Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of park inspection, and in particular to a patrol robot used for park inspection. Background Art

[0002] A park refers to an area within a certain geographical scope that concentrates on the construction and development of a certain industry, specific field or specific function according to a certain plan and management. The park can be divided into industrial parks and ecological parks. With the development of science and technology and the popularization of intelligence, the work tasks that originally required people to be completed on site in person can now be completed by people only by operating the equipment endowed with intelligent technology. The inspection robot is one of the commonly used equipment for park management. It can be used for automated inspection and monitoring of the park or for cleaning up garbage in the park.

[0003] The existing park patrol robots can also clean up the garbage in the park during work. When the camera probe at the front end of the robot detects the presence of garbage on the road, the shovel at the front end of the robot will shovel the garbage into the internal collection box. Since it is difficult to separate liquid garbage from solid garbage, when the subsequent staff handles it, the liquid garbage and solid garbage will be mixed for a long time and will produce a lot of odor, which will cause certain difficulties for the subsequent cleaning work, increase the subsequent cleaning burden of the staff, and reduce the overall cleaning efficiency.

[0004] In summary, the above-mentioned patrol robots have difficulty separating garbage when cleaning it, resulting in a large amount of odor generated after a long period of mixing of liquid garbage and solid garbage, which increases the subsequent cleaning burden of the staff and reduces the overall cleaning efficiency. Summary of the invention

[0005] Based on this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a patrol robot for park inspections to solve the technical problem that the patrol robot has difficulty separating garbage when cleaning it, which increases the subsequent cleaning burden of the staff and reduces the overall cleaning efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a patrol robot for park inspection, comprising a shell and a probe assembly, wherein the probe assembly is located at the top of the shell, an opening is provided at the front end of the shell, a shovel plate is rotatably arranged in the opening, and a first conveying mechanism is arranged in the shovel plate, one end of the shovel plate is connected to a first transmission mechanism, and a threaded rod is meshed and connected to one side of the first transmission mechanism through a bevel gear, and a slide plate cooperating with the threaded rod is slidably arranged in the vertical direction in the shell; The slide plate is provided with a second conveying mechanism, which is used for conveying garbage, and an array of filter holes is provided on the second conveying mechanism. A discharge port is provided at the top on the other side of the opening in the shell, and the discharge port itself is provided in an opening shape, and a collection box is installed at the discharge port on the outer wall of the shell.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the slide plate in the shell is driven to move downward through the cooperation of the transmission mechanism and the bevel gear. At this time, the garbage shoveled in by the shovel plate will fall on the second conveying mechanism, and the solid garbage and liquid garbage will be separated through the filter holes on the second conveying mechanism. After the garbage is cleaned, the shovel plate itself will reset and rotate to seal its opening. In this process, the slide plate is reset and slid, so that the slide plate and the discharge port are at the same height. Then, under the action of the second conveying mechanism, the solid garbage is discharged into the collection box through the discharge port.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the outer wall of the threaded rod is slidably threadedly connected with a threaded sleeve, and one side of the threaded sleeve is connected to the slide plate.

[0009] Preferably, the first transmission mechanism is engaged with the bevel gear to drive the threaded rod to rotate, thereby enabling the threaded sleeve to slide on the outer wall of the threaded rod, and in this process, the slide plate slides up and down along with the threaded sleeve.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that a slide groove is symmetrically arranged inside the shell, and the threaded sleeve and the threaded rod are both located in the slide groove.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the sliding stability of the threaded sleeve inside is ensured by the action of the sliding groove, and the threaded sleeve itself is prevented from being driven by the threaded rod to rotate, thereby further improving the stability of the overall adjustment of the device.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that one end of the first transmission mechanism is connected to a positive bevel gear, and a side bevel gear is meshed on one side thereof, and the top of the side bevel gear is connected to a threaded rod.

