Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of inspection robots, and in particular relates to an intelligent inspection robot used for safe construction at a construction site. Background Art

[0002] Inspection robots are robots that can automatically walk along a preset route and conduct patrol inspections. They are usually equipped with a variety of sensors (such as cameras, infrared sensors, etc.) and communication modules, which can achieve real-time monitoring and analysis of equipment and environment.

[0003] The uneven ground of construction sites and the numerous obstacles such as debris and building materials greatly increase the difficulty of robot inspections. At the same time, existing inspection robots have limitations in monitoring angles, making it difficult to achieve comprehensive monitoring of all aspects of the site, which affects the effectiveness and accuracy of inspections. In addition, inspection robots on construction sites require continuous power supply and maintenance by humans, which not only increases maintenance costs but also reduces the inspection efficiency of inspection robots.

The solar panel 6 is electrically connected to the energy storage battery 11, and a plurality of the cameras 2 are connected to the central controller 10.

[0049] A connecting groove 14 is provided at the bottom of the robot body 1 , and the track structure 51 includes a rotating gear 511 and a track 512 . The driving motor is connected inside the robot body 1 , the rotating gear 511 is connected to the driving motor, and the track 512 is sleeved on the rotating gear 511 .

When encountering uneven ground, the motor is used to drive the rotating gear to drive the crawler to rotate, so that the crawler can walk on the uneven ground. When encountering a flat road, the motor drives the connecting rod to make the roller stick to the ground, and the crawler at the bottom of the robot body is suspended, and the motor drives the roller to move quickly. This structure can switch the walking mode according to the ground conditions of the on-site construction, which greatly improves the efficiency of the inspection. At the same time, by setting a number of rotatable spherical cameras on the robot body, and connecting the spherical cameras to the splicing equipment, the splicing equipment will synchronously splice the cameras in various directions to form a three-dimensional monitoring screen, so that the prediction module in the central processor can make predictions based on the pictures of various scenes in the three-dimensional space. Once a dangerous situation is predicted, the signal is automatically transmitted to the cloud, and the cloud sends the dangerous information to the mobile phones of the person in charge and the background monitor. The relevant person in charge takes measures to eliminate the dangerous factors as soon as possible, which greatly improves the quality of the inspection.
