Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of environmental monitoring technology, and in particular to an environmental monitoring and inspection robot. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the Ministry of Ecology and Environment has issued the "2021-2025 Ecological and Environmental Monitoring Plan," which proposes to further strengthen ecological civilization construction by consolidating environmental quality monitoring, strengthening pollution source monitoring, expanding ecological quality monitoring, and comprehensively promoting the transformation of ecological and environmental monitoring from a quantity- and scale-oriented model to a quality- and efficiency-oriented model, thereby improving the modernization level of ecological and environmental monitoring.

[0003] Environmental monitoring and management are key tasks for environmental protection departments at all levels. This includes monitoring industrial pollution sources and monitoring environmental quality such as air, surface water, acid rain, noise, and radiation. In the past, monitoring and management methods mainly relied on manual and wired methods, which could not meet the requirements of digital and grid-based environmental management. At present, industrial enterprises have heavy production tasks and the production environment monitoring data is growing larger and larger. The significance of remote real-time monitoring is becoming more prominent. Therefore, it is imperative to establish new environmental data supervision measures for industrial enterprises.

[0004] With the widespread and in-depth application of artificial intelligence and internet technology, science and technology are innovating, and intelligent production is driving progress. The country is also constantly putting forward new requirements for the production environment of industrial enterprises. Establishing an intelligent monitoring and management system for enterprise environmental quality monitoring and safe production plays a positive role in promoting the disclosure of environmental information, stimulating public participation in environmental protection, and promoting the intelligent and refined supervision of environmental protection departments. In the traditional sense, most ecological environment monitoring and management are carried out by manual labor, which is not only inefficient but also results in harsh working environments and extremely high work intensity. In addition, there are problems such as insufficient monitoring personnel's means and capabilities, leading to a variety of environmental problems.

[0039] Furthermore, a water pump is installed inside the water tank 4201, and the outlet of the water pump is connected to the water supply pipe 4202.

[0040] A U-shaped box 420 is fixedly installed through the partition cover 411. The side of the U-shaped box 420 near the flexible annular belt 414 is open.

[0045] The infrared thermal imager 12 has a maximum resolution of 640×480, a temperature measurement accuracy of ±2℃ or ±2% of the reading, and supports functions such as real-time point temperature measurement, multiple preset point temperature measurement, temperature alarm, and real-time temperature analysis.

[0046] The monitoring rotation module 2 consists of two high-precision stepper motors, which can rotate freely 360° in the left and right direction and -20° to +90° in the up and down direction to acquire visible light and infrared images.

[0047] The noise detection module 10 is an industrial-grade capacitive noise sensor.

[0048] The wireless communication module 19 is a dual-mode wireless bridge for both AP and client applications, supporting 2.4GHz and 5GHz dual-band frequencies and featuring wireless roaming functionality.

[0049] Obstacle avoidance sensor 8 is an ultrasonic radar.

[0050] The RTK positioning module 20 is equipped with a Beidou high-precision GNSS board, which can perform single-system positioning or multi-system joint positioning. It supports the joint application of B3DS+GPS+GLONASS+Galileo, which can increase the number of satellites and improve the availability and reliability of GNSS high-precision positioning, and can also accurately locate in areas with high obstruction.

[0051] LED lighting module 21 is an automatic control LED lighting and turn indicator module. It can automatically turn on and off the white LED lights according to the ambient light conditions, and automatically turn on the corresponding yellow LED lights to flash according to the actual turn.

[0052] Gas detection module 11 is a multi-parameter environmental monitoring module.

