Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of drone mounting technology, specifically to a collaborative platform for intelligent drones mounting robot dogs. Background Technology

[0002] Drones can carry a wide variety of equipment. Depending on the mission requirements, different types of equipment can be selected. For example, drones used for aerial photography usually carry high-definition cameras or panoramic cameras; drones used for military reconnaissance carry infrared sensors or radar equipment; and drones used for search and rescue missions may carry positioning equipment, etc.

[0003] In existing technologies, the joint operation of drones carrying robot dogs refers to the use of drones and robot dogs to cooperate in completing a certain task or military reconnaissance. This joint operation can achieve more efficient and flexible task execution. However, in existing technologies, when drones carry robot dogs for transportation, the robot dogs are mostly suspended from the bottom of the drone by staff, who then control the drone to transport the robot dog to the designated location and drop it off. Although existing technologies can effectively transport robot dogs, the drone may be affected by wind resistance or adverse weather conditions such as rain during transport, which may affect the drone's flight and cause the suspended robot dog to sway or even fall off, making it impossible to ensure the safety of the robot dog during transport.

[0004] Furthermore, if a drone carrying a robot dog encounters mountainous or rugged terrain during joint operations, uneven ground or obstacles may cause the robot dog to be unbalanced when placed, or even hinder its subsequent movement. This will not only have an adverse effect on its normal operation and function, but also increase the risk of it tipping over. When the robot dog is unbalanced, it may affect the efficiency and accuracy of its task execution, especially in application scenarios that require precise movement or positioning, thus affecting the robot dog's working performance.

[0005] Therefore, in view of this, the present invention proposes an intelligent collaborative drone-mounted robot dog joint operation platform to solve the above problems and improve the shortcomings of the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a collaborative platform for intelligent drones carrying robotic dogs to work together, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a joint operation platform for intelligent collaborative drones carrying robot dogs, used for transporting robot dogs, comprising: a drone, a box fixedly connected to the bottom of the drone, and a robot dog detachably connected inside the box; the joint operation platform for intelligent collaborative drones carrying robot dogs includes: a reciprocating wiping mechanism and a counter-clamping mechanism.

[0008] The reciprocating wiping mechanism is located on the outside right side of the box, and the reciprocating wiping mechanism is used to clean the floor;

[0009] The opposing clamping mechanism is located on the inside right side of the housing, and is used to protect the robot dog from impacts.

[0010] Preferably, the reciprocating wiping mechanism includes a motor, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the housing via a U-shaped fixing plate. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the motor. A rotating disk is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft away from the motor. A rotating column is fixedly connected to the side surface of the rotating disk away from the rotating shaft. A U-shaped sliding groove plate is slidably connected to the surface of the rotating column. The U-shaped sliding groove plate is slidably connected to the housing.

[0011] Preferably, a movable plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped slide plate, and a rectangular slide plate is slidably connected to the end of the movable plate away from the U-shaped slide plate. The rectangular slide plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box.

[0012] Preferably, the rectangular slide plate has a slide groove on its surface, and the bottom of the movable plate is rotatably connected to a swing wiping plate via a pin. The end of the swing wiping plate away from the rectangular slide plate is rotatably connected to the bottom of the box via a pin.

[0013] Preferably, the opposing clamping mechanism includes a gripper that is detachably installed inside the housing. A first swing plate is fixedly connected to the side of the gripper. A first rack is connected to the end of the first swing plate away from the gripper via gear meshing. A protective plate is fixedly connected to the side of the first rack. A spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the protective plate. The end of the spring away from the protective plate is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the housing.

[0014] Preferably, a first moving plate is rotatably connected to the surface of the protective plate, a first pin is rotatably connected to the middle of the first moving plate, the bottom of the first pin is fixedly connected to the housing, a second moving plate is fixedly connected to the side of the first moving plate near the first pin, and a second rack is fixedly connected to the side of the second moving plate away from the first pin.