[0013] Preferably, during the rotation of the first transmission mechanism, the positive bevel gear at one end is driven to rotate, and through the meshing of the positive bevel gear and the side bevel gear, the threaded rod at the top of the side bevel gear is driven to rotate.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that an array of tooth blocks is provided in the slide groove, and a fixed gear is meshed on one side of the threaded sleeve, one end of the fixed gear is connected to a second transmission mechanism, the other end of the second transmission mechanism is connected to a rotating member, and the rotating member itself is located inside the second conveying mechanism.

[0015] Preferably, during the process of the threaded sleeve returning to slide upward under the action of the threaded rod, the tooth block will cause the fixed gear on one side of the threaded sleeve to rotate. During this process, the rotating part in the second conveying mechanism is rotated under the action of the second transmission mechanism. During this process, the solid garbage will shake violently when it slides upward through the second conveying mechanism, thereby further improving the separation effect of solid garbage and liquid garbage and improving the collection environment inside the outer shell.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that the first transmission mechanism includes a driving disk, a transmission belt and a driven disk, the driving disk and the driven disk are connected by a transmission belt, one end of the driving disk is connected to a shovel plate, and one end of the driven disk is connected to a positive bevel gear, and the diameter of the driving disk in the first transmission mechanism is greater than the diameter of its driven disk.

[0017] Preferably, when the shovel plate rotates through the driving assembly, the active disk will be driven to rotate, and the driven disk will follow the rotation under the action of the transmission belt, thereby causing the positive bevel gear to rotate. Since the diameter of the active disk in the first transmission mechanism is larger than the diameter of the driven disk, when the shovel plate drives the active disk to rotate a certain angle, the driven disk will drive the positive bevel gear to rotate several circles, thereby facilitating the subsequent adjustment of the slide plate.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that a driving component is provided at the opening in the shell, and the output end of the driving component is connected to the shovel plate, and the driving component is electrically connected to the probe component.

[0019] Preferably, when the probe assembly detects the presence of garbage on the road ahead, the driving assembly is started through the controller, so that the shovel plate at the output end of the driving assembly rotates at a certain angle, thereby facilitating the shoveling of the garbage during subsequent movement.

[0020] The present invention is further configured such that the bottoms of the collecting box and the shell are both provided with discharge ports, and a control switch is provided at the discharge port.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment, the discharge port facilitates subsequent staff to collect and process solid waste and liquid waste, and the control switch prevents leakage during the overall movement of the shell.

[0022] The present invention is further configured such that the shovel plate and the opening of the shell are sealed.

[0023] Preferably, during the subsequent resetting of the shovel plate, the sealing arrangement can prevent some liquid waste from leaking through the opening.

[0024] In summary, the present invention mainly has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention has a shovel plate rotatably arranged at the front end of the housing. When the probe assembly detects garbage on the road surface, the shovel plate will be driven to rotate. In this process, the transmission mechanism and the bevel gear cooperate to drive the slide plate in the housing to move downward. At this time, the garbage shoveled in by the shovel plate will fall on the second conveying mechanism. The solid garbage and liquid garbage are separated through the filter holes on the second conveying mechanism. This prevents the liquid garbage and solid garbage from mixing for a long time to produce a large amount of odor, thereby reducing the burden of subsequent garbage treatment on the staff; 2. The present invention provides a collection box on one side of the housing, and a discharge port is provided at the collection box. After the garbage is cleaned, the shovel plate itself will reset and rotate to seal its opening. In this process, the slide plate is reset and slid, so that the slide plate and the discharge port are at the same height. Then, under the action of the second conveying mechanism, the solid garbage is discharged into the collection box through the discharge port. In this process, the solid garbage and the liquid garbage are collected separately, so that too much solid garbage is prevented from accumulating on the second conveying mechanism, and the cleaning efficiency of subsequent staff is accelerated; 3. The present invention provides an array of tooth blocks in the slide groove, which drives the fixed gear to rotate when the threaded sleeve slides under the action of the threaded rod, and the rotating part in the second conveying mechanism rotates rapidly under the action of the second transmission mechanism. In this process, the solid garbage will shake violently when it slides upward through the second conveying mechanism, thereby further improving the separation effect of solid garbage and liquid garbage and improving the collection environment in the shell.

