Description

An airport runway pavement safety inspection robot Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of safety inspection technology, specifically an airport runway pavement safety inspection robot. Background Technology

[0002] An airport runway is a long, narrow area within an airport used to supply aircraft for takeoff and landing. It is made of materials such as asphalt or concrete and requires regular inspection and maintenance, as well as cleaning, to prevent cracks or debris such as screws left behind during aircraft maintenance from affecting takeoff and landing.

[0003] A patent application with publication number CN110409266B discloses an airport runway pavement safety inspection robot. The robot uses a traveling mechanism to drive a cleaning mechanism, a collection mechanism, and an observation mechanism to move on the pavement.

The transmission column rotates with the lower end of the vehicle body. A second bevel gear is fixedly connected to the lower end of the transmission column, and the second bevel gear is meshed with the first bevel gear.

[0013] Preferably, a support column is fixedly connected inside the first bevel gear, and drive wheels are fixedly connected to both ends of the support column. The drive wheels are connected to a pulley via belt drive, and a cleaning component is provided at one end of the pulley.

[0014] Preferably, the cleaning assembly includes a fixed column installed on one side of the pulley, a support plate fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed column, a plurality of storage columns fixedly connected to the outside of the support plate, a storage groove provided inside the storage column, a tension spring fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage groove, and a T-shaped sliding column fixedly connected to the end of the tension spring away from the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage groove.

[0015] Preferably, a sliding plate is fixedly connected to the end of the T-shaped sliding column away from the tension spring. A brush is provided on the outside of the sliding plate, and a strong magnet is provided inside the sliding plate. A cylinder is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed column, and the sliding plate slides inside the cylinder. A collection box is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the vehicle body, and one end of the inlet of the collection box is close to the cylinder.

[0016] Preferably, a semi-circular protective cover is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the vehicle body, a support cylinder is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the semi-circular protective cover, a fixed column is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the support cylinder, and an eccentric block is fixedly connected to the outside of the support cylinder.

[0017] Preferably, a fixed frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vehicle body, a vacuum cleaner is installed in the inner cavity of the fixed frame, the suction port of the vacuum cleaner is fixedly connected to a diversion pipe, and the end of the diversion pipe away from the vacuum cleaner is fixedly connected to a dust collection box and connected to the inner cavity of the semi-circular protective cover.

[0018] Preferably, a conduit is provided on one side of the lower end face of the vehicle body, and a spray head is rotatably connected to the lower end of the conduit. A water storage tank is installed on one side of the upper end of the vehicle body, and the inner cavity of the water storage tank is connected to the conduit.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0020] 1. The airport runway pavement safety inspection robot of the present invention uses remote control to drive the vehicle body to move on the airport runway via drive wheels. During the movement, the drive wheels drive the transmission shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the intermittent gear to rotate. The intermittent gear then rotates the transmission disc, which in turn drives the L-shaped support frame to rotate. This, in turn, drives the monitoring probe to swing. At the same time, the monitoring probe monitors and scans the airport runway to observe whether there are any objects such as garbage or stones, so as to avoid the impact of uncleaned objects on the safety of aircraft landing. When the teeth of the intermittent gear disengage from the gear column, the rotating component drives the monitoring probe to rotate back, thereby monitoring and scanning the airport runway again, increasing the monitoring and scanning range of the monitoring probe, and enabling it to perform safety inspections of the entire airport runway more quickly.

[0021] 2. The airport runway pavement safety inspection robot of the present invention, during the movement of the vehicle body, drives the pulley to rotate via the drive wheel transmission belt, which in turn rotates the fixed column and the support plate, thereby driving the storage column to rotate. Then, the storage column, in conjunction with the T-shaped sliding column, drives the slide plate to rotate. During the rotation of the slide plate, the slide plate uses brushes to sweep dust, stones, and screws from the airport runway surface and puts them into the inner cavity of the semi-circular protective cover. As the slide plate rotates in conjunction with the cylinder, the dust and stones are transported to the top of the semi-circular protective cover, where a vacuum cleaner draws the dust into the inner cavity of the dust collection box. This achieves the cleaning of dust, stones, screws, and other objects from the airport runway pavement during the safety inspection process.

[0022] 3. The airport runway pavement safety inspection robot of the present invention, when the slide plate and cylinder rotate to the eccentric position of the eccentric block, pulls the T-shaped sliding column through the tension spring in the inner cavity of the collection slot, and causes the T-shaped sliding column to pull the slide plate to slide inside the cylinder. At the same time, the cylinder scrapes off the screws adsorbed on the outside of the slide plate, thereby demagnetizing the screws from the strong magnet inside the slide plate, and causing the stones and screws to fall into the inner cavity of the collection box for storage, thus avoiding the presence of stones, screws and other objects on the airport runway, which could cause safety hazards to the aircraft wheels when the aircraft lands.