[0015] Preferably, the second rack is fixedly connected to the surface of another set of protective plates, and a second swing plate is meshed with the surface of the second rack. The side of the second swing plate away from the second rack is fixedly connected to the gripper surface. A fourth moving plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the other set of protective plates. A second pin is rotatably connected to the surface of the fourth moving plate. A third moving plate is fixedly connected to the side of the fourth moving plate near the second pin. The third moving plate slides in a groove opened in the second moving plate.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a collaborative platform for intelligent drones carrying robot dogs, which has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. By using springs and protective plates, the robot dog can be effectively clamped and limited while also being protected against collisions. The clamping and limiting mechanism ensures that the robot dog is prevented from falling off or shaking during drone transport, avoiding the robot dog from shaking or falling off due to loss of control or external forces during drone movement. At the same time, the collision protection measures can reduce damage to the robot dog caused by external collisions.

[0018] 2. By setting up the first rack, the first moving plate and the first pin, the robot dog can be effectively clamped and limited when it is impacted. This design can effectively prevent the robot dog from being further damaged by external forces, thereby reducing maintenance costs and downtime. It can also further prevent the robot dog from falling or shaking, thus improving the safety of subsequent transportation.

[0019] 3. The motor, moving plate, and rectangular slide plate effectively clean the ground before placing the robot dog on it. Cleaning the ground removes obstacles, dust, and debris, effectively preventing the robot dog from tipping over or being obstructed during its descent due to uneven ground. This not only ensures the safety of the robot dog's operation but also improves the stability and reliability of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0032] 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 embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0034] Embodiments of the present invention

[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 As shown:

[0036] A smart collaborative drone-mounted robot dog joint operation platform for transporting robot dog 3 includes: drone 1, a box 2 fixedly connected to the bottom of drone 1, and robot dog 3 detachably connected inside the box 2. The smart collaborative drone-mounted robot dog joint operation platform includes: reciprocating wiping mechanism 4 and opposing clamping mechanism 5.

[0037] The reciprocating wiping mechanism 4 is located on the outside right side of the box 2, and is used to clean the floor;

[0038] The opposing clamping mechanism 5 is located inside the right side of the housing 2, and the opposing clamping mechanism 5 is used to protect the robot dog 3 from impact.

[0039] The reciprocating wiping mechanism 4 includes a motor 401, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the housing 2 via a U-shaped fixing plate. A rotating shaft 402 is fixedly connected to the output shaft end of the motor 401. A rotating disk 403 is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 402 away from the motor 401. A rotating column 404 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the rotating disk 403 away from the rotating shaft 402. A U-shaped sliding groove plate 405 is slidably connected to the surface of the rotating column 404. The U-shaped sliding groove plate 405 is slidably connected to the housing 2.

[0040] A movable plate 406 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped slide plate 405. A rectangular slide plate 407 is slidably connected to the end of the movable plate 406 away from the U-shaped slide plate 405. The rectangular slide plate 407 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the box 2.

[0041] The rectangular slide plate 407 has a slide groove on its surface. The bottom of the movable plate 406 is rotatably connected to the swing wiping plate 408 via a pin. The end of the swing wiping plate 408 away from the rectangular slide plate 407 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the box 2 via a pin.

[0042] Among them: the U-shaped slide plate 405 has two sets of limiting plates on both sides; the rectangular slide plate 407 has slide grooves on both the surface and the side; and the motor 401 is fixedly connected to the side of the box 2 by the U-shaped fixing plate.

[0043] The effects achieved by this embodiment are as follows: In the prior art, when the robot dog 3 is placed in a designated position, the ground is not cleaned. If there are bumps or obstacles on the ground, the robot dog 3 may be unbalanced when it is placed or even obstructed during subsequent movement. This not only affects its normal operation and function but also increases the risk of tipping over. Compared with the prior art, the setting of motor 401, moving plate 406 and rectangular slide plate 407 can effectively clean the ground before the robot dog 3 is placed. Cleaning the ground can remove obstacles, dust and debris, effectively preventing the robot dog 3 from falling over or being obstructed during movement due to uneven ground when it descends. This not only ensures the safe operation of the robot dog 3 but also improves the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0044] Further Examples

[0045] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown

[0046] The opposing clamping mechanism 5 includes a gripper 501, which is detachably installed inside the housing 2. A first swing plate 502 is fixedly connected to the side of the gripper 501. A first rack 505 is connected to the end of the first swing plate 502 away from the gripper 501 through gear meshing. A protective plate 504 is fixedly connected to the side of the first rack 505. A spring 503 is fixedly connected to the surface of the protective plate 504. The end of the spring 503 away from the protective plate 504 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the housing 2.

