[0040] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with embodiments. Each example is provided by way of explanation of the present application and does not limit the present application. In fact, it will be clear to those skilled in the art that modifications and variations may be made in the present application without departing from the scope or spirit of the present application. For example, a feature shown or described as a part of an embodiment may be used in another embodiment to produce yet another embodiment. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the embodiments of the present invention should belong to the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0041] With the rapid development of intelligent technology, inspection technology has gradually developed towards automation and intelligence, resulting in wheeled and tracked inspection robots, robot dogs, etc. that move on the road, as well as inspection drones based on flying airspace.

[0042] For ground inspection equipment, in indoor environments, inspection vehicles, robot dogs, and robots need to share channels with staff and other mobile equipment. There is a situation of cross-operation with personnel and vehicles, which makes collisions and interferences extremely likely to occur. Moreover, the indoor ground environment is complex and may contain various obstacles, uneven areas, narrow passages, etc., which increase the navigation difficulty of the inspection equipment. In order to cope with this complex indoor environment, ground inspection equipment requires highly developed artificial intelligence technology to be able to perceive and process environmental changes in real time, and perform path planning and obstacle avoidance.

[0043] For flying inspection equipment such as drones, due to the limitation of battery capacity, the hovering time is usually short. Frequent battery replacement or charging causes a lack of continuity in inspections, and long-term inspection tasks cannot be carried out. Moreover, in a small confined space, drone flight has a high risk of collision, and once a malfunction occurs, it is likely to lose the ability to hover in the air, and may also cause damage to buildings, equipment, and personnel.

[0044] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application proposes a wheel-axle floating cabin modular confined space inspection airship - wheel-axle floating cabin indoor inspection airship, which is different from conventional indoor drones, airships and other equipment suspended in the air. The wheel-axle floating cabin indoor inspection airship uses buoyancy airbags as tires, and the buoyancy is greater than its own weight. The buoyancy tires are in close contact with the top surface of the confined space to form a wheel train drive friction pair. Under relatively flat and regular top surface conditions, the tires on both sides are driven by hollow stepper motors and travel on the top surface of the indoor space in a wheeled vehicle travel control mode. When the tires on both sides rotate synchronously, the overall forward and backward movements of the equipment are completed, and the speed difference of the tires on both sides completes the yaw and steering movements; vector fans are installed on both sides of the buoyancy tires. When encountering ups and downs on the top surface of the indoor space, obstacles, etc., it can fly briefly to form a jumping action to complete obstacle avoidance; at the same time, the inspection airship can carry visible light, non-visible light cameras, gas sensors, laser radars, communication equipment, central processors and other equipment to complete the autonomous navigation and inspection operations of the airship.

[0045] In this way, the problem of efficient and stable operation of unmanned inspection equipment in confined spaces can be effectively solved. The characteristics of long-term airborne and large-load airships can be used to realize long-duration flight inspections of unmanned inspection equipment, solve the navigation and control problems of traditional ground inspection equipment in complex ground environments, and simplify obstacle avoidance and control methods. The wheeled vehicle form is formed by using the wheeled drive method and the top surface of the confined space, which is more efficient than the traditional airship propeller form. The vector fans on both sides can be used to perform short flights to form jumping movements to adapt to various top surface conditions. At the same time, according to the mission load requirements, the wheel-axle floating cabin indoor inspection airship can be used as the basic module, and multiple devices can be connected in series to form a multi-wheel drive device to further improve the load capacity.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 16 As shown, the axle floating cabin indoor inspection airship includes: a cabin 100, a buoyancy tire 200 and a vector fan 300. The buoyancy tire 200 is mounted on the cabin 100 through a tire bracket 400, and the vector fan 300 is synchronously mounted on the tire bracket 400. A power drive unit, a detection control unit, a power source (power battery), etc. are arranged in the cabin 100 to realize power transmission and control of the buoyancy tire 200 and the vector fan 300, as well as survey and collection of field data.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the cabin 100 adopts a shell structure and is made of carbon fiber material to effectively reduce the weight of the cabin 100. The shell structure of the cabin 100 is divided into two upper and lower cavities by a partition, wherein the upper cavity is the power cabin 101, and the lower cavity is the equipment cabin 102. The power cabin 101 is installed with a hollow stepper motor 1, a power supply, etc. through bolt fasteners, and the equipment cabin 102 is installed with a detection control unit, such as a gas sensor, a laser radar, a communication device, a central processing unit, etc. A video acquisition unit 500 (which can carry a visible light, a non-visible light camera, a pan / tilt, etc.) is also installed at the bottom of the cabin 100. The video acquisition unit 500 can rotate 360 ​​degrees for multi-spectral observation.

[0048] In the present application, there are two buoyancy tires 200, and the two buoyancy tires 200 are independently driven by two hollow stepper motors 1, and the two middle stepper motors are symmetrically arranged in the power cabin 101; at the same time, the two independently driven buoyancy tires 200 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cabin 100, and the tire bracket 400 with a symmetrical structural design is installed on the cabin 100; two vector fans 300 are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the two buoyancy tires 200. Thus, through the completely symmetrical structural design and layout, the center of gravity of the inspection airship is located on its symmetry plane, which effectively improves the stability control and flight of the inspection airship.