[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, 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, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-8. This invention provides a technical solution:

[0035] An airport runway pavement safety inspection robot includes a vehicle body 1, a drive wheel 2 is provided on the lower end face of the vehicle body 1, a fixed cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper end face of the vehicle body 1, and a rotary component is provided in the inner cavity of the fixed cylinder 8.

[0036] Its rotating assembly includes a cylinder 20 that rotates in the inner cavity of the fixed cylinder 8. A fixed disk 19 is fixedly connected to the outside of the cylinder 20. A torsion spring 21 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the fixed disk 19, and the end of the torsion spring 21 away from the fixed disk 19 is fixedly connected to the fixed cylinder 8.

[0037] An L-shaped support frame 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the cylinder 20, and a monitoring probe 10 is fixedly connected to the end of the L-shaped support frame 9 away from the cylinder 20.

[0038] Specifically, existing technology uses two monitoring probes to inspect the runway surface for foreign objects such as stones and screws, preventing them from affecting aircraft takeoff and landing safety. However, only one of the two monitoring probes is driven by a motor to rotate and inspect the runway. Moreover, the rotating probe is located at the top of the robot, which cannot effectively inspect the runway surface. This setup still makes it difficult to detect some foreign objects. The monitoring probe at the bottom of the robot cannot rotate and can only inspect the runway surface as the robot moves.

[0039] This invention uses an externally remotely controlled drive wheel 2 to move the vehicle body 1 on the airport runway. During the movement, the drive wheel 2 drives the cylinder 20 to rotate clockwise, causing the cylinder 20 to swing the L-shaped support frame 9 clockwise, which in turn causes the monitoring probe 10 to swing clockwise. The monitoring probe 10 then monitors and scans the airport runway. When the cylinder 20 disengages from the drive wheel 2, the torsion spring 21 in the inner cavity of the fixed cylinder 8 quickly twists the fixed plate 19 to reset. During the reset process, the fixed plate 19 simultaneously drives the cylinder 20 to rotate counterclockwise, causing the cylinder 20 to rotate counterclockwise, which in turn drives the L-shaped support frame 9 to rotate, which in turn causes the monitoring probe 10 to rotate back, thus enabling the monitoring probe 10 to scan the airport runway again. This increases the monitoring and scanning range of the monitoring probe 10, allowing it to perform safety inspections of the entire airport runway more quickly. This solves the problem that a rotating monitoring probe located at the top of the robot cannot effectively detect the airport runway surface, and such a setup still makes it difficult to detect some foreign objects.

[0040] As shown in Figures 1, 3 and 4, a transmission groove 25 is provided on one side of the vehicle body 1. A transmission disc 22 is fixedly connected to one end of the cylinder 20 located in the inner cavity of the transmission groove 25, and toothed columns 28 are uniformly fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission disc 22.

[0041] Specifically, by cooperating with the gear column 28 to drive the transmission disk 22 to rotate, the transmission disk 22 drives the cylinder 20 to rotate in the inner cavity of the transmission groove 25, which in turn facilitates the cylinder 20 to drive the L-shaped support frame 9 to swing clockwise, while driving the monitoring probe 10 to swing, and then using the monitoring probe 10 to monitor and scan the airport runway.

[0042] As shown in Figures 1, 3 and 4, a transmission shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the transmission groove 25. An intermittent gear 23 and a driven bevel gear 26 are fixedly connected to the outside of the transmission shaft 24. The intermittent gear 23 is connected to the transmission disk 22 through a toothed column 28.

[0043] Specifically, during the process of the driven bevel gear 26 driving the transmission shaft 24 to rotate, the transmission shaft 24 drives the intermittent gear 23 to cooperate with the gear column 28 to drive the transmission disk 22 to rotate, thereby causing the transmission disk 22 to drive the cylinder 20 to rotate in the inner cavity of the transmission groove 25. This facilitates the cylinder 20 to drive the L-shaped support frame 9 to swing clockwise, while simultaneously driving the monitoring probe 10 to swing. Then, the monitoring probe 10 is used to monitor and scan the airport runway.

[0044] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the driven bevel gear 26 is meshed with the transmission bevel gear 27. The end of the transmission bevel gear 27 away from the driven bevel gear 26 is fixedly connected to the transmission column 14, and the transmission column 14 rotates with the lower end of the vehicle body 1. The lower end of the transmission column 14 is fixedly connected to the second bevel gear 13, and the second bevel gear 13 is meshed with the first bevel gear 12.

