Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0025] Please see Figures 1-9 An auxiliary working platform for geotechnical exploration includes a base 1 and a working platform 3. Symmetrically distributed mounting frames 4 are installed at the bottom of the base 1. A rotating shaft 5 is mounted on the mounting frame 4, and movable wheels 6 are mounted on the rotating shaft 5. A first driving component 7 connected to the rotating shaft 5 is installed in the middle of the mounting frame 4. Preferably, the first driving component 7 is a bidirectional motor. Symmetrically distributed adjusting components 8 are installed on the base 1. The adjusting components 8 are fixedly connected to a transmission component 9. The transmission component 9 is fixedly connected to a moving component 10. A retractable component 11 is installed on the moving component 10, and a shock-absorbing component 12 is provided on the moving component 10. The retractable component 11 is used to unfold the moving component 10, facilitating movement of the invention in complex terrain. The adjusting components 8 are used to drive the transmission component 9 downwards and connect it to the rotating shaft 5, thereby driving the moving component 10 to rotate and move the invention. The shock-absorbing component 12 is used for buffering and shock absorption.
[0026] When mobile exploration is required on complex rock and soil surfaces, the retractable component 11 extends the moving component 10, allowing the invention to easily overcome obstacles on complex rock and soil surfaces, thus improving its mobility. Then, the adjusting component 8 drives the transmission component 9 to descend. During descent, the transmission component 9 connects to the rotating shaft 5 of the moving wheel 6, allowing the rotating shaft 5 to drive the transmission component 9, which in turn drives the moving component 10. No additional drive equipment is needed. The moving component 10, equipped with this device, assists the moving wheel 6, enabling the invention to maintain its mobility even when exploring complex rock and soil surfaces. This solves the problem of difficulty in moving the mobile work platform 3 when the terrain is complex and the surface of the exploration location is not flat.
[0027] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The moving component 10 includes a synchronous shaft 1001, a rotating block 1002, a fixed arm 1003, and several rotating arms 1010. The rotating block 1002 is fixedly connected to the synchronous shaft 1001, and the fixed arm 1003 is fixedly connected to the rotating block 1002. A slider 1009, which is arc-shaped, is installed at the end of each rotating arm 1010. An incomplete annular groove 1008, which is an arc, is formed on the rotating block 1002. The slider 1009 is slidably connected to the incomplete annular groove 1008. The rotating arm 1010 is provided with a sliding groove 1007, and a sliding column 1006 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 1007. One end of the sliding column 1006 is hinged to the support rod 1005, and the other end of the support rod 1005 is hinged to the rotating column 1004. One of the rotating columns 1004 is installed on the fixed arm 1003, and the remaining rotating columns 1004 are installed on the rotating arm 1010. The support rod 1005 is located between adjacent rotating arms 1010, and a support rod 1005 is also provided between the fixed arm 1003 and the rotating arm 1010 closest to it.
[0028] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The retractable component 11 includes a connecting rod 1101 mounted in a ring on the rotating block 1002. The connecting rod 1101 is fixedly connected to the cover plate 1102. The cover plate 1102 has a mating groove 1103. A mating rod 1104 is slidably disposed in the mating groove 1103. The mating rod 1104 is fixedly connected to one of the rotating arms 1010. A second driving component 1105 is installed in the cover plate 1102. Preferably, the second driving component 1105 is a motor. The second driving component 1105 is fixedly connected to the rotating frame 1106. The rotating frame 1106 is connected to the mating rod 1104. The mating groove 1103 is an arc.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The adjusting component 8 includes a U-shaped frame 801 mounted on the base 1, and symmetrically distributed second telescopic members 802 mounted on the U-shaped frame 801. Preferably, the second telescopic member 802 is configured as a cylinder. The second telescopic member 802 is fixedly connected to the adjusting frame 803. Symmetrically distributed guide rods 804 are mounted on the base 1, and the guide rods 804 are slidably connected to the adjusting frame 803.
