[0007] The robot's base has cleaning devices attached to all four sides of its inner wall. These cleaning devices are used to clean the shooting window.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the cleaning device includes a gear disk and a sponge, a transmission rod and a sawtooth rod, and a sawtooth blade, wherein:

[0009] The outer wall at the middle position of one side of the gear disk is fixedly connected to the outer wall at the middle position of one side of the sponge. Fixing plates are fixedly installed on all four sides of the inner wall of the robot base. Each fixing plate is rotatably connected to the inner wall at the middle position of the corresponding gear disk.

[0010] The top outer wall of the transmission rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sawtooth rod. One side of the outer wall of the sawtooth rod is provided with teeth, and the side of the sawtooth rod with teeth meshes with the corresponding outer wall of the gear disk. One side of the outer wall of both the transmission rod and the sawtooth rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the robot base. The bottom of the transmission rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the lifting platform.

[0011] A slide rod is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the saw blade, and the slide rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding gear disk.

[0012] Preferably, the sponge is C-shaped, and the serrated blades are located at the middle position of the two ends of the sponge.

[0018] This invention provides a multifunctional small anti-external damage robot. By placing the robot's camera and other equipment on a lifting platform, and then placing the lifting platform inside the robot's base and embedding it at the data acquisition location, the lifting platform can be raised and lowered by driving an electric telescopic rod to extend out of the robot's base to collect images of the surrounding environment when not in use.

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0033] like Figure 1 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a multifunctional small anti-external damage robot provided by the present invention. (In conjunction with...) Figures 2 to 10 As shown, in this embodiment, the multifunctional small anti-external damage robot includes a robot base 1, and a lifting platform 2 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the robot base 1. The robot base 1 and the lifting platform 2 are both rectangular in shape.

[0034] The lifting platform 2 has shooting windows 3 on all four sides. Cameras 4 for shooting the surroundings are fixedly installed at the corresponding shooting windows 3 on the four sides of the inner wall of the lifting platform 2. Vibration tilt sensors 5 for sensing vibration and angle changes are fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the lifting platform 2. A wireless transmission module 6 for connecting to the network is fixedly installed at the top of the inner wall of the lifting platform 2. Recorders 7 for recording external sounds are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the lifting platform 2.

[0035] It is understandable that the camera 4, vibration tilt sensor 5, wireless transmission module 6, and recorder 7 can use general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principles are known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. Furthermore, the circuit connections and usage methods of these components can also be known through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. In a specific example, the camera 4 uses a HIKVISION type explosion-proof monitoring camera, the vibration tilt sensor 5 uses a SINDT01 type dual-axis tilt sensor, the wireless transmission module 6 uses an LC-DAQ810 type industrial-grade multi-network wireless data acquisition instrument. It should be noted that the wireless transmission module 6 requires the installation of other components for its use, and the recorder 7 uses a DV862 recorder. Figure 4 As shown, each of the above devices is connected to a wire and requires an external power source for use.

[0036] Electric telescopic rods 8 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the inner wall of the robot base 1. The output ends of the four electric telescopic rods 8 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom of the lifting platform 2. When the robot is in use, the electric telescopic rods 8 are driven to push the lifting platform 2 to rise and fall, so that it extends out of the robot base 1. The surrounding environment is captured by the cameras 4, and the environment can be monitored. When not in use, the lifting platform 2 is retracted into the robot base to prevent external factors from damaging the equipment inside the lifting platform 2.

[0037] Cleaning devices are connected to the four sides of the inner wall of the robot base 1. The cleaning devices include: gear disk 10, sponge 11, transmission rod 12, saw bar 13, and saw blade 14. The cleaning devices are used to clean the shooting window 3.

[0038] The outer wall of the gear disk 10 at the middle position on one side is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the sponge 11 at the middle position on one side. Fixed disks 9 are fixedly installed on all four sides of the inner wall of the robot base 1. Each fixed disk 9 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding gear disk 10 at the middle position. The top outer wall of the transmission rod 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sawtooth rod 13. One side of the outer wall of the sawtooth rod 13 is provided with teeth, and the side of the sawtooth rod 13 with teeth meshes with the outer wall of the corresponding gear disk 10. One side of the outer wall of both the transmission rod 12 and the sawtooth rod 13 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the robot base 1. The bottom of the transmission rod 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer wall of the lifting platform 2.

[0039] A slide rod 15 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of one side of the sawtooth blade 14, and the slide rod 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding gear disk 10. Specifically, when the lifting platform 2 rises, it will drive the transmission rod 12 and the sawtooth rod 13 to move upward. At this time, the sawtooth rod 13 will push the gear disk 10 to rotate, thereby causing the gear disk 10 to drive the sponge 11 to rotate and wipe the outer wall of the lifting platform 2. Figure 3 As shown, the shooting window 3 is located in the middle of the sponge 11 when the lifting platform 2 is not raised. This way, when the lifting platform 2 is raised, the lens on the shooting window 3 can be wiped by the sponge 11, thus ensuring that the captured image is clear enough. At the same time, in order to prevent dirt that is difficult to be wiped off by the sponge 11 from adhering to the shooting window 3, a serrated blade 14 is provided on the gear disk 10. When the serrated blade 14 passes through the shooting window 3, it will scrape off the dirt on the shooting window 3, thus ensuring the clarity of the shooting window 3.

