[0049] The robotic arm rotating device includes a turntable 204. The turntable 204 is fixedly installed at the top end of the moving frame 1.

[0052] The rotating assembly 7 includes a second motor 701. The second motor 701 is fixedly installed inside the moving frame 301.

The outer wall of the first base arm 201 is fixedly connected to a first rack bar 603, and the outer wall of the first telescopic arm 202 is fixedly connected to a second rack bar 604.
[0055] The movement of the robotic arm device 2 can be controlled through the moving frame 1. The moving frame 1 includes a moving trolley or a moving rail vehicle that can move on a track. A radar is installed on the robotic arm. Through the radar, the detection of items inside the tunnel can be achieved. Based on the information collected by the radar, the control of the robotic arm can be realized, thereby avoiding contact or collision between the robotic arm and the items inside the tunnel. This application only shows the structure of a robotic arm. The actual robotic arm can be regarded as composed of several robotic arm rotating devices, robotic arm telescopic devices, and robotic arm bending devices arranged and combined according to a set arrangement. The telescopic end of the telescopic device extends and retracts, thereby controlling the change in the distance between the first base arm 201 and the first telescopic arm 202. The telescopic device is a prior art. The output end of the turntable 204 rotates, causing the change in the angle between the second base arm 203 and the third basic arm. The output end of the fourth motor 207 rotates, and the fifth base arm 206 rotates, causing the change in the angle between the fifth base arm 206 and the fourth base arm 205. Through the transmission inside the above-mentioned robotic arm, the basic operation of the robotic arm is realized, and by controlling the robotic arm, the collision between the robotic arm and the device is avoided. This application only discloses a basic structure. The specific structure can be provided with several robotic arm rotating devices, robotic arm telescopic devices, or robotic arm bending devices on this basic structure according to actual needs, so as to achieve actual needs.
[0056] The execution unit 5 includes an inspection device and a fixture device. The use of the inspection device can achieve the detection inside the tunnel and reduce manual inspection. When the fixture device is adopted, the clamping of items can be realized. In addition to the above devices, there will be other devices, and other functions can be achieved through other devices. By controlling the change in the internal structure of the robotic arm device 2, the position of the execution unit 5 is controlled to reach the execution area, facilitating 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 operation of the execution unit 5.
[0057] The outer wall of the rotary 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 rotary drum 302 through the slide rail. At the same time, when the moving body 401 moves between two adjacent and contacting rotary drums 302, when the moving device 4 moves the two rotary drums 302, the existence of the slide rail can effectively provide effective assistance for the moving device 4. The slide rails are aligned between two adjacent rotary drums 302. Moving components 3 are arranged on the base arm. The moving device 4 can be used to move on the moving components 3, control the movement of the moving components 3 on the base arm, so as to adjust the position of the execution unit 5 on the base arm. Or when it is necessary to move the execution unit 5 on different base arms, the moving device 4 is used to move between two adjacent moving components 3, so that the two adjacent moving components 3 are aligned in position, and then the slide rails on the two rotary drums 302 are aligned, so as to realize the movement of the moving device 4 on the moving components 3, and thus control the positions of the moving device 4 and the execution unit 5 on the robotic arm.
[0058] When the rotating component 7 is started, the rotation of the rotary drum 302 and the execution unit 5 can be realized. The output end of the second motor 701 rotates, the second gear 703 rotates, and the gear ring 702 meshes with the second gear 703. During the rotation of the second gear 703, the rotary drum 302 moves on the moving frame 301.
[0059] The first limiting component can cooperate with the outer wall of the rotary drum 302. The moving end of the first moving part 402 can move back and forth. The moving end of the first moving part 402 exists in the prior art, and the specific structure of the first moving part 402 will not be described here. During the movement of the first moving part 402, at this time, the position between the first limiting component and the rotary drum 302 is restricted. The moving end of the first moving part 402 moves, so as to realize the movement of the moving body 401 through the reaction force. After the moving body 401 moves, the second limiting component realizes the position restriction between the second limiting component and the rotary drum 302. At this time, the moving end of the first moving part 402 moves in the reverse direction, so that the moving end of the first moving part 402 returns to its original position. At this time, the first limiting component can cooperate with the outer wall of the rotary drum 302, and the cooperation and separation between the second limiting component and the outer wall of the rotary drum 302 are realized through the associated component.