[0027] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0028] The following describes an embodiment of the present invention based on its overall structure.

[0029] First embodiment: See also Figure 1-7 A patrol robot for park inspection shown in the figure includes a shell 1, a probe assembly 2, a shovel board 3, a transmission mechanism, a cleaning mechanism and a collection mechanism, wherein the probe assembly 2 is located at the top of the shell 1, and a driving assembly is provided at the opening in the shell 1, and the output end of the driving assembly is connected to the shovel board 3, and the driving assembly and the probe assembly 2 are electrically connected. When the probe assembly 2 detects that there is garbage on the road ahead, the driving assembly will be started by the controller, so that the shovel board 3 at the output end of the driving assembly rotates at a certain angle, during which the bottom of the shovel board 3 contacts the ground, and the end face of the shovel board 3 is set in a pointed shape, so that it is convenient to shovel the garbage on the ground during the subsequent movement, and then discharge it into the shell 1 under the action of the first conveying mechanism 4, and the first transmission mechanism 10 on one side will be driven to rotate during the rotation of the shovel board 3; Since one end of the first transmission mechanism 10 is connected to a positive bevel gear 12, and a side bevel gear 11 is meshed therewith, wherein the top of the side bevel gear 11 is connected to the threaded rod 9, during the rotation of the first transmission mechanism 10, the positive bevel gear 12 at one end will be driven to rotate, and the meshing of the positive bevel gear 12 and the side bevel gear 11 is realized, so that the threaded rod 9 at the top of the side bevel gear 11 is driven to rotate, and the outer wall of the threaded rod 9 is connected with a threaded sleeve 14 with a sliding thread, and one side of the threaded sleeve 14 is connected to the slide plate 7, and the threaded rod 9 is driven to rotate under the meshing of the first transmission mechanism 10 and the bevel gear, thereby realizing that the threaded sleeve 14 slides on the outer wall of the threaded rod 9, and in this process, the slide plate 7 slides downward along with the threaded sleeve 14, and in this process, the slide plate 7 moves to the bottom end of one side of the shovel plate 3, and a first conveying mechanism 4 is provided in the shovel plate 3, and the solid garbage and liquid garbage are discharged to the slide plate 7 in the shell 1 under the action of the first conveying mechanism 4; Since the slide plate 7 is provided with a second conveying mechanism 5, the second conveying mechanism 5 is used for conveying garbage, and an array of filter holes is provided on the second conveying mechanism 5, through which solid garbage and liquid garbage are separated, thereby preventing the liquid garbage and solid garbage from mixing for a long time and generating a large amount of odor, thereby reducing the burden of subsequent garbage processing by the staff. After the garbage is cleaned, the shovel plate 3 itself will flip and reset, and during this process, the first transmission mechanism 10 will reverse, thereby allowing the slide plate 7 to drive the second conveying mechanism 5 to reset and slide up and down, and a discharge port 8 is provided at the top of the other side of the opening in the shell 1, and the discharge port 8 itself is provided in an opening shape, and at the same time, a collection box 6 is installed on the outer wall of the shell 1 at the discharge port 8, so that the slide plate 7 and the discharge port 8 are at the same height; Subsequently, under the action of the second conveying mechanism 5, the solid waste is discharged into the collecting box 6 through the discharge port 8. In this process, the solid waste and the liquid waste are collected separately to prevent excessive accumulation of solid waste on the second conveying mechanism 5 and speed up the cleaning efficiency of subsequent staff. The collecting box 6 and the bottom of the shell 1 are both provided with a discharge port, and a control switch is provided at the discharge port. The discharge port facilitates the subsequent staff to collect and process the solid waste and liquid waste, and the control switch prevents leakage during the overall movement of the shell 1.

