[0041] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] The flowchart shown in the attached diagram is for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily include all content and operations / steps, nor does it necessarily have to be performed in the order described. For example, some operations / steps can be broken down, combined, or partially merged, so the actual execution order may change depending on the actual situation.

[0043] It should be understood that the terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the application. As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0044] It should also be understood that the term “and / or” as used in this application specification and the appended claims means any combination of one or more of the associated listed items and all possible combinations, and includes such combinations.

[0045] This application provides an embodiment of a method, system, device, and storage medium for cross-floor inspection of an inspection robot. The cross-floor inspection method can be applied to rail-mounted inspection robots. By using the vertical lifting of a civil elevator and the rail docking channel, it avoids deploying the inspection robot on each floor, reducing the complexity of rail laying. It enables the inspection robot to perform multiple track changes and dockings between different floors and the elevator rail, responding to cross-floor inspection tasks, and promptly reaching the target floor and inspection point, thus improving the efficiency of the inspection robot in performing cross-floor inspection tasks.

[0046] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0047] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1This is a schematic flowchart illustrating a cross-floor inspection method for an inspection robot, as provided in an embodiment of this application. This cross-floor inspection method can be applied to rail-mounted inspection robots, which are vertically lifted and docked with rails via civil elevators. It avoids deploying rail-mounted inspection robots on each floor, reduces the complexity of rail laying, and enables multiple track changes and dockings between the inspection robot and elevator rails on different floors. This allows the robot to respond to cross-floor inspection tasks, reach the target floor and inspection point in a timely manner, and improve the efficiency of the inspection robot in performing cross-floor inspection tasks.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the cross-floor inspection method of the inspection robot specifically includes steps S10 to S30.

[0049] Step S10: Determine the target floor and target inspection point of the inspection robot according to the current inspection task instruction;

[0050] Step S20: If the current floor where the inspection robot is located is different from the target floor, control the inspection robot to move to the target floor through a preset elevator and a preset track docking channel;

[0051] Step S30: When the inspection robot is detected to have arrived at the target floor, control the inspection robot to perform the current inspection task and travel to the target inspection point through the preset track docking channel.

[0052] In one embodiment, the inspection task instruction is parsed to extract the specific location data of the target floor and the target inspection point. The robot's current floor information is obtained through its own positioning system or external floor sensors. The current floor is compared with the target floor to determine whether it is necessary to move across floors.

[0053] If the current floor is different from the target floor, begin preparing to move across floors. Send a call request to the elevator, specifying the target floor.

[0054] The inspection robot is controlled to move to the track at the elevator entrance through a preset track docking channel, and waits for the elevator to arrive. When the elevator arrives and stops at the current floor, the inspection robot is controlled to enter the preset track docking channel inside the elevator.

[0055] Inside the elevator, the inspection robot is fixed to the elevator track via a track docking channel to conduct safety checks and ensure the stability and safety of the robot during elevator operation. The elevator runs according to the set target floor, stops and opens the elevator door after reaching the target floor.

[0056] The inspection robot is controlled to drive out of the elevator's track docking channel and move to the target floor's track through the preset track docking channel. The robot's own sensors or an external floor recognition system are used to detect whether the inspection robot has successfully reached the target floor.

[0057] This embodiment discloses a method for cross-floor inspection by an inspection robot. The method includes determining the target floor and target inspection point of the inspection robot based on the current inspection task instruction; if the current floor of the inspection robot is different from the target floor, controlling the inspection robot to move to the target floor via a preset elevator and a preset track docking channel; and upon detecting that the inspection robot has arrived at the target floor, controlling the inspection robot to execute the current inspection task and travel to the target inspection point via the preset track docking channel. Through this method, this application avoids deploying a track-mounted inspection robot on each floor by using the vertical lifting of a civil elevator and a track docking channel, reducing the complexity of track laying, enabling the inspection robot to perform multiple track changes and dockings between different floors and elevator tracks, responding to cross-floor inspection tasks, and promptly reaching the target floor and inspection point, thus improving the efficiency of the inspection robot in performing cross-floor inspection tasks.

[0058] based on Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, step S20 includes:

[0059] In response to the current inspection task instruction, an elevator call instruction is generated;

[0060] According to the elevator call command, control the preset elevator to move to the current floor;

[0061] The inspection robot is controlled to move to the target floor via the preset elevator and the preset track docking channel.

[0062] Specifically, the system obtains the current floor information of the inspection robot and determines whether the robot needs to move across floors. If it needs to move across floors, the system generates an elevator call command containing the target floor information and sends the command to the control system of the preset elevator.

[0063] After receiving a call command, the elevator automatically moves to the current floor where the inspection robot is located. The system then checks whether the elevator has arrived and stopped at the current floor. Once the elevator arrives, the system controls the inspection robot to move to the track at the elevator entrance via a pre-set track docking channel, and then controls the inspection robot to enter the pre-set track docking subsystem inside the elevator.

[0064] The inspection robot is fixed to the elevator track via a track docking channel. The elevator runs according to the set target floor, stops upon reaching the target floor, and opens its doors. The inspection robot is then controlled to exit from the track docking device inside the elevator and move to the track on the target floor via the preset track docking channel.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, controlling the inspection robot to move to the target floor via the preset elevator and the preset track docking channel includes:

[0066] The inspection robot is controlled to move to the elevator track connection point of the current floor through the preset track docking channel, wherein the elevator track connection point is the connection point between the preset elevator and the preset track docking channel;

[0067] Upon detecting that the preset elevator has arrived at the current floor, the inspection robot is controlled to move into the interior of the preset elevator;

[0068] The inspection robot is transported to the target floor via the preset elevator and the current inspection task instruction.

