TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of bionic robot support design, and particularly relates to a support vehicle for large whale shark robot transfer and hoisting. BACKGROUND
[0002] The bionic whale shark robot is a large underwater ornamental bionic fish, which is consistent in shape with a whale shark and weighs more than 350 kg, and is covered with a bionic skin, and can complete straight swimming, turning, surfacing and diving, depth keeping movement, mouth opening and closing, gill slit simulation, bait throwing and other actions. As an ornamental bionic whale shark robot, it often needs to be transferred, hoisted and frequently used, but due to its complex shape structure, large size and heavy weight, it will face many technical difficulties in the use process. The technical difficulties mainly include three aspects: first, the support of the whale shark robot; second, the transfer of the whale shark robot; and third, the hoisting of the whale shark robot. At present, there is no special transfer tool for the bionic whale shark robot, and the conventional flat car is usually used in combination with an adjustable height support for support and fixation. The disadvantages are as follows: first, the support point is subjected to excessive force, which is easy to cause local deformation and damage of the bionic whale shark robot; second, the positioning of the support point is difficult, and on-site adjustment is time-consuming and labor-consuming; and third, the stability of the support point is poor, and the safety of the transfer is low. SUMMARY
[0003] The technical problem solved by the present application is to provide a whale shark robot support vehicle, which solves the three problems of excessive force on the support point, which is easy to cause local deformation and damage of the bionic whale shark robot, difficult positioning of the support point, which needs on-site adjustment and is time-consuming and labor-consuming, and poor stability of the support point, which is low in safety of the transfer.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present application is: a whale shark robot support vehicle, comprising a support vehicle and five groups of support assemblies arranged in sequence along the length direction of the vehicle body on the support vehicle, the support vehicle being of a frame structure and being provided at the bottom with brake wheels, the support assemblies comprising a first support assembly, a second support assembly, a third support assembly, a fourth support assembly and a fifth support assembly, each group of support assemblies being composed of a support block and a support block pad, the lower end of the support block being fixed on the support vehicle, the upper end of the support block being of a profiling structure, the end face contour of which is adapted to the concave-convex contour of the whale shark robot at the corresponding position, and the support block pad being connected to the upper end of the support block for wear prevention, and the whale shark robot on the support vehicle being hoisted by a sling.
[0005] Preferably, the vehicle plate plane of the support vehicle is provided with a pad plate, which is a flat plate structure for temporary storage of support vehicle matching tools.
[0006] Preferably, it further comprises an adjusting pad, which is arranged between the whale shark robot and the support assembly for filling the gap therebetween.

The first support component and the third support component are respectively located at two symmetrical positions on the arc-shaped outer contour of the front half of the whale shark robot. The second support component is arranged near the lowest point of the outer contour of the whale shark robot. The second support component and the fourth support component are respectively arranged on both sides of the third support component. The third support component and the fourth support component, together with the first support component and the second support component, are located on both sides of the center of gravity of the whale shark robot and are balanced. The fifth support component is located at the rear end of the support vehicle to support the tail of the whale shark robot.

[0014] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. In this application, the direction of the vehicle's front is considered the front side, and the direction of the vehicle's rear is considered the rear side.
[0015] Because the whale shark robot is huge and its main body is curved with no flat structure for support, ordinary transfer devices cannot be universally used. Due to its large size and weight, it cannot be manually moved or hoisted. Therefore, a support vehicle that can adapt to the shape of the whale shark robot is needed for its transfer.
[0016] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a whale shark robot support vehicle includes a support vehicle 1 and five sets of support components arranged sequentially along the length of the vehicle body. The support vehicle 1 has a frame structure, with the main frame composed primarily of steel pipes, steel plates, angle steel, channel steel, and steel bars. The outer frame is composed of steel pipes welded together and reinforced with reinforcing ribs to stabilize the overall frame. Channel steel and angle steel are also welded onto the frame to install the support components, allowing the support components to be securely fixed to the support vehicle 1. The support components can also be replaced with the appropriate ones according to the actual robot model being lifted. Brake wheels are provided at the bottom of the support vehicle 1, enabling transfer movement, braking, and self-locking functions. A pad 3, a flat structure, is provided on the flat surface of the support vehicle 1's frame for temporary storage of the support vehicle's tools.
[0017] The support components include a first support component 2, a second support component 4, a third support component 5, a fourth support component 6, and a fifth support component 7. For example... Figure 3 As shown, each support assembly consists of a support block 8 and a support block pad 9. The support block 8 is made of wood, with its upper end carved from solid wood to mimic the shape of the robot. The lower end of the support block 8 rests on the support cart 1. An angle iron is welded to the support cart 1 at each of the front and rear end faces of the support block 8 to limit its forward and backward position. The upper end of the support block 8 has a mimicry structure, and its end face contour matches the contour of the whale shark robot at the corresponding position. The support block pad 9 is connected to the upper end of the support block 8 for wear prevention. The whale shark robot on the support cart 1 is lifted and transported using slings. Figure 1 As shown in the diagram, the double-dotted line represents the outline of the whale shark robot. Five support components correspond to the five support areas of the whale shark robot. The first and third support components are located symmetrically on either side of the arc-shaped outer contour of the front half of the whale shark robot. The second support component is positioned near the lowest point of the outer contour. The second and fourth support components are positioned on either side of the third support component. The third and fourth support components, along with the first and second support components, are located on either side of the whale shark robot's center of gravity and are balanced. The fifth support component is located at the rear of the support vehicle to support the tail of the whale shark robot. Based on the shape and weight data of the whale shark robot and the positions of the five support components of the support vehicle 1, the computer system simulates and calculates the positions and outlines of the five support areas of the whale shark robot according to the center of gravity balance requirements. This yields the shape of the upper end of the adjustment support block 8 corresponding to each support component, which is then sculpted and shaped. Adjustment pads are also included, placed between the whale shark robot and the support components to fill the gap between them. The number of adjustment pads added at the contact points between the support structure and the whale shark robot controls the degree of fit between them.
[0018] The above describes specific embodiments of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Any modifications or equivalent transformations based on the technical solutions of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