[0047] A first moving plate 506 is rotatably connected to the surface of the protective plate 504. A first pin 507 is rotatably connected to the middle of the first moving plate 506. The bottom of the first pin 507 is fixedly connected to the housing 2. A second moving plate 508 is fixedly connected to the side of the first moving plate 506 near the first pin 507. A second rack 512 is fixedly connected to the side of the second moving plate 508 away from the first pin 507.

[0048] The second rack 512 is fixedly connected to the surface of another set of protective plates 504. The surface of the second rack 512 is meshed with a second swing plate 513. The side of the second swing plate 513 away from the second rack 512 is fixedly connected to the surface of the gripper 501. The surface of the other set of protective plates 504 is fixedly connected to a fourth moving plate 511. The surface of the fourth moving plate 511 is rotatably connected to a second pin 510. The side of the fourth moving plate 511 near the second pin 510 is fixedly connected to a third moving plate 509. The third moving plate 509 slides in the groove opened in the second moving plate 508.

[0049] Wherein: the first swing plate 502 is rotatably connected to the middle surface of the first swing plate 502, and two sets of the first swing plate 502 are symmetrically arranged along the center of the surface of the gripper 501. The springs 503 are arranged in six sets along the surface of the protective plate 504. The springs 503 and the protective plate 504 are symmetrically arranged in two sets along the center of the surface of the gripper 501. The surface of the second moving plate 508 is provided with a sliding groove, and the third moving plate 509 is slidably connected to the sliding groove provided by the second moving plate 508.

[0050] The effects achieved by this embodiment are as follows: Existing technology can effectively transport the robot dog 3, but when transporting the robot dog 3, the drone 1 may be affected by wind resistance or severe weather such as rain, which may affect the flight of the drone 1, causing the suspended robot dog 3 to sway or even fall off. Compared with the prior art, by setting the first rack 505, the first moving plate 506 and the first pin 507, the robot dog 3 can be further clamped and limited when it is hit. This design can effectively prevent the robot dog 3 from being further damaged by external forces, thereby reducing maintenance costs and downtime, and can further prevent the robot dog 3 from falling or swaying, thus improving the safety of subsequent transport.

[0051] In addition, the spring 503 and the protective plate 504 can effectively clamp and limit the robot dog 3 while also providing anti-collision protection. The clamping and limiting can ensure that the robot dog 3 stops or is fixed when the drone 1 is transporting it, preventing the robot dog 3 from shaking or falling off due to loss of control or external force during the movement of the drone 1. At the same time, the anti-collision protection measures can reduce the damage caused by external collisions to the robot dog 3.

[0052] The working principle of all the content in the above embodiments is as follows:

[0053] In the initial state: the gripper 501 is not clamped to the robot dog 3, the spring 503 is in an unforced state, the first swing plate 502 is in a non-swinging state, the first rack 505 is engaged with the bottom of the first swing plate 502, the first moving plate 506 and the first pin 507 are in a non-swinging state, and the fourth moving plate 511 and the third moving plate 509 are in a non-swinging state, the rotating column 404 is placed at the top of the U-shaped slide plate 405, the moving plate 406 is placed in the middle of the rectangular slide plate 407, and the swing wiping plate 408 is in a swinging state.

[0054] The following describes the working process of the reciprocating wiping mechanism 4 in protecting the robot dog 3 from impact during transport:

