Detailed Implementation
[0024] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown:
[0025] An artificial intelligence-based downhole inspection and monitoring system includes a movable wheel frame 101, with wheels rotatably connected to each of the four corners of the wheel frame 101, and motors that can drive the wheels to rotate fixedly connected to each of the four corners of the wheel frame 101. A storage box 201 is fixedly attached to the wheel frame 101, and a frame 301 is slidably connected inside the storage box 201. Four pillars 203 are fixedly attached inside the storage box 201, and the frame 301 is inserted into the four pillars 203. A detachable camera body 302 is installed on the frame 301, and a compression spring 204 is fixedly connected between the frame 301 and the storage box 201.
[0026] Under normal conditions, the frame 301 is located at the top of the storage box 201 for monitoring and recording. It drives four motors to start and rotate four wheels, which in turn moves the wheel frame 101 and the camera body 302 to achieve inspection and monitoring recording underground. When encountering falling rocks underground, the frame 301 slides downward within the four pillars 203, which in turn moves the camera body 302 downward and stores it in the storage box 201. This allows the storage box 201 to protect the camera body 302 in dangerous situations such as falling rocks underground, thereby preventing the camera body 302 from being damaged by falling rocks and achieving protection for the camera body 302 in dangerous environments.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown:
[0028] A protective plate 306 is installed on the upper end of the cover 303;
[0029] The protective plate 306 can protect the camera body 302 from falling rocks and prevent them from hitting the camera body 302. The storage box 201 blocks falling rocks from the side, thus achieving all-round protection for the camera body 302.
[0030] like Figure 4 and 6 As shown:
[0031] The storage box 201 has four through slots I 202, each slot I 202 has a plug 207 inserted into it, the plug 207 is in contact with the bottom surface of the frame 301, at which time the compression spring II 204 is in a stretched state, each plug 207 is slidably connected to a round rod 205, each round rod 205 is fixed to the storage box 201, and each round rod 205 is fitted with a compression spring III 206, the two ends of the compression spring III 206 are fixed to the plug 207 and the round rod 205 respectively;
[0032] Compression spring Ⅲ 206 provides a pushing force to the insert 207, so that the insert 207 is elastically inserted into the slot Ⅰ 202 under normal conditions. The top surface of the insert 207 is flat and contacts the bottom surface of the frame 301. Thus, the four inserts 207 support the frame 301 and the camera body 302, so that the camera body 302 is in a state of extending out of the upper end of the storage box 201 for inspection and monitoring. At this time, compression spring Ⅱ 204 is in a stretched state. When encountering dangerous situations such as falling rocks, the four inserts 207 slide outward and separate from the frame 301. Under the elastic force of compression spring Ⅱ 204, the frame 301 is pulled down, causing the frame 301 and the camera body 302 to be retracted into the storage box 201. Thus, the camera body 302 is automatically retracted into the storage box 201 in dangerous situations.
[0033] like Figures 7 to 8 As shown:
[0034] The storage box 201 is fitted with a sliding frame 107, and four top rods 108 are fixedly connected to the sliding frame 107. The four top rods 108 respectively contact the inclined surfaces of the bottom surfaces of the four insert blocks 207.
[0035] The wheel frame 101 is surrounded by four insert plates 102, each insert plate 102 is fixedly connected to a baffle 103, and each baffle 103 is hinged to a hinge arm 106. The four hinge arms 106 are respectively hinged to the four surfaces of the slide frame 107.
[0036] Each of the baffles 103 is fixedly connected to a hinge rod 104, and each hinge rod 104 is inserted into the wheel frame 101. The lower ends of the four hinge arms 106 are respectively hinged to the four hinge rods 104. Each hinge rod 104 is fitted with a compression spring I 105, and the two ends of the compression spring I 105 are respectively fixedly connected to the wheel frame 101 and the baffle 103.
