[0031] Tracked inspection vehicles are typically used for detecting defects in tunnels under trackless conditions. Since tunnels are usually circular in cross-section, the tracks of existing tracked inspection vehicles cannot make complete contact with the tunnel surface when traveling in a circular tunnel. The contact area is small, resulting in unstable travel. Furthermore, due to the incomplete contact between the tracks and the tunnel surface, the overall stress on the tracks is uneven, making them prone to damage.

[0032] This invention proposes a tracked mechanism, a tracked inspection vehicle, and a control method thereof, which aims to adjust the angle between the track and the vertical plane to ensure complete contact between the track and the tunnel surface and reduce the failure rate.

[0033] Please see Figures 2 to 5In an embodiment of the present application, the track mechanism 10 is used in a track detection vehicle 100, the track mechanism 10 comprises a frame 1, two track components 2 and an angle adjusting component 3, the two track components 2 are respectively rotatably connected to opposite sides of the frame 1; the angle adjusting component 3 is arranged on the frame 1 and drivingly connected to the two track components 2 to adjust the included angle between the plane where each track component 2 is located and the vertical plane.

[0034] In the embodiment, the frame 1 serves as the base of the track mechanism 10 and can be used to mount other mechanisms such as the detection mechanism 20 and the control mechanism 30, etc. The frame 1 is made of metal material such as stainless steel, galvanized square tube, etc. with higher strength and better durability, and can bear heavier detection equipment. The track component 2 comprises a rubber track, a driving wheel, a supporting wheel, a guide wheel, a motor, a speed reducer, etc. The rubber track is driven to rotate by the driving wheel, the supporting wheel and the guide wheel driven by the motor and the speed reducer, realizing the advancing of the track mechanism 10. The two track components 2 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the frame 1, making the advancing of the track mechanism 10 more stable. Each track component 2 is rotatably connected to the frame 1 in the vertical direction. The specific way of the rotatable connection can be the rotatable connection of shaft hole matching or through the hinge connection, which is not limited here. The angle adjusting mechanism is arranged on the frame 1 and drivingly connected to the two track components 2 to adjust the included angle between the plane where the track component 2 is located and the vertical plane, and further adjust the included angle between the track surface of the track component 2 and the horizontal plane, so that the track surfaces of the two track components 2 can better fit the inner wall of the circular tunnel, the advancing of the track mechanism 10 is more stable, the stress is uniform, and damage is less likely to occur. The angle adjusting component 3 can be two pneumatic or electric pull rod structures drivingly connected to the track components 2, which pull the two track components 2 to rotate towards each other to adjust the included angle between the plane where the track component 2 is located and the vertical plane. The angle adjusting component 3 can also be a torque motor arranged at the connection between the frame 1 and the track component 2, which drives the connection between the frame 1 and the track component 2 to adjust the relative angle between the track component 2 and the frame 1, and further adjust the included angle between the track surface of the track component 2 and the horizontal plane, so that the track surfaces of the two track components 2 can better fit the inner wall of the circular tunnel, the advancing of the track mechanism 10 is more stable, the stress is uniform, and damage is less likely to occur. The specific implementation of the angle adjusting component 3 is not limited here as long as it can adjust the relative angle between the two track components 2 and the frame 1.

[0035] The technical scheme of the present application provides a track mechanism 10, which comprises a rack 1, two track components 2 respectively rotatably connected to opposite sides of the rack 1, and an angle adjusting component 3. The angle adjusting component 3 is drivingly connected to the two track components 2, so that the two track components 2 can rotate about the connection with the rack 1. The included angle between the plane where each track component 2 is located and the vertical plane can be adjusted according to the actual parameters of the tunnel to be detected. In tunnels with different curvatures or different diameters to be detected, the track components 2 of the track mechanism 10 can be in full contact with the tunnel surface, so that the overall force acting on the track components 2 is uniform, and the probability of failure is reduced.

