Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of robotics, and more specifically to a novel collaborative safety inspection robot. Background Technology
[0002] Textiles are a long-standing and ever-evolving field that encompasses the entire process from raw material collection and processing to final product manufacturing. Textiles use various natural and synthetic fibers, and through different technologies and processes, such as spinning, weaving, knitting, and nonwovens, these fibers are transformed into products such as yarns, fabrics, and clothing. Nowadays, textiles are usually processed in textile factories using assembly lines. During the processing of textiles, safety inspections of textile factories are required.
[0003] To prevent unnecessary safety hazards, it is necessary to regularly check the equipment inside the textile factory for potential dangers such as leaks, unusual noises, odors, and heat. However, manual inspections may expose workers to danger over long periods of time, and the fatigue of workers may lead to insufficient inspection of the equipment. Furthermore, existing inspection robots are not intelligent, integrated, or efficient enough, and cannot cooperate well with workers during inspections. This hinders the use of a new type of collaborative safety inspection robot. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel collaborative safety inspection robot to overcome the aforementioned deficiencies in the prior art.
[0005] A novel collaborative safety inspection robot includes a chassis shell, in which a drive motor is installed. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to a rotating wheel. An integration platform is connected to the top of the chassis shell. An intelligent detection device and an interaction device are installed on the integration platform. An autonomous obstacle avoidance device is installed at the front end of the chassis shell. A high-efficiency power supply device is installed inside the chassis shell.
[0006] Preferably, the intelligent detection device includes a gimbal, a high-definition camera, and a first infrared camera. The gimbal is rotatably connected to the integrated platform, the high-definition camera is rotatably connected to one side of the gimbal, and the first infrared camera is rotatably connected to the other side of the integrated platform.
[0007] Preferably, the autonomous obstacle avoidance device includes a lidar, a depth vision camera, and a second infrared camera. The lidar is embedded in the side of the chassis shell, the depth vision cameras are embedded in both sides of the front end of the chassis shell, and the second infrared camera is embedded in the front end of the chassis shell.
[0008] Preferably, the intelligent interactive device includes a 5G signal transmission pole, a microphone, an alarm, and a screen. The top of the chassis housing is provided with a 5G signal transmission pole, the side of the integrated platform is embedded with a microphone, and the top of the integrated platform is provided with an alarm and an embedded screen.
[0009] Preferably, the high-efficiency power supply device includes a high-density battery, a third infrared camera, and a three-prong charging port. The high-density battery is fixedly connected inside the chassis housing. The third infrared camera is symmetrically embedded on both sides of the rear end of the chassis housing. The rear end of the chassis housing is provided with a three-prong charging port for charging the high-density battery.
[0010] Preferably, the top of the chassis housing is also provided with a laser detector.
[0011] Preferably, the depth vision camera is provided in two parts and is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second infrared camera.
[0012] Preferably, the third infrared camera is provided in two parts and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the three-prong charging port.
[0013] Preferably, a speaker is also embedded in the side of the integrated platform.
[0014] The beneficial effects achieved by this invention are as follows:
[0015] 1. This application uses a laser detector head to detect and sense indicators such as temperature, humidity, and gas concentration around a textile factory, enabling timely detection of safety hazards. The pan-tilt unit allows the high-definition camera and the first infrared camera to rotate at multiple angles, expanding the detection range. The high-definition camera can capture high-definition images of the equipment inside the textile factory, while the first infrared camera can capture nighttime images of the textile factory. The lidar can scan the images inside the textile factory, and the depth vision camera can perform in-depth analysis of the environment around the textile factory. The second infrared camera can also perform in-depth perception of the environment around the textile factory at night, improving the perception capability of the environment and ensuring the accuracy of the inspection.
[0016] 2. The microphone can identify the surrounding environment and then transmit it to the terminal via the 5G signal transmission pole. The terminal personnel can then use the 5G signal transmission pole to convey the information to the staff inside the textile factory through the speaker. When a dangerous accident occurs, the alarm will sound. The screen allows operators to easily operate the robot through a graphical interface.
[0017] 3. High-density batteries can meet the power requirements during inspections. When the high-density battery is low, the robot will automatically find a charging station, and then the third infrared camera will identify the socket, allowing the three-prong charging hole to be inserted for charging. The visual recognition system refers to the robot being equipped with an advanced visual recognition system that can identify various equipment and facilities in the textile factory and accurately determine whether there are any safety hazards. The automatic alarm system refers to the robot's automatic alarm system that can intuitively remind users of safety hazards through sound and light, enhancing the warning effect. The real-time communication system refers to the robot being equipped with a real-time communication system that can communicate instantly with inspection personnel and managers to coordinate and handle safety incidents in a timely manner. The efficient collaboration system refers to the robot having an efficient collaboration mechanism that can seamlessly collaborate with other safety facilities and systems to achieve high efficiency and high quality in safety inspections.
[0018] 4. The multiple devices and systems work together, interact, and complement each other, making the new type of collaborative safety inspection robot more intelligent, integrated, and efficient. This design addresses the issue that while regular inspections of textile factory equipment are necessary to prevent unnecessary safety hazards such as leaks, unusual noises, odors, and heat, manual inspections can lead to prolonged exposure to danger and reduced worker fatigue, potentially resulting in incomplete equipment checks. Furthermore, existing inspection robots lack intelligence, integration, and efficiency, failing to effectively cooperate with workers during inspections. This hinders the use of the new collaborative safety inspection robot, reducing the time personnel are exposed to danger, decreasing the likelihood of risks, and improving the efficiency of textile factory inspections.
