Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of inspection robots, and in particular to an intelligent power distribution safety inspection robot. Background Art
[0002] Intelligent power distribution safety inspection robot technology has been developed based on the problems of traditional manual inspection such as high labor intensity, low efficiency, and many safety hazards. With the continuous expansion of the scale of the power system, the operation and maintenance requirements of the distribution room are increasing. Intelligent inspection robots have come into being. This technology is equipped with a variety of advanced sensors and intelligent analysis software to achieve all-weather and all-round inspections. It can collect and analyze the key parameters of the distribution equipment in real time, discover potential faults and hidden dangers in time, improve the accuracy and comprehensiveness of inspections, and provide strong guarantees for the safe operation of the distribution system.
[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent number CN221539814U, which discloses an intelligent inspection machine for substations. The machine comprises a vehicle body, equipped with a wireless network receiver for receiving and sending wireless network signals, a data transmission device, an audible and visual alarm, a power supply, a power indicator light for displaying the power level of the power supply, and a drive device. A base is mounted on the upper end surface of the vehicle body, equipped with a rotating motor. A pan-tilt head is also rotatably mounted on the base. The output shaft of the rotating motor extends vertically and is connected to the pan-tilt head. The pan-tilt head is also equipped with imaging cameras, including thermal imaging cameras and visible light cameras. When in use, the machine allows inspections of equipment within the substation without requiring personnel to enter the substation, ensuring worker safety. Compared with the existing technology, this Chinese patent number CN221539814U solves the problem that when equipment has defects or abnormal conditions, they cannot be discovered and handled in time during the inspection process, which can easily cause production safety accidents and affect the safe and stable operation of the power grid. Therefore, intelligent inspection robots are usually used to replace manual inspections, reduce manual inspections, and lower safety risk rates.
[0004] However, in actual use of the above device, for indoor inspection robots, dust easily accumulates on the surface of the camera housing during the inspection process, and the camera is also exposed to the outside when the robot is not inspecting. This causes the camera surface to be easily blocked by dirt, requiring frequent cleaning and high maintenance costs. Therefore, an intelligent power distribution safety inspection robot is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings of the existing technology that for indoor inspection robots, dust is easily accumulated on the surface of the camera housing during the inspection process, and the camera is also exposed to the outside when the robot is not inspecting. This causes the camera surface to be easily blocked by dirt, requires frequent cleaning, and has high maintenance costs. An intelligent power distribution safety inspection robot is proposed.

[0008] Four third motors are provided at the bottom of the cleaning cover, and a cleaning roller is provided at the output end of the third motor. A hollow conveying pipe is rotatably connected inside the cleaning roller, and the upper part of the hollow conveying pipe is fixedly connected to the liquid adding pipe. After the cleaning cover is covered on the upper part of the detection camera, the water pump in the liquid adding pipe is started, and the water in the water tank flows into the hollow conveying pipe through the liquid adding pipe and seeps into the cleaning roller through the hollow conveying pipe. Then the third motor is started, and the cleaning roller is driven to rotate by the third motor. Subsequently, the second motor is started, and the fourth gear is driven to rotate by the second motor. The rotation of the fourth gear drives the fifth gear and the cleaning cover to rotate. The rotation of the cleaning cover drives the four cleaning rollers to rotate around the detection camera to clean the surface of the detection camera. A number of small holes are provided on the surface of the cleaning roller, and the water entering the hollow conveying pipe can seep into the cleaning roller through the small holes.
[0009] The above technical solution further includes:
[0010] The upper portion of the storage bin is fixedly connected to a linkage transmission mechanism, which drives the top cover to rotate and open while driving the mounting platform to move upward.
[0011] The linkage transmission mechanism includes a control housing fixedly connected to the upper part of the storage bin, a first motor is arranged inside the control housing, and a control component is arranged at the output end of the first motor.
