Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0041] In the description of the embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0042] In the description of this specification, the description with reference to the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" etc. means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the embodiments of the present invention. In this specification, the schematic expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the described specific features, structures, materials or characteristics may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine the different embodiments or examples and the features of the different embodiments or examples described in this specification without contradiction.

[0043] With the rapid growth of economic development and people's travel needs, the road transportation industry has developed rapidly. The number of motor vehicles, the number of drivers, and the road mileage have continued to grow, the level of urban motorization has further improved, and road traffic safety has become increasingly complex.

[0044] At present, road traffic conditions are mainly obtained by traffic authorities and driving terminal equipment, and the efficiency of obtaining road safety conditions and abnormal events is extremely low.

[0045] In view of the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a patrol robot that can move back and forth along the guardrails of the road to obtain road traffic conditions in real time.

[0046] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a use scenario of an inspection robot provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram showing another angle of the usage scenario; Figure 3 for Figure 2 The partial enlarged view of A in the figure shows the overall structure of the inspection robot. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the inspection robot can move back and forth along the guardrail 400 of the road to inspect the road traffic conditions and obtain the road traffic conditions in real time.

[0047] In some examples, guardrail 400 is installed on both sides of roads, urban roads, and highways.

[0048] In some examples, a green area is provided in the middle of a highway or a city road, and the guardrail 400 is arranged around the green area.

[0049] In some examples, guardrail 400 is used to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles and to prevent the vehicle from losing control and running off the road.

[0050] In some examples, guardrail 400 has reflective markings to provide clear warnings to drivers at night or in bad weather, thereby enhancing road safety.

[0051] It can be seen that the role of guardrail 400 in road traffic is particularly obvious.

[0052] In some examples, road traffic conditions may include abnormal accident information, such as traffic accidents, vehicle congestion, abnormal parking, etc.

[0053] In some examples, road traffic conditions may also include road surface condition information, such as whether there are cracks, potholes, or other damage to the road surface. Furthermore, the length, width, and depth of the cracks or potholes may be obtained.

[0054] In some examples, road traffic conditions may also include the status of traffic facilities, such as missing guardrails, damaged road markings, missing manhole covers, etc.

[0055] It should be noted that the aforementioned abnormal accident information, road condition information and traffic facility status are all examples of road traffic conditions. The content of the road traffic conditions can be determined based on the actual situation of the road layout of the inspection robot. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the content of the road traffic conditions.

[0056] In some examples, in order to obtain road traffic conditions in real time, in the related technology, a robot is set on a guardrail, and the guardrail is used as a track for the robot to walk, and the road traffic conditions are monitored by monitoring equipment and alarm equipment configured on the robot.

[0057] In some examples, when the robot moves in coordination with the guardrail, the robot occupies a larger area of ​​the guardrail, causing the reflective signs to fail to serve as a warning at night or in bad weather.

[0058] In some examples, when the robot moves in coordination with the guardrail, the contact area between the robot and the guardrail is large, resulting in obvious wear and tear on the guardrail, which significantly reduces the service life of the guardrail. As a result, the appearance of the robot not only does not benefit traffic supervision, but instead damages the original traffic environment.

[0059] In view of this, the inspection robot provided in the embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 for Figure 3 The structural schematic diagram of the inspection robot shown; Figure 5 for Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of the inspection robot from another angle; Figure 6 for Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the structure of the inspection robot from another perspective; Figure 7 for Figure 4 A structural schematic diagram of the inspection robot from another perspective; Figure 8 for Figure 4 A structural schematic diagram of the inspection robot from another perspective; Fig. 9 for Figure 4 The exploded structure diagram of the inspection robot is shown in FIG. Figures 4 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the inspection robot includes a robot body 200, and the robot body 200 is used to deploy an inspection structure 220 to obtain road traffic conditions.

[0060] In some embodiments, the inspection structure 220 may include, but is not limited to, one or more of a camera, a red and blue light, a speaker, a flash light, and a display screen.

[0061] In some examples, the robot body 200 may be a shell structure.

[0062] In some embodiments, the inspection robot further includes a moving part 500 , which is connected to the robot body 200 , and cooperates with the guide rail 100 , wherein the guide rail 100 and the guardrail 400 are spaced apart along the height direction H of the road.

[0063] In some examples, the moving member 500 is suspended on the guide rail 100, and drives the robot body 200 to move along the guide rail 100. Thus, the inspection robot uses the guide rail 100 configured independently of the guardrail 400 to move back and forth along the guardrail 400, preventing the inspection robot from causing damage to the function and structure of the guardrail 400 when working, ensuring the service life of the guardrail 400 and maintaining the safety protection function of the guardrail 400 for road traffic.

[0064] In some examples, the moving member 500 may be configured as a roller.

[0065] In some examples, the moving member 500 may be configured as a pulley or a wheel.

