Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of inspection robots, and in particular to an intelligent inspection robot. Background Art

[0002] Airports and highways have very strict requirements for road cleaning, especially in the removal of debris such as gravel. Airport runways and taxiways must be kept highly clean to ensure the safe takeoff and landing of aircraft. Any loose gravel or debris may pose a serious threat to aircraft takeoff and landing. Therefore, airport management usually uses special cleaning equipment, such as vacuum sweepers and high-pressure water guns, to clean regularly to ensure that the surface condition of the runway meets safety requirements. Especially on highways, a combination of mechanical cleaning and manual inspections is used to promptly remove road debris to ensure driving safety.

[0003] Automated robots often face the problems of short cruising distance and low battery efficiency during the cruising process. The short cruising distance means that the robot cannot cover the predetermined working area after one charge, which limits its scope of application. General inspection robots automatically collect gravel during use, which increases the load of the robot, causing the robot to frequently need to be charged when performing tasks, reducing the battery life of the robot. Returning to clean up the gravel also increases the robot's ineffective distance, reducing the robot's work efficiency and failing to meet the requirements of ground inspections at airports or highways.

[0022] As can be seen from the above, the intelligent inspection robot provided by the present invention has the following technical effects.

[0023] First, one end of the sliding rod touches the bottom end of the squeezing rod, and the squeezing spring squeezes the squeezing rod so that the squeezing rod squeezes the sliding rod, causing the sliding rod to slide into the inside of the block, and the moving plate and the collecting box stop moving until a certain mass of gravel is filled in the collecting box. At the specified position, it stops next to the fixed seat, and the moving motor is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction. The first rack and the shifting gear are meshed, and when the moving plate moves to the edge of the mounting plate, the first rack and the shifting gear begin to mesh, driving the sliding rod at one end of the support rod to slide toward the bottom of the sliding groove, causing the sliding rod to return from the top of the sliding groove to the bottom, and removing the collecting box and replacing it with a new one, which reduces the time for the robot to dump gravel and shortens the working path of the robot, reduces the load of the robot during inspection, and optimizes the use efficiency of the robot battery.

[0024] Second: at the edge of the mounting plate, the position of the moving plate begins to change from vertical to horizontal. Since the support rod supports the weight of the collection box, the position of the sliding slot on the moving plate changes, and the slide bar at one end of the support rod will slide inside the sliding slot from the bottom to the top. The limit spring squeezes the limit rod, and the block at one end of the limit rod keeps the position of the slide bar stable, causing the position of the collection box to change by ninety degrees. Since the position of the moving plate also changes by ninety degrees, the change of the collection box offsets the angle change of the moving plate, and the collection box always remains horizontal with the opening facing upward.

[0025] Third: During the robot's inspection, light garbage on the road, such as shredded paper and leaves, can be collected by the trash bin at the rear of the shell. The rotation of the rear wheel drives the active pulley, belt and driven pulley to rotate, thereby driving the sweeping wheel to rotate, sweeping the light garbage to the bottom of the funnel. By starting the air pump, the fan blades are driven to rotate, generating suction inside the air pump shell, sucking away the light garbage through the air inlet pipe and funnel, and blowing the garbage into the collection box through the air outlet pipe, achieving the effect of cleaning up road garbage.

[0026] Fourthly: when the cracks on the road surface are identified, the solenoid valve is controlled to open by the controller, so that the paint inside the paint can is sprayed onto the cracks on the ground, making it easy for repair personnel to observe the position.

[0040] In this embodiment, one end of the rotating frame 40 is rotatably connected to a support rod 48 near the clamping block 49;

[0041] A mechanical arm mechanism is installed on the upper surface of one end of the housing 1, and the mechanical arm mechanism is used to pick up obstacles such as gravel;

[0042] A collecting mechanism is installed on the upper surface of the side wall at the other end of the housing 1, and the collecting mechanism is used to collect light garbage, such as shredded paper and leaves;

[0043] A visual mechanism is installed on the upper surface of the housing 1 near the mechanical arm mechanism, and the visual mechanism is used to observe the road surface and automatically determine obstacles or road surface cracks.

