Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of track maintenance robots, in particular to an intelligent track maintenance robot for truss crane tracks. Background Art

[0002] Truss crane is an important equipment in the electrolytic aluminum workshop. In order to ensure the normal and stable operation of the truss crane, it is necessary to regularly tighten the high-strength screws on both sides of its track, which involves high-altitude operations. The workers need to work on the track installation platform more than 8 meters above the ground, and the width of the platform is less than 1 meter. This poses a great challenge to the personal safety of the workers. Moreover, due to the small space, once the workers accidentally drop the tools, it is easy to cause casualties and equipment damage.

[0003] At present, most electrolytic aluminum workshops use manual or electric tightening tools to tighten bolts, and generally require manual re-inspection using torque wrenches. This operation method not only has safety hazards, but also has the problems of high labor intensity for workers, low production efficiency, and poor process stability. Summary of the invention

After the fixation is completed, the second servo motor drives the driving wheel to rotate, and then drives the entire device to move on the surface of the track.

At the same time, the track bolts are detected by the first camera and the second camera, and are reinforced in combination with the tightening mechanism, thereby avoiding the need for manual work in the traditional maintenance process, reducing the labor intensity of the maintenance work, and improving production efficiency.

[0020] 2. The present invention provides an intelligent track maintenance robot for truss crane tracks.
