In the traditional special operations process, special operations safety monitoring lacks technical support, has a single monitoring method, and faces industry bottlenecks such as poor alarm transmission. The situation of safety risk prevention and control in special operations remains severe.
[0003] The use of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, and precise gas detection to promote the use of less-manned or unmanned operations at dangerous work sites is an important means of preventing and controlling safety risks. The application of special operation safety inspection machines will greatly improve safety protection and reduce safety accidents caused by human negligence and personnel leaving the site.
[0004] Existing special operation intelligent self-propelled safety patrol devices usually lack sufficient terrain adaptability and have difficulty adapting to complex terrains such as stairs. This limits their scope of application, especially in chemical facilities that need to cross multiple floors or complex structures.

[0066] A special operation intelligent self-propelled safety patrol system, based on the operation of the above-mentioned special operation intelligent self-propelled safety patrol device, includes: The gas detection module is used to set the gas concentration threshold and receive the gas analysis signal sent by the diffusion gas analyzer, and send the gas analysis signal to the control host 9.

[0070] The alarm module is also used to send an audible and visual alarm signal to the scene using the alarm component when receiving one or more of image abnormal event information and dangerous gas leakage information sent on site.
[0071] The alarm module includes a historical gas and image alarm event recording unit, which is used to record and store historical on-site dangerous gas leakage information and image abnormal event information.
[0072] The interactive module is used to provide a human-computer interactive interface through the explosion-proof touch display screen 10 for users to input commands, view historical on-site hazardous gas leakage information and image abnormality event information, and set gas concentration thresholds.
[0073] The specific implementation process is as follows: First, the special operation intelligent self-propelled safety patrol device is deployed in a specific area of the chemical facility, and a patrol path is preset for the control host 9.
[0074] by Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3For example, the device is started, and the device is powered by the battery 16. The device begins to perform special operation safety inspection operations at the chemical site. At this time, the control host 9 sends a control signal to control the output shaft of the first drive member 23 to rotate clockwise. In this embodiment, the control host 9 is configured with I5 CPU, 8G memory and 256G hard disk; the first drive member 23 is a DC motor; when the output shaft of the DC motor rotates synchronously clockwise, it can drive the drive wheel 2 to rotate clockwise, and the drive wheel 2 can drive the moving crawler 4 to rotate and then drive the driven wheel 3 to rotate clockwise, so that the vehicle body 1 can realize the operation of moving forward according to the preset inspection path. When the vehicle body 1 needs to turn, the control host 9 controls the differential rotation of the output shaft of the DC motor by sending a control signal to realize the steering operation of the vehicle body 1.
[0075] When the vehicle body 1 moves forward, the explosion-proof thermal imaging camera 7 on the top of the box 5 starts working, and it captures the image information in front of the vehicle body 1 in real time. It can not only capture the appearance, shape and other features of the visible obstacles within the field of view, but also distinguish some potential high-temperature or low-temperature abnormal objects that are difficult for the human eye to directly perceive based on the difference in thermal radiation of the objects, thereby providing rich image data for subsequent analysis.
[0076] At the same time, the 3D ToF sensor uses the time-of-flight principle to emit light pulses and measure the time interval from the emission to the return of the light pulses, so as to accurately calculate the distance information of the objects in front of the vehicle 1, construct a three-dimensional spatial scene overview with depth information, and quickly identify the distribution of obstacles at different distance levels.
[0077] The laser radar sensor emits a laser beam and receives the reflected obstacle distance data in real time, scanning the area in front of the vehicle body 1 with extremely high accuracy and frequency, generating detailed point cloud data that can accurately depict the outline, position and orientation of the obstacle relative to the vehicle body 1.
[0078] The control host 9 continuously receives the three-dimensional space distance information sent by the 3D ToF sensor, the precise point cloud data sent by the laser radar sensor, and the on-site image sent by the explosion-proof thermal imaging camera 7. It fuses these multi-source information, and comprehensively analyzes and determines the distribution and type of obstacles in front and the safe distance from the vehicle body 1. Based on this, when it is necessary to avoid obstacles, the control host 9 controls the power output of the DC motor to drive the vehicle body 1 to turn. For example, if there is a close obstacle on the left side in front, the control host 9 will reduce the output power of the DC motor on the right and increase the output power of the DC motor on the left, so that the vehicle body 1 turns to the right, thereby avoiding obstacles, realizing autonomous navigation, and ensuring that the vehicle body 1 moves forward smoothly according to the preset patrol path.
