Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of inspection robots, and in particular to a track-type inspection robot with a vertical lifting mechanism. Background Art
[0002] Computer room inspection is one of the daily operation and maintenance tasks to ensure the safety and stable operation of the data center. At present, computer room inspection is mostly carried out by video surveillance. Although video surveillance can be deployed in large quantities, it also has problems such as limited computer room space, complex fixed camera control lines, and excessive image storage resource requirements, which lead to arduous maintenance tasks and low overall efficiency. In addition, due to space constraints, its monitoring range is limited, and it is difficult to truly achieve the requirements for all-round monitoring of the computer room environment. Therefore, some robots specifically used for computer room inspection have also emerged.
[0003] After searching, the Chinese patent with authorization announcement number: CN115229761B discloses a track-type inspection robot. The running track of the track-type inspection robot is H-steel. The walking mechanism is in contact with the H-steel and connected to the robot box. The clamping mechanism is used to press the walking mechanism on the H-steel. The robot box realizes reciprocating motion along with the clamping mechanism driven by the walking mechanism. The telescopic mechanism is used to control the detection position of the robot detection system. The robot detection system is used to collect various data during the operation of the robot. The robot control system is used to receive and process the data collected by the robot detection system and control the operation of the robot.
[0004] Based on the above search and combined with actual problems, it was found that the existing track-mounted inspection robots do not have a speed limit function. In an emergency, the operator will control the robot to move quickly along the track to the area where the situation occurs. When the robot passes through the arc segment of the track, it uses the lateral thrust applied to it from the track to achieve turning and changing direction. If the robot passes through the arc segment of the track at a faster speed, the robot will be subjected to a large lateral impact force from the track. Under the action of the impact force, it is easy to cause violent vibrations of the robot and the camera, affecting the stability of the camera monitoring screen. Summary of the invention

The slide bar 208 at the lower end of the slide cylinder 206, the convex ridge on the slide bar 208 cooperates with the slide groove in the slide cylinder 206 to limit the relative rotation of the slide bar 208 and the slide cylinder 206, the lower end of the slide bar 208 is fixed with a guide groove sleeve 210, the upper end of the guide groove sleeve 210 is elastically connected to the slide cylinder 206 through an extrusion spring 209, and the outer side of the guide groove sleeve 210 is provided with a spiral bevel groove 211, the upper end of the driven shaft 215 is fixed with a rotating column 216 that is movably matched with the inner side of the guide groove sleeve 210, and the outer side of the rotating column 216 is fixed with a sliding pin 210 that is slidably matched with the inner side of the spiral bevel groove 211. 17. A transmission mechanism is arranged between the driven shaft 215 and the driving shaft 203. The lower end of the spiral chute 211 also includes a horizontal slide 218 arranged horizontally, and the spiral chute 211 and the horizontal slide 218 are smoothly connected. The driving mechanism includes a rack 110 fixed to the lower side of the track 1 and a driving motor 108 installed on one side of one of the side plates 102. A driving shaft 111 is fixed to the driving end of the driving motor 108. A driving gear 109 meshing with the rack 110 is rotatably arranged on the outer side of the driving shaft 111. A clutch mechanism is arranged between the driving gear 109 and the driving shaft 111.
[0033] Through the pressing mechanism, when the deceleration mechanism senses the arc segment of the front track 1, the slide cylinder 206 of the deceleration mechanism can be driven to move upward, thereby driving the brake block 207 to move upward, so that the arc groove 219 on the upper side of the brake block 207 fits with the brake wheel 202, braking the brake wheel 202 and slowing down the walking device.
[0034] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism includes a driving pulley 212 fixed on the outside of the driving shaft 203 and a driven pulley 213 fixed on the outside of the driven shaft 215, the outer sides of the driving pulley 212 and the driven pulley 213 are connected by a synchronous belt 214, and the diameter of the driving pulley 212 is greater than the diameter of the driven pulley 213;
[0035] When the extension rod 204, the driving shaft 203, and the driving pulley 212 rotate at a smaller angle, the transmission mechanism can drive the driven pulley 213 and the driven shaft 215 to rotate at a larger angle, thereby improving the sensitivity of the driving pressing mechanism. When the sensing roller 205 just contacts the inner side surface of the arc segment of the track 1, the pressing mechanism can be driven to apply thrust to the brake block 207, thereby achieving a more accurate braking and deceleration effect.