[0049] The hollow transmission shaft 3 of the buoyancy tire 200 is connected to the output end of the reduction box of the hollow stepper motor 1. Since the buoyancy of the buoyancy tire 200 is greater than its own weight, the buoyancy tire 200 is in close contact with the top surface of the confined space to form a wheel train drive friction pair. Under the condition of a relatively flat and regular top surface, the buoyancy tire 200 can rotate around the hollow transmission shaft 3 driven by the hollow stepper motor 1 to walk on the top surface of the confined space. The tires on both sides are driven by the hollow stepper motor 1 and travel on the top surface of the indoor space in a wheeled vehicle travel control mode. When the tires on both sides rotate synchronously, the overall forward and backward movements of the equipment are completed, and the speed difference of the tires on both sides completes the yaw and steering movements. And the buoyancy tire 200 can automatically inflate and / or adjust the buoyancy. Specifically, a compressed helium gas storage tank is provided in the cabin 100, and the compressed helium gas storage tank automatically inflates and / or adjusts the buoyancy of the buoyancy tire 200 through a hose and a hollow transmission shaft 3. Among them, one end of the hollow transmission shaft 3 connected to the hollow stepping motor 1 is threadedly connected with a high-speed rotating joint 2, and the high-speed rotating joint 2 is connected to a compressed helium gas storage tank through a hose; automatic air replenishment and / or buoyancy adjustment are performed into the buoyancy tire through the radial opening on the hollow transmission shaft 3 through the compressed helium gas storage tank and the high-speed rotating joint 2.

[0050] In a specific example, the buoyancy tire 200 uses a cylindrical airbag with a diameter D of 0.95 m and a length L of 5 m. The volume V of the cylindrical airbag is:

[0051]

[0052] The cylindrical airbag is filled with helium, and the density of helium is ρ h =0.1785kg / m 3 , the air density is ρ k =1.225kg / m 3 , then the buoyancy of the cylindrical airbag is the mass of air that can be displaced by the volume of helium, that is, according to the formula:

[0053] F f =(ρ k -ρ h )×V≈3.7kg

[0054] Determine the buoyancy F of the buoyancy tire 200 f , that is, the buoyancy tire 200 can provide about 3.7 kg of buoyancy.

[0055] After ensuring that it can carry 2kg (F requirement of airship load) f =3.7kg>F=2kg, meeting the load requirements), in order to ensure that the buoyancy tire 200 has sufficient strength, tensile resistance, puncture resistance and appropriate thickness, the cabin 100, the tire bracket 400, and the hollow drive shaft 3 are all made of carbon fiber material to effectively reduce the structural weight; the buoyancy tire 200 uses polyester fiber or polyethylene to ensure that the cylindrical airbag has sufficient tensile strength to withstand the load, as well as sufficient tensile strength and puncture resistance.

[0056] Here, first, according to the formula:

[0057]

[0058] Calculate the surface area A of the cylindrical airbag.

[0059] Then, the thickness T of the cylindrical airbag is calculated according to the tensile strength σ of the material and the surface area A of the cylindrical airbag. Specifically, according to the formula:

[0060]

[0061] Among them, for high-strength polyester fibers (such as Dacron), its tensile strength is 1500MPa, elongation is 15%, and density is 1.38g / cm 3 For ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), its tensile strength is 1500MPa, elongation is 10% to 15%, and density is 0.97g / cm 3 When the cylindrical airbag is made of high-strength polyester fiber (such as Dacron), the thickness T of the cylindrical airbag is:

[0062]

[0063] Similarly, when the cylindrical airbag is made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), the thickness of the cylindrical airbag is T≈0.8mm. That is to say, whether the buoyancy tire 200 uses high-strength polyester fiber (such as Dacron) or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), it can ensure that it can carry a load of 2kg, and the film thickness of its cylindrical airbag is 0.8mm. That is to say, under the premise of meeting the load of 2kg, the cylindrical airbag uses ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) or ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), both of which have strong tensile and puncture resistance.

[0064] In the present application, the tire bracket 400 adopts an inverted trapezoidal structure with an opening at the upper end, the bottom surface of the inverted trapezoidal structure is connected to the bottom surface of the equipment compartment 102, and the upper end opening of the inverted trapezoidal structure is rotatably mounted on the hollow transmission shaft 3. Among them, a buckle-type mounting ear plate 401 extends upward from the upper end opening of the inverted trapezoidal structure, one end of the hollow transmission shaft 3 is rotatably mounted on the mounting ear plate 401, and the other end is connected to the output end of the hollow stepping motor 1.

