Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of open-pit mine scanner equipment, and in particular to a three-dimensional scanner device applied to an open-pit mine environment. Background Art

[0002] The application of 3D scanners in open-pit mines is mainly reflected in efficient topographic surveying, resource assessment, construction monitoring and environmental protection. By quickly acquiring 3D data of the mining area, engineers can create accurate digital terrain models, assess the volume and quality of the deposits, monitor mining progress and slope stability in real time, and assess the impact of mining activities on the environment, thereby achieving safer and more sustainable mining development.

[0003] When using existing 3D scanners in open-pit mines, due to the serious surface environment collection, there is often a lot of dust in the air. If the lens cannot be cleaned in time, it is easy to cause lens contamination and affect the accuracy of data collection. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the present invention is made in view of the above problems. The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the existing 3D scanners are used in open-pit mine environments. Due to the serious surface environment collection, there is often a lot of dust in the air. If the lens is not cleaned in time, it is easy to cause lens contamination and affect the accuracy of data collection. The present invention achieves the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical solutions:

[0005] The cam is connected to the support frame of the fan and the support frame of the fan is connected with the support frame of the fan, and the support frame is connected with the support frame of the fan.

[0006] Preferably, there are three supporting legs, which are rotatably arranged in a ring shape on the lower wall of the positioning plate.

[0007] Preferably, the protective shell is composed of a hollow rectangular block and a hollow cylindrical block connected to each other, and the hollow cylindrical block is arranged on the upper wall surface of the positioning plate.

[0008] Preferably, the air cylinder is provided with an air block and a base, the base is connected to the protective shell, and a spring is provided between the air block and the base.

[0009] Preferably, the adjusting device includes: a circular ring block, a counterweight block, a round rod, a scraper, and a guide rod. The circular ring block is rotatably set on the side end of the positioning plate through a rotating bearing, the counterweight block is set on the upper wall of the circular ring block, there are two round rods relatively arranged between the guide rod and the circular ring block, the scraper is set on one side of the circular rod, and the guide rod is set on the central rotating rod through a one-way rotating bearing.

[0010] Preferably, the counterweight block is arranged opposite to the scraper, one side of the scraper is made of a flexible sponge material, and an air guide plate is provided on the guide rod.

[0011] Preferably, the driving block is an isosceles horizontal triangle structure and has magnetism that repels the round rod.

[0012] Preferably, two threads in opposite directions are provided on the upper portion of the central rotating rod, the driving plate is engaged with the threads of the central rotating rod, and the tooth angle of the driving gear is greater than the tooth angle of the driven gear driven by the rotation.

[0013] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0014] 1. The guide rod of the present invention rotates with the wind direction, driving the round rod to rotate. The rotation of the round rod drives the scraper to pass over the lens of the data acquisition module to clean it. The lens can be cleaned intermittently to ensure that the lens is free of pollutants, avoiding the problem that the existing 3D scanner is used in an open-pit mine environment. Due to the serious surface environment collection, there is often a lot of dust in the air. If the lens is not cleaned in time, it is easy to cause lens contamination and affect the accuracy of data collection;

[0015] 2. The rotation of the rod in the present invention also drives the rotation of the counterweight. The counterweight rotates in the opposite direction of the wind. This allows the counterweight to rotate to the opposite side of the wind when the wind blows the 3D scanner. This increases the gravity on the opposite side of the wind, thereby balancing the impact of the wind and reducing the risk of the entire device being blown over by strong winds.

[0016] 3. The guide rod of the present invention rotates in accordance with the wind direction, driving the central rotating rod to rotate in a specified direction. The central rotating rod drives the driving plate to move up and down through the thread thereon, driving the moving and squeezing air cylinder to guide the outside air into the protective shell. At the same time, the rotation of the central rotating rod drives the driving gear to rotate, and the rotation of the driving gear drives the driven gear to rotate, thereby driving the fan to rotate through the belt structure. After the fan rotates, the airflow direction is downward, which can guide the air from the air cylinder into the protective shell for discharge, forming an air duct in the protective shell to effectively cool the data acquisition module, thereby ensuring the long-term operation of the data acquisition module.