[0036] In the embodiment of the present application, the angle adjusting component 3 comprises a driving assembly 31 and two driven assemblies 32. The driving assembly 31 is movably arranged on the rack 1. One end of each driven assembly 32 is rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the driving assembly 31, and the other end of each driven assembly 32 is rotatably connected to the side surface of one track component 2 facing the other track component 2.

[0037] In the embodiment, the angle adjusting component 3 comprises a driving assembly 31 and two driven assemblies 32. The driving assembly 31 is movably arranged on the rack 1. It can be understood that the main body of the driving assembly 31 is connected to the rack 1, and the driving end of the driving assembly 31 can move relative to the rack 1. One end of each driven assembly 32 is rotatably connected to the driving end of the driving assembly 31, and the other end of each driven assembly 32 is rotatably connected to the side surface of one track component 2 facing the other track component 2. When the driving end of the driving assembly 31 drives one end of each driven assembly 32 to move relative to the rack 1, one end of each driven assembly 32 is out of position from the other end of each driven assembly 32, and is not on the same horizontal line. Since the length of each driven assembly 32 is fixed, in order to compensate for the length of each driven assembly 32, the other end of each driven assembly 32 pulls the track component 2 to an inclined angle towards the middle, thereby adjusting the included angle between the plane where the track component 2 is located and the vertical plane.

[0038] The longer the moving distance of the driving part of the driving assembly 31, the farther the distance between one end and the other end of each driven assembly 32, and the larger the angle by which each track component 2 needs to be rotated, i.e. the larger the included angle between the plane where each track component 2 is located and the vertical plane. Using one driving assembly 31 and two driven assemblies 32 to adjust the angle of each track component 2 has the advantages that one driving assembly 31 can drive the angle adjustment of two track components 2 on both sides, reducing the overall size of the track mechanism 10 and saving production costs. By driving two driven assemblies 32 with one driving assembly 31, as long as the structure is symmetrically installed, the rotation angles of the two track components 2 on both sides can be the same, without the need for separate control, saving manpower.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, the driving assembly 31 comprises a driving member 311 and a push rod 312, the driving member 311 is arranged on the frame 1, and the driving part of the driving member 311 is drivingly connected to the push rod 312, so that the push rod 312 is movable relative to the frame 1, and one end of each of the two driven assemblies 32 is rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the push rod 312.

[0040] In the embodiment, the driving assembly 31 comprises a driving member 311 and a push rod 312, the driving member 311 is arranged on the frame 1, and in a preferred embodiment, a mounting seat for mounting the driving member 311 is arranged on the frame 1 to fix the driving member 311. The driving member 311 can be a linear motor or a linear cylinder, etc., which drives the push rod 312 to reciprocate relative to the frame 1. One end of each of the two driven assemblies 32 is rotatably connected to the opposite sides of the push rod 312, the push rod 312 moves forward to drive one end of the driven assembly 32 to move forward, so that the one end of the driven assembly 32 is dislocated from the other end, and further drives the track member 2 to rotate inward to adjust the included angle between the plane where the track member 2 is located and the vertical plane. In a preferred embodiment, the driving member 311 and the push rod 312 are arranged at the position of the central axis of the frame 1, so that the whole track mechanism 10 is symmetrical, and further makes the weight of the whole track mechanism 10 more uniform, and the track mechanism 10 moves more smoothly.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the track mechanism 10 further comprises a guide rail 313 and a sliding block 314, the guide rail 313 is arranged on the frame 1, and the sliding block 314 is slidingly connected to the guide rail 313, and the surface of the sliding block 314 away from the guide rail 313 is connected to the push rod 312 to drive the push rod 312 to move along the extension direction of the guide rail 313.

