Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical industrial park inspection technology, specifically a chemical industrial park safety inspection robot. Background Technology
[0002] The chemical industry plays a pivotal role in the national economy and is closely intertwined with it. Developing the chemical industry is an indispensable prerequisite and guarantee for the efficient and stable development of the national economy. However, due to the industry's unique and hazardous nature, the chemical industry also presents numerous safety challenges, necessitating regular inspections of chemical industrial parks to ensure safety.
[0003] A crucial aspect of inspecting chemical industrial parks is detecting the presence of hazardous gas leaks. However, when inspections are conducted manually with the equipment, workers inevitably inhale these gases, posing a significant health risk. Furthermore, the system cannot automatically sample hazardous gases after detection, hindering subsequent detailed analysis.

Multiple inner partitions are fixedly installed inside the storage component, dividing the storage component into multiple storage compartments. An inner control valve is fixedly installed on the inner inlet pipe at the position corresponding to each group of storage compartments.

[0009] Preferably, an upper connecting plate is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the robot body, a rotating seat is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the upper connecting plate, an upper inspection component is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the rotating seat, a side inspection component is fixedly mounted on one side of the rotating seat, a drive rod is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the upper connecting plate, a drive gear is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the drive rod, a driven gear is fixedly mounted on the rotating seat, and the drive gear meshes with the driven gear.
[0010] Preferably, threaded rods are rotatably installed on both sides of the transition tube inside the robot body. A movable mounting plate is threadedly connected to the threaded rod. A limit plate is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the movable mounting plate. The lower surface of the limit plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the robot body. Slide grooves are opened on both sides of the robot body. The movable mounting plate is slidably connected to the slide groove and one end extends into the robot body. A side scanning component is fixedly installed on the end of the movable mounting plate that extends outside the robot body.
[0011] Preferably, both ends of the threaded rod extend outside the robot body and are fixedly mounted with side gears, and both ends of the transition tube are rotatably mounted with transition gear rings, which mesh with the side gears.
[0012] Preferably, a connecting rod is rotatably mounted on the lower surface of the robot body, and a lower gear is fixedly mounted on both ends of the connecting rod. The lower gear meshes with the transition gear ring. A drive motor is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the robot body, and the drive motor can drive the connecting rod to rotate.
[0013] Preferably, a drive seat is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the robot body, and a self-locking wheel is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the drive seat. The drive seat is an electric lifting seat.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0016] 1. In this invention, a drive seat moves the robot body within the chemical industrial park. During the robot's movement, the drive rod rotates, causing the drive gear to rotate. The drive gear then rotates the driven gear, which in turn rotates the rotating seat. This rotation causes the upper and side scanning components to rotate, allowing them to rotate on the upper surface of the robot body. This enables the upper and side scanning components to scan the chemical industrial park more comprehensively as the robot moves. Simultaneously, the side scanning component moves back and forth within a chute along with the movable mounting plate, allowing it to scan the bottom view that the upper and side scanning components cannot reach. This fills in the blind spots of the upper and side scanning components, increasing the robot's scanning range. Furthermore, sensors detect gases within the park, avoiding the risk of inhaling harmful gases during manual inspections and improving the safety of chemical industrial park inspections.
[0017] 2. In this invention, during scanning, air from the park enters the transition pipe from one end via a ventilation fan. The sensor on the mounting bracket detects harmful gases in the air. Upon detection of harmful gases, the gas flows into the collection unit, and the upper control valve opens, allowing some of the harmful gas to enter the upper connecting pipe. From there, it flows into the inner inlet pipe and into the storage chamber. Multiple storage chambers are provided, and by controlling the opening and closing of the inner control valve, gas samples are sequentially stored in different storage chambers. This allows for automatic sampling of harmful gases, facilitating detailed subsequent detection of leaked gases within the park. Attached Figure Description

The drive gear 27 meshes with the internal gear ring 25. The mounting bracket 28 is rotatably connected to the mounting shaft 24.
[0032] The upper connecting plate 2 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the robot body 1. A rotating seat 12 is rotatably installed on the upper surface of the upper connecting plate 2. An upper inspection component 5 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the rotating seat 12. A side inspection component 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the rotating seat 12.

A driven gear 7 is fixedly installed on the rotating seat 12. The drive gear 4 meshes with the driven gear 7.
[0033] In this robot body 1, threaded rods 18 are rotatably installed on both sides of the transition tube 8. A movable mounting plate 16 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 18. A limit plate 17 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the movable mounting plate 16. The lower surface of the limit plate 17 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the robot body 1. A sliding groove 11 is opened on both sides of the robot body 1. The movable mounting plate 16 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 11 and one end extends to the robot body 1. A side scanning component 10 is fixedly installed on the end of the movable mounting plate 16 that extends outside the robot body 1.
[0034] Both ends of the threaded rod 18 extend to the outside of the robot body 1 and are fixedly mounted with side gears 14. Both ends of the transition tube 8 are rotatably mounted with transition gear rings 13, which mesh with the side gears 14.
[0035] The lower surface of the robot body 1 is rotatably mounted with a connecting rod 20. Both ends of the connecting rod 20 are fixedly mounted with a lower gear 15, which meshes with the transition gear ring 13.

The driven gear 7 rotates, causing the rotating seat 12 to rotate. The rotating seat 12 rotates, causing the upper inspection component 5 and the side inspection component 6 to rotate. This allows the upper inspection component 5 and the side inspection component 6 to rotate on the upper surface of the robot body 1, enabling them to scan the chemical industrial park more comprehensively as the robot body 1 moves. At the same time, the side scanning component 10 moves back and forth in the slide groove 11 with the movable mounting plate 16, allowing it to scan the bottom field of view that the upper inspection component 5 and the side inspection component 6 cannot scan, supplementing the scanning blind spots of the upper inspection component 5 and the side inspection component 6 and improving the robot's scanning range. Meanwhile, the sensor 29 detects the gas in the park, avoiding the problem of manual inspection being prone to inhaling harmful gases and improving the safety of chemical industrial park inspection.
[0039] In this invention, during scanning, a micro motor drives the mounting shaft 24 to rotate (the micro motor drives the internal gear ring 25 to rotate, the internal gear ring 25 rotates, which in turn drives the drive gear 27 to rotate, and the drive gear 27 rotates through the transmission component 30 to drive the mounting shaft 24 to rotate). The rotation of the mounting shaft 24 drives the ventilation fan 23 to rotate. The ventilation fan 23 drives the air in the park to enter the transition pipe 8 from one end of the transition pipe 8. The air flows through the mounting frame 28, and the sensor 29 on the mounting frame 28 detects harmful gases in the air. After detecting the presence of harmful gases, when the gas flows into the collection component 34, the upper control valve 33 is opened, allowing some of the harmful gases to enter the upper connecting pipe 32. Then, the harmful gases flow into the inner inlet pipe 22 through the upper connecting pipe 32. During the initial inlet, the inner control valve 31 is fully opened, allowing the harmful gases to be directly introduced into the storage chamber farthest from the upper connecting pipe 32. Multiple storage chambers are provided. By controlling the opening and closing of the inner control valve 31, the gas samples are sequentially stored in different storage chambers, which can automatically sample harmful gases and facilitate detailed detection of leaked gases in the park later.