[0017] 4. The tooth angle of the driving gear of the present invention is greater than the tooth angle of the driven gear driven by the rotation. This allows the central rotating rod to rotate a small angle under the drive of the wind to drive the driven gear and the fan to rotate a large number of circles, thereby ensuring the fan's diversion effect;

[0018] 5. The driving block of the present invention is an isosceles horizontal triangular structure with magnetism that repels the round rod and is arranged on the wall of the positioning plate on the side opposite to the lens of the data acquisition module. In a specific implementation, when the round rod moves near the driving block, it will be subjected to the thrust of the driving block, so that in a windless state or when the wind force is small, the scraper will not stay at the lens of the data acquisition module and affect the collection work.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that they can be easily implemented by a person skilled in the art. However, the present invention may be implemented in various forms and is not limited to the embodiments described below. In addition, components not relevant to the present invention may be omitted from the drawings to more clearly illustrate the present invention.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a three-dimensional scanner device applied to an open-pit mine environment includes: a positioning plate 100, a supporting foot 200, a protective shell 300, a data acquisition module 400, an air blower 500, a driving device 600, an adjusting device 700, and a driving block 800;

[0027] The supporting legs 200 are three in number and are rotatably arranged on the lower wall of the positioning plate 100;

[0028] The main body of the protective housing 300 is composed of a hollow rectangular block and a hollow cylindrical block connected to each other, and the hollow cylindrical block is arranged on the upper wall of the positioning plate 100. In a specific implementation, the protective housing 300 is mainly used to protect the data acquisition module 400 and the drive device 600, and to form an air duct to facilitate heat dissipation of the data acquisition module 400.

[0029] The data acquisition module 400 is arranged on the inner wall surface of the protective shell 300;

[0030] The air cylinder 500 is provided with an air block and a base, which is connected to the protective shell 300. A spring is provided between the air block and the base. In a specific implementation, the driving device 600 collides and squeezes the air block to guide the outside air into the protective shell 300. After that, the driving device 600 is separated from the air block, and the air block automatically returns to its original position on the base under the action of the spring.

[0031] The driving device 600 is rotatably arranged on the upper wall of the positioning plate 100;

[0032] The adjusting device 700 is rotatably arranged on the side wall of the positioning plate 100;

[0033] The driving block 800 is fixedly mounted on the upper wall of the positioning plate 100 via a connecting rod and is arranged opposite to the lens of the data acquisition module 400. The driving block 800 is an isosceles horizontal triangle structure and has a magnetic force that repels the round rod 730. In a specific embodiment, when the round rod 730 moves near the driving block 800, it is subjected to the thrust of the driving block 800.

[0034] like Figure 2-5 As shown, the driving device 600 includes: a central rotating rod 610, a driving plate 620, a fixed rod 630, a driving gear 640, a driven gear 650, a support rod 660, a belt structure 670, and a fan 680;

[0035] The central rotating rod 610 is rotatably arranged at the center of the positioning plate 100 via a rotating bearing; the upper portion of the central rotating rod 610 is provided with two threads in opposite directions, so that the driving plate 620 engaged with the threads can move up and down reciprocatingly during the unidirectional rotation of the central rotating rod 610;

[0036] The driving plate 620 is engaged with the thread of the central rotating rod 610; when the driving plate 620 moves downward, it squeezes the air cylinder 500 to guide the external air into the protective shell 300;

[0037] The fixing rod 630 is fixedly arranged on the upper wall of the positioning plate 100; the upper part of the fixing rod 630 passes through the driving plate 620 to limit it, so that the driving plate 620 can only move up and down;

[0038] The driving gear 640 is fixedly mounted on the lower portion of the central rotating rod 610; the tooth angle of the driving gear 640 is greater than the tooth angle of the driven gear 650 driven by the central rotating rod 610. This allows the central rotating rod 610 to rotate a small angle under the drive of the wind to drive the driven gear 650 and the fan 680 to rotate a large number of revolutions, thereby ensuring the air diversion effect of the fan 680.

