DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] See also Figure 1-13The present invention provides a technical solution: an intelligent safety inspection device for a boarding ladder and a method of use, comprising a hull 1, a ladder 2, an inspection path 3, an inspection robot 4, a lubrication mechanism and a support mechanism, the ladder 2 is arranged on a deck on one side of the hull 1, the ladder 2 comprises a group of cylinders 21, a plurality of articulated frames 22, a pedal 23 and a telescopic handrail 24, the inspection path 3 is arranged between the hull 1 and the ladder 2 and is consistent with the telescopic direction of the ladder 2, the inspection robot 4 is placed on the inspection path 3, and the support mechanism is arranged on the upper side of the inspection path 3; The lubrication mechanism includes an oil tank 5 and a plurality of oil pipes 6, wherein the oil tank 5 is fixed on the lower side of the deck of the hull 1, the oil pipes 6 are arranged on both sides of the corresponding pedals 23 and are connected to the oil tank 5 with oil pipes 7, two connecting sleeves 61 are sleeved on the oil pipes 6, the connecting sleeves 61 are connected and fixed to the pedals 23, the oil pipes 6 are hollow structures and three groups of lubrication components are arranged at the hinged positions of the articulated frames 22, the lubrication components include a rotating frame 62, a hemispherical valve block 63, a telescopic rod 64 and a sponge 65, wherein one end of the rotating frame 62 is connected and fixed to the corresponding articulated frame 22, the other end of the rotating frame 62 is penetrated in the oil pipe 6 and rotates therewith, the hemispherical valve block 63 is fixed on one end of the rotating frame 62 facing the oil pipe 6 and the outer diameter of the hemispherical valve block 63 matches the inner diameter of the oil pipe 6, the telescopic rod 64 is fixed on the inner side of the rotating frame 62, and the sponge 65 is arranged in the telescopic rod 64.

[0019] The inspection robot 4 is provided with a visual detection module 41 for monitoring the status of the ship ladder 2 during the extension and retraction process.

[0020] Supplementary explanations based on the above structure are as follows: the structural connection of the ship ladder 2 is consistent with the conventional setting. In this case, the fixed end of the cylinder 21 is installed on the lower side of the deck, and the driving end is connected to the articulated frame 22 to drive the extension and retraction of the ship ladder 2; The oil tank 5 contains lubricating oil and is provided with oil delivery ports 50 of the same number as the oil pipes 6. Each oil delivery port 50 is connected to a corresponding oil pipe 6. Preferably, the oil pipe 6 is provided with two oil inlets 66 at opposite locations. The sponge 65 corresponds to the hinged position of the hinged frame 22, and the sponge 65 is used to soak the lubricating oil and apply the hinged position, and the telescopic rod 64 is used to support the sponge 65 while leaving room for movement; In one embodiment, Figure 7-8As shown, the ship ladder 2 in the retracted state is in the initial state, the spherical surfaces of the hemispherical valve blocks 63 on both sides of the oil pipe 6 are biased toward the upper side, and the spherical surface of the hemispherical valve block 63 in the middle is biased toward either the left or right side. If lubricating oil is injected at this time, each sponge 65 can smoothly contact and absorb the lubricating oil, thereby lubricating the hinge; the extension process of the ship ladder 2 is also the process of each hemispherical valve block 63 cutting off the contact between the lubricating oil and the sponge 65. In the fully extended state, the spherical surfaces of the hemispherical valve blocks 63 on both sides of the oil pipe 6 are facing the hemispherical valve block 63 in the middle, and the spherical surface of the hemispherical valve block 63 in the middle is facing the bottom of the oil pipe 6. The hemispherical valve block 63 cuts off the contact between the lubricating oil and the sponge 65. In order to avoid interference, the default amount of lubricating oil input should be no more than half of the diameter width of the hemispherical valve block 63. If the hinge of the articulated frame 22 is rusted, it will cause the ship ladder 2 to be difficult to operate, and the contact time between the lubricating oil and the sponge 65 will be prolonged. The lubrication time can be extended autonomously according to actual conditions.

