Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial inspection robot track equipment technology, and in particular to an industrial robot inspection track with an anti-derailment structure. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial inspection robots are widely used in high-risk or large-scale operation scenarios such as substations, chemical plants, power plants, and warehouses. They rely on tracks to perform automated monitoring of equipment temperature, gas, and appearance. The track is the basic load-bearing and guiding component that ensures the robot's stable movement. Existing conventional inspection tracks mostly use fixed groove limiting structures, and the internal limiting height and spacing of the track cannot be adjusted, resulting in poor adaptability.

[0003] Different models of inspection robots have significantly different wheel diameters and heights. When different models are mounted on the same track, traditional fixed limiting grooves cannot accommodate various wheel specifications. During robot movement, encountering conditions such as ground subsidence, equipment vibration, or sudden stops and turns, the wheels are prone to lateral deviation and derailment, causing the robot to float off the track. Once derailment occurs, the inspection robot will stop and become inoperable, interrupting monitoring operations. In high-risk production areas, this can also lead to equipment collisions, loss of monitoring data, and other potential hazards, significantly reducing the reliability of inspections.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an industrial robot inspection track with an anti-derailment structure to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention provides an industrial robot inspection track with an anti-derailment structure, which solves the problems of traditional inspection tracks having non-adjustable limiting structures, limited compatibility with a single model, easy robot floating and side slipping during operation leading to derailment, and poor stability of inspection operations.

[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0035] First Embodiment

[0036] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 ,in, Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a first embodiment of an industrial robot inspection track with an anti-derailment structure provided by the present invention; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows another perspective of the structure; Figure 3 for Figure 2 The diagram shows a partial structure. Figure 4 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the guide assembly and the snap-fit ​​assembly; Figure 5 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the guide component. Figure 6 for Figure 5 The diagram shows another perspective of the structure.

[0037] An industrial robot inspection track with an anti-derailment structure includes: a top plate 1;

[0038] Multiple mounting components 2, and multiple mounting components 1 are respectively disposed at both ends of both sides of the top plate 1;

[0039] The lower rail 3 is disposed at the bottom of the top plate 1;

[0040] Locking assembly 4, which is disposed between the lower rail 3 and the top plate 1;

[0041] Guide component 5, the guide component 5 being disposed at the bottom of the top plate 1;

[0042] The snap-fit ​​component 6 is disposed at the bottom of the lower rail 3.

[0043] The mounting assembly 2 includes a mounting plate 21, which is fixedly mounted on the side of the top plate 1, and the mounting plate 21 has mounting holes 22 inside.

[0044] Multiple mounting plates 21 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the top plate 1. The entire track can be fixed to the mounting base such as factory support, wall, and equipment beam by bolts passing through the mounting holes 22. It is suitable for fixing needs in various industrial scenarios. The installation points are evenly distributed, the track is fixed with balanced force, and it is not easy to tilt.

[0045] The snap-fit ​​assembly 6 includes a mounting base 61, which is fixedly installed on the bottom of the lower rail 3. The mounting base 61 has a sliding cavity 62 inside, and a toothed plate 65 is slidably connected inside the sliding cavity 62. A pull rod 63 is fixedly installed on one side of the toothed plate 65, and one end of the pull rod 63 extends to the side of the mounting base 61. A spring 64 is sleeved on the outer side of the pull rod 63 and is disposed inside the sliding cavity 62. A locking screw 66 is threadedly connected to the inside of the side of the mounting base 61.

[0046] In its normal state, the spring 64 continuously pushes the toothed plate 65 outward, keeping the toothed plate 65 locked inward; pulling the pull rod 63 compresses the spring 64, retracting the toothed plate 65 and releasing the locking limit with the guide rod 51; the locking screw 66 tightens the side of the guide rod 51.

[0047] The guide assembly 5 includes a guide rod 51, which is fixedly installed on the bottom of the top plate 1. A plurality of snap-fit ​​grooves 52 are provided on one side of the guide rod 51, and a scale 53 is fixedly installed on the other side of the guide rod 51.

