Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a chassis for a low - center - of - gravity fire - fighting robot and a fire - fighting robot, belonging to the field of robots. Background Art
[0002] In the current fire - fighting field, track structures are usually used for robot equipment. Track structures have strong load - bearing capacity, can be made heavier, and can adapt to strong recoil forces in high - pressure water - spraying environments.
[0003] Fire - fighting water - spraying robots are required to enter the fire scene. For some current environments where water - spraying is not suitable and may cause more serious secondary injuries, it is more suitable to use special fire - fighting extinguishing materials, such as carbon dioxide fire bombs.
[0004] The distance of manual bomb - throwing is far, but the failure rate is high. Using a robot to approach the fire scene is more suitable for accurate bomb - throwing, which requires relatively accurate bomb - throwing, so using a robot is more suitable. Summary of the Invention

The fixed end of the swing frame is hinged to the upper end or the lower end of the fixing frame. The wheel set frame is a rectangular frame, with the power motor installed in the middle, and bearings are provided between the wheel axle and the wheel set frame.
[0009] According to the chassis of the fire-fighting robot for low center of gravity described above, the anti-collision frame is rectangular, with the middle positions of the four sides concave. The front and rear ends are concave and connected to the ends of the longitudinal beam, and the left and right are concave and connected to the ends of the edge cross beam.
[0010] According to the chassis of the fire-fighting robot for low center of gravity described above, the anti-collision frame is composed of two layers of metal plates, with fixed-distance metal pipes arranged between the two metal plates. The width of the anti-collision frame in the front and rear end areas is greater than that in the two side areas.

[0012] The fire-fighting robot equipped with the chassis of the fire-fighting robot for low center of gravity is also equipped with a fire extinguishing bomb throwing mechanism. A fixing plate is provided at the center of the chassis, and a fixed shaft is provided on the fixing plate. The fire extinguishing throwing structure is mounted on the fixed shaft, and the fire extinguishing throwing mechanism can rotate around the fixed shaft. The fixed shaft is at the physical center of gravity.
[0013] The advantages of the present invention are as follows: The use of Mecanum wheels facilitates steering and improves the movement flexibility. The chassis structure has a low chassis design, which controls the center of gravity of the bomb throwing mechanism at a relatively low position. The anti-collision structure provided in this device is suitable for avoiding failures caused by the collision of the whole machine in a complex fire-fighting environment.