[0045] Specifically, during the movement, the drive wheel 2 rotates the support column 11, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 13 to rotate. Simultaneously, the second bevel gear 13 rotates the transmission column 14, which in turn drives the transmission bevel gear 27 to rotate. This drives the driven bevel gear 26, which in turn rotates the transmission shaft 24. The transmission shaft 24 then drives the intermittent gear 23 to cooperate with the gear column 28 to drive the transmission disk 22 to rotate. This causes the transmission disk 22 to drive the cylinder 20 to rotate in the inner cavity of the transmission groove 25. This allows the cylinder 20 to drive the L-shaped support frame 9 to swing clockwise, while simultaneously causing the monitoring probe 10 to swing. The monitoring probe 10 is then used to monitor and scan the airport runway.

[0046] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, a support column 11 is fixedly connected inside the first bevel gear 12. The two ends of the support column 11 are fixedly connected to the drive wheel 2. The drive wheel 2 is connected to the pulley 15 through the belt 16. A cleaning component is provided at one end of the pulley 15.

[0047] Specifically, during the movement of the vehicle body 1, the drive wheel 2 drives the support column 11 to rotate, which in turn causes the support column 11 to drive the pulley 15 to rotate via the transmission belt 16. The pulley 15 then rotates to move the cleaning assembly to clean the airport runway, thereby improving the robot's practicality.

[0048] As shown in Figures 1 and 6, the cleaning assembly includes a fixed post 32 installed on one side of the pulley 15. A support plate 33 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed post 32. Several storage posts 35 are fixedly connected to the outside of the support plate 33. A storage groove 36 is provided inside the storage post 35. A tension spring 37 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage groove 36. A T-shaped sliding post 34 is fixedly connected to the end of the tension spring 37 away from the bottom of the inner cavity of the storage groove 36.

[0049] Specifically, during the movement of the vehicle body 1, the drive wheel 2 drives the support column 11 to rotate, which in turn causes the drive belt 16 of the support column 11 to drive the pulley 15 to rotate, and the pulley 15 to rotate the fixed column 32. At the same time, the fixed column 32 rotates the support plate 33, which in turn drives the storage column 35 to rotate. Then, the storage column 35, in conjunction with the T-shaped sliding column 34, drives the sliding plate 29 to rotate. During the rotation, the sliding plate 29 cleans the dust, stones and screws on the surface of the airport runway.

[0050] As shown in Figures 1 and 5 to 7, a slide plate 29 is fixedly connected to the end of the T-shaped sliding column 34 away from the tension spring 37. A brush is provided on the outside of the slide plate 29, and a strong magnet 40 is provided inside the slide plate 29. A cylinder 30 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed column 32, and the slide plate 29 slides inside the cylinder 30. A collection box 17 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the vehicle body 1, and one end of the inlet of the collection box 17 is close to the cylinder 30.

[0051] Specifically, during the movement of the vehicle body 1, the drive wheel 2 drives the support column 11 to rotate, which in turn causes the drive belt 16 of the support column 11 to drive the pulley 15 to rotate, and the pulley 15 to rotate the fixed column 32. At the same time, the fixed column 32 rotates the support plate 33, which in turn drives the storage column 35 to rotate. Then, the storage column 35, in conjunction with the T-shaped sliding column 34, drives the sliding plate 29 to rotate. During the rotation of the sliding plate 29, since the sliding plate 29 is equipped with a brush on its exterior, the sliding plate 29 uses the brush to clean the dust, stones and screws on the surface of the airport runway.

[0052] As shown in Figures 2 and 5 to 7, a semi-circular protective cover 18 is fixedly connected to the lower end face of the vehicle body 1. A support cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner cavity of the semi-circular protective cover 18. A fixed column 32 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the support cylinder 41. An eccentric block 31 is fixedly connected to the outside of the support cylinder 41.

[0053] Specifically, when the slide plate 29 and cylinder 30 rotate to the eccentric position of the eccentric block 31, the tension spring 37 in the inner cavity of the storage groove 36 pulls the T-shaped sliding column 34, causing the T-shaped sliding column 34 to pull the slide plate 29 to slide inside the cylinder 30. At the same time, the cylinder 30 scrapes off the screws adsorbed on the outside of the slide plate 29, thereby demagnetizing the screws from the strong magnet 40 inside the slide plate 29, and causing the stones and screws to fall into the inner cavity of the collection box 17 for storage, thus preventing the presence of stones, screws, and other objects on the airport runway, which could pose a safety hazard to the aircraft's landing gear during landing. Meanwhile, during the movement of the vehicle body 1, clean water in the water tank 7 is extracted by using the spray head 38 in conjunction with the conduit 39, and then sprayed on the airport runway surface, thereby improving the cleanliness of the airport runway and avoiding the trouble of manual mopping.

[0054] As shown in Figures 1 and 8, a fixed frame 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vehicle body 1. A vacuum cleaner 5 is installed in the inner cavity of the fixed frame 4. The suction port of the vacuum cleaner 5 is fixedly connected to a diversion pipe 6, and the end of the diversion pipe 6 away from the vacuum cleaner 5 is fixedly connected to the dust collection box 3 and connected to the inner cavity of the semi-circular protective cover 18.