[0053] In this embodiment: The inspection task is set remotely in the background. The instructions are sent to the central processing unit (CPU) 17 via the factory's WIFI network and wireless communication module 19. The CPU 17 then sends control instructions to the navigation controller 14. The navigation controller 14 uses a 3D LiDAR sensor, RTK positioning module 20, vision sensor 5, etc., and a navigation algorithm to control the steering motor 7 and wheel hub motor 15 via the driver 6 for precise positioning and navigation based on the existing map and inspection point coordinates. After reaching the inspection point, the CPU 17 sends detection instructions to the noise detection module 10 and the gas detection module 11. After detection, the noise detection module 10 and the gas detection module 11 upload the data to the CPU 17. The CPU 17 compares the data with the set warning value. When the warning value is exceeded, the CPU 17 controls the voice playback module 13 to issue an alarm signal and sends control instructions to the two stepper motors with absolute encoders in the monitoring rotation module 2 to perform all-round visible light and infrared image acquisition. The CPU 17 uses a vision algorithm to intelligently analyze and determine which equipment produces excessive harmful gases during operation. The results are pushed to the background in real time via the wireless communication module 19 to remind the relevant equipment to be shut down.

[0054] During the inspection, the central processing unit 17 of the robot will intelligently analyze the collected images. If it finds smoke, fire, abnormal equipment status, or violations such as not wearing a safety helmet in the collected images, it will immediately control the voice playback module 13 to issue an alarm signal and report the information to the background management system through the wireless communication module 19, and issue an alarm notification to the management personnel for handling.

[0055] This solution enables human-computer interaction via a touchscreen display 18. Clicking different buttons accesses different functional interfaces. For example, clicking the "Real-time Data" button leads to the real-time data display interface, where data is transmitted to the central processing unit 17 via the noise detection module 10 and the gas detection module 11. The central processing unit 17 then graphically displays various air quality data on the touchscreen display 18. Clicking the "Historical Data" button leads to the historical data display interface, where the central processing unit 17 retrieves its stored historical data and displays it graphically on the touchscreen display 18. Clicking the "Data to Cloud" button leads to the cloud platform data upload settings interface. Through the set address and protocol, the central processing unit 17, via the wireless communication module 19, transmits the monitored data in real-time to the ecological environment bureau's backend system via the network, enabling the ecological environment bureau to monitor and control the environmental quality of various industrial enterprises within its jurisdiction online.

[0056] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 12 As shown, when the concentration of smoke and dust in the air is high or on rainy days, starting motor 415 drives one of the guide rollers 413 to rotate clockwise. This guide roller 413 then drives the flexible annular belt 414 to rotate clockwise. The dirt that originally passed through the observation port 412 and adhered to the flexible annular belt 414 will move from right to left with the rotating flexible annular belt 414. During this process, the water pump located in the water tank 4201 is started to pump the clean water in the water tank 4201 into the water supply pipe 4202 and through the water supply pipe 4 22 is injected into the cleaning roller 419. Then, clean water is sprayed onto the flexible annular belt 414 through the spray holes 4195 facing the flexible annular belt 414. During this process, the drain pipe 421 is activated to drive the cleaning roller 419 to rotate through the drive shaft 4191. The rotating spiral scrapers 4193 can scrape off the dirt that has been softened by clean water and is attached to the flexible annular belt 414. The dirt scraped off by the spiral scrapers 4193 will flow down the spiral plate 4192 and finally be discharged through the drain pipe 421.

[0057] As the cleaning section of the flexible annular belt 414 moves from right to left, the vertical scraper 4182 scrapes the flexible annular belt 414, removing water droplets splashed on it. During the operation of the high-definition camera 3, multiple fans 432 are activated. At this time, external cold air enters the high-definition camera 3 through the heat dissipation inlet 31 and carries away the heat generated during operation, which is then discharged through the heat dissipation outlet 32. The hot air then passes through multiple fans 432 and is blown into the U-shaped box 420 through the fans 432 and the air supply pipe 434, and finally exits from the top of the U-shaped box 420. As hot air flows through the U-shaped box 420, it can heat the flexible annular belt 414, drying the damp parts of the belt. Therefore, during the continuous clockwise rotation of the flexible annular belt 414, not only are the dirty parts cleaned, but the cleaned parts also move from right to left to be exposed at the observation port 412, ensuring that the shooting effect of the high-definition camera 3 is not affected by dirt. Furthermore, the cleaning process of the flexible annular belt 414 does not obstruct the shooting angle of the high-definition camera 3.

[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