[0037] Under the elastic force of the compression spring I105, the baffle 103 is pushed outward. When a dangerous situation occurs, when the falling rock rolls down and hits the baffle 103, the downward impact force of the falling rock will squeeze the baffle 103 to slide inward. The baffle 103 drives the sliding frame 107 to move upward through the hinge arm 106. The sliding frame 107 drives the four top rods 108 to move upward. The four top rods 108 simultaneously press the inclined surfaces of the four inserts 207 upward, thereby driving the four inserts 207 to slide outward at the same time, thus separating from the frame 301, so that the frame 301 can automatically slide downward and be stored in the storage box 201.
[0038] Furthermore, since four baffles 103 are arranged around the wheel frame 101, no matter which direction a rolling stone falls from and squeezes the baffle 103 to move inward, it will drive the sliding frame 107 to move upward, thereby driving the four insert blocks 207 to move outward. This ensures that no matter which baffle 103 moves inward, the camera body 302 will be automatically retracted, thus protecting the camera body 302 in dangerous environments.
[0039] like Figure 9 As shown:
[0040] The upper end of the frame 301 is fixedly connected to the cover 303, and the protective plate 306 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the cover 303.
[0041] When the frame 301 slides down and is stored in the storage box 201, the frame 301 will drive the cover 303 to move down synchronously. The cover 303 will close onto the upper part of the storage box 201. At the same time, the cover 303 will also drive the protective plate 306 to move down to a position close to the storage box 201, thereby further preventing falling rocks from entering the storage box 201 and damaging the camera body 302.
[0042] like Figure 6 and 9 As shown in Figure 10:
[0043] The cover 303 has through slots Ⅱ305 on all four sides;
[0044] Each of the insert blocks 207 has inclined sliding surfaces 208 formed at both ends, and multiple pressure rods 304 are fixedly connected to the cover body 303. The multiple pressure rods 304 are respectively arranged corresponding to the multiple inclined sliding surfaces 208.
[0045] When the falling rock remains pressed against the baffle 103, the baffle 103 is always in an inward position, and the sliding frame 107 is always in an upward position. The four inclined sliding surfaces 208 press against the four inserts 207, keeping the four inserts 207 at their outer ends. At this time, when the frame 301 moves the cover 303 downward, it can smoothly close onto the storage box 201. When a falling rock rolls down and only momentarily passes over the baffle 103, the four inserts 207 instantly slide outward and are pulled away. After the frame 301 is retracted into the storage box 201, the baffle 103 resets, and the four inserts 207 instantly insert into the four slots I 202 and reset. At this time, when the cover 303 moves downward and closes onto the storage box 201, the cover 303 drives multiple pressure rods 304 to move downward simultaneously. The multiple pressure rods 304 and multiple inclined sliding surfaces 208 press against the four inserts 207. When contact occurs, multiple pressure rods 304 will press their corresponding inclined sliding surfaces 208, thereby driving the four insert blocks 207 to slide outwards again. When the four slots II 305 on the cover 303 correspond to the four slots I 202 on the storage box 201, the pressure rods 304 move to the lower end of the corresponding insert block 207 and separate from the insert block 207. At this time, the insert block 207 moves inwards under the elastic force of the compression spring III 206. The insert block 207 is simultaneously inserted into the slots II 305 and I 202 that are in a state of mutual connection. The four insert blocks 207 are inserted into the four slots I 202 and the four slots II 305, thereby locking the position of the cover 303, thereby further preventing the frame 301 and the camera body 302 from extending out of the storage box 201 again, providing double protection for the camera body 302.
[0046] like Figure 11 As shown:
[0047] Both baffles 103 located in the forward and backward directions of the wheel frame 101 are formed with shovels; when there are rolling stones obstructing the forward direction, the baffles 103 can help the wheel frame 101 to scoop up the rolling stones and push them to both sides along the arc surface of the shovels during the movement, thereby helping the wheel frame 101 to move out of the rolling stones.