[0021] like Figure 4 As shown, the oil tank 5 is provided with a total oil chamber 51, a plurality of oil pumps 52, an oil circuit 53 and a liquid level detection chamber 54, wherein the liquid level detection chamber 54 is connected to each oil pipeline 7, and the liquid level detection chamber 54 is equipped with a liquid level detection module for detecting the reduction of the lubricating oil before and after lubrication. The oil circuit 53 connects the total oil chamber 51 with the corresponding liquid level detection chamber 54, and the oil pump 52 is arranged at the end of the oil circuit 53 for quantitatively transporting the lubricating oil in the total oil chamber 51 to the liquid level detection chamber 54. The oil pipeline 7 is provided with an oil pump 2 71 for transporting the lubricating oil in the liquid level detection chamber 54 to the oil pipeline 7 and pumping the remaining lubricating liquid back to the liquid level detection chamber 54.

[0022] A chain track 31 is laid on the inspection road 3 to guide the inspection robot 4 to move along the set route and assist the inspection robot 4 to stay on the slope.

[0023] like Figures 9-11 As shown, the support mechanism includes a support frame 81, several groups of first support rods 82, second support rods 83 and a driving module 84, wherein the support frame 81 is fixed on the inspection road 3, and the first support rod 82 and the second support rod 83 are respectively connected to the support frame 81 and the hull 1 at both ends, and each group of the first support rod 82 and the second support rod 83 are arranged in parallel and located at the lower side direction of the pedal 23 after the ship ladder 2 is extended, and the first support rod 82 and the second support rod 83 are both provided with a driving shaft 85 and an extension rod 86, one end of the driving shaft 85 is rotatably matched with the hull 1, the extension rod 86 is sleeved on the outside of the driving shaft 85 and threadedly matched therewith, and the first support rod 82 and the second support rod 83 corresponding to the extension rod 86 are slidably matched, and the driving shafts 85 of the first support rod 82 and the second support rod 83 are connected by a pulley, and the driving shaft 85 of the first support rod 82 is connected to the driving module 84 by a pulley.

[0024] In actual operation, the extension rod 86 is provided with a slider 861, and the first support rod 82 and the second support rod 83 cooperate with the slider 861 to form a slide rail. When the drive shaft 85 rotates, the extension rod 86 extends along the slide rail to the lower side of the pedal 23 to play an emergency support role.

[0025] The driving module 84 includes a rotating rod 841, a group of driven gears 842, a driven pulley 843, a driving gear 844 and a motor 845, wherein the rotating rod 841 rotates on the lower side of the inspection path 3, the driven gear 842 is arranged at one end of the rotating rod 841 and is located in the center of the inspection path 3, the driven pulley 843 is arranged at the other end of the rotating rod 841 and is connected to the driving shaft 85 of the first support rod 82 by a belt, the motor 845 is arranged on the inspection robot 4, and the driving gear 844 is sleeved on the driving end of the motor 845.

[0026] Further, such as Fig.13 As shown, a mounting plate 42 is provided on one side of the inspection robot 4, a slide plate 43 is provided inside the mounting plate 42, the slide plate 43 is connected to an electric push rod 44, and a visual inspection module 2 45 is provided on the lower side of the slide plate 43 for assisting the docking of the driven gear 842 and the driving gear 844.

[0027] In actual operation, the driving gear 844 is set in the middle position of the inspection robot 4, corresponding to the driven gear 842. The electric push rod 44 is used to adjust the height of the driving gear 844. The height of each group of driven gears 842 should be higher than the surface of the inspection road 3. During general inspection operations, the driving gear 844 is located higher than the driven gear 842. When emergency processing is required, the inspection robot 4 stays at the corresponding driven gear 842, and the driving gear 844 is docked with the driven gear 842 through the electric push rod 44 and the visual inspection module 2 45.

[0028] Preferably, in one embodiment, a lubrication box 46 is provided on the upper side of the sliding plate 43 relative to the driving gear 844 , and the lubrication box 46 is connected to the upper side of the driving gear 844 for delivering lubricating oil to reduce wear when the driving gear 844 and the driven gear 842 are docked.

