Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of robot technology, and in particular to an electrically controlled robot and a method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present invention and do not necessarily constitute prior art.

[0003] As an existing technology, PLC electrical control has been widely used in various fields, especially in the field of robotics. People add PLC electrical control systems to robots, making the scope of robots more extensive and improving the work efficiency of robots.

[0004] There are many circuit systems inside the PLC electrically controlled robot. When these circuit systems are working normally, part of them converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, and part of them exists inside the robot in the form of heat. If this heat cannot be discharged to the outside of the robot in time, it will cause damage to its internal circuit system, which will reduce the normal working efficiency of the robot over time and shorten the service life of the robot.

[0005] Current PLC electrically controlled robots mainly dissipate heat by opening heat dissipation vents. A fan is installed inside the robot. When the internal temperature of the robot is higher than the set temperature, the fan is turned on to accelerate the heat dissipation. First, the heat dissipation effect through the heat dissipation vents is limited, and the heat inside the robot rises quickly. The fan needs to be turned on frequently to discharge the internal heat of the robot to the external environment. Secondly, the heat dissipation vents are in a normally open state, and dust in the external environment of the robot can easily enter the robot, affecting the normal operation of the robot. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes an electrically controlled robot and method thereof, which can effectively prevent external dust and the like from entering the robot on the basis of achieving effective heat dissipation inside the robot, thereby ensuring the normal use of the robot.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] In the first aspect, an electrically controlled robot is proposed, comprising a robot body, an electrical installation board arranged inside the robot body, a temperature sensor arranged on the electrical installation board; a heat equalizing pipe arranged inside the electrical installation board; a heat dissipation hole is arranged at a position corresponding to the electrical installation board on the robot body, a heat conducting plate is hinged at the heat dissipation hole, a heat dissipation pipe is arranged on the heat conducting plate, a fan is arranged inside the robot body, and the fan corresponds to the heat dissipation hole; one end of the heat equalizing pipe is connected to a first water tank, and the other end of the heat equalizing pipe is connected to a second water tank, and the first water tank and the second water tank are connected via the heat dissipation pipe.

[0009] Furthermore, the heat conductive sheet completely covers the heat dissipation hole.

[0010] Further, the temperature sensor and the fan are both communicatively connected to the controller;

[0011] A temperature sensor for obtaining the ambient temperature at the electrical installation panel;

[0012] The controller is used to control the fan to start when the ambient temperature at the electrical installation board is greater than or equal to a set temperature threshold.

[0013] Furthermore, a magnet is arranged on the heat conducting plate, an electromagnet is arranged on the heat dissipation hole, and the electromagnet is connected to a power supply circuit. The power supply circuit is used to supply power to the electromagnet when the ambient temperature at the electrical installation board is greater than or equal to a set temperature threshold, so that the electromagnet generates a magnetic pole with the same polarity as the magnet.

[0014] Furthermore, a plurality of heat dissipation holes are arranged on the robot body, and each heat dissipation hole is hinged to a separate heat conducting plate; and a heat dissipation pipe is arranged on each heat conducting plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the heat equalizing pipe is connected to the first water tank through a first water pump, and the heat dissipating pipe is connected to the second water tank through a second water pump.

[0016] Furthermore, an inspection port is provided on the robot body, a protective cover is provided on the inspection port, and heat dissipation holes are provided through the protective cover.

[0017] Furthermore, the heat equalizing pipe is bent and arranged on the electrical installation board, and the heat dissipation pipe is bent and arranged on the heat conducting sheet.

[0018] In the second aspect, a working method of an electrically controlled robot proposed in the first aspect is proposed, comprising:

[0019] Obtain the ambient temperature at the electrical installation panel through a temperature sensor;

[0020] The coolant in the first water tank enters the heat equalizing tube, exchanges heat with the environment at the electrical installation board in the heat equalizing tube, and then enters the second water tank;

[0021] The coolant in the second water tank enters the heat dissipation pipe, exchanges heat with the environment outside the robot body in the heat dissipation pipe, and then enters the first water tank.

[0022] Further, when the ambient temperature at the electrical installation board is greater than or equal to a set temperature threshold, the fan is controlled to start.

