Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of robots, and in particular relates to an all-terrain ball-footed robot capable of working in a fire scene. Background Art
[0002] With the development of urbanization and industrialization, the number of high-rise buildings, industrial plants and other buildings has increased rapidly. However, the fire protection issues of high-rise buildings, industrial plants and other buildings have gradually become a hidden danger threatening the safety of buildings, people's lives and property.
[0003] Regarding search and rescue and detection when a fire occurs in a building, the current equipment and solutions have the following problems: First, it is difficult to intervene with equipment: if the fire occurs at a high altitude in the building, the ground fire trucks are restricted in height and it is difficult to control the high-rise fire; if the fire is inside the building, it will be more difficult for the fire-fighting facilities outside the building to extinguish the fire; if wheeled, tracked or legged land robots are used to enter the fire scene, in addition to stairs, there are other obstacles such as fallen building materials in high-rise buildings, which will make it difficult for the land robots to move; second, the fire detection capabilities of firefighters are insufficient: if firefighters enter a building to put out a fire, they need to detect the fire source and the location of dangerous goods in the building, otherwise the lives of the firefighters entering the building will be threatened.
[0004] When it comes to search and rescue and detection during a factory fire, due to the complex factory environment and the possibility of flammable and explosive dangerous goods stored inside, if firefighters do not detect the fire situation and the placement of dangerous goods inside the factory before entering the fire scene, it will pose a threat to the lives of firefighters.
[0005] Existing equipment primarily relies on land-based robots to address these issues. However, these robots struggle to navigate terrain with numerous obstacles. Buildings and factories, often filled with numerous items, create a multi-obstacle environment, limiting their capabilities.
[0006] In summary, in view of the problem that existing robots have insufficient application capabilities in multiple obstacles, confined spaces and high temperature conditions, it is necessary to develop a robot system that has strong obstacle-crossing capabilities, can move freely in confined spaces and is resistant to high temperatures.

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementations obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0037] Example 1
[0038] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, an all-terrain spherical foot robot capable of working in a fire scene is provided, comprising:
[0039] The multi-axis rotor subsystem 2 uses a four-axis rotor solution as the robot's power source. By adjusting the rotor speed of each axis, the robot can move forward, backward, turn, ascend, and descend.
[0040] The spherical wheel foot 1 is wrapped around the outside of the high-temperature resistant multi-axis rotor subsystem 2 to achieve the motion isolation function of the robot;
[0041] The adiabatic heat exchange temperature control system, installed on the multi-axis rotor subsystem 2, is used to improve the robot's operational reliability in fire environments. This system utilizes a composite temperature control system that combines insulation and heat exchange. Insulation prevents heat from the fire environment from transferring to the robot's key structures and electronic components, while heat exchange ensures that heat generated by components within the robot, such as the motor, is absorbed during operation, preventing the robot's temperature from rising too high due to heat dissipation.
[0042] The all-terrain spherical-footed robot capable of operating in a fire scene adopts a multi-axis rotor subsystem 2 as a power source, and realizes the robot's forward, backward, turning, ascent and descent movements by adjusting the rotational speed of the rotors on each axis; at the same time, the outer side of the multi-axis rotor subsystem 2 is wrapped by a spherical wheel foot 1 with a motion isolation function; the combination of the multi-axis rotor subsystem 2 and the spherical wheel foot 1 with a motion isolation function enables the present invention to fly off the ground like a drone, and also has the ability to roll forward on the ground and walls, realizing an amphibious motion mode of flying in the air and moving on land, and having a stronger adaptability to narrow spaces and complex terrains.
[0043] At the same time, in order to ensure that the ball-foot robot can work reliably in a fire environment, a composite temperature control system of heat insulation and heat exchange is adopted to ensure that the working environment temperature of the electronic circuits, servo systems, payloads and other components on the robot is within its adaptable temperature range.
[0044] like Figure 5 As shown, the spherical wheel foot 1 comprises an outer frame 3, a middle frame 4, and an inner shaft 5. The outer frame 3 is a spherical structure used to enable the robot to roll forward on the ground and walls. The middle frame 4 is connected to the outer frame 3 via a motion isolation bearing 6I, enabling single-degree-of-freedom rotation between the two, forming a set of rotary motion pairs. The inner shaft 5 is mounted on the middle frame 4, and the multi-axis rotor subsystem 2 is connected to the inner shaft 5 via a spherical bearing 6II, enabling single-degree-of-freedom rotation and free motion along the axis normal to the rotation axis and within a range of ±15°. In other words, it forms a set of rotary motion pairs and a deflection motion pair intersecting the plane normal to the axis of the motion pair within a range of ±15°. The superposition of these multiple sets of degrees of freedom rotation ensures that the attitude movement of the high-temperature-resistant multi-axis rotor subsystem 2 is not affected by the attitude movement of the spherical wheel foot within a wide range.
