Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of mechanical engineering robots, in particular to the field of field operation robots, and specifically relates to an intelligent charging device for a maintenance robot and a linked folding-wing spray arm thereof. Background Art
[0002] Currently, robots are gradually being used to maintain precast beams in beam yards. However, these robots encounter two problems during operation: the first is the ability to operate continuously, which primarily requires the robot to be able to recharge autonomously. The second problem is that when spraying the bottom of the box beam, an extension arm must be installed. However, the extension arm is relatively long and needs to be retracted when not in operation. Furthermore, there are often various obstacles within 1 meter of the end of the extension arm. This requires the extension arm to be able to open and close, and to be able to swing with obstacles and reset within a certain range at the end. Precisely because of the problems of autonomous charging, extension and retraction of the extension arm, and obstacle avoidance and reset, achieving autonomous beam yard operations through robots remains a technical challenge that needs to be solved urgently. Based on the above problems, an intelligent charging device for a maintenance robot has been designed, with an extension arm that can open and close, swing with obstacles within a given length range at the end, and reset capability.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integrated connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. Unless otherwise clearly defined, ordinary technicians in this field can understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0064] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 17 The present invention will be described in detail.
[0065] Example 1:
[0066] An intelligent charging device for a maintenance robot and its linked folding-wing spraying arm include an arm extension mechanism, which includes a rear arm 1, a long connecting rod 2, and a front arm 4;
[0067] The rear arm 1 is rotatably connected to the base 6, and the base 6 is fixedly connected to the front fixing plate 67 and the rear fixing plate 68;
[0068] The front end of the rear arm 1 is welded with a first joint structure, which is fixedly connected to the end of the forearm 4; the rear end of the long connecting rod 2 is hinged to the base 6, and the front end is rotatably connected to the first joint structure to form an inverted quadrilateral structure;
[0069] The rear end of the rear arm 1 is connected to a hydraulic structure. When the hydraulic structure drives the rear arm 1 to rotate, the long connecting rod 2 drives the front arm 4 to rotate through the first joint structure, thereby realizing the opening and closing of the arm.
[0070] It also includes a charging head mechanism rotatably connected to the base 6;
[0071] The charging head mechanism and the rear arm 1 rotate in coordination through the second joint structure, driving the charging head mechanism to connect with the charging pile mechanism for charging.
[0072] Working principle:
[0073] The maintenance robot moves along a pre-set trajectory, using its external ultrasonic sensor to determine whether a beam is present. If so, the water pump activates, and water flows through the hydraulic structure, pushing the push rod outward, causing the arm mechanism to rotate outward, and the charging head mechanism passively retracts under the action of the gears.
[0074] When the spraying operation stops or charging is required, the water pump stops, the hydraulic structure retracts the push rod under the action of the reversing valve group, the charging head mechanism is passively pushed outward under the action of the gear, and the dual charging heads are docked with the corresponding grooves of the charging pile mechanism under the action of the semi-rigid charging head inclined rod 5. The robot starts the control signal to realize charging.
[0075] Furthermore, in this embodiment, it can be considered that the rear end of the rear arm 1 is a first hollow sleeve 14, and the rear arm rotating shaft core 11 is inserted into the first hollow sleeve 14, and the rear arm rotating shaft core 11 is rotatably connected to the base 6;
[0076] The bottom of the first hollow sleeve 14 is welded with a rear arm shaft tooth 12, and the second joint structure is fixedly connected to the charging head mechanism. The rear arm shaft tooth 12 cooperates with the second joint structure to drive the charging head mechanism to rotate.
[0077] Furthermore, in this embodiment, it can also be considered that the hydraulic structure includes a hydraulic cylinder body 65, the hydraulic cylinder body 65 is pin-hinged with the hydraulic cylinder upper fixing plate 64 and the hydraulic cylinder lower fixing plate 66; the hydraulic cylinder upper fixing plate 64 and the hydraulic cylinder lower fixing plate 66 are fixed to the back of the base 6 by bolts;
[0078] A telescopic rod 69 is provided at the front end of the hydraulic cylinder body 65. The front end of the telescopic rod 69 passes through the base 6 and is pin-connected to the connecting plate 13. The connecting plate 13 is connected to the rear end of the rear arm 1.
[0079] The hydraulic cylinder body 65 is further provided with a shock absorbing spring 651 , and the front end of the telescopic rod 69 is placed inside the shock absorbing spring 651 .
[0080] In this embodiment, Figure 1-7 As shown, the arm extension mechanism and charging head mechanism are simultaneously connected to the base 6, which is fixedly connected to the front fixing plate 67 and the rear fixing plate 68 via bolts. The arm extension mechanism is opened and closed by a hydraulic cylinder body 65, which is hinged to the upper and lower fixing plates 64 and 66 via pins. The upper and lower fixing plates 64 and 66 are fixed to the back of the base 6 via bolts. The telescopic rod 69 is hinged to the connecting plate 13 via a pin. Through this connection, the hydraulic cylinder body pushes the rear arm 1 to open and close the arm.
