Technical Field

[0001] The present application generally relates to an automatic mouse guard, and more particularly to an automatic mouse guard for a power distribution room inspection robot. Background Art

[0002] At the entrance of industrial sites, such as power distribution rooms, rat guards are often installed to prevent rats and other animals from entering the site, thereby preventing rats and other animals from damaging items in the workplace, such as cables. Common rat guards have a simple structure and obvious effects, and are widely used in enterprises. As the "power" center, the safe and stable operation of the power distribution room (room) of the factory is the most important. In daily work, staff often regularly inspect and record various instruments in the power distribution room (room). With the development of economy and technology, problems such as "labor shortage", "difficulty in hiring" and "expensive labor" have become prominent, and the demand for unmanned, automated and intelligent factories has become increasingly obvious. The traditional rat guard is a "stumbling block" for unmanned factories, blocking intelligent equipment such as inspection vehicles from entering the work area to work.

[0003] The rat guards in the prior art usually include the following types: 1) Rolling door type. This type of rat guard has high requirements on the floor height of the room, has a complex structure, takes a long time to lift the rat guard when the inspection vehicle passes, is expensive, difficult to install, and has the risk of falling objects from high altitude. 2) Translation type. This type of rat guard requires a large space in the direction of the door closing plane, increases the wall thickness, and cannot be used when the site conditions do not meet the requirements.

[0004] Generally speaking, the existing mouse guards are mostly mechanically installed, and the mouse guards are manually installed in a predetermined slot. When workers pass through, they often raise their legs to step over. However, the inspection robot cannot pass through such a mouse guard and cannot perform automated operations. Utility Model Content

[0005] The traditional mouse guard cannot solve the problem of factory automation and unmanned operation. This application proposes an automatic mouse guard for a patrol robot, which can automatically open and close the door when the patrol robot passes through the mouse guard.

[0006] The present application provides an automatic mouse barrier for an inspection robot, the automatic mouse barrier comprising:

[0008] The door hinge is used to support the rat guard door body and enable the rat guard door body to pivot around the door hinge;

[0009] The electric door opener and closer is used to drive the rat guard door body to pivot so that the rat guard door body can be switched between an open position and a closed position;

[0010] Electromagnetic closer, used to lock the mouse guard door;

[0011] A wireless identification device is used to identify whether there is an inspection vehicle to be passed through the rat guard door body, and when it is identified that there is an inspection vehicle to be passed through the rat guard door body, the electromagnetic suction device is triggered to release the rat guard door body, and the electric door opener and closer is triggered to drive the rat guard door body to pivot to the open position;

[0012] The ultrasonic sensor is used to send out a signal when a worker approaches the mouse guard door body, thereby prohibiting the electric door opener and closer and the electromagnetic absorber from operating.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present application, when the wireless identification device recognizes that the inspection vehicle has passed through the mouse guard door, it triggers the electric door opener to drive the mouse guard door to pivot to the closed position and triggers the magnetic closer to lock the mouse guard door.

[0014] In one embodiment of the present application, the wireless identification device is an RFID card reader for reading RFID card information on the inspection vehicle.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present application, when the inspection vehicle moves close to the RFID card reader, the RFID card reader reads the RFID card information on the inspection vehicle, triggers the electromagnetic suction device to release the mouse guard door, and triggers the electric door closer to drive the mouse guard door to pivot to an open position for the inspection vehicle to pass.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present application, after the inspection vehicle leaves the reading range of the RFID reader, the electric door opener and closer is triggered to drive the mouse guard door body to pivot to the closed position, and the electromagnetic closer is triggered to lock the mouse guard door body.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present application, the wireless identification device is a wireless command receiver, which is used to receive the command of opening and closing the mouse guard door through a network.

[0018] In one embodiment of the present application, when the inspection vehicle moves close to the rat guard door, it sends a door opening request to the wireless command receiver, triggering the electromagnetic suction device to release the rat guard door, and triggering the electric door closer to drive the rat guard door to pivot to the open position for the inspection vehicle to pass.

[0019] In one embodiment of the present application, after the inspection vehicle passes through and moves away from the rat guard door body, it sends a door closing request to the wireless command receiver, triggering the electric door opener and closer to drive the rat guard door body to pivot to the closed position, triggering the electromagnetic closer to lock the rat guard door body.

[0020] In one embodiment according to the present application, the automatic mouse guard further comprises a door switch for allowing a staff member to manually open and close the mouse guard door.

[0021] In one embodiment of the present application, after the door switch is pressed for a period of time, the mouse guard door is closed by the electric door opener and closer, and the mouse guard door is locked by the electromagnetic closer.