[0079] An infrared obstacle avoidance sensor may also be installed at the front end of the vehicle body 1 in the moving direction to further improve the obstacle avoidance accuracy of the vehicle body 1 in a dark environment.
[0080] The infrared obstacle avoidance sensor works based on the reflection principle of infrared rays. When the infrared rays encounter an obstacle, they will be reflected back. After receiving the reflected signal, the infrared obstacle avoidance sensor can determine that there is an obstacle ahead. In the dark, due to the limitation of visible light, ordinary visual detection methods are difficult to play an effective role. The infrared rays emitted by the infrared obstacle avoidance sensor can penetrate a certain degree of darkness and accurately detect objects on the forward path of the vehicle 1.
[0081] When the infrared obstacle avoidance sensor detects an obstacle, it will immediately transmit the obstacle signal to the control host 9. After receiving the signal, the control host 9 quickly combines the information fed back by the current 3D ToF sensor, laser radar sensor and explosion-proof thermal imaging camera 7 to make a comprehensive judgment. If it is determined that avoidance is required, it will also quickly avoid the obstacle according to the pre-set obstacle avoidance strategy.
[0082] This multi-sensor collaborative working mode greatly enhances the obstacle avoidance capability of the vehicle 1 in complex and dark environments, ensuring that it can continue to move forward stably and efficiently along the preset patrol path.
[0083] However, since the infrared light source is not very accurate in identifying transparent or translucent objects, the obstacle avoidance strategy is adopted as follows: when the infrared obstacle avoidance sensor detects a suspected obstacle signal, the control host 9 will not immediately perform a large-scale turning action based solely on the infrared obstacle avoidance sensor signal, but will prioritize cross-verification with the data fed back by the 3D ToF sensor and the LiDAR sensor. The light pulses emitted by the 3D ToF sensor can make a certain preliminary judgment on the material properties of the object based on multi-dimensional information such as the intensity and angle of the reflected light. If it is fed back that the object in front may have transparent or translucent properties, the control host 9 will further refer to the point cloud data generated by the LiDAR sensor, and with its high-precision contour depiction capability, accurately determine the true boundary, shape and exact position of the object.
[0084] If it is confirmed through comprehensive judgment that there is a transparent or translucent obstacle in front and the vehicle body 1 is in a dangerous approach range, the control host 9 will fine-tune the output power of the DC motor according to the preset fine obstacle avoidance algorithm, adjust the posture of the vehicle body 1 in a slow and stable manner, and gradually avoid the obstacle. In this embodiment, the fine obstacle avoidance algorithm uses the fine obstacle avoidance algorithm in the Ecovacs T20 Pro sweeping robot. This part belongs to the prior art. The essence is to calculate the boundary information of the obstacle and the current position information of the sweeping robot, and finely adjust the output power of the built-in motor of the sweeping robot according to the preset safety distance threshold, so as to achieve a slight adjustment of the posture of the sweeping robot, so that the sweeping robot can avoid obstacles with the smallest movement amplitude. This embodiment will not be elaborated in detail.
[0085] The data of the 3D ToF sensor and the LiDAR sensor are combined to update the three-dimensional map around the vehicle body 1 in real time. Through the real-time update of the three-dimensional map, the driving path and obstacle avoidance strategy of the vehicle body 1 can be determined more accurately.
[0086] by Figure 1 and Figure 3 For example, when the vehicle body 1 moves forward to the position of the stairs, when the control host 9 recognizes that there are stairs ahead through the explosion-proof thermal imaging camera 7, the control host 9 sends a control signal to control the output shaft of the second double-headed driving member 12 to rotate counterclockwise by 90 degrees; in this embodiment, the initial state of the support rod 17 is horizontal, and the second double-headed driving member 12 is a double-headed servo motor; since the output shafts at both ends of the second double-headed driving member 12 are coaxially fixedly connected to the support rod 17 by bolts, when the output shaft of the double-headed servo motor rotates counterclockwise by 90 degrees, the support rod 17 changes from horizontal to vertical, and the support rod 17 drives the second guide wheel 18 to move upward. Since the second guide wheel 18 and the adjacent driven wheel 3 are both sleeved with a climbing track 19, the driven wheel 3 can rotate clockwise at this time to drive the climbing track 19 and then drive the second guide wheel 18 to rotate clockwise. When the vehicle body 1 moves to the point where the climbing track 19 contacts the vertical surface of the stair steps and generates friction, the climbing track 19 rotates clockwise and the friction of the vertical surface of the steps can lift the front end of the vehicle body 1 in the moving direction. At the same time, as the moving track 4 continues to rotate, the vehicle body 1 can be driven to climb the step. During the climbing process of the vehicle body 1, the control host 9 sends a control signal to control the output shaft of the first double-headed driving member 11 to rotate 45 degrees counterclockwise; in this embodiment, the first double-headed driving member 11 is a double-headed stepping motor; when the double-headed stepping motor rotates 45 degrees counterclockwise, it can drive the supporting wheel 13 and then drive the connecting rod 14 to drive the first guide wheel 15 to move downward and contact the ground. When the front end of the vehicle body 1 in the moving direction is lifted, the first guide wheel 15 can contact the horizontal surface of the step as the vehicle body 1 moves forward to climb the step and then support the rear end of the vehicle body 1 in the moving direction, thereby preventing the vehicle body 1 from tipping backward when climbing the stairs.
