[0026] Embodiment 1
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model provides a detection robot with a defogger function, comprising a robot body 1, an adjustment component 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the robot body 1, and a camera 3 is installed at one end of the adjustment component 2.
[0028] Among them, the adjustment component 2 includes a long bracket 21, which is fixedly connected to the robot body 1, and a servo 22 is fixedly installed above the long bracket 21. The servo 22 is connected to the first motor 24 through the support seat 23, and the shaft end of the first motor 24 is connected to the second motor 26 through the first L-shaped bracket 25, and the shaft end of the second motor 26 is connected to the camera 3 through the second L-shaped bracket 27. Driven by the first motor 24 and the second motor 26, the longitudinal and lateral adjustments of the camera 3 can be achieved, thereby meeting the camera 3 to perform detection operations in multiple situations. The camera 3 can perform environmental detection operations through the lens, and the camera 3 can perform patrol inspection operations in conjunction with the robot body 1 to increase the detection distance.
[0029] The camera 3 is installed in the shell 4, and a detection window 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the shell 4. The camera 3 is built into the shell 4, so that the shell 4 can protect the camera 3. Secondly, the detection window 5 has good transparency, thereby preventing the detection window 5 from blocking the detection line of sight of the camera 3, and the detection window 5 can prevent the lens of the camera 3 from being exposed to the outside, thereby protecting the camera 3.
[0030] A support assembly 8 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the housing 4 , and the support assembly 8 includes a support bar 81 , a support rod 82 and a connecting rod 83 .
[0031] The bottom of the support rod 82 is fixedly connected to the top of the support bar 81 , and the top of the support rod 82 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell 4 , which can provide a fixing effect for the entire support assembly 8 .
[0032] The upper left side of the support bar 81 is fixedly connected to the electric push rod 12, and the upper right side of the support bar 81 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 83. The top of the connecting rod 83 penetrates into the cylinder 9 located above the support bar 81, and the piston 10 is arranged inside the cylinder 9. The top of the connecting rod 83 is connected to the bottom of the piston 10.
[0033] The top of the electric push rod 12 is fixedly connected to the cleaning assembly 6, and the other end of the cleaning assembly 6 is connected to the first one-way valve 7, which is connected to the top of the cylinder 9. The second one-way valve 11 is installed on the other side of the top of the cylinder 9. The extension and contraction of the electric push rod 12 can control the movement of the cleaning assembly 6. When the electric push rod 12 is retracted, the cleaning assembly 6 can move downward to clean or defog the inspection window 5, and at the same time drive the piston 10 to move toward the top of the cylinder 9 accordingly. The air inside the cylinder 9 is compressed, and the second one-way valve 11 is unidirectional and cannot be exhausted to the outside, so that all the air inside the cylinder 9 is discharged from the cleaning assembly 6 through the first one-way valve 7, providing airflow for the cleaning assembly 6 to assist in removing dust. When the electric push rod 12 is extended, the cleaning component 6 can move upward, so that the cleaning component 6 can clean or defog the inspection window 5 again, and at the same time drive the piston 10 to move toward the bottom of the cylinder 9, so that negative pressure is formed inside the cylinder 9. Since the first one-way valve 7 can only exhaust in one direction, it can prevent gas reflux and impurities from entering the cylinder 9, so that air can only enter the cylinder 9 from the second one-way valve 11, thereby achieving the purpose of air intake and preparing for providing airflow to the cleaning component 6 next time.
[0034] The cleaning assembly 6 includes a diverter shell 62, one end of the diverter shell 62 is fixedly connected to the electric push rod 12, and the other end of the diverter shell 62 is connected to the first one-way valve 7. A plurality of air outlets 63 are provided on the inner side of the diverter shell 62, so that the airflow provided by the cylinder 9 can cover the entire detection window 5 to ensure the cleaning effect of the entire detection window 5.
[0035] A cleaning strip 61 is installed above the diverter shell 62 . The width of the cleaning strip 61 is greater than the width of the diverter shell 62 , so that the cleaning strip 61 can contact the detection window 5 during movement, thereby allowing the cleaning strip 61 to smoothly clean the detection window 5 .
[0036] Velcro 64 is provided between the diversion shell 62 and the cleaning strip 61. The two Velcro 64 are bonded and fixed to each other to fix the cleaning strip 61 and prevent the cleaning strip 61 from falling off. The use of Velcro 64 facilitates the disassembly of the cleaning strip 61, thereby facilitating the replacement or cleaning of the cleaning strip 61.
[0037] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: when conducting an inspection, the robot body 1 can cooperate with the camera 3 to conduct an inspection and patrol operation, and can also realize longitudinal and lateral adjustment of the camera 3 for inspection through the first motor 24 and the second motor 26 respectively cooperating with the first L-shaped bracket 25 and the second L-shaped bracket 27. When defogging or dust removal is required, the electric push rod 12 is controlled to contract, so that the electric push rod 12 drives the diverter shell 62 to move downward, and the diverter shell 62 drives the cylinder 9 to move downward, so that the piston 10 discharges the gas into the diverter shell 62 through the first one-way valve 7, and discharges it through the gas outlet 63, so that the air flow is blown to the inspection window 5 for cleaning, and at the same time, the cleaning strip 61 moves downward to wipe the inspection window 5, so that the inspection window 5 can be defogged and cleaned. After the electric push rod 12 is fully retracted, it is extended again, so that the electric push rod 12 drives the diverter shell 62 to move upward, and the diverter shell 62 drives the cylinder 9 to move upward, so that the outside air enters the cylinder 9 through the second one-way valve 11, preparing for the next exhaust. At the same time, the cleaning strip 61 moves upward to wipe the inspection window 5 again, and the inspection window 5 is defogged and cleaned again.
[0038] Therefore, the utility model adopts the above-mentioned detection robot with defog function, which can effectively solve the problem that when detecting scenes with a lot of dust or sudden large temperature changes, the camera surface is blocked by dust or fogged, which affects the shooting effect of the detection robot at the detection location.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify or replace the technical solution of the utility model with equivalents, and these modifications or equivalent replacements cannot cause the modified technical solution to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the utility model.