[0036] Furthermore, two buffer grooves 220 are symmetrically provided on the inner side of the brake wheel 202, and push blocks 221 are fixed at positions corresponding to the two buffer grooves 220 at one end of the bearing shaft 103, and the two push blocks 221 are respectively slidably adapted to the inner sides of the two buffer grooves 220, and both sides of the two push blocks 221 are elastically connected to the inner sides of the two buffer grooves 220 through buffer springs 222;
[0037] By arranging a plurality of buffer springs 222 between the brake wheel 202 and the load-bearing shaft 103, the brake wheel 202 and the load-bearing shaft 103 are elastically and movably connected. When the brake wheel 202 in the deceleration mechanism is subjected to friction and generates a reverse torque, the reverse torque can be smoothly transmitted to the push block 221 through the buffer spring 222, and then transmitted to the load-bearing shaft 103 through the push block 221, and then transmitted to the load-bearing wheel 104, so that the reverse torque on the load-bearing shaft 103 and the load-bearing wheel 104 can be gradually increased, thereby avoiding impact on the load-bearing wheel 104, further improving the stability of the deceleration process, and avoiding shaking of the camera 3 at the moment of deceleration.
[0038] The guide wheel 106 provides lateral support for the walking device to improve the running stability of the walking device on the track 1. The induction roller 205 rolls along the side of the track 1 to reduce the resistance between the extension rod 204 and the track 1, thereby improving the smoothness of the movement of the walking device.
[0039] The driving gear 109 of the driving mechanism is always meshed with the rack 110 , and the driving motor 108 drives the driving gear 109 to rotate. The driving gear 109 can move along the outer side of the track 1 with the walking device by meshing with the rack 110 .
[0040] Furthermore, the power taking mechanism includes a positive conductive strip 301 and a negative conductive strip 302 installed on the lower side of the track 1, and a positive brush 303 and a negative brush 304 arranged on the upper side of the mounting plate 2, the lower sides of the positive brush 303 and the negative brush 304 are elastically connected to the upper side of the mounting plate 2 through a spring telescopic rod 305, and the upper sides of the positive brush 303 and the negative brush 304 are respectively in contact with the surface of the positive conductive strip 301 and the negative conductive strip 302;
[0041] The positive conductive strip 301 and the negative conductive strip 302 of the power collection mechanism are electrically connected to the output end of the external power supply. Under the elastic force of the two spring telescopic rods 305, an upward thrust is always applied to the positive brush 303 and the negative brush 304, so that the upper sides of the positive brush 303 and the negative brush 304 are always respectively attached to the surfaces of the positive conductive strip 301 and the negative conductive strip 302. The positive brush 303 and the negative brush 304 can transmit the current transmitted by the positive conductive strip 301 and the negative conductive strip 302 to the camera 3 and the drive motor 108, so that the camera 3 and the drive motor 108 can be powered during the movement of the walking device.
[0042] Furthermore, the mounting plate 2 and the camera 3 are movably connected via a position adjustment mechanism, which includes a shell 401 fixed to the lower side of the mounting plate 2, a steering shaft 402 and a worm 403 perpendicular to each other are rotatably connected through the inner side of the shell 401, a worm wheel 404 meshing with the worm 403 is fixed to the outer side of the steering shaft 402, a reversing motor 405 driving the worm 403 is installed on the outer side of the shell 401, bogies 406 located on the outer side of the shell 401 are fixed at both ends of the steering shaft 402, a lifting electric cylinder 407 is installed on one side of the bogie 406, and the camera 3 is installed at the telescopic end of the lifting electric cylinder 407;
[0043] The reversing motor 405 that controls the position adjustment mechanism drives the worm 403 to rotate, the worm 403 drives the worm wheel 404 to rotate, and the worm wheel 404 drives the lifting cylinder 407 to rotate through the steering shaft 402 and the bogie 406, thereby driving the camera 3 to rotate around the axis of the steering shaft 402. At the same time, with the telescopic effect of the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 407, the camera 3 can be driven to move in a straight line, so that the camera 3 can be moved arbitrarily in the semicircular area, thereby improving the monitoring range.