[0048] The guide rod 51 is vertically fixed below the top plate, and multiple sets of equidistant locking slots 52 provide multiple height levels; the scale 53 intuitively displays the current lower rail height, and the operator can quickly and accurately adjust it according to the robot wheel size without repeated trial adjustments.

[0049] The toothed plate 65 is snapped into the side of the snap-fit ​​groove 52, and one end of the locking screw 66 abuts against the side of the guide rod 51.

[0050] The toothed plate 65 matches the tooth shape of the snap-fit ​​groove 52. After snapping in, it restricts the vertical displacement of the mounting base 61 and the lower rail 3, thereby achieving height lock. The locking screw 66 laterally tightens the guide rod 51, eliminating the small gap between the mounting base 61 and the guide rod 51 and improving the locking rigidity.

[0051] The outer side of the threaded rod 41 is threaded with a first nut 42, and the outer side of the threaded rod 41 is also threaded with a second nut 43.

[0052] The threaded rod 41 passes through the lower rail 3 and the mounting base 61. The first nut 42 presses against the upper surface of the lower rail 3, and the second nut 43 supports the bottom of the mounting base 61, forming a bidirectional clamping structure. Together with the snap-fit ​​component 6, it forms a double height locking, which greatly suppresses the height movement caused by vibration.

[0053] The bottom of the first nut 42 abuts against the top of the lower rail 3, and the top of the second nut 43 abuts against the bottom of the mounting base 61.

[0054] The working principle of the industrial robot inspection track with anti-derailment structure provided by this invention is as follows:

[0055] Track pre-installation and height adjustment process: The mounting plates 21 on both sides of the track top plate 1 are attached to the factory installation base surface. Bolts are passed through the mounting holes 22 to complete the foundation fixing of the entire track, ensuring the overall level of the track. The operator pulls the pull rod 63 outwards. The pull rod 63 drives the toothed plate 65 to compress the spring 64, causing the toothed plate 65 to disengage from the locking groove 52 of the guide rod 51, releasing the height lock of the lower rail 3. At this time, the lower rail 3 can slide freely up and down along the guide rod 51. Referring to the scale 53 on the side of the guide rod 51, the lower rail is slid up and down according to the diameter and height of the inspection robot's wheels to adjust the vertical limit gap between the top plate 1 and the lower rail 3. The gap should be slightly larger than the height of the wheels to ensure smooth wheel rolling. This restricts the upward space of the wheels, preventing derailment from the vertical direction. When the pull rod 63 is released, the spring 64 rebounds and pushes the toothed plate 65 to re-engage into the corresponding height of the locking groove 52, completing the first-level positioning. Then, the first nut 42 on the threaded rod 41 is tightened to press down the top of the lower rail 3 and the second nut 43 supports the bottom, clamping the lower rail 3 and the mounting base 61 in both directions. Finally, the locking screw 66 is tightened so that its end presses against the side wall of the guide rod 51, eliminating the gap between the mounting base 61 and the guide rod 51, completing the double anti-loosening locking. After the adjustment is completed, the top plate 1 and the lower rail 3 form an upper and lower wrap-around walking channel, and the robot's walking wheels are constrained between the two layers of structure, completely restricting vertical floating and up-and-down movement.

[0056] The principle of preventing derailment during robot inspection: The robot's wheels are placed on the upper surface of the lower rail 3, and the top plate 1 is located above the wheels to form an upper limit stop. The two vertical sides of the lower rail 3 form lateral limits, forming a three-dimensional constraint anti-derailment structure: When the equipment vibrates, accelerates rapidly, or brakes suddenly, the wheels tend to bounce upwards. The bottom of the top plate 1 directly prevents the wheels from floating, and the wheels cannot detach from the lower rail bearing surface. The track height can be matched with the wheel height in advance, leaving a very small upward float margin to prevent bouncing and derailment. The vertical sides of the lower rail 3 restrict the left and right deviation of the wheels. When the robot turns, the track slightly settles, or is subjected to lateral force, the wheels are blocked by the side walls and will not slide off the left or right sides of the track.