[0087] When the vehicle body 1 climbs over the stairs and the control host 9 recognizes through the explosion-proof thermal imaging camera 7 that there are no stairs ahead, the control host 9 sends a control signal to control the output shaft of the double-headed stepper motor to rotate 45 degrees clockwise, restoring the first guide wheel 15 to be level with the ground. At the same time, the control host 9 sends a control signal to control the output shaft of the double-headed servo motor to rotate 90 degrees clockwise, restoring the second guide wheel 18 to be level with the ground, thereby increasing the stability of the vehicle body 1 when moving on flat ground.
[0088] When the vehicle body 1 arrives at the work site, the explosion-proof thermal imaging camera 7 takes real-time pictures of the work site in front of the vehicle body 1, and sends the work site images to the edge computing host 8 for preprocessing operations before image recognition. In this embodiment, the edge computing host 8 is configured as an edge box with RK3588 8+32GB 8K SSD 8K@60fps H.265 / VP9 decoding; the edge computing host 8 performs preprocessing operations on the images of the work site to identify potential safety hazards at the work site, such as fireworks, personnel falls, personnel are not on site, or personnel exceed the limit. Once one or more of these abnormal events are identified, the edge computing host 8 sends an alarm signal to the control host 9, and the control host 9 will generate corresponding image abnormal event information. The control host 9 will also send an audible and visual alarm signal to the site by controlling the explosion-proof audible and visual alarm 20 to remind the on-site personnel to pay attention to safety.
[0089] In addition, the diffusion gas analyzer in the gas monitoring assembly continuously monitors the gas concentration on site through the gas monitoring port 22, including O 2 , CO, CH 4 and H 2 One or more of S, in this embodiment CH 4 For example, when the CH 4 When the gas concentration exceeds a preset threshold, the control host 9 generates and sends dangerous gas leakage information to the site. At the same time, the control host 9 also controls the explosion-proof sound and light alarm 20 to send an audible and visual alarm signal to the site to remind the on-site personnel to evacuate.
[0090] Once the control host 9 receives one or more of the abnormal image events and the dangerous gas leakage sent on site, the information will be immediately sent to the vibration bracelet 27 and the remote platform server through the wireless module. In this embodiment, the remote platform server is the administrator's mobile client; the vibration bracelet 27 will vibrate to remind the administrator to pay attention, and only when the administrator clicks on the vibration bracelet 27 will the vibration stop, and the administrator can view the patrol data and alarm information in real time through the administrator's mobile client.
[0091] In addition, in order to keep the lens of the explosion-proof thermal imaging camera 7 clean and clear, the control host 9 will regularly control the second driving member 25 to rotate, driving the rubber scraper 26 to scrape off the stains on the lens.
[0092] Managers can interact with the device through the explosion-proof touch display screen 10 to input instructions, view historical alarm event information, and set gas concentration thresholds.
[0093] When the edge computing host 8 identifies that the image is stained or blurred during the image recognition process, it sends a cleaning signal to the control host 9, and the control host 9 sends a control signal to control the output shaft of the second drive member 25 to rotate back and forth; in this embodiment, the second drive member 25 is a forward and reverse motor; at this time, the forward and reverse motor output shaft can drive the rubber scraper 26 to scrape off the stains on the lens of the explosion-proof thermal imaging camera 7, keep the lens clean and clear, and improve the accuracy of image recognition.
[0094] At the same time, the explosion-proof thermal imaging camera 7 can also be replaced with a dual-spectrum video probe, which can capture visible light and infrared spectrum images at the same time.
[0095] The dual-spectrum video probe can capture high-definition visible light images of the scene and perform image analysis through the edge computing host 8 to identify fireworks, falls, supervisory personnel leaving their posts, excessive personnel, entry into prohibited areas, entry of unrelated personnel, failure to wear safety helmets, and failure to wear safety ropes.