[0045] like Figure 2 、 3 As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the outer frame 3 includes a number of spokes 7, connecting rings 8 and connecting pieces 9. There are three connecting rings 8, namely a disc connecting ring and a circular frame connecting ring. The disc connecting ring is arranged on one polar axis of the outer frame 3, and the circular frame connecting rings are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the other polar axis of the outer frame 3; the middle frame 4 is connected to the circular frame connecting ring through a pair of motion isolation bearings 6I; the spokes 7 are spherically arranged between the three connecting rings 8 to form the overall framework of the outer frame 3; the connecting piece 9 is installed at the intersection of two spokes 7.
[0046] like Figure 5 As shown, the middle frame 4 is a rod-shaped structure, and the inner shaft 5 is vertically connected to the middle of the middle frame 4 toward the side of the disc connecting ring.
[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, the multi-axis rotor subsystem 2 includes a power cabin assembly 14, a control cabin assembly 15, and an installation frame assembly; wherein, the installation frame assembly is a self-contained integral body, thereby fixing the entire high-temperature resistant multi-axis rotor subsystem into one, specifically, the installation frame assembly includes a connecting hoop 10, a suspension 11, a main cross arm 12 and a structural secondary reinforcement 13; the power cabin assembly 14 is installed on the connecting hoop 10, the control cabin assembly 15 is installed on the suspension 11, and the connecting hoop 10 is installed at the end of the main cross arm 12; the suspension 11 is installed on the inner side of the main cross arm 12; the structural secondary reinforcement 13 is connected to two adjacent connecting hoops 10.
[0048] like Figure 7As shown, there are four power pod assemblies 14, each comprising rotor blades 16, a transmission shaft system 17, a power motor 18, and a main body mounting base 19. Rotor blades 16 are connected to power motor 18 via transmission shaft system 17, providing pulling force when power motor 18 rotates. Power motor 18 is mounted on and fixedly connected to main body mounting base 19. Rotor blades 16, transmission shaft system 17, and power motor 18 form the entire power system, providing pulling force for robot movement.
[0049] The adiabatic heat exchange temperature control system includes a cold source storage chamber 20, a heat exchange system 21, an inner enclosure 22, a thermal insulation layer 23, an outer enclosure 24 and a hatch 25, which ensures a tolerable working environment temperature for the power system;
[0050] The outside of the power compartment assembly 14 is provided with a heat insulation heat exchange temperature control system. Specifically, the other side of the main body mounting seat 19 is connected to the cold source storage chamber 20. One end of the heat exchange system 21 is connected to the cold source storage chamber 20, and the other end is surrounded by the power motor 18. During the working process, the cold source storage chamber 20 is filled with a cold source medium (such as solid carbon dioxide) to achieve heat exchange between the cold source storage chamber 20 and the heat emitted by the power motor 18, thereby ensuring that the power motor 18 does not shut down due to overheating; the inner envelope 22 is wrapped around the power motor 1 8. The main body mounting seat 19 and the outside of the cold source storage chamber 20, that is, the inner envelope 22 is wrapped around the outside of the power cabin assembly 14, except for the rotor blades 16; the outer envelope 24 and the inner envelope 22 are filled with insulation material to form an insulation layer 23 located between the outer envelope 24 and the inner envelope 22, which is used to reduce the high temperature of the external environment from being transferred into the cabin; the hatch 25 is openable and closable and is sealed on the top of the cold source storage chamber 20. By opening the hatch 25, a cold source, such as solid carbon dioxide, can be injected into the cold source storage chamber 20 when the robot is in use.
[0051] At this point, the entire power compartment assembly 14 forms a fully enclosed whole with external insulation, internal cold source heat exchange, and a power output. The robot has four power compartment assemblies 14 to provide the power required for the robot to move.
[0052] like Figure 8 As shown, the control cabin assembly 15 includes an electrical module, which includes a wireless communication antenna 26, an inertial measurement element 27, a flight control computer 28, a power supply 29, an electronic speed regulator 30, a GPS 31, an image detector 32, and other circuit hardware; the image detector 32 is electrically connected to the wireless communication antenna 26, the inertial measurement element 27 is electrically connected to the flight control computer 28, and the flight control computer 28 is electrically connected to the wireless communication antenna 26, the power motor 18 and the electronic speed regulator 30; the power supply 29 is electrically connected to the power motor 18, the inertial measurement element 27, the flight control computer 28, the image detector 32, the GPS 31, and the electronic speed regulator 30.
