DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0046] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0047] Example 1
[0048] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 The inspection robot is used in the field of pipeline inspection robots and mainly includes a mobile vehicle 1, which is designed to be able to move freely in the drainage pipeline. A camera 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the mobile vehicle 1 for real-time shooting and transmitting the internal situation of the drainage pipeline to realize the inspection function.
[0049] Reference Figure 2-Figure 4 A mud guide 2 is provided inside the mobile vehicle 1, and the mud guide 2 runs through the front and rear ends of the mobile vehicle 1, and is used to collect and transport silt. An auger 3 is rotatably connected in the mud guide 2, and the auger 3 is driven to rotate by a driving motor 9 through a rotating shaft 10, so that the silt in the mud guide 2 is thrown backward into the drainage pipeline.
[0050] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The cleaning structure includes a rotating disk 6 rotatably connected to one side of the mobile vehicle 1, and the rotating disk 6 is connected to the mud guide 2 through a rotating tube 5. A plurality of mud removal plates 14 are evenly distributed on the side of the rotating disk 6 away from the mobile vehicle 1. These mud removal plates 14 are inclined, and the edges of the mud removal plates 14 are provided with serrated edges 15, which are used to break large particles of impurities in the sludge during the rotation process and guide the sludge into the rotating tube 5 and the tapered hole 13. A gear ring 12 is provided on the outer wall of the rotating tube 5. The driving motor 9 drives the gear 11 to rotate through the rotating shaft 10, and the gear 11 is meshed with the gear ring 12, thereby driving the rotating tube 5 and the rotating disk 6 to rotate synchronously.
[0051] Reference Figure 2 A sewage hose 7 is fixed on the side of the mobile vehicle 1 away from the rotating disk 6. The sewage hose 7 is connected to the mud guide channel 2 and is used to evenly spray the sludge in the mud guide channel 2 onto the inner wall of the drainage pipeline.
[0052] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In order to realize the reciprocating swing of the sewage hose 7, a swing structure is provided. Specifically, a rotating rod 22 is rotatably connected to one side of the mobile vehicle 1 through the base, and a rotating rod 23 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating rod 22. A pull rod 24 is fixed to the bottom of one side of the rotating rod 23, and a collar 25 is fixed to the bottom end of the pull rod 24, and the collar 25 is sleeved on the outer wall of the sewage hose 7. A cam 30 is fixed to the bottom end of the rotating rod 22, and a guide groove 31 is provided on one side of the bottom of the cam 30, and a pin 32 is slidably fitted in the guide groove 31. A U-shaped frame 27 is also slidably connected to one side of the mobile vehicle 1, and the pin 32 is fixed to the top of the U-shaped frame 27. A rectangular groove 28 is provided in the U-shaped frame 27, and a pin 29 is slidably fitted in the rectangular groove 28, and the pin 29 is fixed to the side of the disc 26 that deviates from the center of the circle. The disc 26 is rotatably connected to one side of the mobile vehicle 1, and its center position is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the auger 3.
[0053] Specifically, when the rotating shaft of the auger 3 rotates, the disc 26 is driven to rotate, and then the U-shaped frame 27 and the pin 32 are driven to move back and forth linearly through the cooperation of the pin 29 and the rectangular groove 28. The sliding of the pin 32 in the guide groove 31 drives the cam 30 and the rotating rod 22 to rotate back and forth, and finally drives the sewage hose 7 to swing through the cooperation of the rotating rod 23, the pull rod 24 and the collar 25.
[0054] Reference Figure 2-Figure 4, the driving structure is designed to be integrated inside the mobile vehicle 1. First, a transmission cavity 8 is provided at the bottom of the mobile vehicle 1, and the transmission cavity 8 is used to accommodate and support the driving motor 9. The driving motor 9 is firmly fixed on one side of the inner wall of the transmission cavity 8 to ensure its stable operation. One end of the rotating shaft 10 rotates through one side of the inner wall of the transmission cavity 8 through a bearing, and the other end thereof is fixedly connected to a gear 11. This gear 11 is meshed with a gear ring 12 fixed on the periphery of the rotating disk 6, thereby realizing power transmission.