[0012] The control component includes a second gear provided at the output end of the first motor, the second gear is meshedly connected to the third gear, the third gear is rotationally connected to the top cover, one side of the third gear is fixedly connected to the first gear, and the first gear is fixedly connected to the top cover.
[0013] There are two first gears, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top cover.
[0014] One side of the first gear is meshedly connected with a transmission rack, the transmission rack is slidably connected to the storage bin, and the bottom of the transmission rack is fixedly connected to a mounting platform.
[0015] Four buffer mechanisms are provided at the bottom of the storage bin. The buffer mechanisms include a connecting rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage bin, a sliding connection between the connecting rod and a limiting slide groove, and the limiting slide groove is fixedly connected to the upper part of the buffer shell.
[0016] Telescopic rods are rotatably connected to both sides of the connecting rod, a buffer shell is rotatably connected to the lower part of the telescopic rod, a buffer spring is arranged around the outside of the telescopic rod, and a bottom plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the buffer shell.
[0017] The bottom of the base plate is rotatably connected to four linkage rods, the lower parts of the linkage rods are rotatably connected to wheels, and the upper parts of the wheels are provided with shock-absorbing springs.
[0018] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. In the present invention, when the detection camera is not in use, the linkage transmission mechanism can be started. The linkage transmission mechanism drives the mounting platform to descend and the top cover to rotate and close at the same time. The detection camera moves downward and is stored in the storage bin to effectively prevent dust from falling. The closing of the top cover can also drive the cleaning cover to be buckled onto the surface of the detection camera. Then the water pump inside the liquid filling pipe is started, and the water inside the water tank is sent into the hollow conveying pipe through the water pump. The water entering the hollow conveying pipe can seep into the cleaning roller through the small holes. Compared with direct water spraying, wetting the cleaning roller from the inside with water seepage can effectively save resources and avoid water droplets splashing. In addition, by starting the second motor and the third motor, the cleaning cover and the cleaning roller can be driven to rotate, thereby effectively cleaning the dust on the surface of the detection camera.
[0020] 2. In the present invention, the wheels at the bottom rotate when the device moves. If the ground is uneven, the wheels will move up and down during movement. During the up and down movement of the wheels, the shock-absorbing springs can reduce the shock of the wheels, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the detection camera above. When the wheels brake, the four buffer mechanisms arranged at the bottom of the storage bin can also reduce the inertia generated by the storage bin during the braking process, thereby improving the stability of the detection camera during movement and ensuring the detection quality of the device.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] Four third motors 29 are provided at the bottom of the cleaning cover 4, and a cleaning roller 5 is provided at the output end of the third motor 29. The cleaning roller 5 is connected to a hollow conveying pipe 30 for rotation inside the cleaning roller 5. The upper part of the hollow conveying pipe 30 is fixedly connected to the liquid adding pipe 24. After the cleaning cover 4 covers the upper part of the detection camera 6, the water pump in the liquid adding pipe 24 is started, and the water in the water tank 23 flows into the hollow conveying pipe 30 through the liquid adding pipe 24, and seeps into the cleaning roller 5 through the hollow conveying pipe 30. Then the third motor 29 is started, and the cleaning roller 5 is driven to rotate by the third motor 29. Subsequently, the second motor 26 is started, and the fourth gear 27 is driven to rotate by the second motor 26. The rotation of the fourth gear 27 drives the fifth gear 28 and the cleaning cover 4 to rotate. The rotation of the cleaning cover 4 drives the four cleaning rollers 5 to rotate around the detection camera 6 to clean the surface of the detection camera 6. A number of small holes are provided on the surface of the cleaning roller 5, and the water entering the hollow conveying pipe 30 can seep into the cleaning roller 5 through the small holes.
[0034] A linkage transmission mechanism is fixedly connected to the upper part of the storage bin 1, which drives the top cover 2 to rotate and open while driving the mounting platform 18 to move upward. The linkage transmission mechanism includes a control shell 3 fixedly connected to the upper part of the storage bin 1, and a first motor 20 is provided inside the control shell 3. A control component is provided at the output end of the first motor 20. The control component includes a second gear 21 provided at the output end of the first motor 20.