[0044] A battery 18 is disposed on one side of the bottom inner wall of the housing 1 near the control board 19, and two forward motors 20 are disposed on the other side of the bottom inner wall of the housing 1 near the control board 19. One end of the output shaft of the forward motor 20 is respectively disposed with a front wheel 2. The bottom of the housing 1 is located at the bottom of the battery 18 and is rotatably connected to two rear wheels 7. , A block 49 is provided at one end of the rotating frame 40, a slot 56 is provided on one side of the block 49, a collecting box 4 is fixedly connected to one side of the block 49, a fixing seat 3 is provided at the bottom of the collecting box 4, a plurality of limit plates 35 are provided on the upper surface of the fixing seat 3, a driven gear 43 is meshed with a driving gear 44, a sliding rod is provided at the other end of the support rod 48, a shifting gear 55 is fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod, the sliding rod slides inside the sliding slot 53, the driven gear 43 is meshed with the second rack 39, the extrusion rod 52 pushes the sliding rod so that the sliding rod can mesh with the first rack 38 when it is inside the block 49.

[0045] In this embodiment, the forward motor 20 rotates to drive the front wheel 2. Two forward motors 20 are installed inside the housing 1 to drive the housing 1 forward. A single front wheel 2 rotates, while the other front wheel 2 does not rotate, so that the housing 1 can be turned, thereby achieving steering.

[0046] It should be noted that two fixed seats 3 are set every 500 meters along the path of the inspection robot, the top of one fixed seat 3 is empty, and an empty collecting box 4 is placed on the top of the other. A certain mass of gravel and other debris is collected inside the collecting box 4 on the mounting plate 9 on the top of the outer shell 1, and then the outer shell 1 is controlled by the control panel 19 to stop next to the fixed seat 3 at the specified position. The collecting box 4 containing the gravel is first unloaded and placed on the fixed seat 3 with an empty top.

[0047] The driven gear 43 and the second rack 39 are engaged by rotating the motion motor 45, so that the guide wheel slides inside the slide rail 36, driving the rotating frame 40, the moving plate 41 and the moving block 42 to move upward, thereby driving the rotating frame 40 to be stuck inside the block 49, thereby driving a new collection box 4 to move upward. Due to the supporting effect of the support rod 48, the collection box 4 does not rotate. At the edge of the mounting plate 9, the position of the moving plate 41 begins to change from vertical to horizontal. Since the support rod 48 supports the weight of the collection box 4, the position of the sliding groove 53 on the moving plate 41 changes, and the slide bar at one end of the support rod 48 will slide inside the sliding groove 53, sliding from the bottom end of the sliding groove 53 to the top end. The limit spring 47 squeezes the limit rod 46, and the block at one end of the limit rod 46 keeps the position of the slide bar stable, so that the position of the collection box 4 changes by ninety degrees. Since the position of the moving plate 41 also changes by ninety degrees, the change of the collection box 4 offsets the angle change of the moving plate 41, and the collection box 4 always remains horizontal with the opening upward.

[0048] Furthermore, the moving plate 41 and the rotating frame 40 on the upper surface of the mounting plate 9 drive the collecting box 4 to continue to slide to one side. At this time, the first rack 38 is not engaged with the shifting gear 55, and the shifting gear 55 is located above the first rack 38, until one end of the slide bar touches the bottom end of the squeezing rod 52, and the squeezing spring 51 squeezes the squeezing rod 52 so that the squeezing rod 52 squeezes the slide bar, so that the slide bar slides into the inside of the block 49, and the moving plate 41 and the collecting box 4 stop moving until a certain mass of gravel is filled in the collecting box 4, and it stops next to the fixed seat 3 at a specified position, and the moving motor 45 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the moving plate 41 and the collecting box 4 stop moving. The plate 41 returns, and at this time the slide bar is inside the block 49, and the first rack 38 and the shift gear 55 are meshed. When the moving plate 41 moves to the edge of the mounting plate 9, the first rack 38 and the shift gear 55 begin to mesh, driving the slide bar at one end of the support rod 48 to slide toward the bottom of the sliding groove 53, so that the slide bar returns from the top of the sliding groove 53 to the bottom. Similarly, the position of the collection box 4 is kept horizontal, and the collection box 4 is removed and replaced with a new collection box 4, which reduces the time for the robot to dump gravel and shortens the working path of the robot, reduces the load of the robot during inspection, and optimizes the use efficiency of the robot battery 18.