[0055] Specifically, when the driving motor 9 is started, it drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate, and then drives the rotating disk 6 and the rotating tube 5 connected thereto to rotate together through the meshing action of the gear 11 and the gear ring 12.
[0056] Reference Figure 2-Figure 4 In order to simultaneously drive the auger 3 to discharge the sludge, a first synchronous wheel 20 is fixedly sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 10, and the first synchronous wheel 20 is located in the transmission chamber 8. A base plate 19 is fixed on the top inner wall of the mud guide 2, and a second synchronous wheel 21 is rotatably connected in the base plate 19. The first synchronous wheel 20 and the second synchronous wheel 21 are tightly connected by a synchronous belt to achieve synchronous transmission of power. The other end of the rotating shaft of the auger 3 extends into the base plate 19 and is fixedly connected to the second synchronous wheel 21.
[0057] Specifically, when the rotating shaft 10 rotates, the auger 3 will also rotate synchronously through the transmission effect of the first synchronous wheel 20, the synchronous belt and the second synchronous wheel 21, so that the sludge in the mud guide channel 2 is discharged to the rear through the sewage hose 7.
[0058] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to protect the camera 4 from damage, a glass protective cover 35 is fixed on the top of the mobile vehicle 1. The glass protective cover 35 is designed to be transparent and solid, which can protect the camera 4 and ensure the shooting effect. A cleaning structure is also set in the mobile vehicle 1 to regularly clean the glass protective cover 35 blocked by silt to ensure its transparency and ensure the shooting quality of the camera 4.
[0059] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Fig. 9The cleaning structure includes a liquid storage tank 33 provided in the mobile vehicle 1 for storing clean water. A water pump 34 is fixedly installed in the liquid storage tank 33 for pumping out the clean water and delivering it to the part that needs to be cleaned. A liquid injection pipe 36 is fixedly passed through the top of the glass protective cover 35, and the bottom end of the liquid injection pipe 36 is connected to the liquid outlet end of the water pump 34 through a drain pipe to receive the clean water from the liquid storage tank 33. The top end of the liquid injection pipe 36 is fixedly passed through the glass protective cover 35 and is connected to a hollow disk 37, and the clean water enters the hollow disk 37 through the liquid injection pipe 36. A plurality of drainage holes 38 are evenly distributed on the bottom of the hollow disk 37.
[0060] Specifically, when the clean water fills the hollow disk 37 , it will be evenly sprayed onto the glass protective cover 35 through the drainage holes 38 to rinse it, thereby removing the sewage and sludge attached thereto and ensuring a clear field of view for the camera 4 .
[0061] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to more effectively utilize the clean water and avoid its waste, an annular liquid collecting tank 39 is also provided on the top of the mobile vehicle 1. The annular liquid collecting tank 39 is arranged coaxially with the camera 4 to collect the clean water after flushing. The bottom inner wall of the annular liquid collecting tank 39 is provided with one or more liquid return holes 40, which are connected to the mud guide 2.
[0062] Specifically, after the cleaning water is sprayed on the glass protective cover 35 and rinsed, most of the cleaning water will flow into the annular liquid collecting groove 39 along the surface of the glass protective cover 35. Subsequently, the cleaning water flows back into the mud guide 2 through the liquid return hole 40 and mixes with the sludge therein. This can not only increase the moisture content in the sludge and prevent it from sticking to the inner wall of the mud guide 2 after drying, but also reduce the waste of cleaning water to a certain extent and improve resource utilization.
