Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of inspection robot technology, and in particular to an autonomous obstacle-crossing inspection robot for substations. Background Technology
[0002] Substation inspection robots are devices used in substations that integrate multiple technologies to achieve all-weather, all-round, and fully autonomous intelligent inspection and monitoring. Among substation inspection robots, track-mounted robots move along fixed tracks to inspect fixed areas of the substation, while wheeled, tracked, and quadruped robots can move freely to complete inspections of large areas. Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) inspection robots possess high-altitude inspection capabilities.
[0003] Existing quadruped inspection robots move and overcome obstacles by alternating the movement of their four legs when inspecting substations. However, they do not have the ability to move at high speeds, and quadruped inspection robots cannot move close to the ground, making it difficult to inspect the area below the substation. Wheeled inspection robots, on the other hand, do not have the ability to overcome obstacles.
[0004] Therefore, we have made improvements to this and proposed an autonomous obstacle-crossing inspection robot for substations. Summary of the Invention

[0047] To address this technical problem, the present invention provides an autonomous obstacle-crossing inspection robot for substations. This robot enables high-speed movement and low-altitude inspection of quadrupedal inspection robots, while also possessing obstacle-crossing capabilities, a large inspection range, and wide applicability.
[0048] For details, please refer to Figures 1-12 The aforementioned autonomous obstacle-crossing inspection robot for substations specifically includes:

The position of the universal seat 3 connected to the double rod sleeve shaft 4 is electromagnetically driven to the wheel body positioning part 6. The wheel body positioning part 6 is engaged and locked to the double rod sleeve shaft 4.
[0050] The double-rod sleeve shaft 4 includes a rotating shaft 41 and a wheel body deformation shaft 42. The wheel body deformation shaft 42 is inserted inside the rotating shaft 41.

By adding a universal seat 3 to the bottom of the four legs, and using the double rod sleeve shaft 4 at the bottom of the universal seat 3 to drive the leg deformable parts, the four legs can have a dual-shape transformation function.

[0056] Please refer to Figures 1-12 A substation autonomous obstacle-crossing inspection robot, wherein the inspection body 1 has a control center 11 at both ends inside, the control center 11 is electrically connected to the walking wheels 2 and the universal seat 3, the top surface of the inspection body 1 has equidistantly arranged equipment mounting slots 12, the equipment mounting slots 12 are electrically connected to the control center 11, and the position where the inspection body 1 connects to the walking wheels 2 has a storage slot 13, the walking wheels 2 are embedded in the storage slot 13 when folded and retracted.
[0057] A section of the main arm 21 is provided at the position where the walking wheel 2 is connected to the inspection body 1. The top of the main arm 21 is hinged inside the inspection body 1. The main arm 21 is driven to be connected to the inspection body 1. Two elastic arms 22 are driven to be connected to the bottom of the main arm 21.

The transmission protection box 36 is fitted outside the drive gear 34, and the insulation protection box 37 is fitted outside the contact ring 35.
[0060] A winding control box 411 is connected to the middle of the rotating shaft 41. A driven gear 412 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 41. A current receiving ring 413 is connected to the end of the rotating shaft 41 away from the driven gear 412. The current receiving ring 413 is located at the center of the contact ring 35.

