[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0018] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 ,in Figure 1A three-dimensional view of the main structure of the intelligent automatic positioning ceiling drilling machine provided by the present invention; Figure 2 This is a structural view of the lifting device provided by the present invention; Figure 3 This is a front view of the main structure of the intelligent automatic positioning ceiling drilling machine provided by the present invention; Figure 4 A structural view of the drilling apparatus provided by the present invention; Figure 5 Structural view of the power unit provided by the present invention; Figure 6 The structural view of the bottom skeleton provided by the present invention Figure 1 ; Figure 7 The structural view of the bottom skeleton provided by the present invention Figure 2 ; Figure 8 A structural view of the lithium battery provided by the present invention.

[0019] In the specific implementation process, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the present invention provides an intelligent automatic positioning ceiling drilling machine, which mainly includes a power unit 100, a GPS positioning device 200, a lifting device 300, a drilling device 400, a battery assembly 500, and an infrared sensing camera.

[0020] The power unit is used to support the entire machine and enable ground movement and positioning. It includes: a front steering wheel, a front drive shaft, a front differential, a central drive wheel, a central drive shaft, a central drive shaft protective housing, a rear steering wheel, a rear drive shaft, a rear differential, and a drive motor.

[0021] The front steering wheels consist of two sets, with two wheels in each set. The wheel spacing is 2460mm, the wheel width is 100mm, and the wheel diameter is 200mm. The front steering wheels are connected to the front differential via the front drive shaft. The front differential is connected to the drive motor, thereby transmitting the power of the drive motor to the front steering wheels.

[0022] The centrally located drive wheel is positioned in the middle of the machine and is used to provide the main driving force. The centrally located drive wheel is connected to the drive motor through a centrally located drive shaft, and the centrally located drive shaft is protected and fixed by a protective shell.

[0023] The rear steering wheels consist of two sets, with two wheels in each set. The wheel spacing is 2460mm, the wheel width is 100mm, and the wheel diameter is 200mm. The rear steering wheels are connected to the rear differential via the rear drive shaft. The rear differential is connected to the drive motor, enabling the driving force to be output at the rear wheel end.

[0024] To improve the overall structural strength and stability, a bottom frame is also provided in this embodiment. The bottom frame consists of eight circular supports, eight rectangular aluminum plates and four square tubes, and is connected and fixed to the protective shell of the central drive shaft and the power unit to support and position the power unit.

[0025] With the above structural design, the power unit can not only output driving force for walking, but also provide a stable chassis structure to ensure stability during subsequent lifting and drilling processes.

[0026] The GPS positioning device is used to obtain the coordinate information of the target hole position and form a positioning control closed loop with the drilling device, including a GPS positioning system and a coordinate system transmission system.

[0027] In this embodiment: The GPS positioning system is installed directly below the drilling rig to accurately locate the position of the entire machine, thereby obtaining the deviation between the current position of the equipment and the target hole position.

[0028] The coordinate system transmission system is installed above the replaceable drill bit to import the depth and coordinate information of the ceiling hole, and to interact with the information control transmission system of the drilling device to achieve accurate real-time positioning.

[0029] The combination of the GPS positioning system and the coordinate system transmission system allows the device to import the hole position coordinates before operation, locate and output hole position control information in real time during operation, and provide a basis for automatic movement and precise drilling.

[0030] The lifting device is used to adjust the drilling height to ensure that the drilling device can adapt to the construction needs of different ceiling heights. It includes a circular slide rail, a fixing block, a hydraulic device, a connecting rod, and a telescopic bracket.

[0031] In this embodiment: Two circular slide rails are fixed above the GPS positioning system by fixing blocks, so that the lifting device and the positioning system form a relatively stable installation reference.

[0032] The hydraulic device is connected to the telescopic support via a connecting rod. The hydraulic device provides the lifting driving force, and the connecting rod realizes the power transmission and linkage with the mechanism.

[0033] The telescopic support consists of five sets, installed on circular slide rails. It is driven by a hydraulic device to achieve telescopic movement, thereby driving the drilling device to rise or fall as a whole, and completing the adjustment of the drilling height.

[0034] Preferably, during the lifting process, the circular slide rail provides guidance for the telescopic support, making the lifting movement more stable and reducing swaying during drilling; the multiple structures of the telescopic support can share the load and improve the overall rigidity, thereby improving the drilling positioning accuracy and safety.

[0035] The drilling device is the key component for realizing the drilling function of this invention, including a drive motor, gear one, gear two, a replaceable drill bit, and an information control and transmission system.

[0036] In this embodiment: The drive motor drives gear one to rotate, gear one then drives gear two to rotate, and gear two is connected to a replaceable drill bit to achieve drilling operations.