[0039] The driven gear 650 is disposed on the top of the support rod 660 and meshes with the driving gear 640;

[0040] The support rod 660 is rotatably arranged on the upper wall of the positioning plate 100 through a rotating bearing;

[0041] The belt structure 670 is frictionally connected to the support rod 660 and the rotating rod of the fan 680 respectively;

[0042] The fan 680 is rotatably arranged on the inner wall of the protective housing 300 via a connecting rod;

[0043] like Figure 2-5As shown, the adjustment device 700 includes: a circular ring block 710, a counterweight block 720, a round rod 730, a scraper 740, and a guide rod 750;

[0044] The annular block 710 is rotatably arranged on the side end of the positioning plate 100 via a rotating bearing;

[0045] The counterweight block 720 is arranged on the upper wall of the annular block 710; the counterweight block 720 is arranged opposite to the scraper 740;

[0046] There are two round rods 730 disposed opposite to each other between the guide rod 750 and the circular ring block 710;

[0047] One side of the scraper 740 is made of a flexible sponge material, and the scraper 740 is arranged on the side of the round rod 730 close to the lens of the collection module 400;

[0048] The guide rod 750 is mounted on the central rotating rod 610 via a one-way rotating bearing. A wind deflector is provided on the guide rod 750 so that it can rotate in accordance with the wind direction. Furthermore, under the action of the one-way rotating bearing, the central rotating rod 610 rotates in only one direction regardless of the direction in which the guide rod 750 rotates.

[0049] The central rotating rod 610 rotates in one direction so that the driving gear 640 also rotates in one direction to drive the fan 680 to rotate. The rotation of the fan 680 causes the air inside the protective housing 300 to be discharged downward.

[0050] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0051] During specific implementation, the operator places the 3D scanner device at a designated location. Under the influence of the external wind, the guide rod 750 rotates with the wind direction. The rotation of the guide rod 750 drives the round rod 730 to rotate. The rotation of the round rod 730 drives the scraper 740 to pass over the lens of the data acquisition module 400 to clean it.

[0052] Under the action of wind, the lens can be intermittently cleaned to ensure that the lens is free of contaminants. This avoids the problem of existing 3D scanners being contaminated in open-pit mines due to the heavy surface environment collection and the presence of a lot of dust in the air. If the lens is not cleaned in time, it is easy to affect the accuracy of data collection due to lens contamination.

[0053] The rotation of the rod 730 also drives the counterweight 720 to rotate. The counterweight 720 rotates in the opposite direction of the wind. This allows the counterweight 720 to rotate to the opposite side of the wind when the wind blows the 3D scanner. This increases the gravity on the opposite side of the wind, thereby balancing the impact of the wind and reducing the risk of the entire device being blown over by strong winds.

[0054] The guide rod 750 rotates in accordance with the wind direction, driving the central rotating rod 610 to rotate in a specified direction. The central rotating rod 610 drives the driving plate 620 to move up and down through the threads on it. During the movement of the driving plate 620, the air cylinder 500 is squeezed to guide the outside air into the protective housing 300.

[0055] At the same time, the central rotating rod 610 rotates to drive the driving gear 640, which in turn drives the driven gear 650 to rotate through the belt structure 670, and the fan 680 rotates. After the fan 680 rotates, the airflow direction is downward, which can guide the air from the air cylinder 500 to the protective housing 300 for discharge, forming an air duct in the protective housing 300 to effectively cool the data acquisition module 400, ensuring the long-term operation of the data acquisition module 400.

[0056] The tooth angle of the driving gear 640 is greater than the tooth angle of the driven gear 650 driven by the rotation. This allows the central rotating rod 610 to rotate a small angle under the drive of the wind to drive the driven gear 650 and the fan 680 to rotate a large number of circles, thereby ensuring the diversion effect of the fan 680.

[0057] The driving block 800 is arranged on the side of the upper wall of the positioning plate 100 opposite to the lens of the data acquisition module 400, and the driving block 800 is an isosceles horizontal triangular structure with magnetism that repels the round rod 730. In a specific implementation, when the round rod 730 moves near the driving block 800, it will be subjected to the thrust of the driving block 800. This ensures that in a windless state or when the wind is weak, the scraper 740 will not stay at the lens of the data acquisition module 400 and affect the collection work.
