[0021] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a positioning device for a track inspection robot includes a patrol vehicle chassis 1, one side of the patrol vehicle chassis 1 is penetrated by an equipment base box 2, steel wheels 3 are arranged on the left and right sides of the patrol vehicle chassis 1, a positioning mechanism 7 is arranged inside the equipment base box 2, the positioning mechanism 7 performs magnetic attraction treatment on both sides of the track to prevent the robot from loosening during maintenance or loading and unloading, and a marking mechanism 11 is arranged inside the patrol vehicle chassis 1, the marking mechanism 11 moves left and right with the positioning mechanism 7, and then reminds or alarms the surrounding personnel, ensuring the flexibility of the robot during the inspection process.
[0023] In this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 7 includes a power supply box 4, a side guide tube 6, a reset spring column 8, an electromagnetic suction cup 9 and a transverse guide rod 10. The power supply box 4 is arranged directly below the equipment base box 2. Side guide tubes 6 are arranged on the left and right sides of the power supply box 4. One end of the reset spring column 8 is welded inside the side guide tube 6. The other end of the reset spring column 8 is connected to the electromagnetic suction cup 9. The outer side of the electromagnetic suction cup 9 is penetrated by a transverse guide rod 10. The equipment is positioned and guided by the transverse guide rod 10 to avoid the equipment from being offset during the retraction process.
[0024] In this embodiment, the power supply box 4 is connected to the chassis 1 of the patrol vehicle through the equipment base box 2 arranged at the top. The equipment is positioned through the power supply box 4, which facilitates the separation and power supply processing of the equipment.
[0025] In this embodiment, the marking mechanism 11 includes an acoustic and light buzzer 12, a GPS positioning module 13, a positioning substrate 14, a side sealing curtain 15 and a fastener 16. The acoustic and light buzzer 12 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the positioning substrate 14. The middle of the positioning substrate 14 is penetrated by the GPS positioning module 13, and the other side of the positioning substrate 14 is penetrated by the fastener 16. The top of the side sealing curtain 15 is hingedly connected to the two sides of the inspection vehicle chassis 1. The two sides of the inspection vehicle chassis 1 are isolated by the side sealing curtain 15 that is penetrated to prevent rainwater from penetrating into the interior of the inspection vehicle chassis 1.
[0026] In this embodiment, the positioning substrate 14 is connected to one side of the electromagnetic chuck 9 via a fastener 16 provided on one side. The fastener 16 is used to position one side of the positioning substrate 14, so as to facilitate the adjustment and control of the equipment.
[0027] In this embodiment, a railway track 5 is provided directly below the steel wheel 3 , and the inspection vehicle chassis 1 is guided and positioned by the railway track 5 .
[0028] The actual application of this rail inspection robot positioning device includes the following work contents:
[0029] Step 1: The operator sets the chassis 1 of the inspection vehicle at the top of the railway track 5, drives the chassis 1 of the inspection vehicle to move on the surface of the railway track 5 through the steel wheel 3, and adjusts the position of the chassis 1 of the inspection vehicle and the sound and light buzzer 12. When it is necessary to position the chassis 1 of the inspection vehicle, the operator can open the electromagnetic suction cup 9, and use the electromagnetic suction cup 9 to adsorb one side of the railway track 5 to prevent the chassis 1 of the inspection vehicle from being displaced. When the electromagnetic suction cup 9 moves outward, the reset spring column 8 moves inside the side guide tube 6;
[0030] Step 2: Align one side of the electromagnetic chuck 9 with one side of the positioning substrate 14 at the same time, install the fastener 16 at the positioning connection between the electromagnetic chuck 9 and the positioning substrate 14, and when the electromagnetic chuck 9 is moving, the positioning substrate 14 moves inside the chassis 1 of the patrol vehicle, so that the sound and light buzzer 12 and the GPS positioning module 13 arranged on the surface of the positioning substrate 14 pass through the side sealing curtain 15, so that the sound and light buzzer 12 and the GPS positioning module 13 move out of the chassis 1 of the patrol vehicle;
[0031] Step 3: When the electromagnetic suction cup 9 is powered by the equipment base box 2, the sound and light buzzer 12 and the GPS positioning module 13 are used to provide power at the same time. The sound and light buzzer 12 and the GPS positioning module 13 remind and warn both sides of the chassis 1 of the patrol vehicle to prevent the mechanical arm on the surface of the chassis 1 from repairing and dismantling the railway. The surrounding workers are unable to observe the chassis 1 of the patrol vehicle in time. At the same time, the GPS positioning module 13 is used to mark the position of the chassis 1 of the patrol vehicle to prevent the equipment from being suddenly damaged and unable to be retrieved in time.
[0032] Therefore, the embodiments disclosed above are only illustrative in all aspects and are not exclusive. All changes within the scope of the present invention or within the scope equivalent to the present invention are included in the present invention.
