[0037] Embodiment 2:
[0038] like Figure 7 As shown, the present invention utilizes a control unit 44 to control the environment perception module 42 to control the first sensing camera 9 and the second sensing camera 14. The first sensing camera 9 can scan the environment in front and behind, and can monitor whether the scanning image is horizontal during the scanning process. The support structure adjustment module 45 can be controlled to work so that the support rod 6 and the pad 7 support the device, and the rotation control module 43 is used to control the first motor 39 to rotate so that the second sensing camera 14 performs a full-scale scan of the surrounding environment, and the analysis module 46 is used to analyze the scanned information, which can be classified during the analysis process, and the transmission module 47 is used to classify and store the information when the information is transmitted to the database 48.
[0039] Working principle: When in use, the universal wheel 8 is rotated to move the base 1, thereby moving the robot body 2. During the walking process, the robot uses the first sensing camera 9 and the second sensing camera 14 to scan the front, back and surrounding environments respectively. During the scanning process, if the first sensing camera 9 finds pebbles or debris on the robot's walking route, the control unit 44 is used to control the support structure adjustment module 45 to work, and the second motor is used to drive the half gear 19 to rotate left and right, and the rack 20 is driven to move during the rotation process, so that the slider 23 moves outside the slide bar 21. The slider 23 drives the movable rod 18 to move during the movement, so that the push plate 16 is moved, and the push plate 16 is used to push the pebbles or debris in front of the universal wheel 8 to both sides of the robot's walking route to avoid affecting the robot's walking;
[0040] The scanned object is analyzed by the analysis module 46, and the information is transmitted to the database 48 through the transmission module 47 for storage, so that when the robot encounters a similar situation later, the second motor can work in time;
[0041] When the second sensing camera 14 is working, the control unit 44 is used to control the rotation control module 43 to work, so that the first motor 39 drives the rotating rod 27 to rotate, so that the first gear 26 and the second gear 28 rotate, and the third motor 53 drives the rotating member 50 to rotate, so that the second sensing camera 14 rotates vertically 360°. During the rotation process, the second sensing camera 14 is driven to rotate in all directions to avoid blind spots, and the environment around the robot can be scanned and stored in the database 48;
[0042] If the robot tilts on the left or right side during walking, the first sensing camera 9 is used to sense whether the picture remains horizontal. If tilted, the control unit 44 is used to control the support structure adjustment module 45 to work, and the electric rod 37 on the tilted side is used to push the movable plate 38 to move. During the movement, the second connecting rod 36 is used to drive the connecting sleeve 33 to move, thereby driving the support rod 6 to move. During the movement, the pad 7 supports the ground, so that the robot remains stable and avoids tipping. Protective plates 5 are provided on both sides of the robot body 2, and a pressure sensing unit is also installed inside the protective plate 5. If the robot body 2 collides on the left or right sides and is subjected to pressure, the information is transmitted to the control unit 44 in time, and the pad 7 is also used to cooperate with the ground to support the robot body 2.
[0043] A support frame 4 and a solar panel 3 are installed on the upper end of the robot body 2. When the robot is walking in the outside world, it can convert solar energy into electrical energy and store it in a battery 24. It can provide emergency power to the equipment inside the robot body 2 to ensure that the robot can still work when there is no power.
[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