[0055] Specifically, during the rotation of the slide plate 29, the brushes on the outside of the slide plate 29 clean the dust, stones, and screws on the airport runway surface and send them into the inner cavity of the semi-circular protective cover 18. As the slide plate 29 rotates in conjunction with the cylinder 30, the dust and stones are transported to the top of the semi-circular protective cover 18, where the vacuum cleaner 5 uses the diversion pipe 6 to draw the dust into the inner cavity of the dust collection box 3. This achieves the cleaning of dust, stones, screws, and other objects on the airport runway surface during the safety inspection of the airport runway surface.

[0056] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, a conduit 39 is provided on one side of the lower end face of the vehicle body 1. A spray head 38 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the conduit 39. A water storage tank 7 is installed on one side of the upper end of the vehicle body 1, and the inner cavity of the water storage tank 7 is connected to the conduit 39.

[0057] Specifically, during the movement of the vehicle body 1, clean water is extracted from the water storage tank 7 by using the spray head 38 in conjunction with the conduit 39, and then sprayed on the runway surface to improve the cleanliness of the airport runway and avoid the trouble of manual mopping.

[0058] The working principle is as follows: the drive wheel 2 is remotely controlled to move the vehicle body 1 on the airport runway. During the movement, the drive wheel 2 rotates the support column 11, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the second bevel gear 13 to rotate. At the same time, the second bevel gear 13 rotates the transmission column 14, which in turn drives the transmission bevel gear 27 to rotate. This drives the driven bevel gear 26, which in turn rotates the transmission shaft 24. As the transmission shaft 24 rotates, it drives the intermittent gear 23 to rotate. Then, the intermittent gear 23 uses its teeth to engage with the gear column 28 to rotate the transmission disk 22, which in turn rotates the cylinder 20 and drives the L-shaped support frame 9 to swing. At the same time, the L-shaped support frame 9 drives the monitoring probe 10 to swing. The monitoring probe 10 then monitors and scans the airport runway to observe whether there are any objects such as garbage or stones on the runway, so as to avoid the impact of uncleaned objects on the safety of aircraft landing.

[0059] When the teeth of the intermittent gear 23 disengage from the tooth column 28, the torsion spring 21 in the inner cavity of the fixed cylinder 8 will quickly twist the fixed plate 19 to reset. During the reset process, the fixed plate 19 will simultaneously drive the cylinder 20 to rotate and cause the cylinder 20 to rotate the L-shaped support frame 9, which in turn will drive the monitoring probe 10 to rotate, thereby re-monitoring and scanning the airport runway, increasing the monitoring and scanning range of the monitoring probe 10, and enabling it to perform safety inspections of the entire airport runway more quickly.

[0060] During the movement of the vehicle body 1, the drive wheel 2 drives the support column 11 to rotate, which in turn drives the pulley 15 to rotate via the transmission belt 16 of the support column 11. The pulley 15 then rotates the fixed column 32, which in turn rotates the support plate 33, thereby driving the storage column 35 to rotate. The storage column 35, in conjunction with the T-shaped sliding column 34, drives the slide plate 29 to rotate. During the rotation of the slide plate 29, since the slide plate 29 is equipped with a brush on its exterior, the slide plate 29 uses the brush to clean the dust, stones, and screws on the airport runway surface and puts them into the inner cavity of the semi-circular protective cover 18. As the slide plate 29 rotates in conjunction with the cylinder 30, when the dust and stones are transported to the top of the semi-circular protective cover 18, the vacuum cleaner 5 uses the diversion pipe 6 to draw the dust into the inner cavity of the dust collection box 3. This achieves the cleaning of dust, stones, screws, and other objects on the airport runway surface during the safety inspection of the airport runway surface.

[0061] When the slide plate 29 and cylinder 30 rotate to the eccentric position of the eccentric block 31, the tension spring 37 in the inner cavity of the storage groove 36 pulls the T-shaped sliding column 34, causing the T-shaped sliding column 34 to pull the slide plate 29 to slide inside the cylinder 30. At the same time, the cylinder 30 scrapes off the screws adsorbed on the outside of the slide plate 29, thereby demagnetizing the screws from the strong magnet 40 inside the slide plate 29, and causing the stones and screws to fall into the inner cavity of the collection box 17 for storage, thus preventing the presence of stones, screws, and other objects on the airport runway, which could pose a safety hazard to the aircraft's landing gear during landing. Meanwhile, during the movement of the vehicle body 1, clean water in the water tank 7 is extracted by using the spray head 38 in conjunction with the conduit 39, and then sprayed on the airport runway surface, thereby improving the cleanliness of the airport runway and avoiding the trouble of manual mopping.

The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention.
