[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.
[0025] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, an unmanned emergency robot chassis control system is provided, the system comprising:
[0026] A power system, comprising a generator, an inverter and a battery, wherein the generator is used to output power electricity, the inverter is used to convert the power electricity into electric energy suitable for the chassis control system, and store the electric energy in the battery; the battery is used to provide a backup power supply for the chassis control system when the generator stops working;
[0027] A driving system, including a hydraulic motor and a hydraulic motor, wherein the hydraulic motor is used to drive the driving wheels of the chassis to control the movement of the robot; the hydraulic motor is connected to the hydraulic motor and works in coordination with the hydraulic motor to provide the required power output;
[0028] A power management system, including a power converter, which is used to convert the electric energy output by the battery into a 24V voltage to provide power for the robot control system and the backup hardware module;
[0029] PLC control system, used to control the robot movement, the working status of each module and the coordinated operation with other hardware modules;
[0030] A UWB positioning system is connected to the PLC control system, and the UWB positioning system is used to provide accurate position data of the robot in the environment and support path planning and navigation.
[0031] The unmanned emergency robot chassis control system of this embodiment combines the power system, drive system, power management system, PLC control system and UWB positioning system. Through the organic combination of these key modules, the unmanned emergency robot can operate autonomously and efficiently in complex environments. The power system of this embodiment includes a generator, an inverter and a battery. The generator is used to provide the power electricity required by the robot, and converts the power electricity into electrical energy suitable for the chassis control system through the inverter. The output power of the generator is not only used to drive the main actions of the robot, but also converts the electricity into electrical energy that can be stored in the battery through the inverter. The inverter can convert the power electricity of the generator into a voltage and current that matches the system requirements to ensure the stable operation of the chassis control system.
[0032] When the generator stops working, the system automatically switches to battery power mode. In this mode, the battery acts as a backup power source to provide continuous power supply to the robot. The power management module connects the battery and inverter to monitor the battery power and health in real time. Through the power management module, the system can intelligently adjust the battery's power distribution and power supply priority to ensure the stability of the robot under long-term work or high-load conditions.
[0033] This design can effectively solve the problem of insufficient power of the unmanned emergency robot under high-load operation mentioned in the background technology, allowing the robot to operate stably for a long time. Even when the generator stops working, it can rely on the battery to provide continuous power to the system.
[0034] The drive system of this embodiment adopts a combination of a hydraulic motor and a hydraulic motor, which solves the problem of the motor being too large and taking up space when the load of the traditional electric drive system increases. In the hydraulic drive system, the hydraulic motor transmits power through hydraulic fluid to drive the drive wheels of the chassis. The hydraulic motor and the hydraulic motor are connected through high-pressure hydraulic pipelines and work together to provide the power output required by the robot. The compact structure of the hydraulic motor allows the robot to maintain a small size and efficient driving capability even under high load conditions.
[0035] The design of the hydraulic system enables the system to automatically adjust the hydraulic flow when facing different loads, ensuring the stability of the drive wheels and the accuracy of motion control. Compared with traditional electric drive systems, this drive system will not increase the size of the motor and limit the installation space when the load increases, thus improving the maneuverability of the robot in complex environments, especially enabling more flexible operation in narrow spaces.
[0036] The power management system converts the power output of the battery into 24V voltage through the power converter, providing stable power for the robot control system and other hardware modules (such as hydraulic system, PLC controller, sensor, etc.). In this system, the power converter adjusts the output voltage and current according to the power requirements of each module of the robot to ensure that each module can obtain the best power supply.
[0037] The power management system also includes a battery monitoring function that can monitor the battery power and health status in real time to avoid over-discharge or over-charging and extend the battery life. During the operation of the robot, the system will automatically switch the power source (such as switching from generator to battery) according to the changes in battery power to ensure that the robot can operate stably for a long time.
[0038] The PLC control system is the core control module in the present invention, which is responsible for all motion control of the robot, the working state management of each module, and the coordinated operation with other hardware modules. The PLC control system adjusts the motion state of the robot and the working mode of each hardware module in real time by receiving feedback information from modules such as sensors, positioning systems, and hydraulic systems.
[0039] The PLC control system is highly programmable and can be flexibly configured according to different task requirements. For example, when performing emergency firefighting tasks, the PLC system can automatically adjust the robot's movement speed and control the opening and closing of the injection device according to the status of the hydraulic system; when performing navigation tasks, the PLC system can dynamically plan the robot's route based on the location information provided by the UWB positioning system.