[0037] Replaceable drill bits can be changed according to the ceiling material and hole diameter requirements. For example, different diameter or different structural forms of drill bits can be matched in different construction scenarios to improve the versatility and construction adaptability of the equipment.

[0038] The information control and transmission system is used to connect the GPS positioning system and the coordinate system transmission system to realize the transmission of positioning information and drilling control information, so that the drilling device can complete drilling at the target hole position according to the set parameters.

[0039] The battery compartment, intelligent control device, and remote control device are used for power supply and control of the whole machine, including lithium battery, intelligent control device and transmission line, and are equipped with remote control device for remote control.

[0040] In this embodiment: Four lithium batteries are installed on the bottom frame to power the power unit, lifting device, drilling device and infrared sensor camera.

[0041] The intelligent control device transmits electrical energy to the drilling device and the power motor through the transmission line, and performs intelligent control over the movement, lifting and lowering of the whole machine and the drilling process.

[0042] The remote control device is used to remotely control the movement and drilling of equipment, improving the convenience of operation. It can be used for starting, pausing, resetting and moving operations, so that construction personnel do not need to operate directly below the drilling point, reducing risks.

[0043] Infrared sensing cameras are used to monitor the construction environment and achieve obstacle avoidance. They consist of a sensing computing device, an infrared sensor, and a high-definition camera. The infrared sensor, in conjunction with the high-definition camera, is mounted on the machine's head to achieve precise obstacle avoidance based on actual site conditions, ensuring safe operation of the equipment in complex construction environments.

[0044] In this embodiment, the infrared sensor camera continuously detects surrounding obstacles. When an obstacle or person enters the danger zone, the intelligent control device can control the power unit to stop moving or adjust its movement path, and suspend drilling operations if necessary, thereby improving construction safety.

[0045] The working process of this invention: Step S1: Equipment Preparation Confirm that all transmission connections of the power unit are secure, the lithium battery has sufficient power, the drilling device and replaceable drill bits are installed in place, and the infrared sensor camera is in working order.

[0046] Step S2: Initial position setting and parameter import Move the equipment to the starting position and start the GPS positioning system; import the target hole coordinates and ceiling hole depth and other construction parameters into the coordinate system transmission system, so that the positioning system and the information control transmission system can establish a communication relationship and enter a standby state.

[0047] Step S3: Automatic positioning and movement alignment The intelligent control device reads the location data output by the GPS positioning system and controls the power unit to drive the whole machine to the location of the target hole. During the movement, the infrared sensor and high-definition camera monitor the surrounding environment in real time and execute deceleration, detour or stop when an obstacle is detected.

[0048] Step S4: Height adjustment and drill hole alignment Once the target position is reached, the lifting device is activated. The hydraulic device drives the telescopic bracket to extend and retract under the guidance of the circular slide rail via the connecting rod, thereby adjusting the height of the drilling device so that the replaceable drill bit can reach the predetermined drilling height position and stay stably.

[0049] Step S5: Perform drilling The drive motor is started, and the replaceable drill bit is rotated through the transmission of gear one and gear two to realize drilling; the information control and transmission system controls the drilling process according to the imported hole depth parameters to ensure that the hole depth meets the requirements.

[0050] Step S6: Drilling completed and repositioned After drilling is completed, the drive motor is stopped, and the lifting device is reset or returned to the safe moving height. The power unit moves to the next target hole under the control of the intelligent control device, and steps S3 to S6 are repeated until all holes are completed.

[0051] Through the above process, the present invention can realize automated construction of continuous holes, reduce manual measurement and high-altitude operations, and improve efficiency and accuracy.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the drill bit is worn or the hole diameter needs to be changed, the replaceable drill bit can be directly disassembled and replaced with a drill bit of the appropriate specification, thereby meeting different construction needs.

[0053] Meanwhile, each module, lifting device, drilling device, battery compartment and intelligent control device are relatively independent, which facilitates inspection and upgrade maintenance.

[0054] The working principle of this invention is as follows: The GPS positioning system obtains the current position of the whole machine and compares it with the coordinates of the target hole. The coordinate system transmission system transmits the hole coordinates and hole depth parameters to the information control transmission system. The intelligent control device outputs control commands to drive the power unit to complete the movement and alignment. Then, the lifting device adjusts the height of the drilling device so that the replaceable drill bit can reach the predetermined drilling position. Finally, the drive motor drives the drill bit to rotate through gear one and gear two to complete the drilling. During the construction process, the infrared sensor camera continuously monitors the environment and avoids obstacles, thereby realizing the automation of the entire process of ceiling drilling.

[0055] The circuits and controls involved in this invention are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0056] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