[0023] Furthermore, when the ambient temperature at the electrical installation board is greater than or equal to a set temperature threshold, the electromagnet is energized through the power supply circuit, so that the electromagnet generates a magnetic pole with the same polarity as the magnet.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. The present invention can prevent dust in the external environment of the robot from entering the interior of the robot through the heat conductive sheet provided to cover the heat dissipation holes.

[0026] 2. The present invention arranges a heat dissipation pipe on the heat conductive sheet and a heat equalizing pipe on the electrical installation board; the heat equalizing pipe is connected to the first water tank and the second water tank, and the heat dissipation pipe is also connected to the first water tank and the second water tank; thereby, the coolant in the heat equalizing pipe can be used to absorb the heat of the environment inside the robot body and the electrical installation board, and the heat of the environment at the electrical installation board absorbed by the coolant can be dissipated to the external environment of the robot through the heat dissipation pipe, thereby slowing down the rate of increase of the internal temperature of the robot and ensuring the normal operation of the robot.

[0027] 3. The present invention arranges the heat dissipation pipe on the heat conductive sheet, and the position of the heat conductive sheet corresponds to the fan. When the ambient temperature at the electrical installation board is greater than or equal to the set temperature threshold, the fan is turned on, and the fan blows the heat conductive sheet to rotate so that it no longer covers the heat dissipation holes. The heat dissipation holes are opened and under the action of the fan, the hot air inside the robot body is discharged, accelerating the heat dissipation of the PLC components to avoid damage to the circuit system caused by the failure to dissipate heat in time; at the same time, the fan blows the heat conductive sheet to accelerate the cooling ability of the heat dissipation pipe for the coolant, and because the heat dissipation holes are blown by the fan, external dust is prevented from entering the robot body through the heat dissipation holes. The heat dissipation of the robot body is automatically adjusted with actual use. On the basis of improving the heat dissipation effect, the problem of dust easily entering the interior due to the existence of the heat dissipation holes is also avoided.

[0028] Advantages of additional aspects of the present invention will be given in part in the following description, and in part will become obvious from the following description, or will be learned through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0044] Example 1

[0045] In this embodiment, an electrically controlled robot is disclosed, such as Figure 1-Figure 8As shown, it includes a robot body 1, an electrical installation board 6 is arranged inside the robot body 1, and a temperature sensor 7 is arranged on the electrical installation board 6; a heat equalizing pipe 18 is arranged inside the electrical installation board 6; a heat dissipation hole 8 is arranged at a position corresponding to the electrical installation board 6 on the robot body 1, a heat conducting plate 3 is hinged at the heat dissipation hole 8, a heat dissipation pipe 13 is arranged on the heat conducting plate 3, a fan 16 is arranged inside the robot body 1, and the fan 16 corresponds to the heat dissipation hole 8; one end of the heat equalizing pipe 18 is connected to the first water tank, and the other end of the heat equalizing pipe 18 is connected to the second water tank, and the first water tank and the second water tank are connected via the heat dissipation pipe 13.

[0046] Among them, the electrical installation board 6 is a PLC electrical installation board, and the PLC electrical components are installed on the PLC electrical installation board.

[0047] A temperature sensor 7 is embedded on the surface of the electrical installation board 6, and the temperature sensor 7 is used to obtain the ambient temperature of the electrical installation board inside the robot body.

[0048] In this embodiment, a heat dissipation hole 8 is provided on the outer surface of the robot body 1, and the heat dissipation hole 8 corresponds to the electrical installation plate 6. A heat conducting sheet 3 is hinged on the heat dissipation hole 8, and the heat conducting sheet 3 completely covers the heat dissipation hole 8. A heat dissipation pipe 13 is laid inside the heat conducting sheet 3. A fan 16 is provided inside the robot body 1, and the fan 16 corresponds to the heat dissipation hole 8.

[0049] In this embodiment, a water storage device 19 is provided on one side of the electrical installation board 6. The water storage device 19 is divided into a first water tank and a second water tank by a partition 22. One end of the heat equalizing tube 18 is connected to the first water tank, and the other end of the heat equalizing tube 18 is connected to the second water tank. The coolant in the first water tank enters the heat equalizing tube 18, absorbs the heat of the environment at the electrical installation board, and then enters the second water tank.