[0042] In the embodiment, in order to control the moving direction of the push rod 312 and make the sliding of the push rod 312 more smooth, the track mechanism 10 further comprises a guide rail 313 and a sliding block 314, the guide rail 313 is arranged on the frame 1, and correspondingly, the sliding block 314 is connected to the push rod 312, the sliding movement between the sliding block 314 and the guide rail 313 realizes the sliding movement between the push rod 312 and the frame 1, which prevents the moving direction of the push rod 312 from being deviated, and causes the failure of the angle adjusting function of the track mechanism 10. In a preferred embodiment, the number of the guide rails 313 and the sliding blocks 314 is two, the two guide rails 313 are arranged on the two cross beams of the frame 1 in a spaced manner, and correspondingly, the two sliding blocks 314 are also arranged on the push rod 312 in a spaced manner, each sliding block 314 is slidingly matched with each guide rail 313, so that the sliding of the push rod 312 is more stable.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the driven assembly 32 comprises two connecting rods 321, one end of each connecting rod 321 is rotatably connected to one side of the push rod 312, and the other end is rotatably connected to the side surface of one track member 2 facing the other track member 2, and the two connecting rods 321 are arranged in a spaced manner in the moving direction of the push rod 312.

[0044] In the embodiment, each driven assembly 32 comprises two connecting rods 321, one end of the two connecting rods 321 is rotatably connected to one side of the push rod 312, and the other end of the two connecting rods 321 is rotatably connected to the side surface of the track component 2 facing the other track component 2. The push rod 312 first drives the two connecting rods 321 to tilt, thereby forming an angle between the plane where the track component 2 is located and the vertical plane. The arrangement of the two connecting rods 321 makes the connection between the driven assembly 32 and the track component 2 more stable. The two connecting rods 321 are arranged in a spaced manner in the direction in which the push rod 312 moves. The advantage of the spaced arrangement is that it can drive the entire track component 2 to tilt, preventing incomplete tilting in the length direction of the track component 2, thereby preventing the problem that the track bottom surface cannot be in complete contact with the inner wall of the tunnel.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, each connecting rod 321 comprises a main body 3211 and two universal joints 3212, one end of each universal joint 3212 is connected to one end of the main body 3211, the other end of one universal joint 3212 is connected to one side of the push rod 312, and the other end of the other universal joint 3212 is connected to the side surface of one track component 2 facing the other track component 2.

[0046] In the embodiment, the connecting rod 321 comprises a main body 3211 and two universal joints 3212 connected to both ends of the main body 3211, and the other end of each universal joint 3212 is connected to the push rod 312 and the side surface of the track component 2, respectively. This allows the connecting rod 321 to rotate 360 degrees with the push rod 312 and also rotate 360 degrees with the track component 2. When the track component 2 tilts, no stress is applied to the connecting rod 321, preventing the connecting rod 321 from bending or breaking after long-term use, which affects the angle adjustment function of the track mechanism 10. Correspondingly, when the connecting rod 321 tilts downward, the connection between the connecting rod 321 and the push rod 312 can rotate downward, and the connecting rod 321 does not apply stress to the connection, preventing the connection from bending or breaking after long-term use.

[0047] In the embodiment of the present application, the track component 2 further comprises a connecting seat 4, which is arranged on the side surface of one track component 2 facing the other track component 2, and the rack 1 is spaced apart from the angle adjustment component 3 and rotatably connected to the connecting seat 4.

[0048] In the embodiment, the track member 2 is provided with a connecting seat 4 on the side thereof facing the other track member 2, the frame 1 and the angle adjusting member 3 are both rotationally connected to the connecting seat 4, the frame 1 can rotate in the vertical direction relative to the connecting seat 4, the angle adjusting member 3 can rotate in the horizontal direction relative to the connecting seat 4, the frame 1 and the angle adjusting member 3 are connected by one connecting seat 4, which facilitates subsequent maintenance operation, and the surface of the track member 2 does not need to be punched or operated. It can be understood that when the driven assembly 32 includes two connecting rods 321, the connection between the frame 1 and the track member 2 on one side is also two, and the number of connecting seats 4 is also two, which are arranged on the side of the track member 2 in a spaced manner, thereby improving the connection strength.

[0049] In the embodiment of the application, two lugs 41 are arranged in the horizontal direction of the connecting seat 4, each lug 41 is provided with a connecting hole, the frame 1 includes a connecting beam 11 provided with a shaft hole, one end of the connecting beam 11 is arranged between the two lugs 41, and a rotating shaft sequentially passes through a connecting hole, a shaft hole and another connecting hole, so as to rotationally connect the connecting beam 11 and the connecting seat 4 in the vertical direction.