[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The transmission component 9 includes a side frame 901 connected to the adjustment frame 803. A transmission shaft 902 is rotatably mounted on the side frame 901. A first gear 905 is mounted at the end of the transmission shaft 902. A second gear 906 that meshes with the first gear 905 is mounted at the end of the rotating shaft 5. The side frame 901 is rotatably connected to the synchronous shaft 1001. A transmission wheel 903 is mounted at one end of the synchronous shaft 1001 and the transmission shaft 902 located inside the side frame 901. The two transmission wheels 903 are connected by a synchronous belt 904.
[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 9 The buffer component includes an inner cavity 1201 opened within a rotating arm 1010 and a fixed arm 1003. A shock-absorbing block 1203 is slidably disposed within the inner cavity 1201. The shock-absorbing block 1203 is fixedly connected to a shock-absorbing rod 1204. The shock-absorbing rod 1204 is fixedly connected to a support plate 1205. An elastic element 1202 connected to the shock-absorbing block 1203 is disposed within the inner cavity 1201. Preferably, the elastic element 1202 is a shock-absorbing spring. A damper connected to the shock-absorbing block 1203 is also disposed within the inner cavity 1201 for damping and vibration reduction. Through the elastic element 1202, the bump intensity of the moving component 10 when moving on complex rock and soil terrain can be reduced to a certain extent.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 The base 1 is equipped with symmetrically distributed first telescopic components 2. Preferably, the first telescopic components 2 are cylinders. The first telescopic components 2 are fixedly connected to the working platform 3. The height of the working platform 3 can be adjusted by the first telescopic components 2, which facilitates the inspection personnel and inspection equipment to carry out surveys.
[0033] In practice, the invention is used by driving the rotating shaft 5 connected to it via the first driving component 7, which in turn drives the moving wheel 6 to rotate, thereby moving the working platform 3. When the moving wheel 6 is not suitable for movement on complex rock and soil surfaces, the rotating frame 1106 is driven to rotate via the second driving component 1105, causing the mating rod 1104 on the rotating frame 1106 to slide along the mating groove 1103. The mating rod 1104 then drives the rotating arm 1010 to rotate. By driving one of the rotating arms 1010 to rotate, the remaining rotating arms 1010 can be driven to rotate sequentially via the support rod 1005, the sliding column 1006, and the sliding groove 1007. Until the fixed arm 1003 and several rotating arms 1010 are arranged in a ring, movement is achieved through a non-circular ring rod structure, which facilitates the movement of the invention on complex rock and soil surfaces. This allows the invention to easily overcome obstacles on complex rock and soil surfaces, improving its mobility. It solves the problem of difficulty in moving the working platform 3 when the terrain of the rock and soil exploration is complex and the surface of the exploration location is not flat. In addition, when the moving parts 10 are not used, the rotating arms 1010 and the fixed arms 1003 can be stored together by the extension and retraction parts 11, which can be conveniently stored and reduce the overall space occupied. After the moving part 10 is deployed, the second telescopic member 802 is activated, causing the adjusting frame 803 to descend until the first gear 905 on the transmission shaft 902 meshes with the second gear 906 at the end of the rotating shaft 5. Then, the synchronous shaft 1001 is rotated through the transmission wheel 903 and the synchronous belt 904, which in turn drives the moving part 10 to rotate. This invention uses the driving force of the first driving member 7 to drive the moving part 10, thus eliminating the need for additional driving equipment to drive the moving part 10, resulting in better performance.
[0034] This invention provides an auxiliary working platform 3 for geotechnical exploration. When mobile exploration is required on complex geotechnical surfaces, the retractable component 11 unfolds the originally retracted rotating arms 1010, allowing several rotating arms 1010 to work in a ring structure with the fixed arm 1003. This enables the invention to easily overcome obstacles on complex geotechnical surfaces, improving its mobility. Then, the adjusting component 8 drives the transmission component 9 to descend. During descent, the transmission component 9 connects to the rotating shaft 5 of the moving wheel 6, allowing the rotating shaft 5 to drive the transmission component 9, which in turn drives the moving component 10. No additional drive equipment is needed. The moving component 10 assists the moving wheel 6, enabling the device to maintain mobility on complex geotechnical surfaces. This solves the problem of difficulty in moving the mobile working platform 3 when the terrain is complex and the surface of the exploration location is not flat.
