Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electromechanical equipment installation devices, and more specifically to a crawling device for installing electromechanical equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Electromechanical installations are typically large-scale, and the installation locations of electromechanical equipment are often at a certain height, requiring the use of crawling devices to raise the equipment to a higher position so that personnel can perform installation operations at the designated height.

[0003] Currently, traditional crawling devices are usually composed of lifting vehicles. However, such crawling devices are only suitable for relatively flat and solid road surfaces. When it is necessary to install electromechanical equipment near muddy roads, traditional crawling devices cannot maintain good stability, which affects the safety of use and reduces the practicality of the crawling device.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a crawling device for the installation of electromechanical equipment to solve the problem that traditional crawling devices cannot maintain good stability in muddy environments. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a crawling device for the installation of electromechanical equipment, thereby solving the problem that traditional crawling devices cannot maintain good stability in muddy environments.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A crawling device for installing electromechanical equipment includes a base, a lift, and auxiliary support components. The lift is mounted on the upper end of the base, and the lift has a liftable working platform. A set of auxiliary support components is located on each of the left and right sides of the base. Each set of auxiliary support components includes a dual-axis motor, a shaft, a robotic arm, an auxiliary support seat, and a connecting rod. The dual-axis motor is mounted on the side of the base. Its two output ends in the front-rear direction are respectively connected to the end of a shaft. The other end of the shaft is connected to one end of the robotic arm, which drives the robotic arm to rotate around the shaft. The other end of the robotic arm is positioned away from the base and is hinged to the auxiliary support seat. A small hydraulic telescopic rod connects the robotic arm and the auxiliary support seat. The lower end of the auxiliary support seat is flat, and a connecting rod is mounted on the auxiliary support seat, with the lower end of the connecting rod protruding from the lower end of the auxiliary support seat.

[0008] To optimize the above technical solution, the specific measures also include:

[0009] Furthermore, the end of the robotic arm is hinged to the side of the base via a hinge seat, and the end of the shaft passes through the hinge seat and is fixedly connected to the end of the robotic arm.

[0010] Furthermore, the robotic arm includes two connecting seats and a large hydraulic telescopic rod. Each end of the large hydraulic telescopic rod is connected to a connecting seat. The connecting seat near the moving end of the piston rod of the large hydraulic telescopic rod is connected to the shaft. The connecting seat near the fixed end of the cylinder of the large hydraulic telescopic rod is hinged to the auxiliary support seat. The two ends of the small hydraulic telescopic rod are respectively hinged to the outside of the cylinder of the large hydraulic telescopic rod and to the auxiliary support seat.

[0011] Furthermore, the auxiliary support base has a sliding hole, the insertion rod is slidably disposed in the sliding hole, and a limiting ring is fixed on the side wall above and below the sliding hole of the insertion rod. The upper and lower limiting rings are used to limit the range of sliding of the insertion rod along the sliding hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the auxiliary support base has an internal mounting cavity, in which a drive motor is fixedly installed. The output shaft of the drive motor is connected to a gear via a coupling. A rack is fixedly installed axially on the side of the insertion rod. The rack meshes with the gear and is distributed between two limiting rings.

[0013] Furthermore, a multi-stage ladder for docking with the elevator work platform is also fixedly installed at the upper end of the base.

[0014] Furthermore, a guardrail structure is fixedly installed on the working platform of the elevator. The guardrail structure has an opening on the side near the multi-step staircase, and a gate is hinged to the opening.

[0015] Furthermore, a latch structure is provided at the end of the fence structure where the gate is not hinged, and the rotated gate is fixed to the fence structure through the latch structure.

[0016] Furthermore, when the elevator is at its lowest height, the height of the working platform is consistent with the height of the highest step of the multi-level staircase.

[0017] Furthermore, the bottom end of the base is arrayed with multiple casters equipped with brake pads.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0019] This invention, through the setting of auxiliary support components, allows the device to be moved directly below the electromechanical installation location when electromechanical installation is required on muddy roads. A dual-axis motor synchronously drives two shafts to rotate the robotic arm. The robotic arm, with a certain speed, carries the auxiliary support base and its attached rod, moving it until the rod is inserted into the muddy road for pre-fixation. A small hydraulic telescopic rod is then used to adjust the lower end of the auxiliary support base to fit against the muddy road surface. The auxiliary support components on both sides ensure the stability of the entire crawling device during use, guaranteeing its safety and improving its practicality.