[0029] The specific implementation is as follows: Step 1: The ship 1 is anchored at the shore, the ship ladder 2 begins to extend, and the inspection robot 4 moves to the inspection path 3 and moves along the chain track 31. During this period, the inspection robot 4 detects the rotation state of each articulated frame 22; Step 2: According to the rotation state of the articulated frame 22, the inspection robot 4 determines whether lubrication is required and positions the required articulated frame 22; Step 3: The inspection robot 4 sends a lubrication signal to the oil tank 5, and the oil tank 5 locks the corresponding oil pump 1 52 to input a certain amount of lubricating oil into the liquid level detection chamber 54, and the oil pump 2 71 then pumps the oil in the liquid level detection chamber 54 into the corresponding oil pipe 6; Step 4: After the ladder 2 is extended, the oil pump 2 71 extracts the remaining oil in the oil pipe 6 to the liquid level detection chamber 54 for recording, and personnel begin to board the ship. During this period, the inspection robot 4 checks the status of the ladder 2 to determine whether there are potential safety hazards and locates the corresponding pedal 23; Step 4-1: The inspection robot 4 moves to the corresponding driving module 84, docks the driving gear 844 with the driven gear 842, drives the driving shaft 85 of the first support rod 82 and the second support rod 83 to rotate, and extends the extension rod 86 to support the lower side of the pedal 23, and notifies the relevant personnel to carry out maintenance; Step 5: After boarding is completed, the ship ladder 2 begins to retract, during which the inspection robot 4 locks the lubricated articulated frame 22, analyzes the retracted state, and determines whether maintenance is required.

[0030] Specifically, in step 2, the inspection robot 4 determines the lubrication requirement in the following manner: the inspection robot 4 captures the position of the articulated frame 22, records the rotation angle and speed, the rotation angle of the articulated frame 22 is obtained by measuring the angle change between the articulated frame 22 and the pedal 23, and the rotation speed is obtained by combining the angle change per unit time, which is compared with the normal rotation state to analyze whether there is a jam or slow rotation. For example, if the articulated frame 22 does not rotate within a unit time, it can be judged that a jam occurs; if the rotation angle of the articulated frame 22 within two unit times is less than the rotation angle of the articulated frame 22 within a unit time under normal conditions, it can be judged that the rotation is too slow. The inspection robot 4 notifies the lubrication mechanism to deliver lubricating oil.

[0031] In step 4, the liquid level detection chamber 54 calculates and compares the oil consumption before and after lubrication, sets the amount of lubricating oil input once as a fixed value A, and the amount of oil recovered after the ship ladder 2 is extended as B. The calculation is performed based on the liquid level height to determine whether the oil consumption (Q=AB) is in the ideal range C. If Q is less than or equal to C, the state of the articulated frame 22 is within the normal range, and only lubrication can be performed. If Q is greater than C, the state of the articulated frame 22 is not ideal and needs to be repaired. The oil consumption is related to the rotation speed of the articulated frame 22. The articulated frame 22 in an unideal state takes a long time to rotate to the final state, and the time for the corresponding hemispherical valve block 63 to cut off the lubricating oil increases accordingly, and the consumption of the lubricating oil increases accordingly.

[0032] The inspection robot 4 determines the support requirement as follows: during the inspection process, the inspection robot 4 records the axial position of the connection between each articulated frame 22 and the pedal 23. During the extension and retraction process of the ship ladder 2, if the axial position is offset and the offset is greater than the set error margin, the inspection robot 4 determines that there is a problem with the connection of the articulated frame 22 and emergency support is required.

[0033] In step 4-1, the visual inspection module 2 45 is used to lock the side tooth position of the corresponding driven gear 842, and the motor 845 fine-tunes the side tooth position of the driving gear 844 to ensure that the upper and lower parts can be docked, and then the lubrication box 46 delivers lubricating oil to the surface of the driving gear 844. When the visual inspection module 2 45 observes that the lubricating oil can drip onto the surface of the driven gear 842, the electric push rod 44 starts to move down for splicing.

[0034] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as first and second, etc. are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents.