[0030] In the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 7 A slide groove 13 is symmetrically arranged inside the shell 1, and the threaded sleeve 14 and the threaded rod 9 are both located in the slide groove 13. The slide groove 13 ensures the stability of the threaded sleeve 14 sliding inside, and prevents the threaded sleeve 14 from rotating due to the threaded rod 9, further improving the stability of the overall adjustment of the device. The shovel plate 3 and the opening of the shell 1 are sealed. During the subsequent resetting of the shovel plate 3, the sealing setting can prevent some liquid garbage from leaking through the opening.

[0031] In the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The first transmission mechanism 10 includes a driving disc, a transmission belt and a driven disc. One end of the driving disc is connected to the shovel plate 3, and one end of the driven disc is connected to the positive bevel gear 12. When the shovel plate 3 rotates through the driving component, the driving disc will be driven to rotate, and the driven disc will follow the rotation under the action of the transmission belt, thereby causing the positive bevel gear 12 to rotate. Since the diameter of the driving disc in the first transmission mechanism 10 is larger than the diameter of the driven disc, when the shovel plate 3 drives the driving disc to rotate a certain angle, the driven disc will drive the positive bevel gear 12 to rotate several circles, thereby facilitating the subsequent adjustment of the slide plate 7.

[0032] Second embodiment: See also Figure 8 and Fig. 9 A patrol robot for park inspection shown in the figure has an overall structure similar to that of the first embodiment, wherein an array of tooth blocks 18 is arranged in the slide groove 13, and a fixed gear 15 is meshed on one side of the threaded sleeve 14, one end of the fixed gear 15 is connected to a second transmission mechanism 16, and the other end of the second transmission mechanism 16 is connected to a rotating member 17, and the rotating member 17 itself is located inside the second conveying mechanism 5. In the process of the threaded sleeve 14 returning to slide upward under the action of the threaded rod 9, the tooth block 18 will cause the fixed gear 15 on one side of the threaded sleeve 14 to rotate, and in this process, the rotating member 17 in the second conveying mechanism 5 is rotated under the action of the second transmission mechanism 16, and in this process, the solid garbage will vibrate violently when it slides upward through the second conveying mechanism 5, thereby further improving the separation effect of solid garbage and liquid garbage, and improving the collection environment in the shell 1.

[0033] The present invention is in specific operation: when in use, the shell 1 moves toward the front end, and when the probe assembly at the top detects the presence of garbage on the front road, the shovel plate 3 will flip until one end contacts the ground. During this process, the threaded rod 9 is driven to rotate by the meshing of the first transmission mechanism 10 and the bevel gear, so that the slide plate 7 slides toward the bottom to the opening of the shell 1, and the solid garbage and liquid garbage are transported to the opening of the shell 1 by the action of the first conveying mechanism 4, and then fall onto the second conveying mechanism 5 by its own gravity. Since the second conveying mechanism 5 is provided with an array of filter holes, the liquid garbage is discharged to the bottom of the shell 1 by the action of the filter holes, while the solid garbage stays on the second conveying mechanism 5. In this process, the separation of solid garbage and liquid garbage is completed; The subsequent shovel plate 3 is reset under the action of the driving component, thereby completing the sealing of the opening at the front end of the shell 1. During this process, the first transmission mechanism 10 is reversed, thereby realizing the sliding reset of the slide plate 7 upward until the slide plate 7 itself is reset to the discharge port 8. At this time, the second conveying mechanism 5 in the slide plate 7 is flush with the discharge port 8, and then the second conveying mechanism 5 is started. Under the action of the second conveying mechanism 5, the solid waste on the top is discharged into the collection box 6 through the discharge port 8. In this process, the solid waste and liquid waste are collected separately, which prevents excessive solid waste from accumulating on the second conveying mechanism 5 and speeds up the cleaning efficiency of subsequent staff.

[0034] Although an embodiment of the present invention has been shown and described, this specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the invention. The specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions and variations to the embodiments without creative contributions as needed without departing from the principles and purpose of the present invention. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
