Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of mining robots, and more particularly to a self-propelled coal mine auxiliary operation robot based on roadway anchor network and its control method. Background Technology
[0002] The underground environment of coal mines is highly complex and risky. Its unique geological conditions, spatial constraints, and harsh working conditions, such as high coal dust concentration, high humidity, and significant temperature fluctuations, place stringent demands on the safety, stability, and adaptability of operating equipment. As key equipment for improving the efficiency of underground coal mine operations, reducing manual labor intensity, and ensuring operational safety, the technological development and application of auxiliary operating robots have always been a research focus in the mining industry.
[0003] Currently, spider-type climbing robots developed for coal mine roadway environments still face numerous technical bottlenecks in practical applications, mainly in the following aspects: First, insufficient environmental adaptability: The complex terrain inside roadways, with uneven distribution of anchor bolts, numerous roadway corners, and narrow spaces, causes existing robots to easily experience jamming and deviation during climbing, resulting in low stability and movement efficiency, and even the risk of falling, severely restricting the continuity of operations. Second, poor durability and reliability: Coal dust particles in underground mines are fine and abrasive, and long-term adhesion will accelerate the wear of the robot's moving parts; at the same time, high temperature and high humidity environments can easily lead to circuit aging and sensor malfunction, significantly shortening the equipment's lifespan and increasing the probability of failure. In addition, existing robots lack real-time monitoring and feedback mechanisms for core components, such as stepper motor operating temperature, climbing gripping force, and robotic arm load, making it impossible to identify abnormal states in a timely manner, which may lead to the escalation of equipment failures or even induce safety accidents.
[0004] Therefore, in order to address the above problems, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of roadway anchor mesh climbing auxiliary operation robot with high flexibility, strong environmental adaptability and reliable safety performance, so as to solve the problem of operation in the complex environment of coal mines and ensure production safety and efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a self-propelled coal mine auxiliary operation robot and its control method based on roadway anchor nets. This robot can significantly improve the robot's adaptability, operational safety, and work efficiency in complex mine roadway environments, and can be widely applied to roadway inspection, anchor net maintenance, material transportation, and other scenarios.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problem is: a self-propelled coal mine auxiliary operation robot based on roadway anchor network, including a body mechanism, a walking mechanism and a gripping mechanical arm;
[0007] The body structure includes a chassis, a shell, and a multi-sensor fusion module. The shell covers and is fixed to the top wall of the chassis, and the multi-sensor fusion module is located at the front end of the chassis for environmental perception and motion control.
[0008] The walking mechanism includes two pairs of telescopic climbing structures and a pair of intermediate foot auxiliary structures symmetrically installed at the bottom of the body mechanism. The telescopic climbing structures can extend and retract to grasp the anchor bolts in the tunnel. The intermediate foot auxiliary structures are used to assist in posture adjustment. The telescopic climbing structures and the intermediate foot auxiliary structures work together to enable the robot to move on the anchor bolt network in the tunnel. The gripping robotic arm is installed on the body mechanism and is used to grip and transport items.

A gripping motor is fixed to the bottom of the chassis. The output shaft of the gripping motor is coaxially fixed with a rudder disk II. The gripping robotic arm is mounted on the rudder disk II.
[0010] The swing motor is fixed to the bottom of the chassis. The two swing motors correspond one-to-one with the intermediate foot auxiliary structure. One end of the output shaft of each swing motor is fixed with a blade, and one end of the intermediate foot auxiliary structure is mounted on the blade.
[0011] Furthermore, the telescopic climbing structure includes a telescopic rod assembly, an electric chuck I, a front motor, and a rear motor; the rear motor is mounted on the rudder disk I, the axis of the output shaft between the rear motor and the rotary motor is perpendicular, the output shaft of the rear motor is connected to one end of the telescopic rod assembly, the end of the telescopic rod assembly away from the rear motor is connected to the housing of the front motor, and the output shaft of the front motor is connected to the electric chuck I;
[0012] The telescopic rod assembly includes an outer rod body, an inner rod body, a telescopic drive motor, a drive gear, and several driven gears. A groove is formed on one side wall of the outer rod body for the inner rod body to pass through. The inner rod body slides through the groove into the outer rod body. The telescopic drive motor is bolted to the inner rod body, and its output shaft is coaxially fixed with the drive gear. Several driven gears are rotatably mounted on the inner rod body. The drive gear and driven gears are the same size. Both the drive gear and driven gears are located within the groove of the outer rod body, and the inner wall of the groove of the outer rod body forms a rack portion that meshes with the drive gear and driven gears. The telescopic drive motor drives the drive gear to rotate, and the drive gear meshes with the rack portion of the outer rod body, thereby driving the outer rod body to slide relative to the inner rod body, achieving the telescopic function.
[0013] Furthermore, the intermediate foot auxiliary structure includes a swing arm, an electric chuck II, and an angle motor. One end of the swing arm is fixedly mounted on the blade, and the angle motor is fixedly mounted on the end of the swing arm away from the blade by bolts. The output end of the angle motor is connected and fixed to the outer wall of the electric chuck II.
[0014] Furthermore, the gripping robotic arm includes a robotic arm assembly and a robotic claw. One end of the robotic arm assembly is connected to the rudder disk II, and the other end is connected to the robotic claw. The robotic claw includes a claw disk, a clamping drive motor, and two clamping rod assemblies. The two clamping rod assemblies are symmetrically mounted on the claw disk.