[0050] The coolant in the second water tank enters the heat dissipation pipe 13 to exchange heat with the environment outside the robot body. The coolant in the heat dissipation pipe 13 dissipates heat to the environment outside the robot body, and then enters the first water tank.

[0051] Preferably, the heat equalizing pipe 18 is connected to the first water tank through the first water pump 21, and the coolant in the first water tank is pumped into the heat equalizing pipe through the first water pump 21. The heat dissipation pipe 13 is connected to the second water tank through the second water pump 17, and the coolant in the second water tank is pumped into the heat dissipation pipe through the second water pump 17.

[0052] Among them, one end of the heat equalizing pipe 18 extends into the first water tank and is connected to the first water pump 21 in the first water tank; the first water tank and the second water tank are both connected to the connecting pipe 20, and one end of the two connecting pipes 20 is located outside the water storage device. The two connecting pipes 20 are respectively connected to the two ends of the heat dissipation pipe 13, and the other ends of the two connecting pipes 20 extend into the first water tank and the second water tank respectively, wherein the connecting pipe 20 connected to the second water tank is located in the second water tank. The end is connected to the second water pump 17.

[0053] In specific implementation, in this embodiment, an inspection port 4 is provided on the robot body 1 , a protective cover 2 is provided on the inspection port 4 , and a heat dissipation hole 8 is provided through the protective cover 2 .

[0054] The inspection opening 4 corresponds to the electrical installation panel 6 , and the protective cover 2 is detachably covered on the outer surface of the inspection opening 4 .

[0055] A water inlet 9 and a return port 10 are respectively provided on the inner surface of one side of the protective cover 2, and two connecting pipes 20 are detachably connected to the water inlet 9 and the return port 10 respectively. The inner walls at both ends of the heat dissipation hole 8 are embedded with hoses 11 connected to both ends of the heat dissipation pipe 13, one side of the hose 11 is connected to the water inlet 9, and the other side of the hose 11 is connected to the return port 10. The connecting pipe 20 and the hose 11 are both retractable corrugated pipes.

[0056] In order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency, in this embodiment, a plurality of heat dissipation holes 8 are arranged on the robot body 1, and each heat dissipation hole 8 is hinged to a separate heat conductive plate 3; a heat dissipation pipe 13 is arranged on each heat conductive plate 3, and the heat dissipation pipe 13 is connected to the second water tank and the first water tank via a connecting pipe 20.

[0057] A plurality of heat dissipation holes 8 are arranged in an interval arrangement from top to bottom on the protective cover 2 , and a plurality of fans 16 are provided correspondingly. The plurality of fans 16 are distributed in an array on the back side of the protective cover 2 .

[0058] A fixed card slot 5 is formed at the outer end of the inspection port 4 , and the protective cover 2 is movably connected to the fixed card slot 5 . The outer surface of the protective cover 2 is flush with the outer surface of the robot body 1 .

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting groove 12 is provided at the front end of the heat dissipation hole 8 , and the heat conducting sheet 3 is located in the limiting groove 12 and is engaged with the limiting groove 12 .

[0060] In order to improve the heat dissipation effect, in this embodiment, the heat absorbing pipe 18 is bent and arranged on the electrical installation board 6 , and the heat dissipation pipe 13 is bent and arranged on the heat conducting sheet 3 .

[0061] like Figure 7 , Figure 8As shown, the heat averaging tube 18 is in a continuous “S” shape and covers the electrical installation board 6 , and the heat dissipation tube 13 is in a continuous “S” shape and covers the heat conducting sheet 3 .

[0062] The fan 16 and the temperature sensor of this embodiment are both connected to the controller for communication. The controller is used to control the fan to start when the ambient temperature at the electrical installation board is greater than or equal to the set temperature threshold. When the fan 16 is started, it can blow the heat conductive sheet 3 to rotate, so that it no longer covers the heat dissipation hole 8. The heat dissipation hole 8 opens and, under the blowing of the fan 16, the hot air inside the robot body 1 is discharged from the robot, accelerating the heat dissipation efficiency inside the robot, and avoiding damage to the circuit system caused by the failure of the internal heat of the robot to be dissipated in time. At the same time, the fan 16 blows the heat conductive sheet 3, which can accelerate the cooling ability of the heat pipe 13 for the coolant. Because the fan 16 blows at the heat dissipation hole 8, external dust is prevented from entering the robot body 1 through the heat dissipation hole 8. The heat dissipation of the robot body 1 is automatically adjusted with actual use, which improves the heat dissipation effect of the robot and avoids the problem of dust entering the robot body due to the existence of the heat dissipation hole.