[0040] The sponge 11 is C-shaped, and the serrated blade 14 is located in the middle of the two ends of the sponge 11. In order to make the dirt fall downward after the sponge 11 and the serrated blade 14 have removed the dirt, the sponge 11 is set to a C-shape. When the notch of the sponge 11 is vertically downward, the dirt can fall downward.

[0041] The outer walls on both sides of the saw blade 14 are provided with serrated protrusions. In order to increase the scraping effect of the saw blade 14, serrated protrusions are provided on both sides of the saw blade 14.

[0042] The outer wall of the fixed disk 9, away from the robot base 1, is wavy. A cylinder 16 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer wall of the slide rod 15, and the outer wall of the cylinder 16 is slidably connected to the wavy outer wall of the fixed disk 9. When the gear disk 10 rotates, it will drive the saw blade 14 to rotate, which will cause the cylinder 16 to move within the fixed disk 9. The wavy shape at the connection between the fixed disk 9 and the cylinder 16 will affect the movement trajectory of the saw blade 14, causing the saw blade 14 to extend and retract as it rotates with the gear disk 10, thereby increasing the scraping effect of the saw blade 14. It should be noted that the fixed disk 9 has a groove, and the cylinder 16 is located in this groove. The cylinder 16 cannot leave the groove; it can only slide within the groove.

[0043] A piston 17 is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the transmission rod 12. A spring 18 is fixedly installed on the top outer wall of the transmission rod 12 at the middle position of the piston 17. The top of the spring 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the sawtooth rod 13. A through hole is opened on one side of the top of the sawtooth rod 13. To prevent the transmission rod 12 from being unable to push the sawtooth rod 13, the piston 17 is set on the top of the transmission rod 12, thereby increasing the airtightness between the transmission rod 12 and the sawtooth rod 13. In this way, when the transmission rod 12 moves upward, air pressure is generated. The through hole at the top of the sawtooth rod 13 has a small diameter, which cannot discharge the gas in time. Thus, the air pressure can push the sawtooth rod 13 upward. At the same time, the spring 18 is added inside the transmission rod 12 and the sawtooth rod 13 to increase the resistance and ensure that the sawtooth rod 13 moves with the transmission rod 12.

[0044] The robot base 1 has four fixing plates 19 fixedly installed on its top, front, back, left, and right sides. The fixing plates 19 are installed facing downwards, and their outer walls are located in the middle of the corresponding gear disk 10 and sponge 11. It should be noted that the gear disk 10 and sponge 11 are only fixedly connected at their center, and their edges are not connected. Therefore, the fixing plates 19 are inserted between the gear disk 10 and sponge 11, which causes the top of sponge 11 to protrude, thereby increasing the contact between sponge 11 and lifting platform 2 and thus increasing the cleaning effect of dirt.

[0045] The working principle of the robot of this invention is as follows:

[0046] When using the robot, the electric telescopic rod 8 is driven to raise and lower the lifting platform 2, so that it extends out of the robot base 1, and the various cameras 4 are used to collect images of the surrounding environment.

[0047] At the same time, when the lifting platform 2 rises, it will drive the transmission rod 12 and the sawtooth rod 13 to move upward. At this time, the sawtooth rod 13 will push the gear disk 10 to rotate, so that the gear disk 10 drives the sponge 11 to rotate and wipe the shooting window 3.

[0048] To prevent dirt that is difficult to wipe off with the sponge 11 from adhering to the shooting window 3, a serrated blade 14 is installed on the gear disk 10. When the serrated blade 14 passes through the shooting window 3, it scrapes off the dirt. Simultaneously, influenced by the shape of the fixed disk 9, the serrated blade 14 performs a reciprocating extension and retraction motion to scrape off the stubborn dirt. When not in use, the lifting platform 2 is retracted into the robot base to prevent external factors from damaging the equipment inside the lifting platform 2.

[0049] Implementing the embodiments of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0050] This invention provides a multifunctional small anti-external damage robot. By placing the robot's camera and other equipment on a lifting platform, and then placing the lifting platform inside the robot's base and embedding it at the data acquisition location, the lifting platform can be raised and lowered by driving an electric telescopic rod to extend out of the robot's base to collect images of the surrounding environment when not in use. When not in use, the lifting platform can be retracted into the robot's base to avoid collision damage.

[0051] In this embodiment of the invention, by setting up a gear disk and a sponge, when the lifting platform rises, the gear disk and the sponge will rotate through the serrated rod, thereby wiping the lens on the shooting window and ensuring the shooting effect of the camera. At the same time, a serrated blade is also set on the gear disk. When the gear disk rotates, the serrated blade can scrape off the dirt that is difficult to clean, thereby further ensuring the cleanliness of the shooting window.