The gear portion is rotatably connected to the claw disk. The gear portions of the two clamping rod assemblies mesh with each other.

The clamping drive motor is fixed to the claw disk by bolts, and its output shaft is coaxially connected to one of the gear portions.
[0015] This invention also provides a control method for a self-propelled coal mine auxiliary operation robot. The method includes the following steps: Initially, the auxiliary operation robot is stationary on the roadway anchor network. The four electric chucks I of the telescopic climbing structure and the two electric chucks II of the intermediate foot auxiliary structure are all attached to the anchors. A multi-sensor fusion module at the front end of the auxiliary operation robot's body analyzes the environment. The auxiliary operation robot receives signal commands from the multi-sensor fusion module via a control board on its chassis, controlling the walking mechanism to move and cooperating with the gripping robotic arm to transport items.
[0016] Furthermore, when the walking mechanism receives a forward or backward translation command, the control method for the auxiliary robot is as follows:
[0017] Step-a1: First, release the electric chuck I of the telescopic climbing structure that is in the gripping state in the direction of travel. Then, through the telescopic drive motor, drive the telescopic rod assembly to extend and, under the coordinated angle control of the front and rear motors, grip the next anchor rod in the direction of travel.
[0018] Step-a2: The electric chuck I of the telescopic climbing structure, which is in a gripping state at the rear end of the travel direction, is released. The telescopic drive motor drives the telescopic rod assembly to shorten, and under the coordinated angle control of the front and rear motors, it grips the next anchor rod in the travel direction.
[0019] Step-a3: The electric chuck II of the two intermediate foot auxiliary structures releases the anchor rods, and the telescopic rod groups of each telescopic climbing structure in the front and rear directions are adjusted to their initial lengths, thereby causing the drive mechanism to move forward;
[0020] Step-a4: The electric chuck II of the two intermediate foot auxiliary structures clamps the anchor bolt;
[0021] Step-a5: Repeat steps Step-a1 to Step-a4 above to achieve the parallel movement function of the auxiliary robot.
[0022] Furthermore, when the walking mechanism receives a command to encounter a right-angled wall in the tunnel, the control method for the auxiliary robot is as follows:
[0023] Step-b1: The electric chuck I of the telescopic climbing structure near the corner of the tunnel is released. The telescopic drive motor drives the telescopic rod assembly to extend and, with the coordinated angle control of the front and rear motors, grabs the anchor rod on the side wall of the tunnel to be reached.
[0024] Step-b2: The electric chuck II of the two intermediate foot auxiliary structures releases its grip on the anchor bolt.
[0025] Step-b3: Adjust the length of the telescopic rods of the two pairs of telescopic climbing structures so that the chassis of the body mechanism is parallel to the side wall of the tunnel to be reached;
[0026] Step-b4: The electric chuck II of the two intermediate foot auxiliary structures clamps the anchor bolt on the side wall of the roadway to be reached under the coordinated control of the angle motor and the swing motor.
[0027] Step-b5: The electric chuck I of the telescopic climbing structure away from the corner of the alley is released. The telescopic drive motor drives the telescopic rod assembly to shorten. Under the coordinated angle control of the front and rear motors, it grabs the anchor rod on the side wall of the alley to be reached, thereby realizing the function of assisting the robot to climb the right-angle wall.
[0028] Furthermore, when the walking mechanism receives a turning or U-turn command, the control method for the auxiliary robot is as follows:
[0029] Step-c1: The electric chuck II of the two intermediate foot auxiliary structures releases its grip on the anchor bolt;
[0030] Step-c2: The electric chucks I of each telescopic climbing structure release their grip on the anchor rods in sequence. After the rotary motor drives the telescopic climbing structure to deflect to the required angle, it grips the anchor rods under the coordinated control of the telescopic drive motor, the front motor, and the rear motor, thereby completing the turning or U-turn operation.
[0031] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0032] 1. Compared with traditional climbing-type auxiliary operation robots, the solution of this invention is specifically designed for anchor bolt mesh roadways and can adapt to the harsh environment of high coal dust, high humidity and large temperature fluctuations in underground coal mines; its two pairs of gear and rack telescopic arms can move across the anchor bolt mesh, breaking the limitation of the range of motion, and can be widely used in roadway inspection, anchor bolt mesh maintenance, material transportation and other scenarios to ensure the continuity of operation in complex environments.
[0033] 2. The front end of the body structure of this invention integrates a multi-sensor fusion module. Through multi-sensor information fusion technology, it provides the robot with accurate positioning information and tunnel environment data, realizes multi-sensor fusion positioning, improves the perception and judgment ability of complex tunnel environment, and reduces problems such as jamming and deviation.
[0034] 3. This invention is equipped with a movable gripping robotic arm connected to the chassis. Compared with traditional robots, it adds obstacle picking and clearing and material transfer functions, enhances the practicality of the equipment, can directly participate in underground auxiliary operations, reduce manual labor intensity, and improve overall operation efficiency.
[0035] 4. This invention optimizes the design of the rack and pinion telescopic arm, and achieves flexible switching of multiple angles through dual stepper motor drive of the front motor and the rear motor; combined with the coordinated cooperation of the middle foot auxiliary structure, the robot has the functions of climbing right-angle walls and turning and turning around, solving the problem of traditional robots moving in alley corners and narrow spaces.
