An ore sampling device mounted on a bionic tracked wheel-foot robot

Abstract

This invention belongs to the technical field of special robots and geological exploration equipment, and particularly relates to an ore sampling device mounted on a biomimetic tracked wheeled robot. It includes a horizontal base frame, a horizontal movement mechanism, an angle adjustment mechanism, a sampling rod, a housing, and a gripper mechanism. The angle adjustment mechanism includes a second motor, a dial plate, a turntable, and a rotating sleeve. The turntable has an arc-shaped guide groove, and the rotating sleeve passes through the turntable and is rotatably connected to the sampling rod. One end of the dial plate is driven by the output end of the second motor, and the other end slides into the arc-shaped guide groove and is hinged to the sampling rod. The gripper mechanism is located inside the housing and includes a threaded rod, a transmission nut, and multiple sets of crank connecting rods. The transmission nut is sleeved on the threaded rod and hinged to the crank connecting rods. This invention enables adjustment of the sampling rod's entry angle and the enveloping gripping of irregular ores, improving the success rate of field sampling and sample integrity.