When the robot reaches the designated position, the gripping motor 25 is controlled to rotate to drive the picking gear to rotate, and the incomplete gear is driven to rotate so that the two grippers 24 rotate relative to each other, and the gravel is clamped and put into the collection box 4, so as to achieve the accurate picking of obstacles such as gravel, and realize the effect of automatically cleaning road obstacles. When the road cracks are identified, the solenoid valve 22 is controlled to open by the controller, so that the paint inside the paint can 23 is sprayed to the cracks on the ground, so that the repair personnel can easily observe the position. During the inspection of the robot, light garbage on the road surface, such as shredded paper and leaves, can be collected by the garbage bin 8 at the rear of the shell 1. The rotation of the rear wheel 7 drives the active pulley 5, the belt 6 and the driven pulley to rotate, thereby driving the sweeping wheel 17 to rotate, and the light garbage is swept to the bottom of the funnel 16, and the air pump 1 is started. 1, drives the fan blade 14 to rotate, generates suction inside the air pump housing 13, sucks away light garbage through the air inlet pipe 15 and the funnel 16, blows the garbage into the collection box 4 through the air outlet pipe 12, and achieves the effect of cleaning road garbage. Two fixed seats 3 are set every 500 meters along the path of the inspection robot, one fixed seat 3 is empty on the top, and an empty collection box 4 is placed on the top of the other. A certain amount of gravel and other debris is collected inside the collection box 4 on the mounting plate 9 on the top of the shell 1, and then the control panel 19 is used to control the shell 1 to stop next to the fixed seat 3 at the specified position. First, remove the collection box 4 with gravel, and place it on the fixed seat 3 with an empty top. The driven gear 43 is driven by the rotation of the motion motor 45 to engage with the second rack 39, so that the guide The wheel slides inside the slide rail 36, driving the rotating frame 40, the moving plate 41 and the moving block 42 to move upward, thereby driving the rotating frame 40 to be stuck inside the block 49, thereby driving a new collection box 4 to move upward. Due to the supporting effect of the support rod 48, the collection box 4 does not rotate. At the edge of the mounting plate 9, the position of the moving plate 41 begins to change from vertical to horizontal. Since the support rod 48 supports the weight of the collection box 4, the position of the sliding groove 53 on the moving plate 41 changes, and the slide bar at one end of the support rod 48 slides inside the sliding groove 53 from the bottom end to the top end of the sliding groove 53. The limit spring 47 squeezes the limit rod 46. The block at one end of the limit rod 46 keeps the position of the slide bar stable, so that the position of the collection box 4 changes by ninety degrees.Since the position of the moving plate 41 also changes by ninety degrees, the change of the collecting box 4 offsets the angle change of the moving plate 41, and the collecting box 4 always remains horizontal with its opening facing upward. The moving plate 41 and the rotating frame 40 on the upper surface of the mounting plate 9 drive the collecting box 4 to continue to slide to one side. At this time, the first rack 38 is not engaged with the shifting gear 55, and the shifting gear 55 is located above the first rack 38, until one end of the slide bar touches the bottom end of the squeezing rod 52, and the squeezing spring 51 squeezes the squeezing rod 52 so that the squeezing rod 52 squeezes the slide bar, causing the slide bar to slide into the inside of the block 49, and the moving plate 41 and the collecting box 4 stop moving until a certain mass of gravel is filled in the collecting box 4 and stops at the designated position. Next to the fixed seat 3, the motion motor 45 is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction to make the motion plate 41 return. At this time, the slide bar is inside the block 49, and the first rack 38 and the shifting gear 55 are meshed. When the motion plate 41 moves to the edge of the mounting plate 9, the first rack 38 and the shifting gear 55 begin to mesh, driving the slide bar at one end of the support rod 48 to slide toward the bottom of the sliding groove 53, so that the slide bar returns from the top of the sliding groove 53 to the bottom. Similarly, the position of the collection box 4 is kept horizontal. Removing the collection box 4 and replacing it with a new one reduces the time for the robot to dump gravel and shortens the robot's working path, reduces the load of the robot during inspection, and optimizes the use efficiency of the robot battery 18.