[0020] When in use, the entire device can be moved using casters with brake pads. When electromechanical installation is required on a muddy road, the crawling device is moved directly below the installation location. Then, the auxiliary support components are unfolded, and the insertion rod is inserted into the muddy road, thus ensuring the stability of the entire crawling device during use. At the same time, the protective function of the guardrail structure ensures the safety of the crawling device. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 3As shown in the figure, a crawling device for installing electromechanical equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a base 1, a lifting platform 2, and auxiliary support components 4. The lifting platform 2 is installed on the upper end of the base 1, and the lifting platform 2 is provided with a liftable working platform. A set of auxiliary support components 4 is provided on each of the left and right sides of the base 1. Each set of auxiliary support components 4 includes a dual-axis motor 406, a shaft 407, a robotic arm 402, an auxiliary support base 403, and a plug rod 405. The dual-axis motor 406 is installed on the side of the base 1, and the two output ends of the dual-axis motor 406 in the front-rear direction are respectively connected by couplings. The device is connected to one end of a shaft 407, and the other end of the shaft 407 is connected to one end of a robotic arm 402. The shaft 407 is used to drive the robotic arm 402 to rotate around the shaft 407. The other end of the robotic arm 402 is set away from the base 1 and is hinged to an auxiliary support 403. A small hydraulic telescopic rod 404 is connected between the robotic arm 402 and the auxiliary support 403. The lower end surface of the auxiliary support 403 is flat, and an insertion rod 405 is installed on the auxiliary support 403. The lower end of the insertion rod 405 protrudes from the lower end surface of the auxiliary support 403.

[0029] By setting up auxiliary support components 4, this invention allows the device to be moved directly below the electromechanical installation location when electromechanical installation is required on a muddy road. The dual-axis motor 406 synchronously drives two shafts 407 to rotate the robotic arm 402. The robotic arm 402, with a certain speed, carries the auxiliary support base 403 and its insert rod 405, moving it until the insert rod 405 is inserted into the muddy road for pre-fixation. Then, a small hydraulic telescopic rod 404 adjusts the lower end of the auxiliary support base 403 to fit against the muddy road surface. The auxiliary support components 4 on both sides ensure the stability of the entire crawling device during use, guaranteeing its safety and improving its practicality.

[0030] In this design, the overall rotation angle range of the auxiliary support assembly 4, i.e., the rotation range of the shaft 407 driving the robotic arm 402, can be set from 0 to 150°. When the device moves, the auxiliary support assembly 4 can be rotated upwards to an angle of 0, thereby bringing the auxiliary support assembly 4 close to the side of the base 1, reducing the space occupied by the entire crawling device, and thus facilitating the movement of the entire crawling device.

[0031] In a further specific embodiment based on the above, the end of the robotic arm 402 is hinged to the side of the base 1 via a hinge seat 401, and the end of the shaft 407 passes through the hinge seat 401 and is fixedly connected to the end of the robotic arm 402.

[0032] In a further specific embodiment based on the above, the robotic arm 402 includes two connecting seats 4021 and a large hydraulic telescopic rod 4022. Each end of the large hydraulic telescopic rod 4022 is connected to a connecting seat 4021. The connecting seat 4021 near the piston rod moving end of the large hydraulic telescopic rod 4022 is connected to a shaft 407. The connecting seat 4021 near the cylinder fixed end of the large hydraulic telescopic rod 4022 is hinged to an auxiliary support seat 403. The two ends of the small hydraulic telescopic rod 404 are respectively hinged to the outside of the cylinder of the large hydraulic telescopic rod 4022 and to the auxiliary support seat 403.

[0033] Therefore, when using the robotic arm 402, the angle of the robotic arm 402 can be easily adjusted by utilizing the hinged relationship between the connecting seat 4021 and the hinge seat 401, and the hinged relationship between the connecting seat 4021 and the auxiliary support seat 403. The extension length of the robotic arm 402 can be easily adjusted using the large hydraulic telescopic rod 4022. The contact position between the auxiliary support seat 403 and the ground can be easily adjusted according to the usage environment to meet diverse support needs.

[0034] Specifically, the fixed end of the small hydraulic telescopic rod 404 is hinged to the outer side of the cylinder, and the output end of the small hydraulic telescopic rod 404 is hinged to the auxiliary support seat 403. In the above-mentioned scheme with a hinge seat 401, the connecting seat 4021 for connecting to the shaft 407 can be hinged to the hinge seat 401.

[0035] Furthermore, the angle between the connecting seat 4021 and the auxiliary support seat 403 can be adjusted by the extension and retraction of the small hydraulic telescopic rod 404, thereby adjusting the angle between the auxiliary support seat 403 and the robotic arm 402, so that the auxiliary support seat 403 is in close contact with the muddy road surface, ensuring the support effect of the muddy road surface on the auxiliary support seat 403.

