The information collected by the radar can be used to control the robot arm to avoid contact or collision between the robot arm and objects inside the tunnel. This application only shows the structure of a robot arm.

The present application only discloses a basic structure, and the specific structure can be based on actual needs. A number of robot arm rotation devices, robot arm telescopic devices or robot arm bending devices can be installed on the basic structure to realize actual needs.

[0056] The execution unit 5 includes an inspection device and a clamp device. The use of the inspection device can realize the detection of the inside of the tunnel and can reduce manual inspections. When the clamp device is used, it can realize the clamping of objects. In addition to the above-mentioned devices, there will be other devices, and other functions can be realized through other devices. By controlling the changes in the internal structure of the robotic arm device 2, the position of the execution unit 5 is controlled to reach the execution area, which facilitates the work of the execution unit 5. A small-sized robotic arm can be installed between the mobile end of the additional mobile device 4 and the execution unit 5 to facilitate the movement and execution of the execution unit 5.

[0057] The outer wall of the rotating drum 302 is provided with a slide rail for facilitating the movement of the moving body 401. The bottom end of the moving body 401 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the rotating drum 302 through the slide rail. At the same time, when the moving body 401 is moved between two adjacent and contacting rotating drums 302, when the movement on the two rotating drums 302 is realized by the moving device 4, the existence of the slide rail can effectively provide effective assistance to the moving device 4, and the slide rails are aligned between the two adjacent rotating drums 302. A moving component 3 is provided on each base arm. The moving device 4 can be used to move on the moving component 3, and the movement of the moving component 3 on the base arm can be controlled to adjust the position of the execution unit 5 on the base arm. Or when it is necessary to realize the execution unit 5 on different base arms, the movement between the two adjacent moving components 3 is realized by the moving device 4, so that the two adjacent moving components 3 are aligned in position, and then the slide rails on the two rotating drums 302 are aligned, and the movement of the moving device 4 on the moving component 3 is realized, so as to control the position of the moving device 4 and the execution unit 5 on the mechanical arm.

[0058] The rotating assembly 7 is started to realize the rotation of the rotating drum 302 and the execution unit 5, the output end of the No. 2 motor 701 rotates, the No. 2 gear 703 rotates, the gear ring 702 and the No. 2 gear 703 are meshed, and the No. 2 gear 703 rotates, thereby causing the rotating drum 302 to move on the moving frame 301.

[0059] The No. 1 limiting component can be coordinated with the outer wall of the rotating drum 302, and the moving end of the No. 1 moving part 402 can move back and forth. There is existing technology for the moving end of the No. 1 moving part 402, and the specific structure of the No. 1 moving part 402 is not explained here. When the No. 1 moving part 402 is moving, the position between the No. 1 limiting component and the rotating drum 302 is restricted. The moving end of the No. 1 moving part 402 moves, thereby realizing the movement of the moving body 401 through the reaction force. After the moving body 401 moves, the No. 2 limiting component realizes the position restriction between the rotating drum 302. At this time, the moving end of the No. 1 moving part 402 moves in the opposite direction, so that the moving end of the No. 1 moving part 402 returns to its original position. At this time, the No. 1 limiting component can be coordinated with the outer wall of the rotating drum 302, and the coordination and separation between the No. 2 limiting component and the outer wall of the rotating drum 302 are realized through the associated component.

[0060] The mobile end of the No. 1 moving member 402 moves, but at this time, due to the position restriction between the No. 2 restriction component and the rotating drum 302, and the existence of the associated device 8, there is no restriction between the No. 1 restriction component and the rotating drum 302, so the mobile end of the No. 1 moving member 402 can move smoothly, and then the switching of the restriction relationship between the No. 1 restriction component and the No. 2 restriction component is realized through the associated device 8. The movement of the moving body 401 on the rotating drum 302 can be realized through the above process.

[0061] After limiting component No. 1 realizes the cooperation and restriction with the outer wall of the rotating drum 302, the moving end of the moving part 402 moves at this time, and the moving end of the moving part 402 is temporarily fixed with the outer wall of the rotating drum 302 through limiting component No. 1. Therefore, the movement trend of the moving end of the moving part 402 realizes the movement of the moving device 4 on the rotating drum 302 through the reaction force, and the limiting component No. 2 is transmitted through the associated components, so that the limiting component No. 2 is temporarily fixed with the outer wall of the rotating drum 302. At this time, limiting component No. 1 will cancel the temporary fixation with the outer wall of the rotating drum 302, and the moving end of the moving part 402 moves in the opposite direction to the limiting groove position. The position of the limiting groove is set to facilitate the movement of the moving device 4 and the fixation of the moving device 4.

[0062] Since the above can only realize unidirectional movement, the internal structure of the first limiting component is designed to control the bidirectional movement of the moving device 4, such as Fig.11 As shown, the output end of the No. 3 motor 406 rotates, the turntable 407 and the cylinder rotate, the cylinder contacts the No. 1 limiting member 404 and causes the No. 1 limiting member 404 to move, and the No. 1 spring shock-absorbing damper 405 is compressed, one of the No. 1 limiting members 404 is used, and the other is not used temporarily. When reverse movement is required, the output end of the No. 3 motor 406 rotates in the opposite direction, thereby causing the other No. 1 limiting member 404 to be pushed out for use.

