Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] Example 1 like Figure 1 to Figure 6 As shown, this embodiment proposes a spherical intelligent patrol device for a limited space, including a main structure, a side top mechanism 2, a monitoring mechanism 3, a moving mechanism 4 and a rotating mechanism, the side top mechanism 2 is installed on the outer peripheral surface of the main mechanism 1, the monitoring mechanism 3 is installed in the middle of the main mechanism 1, and the moving mechanism 4 and the steering mechanism 5 pass through the interior of the main mechanism 1.
[0021] like Figure 1~Figure 2 As shown, the main mechanism 1 includes a circular body 11, a plurality of auxiliary side wheels 12, two limit frames 13, a transmission groove 14 and a steering groove 15. The circular body 11 is arranged inside the main mechanism 1, and the plurality of auxiliary side wheels 12 are rotatably installed on eight axial diagonals of the main mechanism 1 respectively. The two limit frames 13 are fixedly connected to the middle part of the circular body 11, and the transmission groove 14 and the steering groove 15 pass through the inside of the circular body 11.
[0022] like Figure 1~Figure 3 As shown, the side lift mechanism 2 includes a plurality of lifting rods 22, and the plurality of lifting rods 22 are respectively installed at the sixteen corners of the circular main body 11. A lifting shaft 23 is installed at the output end of the lifting rod 22, and a plug-in block 24 is fixedly connected to one end of the lifting shaft 23. A side lift block 20 is commonly installed on every two adjacent plug-in blocks 24. Sliding grooves 25 are provided on both sides of the side lift block 20. The plug-in block 24 is slidably assembled inside the sliding grooves 25, and auxiliary rotating wheels 21 are provided on the triangular sides of the side lift block 20.
[0023] like Figure 1~Figure 5 As shown, the moving mechanism 4 includes a transmission motor 41 and two symmetrically arranged follower shafts 45. The transmission motor 41 is installed inside the transmission groove 14. The output end of the transmission motor 41 is connected to a coaxially arranged rotating shaft 42 through a coupling. One end of the rotating shaft 42 is fixedly connected to a driving gear 43. The two follower shafts 45 are rotatably installed at both ends of the transmission groove 14. A transmission belt 44 is sleeved on one of the follower shafts 45 and the rotating shaft 42. A follower gear 46 is fixedly sleeved on the outer circumference of the other follower shaft 45. The driving gear 43 is meshed with the follower gear 46. A rotating wheel 47 is fixedly sleeved on the outer circumference of the follower shaft 45. Through the circular body 11 and the auxiliary By setting up structures such as auxiliary side wheels 12, the equipment is assisted in moving by the auxiliary side wheels 12 on the circular main body 11, which is convenient for flexible operation in a narrow space. The design of the moving mechanism 4 enables the two rotating wheels 47 to achieve synchronous rotation through a single transmission motor 41, which reduces the cost of use and ensures the stable movement of the equipment in a limited space. By setting up structures such as rotating wheels 47 and lifting rods 22, when the rotating wheels 47 contact one side, the lifting rods 22 are started to make the auxiliary rotating wheels 21 on the side top block 20 contact the wall on the other side. This double-sided support design significantly improves the stability of the equipment during movement and prevents deviation or tipping due to unilateral force.
[0024] In this embodiment, when the device is in use, the auxiliary side wheels 12 on the circular body 11 can assist the circular body 11 to move, and then the entire main body mechanism 1 is placed between the clamping grooves, and then the moving mechanism 4 is turned on. The moving mechanism 4 is turned on by turning on the transmission motor 41. The start of the transmission motor 41 causes the rotating shaft 42 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating shaft 42 causes the driving gear 43 and the transmission belt 44 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission belt 44 causes one of the driven shafts 45 to rotate, and the rotation of the driving gear 43 drives the other driven shaft 45 to rotate through the engagement with the driven gear 46. Through the arrangement of the transmission belt 44, the driving gear 43 and the driven gear 46, the two driven shafts 45 rotate in opposite directions, and the positions of the driven shafts 45 are arranged at both ends of the circular body 11. When the two driven shafts 45 rotate in opposite directions, the rotating wheels 47 on the driven shafts 45 rotate to cause the circular body 11 to move forward in one direction. The power output of a transmission motor 41 causes the two rotating wheels 47 to rotate synchronously, thereby reducing its use cost. When the rotating wheel 47 contacts one side edge, the lifting rod 22 on the other side of the circular body 11 is opened, and the activation of the lifting rod 22 causes the lifting shaft 23 to slide, and the sliding of the lifting shaft 23 causes the side top block 20 to move toward the other side wall, and then the auxiliary rotating wheel 21 on the side top block 20 contacts the other side wall, and then the circular body 11 is moved by the rotation of the rotating wheel 47, making the overall movement of the equipment more stable.