Two sets of symmetrical deformation and shrinkage holes 414 are opened on both sides of the outer wall of the winding control box 411. A symmetrical positioning groove 415 is opened on the side of the outer wall of the winding control box 411 near the wheel positioning part 6.
[0061] The double-rod sleeve shaft 4 is divided into a rotation shaft 41 and a wheel deformation shaft 42. When the four groups of the inspection robot are in use, they can retract the wheel leg deformation parts 5 by rotating the wheel deformation shaft 42 according to the actual movement route, so that the four legs form wheels, realizing the high-speed movement function of the inspection robot. At the same time, in conjunction with the walking wheel legs 2, it can complete the function of low-altitude inspection.
[0062] Example 2
[0063] The autonomous obstacle-crossing inspection robot for substations provided in Embodiment 1 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figures 1-12 A central drive roller 421 is connected to the middle of the wheel deformation shaft 42. The central drive roller 421 rotates at the center of the take-up control box 411. A drive steel wire 422 is wound around the outer wall of the central drive roller 421. A deformation motor 423 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating shaft 41 connected to the driven gear 412. The output end of the deformation motor 423 is driven by the central drive roller 421. The two ends of the central drive roller 421 are limited to rotate inside the two ends of the take-up control box 411.
[0064] The winding control box 411 is internally connected to driven steel wire rollers 424 arranged in a ring at equal intervals. Driven steel wires 425 are wound around the middle of the driven steel wire rollers 424. The end of the driven steel wires 425 away from the driven steel wire rollers 424 slides through the outside of the winding control box 411. High-pressure springs 426 are fitted at the positions where the driven steel wire rollers 424 are connected to the winding control box 411. The two ends of the high-pressure springs 426 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the winding control box 411 and the outer wall of the driven steel wire rollers 424.
[0065] The wheel leg deformable component 5 includes two symmetrical sets of upright leg spring steels 51. The upright leg spring steels 51 are located on the upper and lower sides of the rewind control box 411. A rubber tire 52 is connected to the middle of the outer wall of the upright leg spring steel 51. Two symmetrical sets of fixing strips 54 are vertically fixed on both sides of the bottom surface of the upright leg spring steel 51. The fixing strips 54 slide through the deformation and shrinkage hole 414. One end of the drive steel wire 422 away from the central drive roller 421 passes through the outer wall of the rewind control box 411. The drive steel wire 422 is fixedly connected to the center of the upright leg spring steel 51. Both ends of the two sets of upright leg spring steels 51 are hinged with lateral assembly 53. The lateral assembly 53 is hinged to the upright leg spring steel 51 to form a closure. One end of the driven steel wire 425 located outside the rewind control box 411 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lateral assembly 53.
[0066] Inside the winding control box 411, there is a ring-shaped distribution of driven steel wire rollers 424 with elasticity. Driven steel wires 425 are wound around the outside of the driven steel wire rollers 424 and connected to the side assembly 53. This can provide high-strength tensile force to the side assembly 53 after deformation, enhance the support performance of the side assembly 53, and automatically complete the wire retraction and reset when deformed into four groups.
[0067] Example 3
[0068] The autonomous obstacle-crossing inspection robot for substations provided in Embodiment 1 or 2 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figures 1-12 As shown, the wheel positioning part 6 includes an embedded storage groove 61 formed on one side of the inner wall of the wheel groove 31. A rotating movable groove 62 is formed at the bottom of the inner side of the embedded storage groove 61. An electromagnetic plate 63 is connected to the top and side of the inner wall of the rotating movable groove 62. A positioning slide rod 64 is embedded inside the embedded storage groove 61. A hinge rod 65 is connected to the lower middle part of the positioning slide rod 64. The hinge rod 65 is hinged between the rotating movable groove 62 and the embedded storage groove 61. An electromagnetic block 66 is connected to the bottom end of the positioning slide rod 64. The electromagnetic block 66 is located inside the rotating movable groove 62. The rotating movable groove 62 and the electromagnetic plate 63 are magnetically attracted and connected when energized. The rotating movable groove 62 and the electromagnetic plate 63 repel each other when energized. The magnetic attraction between the rotating movable groove 62 and the electromagnetic plate 63 drives the positioning slide rod 64 to rotate and slide into the positioning groove opening 415.
[0069] A wheel positioning part 6 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the wheel groove 31. When the wheel body is transformed into four legs, the double rod sleeve shaft 4 and the universal seat 3 can be automatically fixed, preventing the four legs that can be transformed into wheels from rotating and improving the walking stability of the four-legged inspection robot. The wheel positioning part 6 and the double rod sleeve shaft 4 are electrically connected and can automatically lock by switching between the four legs and the wheel body.