[0066] In some examples, the extension direction of the guide rail 100 is consistent with the extension direction of the guardrail 400 .

[0067] In some examples, the guardrails 400 are arranged on both sides of the road, and the guide rails 100 are also arranged on both sides of the road.

[0068] In some examples, a green area is set in the middle of a highway or urban road, and the guardrail 400 is arranged around the green area. Then, the guide rail 100 is also arranged around the green area (such as Figure 1 shown).

[0069] Since the vehicle travels along the road surface, it only needs to occupy a height space on the road space that is slightly larger than the height of the vehicle. In order to reduce the impact of laying the guide rail 100 on the road space, in some examples, the guide rail 100 is further away from the road surface than the guardrail 400 in the height direction H. In this way, the impact of the inspection robot on the reflective signs on the guardrail 400 and the like during its movement along the guardrail 400 can be reduced. In addition, such a design can reduce the probability of a vehicle colliding with the inspection robot when it accidentally rushes towards the guardrail 400, thereby effectively reducing the probability of the inspection robot being damaged, increasing the service life of the inspection robot, and reducing the subsequent maintenance costs.

[0070] Since road space is particularly important in road traffic, any blind spots or obstructions may cause traffic accidents. In order to reduce the impact of laying the guide rail 100 on the road space, in some embodiments, the guide rail 100 is fixed to the ground through a hanger 150, and the hanger 150 is located on the side of the guide rail 100 facing away from the road to prevent the hanger 150 from occupying road space, so that more road space can be provided to traffic vehicles.

[0071] like Figure 2 As shown, in some examples, the boom 150 includes a boom body 152 and a first connecting section 151, the boom body 152 is located on the side of the guide rail 100 facing away from the road, the first connecting section 151 is fixedly connected to the first end of the boom body 152, and is wound along the height direction H to the upper top surface of the guide rail 100, and is fixedly connected to the guide rail 100 on the upper top surface.

[0072] In some examples, there is a gap between the boom body 152 and the guide rail 100 to prevent the boom body 152 from interfering with the inspection robot.

[0073] In some examples, the gap size between the boom body 152 and the guide rail 100 is determined based on the outline size of the inspection robot.

[0074] In some examples, the first connecting section 151 may be a hollow tube.

[0075] In some examples, the boom 150 further includes a second connecting segment 153 , which is fixedly connected to the second end of the boom body 152 and extends to be fixedly connected to the ground.

[0076] In some examples, the first end of the boom body 152 is the upper end of the boom body 152 along the height direction H; and the second end of the boom body 152 is the lower end of the boom body 152 along the height direction H.

[0077] In some examples, the second connection section 153 may be fixedly connected to the ground via a ground nail.

[0078] It should be noted that the fixed connection with the ground through the ground nail is an example of the connection between the second connecting section 153 and the ground, and the present application does not limit this.

[0079] Fig.10 for Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the structure of the cooperation between the moving parts and the guide rails in the inspection robot shown; Fig.11 for Fig.10 Schematic diagram of the exploded structure of the moving part and the guide rail; Fig.12 for Fig.10 The schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the moving part and the guide rail is shown in FIG. Figures 10 to 12 As shown, in some embodiments, one of the moving member 500 and the guide rail 100 is provided with a protrusion 320, and the other is provided with a recess 310, and the protrusion 320 and the recess 310 cooperate to enable the moving member 500 to move along the extension direction T2 of the guide rail 100. In this way, the inspection robot can move along the extension direction T2 of the guide rail 100, thereby obtaining the road traffic situation in real time through the inspection structure 220, and improving the efficiency of traffic supervision.

[0080] It can be understood that the extension direction of the guide rail 100 is consistent with the extension direction of the guardrail 400 .

[0081] In some examples, the protrusion 320 is located in the recessed portion 310 and is always tightly fitted during the movement, thereby ensuring that the inspection robot moves along the guide rail 100 without falling out of the guide rail 100 .

[0082] In some embodiments, the protrusion 320 and the recessed portion 310 are constructed so that the cross-sectional profile of the protrusion 320 is different from the cross-sectional profile of the recessed portion 310; so that the recessed portion 310 and the protrusion 320 are configured to be in line contact, so as to reduce the contact area of ​​the protrusion 320 and the recessed portion 310, thereby reducing the friction between the moving part 500 and the guide rail 100, reducing the kinetic energy required to drive the inspection robot to move, and extending the service life of the moving part 500 and the guide rail 100.

[0083] like Fig.12 As shown, taking the example of the recessed portion 310 being arranged on the moving part 500 and the protruding portion 320 being arranged on the guide rail 100, the cross-sectional profile of the recessed portion 310 can be "concave", that is, including a bottom wall 311, a first side wall 312 and a second side wall 313, and the first side wall 312 and the second side wall 313 are arranged at an angle to the bottom wall 311, and the first side wall 312, the second side wall 313 and the bottom wall 311 are arranged to form a accommodating space.