[0063] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the moving end of the No. 1 moving member 402 moves, and the No. 2 spring shock absorber 411 will always apply force to the fixed frame 403, thereby causing the No. 1 limiting member 404 to generate a force, so that when the No. 1 limiting member 404 moves to the limiting groove position, under the action of the No. 2 spring shock absorber 411, the No. 1 limiting member 404 and the inside of the limiting groove are in contact, and the fixed frame 403 moves downward. In the process of the fixing frame 403 moving downward, the No. 2 limiting member is driven by the associated device 8. The movable member 409 moves upward, and the reverse moving end of the movable member 402 moves. Through transmission and reaction force, the movable device 4 moves, and the moving end of the movable member 402 moves. Due to the inclined surface of the limiting member 404, the limiting member 404 moves out of the limiting groove, and the fixed frame 403 moves upward. Through the transmission of the associated device 8, the limiting member 409 moves downward, and the limiting member 409 contacts the inside of the limiting groove, thereby fixing the position of the movable device 4.

[0064] like Fig.13As shown, when the fixed frame 403 moves up, the No. 1 associated plate 801 moves up, thereby causing the rotating shaft 803 and the rotating rod 804 to rotate, causing the No. 2 associated plate 802 to move down, thereby causing the No. 2 limiting member 409 to move down. The above-mentioned upward and downward movements are only for the direction in the figure. Through the design of the associated device 8 and the linkage of the No. 1 associated plate 801 and the No. 2 associated plate 802, the rapid switching of the limiting relationship between the No. 1 limiting member 404 and the No. 2 limiting member 409 on the rotating drum 302 is realized, thereby realizing the movement and position fixation of the mobile device 4 on the rotating drum 302. The association between the rapid switching of the limiting relationship between the No. 1 limiting member 404 and the No. 2 limiting member 409 on the rotating drum 302 and the switching of the movement and position fixation of the mobile device 4 on the rotating drum 302 ensures the feasibility and practicality of the associated device 8.

[0065] The reset damping member 410 is internally provided with a spring and a damper. After the position of the sliding frame 408 changes, the reset damping member 410 can move the sliding frame 408 to its original position through the internal spring. The existence of the damper can prevent the internal spring from vibrating.

[0066] An auxiliary device is installed between the execution unit 5 and the mobile body 401, and the auxiliary device is used to assist the execution unit 5 in short-distance movement and small-angle change. There is existing technology for the auxiliary device, including a three-axis servo mobile platform control device, so as to realize the short-distance movement and small-angle change of the execution unit 5. The auxiliary device further helps the execution unit 5 to reach the target area more smoothly on the basis of the robotic arm, so as to realize the fine-tuning of the execution unit 5 in the target area. Through the coordinated use of the moving component 3 and the moving device 4, the robotic arm can move precisely along the outer wall of the robotic arm device 2, and through the No. 1 limiting component and the No. 2 limiting component and the limiting hole on the rotating drum 302, the position is accurately locked or the moving device 4 is moved on the rotating drum 302. This design ensures that the robotic arm can accurately reach the predetermined position when performing a task, thereby improving the operation accuracy.

[0067] A self-locking structure is arranged inside the No. 1 motor 601, and the self-locking structure can limit the rotation of the output end of the No. 1 motor 601. The No. 1 motor 601 adopts a stepping motor. When the self-locking structure cancels the restriction on the output end of the No. 1 motor 601, the No. 1 gear 602 can be rotated by powering the No. 1 motor 601. At the same time, when the No. 1 motor 601 is not powered, the No. 1 gear 602 can also rotate when it is driven by the external environment.

[0068] When the distance between the No. 1 base arm 201 and the No. 1 telescopic wall changes, the distance between the No. 1 rack rod 603 fixed on the No. 1 base wall and the No. 2 rack rod 604 fixed on the No. 1 telescopic wall changes. The power device 6 needs to fix the position of the moving device 4 and the No. 1 base arm 201 at this time, or move with the movement of the No. 1 telescopic arm 202. Therefore, the distance between the No. 1 base arm 201 and the No. 1 telescopic arm 202 changes, and its self-locking structure will cancel the restriction according to the selection. When the moving device 4 and the No. 1 base arm 201 are fixed in position, the No. 1 gear 602 meshing with the No. 2 rack rod 604, its corresponding self-locking structure will cancel the restriction, so the No. 2 rack rod 604 When moving with the No. 1 telescopic arm 202, the No. 1 gear 602 will not affect the position change between the No. 1 base arm 201 and the No. 1 telescopic arm 202, and the No. 1 gear 602 meshed with the No. 1 rack rod 603, its corresponding self-locking structure will maintain the restriction, so the mobile device 4 and the No. 1 base arm 201 are fixed in position. Similarly, the mobile device 4 moves with the movement of the No. 1 telescopic arm 202, and the No. 1 gear 602 meshed with the No. 2 rack rod 604, its corresponding self-locking structure will maintain the restriction relationship, and the No. 1 gear 602 meshed with the No. 1 rack rod 603, its corresponding self-locking structure will cancel the restriction relationship, so that the mobile device 4 moves with the movement of the No. 1 telescopic arm 202.

[0069] The robot arm device 2 controls the movement of the support assembly 9. During use, the negative pressure adsorption device 903 is started, and the rotating frame 901 and the space rotation device 902 fine-tune the position of the negative pressure adsorption device 903, thereby ensuring that the negative pressure adsorption device 903 can achieve adsorption of the arm in the tunnel, so as to share the stress on the head end of the robot arm assembly and ensure the service life of the robot arm assembly. Through the nested design of the moving parts, the robot arm device 2, the moving assembly 3 and the moving device 4, the robot arm can achieve multi-dimensional flexible movement in a narrow tunnel space, especially the combination of the moving frame 301 and the rotating drum 302, and the sliding design of the second moving frame 301 on the rotating drum 302, so that the execution unit 5 can be moved on the position of the robot arm assembly, so that the robot arm can easily cope with complex and restricted working environments. When the robot arm assembly is inconvenient to extend, the execution unit 5 can also be moved to the target position to avoid the extension and operation of the robot arm taking too much time, thereby ensuring the operating efficiency of the robot arm.