[0096] Each gas has its own unique spectral characteristics, which are particularly evident in the infrared spectrum. The dual-spectrum video probe can identify the type of gas by matching the captured spectral information with the spectral feature library of known gases; the dual-spectrum video probe can also detect temperature changes on site, and can realize the function of temperature monitoring at various on-site operation points.
[0097] For example, when there is a flammable gas leak at the scene, the infrared spectrum function of the dual-spectrum video probe can quickly capture the subtle changes in temperature in the leak area. Since flammable gas leaks are often accompanied by the release or absorption of heat, these temperature changes are particularly significant in the infrared spectrum. The dual-spectrum video probe can monitor and record these temperature changes in real time through a highly sensitive infrared sensor, generating an accurate temperature distribution image.
[0098] After receiving the temperature anomaly data sent by the dual-spectrum video probe, the control host 9 can identify the temperature anomaly pattern caused by gas leakage. Once the risk of flammable gas leakage is confirmed, the control host 9 will immediately trigger the alarm mechanism.
[0099] The alarm mechanism includes two aspects: one is to send the alarm information of gas leakage to the vibration bracelet 27 and the remote platform server through the wireless module to remind the management personnel to take immediate action; the other is to control the explosion-proof sound and light alarm 20 to send sound and light alarm signals to the scene to warn the on-site personnel to evacuate quickly.
[0100] In addition, the high-definition visible light image function of the dual-spectrum video probe can also assist managers in conducting more intuitive on-site monitoring. By viewing the on-site images in real time, managers can quickly locate the source of the leak, assess the severity of the leak, and take appropriate emergency measures.
[0101] The dual-spectrum video probe can also identify more types of dangerous gas leaks on site, such as NH 3 Abnormal concentration, NO on site 2 Abnormal concentration, on-site SO 2 Abnormal concentration and abnormal HCL concentration on site.
[0102] These gases have specific absorption or emission characteristics under the infrared spectrum. The dual-spectrum video probe can capture these characteristics and generate corresponding on-site dangerous gas leakage information.
[0103] By integrating advanced navigation technology, terrain perception and adaptation mechanisms, the intelligent self-propelled safety patrol device for special operations can flexibly adapt to complex terrain for autonomous patrols, without the need for fixed preset patrol tracks, especially for multi-story or complex chemical facilities such as stairs, which significantly improves the terrain adaptability and application scope of the device. The use of high-performance advanced equipment such as explosion-proof thermal imaging cameras 7, gas monitoring components and edge computing hosts 8 is more conducive to the use of advanced functions of patrol robots, and realizes real-time monitoring and intelligent analysis of special operation site environments, which can timely discover and warn potential safety hazards, effectively reduce the risk of safety accidents caused by human factors, and improve the safety protection level of special operation sites.
[0104] Embodiment 2:
[0105] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the difference from Example 1 is that a plurality of solar charging panels 24 are fixedly connected to the top of the vehicle body 1 by screws, and the solar charging panels 24 are used to charge the battery 16 using solar energy; and a plurality of heat dissipation holes for dissipating heat inside the box body 5 are symmetrically opened on the outer wall of the box body 5.
[0106] The specific implementation process is as follows: The solar charging panel 24 can use solar energy to charge the battery 16, reducing the dependence on traditional energy and reducing the operating cost. At the same time, the solar charging panel 24 also improves the autonomous operation capability and endurance of the device. The design of the heat dissipation hole can effectively improve the heat dissipation efficiency in the box 5, ensuring that the control host 9, the edge computing host 8 and the battery 16 will not malfunction or performance degradation due to overheating during long-term operation.
[0107] Embodiment 3:
[0108] This embodiment provides another vehicle body 1 structure, refer to the attached Figure 6 , including a robot housing 28, which is fixedly connected to the top of the vehicle body 1. The robot housing 28 is sleeved on the box body 5.
[0109] The specific implementation process is as follows: The robot housing 28 can be customized according to actual needs, with a streamlined appearance or specific colors, patterns, etc., to enhance the overall aesthetics of the equipment and make it more in line with the aesthetic requirements of modern industrial sites.
[0110] Through its unique appearance design or logo, the robot housing 28 can make the device easier to identify in a complex environment, and facilitate operators and managers to quickly locate and operate. At the same time, the robot housing 28 adopts a modular design, which is easy to disassemble and assemble. It not only facilitates the daily maintenance and care of the equipment, but also makes it easy to upgrade or modify the equipment when necessary, and design and replace the robot housing 28 with different appearances.
[0111] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention.