[0070] The usage process of the autonomous obstacle-crossing inspection robot for substations provided by this invention is as follows:
[0071] The inspection body 1 is started. The control center 11 inside the inspection body 1 is connected to the external control mechanism by electrical signal. The program set inside the control center 11 can be started by the external program, which drives the inspection body 1 to drive the walking wheels 2 to perform various actions, so as to realize the movement of the inspection robot.
[0072] When the inspection body 1 moves, the inspection body 1 will drive the walking wheels 2 to rotate through the internal drive mechanism. When the walking wheels 2 rotate, they will cooperate with the drive of the first section of the main arm 21 and the second section of the elastic arm 22 to achieve the four-legged movement of the inspection body 1.
[0073] When the inspection body 1 needs to move at high speed, the deformation motor 423 is started. The deformation motor 423 drives the wheel deformation shaft 42 to rotate. The rotation of the wheel deformation shaft 42 drives the central drive roller 421 to rotate. The rotation of the central drive roller 421 winds up the drive steel wire 422. The winding of the drive steel wire 422 pulls the two sets of upright leg spring steel 51 to retract each other.
[0074] During the retraction of the upright leg spring steel 51, since its two ends are hinged through the lateral assembly 53 (the lateral assembly 53 is made of the same material as the upright leg spring rod), the retraction of the upright leg spring steel 51 will press and deform the lateral assembly 53, causing the lateral assembly 53 to form a ring with the upright leg spring steel 51.
[0075] It should be noted that: because the central drive roller 421 rotates synchronously to wind the two sets of drive steel wires 422 connected to the upright leg spring steels 51, the two sets of upright leg spring steels 51 will move synchronously, so that the center point of the wheel formed by the upright leg spring steels 51 and the side assembly 53 coincides with the rotation axis 41, thus ensuring the stability of the wheel rotation.
[0076] When the upright leg spring steel 51 retracts and slides, the two ends of the upright leg spring steel 51 are connected to the fixing strips 54 to limit the sliding inside the deformation and shrinkage hole 414. Therefore, the deer leg spring steel can slide stably and firmly outside the rewind control box 411.
[0077] It should be noted that the power required by the deformable motor 423 is transmitted through the connection between the contact ring 35 and the receiving ring 413. After receiving the power, the receiving ring 413 transmits the power to the deformable motor 423 through a wire passing through the inside of the wheel body deformable shaft 42. At the same time, the power used to drive the deformable motor 423 to rotate will drive the electromagnetic plate 63, so that the magnetic force of the electromagnetic plate 63 can drive the electromagnetic block 66 to repel each other, causing the positioning slide rod 64 to retract into the embedded storage groove 61, and causing the winding control box 411 to disengage from the lock.
[0078] When the wheel leg deformable part 5 is deformed into a wheel body state, the drive motor 33 is started, which drives the drive motor to rotate. The rotation of the drive motor drives the driven gear 412 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating shaft 41 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 41 drives the wheel leg deformable part 5 to rotate through the fixing bar 54, allowing the upright leg spring steel 51 to roll at high speed on the ground through the rubber tire 52, thus realizing the high-speed movement of the inspection body 1.
[0079] Furthermore, by retracting the walking wheel legs 2, the inspection body 1 can slide at a low altitude at the bottom of the substation to complete the inspection of the bottom of the substation. When it is necessary to cross obstacles, it can reverse the deformation, allowing the wheel leg deformation parts 5 to deform into a four-legged state. The two sections of the walking wheel legs 2 work together to drive the inspection robot to climb and jump.
[0080] It should be noted that when the wheel leg deformable part 5 is deformed in the reverse direction, the current drives it in the reverse direction, and the electromagnetic plate 63 will drive the electromagnetic block 66 to be attracted, and the positioning slide rod 64 will lock the rotating shaft 41.
[0081] It should be noted that before use, inspection cameras or other inspection video equipment can be installed inside the equipment mounting slot 12 as needed for inspection.
[0082] It should be noted that the inspection body 1 has a battery inside, which can drive all the electric structures connected to the inspection body 1.
[0083] It should be noted that: In this invention, the electromagnetic plate 63 is electrically connected to the contact ring 35. When the contact ring 35 is energized, the electromagnetic plate 63 is energized synchronously, which activates the positioning slide rod 64 to retract or rotate out, thereby completing the locking of the double rod sleeve shaft 4.