[0084] In some examples, the cross-sectional profile of the protrusion 320 may be "V" shaped, that is, the surface of the protrusion 320 is a conical surface. In this case, the protrusion 320 is at least partially located in the accommodating space, and the conical surface of the protrusion 320 abuts against the first side wall 312 or the second side wall 313 of the recess 310 to form a line contact.

[0085] It can be understood that in the example where the recessed portion 310 is disposed on the guide rail 100 and the protruding portion 320 is disposed on the moving part 500, the cross-sectional profile of the protruding portion 320 can be "V" shaped, and the cross-sectional profile of the recessed portion 310 can be "concave" shaped, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0086] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional profile of the recessed portion 310 may also be configured as an incomplete circle, arc, sawtooth, or other shapes, which is not limited in the present application.

[0087] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional profile of the protrusion 320 may also be configured as an incomplete circle, arc, sawtooth, or other shapes, which is not limited in the present application.

[0088] It is understandable that when the position where the protrusion 320 and the recessed portion 310 abut against each other includes an edge, the edge position can be rounded or slightly planarized to reduce the damage to the protrusion 320 or the recessed portion 310 caused by the high pressure generated when the edge position is squeezed.

[0089] In some embodiments, the recessed portion 310 is configured to be recessed inwardly along the circumference of the moving member 500, and the protruding portion 320 is configured to be protrudingly arranged on the inner side of the guide rail 100 and extending along the extension direction T2 of the guide rail 100. The protruding portion 320 is arranged on the guide rail, which is conducive to reducing the shaking of the moving member 500 in the height direction H and improving the smoothness of the movement of the inspection robot. In addition, the protruding portion 320 is arranged on the guide rail 100, and the recessed portion 310 is arranged on the guide rail 100, which is convenient for calibration when assembling the recessed portion 310 and the protruding portion 320, and is easy to clean and maintain.

[0090] In some examples, the cross-sectional profiles of the protrusion 320 and the recess 310 may refer to the aforementioned embodiments.

[0091] In some embodiments, the recessed portion 310 can be configured as a notch, which is hollowed out inward along the circumferential edge of an end face of the moving part 500 close to the center of the earth to form a larger space for cooperating with the protrusion 320. The cross-sectional profile of the protrusion 320 on the guide rail 100 can be flexibly constructed based on the load size of the inspection structure 220, thereby expanding the applicable scenarios of the moving part 500.

[0092] It is understandable that, when the requirements for traffic inspection are different, the inspection structure 220 will be equipped with different devices, and the loads of different devices are different. Accordingly, the loads that the protrusion 320 or the recessed portion 310 need to bear are also different. For example, when the load of the inspection structure 220 is large, the cross-sectional profile of the protrusion 320 can be constructed as an arc, such as an incomplete ellipse or circle, so that the stress generated by the load can be evenly distributed on the protrusion 320, thereby reducing the possibility of the protrusion 320 collapsing due to excessive local stress, thereby extending the service life of the guide rail 100 and saving maintenance costs.

[0093] As another example, when the load of the inspection structure 220 is relatively small, the cross-sectional profile of the protrusion 320 can be constructed as a rectangular structure or the like, which is easy to position and can save space.

[0094] In some embodiments, the depth dimension of the notch is greater than the protruding dimension of the protrusion 320 , so that the protrusion 320 is located in the notch, enhancing the embedding depth between the protrusion 320 and the recess 310 , thereby enhancing the stability of the connection between the protrusion 320 or the recess 310 .

[0095] It should be noted that the depth dimension can be understood as the dimension of the notch along the width direction T1 or the extension direction T2. ​​The protrusion dimension can be understood as the dimension of the protrusion 320 along the width direction T1.

[0096] In some embodiments, the recessed portion 310 is configured as a groove, and the groove is configured to extend inwardly along the circumference of the moving member 500, and the protrusion 320 abuts against the two side walls of the groove, that is, between the first side wall 312 and the second side wall 313. Among them, the first side wall 312 and the second side wall 313 are spaced apart along the height direction H, and the axial direction of the moving member 500 is also spaced apart along the height direction H. Then, by abutting the protrusion 320 against the first side wall 312 and the second side wall 313 of the groove, the moving member 500 can be positioned in its axial direction, and the moving member 500 is prevented from vibrating along the height direction H during the movement along the guide rail 100, thereby improving the stability of the inspection robot moving along the guide rail 100.

[0097] In addition, since there is a line contact between the protrusion 320 and the groove, when there is local unevenness on the surface of the protrusion 320 of the guide rail 100, the moving member 500 can also move along the guide rail 100, thereby improving the stability of the cooperation between the groove and the protrusion 320.