[0044] Furthermore, the clutch mechanism includes a sleeve 501 slidably mounted on the outside of the drive shaft 111, an electromagnet 504 mounted on the bottom plate 101, a friction plate 502 is fixed to one end of the sleeve 501, and an armature 503 is rotatably connected to the outside of the sleeve 501; the clutch mechanism also includes a travel switch 505 mounted on the guide groove sleeve 210, and the travel switch 505 is electrically connected to the electromagnet 504 through a control circuit;
[0045] When the robot moves to the arc segment of track 1, the induction roller 205 is acted upon by the force from the inner side of the arc segment of track 1, thereby driving the extension rod 204 to rotate outward, thereby driving the driving shaft 203 to rotate, and the driving shaft 203 drives the driving pulley 212 of the transmission mechanism to rotate, and the driving pulley 212 drives the driven shaft 215 of the top pressing mechanism to rotate through the synchronous belt 214, and the driven shaft 215 drives the rotating column 216 at the upper end to rotate, and the rotating column 216 drives the sliding pin 217 to rotate synchronously, so that the sliding pin 217 slides along the inner side of the spiral bevel groove 211, and the sliding pin 217 and the spiral bevel groove 211 are adapted to each other. When the sliding pin 217 slides along the inner side of the spiral bevel groove 211, an upward thrust can be applied to the guide groove sleeve 210, thereby driving the guide groove sleeve 210 to move upward. The upward movement of the guide groove sleeve 210 drives the travel switch 505 to move upward, so that the travel switch 505 contacts the guide block 201, thereby triggering the travel switch 505. The travel switch 505 controls the electromagnet 504 to lose the electromagnetic attraction to the armature 503 through the control circuit, thereby eliminating the pressure on the friction plate 502 and the driving gear 109. At this time, the driving shaft 111 will not transmit the rotational torque to the driving gear 109, thereby improving the deceleration effect.
[0046] Working principle: When the robot is running, the four bearing wheels 104 of the two walking devices roll on the bottom surfaces of both sides of the track 1 respectively to support the robot as a whole. The positive conductive strip 301 and the negative conductive strip 302 of the power-taking mechanism are electrically connected to the output end of the external power supply. Under the elastic force of the two spring telescopic rods 305, an upward thrust is always applied to the positive brush 303 and the negative brush 304, so that the upper sides of the positive brush 303 and the negative brush 304 are always respectively attached to the surfaces of the positive conductive strip 301 and the negative conductive strip 302. The positive brush 303 and the negative brush 304 can transmit the current transmitted by the positive conductive strip 301 and the negative conductive strip 302 to the camera 3 and the drive motor 108, so that the camera 3 and the drive motor 108 can be powered during the movement of the walking device. At the same time, the driving gear 109 of the driving mechanism is always engaged with the rack 110, and the driving motor 108 runs with The driving shaft 111 rotates, and the electromagnet 504 is always in a power-on state. The electromagnet 504 generates an electromagnetic attraction to the armature 503. The armature 503 drives the sliding sleeve 501 to move, thereby driving the friction plate 502 to press against one side of the driving gear 109, thereby fixing the driving gear 109 to the driving shaft 111. Therefore, when the driving shaft 111 rotates, the driving gear 109 can be driven to rotate. The driving gear 109 can drive the walking device to move along the outer side of the track 1 by meshing with the rack 110. When the two walking devices drive the camera 3 to move to the arc segment of the track 1, since guide wheels 106 are provided on both sides of each side plate 102, when the walking device moves from the straight segment of the track 1 to the arc segment, the side wall of the track 1 applies a force to the guide wheel 106 located at the inner bend, and the direction of the force points to the center position of the arc segment of the track 1, so that the walking device can move in an arc along the arc segment of the track 1.
