Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of intelligent traffic facilities, in particular to a walking robot capable of being embedded in traffic cones. Background Art

[0002] Traffic cones are a type of road traffic isolation and warning facility, often used by road administration units for construction or traffic management departments for handling traffic accidents. If the traffic accident is large, and there are casualties or people unable to move, and there is no one nearby, traffic cones cannot be placed at the accident site, which can cause multiple traffic accidents. Although there are some robots on the market that can automatically place traffic cones, they all have some shortcomings.

[0003] For example, the Chinese invention patent application with publication number CN117364683A discloses a portable road traffic safety isolation cone robot. The traffic cone of this technical solution includes a cone body part and a base part. The base part of the traffic cone is connected to a scissor-type lifting structure, and then the scissor-type lifting structure is fixedly connected to a walking mechanism. The principle is: before moving, the base is driven to rise by the scissor-type lifting structure, so that the base is out of contact with the ground. Then, after the walking mechanism drives the traffic cone to move to a specified position, the scissor-type lifting structure drives the base to descend, so that the base of the traffic cone fits the ground again, and the base covers the walking mechanism to form protection.

[0004] The above-mentioned prior art has the following problems: the traffic cone and the traveling mechanism are fixedly connected by a scissor-type lifting structure, that is, the traffic cone, the traveling mechanism and the scissor-type lifting structure are not detachable. As a whole, when the traffic cone is used for a long time, its surface is damaged or aged. When replacing a new traffic cone, it is difficult to quickly separate the old traffic cone from the traveling mechanism and the scissor-type lifting structure, which brings unnecessary trouble to maintenance work. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a walking robot that can be embedded with traffic cones, so as to solve the technical problem raised by the above-mentioned background technology that the traffic cones and the walking mechanism and the scissor-type lifting structure of the traffic cone walking robot currently on the market are integrally connected and cannot be disassembled, resulting in the difficulty in disassembling and maintaining the traffic cones.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: a walking robot capable of embedding a traffic cone, comprising:

[0008] A lifting assembly disposed on the walking assembly and used to drive the traffic cone to rise and fall;

[0009] The lifting assembly is provided with at least one supporting component for supporting the inner wall of the traffic cone. When the traffic cone needs to be moved, the lifting assembly lifts up the traffic cone by raising the supporting component so that the base of the traffic cone is out of contact with the ground, so that the walking assembly can transport the traffic cone. When the traffic cone reaches a designated position or is in a non-moving normal state, the lifting assembly puts down the traffic cone by lowering the supporting component so that the base of the traffic cone is in contact with the ground again, and the lifting assembly and the walking assembly are completely stored inside the traffic cone and isolated from the outside world.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the walking assembly includes:

[0021] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the support component also includes:

[0022] Regarding the central array of the support plate, a plurality of expansion plates are arranged on the upper end of the support plate, the outer sides of the expansion plates are in contact with the inner walls of the traffic cones, and the expansion plates are provided with sliding grooves along their moving directions;

[0023] A fastener is arranged at the upper end of the support plate and in the slide groove, and the fastener is used to lock the expansion plate to limit the sliding of the expansion plate relative to the support plate.

[0024] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the supporting component further comprises: a limiting groove provided on the surface of the extension plate, and a limiting piece matching with the limiting groove is provided at the upper end of the support plate.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0034] See also Figure 1-Figure 5The utility model provides a technical solution: a walking robot capable of being embedded in a traffic cone, comprising: a walking component for driving the traffic cone to move, and a lifting component arranged on the walking component for driving the traffic cone to rise and fall; in this embodiment, the walking component comprises: a chassis 1 and a plurality of driving wheels 4 arranged at the bottom of the chassis 1; a driving motor 3 for driving the driving wheels 4 to rotate, the driving motor 3 being arranged at the bottom of the chassis 1; a battery 5 for continuously supplying power to the driving motor 3, the battery 5 being arranged at the upper end of the chassis 1; a control module 2 for controlling the operation of the walking component and the lifting component is arranged at the upper end of the chassis 1;

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting assembly is provided with at least one supporting component for supporting the inner wall of the traffic cone. In this embodiment, the lifting assembly comprises: an electric telescopic rod 6 whose base is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the chassis 1, and the output end of the electric telescopic rod 6 is connected to the supporting component;

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the supporting component includes: a support plate 7 that matches the shape of the inner wall of the traffic cone. Here, a conical traffic cone is taken as an example. Accordingly, the support plate 7 is a circular plate structure to adapt to the shape of the inner wall of the conical traffic cone. The bottom of the support plate 7 is connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 6; Figure 5 As shown, there are preferably two supporting members, and two corresponding support plates 7 are also provided;

[0037] The above technical solution can facilitate the transportation and disassembly of traffic cones. When in use, the bottom of the traffic cone to be used is aligned with the support plate 7 and buckled on its upper end to ensure that the outer side of the support plate 7 is fully in contact with the inner wall of the traffic cone. When transporting the traffic cone, the electric telescopic rod 6 drives the support plate 7 to rise, and lifts it from the inside of the traffic cone through the support plate 7, so that the base of the traffic cone is out of contact with the ground, until the walking component (driving wheel 4) is exposed from the base of the traffic cone, and the driving motor 3 drives the driving wheel 4 to rotate, so that the traffic cone reaches the specified position, and the electric telescopic rod 6 drives the support plate 7 to descend and reset, so as to put down the traffic cone, so that the base of the traffic cone is in contact with the ground again, and the lifting component and the walking component are completely stored in the inside of the traffic cone and isolated from the outside world. The advantage of having two supporting components is that the support stability of the traffic cone can be improved to prevent it from shaking;

[0038] When the traffic cone is aged or damaged and needs to be replaced, since the traffic cone is not directly connected to the support plate 7, the traffic cone can be directly removed from the support plate 7, which is conducive to replacing new traffic cones or maintaining the traffic cones. At the same time, since the robot is arranged as a whole inside the traffic cone, in the non-moving normal state, the traffic cone can completely cover the robot to prevent it from being affected by wind, rain and sun, which is conducive to increasing the service life of the robot. As a possible situation, in order to increase the friction coefficient between the driving wheel 4 and the ground, anti-skid grooves can be provided on the surface of the driving wheel 4 to improve the movement stability of the robot.