[0040] The UWB (ultra-wideband) positioning system is connected to the PLC control system to provide accurate positioning information for the robot. The UWB system receives signals from base stations in the environment and combines it with the positioning module of the robot to calculate the precise position of the robot in real time. This system can support the path planning and autonomous navigation of the robot. The UWB positioning system has high positioning accuracy and can provide stable positioning data in complex environments (such as indoors, basements or dense urban environments), solving the difficulties of using traditional positioning technologies (such as GPS) in complex environments. By linking with the PLC control system, the UWB positioning system can provide accurate navigation information for the robot and support the robot's autonomous navigation in different environments.
[0041] This embodiment solves multiple technical problems in the existing unmanned emergency robot chassis control system through comprehensive design, and has significant technical effects:
[0042] In this embodiment, the generator in the power system is connected to the battery through an inverter. The inverter can automatically switch to the battery power supply mode when the generator stops working. The inverter and the battery are connected through a power management module. The power management module is used to monitor the battery power in real time and adjust the power distribution.
[0043] This embodiment ensures that the robot can continue to work when the generator stops by seamlessly switching between the inverter and the battery, thereby solving the problem that the traditional unmanned robot cannot continue to work in the case of power outage. The efficient regulation of the power management module ensures the maximum utilization of power resources, enabling the robot to perform long-term tasks in complex environments. This technical solution provides the robot with a more reliable and flexible power management capability. When facing power outages or equipment failures, the robot can smoothly switch to the backup power supply to ensure that the robot can continue to operate, especially in tasks such as emergency rescue, the robot does not need to worry about stopping midway due to insufficient power, thereby improving the emergency response capability of the robot. The intelligent battery management and charging control strategy effectively avoids over-discharge and over-charging, prolongs the service life of the battery, and ensures the efficient operation of the battery. The power management module adjusts the charge and discharge state of the battery in real time according to different working environments and task requirements, thereby optimizing the overall performance of the battery. Through the precise regulation of the power management module on the distribution of electric energy, the system can avoid excessive use of unnecessary electricity, thereby reducing energy waste. This is especially important for unmanned emergency robots that need to run for a long time, because it can significantly improve the robot's operating time and task completion rate, especially in unattended environments.
[0044] The design of this embodiment not only optimizes the power utilization efficiency of the robot through efficient power switching and intelligent power management, but also enhances the reliability and safety of the system, allowing the unmanned emergency robot to operate more stably and continuously in complex environments.
[0045] In one embodiment, the hydraulic motor and the hydraulic motor in the drive system are connected through a hydraulic pipeline. The hydraulic pipeline adopts a high-pressure sealing design, and the hydraulic pipeline includes a pressure sensor. The pressure sensor is used to monitor the working pressure of the hydraulic system in real time and transmit the monitoring data to the PLC control system.
[0046] This embodiment solves the problems of low efficiency, excessive or insufficient load in the hydraulic drive system of the traditional unmanned emergency robot through the precise design of the hydraulic motor, hydraulic motor and hydraulic pipeline and the real-time monitoring of the pressure sensor. Through precise pressure control and regulation, the robot of the present invention can operate stably in a complex and high-load environment, ensuring that the robot will not fail due to unstable pressure when performing emergency tasks.
[0047] In addition, through real-time data feedback and intelligent adjustment mechanisms, this embodiment significantly improves the operating efficiency of the hydraulic system, reduces energy waste, and effectively avoids hydraulic system failures caused by overload or overpressure. This enables the robot to maintain stable operation under long-term and high-load conditions, ensuring its continuous operation capability in complex environments.
[0048] This embodiment not only improves the reliability and intelligence of the hydraulic drive system of the unmanned emergency robot, but also enhances the robot's emergency response capabilities in various high-load operating environments, and has important technological breakthroughs and innovative value.
[0049] In this embodiment, the power management system further includes an intelligent charging control module, which is used to automatically adjust the charging method according to the power of the battery, and the charging control module can automatically adjust the charging current according to environmental conditions.
[0050] Through the application of the intelligent charging control module, the present invention can achieve efficient and safe battery charging management. The charging process is not only intelligent and automated, but also can be dynamically adjusted according to the external environment and battery status, thereby effectively extending the service life of the battery and ensuring the reliability and stability of the power system under various environmental conditions. Especially in complex emergency environments, the intelligent charging control module can ensure that the unmanned emergency robot continues to operate and complete tasks, greatly improving the robot's efficiency and operational capabilities.