[0065] Specifically, the mounting ear plate 401 is provided with a bearing mounting hole 411 and a motor mounting hole 421 in the vertical direction. A rotating bearing is mounted in the bearing mounting hole 411, and a connecting flange 5 is directly connected to the rotating bearing; the hollow transmission shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the mounting ear plate 401 through the connecting flange 5. Here, the connecting flange 5 is connected to the end face flange of the buoyancy tire 200, and a groove matching the hollow transmission shaft 3 is provided on the end face facing the buoyancy tire 200, and a rotating shaft is provided on the end face facing away from the buoyancy tire 200, and the rotating shaft is connected to the mounting ear plate 401 through a rotating bearing. Thus, by connecting the connecting flange 5 to the flange of the end face of the buoyancy tire 200, while realizing the rotating friction pair of the buoyancy tire 200 through the rotating bearing, the end face of the hollow transmission shaft 3 is sealed by the groove on the end face of the connecting flange 5, effectively preventing the gas in the buoyancy tire 200 from being lost to the outside through the hollow transmission shaft 3. It should be noted that a plurality of studs are respectively provided on both end surfaces of the buoyancy tire 200, wherein the plurality of studs on one end surface are flange-connected to the connecting flange 5 through fastening nuts; and the plurality of studs on the other end surface are flange-connected to the flange plate 4 (close to the equipment compartment 102) provided on the hollow transmission shaft 3 through fastening nuts.

[0066] A frameless torque motor 6 is tightly mounted in the motor mounting hole 421, and the output end of the frameless torque motor 6 is directly connected to the vector fan 300, driving the vector fan 300 to rotate, and controlling the angle of the vector fan 300 to adjust the flight attitude of the airship. Specifically, the precise angle control of the vector fan 300 is adjusted by the frameless torque motor 6, and the precise vector control of the angle of the vector fan 300 is achieved under the operation of the flight control system to complete the adjustment of the flight attitude of the airship. Thus, through the vector fans 300 on both sides, a short flight can be performed to form a jumping action to adapt to various top surface conditions. At the same time, the inclination angle of the vector fan 300 can be adjusted so that the vector fan 300 is facing the ventilation airflow in the confined space, and the vector fan 300 uses the ventilation airflow to generate electricity by itself, and the power supply is reversely charged.

[0067] The inspection airship of the present application combines the characteristics of traditional airships with those of vehicles, effectively solving the problem of efficient and stable operation of unmanned inspection equipment in confined spaces, and utilizing the advantages of long hovering and large load-bearing capacity of the inspection airship to achieve long-duration flight inspections, thereby solving the navigation and control problems of traditional ground inspection equipment in the face of complex ground environments, simplifying obstacle avoidance and control methods, and utilizing a wheeled drive method and the top surface of a confined space to form a wheeled vehicle form, which is more efficient than the traditional airship propeller form; at the same time, through the vector fans 300 on both sides, short-term flight can be used to form jumping movements to adapt to various top surface conditions.

[0068] In addition, multiple buoyancy tire 200 models can be connected in series to form a multi-wheel drive device to further improve the load capacity of the inspection airship. Specifically, two independent cabins 100 are connected through a series assembly 600, and each independent cabin 100 is respectively equipped with a buoyancy tire 200 and a vector fan 300, so that the airship is driven in series.

[0069] Among them, connection interfaces and wire holes are respectively provided on the front and rear covers of the power cabin 101 of the cabin 100, and the two ends of the series assembly 600 are respectively connected to the connection interface on the rear cover of an independent cabin 100 and the connection interface on the front cover of another independent cabin 100 through fasteners, so as to realize the series connection of the two cabins 100. Buoyancy tires 200 and vector fans 300 are respectively equipped on the two independent cabins 100, which further effectively improves the load capacity of the airship.

[0070] In a specific example, the series assembly 600 includes: a first series connector 601, a second series connector 602 and a stabilizing connecting rod 603; the first series connector 601 and the second series connector 602 adopt a plug-in structure, and one end of the first series connector 601 and one end of the second series connector 602 are plug-in connected, and the other end of the first series connector 601 and the other end of the second series connector 602 are flange-connected to the connection interface on the rear cover plate of an independent cabin 100 and the connection interface on the front cover plate of another independent cabin 100 respectively using a flange structure; the two ends of the stabilizing connecting rod 603 pass through the flange plate of the first series connector 601 and the flange plate of the second series connector 602 respectively, and are fixed to the rear cover plate of an independent cabin 100 and the front cover plate of another independent cabin 100 by fasteners.

[0071] The flanges of the first series joint 601 and the second series joint 602 are respectively provided with special-shaped countersunk holes; correspondingly, the middle part of the stable connecting rod 603 is a special-shaped rod, and the two ends are threaded rods. Among them, the special-shaped rod is inserted into the special-shaped countersunk hole, and the threaded rod passes through the flange and is fixed to the front and rear cover plates by fastening nuts. Thus, the anti-torsion performance of the series assembly 600 is effectively enhanced through the cooperation of the special-shaped countersunk hole and the special-shaped rod.

[0072] In this embodiment, the first series connector 601 and the second series connector 602 are both provided with wire holes along the axial direction, and then, the power supply, control, detection and other components in the two independent cabins 100 are connected by wire harnesses through the wire holes, so as to realize coordinated control of the buoyancy tires 200, vector fans 300, detection control units and the like correspondingly equipped in the two independent cabins 100, thereby effectively improving the control accuracy and detection accuracy of the airship series drive.