[0055] In use, the operator first installs the robot dog 3 into the gripper 501 to clamp it securely. Then, the operator remotely controls the drone 1 to transport the robot dog 3 to the designated location. If the drone 1 encounters wind resistance, the robot dog 3 will shake due to the drone's movement. When the robot dog 3 shakes, it will impact the protective plate 504. Because the protective plate 504 is made of rubber, it effectively absorbs the impact force of the robot dog 3, preventing damage from collisions. Please refer to the following. Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, when the protective plate 504 is impacted by the robot dog 3, a spring 503 is fixedly connected to the side of the protective plate 504 away from the first swing plate 502. Therefore, when the protective plate 504 is impacted by the robot dog 3, it moves away from the first swing plate 502. When the protective plate 504 moves away from the first swing plate 502, it drives the first rack 505 fixedly connected to its surface to move. When the first rack 505 moves, it drives the first swing plate 502 meshing with its surface to swing towards the second swing plate 513. The swing of the first swing plate 502 towards the second swing plate 513 causes the gripper 501 to clamp the robot dog 3. Furthermore, when the protective plate 504 moves away from the first swing plate 502, it drives the first moving plate 506 fixedly connected to its surface to move away from the fourth moving plate 513. When the first moving plate 506 moves away from the fourth moving plate 511, it will drive the second moving plate 508, which is connected to it via the first pin 507, to move towards the fourth moving plate 511. When the second moving plate 508 moves towards the fourth moving plate 511, it will drive the second rack 512, which is fixedly connected to its surface, to move away from the first rack 505. When the second rack 512 moves away from the first rack 505, it will drive the second swing plate 513, which is meshed with its surface, to swing towards the first swing plate 502. The swing of the second swing plate 513 towards the first swing plate 502 will drive the gripper 501 to clamp the robot dog 3. This can effectively protect the robot dog 3 when it is hit, and also improve the safety of subsequent transportation.

[0056] The following describes the cleaning process of the reciprocating wiping mechanism 4:

[0057] After the staff delivers the drone 1 to the designated location, they remotely start the motor 401, causing its output shaft to rotate. This rotation drives the rotating shaft 402, which is fixedly connected to its surface, to rotate. The rotating shaft 402 then drives the rotating disk 403, also fixedly connected to its surface, to rotate. The rotating disk 403, in turn, drives the rotating column 404, fixedly connected to its surface, to rotate around its center. At this time, because the U-shaped sliding plate 405 has a groove on its surface, and the rotating column 404 slides... The U-shaped slide plate 405 is dynamically connected inside the U-shaped slide plate 405. Therefore, when the rotating column 404 rotates around the center of the rotating disk 403, it will drive the U-shaped slide plate 405, which is slidably connected to its surface, to move to the right. When the U-shaped slide plate 405 moves to the right, it will drive the moving plate 406, which is fixedly connected to its bottom, to move to the right. Since the rectangular slide plate 407 has a slide groove on its surface, and the bottom of the moving plate 406 is slidably connected inside the rectangular slide plate 407, when the moving plate 406 moves to the right, it will slide inside the rectangular slide plate 407. The rectangular slide plate 407 is designed to limit the movement trajectory of the moving plate 406. The end of the swing wiping plate 408 furthest from the rectangular slide plate 407 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the housing 2 via a pin. When the moving plate 406 moves, it causes the swing wiping plate 408, rotatably connected to its bottom via a pin, to swing to the right. Simultaneously, as the rotating disk 403 continues to rotate, it causes the rotating column 404, fixedly connected to its surface, to continue rotating around the center of the rotating disk 403. The rotation of the rotating column 404 causes the U-shaped slide plate 405, slidably connected to its surface, to rotate. Moving to the left, the U-shaped slide plate 405 moves to the left, which in turn drives the moving plate 406 fixedly connected to its bottom to move to the left. The moving plate 406 moves to the left, which drives the swing wiping plate 408, which is rotatably connected to its bottom via a pin, to swing to the left. This enables the swing wiping plate 408 to swing back and forth to clean the ground, effectively preventing the robot dog 3 from falling over due to uneven ground or being obstructed during movement when it descends. This not only ensures the safe operation of the robot dog 3 but also improves the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0058] In summary: When the first moving plate 506 moves away from the fourth moving plate 511, it drives the second moving plate 508, which is connected to it via the first pin 507, to move towards the fourth moving plate 511. When the second moving plate 508 moves towards the fourth moving plate 511, it drives the second rack 512, which is fixedly connected to its surface, to move away from the first rack 505. When the second rack 512 moves away from the first rack 505, it drives the second swing plate 513, which is meshed with its surface, to swing towards the first swing plate 502. The swinging motion of the 502 direction drives the gripper 501 to clamp the robot dog 3, which can effectively protect the robot dog 3 from impact and improve the safety of subsequent transportation. Furthermore, the movement of the moving plate 406 to the left will drive the swing wiping plate 408 connected to its bottom by a pin to swing to the left, so that the swing wiping plate 408 can swing back and forth to clean the ground, effectively preventing the robot dog 3 from falling or being obstructed during movement due to uneven ground when it descends. This not only ensures the safe operation of the robot dog 3, but also improves the stability and reliability of the equipment.
