[0034] Embodiment 1

[0035] Figure 1 An embodiment of a stair climbing transport robot of the present application is shown, see Figure 1 In this embodiment, the stair-climbing transport robot includes: a vehicle body 1, two sets of track assemblies 2 respectively arranged on both sides of the vehicle body 1 for movement, and a lifting assembly 3 arranged on one end of the vehicle body 1 for movement.

[0036] Among them, see Figure 1The lifting component 3 includes a telescopic member 31 disposed in the vehicle body 1, and at least one moving wheel 32 suspended under the vehicle body 1. The movable end of the telescopic member 31 extends to the bottom of the vehicle body 1 and is connected to the rotating shaft of each moving wheel 32, driving the movable end of the telescopic member 31 to extend and retract along the direction of the moving wheel 32 away from or close to the vehicle body 1, so as to change the distance from each moving wheel 32 to the bottom surface of the vehicle body 1. In this way, the height of the stair-climbing transport robot moving to one end during the movement is changed, thereby assisting the stair-climbing transport robot to complete the process of going up and down stairs. And this structure is hidden at the bottom of the stair-climbing transport robot, which can prevent the lifting component 3 from touching the surrounding people or objects during the movement of the equipment.

[0037] Further, see Figure 1 The tops of the two track assemblies 2 on the side close to each other are connected to the side wall of the vehicle body 1, and the bottom surface of each track assembly 2 exceeds the bottom surface of the vehicle body 1 by a preset distance to prevent the bottom surface of the vehicle body 1 from touching obstacles. The telescopic member 31 and each moving wheel 32 are located between the two track assemblies 2 to prevent the bottom surface of the vehicle body 1 from touching obstacles, while concealing the lifting assembly 3.

[0038] Further, see Figure 2 The telescopic member 31 is a structure in which a steering gear 311 is connected to a support arm 312. The steering gear 311 is arranged inside the vehicle body 1. An opening is arranged at the bottom of the vehicle body 1. The working end of the steering gear 311 is connected to one end of the support arm 312. The other end of the support arm 312 extends through the opening to the bottom surface of the vehicle body 1 and is vertically connected to the middle part of a round rod 313. The side wall of the round rod 313 is sleeved with four moving wheels 32. The axis of the round rod 313 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the vehicle body 1 to ensure that the vehicle body 1 can still move when one end is lifted.

[0039] In this embodiment, when transporting items between floors, the items can be placed on the vehicle body 1, and the two crawler assemblies 2 can be driven to move the vehicle body 1; when the stair-climbing transport robot needs to climb stairs, the movable end of the telescopic member 31 is controlled to extend and raise the head end of the vehicle body 1, so that the bottom of the two crawler assemblies 2 adjacent to the head end of the vehicle body 1 can be overlapped to the low-position steps and the subsequent high-position steps; when the stair-climbing transport robot needs to go down the stairs, the head end of the initial vehicle body 1 is suspended above the inclined surface of the stairs and is not unbalanced, and the control The movable end of the telescopic member 31 extends and makes the moving wheel 32 contact with the step. When the vehicle body 1 continues to move, the movable end of the telescopic member 31 is controlled to retract and the head end of the vehicle body 1 slowly falls, so that the bottom of the two crawler assemblies 2 adjacent to the head end of the vehicle body 1 can be overlapped with the high step and the subsequent low step. In this way, the process of the stair-climbing transport robot going up or down the stairs can be completed, and the structure is hidden at the bottom of the stair-climbing transport robot, which can prevent the lifting assembly 3 from touching the surrounding people or objects during the movement of the equipment.

[0040] Embodiment 2

[0041] In order to enable the stair climbing transport robot to move on the stair slope, based on the above embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The crawler assembly 2 includes at least two first rollers 21 and at least two second rollers 22 which are arranged in parallel and linearly, and a crawler ring 23 which is sleeved outside each first roller 21 and each second roller 22;

[0042] Among them, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first roller 21 supports the inner top surface of the track ring 23, and the second roller 22 supports the inner bottom surface of the track ring 23. The inner top surface length of the track ring 23 is greater than the inner bottom surface length, so that the track ring 23 forms an inverted trapezoidal ring, so that the stair-climbing transport robot can move on non-planar structures, especially stair structures.

[0043] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The track assembly 2 also includes a motor 24 and a connecting plate 25. One end of each first roller 21 close to the lifting assembly 3 extends into the interior of the vehicle body 1 and is coaxially connected to the rotating shaft of a motor 24. One end of each second roller 22 close to the lifting assembly 3 is rotatably connected to one end of a connecting plate 25. The other end of each connecting plate 25 is connected to the side wall of the vehicle body 1. At the same time, each motor 24 is controlled to do work to drive each first roller 21 to rotate around its own axis, thereby driving the track ring 23 to rotate around its axis, and then driving the vehicle body 1 to move.