[0047] When the walking device moves at high speed, in order to prevent the walking device from being subjected to a large lateral impact force from the track 1 when it moves to the arc section of the track 1 too fast, it is necessary to use a deceleration mechanism to decelerate before the walking device moves to the arc section of the track 1. The four extension rods 204 of the four deceleration mechanisms on the two walking devices are respectively located on both sides of the track 1, and the induction rollers 205 at one end of the four extension rods 204 roll along the two sides of the track 1. When the two walking devices drive the camera 3 to approach the arc section of the track 1, the camera 3 located at the forward direction end and on the track 1 The inductive roller 205 of a deceleration mechanism of the inner bend of the arc segment will move from the straight segment of the track 1 to the inner side of the arc segment. At this time, the inductive roller 205 is subjected to the force from the inner side of the arc segment of the track 1, thereby driving the extension rod 204 to rotate outward, thereby driving the driving shaft 203 to rotate, and the driving shaft 203 drives the driving pulley 212 of the transmission mechanism to rotate, and the driving pulley 212 drives the driven shaft 215 of the top pressing mechanism to rotate through the synchronous belt 214, and the driven shaft 215 drives the rotating column 216 at the upper end to rotate, and the rotating column 216 drives the sliding pin 217 to rotate synchronously. The sliding pin 217 slides along the inner side of the spiral bevel groove 211. Under the adaptation of the sliding pin 217 and the spiral bevel groove 211, when the sliding pin 217 slides along the inner side of the spiral bevel groove 211, an upward thrust can be applied to the guide groove sleeve 210, thereby driving the guide groove sleeve 210 to move upward, and the guide groove sleeve 210 drives the slide bar 208 to move upward and extend into the interior of the slide cylinder 206. At the same time, the upward movement of the guide groove sleeve 210 compresses the extrusion spring 209, and the extrusion spring 209 is gradually compressed, so that an upward thrust can be gradually applied to the slide cylinder 206, and the slide cylinder 206 applies the brake block 208 to the brake block 206. 7 applies an upward thrust, thereby increasing the squeezing force between the arc groove 219 and the outer side of the brake wheel 202. Therefore, under the friction force of the arc groove 219 and the brake wheel 202, a braking force can be applied to the load-bearing shaft 103 and the load-bearing wheel 104, thereby playing a role of forced deceleration, and the speed of the walking device can be reduced when it moves to the arc segment of the track 1, thereby reducing the lateral impact force from the arc segment of the track 1, so that the walking device drives the camera 3 to travel more smoothly through the arc segment of the track 1, ensuring the stability of the monitoring picture of the camera 3 and avoiding picture shaking;
[0048] When the diameter of the arc segment of the track 1 is smaller, the extension rod 204 drives the driving shaft 203 to rotate at a larger angle, so the driven shaft 215 drives the rotating column 216 to rotate at a larger angle, so the sliding pin 217 can slide along the inner side of the spiral bevel groove 211 for a longer stroke, so the guide groove sleeve 210 is pushed upward, the more the extrusion spring 209 is compressed, and thus a greater thrust is applied to the slide cylinder 206 and the brake block 207, so that a greater braking force can be provided to the load-bearing wheel 104, thereby providing a greater deceleration effect to the walking device. In order to avoid locking the brake wheel 202 and ensure that the walking device can smoothly pass through the arc segment of the track 1, when the driving shaft 203 rotates to a certain angle, the sliding pin 21 7 slides from the inner side of the spiral inclined groove 211 to the inner side of the horizontal groove 218. Since the horizontal groove 218 is horizontally arranged, when the driven shaft 215 drives the rotating column 216 and the sliding pin 217 to rotate, the sliding pin 217 sliding on the inner side of the horizontal groove 218 will not continue to drive the guide groove sleeve 210 to move upward, thereby not continuing to compress the extrusion spring 209, thereby ensuring that the friction between the arc groove 219 and the brake wheel 202 will not continue to increase, thereby preventing the brake wheel 202 from locking, and further preventing the load-bearing wheel 104 from locking, so that the load-bearing wheel 104 can rotate while maintaining the braking force, thereby ensuring the stability of the walking device and the camera 3 during the deceleration process, and improving the stability of the monitoring image of the camera 3;
[0049] Since the diameter of the driving pulley 212 is greater than that of the driven pulley 213, when the extension rod 204, the driving shaft 203 and the driving pulley 212 rotate at a smaller angle, the driven pulley 213 and the driven shaft 215 can be driven to rotate at a larger angle, thereby improving the sensitivity of the driving pressing mechanism. When the induction roller 205 just contacts the inner side surface of the arc segment of the track 1, the pressing mechanism can be driven to apply thrust to the brake block 207, thereby achieving a more accurate braking and deceleration effect.
[0050] When the pressing mechanism applies pressure to the brake block 207, friction is instantly generated between the brake block 207 and the brake wheel 202. In order to prevent the friction from impacting the rotation of the brake wheel 202 and the load-bearing wheel 104, a plurality of buffer springs 222 are arranged between the brake wheel 202 and the load-bearing shaft 103. When the brake wheel 202 is instantly subjected to friction and generates a reverse torque, the reverse torque can be smoothly transmitted to the push block 221 through the buffer spring 222, and then transmitted to the load-bearing shaft 103 through the push block 221, and then transmitted to the load-bearing wheel 104, so that the reverse torque on the load-bearing shaft 103 and the load-bearing wheel 104 can be gradually increased, thereby avoiding impact on the load-bearing wheel 104, further improving the stability of the deceleration process, and avoiding shaking of the camera 3 at the moment of deceleration.