[0025] Example 2 like Figure 1 to Figure 6 As shown, based on the same concept as the above-mentioned embodiment 1, this embodiment further proposes that the rotating shaft includes a steering motor 51 and a steering shaft 54, the steering motor 51 is installed inside the steering slot 15, the output end of the steering motor 51 is connected to a coaxially arranged connecting shaft 52 through a coupling, one end of the connecting shaft 52 is fixedly connected to a steering main gear 53, the steering shaft 54 is rotatably installed inside the steering slot 15, a steering sub-gear 55 is fixedly sleeved on the outer circumference of the steering shaft 54, the steering main gear 53 is meshed with the steering sub-gear 55, and steering wheels 56 are installed at both ends of the steering shaft 54. Through the arrangement of the steering mechanism 5, the steering motor 51 and other structures, the arrangement of the steering mechanism 5 provides the device with the ability to perform angle offset in a limited space, the steering main gear 53 is driven by the steering motor 51, and then the steering shaft 54 and the steering wheel 56 are driven to adjust the angle, so that the equipment can easily turn in a complex and narrow space, thereby improving the flexibility and coverage of patrol.
[0026] In this embodiment, the steering mechanism 5 can be turned on during the movement of the device. The start of the steering mechanism 5 causes the steering motor 51 to rotate. The rotation of the steering motor 51 causes the steering main gear 53 to rotate. The steering main gear 53 drives the steering shaft 54 to rotate by meshing with the steering sub-gear 55. The rotation of the steering shaft 54 causes the steering wheel 56 to rotate at an angle, thereby causing the movement of the main mechanism 1 to be angularly offset. Example 3 like Figure 3~Figure 4As shown, based on the same concept as the above-mentioned embodiment 1, this embodiment further proposes that the monitoring mechanism 3 includes a servo motor 31, a circular frame 34 and a plurality of auxiliary balls 36. The servo motor 31 is installed inside the circular body 11. The output end of the servo motor 31 is connected to a coaxially arranged transmission shaft 32 through a coupling. A meshing gear 33 is fixedly connected to the top of the transmission shaft 32. The circular frame 34 is rotatably installed inside the circular body 11. An internal gear 35 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular frame 34. The meshing gear 33 meshes with the internal gear 35.

Through the arrangement of the monitoring mechanism 3, the monitoring head 37 and other structures, the monitoring mechanism 3 is equipped with the monitoring head 37, which can perform all-round monitoring of the front and back of the equipment. At the same time, the start of the servo motor 31 causes the transmission shaft 32 and the meshing gear 33 to rotate, thereby driving the circular frame 34 and the monitoring head 37 to perform angular displacement, thereby realizing flexible adjustment of the monitoring angle and ensuring monitoring without blind spots in a limited space.
[0027] In this embodiment, during the movement of the equipment, inspection is carried out through the monitoring mechanism 3, and a monitoring head 37 is provided on the monitoring mechanism 3. The monitoring head 37 can monitor the front and back of the equipment. During the monitoring process, the servo motor 31 can be turned on. The electric start of the servo motor 31 causes the transmission shaft 32 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission shaft 32 causes the meshing gear 33 to rotate. The meshing gear 33 drives the circular frame 34 to rotate by meshing with the internal gear 35, thereby causing the angle of the monitoring head 37 to be displaced, so that the moving position of the monitoring head 37 can be adjusted.