[0036] As attached Figure 4 As shown, in a further specific embodiment based on the above, the auxiliary support base 403 is provided with a sliding hole 4031 perpendicular to the auxiliary support base 403. The insertion rod 405 is slidably disposed in the sliding hole 4031, and a limiting ring 4051 is fixed on the side wall above and below the sliding hole 4031 of the insertion rod 405. The upper and lower limiting rings 4051 are used to limit the range of sliding of the insertion rod 405 along the sliding hole 4031.

[0037] The auxiliary support base 403 has an internal mounting cavity, in which a drive motor 4032 that can rotate in both directions is fixedly installed. The output shaft of the drive motor 4032 is connected to a gear 4033 via a coupling. The gear 4033 rotates automatically inside the auxiliary support base 403 via a bearing. A rack 4052 is fixedly installed axially on the side of the insert rod 405. The rack 4052 meshes with the gear 4033, and the rack 4052 is distributed between two limiting rings 4051.

[0038] In this way, the drive motor 4032 drives the gear 4033 to rotate, thereby controlling the rack 4052 to move the insertion rod 405 up and down, thereby controlling the depth of the insertion rod 405 into the muddy road, so as to increase the convenience of disassembly and assembly.

[0039] In a further specific embodiment based on the above, a multi-stage ladder 3 for docking with the working platform of the elevator 2 is also fixedly installed at the upper end of the base 1.

[0040] In this design, a guardrail structure 201 is fixedly installed on the working platform of the aforementioned elevator 2. The side of the guardrail structure 201 closest to the multi-step staircase 3 has an opening, and a gate 2011 is hinged to the opening. In this design, the height of the guardrail structure 201 can be set to 1m.

[0041] In this case, a latch structure 2012 is provided at the end of the fence structure 201 where the gate 2011 is not hinged. The rotated gate 2011 is fixed to the fence structure 201 by the latch structure 2012.

[0042] In this way, when the gate 2011 is opened, it is convenient to enter the interior of the guardrail structure 201 from the multi-step ladder 3. Then, the gate 2011 and the guardrail structure 201 are fixed by the latch structure 2012, forming a semi-enclosed structure of the guardrail structure 201. This ensures the safety of the staff when they follow the guardrail structure 201 up and down.

[0043] When the aforementioned elevator 2 is at its lowest height, the height of the work platform is the same as the height of the highest step of the multi-step staircase 3.

[0044] Thus, when the elevator 2 is lowered to its lowest height, workers can reach the work platform from the multi-step staircase 3, and then use the elevator 2 to control the workers to rise to the designated position.

[0045] In a further specific embodiment based on the above, the bottom end of the base 1 is arrayed with multiple casters 101 with brake pads. In this solution, a drive device for driving the casters 101 with brake pads to move can be installed inside the base 1. The drive device controls the casters 101 with brake pads to move forward, backward, and turn. The drive device can use a conventional drive device for a vehicle.

[0046] As attached Figure 5 As shown, a specific embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0047] Determine the location where electromechanical installation is required, and use the drive device inside the base 1 to drive the casters 101 with brake pads to move the entire crawling device directly below the electromechanical installation location.

[0048] Then, open the latch structure 2012 and the fence gate 2011. The staff enters the guardrail structure 201 through the multi-step ladder 3, and then closes the fence gate 2011. The elevator 2 controls the guardrail structure 201 and the staff to be raised to the position for electromechanical installation. Then the electromechanical installation work can be carried out. The protective function of the guardrail structure 201 can ensure the safe use of the crawling device.

[0049] When electromechanical installation is required on muddy or unstable surfaces, the auxiliary support assembly 4 is deployed. At this time, the dual-axis motor 406 controls the shaft 407 to rotate, which in turn causes the robotic arm 402 to rotate. The auxiliary support seat 403 carries the insertion rod 405 to the pre-fixed position. Then, the small hydraulic telescopic rod 404 extends and retracts, adjusting the angle between the connecting seat 4021 and the auxiliary support seat 403 so that the auxiliary support seat 403 is in close contact with the contact surface. Then, the drive motor 4032 rotates, controlling the gear 4033 to rotate, which in turn controls the rack 4052 to move the insertion rod 405 downward until the insertion rod 405 is embedded below the muddy surface. This completes the reinforcement and support of the crawling device, improving the stability of the crawling device during operation.