[0069] In a specific embodiment, before step S20, the following is included:

[0070] The coordinates of the elevator car track position in the preset elevator and the coordinates of the preset floor track position of each preset floor are obtained in advance.

[0071] Based on the elevator car track position coordinates and the track position coordinates of each preset floor, the preset track docking channel corresponding to each preset floor is determined.

[0072] Specifically, by communicating with the elevator control system or using pre-stored data, the position coordinates of the elevator car track in the preset elevator are obtained. The position coordinates of the preset floor track for each preset floor are obtained from the system database. The obtained elevator car track position coordinates are matched and analyzed with the position coordinates of each preset floor track to determine their relative positional relationship and docking feasibility.

[0073] Based on the coordinate matching results, a corresponding preset track docking channel is determined for each preset floor to ensure that the inspection robot can smoothly dock and move between the elevator track and the floor track through these channels. According to the determined preset track docking channels, a docking channel layout diagram of the entire building is generated to clarify the docking relationship and path between each floor and the elevator.

[0074] based on Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, before step S20, the following steps are included:

[0075] If the inspection robot is detected to be located on the target floor, the inspection robot is controlled to perform the current inspection task.

[0076] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This application provides a schematic diagram of the principle of a cross-floor inspection robot system, which is an embodiment of the present application.

[0077] The inspection robot's cross-floor inspection device includes an elevator car docking subsystem and a floor docking subsystem:

[0078] An elevator car docking subsystem is installed inside a pre-set elevator and is used to carry the inspection robot from a pre-set track docking channel and transport the inspection robot to the target floor.

[0079] The floor docking subsystem is set on each preset floor and is used to carry the inspection robot from the preset track docking channel to perform the current inspection task or to carry the inspection robot to the preset track docking channel.

[0080] Specifically, in order to enable the rail-mounted inspection robot to perform cross-floor inspections, it is first necessary to set up a vertical elevator that can connect each floor (this elevator can be an existing elevator on the floor or a dedicated elevator can be constructed during construction). The hoisting rails deployed on each floor are connected to the elevator door entrance, and a fixed rail is set up in the elevator, which can be connected to the rails on different floors by changing rails.

[0081] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This application provides an application scenario diagram of a cross-floor inspection robot system, which is provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0082] Position sensors are installed at the interfaces between the tracks and elevators on each floor. When the inspection robot travels to the position, the positioning sensor is triggered, and the backend dispatches a vertical elevator to reach the floor where the inspection robot is located.

[0083] A track docking device is installed inside the elevator, enabling the inspection robot to transfer from the floor track to the elevator's internal track. The program is set so that after the robot arrives at the elevator entrance and opens the elevator door, the track docking device pulls the internal elevator track outwards, completing the docking between the inner and outer tracks. After docking, the inspection robot can drive into the elevator's internal track. Position sensors are installed on the internal elevator track; once the robot has completed its transfer, the track docking device separates from the track. The docking and separation states of the elevator's internal docking device are shown in [link to documentation]. Figure 3 As shown.

[0084] In a specific embodiment, the elevator car docking subsystem includes an internal docking track, a tie rod mechanism, a drive motor, and a positioning sensor;

[0085] The elevator car docking subsystem is also used to detect the position of the inspection robot through the positioning sensor, drive the internal docking track through the lever mechanism, and control the internal docking track to dock with the preset track docking channel;

[0086] The internal docking track is driven by the pull rod mechanism to control the separation of the internal docking track from the preset track docking channel.

[0087] The elevator car docking subsystem mainly consists of docking rails, a tie rod mechanism, a drive motor, and positioning sensors. Driven by the tie rod mechanism, the docking rails connect and disconnect with the internal elevator rails and the rails on each floor. The positioning sensors transmit positioning signals to ensure the correct execution of the docking and disconnection actions. Guide grooves are installed at the docking points to ensure reliable docking.

[0088] In a specific embodiment, the floor docking subsystem includes positioning sensors and hoisting rails;

[0089] The positioning sensor is used to detect the position of the inspection robot;

[0090] The hoisting track is used to carry the inspection robot to perform the current inspection task on each of the preset floors.

[0091] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of an inspection robot before it moves between floors, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 This embodiment of the application provides a schematic diagram of an inspection robot's cross-floor inspection system after it has moved across floors. Once the inspection robot successfully enters the elevator's internal track and completes the separation of the inner and outer tracks, the elevator carries the robot across floors. Upon reaching the next floor, the above actions are repeated to dock with the external track, allowing the robot to leave the elevator normally and begin its inspection work on the next floor.

[0092] It should be noted that the cross-floor inspection robot system also includes: a core control system, a hardware module system, a communication system, and a power supply system. The core control system is responsible for processing the data collected by the positioning sensors, robot scheduling system, elevator control system, and track docking system, as well as the task logic processing. The hardware module system consists of basic hardware components, including the hoisting tracks for each floor, pre-set elevators, the inspection robot body, and the track docking device.