[0063] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 In the structure of the mobile vehicle 1, an L-shaped mounting frame 17 is specially designed and fixed on the side close to the rotating disk 6. This mounting frame not only plays a role of stable support, but also shields the muddy water that may be thrown out by the rotating disk 6 during the rotation process through the protective arc plate 18 fixed on its top. The shape and position of the protective arc plate 18 are precisely calculated to ensure that the muddy water can be effectively prevented from splashing onto other parts of the robot or the working environment, thereby improving the overall safety and cleanliness.
[0064] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6In order to reduce the friction between the rotating disk 6 and the inner wall of the bottom of the drain pipe and provide stable support in a complex environment, a plurality of balls 16 are embedded on the outer wall of the rotating disk 6. These balls 16 are in close contact with the inner wall of the bottom of the drain pipe, so that the rotating disk 6 can rotate more smoothly, reducing wear and energy consumption.
[0065] In summary, the intelligent inspection robot for drainage network of the present invention not only improves the stability and dredging efficiency of the robot in the drainage network through the carefully designed L-shaped mounting frame 17, protective arc plate 18, and ball bearing 16, but also effectively prevents the splashing of mud and water, thereby significantly improving the overall working performance and reliability.
[0066] Through the above structural design, the intelligent inspection robot for drainage pipe network of this embodiment can move autonomously in the drainage pipe, and use the camera 4 for inspection at the same time, and collect the sludge on the way forward and transfer it to the mud guide 2 through the rotating disk 6 and the mud removal plate 14. The auger 3 throws the sludge backwards, and the reciprocating swing of the sewage hose 7 ensures that the sludge can be evenly sprayed on the inner wall of the drainage pipe, avoiding the accumulation of sludge to hinder the return of the robot. In addition, the glass protective cover 35 effectively protects the camera 4, and the cleaning structure ensures a clear view of the camera 4. The whole system has a compact structure, is easy to operate, and has significant effects, which greatly improves the efficiency and accuracy of drainage pipe network inspection.
[0067] Example 2
[0068] refer to Fig.10 and Fig.11 , improved on the basis of Example 1: In addition, in order to further improve the dredging efficiency and prevent silt from accumulating inside the robot, an airbag 41 system is designed to be used in conjunction with the rotating disk 6. The system includes an airbag 41 fixed to the side of the mobile vehicle 1 close to the rotating disk 6, and an air intake pipe 42 and an exhaust pipe 46 connected to the airbag 41. The air intake pipe 42 passes through the top of the L-shaped mounting frame 17 and is used to inflate the airbag 41; a support plate 47 is fixed on one side of the mobile vehicle 1, and a rotating hollow ring 45 is fixedly set on the support plate 47, and the exhaust pipe 46 is connected to a specially designed rotating hollow ring 45, and the rotating hollow ring 45 is rotatably sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating tube 5.
[0069] A bending plate 43 is also fixed to one side of the airbag 41, and the top of the bending plate 43 is slidably connected to the bottom of the L-shaped mounting frame 17 to ensure that the airbag 41 can move smoothly when squeezed. At the same time, a plurality of hemispherical blocks 44 are fixed to the side of the rotating disk 6 close to the moving vehicle 1, and these hemispherical blocks 44 will come into contact with the bending plate 43 and squeeze the airbag 41 when the rotating disk 6 rotates.
[0070] Specifically, when the rotating disk 6 rotates, the hemispherical block 44 periodically contacts the bending plate 43, thereby continuously squeezing the airbag 41. When the airbag 41 is squeezed, the gas inside is discharged into the rotating hollow ring 45 through the exhaust pipe 46. Since the inner wall of the rotating hollow ring 45 is provided with a plurality of exhaust holes 48, and the rotating tube 5 is provided with an inclined hole 49 intermittently connected to the exhaust hole 48, when a certain inclined hole 49 is aligned with the corresponding exhaust hole 48, the air in the rotating hollow ring 45 will enter the rotating tube 5 through the inclined hole 49. This design cleverly utilizes the pressure difference of the gas to push the sludge in the rotating tube 5 toward the mud channel 2, effectively avoiding the accumulation of sludge in the rotating tube 5.