[0060] The moving end of the first moving part 402 moves. However, at this time, due to the position restriction between the second limiting component and the rotary drum 302 and the existence of the associated device 8, there is no restriction between the first limiting component and the rotary drum 302. Therefore, the moving end of the first moving part 402 can move smoothly. Then, the switching of the restriction relationship between the first limiting component and the second limiting component is realized through the associated device 8. Through the above process, the movement of the moving body 401 on the rotary drum 302 can be realized.
[0061] After the first limiting component is fitted and restricted with the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 302, the movement of the moving end of the first moving member 402 is then restricted. At this time, the moving end of the first moving member 402 is temporarily fixed to the position of the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 302 through the first limiting component. Therefore, the moving tendency of the moving end of the first moving member 402 causes the moving device 4 to move on the rotating cylinder 302 through the reaction force. Through the transmission of the associated components, the second limiting component is temporarily fixed to the position of the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 302. At this time, the first limiting component will cancel the temporary fixation with the position of the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 302, and the moving end of the first moving member 402 moves in the reverse direction and moves to the position of the limiting groove. The position of the limiting groove is set to facilitate the movement and fixation of the moving device 4.
[0062] Since the above can only achieve one-way movement, the internal structure of the first limiting component is designed to control the two-way movement of the moving device 4, such as Figure 11 As shown, the output end of the third motor 406 rotates, the turntable member 407 and the cylinder rotate, the cylinder contacts the first limiting member 404 and causes the first limiting member 404 to move, and the first spring shock absorber damper 405 is compressed. One of the first limiting members 404 is used, and the other is not used temporarily. When reverse movement is required, the output end of the third motor 406 rotates in the reverse direction, so that the other first limiting member 404 is ejected for use.
[0063] As Figure 10 and Figure 11 shown, when the moving end of the first moving member 402 moves, the second spring shock absorber damper 411 will always apply a force to the fixed frame 403, thereby causing the first limiting member 404 to generate a force, so that when the first limiting member 404 moves to the position of the limiting groove, under the action of the second spring shock absorber damper 411, the first limiting member 404 contacts the inside of the limiting groove, and the fixed frame 403 moves downward. During the downward movement of the fixed frame 403, through the transmission of the associated device 8, the second limiting member 409 moves upward. The reverse moving end of the first moving member 402 moves. Through transmission and reaction force, the moving device 4 moves. When the moving end of the first moving member 402 moves, due to the inclined surface of the first limiting member 404, the first limiting member 404 moves out of the limiting groove, thereby causing the fixed frame 403 to move upward. Through the transmission of the associated device 8, the second limiting member 409 moves downward, and the second limiting member 409 contacts the inside of the limiting groove to fix the position of the moving device 4.
[0064] As Figure 13As shown, when the fixing bracket 403 moves upward, the first associated plate 801 moves upward, which in turn causes the rotating shaft 803 and the rotating rod 804 to rotate, causing the second associated plate 802 to move downward, and further causing the second restricting member 409 to move downward. The above upward and downward movements are only in the directions shown in the figure. Through the design of the associated device 8, through the linkage of the first associated plate 801 and the second associated plate 802, a rapid switching of the restricting relationship between the first restricting member 404 and the second restricting member 409 on the rotating cylinder 302 is achieved, thereby realizing the movement and position fixing of the moving device 4 on the rotating cylinder 302. Through the rapid switching of the restricting relationship between the first restricting member 404 and the second restricting member 409 on the rotating cylinder 302 and the correlation between the realization of the movement and position fixing switching of the moving device 4 on the rotating cylinder 302, the feasibility and practicality of the associated device 8 are ensured.