[0044] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The track assembly 2 also includes an outer gear ring 26. The outer side wall of each first roller 21 and the outer side wall of each second roller 22 are sleeved with at least one outer gear ring 26. The inner wall of the track ring 23 is provided with a tooth pattern adapted to each outer gear ring 26. Each outer gear ring 26 is gear-engaged with the inner wall of the track ring 23 to ensure that the track ring 23 will not slip during the rotation of each first roller 21 around its own axis.

[0045] In this embodiment, each motor 24 of the two track assemblies 2 is controlled to work, so that the two track rings 23 can be driven to rotate around their own axes respectively; when the two track rings 23 rotate in the same direction and at the same frequency, the stair-climbing transport robot can move in a straight line; when the two track rings 23 rotate in the same direction and at different frequencies, the stair-climbing transport robot can turn during the movement; when the two track rings 23 rotate in different directions and at the same frequency, the stair-climbing transport robot can turn on the spot; in this way, the stair-climbing transport robot can move in a more complex environment.

[0046] Embodiment 3

[0047] In order to make the stair climbing transport robot more convenient to use, based on the above embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The stair-climbing transport robot also includes a power supply mechanism.

[0048] Among them, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The power supply mechanism 24 includes a charging pile 41 and a battery 42 arranged inside the vehicle body 1; the charging pile 41 is provided with a flat support plate 411 and a baffle 412 standing on one side of the support plate 411, and a charging socket 413 is provided on the side of the baffle 412 adjacent to the support plate 411, and a side wall of the vehicle body 1 moving toward one end is provided with a charging connector 414 connected to the battery 42 and adapted to the charging socket 413, and the charging connector 414 is inserted into the charging socket 413 to charge the battery 42, and power various electrical equipment of the stair climbing transport robot through the battery 42.

[0049] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The stair-climbing transport robot also includes a cargo box 5 arranged on the vehicle body 1. The cargo box 5 is provided with a hollow cavity 51. The top of the cargo box 5 is connected to the cavity 51 and a box cover 52 is hinged. The cavity 51 of the cargo box 5 is used to hold items, and the box cover 52 can prevent items from falling out of the cargo box 5 during stair-climbing transportation.

[0050] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The stair-climbing transport robot also includes a human-machine interaction device 6, which is provided with a touch screen 61 and a speaker 62 installed on the top of the cargo box 5. The touch screen 61 is used to display icons or texts, and the operator can input commands to the stair-climbing transport robot by touching the displayed icons or texts on the touch screen 61, and the speaker 62 is used to broadcast voice information.

[0051] In this embodiment, the stair-climbing transport robot is provided with a charging pile 41, and can move to the charging pile 41 to charge when the power is insufficient; at the same time, a cargo box 5 is provided to place the items to be transported, and the items will not fall out of the cargo box 5 during transportation; in addition, a touch screen 61 and a speaker 62 are provided on the cargo box 5, and while inputting instructions to the stair-climbing transport robot, the touch screen 61 can display images or text information to the operator and broadcast voice. This improves the convenience of using the stair-climbing transport robot.

[0052] Embodiment 4

[0053] In order to adapt the stair-climbing transport robot to different application scenarios, based on the above embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The stair-climbing transport robot also includes an information collection mechanism 7.

[0054] Among them, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The information collection mechanism 7 is provided with a pressure sensor 71 , an infrared sensor 72 , a laser radar 73 , and a real-sense depth camera 74 .

[0055] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 At least one pressure sensor 71 is provided between the cargo box 5 and the vehicle body 1. By analyzing the detection value of the pressure sensor 71, the weight of the items in the cargo box 5 can be known, so as to remind the operator according to the set load-bearing upper limit of the stair-climbing transport robot to avoid the stair-climbing transport robot being crushed due to overloading or affecting its service life.

[0056] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 At least one infrared sensor 72 is provided at both ends of the bottom surface of the vehicle body 1 in its moving direction. The infrared sensor 72 is used to measure the distance from the bottom surface of the vehicle body 1 to the ground or the step plane. By calculating and analyzing the data detected by each infrared sensor 72, the body position state of the vehicle body 1 during the movement process can be known, and then the telescopic length of the active end of the telescopic member 31 is adjusted according to the preset parameters.

[0057] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The laser radar 73 is arranged on the cargo box 5. The laser radar 73 emits laser and measures the time for the reflected light to return. In this way, the three-dimensional data of the surrounding environment is measured, and then the data is processed by the algorithm to generate a high-precision three-dimensional point cloud map, which is used for SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) to achieve accurate autonomous navigation.

[0058] Further, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The real-sense depth camera 74 is installed on the side wall of the cargo box 5 near one end of the lifting component 3.

The stair-climbing transport robot obtains data on its body position, location, and surrounding environment based on information obtained from the infrared sensor 72, the lidar 73, and the real-sense depth camera 74. The stair-climbing transport robot performs different actions based on these data, including automatic navigation, obstacle avoidance, and going up and down stairs, so that the stair-climbing transport robot can adapt to different environments.

[0060] Embodiment 5