[0050] In the embodiment, the shaft hole matching connection mode is adopted to rotationally connect the frame 1 and the track member 2, which not only ensures the convenience of installation and disassembly, but also ensures the close connection between the frame 1 and the track member 2. Specifically, a shaft hole is formed in the connecting beam 11 of the frame 1, two lugs 41 are arranged in a spaced manner on the connecting seat 4, each lug 41 is provided with a connecting hole, the connecting beam 11 is inserted between the two lugs 41, and a rotating shaft sequentially passes through the connecting hole of one lug 41, a shaft hole and the connecting hole of the other lug 41, so as to rotationally connect the lug 41 and the connecting beam 11, and further rotationally connect the frame 1 and the track member 2. The two lugs 41 are arranged in a spaced manner in the horizontal direction, so that the connecting beam 11 can rotate in the vertical direction between the two lugs 41, and further rotationally connect the track member 2 relative to the frame 1 in the vertical direction, so as to adjust the angle of the track member 2.

[0052] In the embodiment, the tracked detection vehicle 100 comprises a tracked mechanism 10, a detection mechanism 20 and a control mechanism 30. The tracked mechanism 10 is the tracked mechanism 10 described in the above embodiment, and can adjust the included angle between the plane where the tracked component 2 is located and the vertical plane. The detection mechanism 20 comprises, but is not limited to, a concealed disease detection device, an apparent disease detection device, a tunnel deformation detection device and the like. The detection mechanism 20 is arranged on the rack 1 of the tracked mechanism 10, and the tracked mechanism 10 drives the detection mechanism 20 as a whole to detect the tunnel. The control mechanism 30 is also arranged on the rack 1 of the tracked mechanism 10, and the control mechanism 30 is electrically connected with the tracked mechanism 10 and the detection mechanism 20. The control component can receive signals, and control the angle adjustment component 3 of the tracked mechanism 10 to adjust the angle of the tracked component 2 and the travel of the tracked component 2, and synchronously control the detection mechanism 20 to detect the diseases of the inner wall of the tunnel.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 6 The application further provides a control method applied to the tracked detection vehicle 100 described above, which comprises the following steps:

[0054] Step S1: obtaining the topographic parameters of the tunnel to be detected;

[0055] Step S2: adjusting the included angle between the plane where the tracked component 2 is located and the vertical plane according to the topographic parameters;

[0056] Step S3: controlling the tracked mechanism 10 to travel, and controlling the detection mechanism 20 to detect the diseases of the tunnel to be detected.

[0057] In the embodiment, the control method is applied to the tracked detection vehicle 100 in the above embodiment, and is used to control the travel of the tracked detection vehicle 100 and detect the diseases of the tunnel. First, the tracked detection vehicle 100 obtains the topographic parameters of the tunnel to be detected, which comprises the inner diameter of the tunnel, the curvature of the tunnel and the like. The obtaining mode can be manual input of parameters, or automatic detection by the components arranged on the tracked detection vehicle 100 to detect the topographic parameters. According to the obtained topographic parameters, the angles at which the two tracked components 2 of the tracked detection vehicle 100 can be attached to the inner wall of the tunnel are calculated. Then, the angle adjustment component 3 is controlled to adjust the angle of the tracked component 2 according to the calculated angles. Finally, the tracked mechanism 10 is controlled to travel along the extension direction of the tunnel, and the detection mechanism 20 is controlled to detect the diseases of the inner wall of the tunnel. The tracked detection vehicle 100 is provided with a device to automatically detect the topographic parameters, which can detect the topographic parameters of the tunnel in real time. If the topographic parameters change, for example, the inner diameter of the tunnel becomes smaller, the included angle between the tracked component 2 of the tracked mechanism 10 and the vertical plane is increased, so that the two tracked components 2 can better attach to the inner wall of the tunnel, and the overall travel of the tracked detection vehicle 100 is more stable.