[0071] In summary, the intelligent inspection robot for drainage pipe network of the present invention effectively prevents the accumulation of muddy water and silt by carefully designing structures such as the airbag 41 and its matching air pipe system and the rotating hollow ring 45, thereby significantly improving the overall working performance and reliability.
[0072] A method for using a drainage network intelligent inspection robot comprises the following steps:
[0073] S1. Place the mobile vehicle 1 in the drainage pipe. When the mobile vehicle 1 encounters accumulated silt in front of it and hinders its progress, the desilting plate 14 is driven to rotate quickly by the rotating disk 6. When moving forward, the silt is broken up and discharged to the rear through the auger 3 and the sewage hose 7, thereby opening the way forward. In specific operation, the driving motor 9 drives the gear 11 to rotate through the rotating shaft 10, and the gear 11 drives the rotating pipe 5 and the rotating disk 6 to rotate through the gear ring 12. Therefore, the rotating disk 6 and the desilting plate 14 of the mobile vehicle 1 rotate during the slow forward movement, and the serrated edge 15 on one side of the desilting plate 14 can cut the silt into pieces to prevent the rotating pipe 5, the mud guide 2 and the tapered hole 13 from being blocked. Since the desilting plate 14 is placed at an angle, the silt enters the tapered hole 13 and the rotating pipe 5 along the desilting plate 14, and then enters the mud guide 2, and the auger 3 throws the silt to the rear.
[0074] S2. When the rotating disk 6 rotates, the rotating disk 6 continuously squeezes the airbag 41 through the cooperation of the hemispherical block 44 and the bending plate 43. When the airbag 41 is squeezed, the gas inside it is discharged into the rotating hollow ring 45 through the exhaust pipe 46. When the inclined hole 49 is aligned with the exhaust hole 48, the air in the rotating hollow ring 45 enters the rotating tube 5 through the inclined hole 49, which can just push the silt from the rotating tube 5 into the mud guide 2, avoiding the silt from accumulating in the rotating tube 5;
[0075] S3, the rotating shaft 10 drives the auger 3 to rotate through the cooperation of the first synchronous wheel 20, the second synchronous wheel 21 and the synchronous belt, and the auger 3 discharges the sludge in the mud guide 2 to the rear through the sewage hose 7, and the rotating shaft of the auger 3 drives the disc 26 to rotate, and the disc 26 drives the U-shaped frame 27 and the pin 32 to move back and forth through the cooperation of the pin 29 and the rectangular groove 28. The cooperation of the pin 32 and the guide groove 31 drives the cam 30 and the rotating rod 22 to rotate back and forth, and the rotating rod 22 drives the sewage hose 7 to swing through the cooperation of the rotating rod 23, the pull rod 24 and the collar 25, so that the sludge can be evenly distributed on the inner wall of the drainage pipe when discharging the sludge, so as to avoid the discharged sludge from accumulating again and hindering the return of the mobile vehicle 1;
[0076] S4. When the glass protective cover 35 is covered by sewage and sludge on the inner wall of the top of the drain pipe during the movement of the mobile vehicle 1, the water pump 34 injects the clean water in the liquid storage tank 33 into the injection pipe 36 and the hollow plate 37 through the drainage hose, and the clean water is evenly sprinkled on the glass protective cover 35 through the drainage hole 38 to flush the sewage and sludge thereon, and the flushing water flows back to the mud guide channel 2 through the cooperation of the annular liquid collecting groove 39 and the return hole 40, thereby increasing the moisture content in the sludge in the mud guide channel 2 and preventing the sludge from drying and sticking to the inner wall of the mud guide channel 2.
[0077] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles and wiring methods of the drive motor 9, camera 4 and water pump 34 are commonplace, and are conventional means or common knowledge, and will not be elaborated here. Those skilled in the art may make any optional selections according to their needs or convenience.
[0078] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