[0022] When the inspection robot needs to pass, the present application proposes that the mouse guard can be automatically opened and closed, and can prevent rats and other animals from entering the working area. The mouse guard provided by the present application has a simple structure, low cost, and is easy to install, and both staff and inspection robots can pass through it very conveniently. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0023] The following will further explain the above characteristics, technical features, advantages and implementation methods of the present application in a clear and understandable manner through the description of the preferred embodiments and in combination with the accompanying drawings. The following drawings are only intended to illustrate and explain the present application, and do not limit the scope of the present application. Among them:

[0024] Figure 1 A schematic structural diagram of an automatic mouse guard provided in one embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The embodiments and features of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The same mechanisms in the drawings are not marked repeatedly. The same mechanisms in the drawings are marked with the same reference numerals.

[0026] The present application provides an automatic mouse guard for an inspection robot, which uses a wireless identification device to identify whether there is an inspection vehicle to be passed through the mouse guard door body, and when it is identified that there is an inspection vehicle to be passed through the mouse guard door body, the electromagnetic suction device is triggered to release the mouse guard door body, and the electric door opener and closer is triggered to drive the mouse guard door body to pivot to an open position. When the wireless identification device identifies that the inspection vehicle has passed through the mouse guard door body, the electric door opener and closer is triggered to drive the mouse guard door body to pivot to a closed position and the magnetic suction device is triggered to lock the mouse guard door body.

[0027] The structure of the automatic mouse block for the inspection robot provided by one embodiment of the present application is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0028] The rat-blocking door body 1 is used to prevent rats and other animals from entering the workplace;

[0029] The door hinge 2 is used to support the rat guard door body 1 and enable the rat guard door body 1 to pivot around the door hinge 2;

[0030] The electric door opener and closer 3 is used to drive the mouse guard door body 1 to pivot so that the mouse guard door body 1 can be switched between an open position and a closed position;

[0031] An electromagnetic closer 4 is used to lock the mouse guard door 1;

[0032] RFID card reader 5, used to read the RFID card information on the inspection vehicle;

[0033] Ultrasonic sensor 8, when the staff approaches the mouse guard door body 1, the ultrasonic sensor 8 sends a signal to prohibit the electric door opener 3 and the electromagnetic suction device 4 from operating;

[0034] The door switch 7 (optional, when not selected, the staff can only step over it) is used for the staff to manually open and close the mouse guard door 1.

[0035] With the automatic mouse guard provided in this embodiment, the inspection vehicle can pass through the mouse guard by RFID. When the inspection vehicle moves close to the RFID card reader, the RFID card reader 5 reads the RFID card information on the inspection vehicle, and the electromagnetic suction device 4 releases the mouse guard door body 1, and the electric door closer 3 drives the mouse guard door body 1 to pivot to the open position for the inspection vehicle to pass. After the inspection vehicle leaves the reading range of the RFID card reader 5, the electric door closer 3 drives the mouse guard door body 1 to pivot to the closed position, and the electromagnetic suction device 4 locks the mouse guard door body 1.

[0036] For the staff, the mouse guard door 1 can be opened by pressing the door switch 7, so that the staff can pass through. After a certain delay (for example, 3 seconds, the time can be adjusted), the mouse guard door 1 is closed by the electric door opener 3, and the electromagnetic suction device 4 locks the mouse guard door 1.

[0037] The staff can also directly cross the rat guard door body 1 to pass through. In the process of crossing the rat guard door body 1, the ultrasonic sensor 8 ensures the safety of the staff: that is, when the staff approaches the rat guard door body 1, the ultrasonic sensor is triggered; the ultrasonic wave sends a signal to prohibit the electric door opener 3 and the electromagnetic suction device 4 from operating.

[0038] In another embodiment of the present application, the RFID reader 5 may also be other types of wireless identification devices, such as a wireless command receiver 6. In this embodiment, the wireless command receiver 6 receives the command to open and close the mouse guard door 1 via a network. When the inspection vehicle moves closer to the mouse guard door 1, it sends a door opening request to the wireless command receiver 6, the electromagnetic suction device 4 releases the mouse guard door 1, and the electric door closer 3 drives the mouse guard door 1 to pivot to an open position for the inspection vehicle to pass. After the inspection vehicle passes and moves away from the mouse guard door, it sends a door closing request to the wireless command receiver 6, triggering the electric door opener and closer 3 to drive the mouse guard door 1 to pivot to a closed position, triggering the electromagnetic suction device 4 to lock the mouse guard door 1.

[0039] It should be understood that although this specification is described according to various embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.

[0040] The above description is only an illustrative embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the scope of the present application. Any equivalent changes, modifications and combinations made by any technician in the field without departing from the concept and principle of the present application shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