[0065] The reset damping member 410 is internally provided with a spring and a damper. After the position of the sliding bracket 408 changes, the reset damping member 410 can move the sliding bracket 408 to its original position through the internal spring, and the presence of the damper can prevent the internal spring from vibrating.
[0066] An auxiliary device is installed between the execution unit 5 and the moving body 401. The auxiliary device is used to assist the execution unit 5 in short-distance movement and small-angle change. The auxiliary device exists in the prior art and includes a three-axis servo moving platform control device, thereby realizing the short-distance movement and small-angle change of the execution unit 5. Based on the robotic arm, the auxiliary device further helps the execution unit 5 to reach the target area more smoothly, so as to realize the fine adjustment of the execution unit 5 in the target area. Through the combined 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 cooperation of the first restricting component and the second restricting component with the restricting holes on the rotating cylinder 302, accurate position locking is achieved or the moving device 4 is moved on the rotating cylinder 302. This design ensures that the robotic arm can accurately reach the predetermined position during task execution and improves the operation accuracy.
[0067] The first motor 601 is internally provided with a self-locking structure, which can restrict the rotation of the output end of the first motor 601. The first motor 601 is a stepping motor. When the self-locking structure cancels the restriction on the output end of the first motor 601, power supply to the first motor 601 at this time can cause the first gear 602 to rotate. At the same time, when the first motor 601 is not powered, when the first gear 602 is driven by the outside, the output end of the first motor 601 will also rotate.
[0068] When there is a change in the distance between the first base arm 201 and the first telescopic arm, at this time, there is a change between the first rack bar 603 fixed on the first base arm and the second rack bar 604 fixed on the first telescopic arm. The power device 6 needs to fix the position of the moving device 4 and the first base arm 201 at this time, or move along with the movement of the first telescopic arm 202. Therefore, when there is a change in the distance between the first base arm 201 and the first telescopic arm 202, its self-locking structure will cancel the restriction according to different selections. When the moving device 4 and the first base arm 201 are fixed in position, the self-locking structure corresponding to the first gear 602 meshing with the second rack bar 604 will cancel the restriction. Therefore, when the second rack bar 604 moves along with the first telescopic arm 202, the first gear 602 will not affect the change in the position between the first base arm 201 and the first telescopic arm 202. And for the first gear 602 meshing with the first rack bar 603, the corresponding self-locking structure will maintain the restriction. Therefore, the moving device 4 and the first base arm 201 are fixed in position. Similarly, when the moving device 4 moves along with the movement of the first telescopic arm 202, the self-locking structure corresponding to the first gear 602 meshing with the second rack bar 604 will maintain the restricted relationship, while the self-locking structure corresponding to the first gear 602 meshing with the first rack bar 603 will cancel the restricted relationship, realizing the movement of the moving device 4 along with the movement of the first telescopic arm 202.
[0069] The robotic arm device 2 moves by controlling the support assembly 9. During use, the negative pressure adsorption device 903 is activated, and the turntable 901 and the spatial rotation device 902 fine-tune the position of the negative pressure adsorption device 903, so as to ensure that the negative pressure adsorption device 903 can adsorb the inner arm of the tunnel, so as to share the force on the head end of the robotic arm assembly and ensure the service life of the robotic arm assembly. Through the nested design of the moving member, the robotic arm device 2, the moving assembly 3 and the moving device 4, this robotic arm can achieve multi-dimensional flexible movement in a narrow tunnel space. Especially the combination of the moving frame 301 and the rotating cylinder 302, and the sliding design of the second moving frame 301 on the rotating cylinder 302 enable the execution unit 5 to move on the robotic arm assembly, enabling the robotic arm to easily handle complex and restricted working environments. When the robotic arm assembly is inconvenient to extend, the execution unit 5 can also be moved to the target position, avoiding the situation that the extension and operation process of the robotic arm take too much time and ensuring the operation efficiency of the robotic arm.
