[0032] It should be noted that, without conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0033] Please also combine with Figures 1 to 4, the intelligent cable trench drilling robot provided by the present invention will now be described. The intelligent cable trench drilling robot includes a moving module 1, a lifting module 2, a drilling module 3, a first sensor 4, a reflector 5, a second sensor 6, a third sensor, and a wheelbase adjustment module 8. The moving module 1 is connected to the lifting module 2 and is used to drive the lifting module 2 to move. The lifting module 2 is connected to the drilling module 3 and is used to drive the drilling module 3 to lift. The reflector 5 is installed at one end of the cable trench 100. The first sensor 4 is installed on the moving module 1 and is used to sense the reflector 5 to adjust the position of the drilling module 3 in the first direction. The second sensor 6 is installed on the drilling module 3 and is used to sense the wall to adjust the position of the drilling module 3 in the second direction. The third sensor is installed on the drilling module 3 and is used to sense the wall to adjust the position of the drilling module 3 in the third direction through the lifting module 2. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are arranged at an angle to each other. The wheelbase adjustment module 8 is used to adjust the wheel spacing of the moving module 1.

[0034] It can be understood that the moving module 1 of the intelligent cable trench drilling robot is connected to the lifting module 2 and is used to drive the lifting module 2 to move.

The second sensor 6 is installed on the drilling module 3 and is used to sense the wall to adjust the position of the drilling module 3 in the second direction. The third sensor is installed on the drilling module 3 and is used to sense the wall to adjust the position of the drilling module 3 in the third direction through the lifting module 2. The wheelbase adjustment module 8 is used to adjust the wheel spacing of the moving module 1, so that during the drilling process, the degree of automation is relatively high, replacing the original manual drilling method, improving work efficiency and drilling accuracy, and reducing potential safety hazards.

[0035] It should be noted that according to the placement position of the intelligent cable trench drilling robot, the first direction can be the horizontal direction or the vertical direction. For the convenience of understanding, in the relevant embodiments, the first direction is the horizontal direction, and the second direction and the third direction are both perpendicular to the first direction.

[0036] It should be added that the first sensor 4, the second sensor 6, and the third sensor are all laser ranging sensors. After the first sensor 4 senses the reflector 5, the moving module 1 drives the drilling module 3 to move in the first direction to adjust the distance. After the second sensor 6 senses the wall, the moving module 1 drives the drilling module 3 to move in the second direction to adjust the distance. After the third sensor senses the wall, the moving module 1 drives the drilling module 3 to move in the third direction to adjust the distance.

[0037] In this embodiment, the mobile module 1 includes a mobile body 11, a driving wheel 12 and a driven wheel 13 connected to the mobile body 11. The driving wheel 12 can drive the mobile body 11 to move. The wheelbase adjustment module 8 includes a lead screw 81 and a nut threadedly engaged with the lead screw 81. The lead screw 81 is rotatably connected to the mobile body 11, and the nut is connected to the driven wheel 13. By rotating the lead screw 81, the lead screw 81 drives the nut to drive the driven wheel 13 to approach or move away from the driving wheel 12. By providing the driving wheel 12, the mobile body 11 can move under the drive of the driving wheel 12, so that the mobile body 11 can drive the drilling module 3 to move in the first direction and the second direction.

[0038] Specifically, the lead screw 81 can be driven by a fifth driving motor. The rotation of the lead screw 81 drives the nut to move, so that the nut drives the driven wheel 13 to approach or move away from the driving wheel 12, so that the distance between the driven wheel 13 and the driving wheel 12 can be adjusted.

[0039] Of course, in other embodiments, there are two nuts, which are respectively connected to the driven wheel 13 and the driving wheel 12, so that the driven wheel 13 and the driving wheel 12 approach or move away from each other to adjust the distance between the driven wheel 13 and the driving wheel 12.

[0041] Of course, in other embodiments, the driving wheel 12 is slidably connected to the guide rail 82 and moves along the extension direction of the guide rail 82. In this way, the driving wheel 12 can move along a preset direction.

[0042] Further, the adjustable distance between the driven wheel 13 and the driving wheel 12 is 700 mm to 1400 mm. During implementation, the distance between the driven wheel 13 and the driving wheel 12 can be adjusted arbitrarily between 700 mm and 1400 mm to adapt to different cable trenches 100.

[0043] Further, there are two driving wheels 12, which are respectively arranged at the diagonal corners of the mobile body 11, and there are two driven wheels 13, which are respectively arranged at the diagonal corners of the mobile body 11.

The mounting plate 21 moves along the extending direction of the guiding member 23, and the mounting plate 21 drives the drilling module 3 to move, so as to adjust the position of the drilling module 3 in the third direction.

[0047] In this embodiment, the lifting module 2 further includes a photoelectric switch 24. The photoelectric switch 24 is installed on the guiding member 23 and is used to limit the position of the drilling module 3. By setting the photoelectric switch 24, the drilling module 3 can move within a preset stroke, so as to avoid the drilling module 3 colliding with other components.

[0048] During implementation, there are two photoelectric switches 24, which are respectively arranged at two limit positions where the drilling module 3 moves on the guiding member 23.

[0049] In one embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the drilling module 3 includes a fourth driving motor and a drilling component. The fourth driving motor is connected to the drilling component and is used to drive the drilling component to move. The fourth driving motor drives the drilling component to move, so as to be able to perform a drilling operation.

[0050] Specifically, the drilling module 3 further includes a coupling, a guide rail, and a lead screw.