[0039] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting assembly further includes: a frame 9 disposed at the upper end of the chassis 1 and above the electric telescopic rod 6, the frame 9 being provided with a through slot 16 for the output shaft of the electric telescopic rod 6 to pass out or pass in; a sleeve 10 disposed on the frame 9; a guide rod 11 slidably matched with the sleeve 10, one end of the guide rod 11 being fixedly disposed at the bottom of the support plate 7, preferably two guide rods 11 are provided, and correspondingly, two sleeves 10 are also provided;

[0040] The adoption of the above technical solution can improve the lifting stability of the lifting assembly on the pallet 7. Since the guide rod 11 is provided, it can ensure that when the pallet 7 is lifted, the guide rod 11 can cooperate with the sleeve 10 to slide, thereby guiding the movement of the pallet 7 and preventing the pallet 7 from deflecting or shaking.

[0041] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the supporting component further includes: a plurality of expansion plates 8 arranged at the upper end of the support plate 7 in a central array with respect to the support plate 7, the outer side of the expansion plates 8 being in contact with the inner wall of the traffic cone, and each expansion plate 8 being provided with at least two slide grooves 12 along its movable direction; a fastener 13 arranged at the upper end of the support plate 7 and in the slide groove 12, the fastener 13 being used to lock the expansion plate 8 to limit the sliding of the expansion plate 8 relative to the support plate 7; in this embodiment, the fastener 13 is a bolt;

[0042] The above technical solution can be used to adjust the size of the supporting component according to traffic cones of different specifications. The fastener 13 set in the slide groove 12 on the surface of the expansion plate 8 is loosened to release the lock of the expansion plate 8, and the expansion plate 8 is pushed to slide along the slide groove 12, thereby increasing the radial size of the supporting component to meet the use requirements. After the expansion plate 8 reaches the required position, it stops and the fastener 13 is tightened to complete the adjustment. Next, the bottom of the traffic cone to be used is aligned with the support plate 7 and the expansion plate 8 and buckled on the upper ends of the two, and it is ensured that the outer side of the expansion plate 8 is fully in contact with the inner wall of the traffic cone.

[0043] Further, such as Figure 4As shown, the support component further includes: a limiting groove 14 opened on the surface of the expansion plate 8, and a limiting member 15 matching the limiting groove 14 is provided on the upper end of the support plate 7; in this embodiment, the limiting member 15 is a bolt;

[0044] The above technical solution can limit the minimum extension length of the expansion plate 8. The support surface radius formed by the expansion plate 8 shall not be less than the support radius of the support plate 7. When the expansion plate 8 retracts inward, it will stop until the limit groove 14 touches the limit member 15.

[0045] Working principle: When in use, firstly, the supporting component is adaptively adjusted according to the internal size of the traffic cone. The operation method is to loosen the fastener 13 set in the slide groove 12 on the surface of the expansion plate 8, release the lock of the expansion plate 8, and push the expansion plate 8 to slide along the slide groove 12, thereby increasing the radial size of the supporting component to meet the use requirements. After the expansion plate 8 reaches the required position, it stops, and the fastener 13 is tightened to complete the adjustment. Next, the bottom of the traffic cone to be used is aligned with the support plate 7 and the expansion plate 8 and buckled on the upper ends of the two, and ensure that the outer side of the expansion plate 8 is fully in contact with the inner wall of the traffic cone, and it is ready;

[0046] When the traffic cone needs to be transported, the electric telescopic rod 6 drives the support plate 7 and the expansion plate 8 to rise, and lifts the traffic cone from the inside through the support plate 7 and the expansion plate 8, so that the base of the traffic cone is out of contact with the ground, until the driving wheel 4 is exposed from the base of the traffic cone, and the driving motor 3 drives the driving wheel 4 to rotate, so that the traffic cone reaches the specified position, and the electric telescopic rod 6 drives the support plate 7 and the expansion plate 8 to descend and reset, so as to put down the traffic cone, so that the base of the traffic cone is in contact with the ground again, and the lifting assembly and the walking assembly are completely stored in the inside of the traffic cone and isolated from the outside world;

[0047] When the traffic cone is aged or damaged and needs to be replaced, since the traffic cone is not directly connected to the support plate 7 and the expansion plate 8, the traffic cone can be directly removed from the support plate 7 and the expansion plate 8, which is conducive to replacing new traffic cones or maintaining the traffic cones. At the same time, since the robot is arranged as a whole inside the traffic cone, in the non-moving normal state, the traffic cone can completely cover the robot to prevent it from being affected by wind, rain and sun, which is conducive to increasing the service life of the robot.

[0048] Thus, a series of tasks are completed, and the circuits, electronic components and modules involved are all existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art. Needless to say, the content protected by this utility model does not involve improvements to software and methods.

[0049] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention.