[0081] The hydraulic cylinder is equipped with a shock-absorbing spring 651 to prevent the hydraulic cylinder from contracting too quickly and reduce the impact of the extension arm on the vehicle body.
[0082] The charging head rotating core 63 hinges the charging head with the charging head fixing plate 62 and the base 6 through the hollow sleeve of the charging head rotating shaft teeth 61 , and the charging head rotating core 63 is welded to the base 6 .
[0083] The rear end of the rear arm 1 is a first hollow sleeve 14 , the bottom of which is welded with a rear arm shaft tooth 12 . The first hollow sleeve 14 passes through the tooth hole of the rear arm shaft tooth 12 and cooperates with the charging head shaft tooth 61 .
[0084] like Figure 14-17 As shown, when the maintenance robot enters the charging state, the arms are closed and the charging head is unfolded; when charging is finished, the arms are opened and the charging head is closed.
[0085] Furthermore, in this embodiment, it can also be considered that the first joint structure includes an upper gear 31, a middle gear 32 and a lower gear 33 that are welded together, and the upper gear 31 and the lower gear 33 each have 6 through holes for accommodating the balls 310;
[0086] The upper gear 31, the middle gear 32 and the lower gear 33 are welded to the end of the forearm 4;
[0087] The upper gear 31, the middle gear 32 and the lower gear 33 are hinged to the upper joint housing 3 and the lower joint housing 39 via a first rotating shaft 35. The upper joint housing 3 and the lower joint housing 39 are hinged to a sector gear 34 via a second rotating shaft 36. The tail of the sector gear 34 is hinged to the front end of the long connecting rod 2. The upper joint housing 3 and the lower joint housing 39 are welded to the front end of the rear arm 1.
[0088] The upper gear 31 , the middle gear 32 , and the lower gear 33 are integrally matched with the sector gear 34 .
[0089] In this embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, the upper joint shell 3 and the lower joint shell 39 are located at the upper and lower outermost sides, and the outer contours of the upper gear 31, the middle gear 32, and the lower gear 33 are consistent and welded together. The upper gear 31 and the lower gear 33 each have 6 through holes for placing the ball 310, thereby reducing the rotational friction with the upper joint shell 3 and the lower joint shell 39.
[0090] The rotating shaft 35 hinges the upper joint housing 3, the lower joint housing 39, the upper gear 31, the middle gear 32, and the lower gear 33, and the bottom is tightened with the rotating shaft 35 using a nut 37.
[0091] The second rotating shaft 36 hinges the upper joint housing 3, the lower joint housing 39 and the sector gear 34, and the bottom is tightly fitted with the second rotating shaft 36 using a second nut 38.
[0092] The upper gear 31 , the middle gear 32 , and the lower gear 33 are integrally matched with the sector gear 34 to achieve rotation.
[0093] like Figure 5-7 As shown, the front end of the long connecting rod 2 is hinged to the base 6 and the rear end of the sector gear 34, forming an inverted quadrilateral mechanism. The upper joint housing 3 and the lower joint housing 39 are welded to the front end of the rear arm 1, and the end of the forearm 4 is welded to the upper gear 31, the middle gear 32, and the lower gear 33. When the hydraulic cylinder body pushes the rear arm 1 to rotate, the long connecting rod 2 rotates the upper gear 31, the middle gear 32, and the lower gear 33 through the sector gear 34, thereby driving the forearm 4 to expand.
[0094] Furthermore, in this embodiment, it can also be considered that the second joint structure includes the charging head shaft teeth 61, the charging head fixing plate 62 and the charging head rotating core 63;
[0095] The charging head shaft teeth 61 are welded to the charging head mechanism, the charging head fixing plate 62 is fixed to the base 6, the charging head rotating core 63 passes through the charging head fixing plate 62 and is embedded in the second hollow sleeve 15, and the second hollow sleeve 15 is embedded in the tooth hole of the charging head shaft teeth 61;
[0096] The rear arm shaft teeth 12 engage and rotate with the charging head shaft teeth 61 to drive the charging head mechanism to rotate.
[0097] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the charging head mechanism may include a charging head inclined rod 5, a rear end of which is welded with an upper closing plate 58, the upper opening and closing 58 being pin-hinged to a lower opening and closing 59, and the lower opening and closing 59 being welded with the charging head rotating shaft teeth 61;
[0098] The upper opening and closing member 58 and the lower opening and closing member 59 are connected to a shock absorbing structure via a screw rod;
[0099] A pair of clamping plates 52 are welded to the front end of the charging head inclined rod 5, and the clamping plates 52 are bolted to the charging fork 53;
[0100] The front end of the charging fork 53 is fixedly clamped with a first protective shell 55. The first protective shell 55 has a built-in copper head 56. A spring 54 is provided between the copper head 56 and the charging fork 53 as a buffer.