[0035] In this embodiment, the device performs detection through the detection camera 6 during the inspection process. When the detection camera 6 is in use, dust easily adheres to the surface of the detection camera 6. When the detection camera 6 is not in use, the first motor 20 can be started, and the second gear 21 is driven to rotate by the first motor 20. The rotation of the second gear 21 can drive the third gear 22 to rotate. The rotation of the third gear 22 can drive the fixedly connected first gear 16 to rotate, and the rotation of the first gear 16 can drive the meshing transmission rack 17 to move. The transmission rack 17 moves downward to drive the detection camera 6 and the warning light 19 to enter the storage bin 1, protect the detection camera 6 and effectively prevent dust from adhering to the surface of the detection camera 6. While the first gear 16 rotates, it can also drive the top cover 2 to move, thereby driving the top cover 2 to close the storage bin 1. When the detection camera 6 moves downward to the bottom of the storage bin 1, the top cover 2 is just closed, and at this time the cleaning cover 4 also just covers the surface of the detection camera 6.
[0036] After the cleaning cover 4 is buckled onto the surface of the detection camera 6, the water pump inside the liquid filling pipe 24 is started, and the water inside the water tank 23 is sent into the hollow delivery pipe 30 through the water pump. The water entering the hollow delivery pipe 30 can penetrate into the cleaning roller 5 through the small holes. Compared with direct water spraying, wetting the cleaning roller 5 from the inside with water seepage can effectively save resources and avoid water droplets splashing and affecting the equipment. After the cleaning roller 5 is wetted, the third motor 29 is started, and the third motor 29 can drive the cleaning roller 5 to rotate to clean the detection camera 6. While the cleaning roller 5 rotates, the second motor 26 is started, and the fourth gear 27 is driven to rotate by the second motor 26. The rotation of the fourth gear 27 drives the meshing fifth gear 28 to rotate, and the rotation of the fifth gear 28 can drive the cleaning cover 4 to rotate. When the cleaning cover 4 rotates, it can drive the four cleaning rollers 5 inside to rotate around the surface of the detection camera 6, thereby effectively cleaning the dust on the surface of the detection camera 6 and improving the clarity of the detection camera 6 during detection.
[0037] Example 2
[0038] like Figures 1-8 As shown, four buffer mechanisms are provided at the bottom of the storage bin 1, and the buffer mechanism includes a connecting rod 12 fixedly connected to the bottom of the storage bin 1, the connecting rod 12 is slidably connected to the limiting slide 13, the limiting slide 13 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the buffer shell 7, and the two sides of the connecting rod 12 are rotatably connected to the telescopic rod 14, the lower part of the telescopic rod 14 is rotatably connected to the buffer shell 7, a buffer spring 15 is arranged around the outside of the telescopic rod 14, and the bottom of the buffer shell 7 is fixedly connected to the base plate 8.
[0039] The bottom of the base plate 8 is rotatably connected to four linkage rods 10 , the lower part of the linkage rods 10 is rotatably connected to the wheels 9 , and the upper part of the wheels 9 is provided with shock-absorbing springs 11 .
[0040] In this embodiment, the wheels 9 at the bottom rotate when the device moves. If the ground is uneven, the wheels 9 will move up and down during the movement. During the up and down movement of the wheels 9, the shock-absorbing springs 11 can dampen the wheels 9, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the detection camera 6 above. When the wheels 9 brake, the inertia generated by the storage bin 1 can drive the connecting rod 12 to move, and the movement of the connecting rod 12 can drive the telescopic rod 14 to extend and retract. When the telescopic rod 14 extends and retracts, it drives the buffer spring 15 to elastically deform, thereby reducing the inertia generated by the storage bin 1 during the braking process, thereby improving the stability of the detection camera 6 during the movement and ensuring the detection quality of the device.
