. A shovel frame 26 is fixedly mounted on both sides of the frame assembly 1. A bearing is movably engaged at one end of the shovel frame 26, and a shovel blade 2 is fixedly mounted at one end of the bearing. A rectangular groove 3 is formed on the lower surface of the shovel blade 2. Fixing plates 4 are fixedly mounted on both inner walls of the rectangular groove 3. A torsion spring 5 is fixedly mounted in the middle of the upper surface of the fixing plate 4. A rotating arm 6 is fixedly mounted at the top of the torsion spring 5. A clearing block 7 is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the rotating arm 6 by bolts. A connecting piece 8 is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the shovel frame 26 near the bearing. An extension rod 9 is movably engaged on the inner bottom wall of the connecting piece 8. A ball joint 10 is fixedly mounted at one end of the extension rod 9. A circular groove 11 is formed on one side surface of the clearing block 7, and the circular groove 11 is slidably engaged with the ball joint 10.

[0033] The kinetic control module 20 powers the electric push rod on the shovel frame 26, causing the shovel blade 2 to rise. At this time, the kinetic control module 20 stops supplying power to the track 15. Due to the upward lifting force, the extension rod 9, which is movably engaged with the connecting piece 8, begins to slide in the matching circular groove 11. When the ball joints 10 approach each other, the obstacle clearing block 7 unfolds outward to clear the mud and sand on both sides. At the same time, after the clearing is completed, the electric push rod retracts backward to reset the shovel blade 2 downward. At this time, the ball joints 10 move away from each other. Due to the absence of external force, the torsion spring 5 returns to its initial state, which will drive the obstacle clearing block 7 to move inward. The kinetic control module 20 then drives the track 15 forward to explore. The clearing component prevents the mining robot from getting stuck when encountering gravel and mud during terrain scanning, thus assisting the mining robot, improving the integrity of the overall device, and further improving scanning efficiency.

[0034] Example 3:

[0035] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6This invention relates to a multi-functional mining robot. A sampling device 12 is connected through the oblique edge of the front side of the frame assembly 1. The sampling device 12 includes a conveying pipe 1201. One end of the conveying pipe 1201 is connected through the interior of the frame assembly 1 and extends to the rear end of the frame assembly 1. The other end of the conveying pipe 1201 is connected through a collecting plate 1202. The bottom of the outer arc surface of the collecting plate 1202 is shovel-shaped, and a collecting auger 1203 is movably engaged with the inner arc surface of the collecting plate 1202. A screw conveyor 1204 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the conveying pipe 1201 via a motor. The frame assembly... A data collection box 1205 is fixedly installed in the middle of the back of the frame assembly 1. A screw conveyor 1204 is provided above the data collection box 1205 and is adapted to it. A geological scanner 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the upper surface of the frame assembly 1. A signal receiver is fixedly installed on the side of the upper surface of the frame assembly 1 near the geological scanner 13. Drive teeth 14 are fixedly installed on one side of both sides of the frame assembly 1 through an internal motor. A track 15 is connected to one side of the drive teeth 14 by meshing teeth. Guide wheels are movably connected to the other side of both sides of the frame assembly 1. The guide wheels are movably engaged with the track 15.

[0036] The central processing unit 16 sends a signal to the sampling and conveying module 22, which drives the motor to start the collecting auger 1203 in the collecting plate 1202. The lower end of the outer arc surface of the collecting plate 1202 collects the mud and sand, and rolls the mud and sand into the auger. After the mud and sand accumulate, it enters the conveying pipe 1201. The screw conveyor 1204 in the conveying pipe 1201 rolls the mud and sand into the collection box 1205. After the collection is completed, the kinetic energy control module 20 stops the sampling and conveying module 22. The sampling device 12 avoids the need for manual entry for collection, which improves the integrity and freshness of the initial sampling.