[0098] like Fig.12 In the example shown, the groove includes a bottom wall 311, a first side wall 312 and a second side wall 313, and the two opposite surfaces of the protrusion 320 abut against the two side walls of the groove, that is, the first surface 321 abuts against the first side wall 312, and the second surface 322 abuts against the second side wall 313, so as to achieve the positioning of the moving part 500 along its own axial direction.

[0099] In some embodiments, the moving part 500 is connected to the robot body 200 along its own axial rotation so that the protrusion 320 and the recessed part 310 roll relative to each other, so that the friction between the moving part 500 and the guide rail 100 is rolling friction, thereby reducing the friction force between the moving part 500 and the guide rail 100, reducing friction loss, and improving the service life of the moving part 500 and the guide rail 100.

[0100] In some embodiments, the inspection robot includes a rotating shaft 610 , which passes through the moving member 500 and is rotationally connected to the moving member 500 , so as to realize a rolling connection between the moving member 500 and the guide rail 100 .

[0101] In some examples, the inspection robot further includes a nut 620 and a gasket 630 , wherein the gasket 630 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 610 , and the nut 620 is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 610 so that the gasket 630 is located between the nut 620 and the moving part 500 .

[0102] Among them, placing the gasket 630 between the nut 620 and the moving part 500 can effectively reduce the structural damage to the moving part 500 caused by vibration during the movement of the inspection robot. In addition, the nut 620 is threadedly connected to the rotating shaft 610, which can realize the pre-tightening of the rotating shaft 610, thereby reducing the delay of driving the moving part 500 to rotate and improving the inspection efficiency of the inspection robot.

[0103] In some examples, the nut 620 and the rotating shaft 610 may be an integrally formed structure.

[0104] like Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments, the inspection robot may include two moving parts 500, and the two moving parts 500 are arranged side by side on the robot body 200 along the extension direction T2 of the guide rail 100; at this time, the inspection robot includes two rotating shafts 610, two nuts 620, two washers 630, and also includes a limit plate, the two rotating shafts 610 pass through the two moving parts 500 respectively, and are respectively rotatably connected with the two moving parts 500; the limit plate 640 is sleeved on the two moving parts 500 at intervals; the two nuts 620 are respectively threadedly connected to one end of the two moving parts 500, and the two washers 630 are respectively sleeved on the two moving parts 500 and the washers 630 are located between the nuts 620 and the limit plate. Here, the limit plates 640 are sleeved on the two moving parts 500 at intervals, so as to realize the positioning of the two moving parts 500 along their own radial direction, that is, to prevent the moving parts 500 from shaking along the extension direction T2 during the movement along the guide rail 100.

[0105] In some examples, the number of the moving parts 500 arranged side by side on the robot body 200 along the extension direction T2 of the guide rail 100 may be four, five or other numbers, which is not limited in the present application.

[0106] like Fig.10 In the example shown, two moving members 500 may be spaced apart along the width direction T1 of the guide rail 100 , and the present application does not impose any specific limitation on this.

[0107] In some examples, when the load of the inspection structure is large, three, four or other numbers of moving members 500 may be provided along the width direction T1 of the guide rail 100 .

[0108] In some embodiments, the robot body 200 includes a shell, and the shell is used to arrange the inspection structure 220.

[0109] like Fig. 9 As shown, the housing includes a first sub-housing 201 and a second sub-housing 202, and the first sub-housing 201 is fixedly connected to the upper portion of the second sub-housing 202. The upper portion is used to describe the positional relationship along the height direction H based on the orientation shown in the drawings.

[0110] In some examples, the camera may be located within the first sub-housing 201 .

[0111] In some examples, in order to implement the camera function of the camera, the first sub-housing 201 corresponding to the camera range of the camera can be set to be transparent.

[0112] In some examples, the speaker may be disposed on the outside of the second sub-housing 202 so that the traffic instructions issued by the speaker can be more easily received by drivers or pedestrians.

[0113] In some examples, the robot body 200 also includes a connecting plate 210, which is constructed as a first part 211 and a second part 212 connected at an angle, and the first part 211 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the shell so that the second part 212 is located at the top or bottom of the shell; wherein the moving part 500 is connected to the second part 212.

[0114] It is understandable that the moving member 500 is connected to the second part 212 to cooperate with the guide rail 100 to realize the movement of the inspection robot along the extension direction of the guide rail. Then, the guide rail 100, the second part 212 and the robot body 200 are in the same width range in one direction. Then, the first part 211 is connected to the side wall of the shell to enclose a larger space with the second part for arranging the shell and the inspection structure 220 thereon, thereby reducing the occupation of the road space by the inspection robot.

[0115] Based on the same concept, an embodiment of the present application also provides a robot inspection system, including a guide rail 100 and the aforementioned inspection robot, wherein the robot can move back and forth along the guide rail 100 to obtain road traffic conditions through the inspection structure 220.