[0063] Preferably, the heat dissipation hole 8 is a heat dissipation square hole, and the top of the heat conductive sheet 3 is hinged to the inner top surface of the heat dissipation square hole 8 .

[0064] like Figure 6 As shown, in order to ensure that the heat conducting sheet can still completely cover the heat dissipation hole 8 during the movement of the robot and prevent external dust from entering the robot, a magnet 15 is set on the heat conducting sheet 3 and an electromagnet 14 is set on the heat dissipation hole 8. The electromagnet 14 is connected to the power supply circuit. The power supply circuit is used to connect the power supply circuit when the ambient temperature at the electrical installation board is greater than or equal to the set temperature threshold, and supply power to the electromagnet so that the electromagnet generates a magnetic pole with the same pole as the magnet, so that the fan can blow the heat conducting sheet 3 to rotate.

[0065] When the ambient temperature at the electrical installation board is lower than the set temperature threshold, the power supply circuit is not connected. At this time, the magnet 15 and the electromagnet 14 attract each other to prevent the heat conducting sheet 3 from rotating, thereby effectively preventing dust from entering the robot body through the heat dissipation holes.

[0066] The present embodiment discloses an electrically controlled robot, which monitors the ambient temperature of the electrical installation board through a temperature sensor 7, and fills a first water tank with coolant and delivers it to a heat equalizing tube 18 by a first water pump 21. The heat equalizing tube 18 absorbs heat from the environment at the electrical installation board, and the coolant exchanges heat in the heat equalizing tube 18 to take away the heat, which is beneficial for the heat equalizing tube 18 to absorb the heat from the environment at the electrical installation board in a long-term and efficient manner. The coolant flows along the heat equalizing tube 18 to a second water tank, and the coolant in the second water tank is delivered to a heat dissipation tube 13 of a heat conductive sheet 3 by a second water pump 17. When the coolant flows along the heat dissipation tube 13, it exchanges heat with the external environment of the robot body, thereby cooling the coolant. The cooled coolant flows to the first water tank through the heat dissipation tube 13. The heat conductive sheet 3 is located on the outer surface of the robot body 1, which is beneficial for discharging heat. If the temperature sensor 7 detects that the electrical When the ambient temperature at the air mounting plate continues to rise to a value greater than or equal to the set temperature threshold, the controller controls the fan 16 to start, and the fan 16 blows the heat conducting sheet 3 to rotate so that it no longer covers the heat dissipation hole 8. The heat dissipation hole 8 opens and, under the blowing of the fan 16, discharges the hot air inside the robot body 1, thereby accelerating the heat dissipation inside the robot body and thus avoiding damage to the circuit system caused by the failure to dissipate the heat in time. At the same time, the fan 16 blows the heat conducting sheet 3 to accelerate the cooling ability of the heat dissipation pipe 13 for the coolant, further improving the heat dissipation effect. In addition, under the blowing of the fan 16, the heat dissipation hole 8 prevents external dust from entering the robot body 1 through the heat dissipation hole 8. The heat dissipation of the robot body 1 is automatically adjusted with actual use. On the basis of ensuring the heat dissipation inside the robot, the problem of dust entering the robot body through the heat dissipation holes due to the existence of the heat dissipation holes is avoided.

[0071] The coolant in the second water tank enters the heat dissipation pipe, exchanges heat with the environment outside the robot body in the heat dissipation pipe, and then enters the first water tank.

[0072] Preferably, when the ambient temperature at the electrical installation board is greater than or equal to a set temperature threshold, the fan is controlled to start.

[0073] When the ambient temperature at the electrical installation board is greater than or equal to the set temperature threshold, the electromagnet is energized through the power supply circuit, so that the electromagnet generates a magnetic pole with the same pole as the magnet.