[0057] Compared with related technologies, the industrial robot inspection track with an anti-derailment structure provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0058] The top plate 1, mounting component 2, lower rail 3, locking component 4, guide component 5, and snap-fit ​​component 6 work together. The guide component 5 and snap-fit ​​component 6 work together to freely adjust the vertical limit height between the lower rail 3 and the top plate 1, which can accommodate the walking wheels of inspection robots of different sizes. The locking component 4 achieves double locking and fixation. The top plate 1 and the lower rail 3 form a two-way limit channel, which can limit the upward floating and lateral sliding of the wheel body, prevent the robot from derailing during operation, and solve the problems of traditional track limit not being adjustable, easy derailment, and poor inspection stability.

[0059] Second Embodiment

[0060] Please refer to the following: Figure 7 and Figure 8 Based on the first embodiment of this application, which provides an industrial robot inspection track with an anti-derailment structure, the second embodiment of this application proposes another industrial robot inspection track with an anti-derailment structure. The second embodiment is merely a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, and the implementation of the second embodiment will not affect the separate implementation of the first embodiment.

[0061] Specifically, the second embodiment of this application provides an industrial robot inspection track with an anti-derailment structure, wherein an insertion slot 7 is provided at one end of the top plate 1 and the lower rail 3, and an insertion plate 8 is fixedly installed at the other end of the top plate 1 and the lower rail 3.

[0062] The insertion slot 7 and the insertion plate 8 are compatible.

[0063] The working principle of the industrial robot inspection track with anti-derailment structure provided by this invention is as follows:

[0064] When the inspection route is long and a single track segment cannot meet the coverage requirements, two track segments are used. The insertion plate 8 of the first track segment is aligned with the insertion slot 7 of the second track segment and inserted horizontally to complete the synchronous connection of the top plate 1 and the lower rail 3. After connection, the guide rods 51 and the walking surfaces of the two track segments are smoothly connected without any height difference or misalignment. Multiple track segments can be sequentially inserted to create an inspection track of any length, allowing the robot to move stably across segments continuously.

[0065] Compared with related technologies, the industrial robot inspection track with an anti-derailment structure provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0066] By using the interlocking slots 7 and interlocking plates 8 to work together, the interlocking plate 8 of one section of track can be inserted into the interlocking slot 7 of another section of track to complete the splicing of multiple sections of track. After splicing, the running surfaces of the top plate 1 and the lower rail 3 remain flat and without misalignment. The total length of the track can be freely combined according to the length of the on-site inspection line, adapting to large-scale inspection scenarios in different factory areas and improving the flexibility of track laying.

[0067] Third Embodiment

[0068] Please refer to the following: Figure 9 Based on the first embodiment of this application, which provides an industrial robot inspection track with an anti-derailment structure, the third embodiment of this application proposes another industrial robot inspection track with an anti-derailment structure. The third embodiment is merely a preferred embodiment of the first embodiment, and the implementation of the second embodiment will not affect the separate implementation of the first embodiment.

[0069] Specifically, the difference in the third embodiment of this application regarding the industrial robot inspection track with an anti-derailment structure is that the lower rail 3 has multiple through slots 9 on both sides of its top.

[0070] The working principle of the industrial robot inspection track with anti-derailment structure provided by this invention is as follows:

[0071] During long-term inspections, dust and debris in the factory area will fall onto the lower rail 3. Conventional solid rails are prone to accumulating dust and jamming the wheels. In this embodiment, the through slots 9 on both sides of the lower rail 3 can automatically discharge debris and dust downwards, keeping the walking surface clean.

[0072] Compared with related technologies, the industrial robot inspection track with an anti-derailment structure provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0073] By cooperating with each other, the through slots 9 on both sides of the top of the lower rail 3 can promptly discharge falling dust and debris downwards, preventing debris from accumulating on the walking surface of the lower rail 3 and jamming the robot's wheels, ensuring that the inspection robot can continue to move smoothly along the track and reducing walking jamming faults caused by dust accumulation.

[0074] 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.