[0053] The wireless communication antenna 26 transmits image information detected by the robot to a ground station. The inertial measurement unit 27 measures the robot's acceleration and angular velocity during motion and transmits these to the flight control computer 28. The flight control computer 28 receives the robot's motion information from the inertial measurement unit 27 and, via the wireless communication antenna 26, receives control commands from the ground station. Based on these commands and the robot's motion information, it calculates control commands for the motor and electronic speed controller 30, controlling the rotor speed and direction. The image detector 32 is capable of imaging objects of varying temperatures, enabling the robot to detect burning materials at varying temperatures and providing critical information such as fire source identification. The power supply 29 provides power to the robot's motors, the inertial measurement unit in the control cabin, the flight control computer, and other components.
[0054] The control cabin assembly 15 is also equipped with an insulation and heat exchange temperature control system to ensure that the electrical modules can withstand the operating environment temperature. Specifically, an inner enclosure 22 is provided on the outside of the control cabin assembly 15, and an outer enclosure 24 is provided on the outside of the inner enclosure 22. Insulation material is filled between the outer enclosure 24 and the inner enclosure 22 to form an insulation layer 23, which is used to reduce the transmission of high temperature from the external environment into the cabin. Finally, the hatch 25 is installed and tightened. A cold source storage chamber 20 is provided near the top of the control cabin assembly 15. One end of the heat exchange system 21 is connected to the cold source storage chamber 20, and the other end extends into the various gaps inside the control cabin assembly 15, thereby forming a structure surrounding the various gaps inside the control cabin assembly. During operation, the cold source storage chamber 20 is filled with a cold source medium (such as solid carbon dioxide) to achieve heat exchange between the cold source storage chamber 20 and the heat emitted by the electronic components in the cabin, ensuring that the electronic components do not shut down due to overheating. A retractable hatch 25 covers the top of the cold source storage chamber 20. By opening hatch 25, a cold source, such as solid carbon dioxide, can be injected into the cold source storage chamber 20 during robot operation. The entire control cabin assembly 15 now forms a fully enclosed structure with external insulation and internal heat exchange for the cold source, ensuring a consistent operating temperature for all electronic components.
[0055] Independent cooling systems are respectively provided in the power cabin and the control cabin to reduce the integral correlation and further enhance the risk-resistance thereof. That is, in the event of accidental distress, the entire machine will not be unable to operate due to a failure of a certain unit.
[0056] The thermal insulation system uses insulating material to wrap the multi-axis rotor subsystem 2, excluding the rotors, to form a closed thermal insulation layer (inner and outer encapsulation, as well as the insulation layer). This reduces the transfer of high-temperature heat energy from the fire environment to the robot's interior. The heat exchange system, located within the robot, uses a low-temperature cooling source as the low-temperature portion of the heat exchange. This heat is exchanged via heat pipes with components that generate heat during operation, such as the motor, electronic speed controller, battery, and circuit elements. This reduces the temperature of these components, preventing them from overheating and causing them to malfunction.
[0057] Furthermore, the image detector 32 is a dual-mode camera of white light and infrared, which enables the robot to detect burning objects of different temperatures and is used to determine key information such as the source of the fire.
[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, the working process of the ball-foot robot is as follows:
[0059] Step 1: After arriving near the fire scene, the operator opens the robot's power hatch 25 and control hatch 25, adds a cold source medium (including but not limited to solid carbon dioxide, etc.) into its cold source storage chamber 20, and then closes each hatch 25;
[0060] Step 2: Release the robot and remotely control it into the fire scene via wireless data link;
[0061] Step 3: When the robot is moving on a relatively flat ground or the slope of the obstacle is not steep, it rolls forward on the spherical wheel feet 1, and the multi-axis rotor subsystem 2 provides forward power;
[0062] Step 4: When the robot encounters a high obstacle or a steep slope during its movement, it relies on the multi-axis rotor subsystem 2 to generate lift to fly over the obstacle;
[0063] Step 5: During the robot's movement, the ground station sends motion control instructions to the robot via a wireless data link. The robot receives the control instructions from the ground station via the wireless communication antenna 26 and moves according to the control instructions. The robot detects the internal environment of the fire scene via the image detector 32 it carries and transmits the image information back to the ground station via the wireless communication antenna 26.
[0064] Step 6: After completing the survey of the fire scene environment, the robot returns.