[0051] In addition, the intelligent charging control module ensures that the robot always maintains sufficient power support during long-term high-load operation through seamless integration with the PLC system and collaboration with the power management system. This solves the defects of traditional robots' low charging efficiency and the system's inability to cope with complex environmental problems, and improves the robot's reliability during emergency operations.
[0052] In one embodiment, the system further includes a wireless communication module, which is connected to the PLC control system and is used to transmit data with an external device via a wireless network, wherein the data includes the robot position, working status and target sensor information.
[0053] By introducing a wireless communication module, this embodiment of the present invention can realize real-time data interaction and remote control between the robot and external devices. The integration of the wireless communication module effectively solves the problem of remote monitoring and control of unmanned emergency robots in complex environments, allowing the robot to transmit its position, working status and sensor information to the remote control center or operator in real time during the execution of the task, ensuring that the task can be executed efficiently and in a timely manner. In addition, the system can also operate the robot through remote commands to flexibly respond to dynamic changes on site.
[0054] The application of wireless communication modules improves the autonomy and intelligence of robots, ensuring that robots can obtain remote support and adjust work strategies in a timely manner when performing complex tasks. Through stable and reliable data transmission, operators can fully understand the working status of robots, so as to intervene or correct them in time, ensuring that robots can complete emergency tasks safely and stably in extreme environments.
[0055] In one embodiment, the system includes an environment monitoring module, which is used to detect the surrounding environment of the robot. The environment monitoring module includes a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor and a smoke sensor. The environment monitoring module is connected to the PLC control system for real-time collection of environmental information.
[0056] This embodiment solves the need for unmanned emergency robots to monitor surrounding conditions in real time in complex environments by adding an environmental monitoring module. The module can detect key environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity and smoke in real time, providing a basis for intelligent decision-making for the robot. The collaborative work of the environmental monitoring module and the PLC control system enables the robot to dynamically adjust its operating strategy according to environmental changes, avoid operating under extreme conditions, and ensure the safety and reliability of the robot in high temperature, high humidity or harmful gas environments. At the same time, real-time environmental data collection and remote transmission functions improve the robot's autonomy and flexibility, enabling the robot to perform emergency tasks in complex and dangerous environments, and provide effective environmental perception capabilities, further improving emergency response capabilities and work efficiency.
[0057] In one embodiment, the hydraulic motor and the hydraulic motor are connected via a multi-stage hydraulic valve control unit, and the hydraulic valve control unit is used to adjust the motion state of the hydraulic motor and the hydraulic motor to ensure the smooth movement of the robot.
[0058] Through the introduction of the hydraulic valve control unit in this embodiment, the present invention significantly improves the robot's motion control performance, especially its maneuverability in complex environments. The hydraulic valve control unit can achieve fine flow and pressure regulation, so that the robot can smoothly and flexibly adjust the motion state when performing various tasks, avoiding the problems of reduced control accuracy and unstable motion caused by traditional robots under high load conditions. In addition, the control unit can also automatically adjust the pressure and flow of the hydraulic system according to the load and environmental conditions of the robot, thereby improving energy efficiency and extending the service life of the hydraulic system. Overall, the hydraulic valve control unit greatly improves the robot's adaptability in complex and dynamic environments, and enhances the reliability and accuracy of the robot when performing emergency tasks.
[0059] In one embodiment, the UWB positioning system is connected to the PLC control system, and the UWB positioning system includes a plurality of UWB sensors, which are distributed in the robot and the working environment and are used to obtain positioning data of the robot in a multi-dimensional space.
[0060] By integrating the UWB positioning system with the PLC control system, this embodiment of the invention can provide the unmanned emergency robot with high-precision, real-time positioning capabilities, greatly improving the reliability of robot navigation and path planning in complex working environments. The accuracy and anti-interference capabilities of UWB positioning technology ensure that the robot can move freely in any small and complex environment and accurately perform tasks. Combined with other control modules and hardware components, the UWB positioning system provides the robot with higher autonomy, enhances the efficiency and reliability of the robot when performing tasks, and can significantly improve the safety and success rate of robot operations, especially in high-risk tasks such as emergency rescue and disaster response.
[0061] In one embodiment, the PLC control system obtains the operating status and environmental data of the robot through a sensor module, and the sensor module includes a current sensor, a voltage sensor, a temperature sensor and an acceleration sensor.