[0101] The charging fork 53 is further hinged to a second protective shell 57 , and a torsion spring is provided between the second protective shell 57 and the charging fork 53 ;
[0102] The second protective shell 57 contacts the upper plate 9 of the charging pile and is pushed back to allow the copper head 56 to contact the copper plate 95 for charging;
[0103] The second protective shell 57 contacts the upper plate 9 of the charging pile and is reset under the action of the torsion spring.
[0104] Furthermore, in this embodiment, it can also be considered that the shock-absorbing structure includes a shock-absorbing spring 510, and the shock-absorbing spring 510 is connected to the bottom holes of the upper opening 58 and the lower opening 59 as a whole through a shock-absorbing screw 511 and a nut 51.

[0106] The rear end of the charging head inclined rod 5 is welded to the bottom of the upper opening and closing 58, and the bottom of a pair of clamping plates 52 is welded to the front end of the charging head inclined rod 5 and fixedly connected to the charging fork 53 by three bolts.
[0107] The protective shell 55 is fixedly clamped at the front end of the charging fork 53. The copper head 56 is placed inside the protective shell 55. A spring 54 acts as a buffer between the protective shell 55 and the charging fork 53. The protective shell 57 is hinged to the charging fork 53 via a pin and is equipped with a torsion spring. The protective shell 57 is semi-open, and the open end can completely enclose the protective shell 55. When the protective shell 57 contacts the upper plate 9 of the charging pile, the protective shell 57 is pushed back, allowing the copper head 56 to contact the copper plate 95 for charging. When the protective shell 57 leaves the upper plate 9 of the charging pile, the protective shell 57 returns to its original position under the action of the torsion spring, protecting the copper head 56.
[0108] Furthermore, in this embodiment, it can also be considered that the charging pile mechanism includes a charging pile base 7 fixed on the ground, and the charging pile base 7 is provided with a notch, and the lifting structure is slidably connected in the notch;

[0110] Slots are provided on both the charging pile upper plate 9 and the charging pile lower plate 91 , and copper plates 95 are fixedly engaged in the slots. A rubber strip 96 is fixedly connected to the copper plates 95 .
[0111] In this embodiment, the upper plate 9 and lower plate 91 of the charging pile each have two through-holes through which two long screws 92 pass, which are secured and tightened with nuts 94 at their bases. To adjust the spacing between the upper plate 9 and the lower plate 91, a nut 93 is provided between the upper plate 9 and the lower plate 91 to connect the long screws 92. By turning the nut 93, the spacing can be adjusted by limiting the position and adjusting the height.
[0112] There are three notches on the charging pile base 7, and they are arranged along the width of the charging pile base 7, so that the lifting structure can slide back and forth.
[0113] Furthermore, in this embodiment, it can also be considered that the slot is a double slot, and the copper plates 95 in different slots are respectively connected to the positive and negative poles of the power supply.
[0114] Furthermore, in this embodiment, it can also be considered that the lifting structure includes a lifting mechanism bottom plate 82, and the lifting mechanism bottom plate 82 is provided with an ear plate, which is slidably connected to the notch through the ear plate;
[0115] The upper part of the lifting mechanism bottom plate 82 is hinged to four lower lifting links 83, the upper ends of the four lower lifting links 83 are hinged to upper lifting links 81 respectively, and the upper ends of the four upper lifting links 81 are hinged to the lower plate 91 of the charging pile;
[0116] The hinges between the four lower lifting links 83 and the four upper lifting links 81 are fixedly connected with threaded sleeves, and the lifting rotating rod 8 is screw-connected to the threaded sleeves.

[0118] The lifting rod 8 is engraved with threads and forms a lifting mechanism similar to a "manual jack" with 8 lifting connecting rods 81. Its upper part is hinged to the bottom pin hole of the charging pile lower plate 91, and the distance between the charging pile upper plate 9 and the charging pile lower plate 91 can be adjusted by nut four 93.
[0119] The two copper plates 95 are respectively bonded to the slots of the charging pile upper plate 9 and the charging pile lower plate 91, and the copper plates 95 are flush with the arc surface of the charging pile upper plate 9 or the charging pile lower plate 91 to prevent the charging head from being blocked.
[0120] The rubber strip 96 is nailed to the upper plate 9 of the charging pile, which can protect the copper plate 95 from being tidy, prevent foreign matter from being splashed, and prevent short circuit problems caused by external contact.
[0121] Working process:
[0122] The intelligent charging device is installed on the beam yard maintenance vehicle through the base 6. When the beam yard maintenance vehicle arrives near the charging pile, the vehicle receives the charging signal, closes its own expansion arm, and links to expand the charging head, and continues to drive to the charging pile position.
