[0019] The technical solution of the utility model is further described in detail below through specific implementation methods.
[0020] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a guide rail device for an underwater robot includes a guide rail assembly 1, a guide wheel 2, a guide seat 3 and a mother pipe jacket 4.
[0021] The guide rail assembly 1 includes a guide rail seat lining 11 fixed to the inner wall of the water chamber, a guide rail seat 12 installed on the guide rail seat lining 11, and a guide rail 13 installed on the guide rail seat 12. The guide rail 13 is formed by two angle steels fitted back to back, and the guide rail 13 is locked and fixed to the guide rail seat 12 by bolts 14.
[0022] The guide wheel 2 is in rolling cooperation with the guide rail 13, and the guide wheel 2 is in rolling cooperation with the guide seat 3 via the guide wheel shaft 21. Specifically, the inner core of the guide wheel 2 is provided with a copper sleeve, which plays a major sliding role, and the guide wheel shaft 21 and the guide seat 3 are fixed.
[0023] Specifically, the guide seat 3 includes a fork-shaped main base 31, a movable base 32, a movable column head 33, a spring 34 and a top screw 35. The fork handle area of the fork-shaped main base 31 is provided with an axial through hole 36. The inner end fork of the fork-shaped main base 31 is used to install the guide wheel shaft. The axial through hole 36 is sequentially installed with a top screw 35, a spring 34, a movable column head 33 and a movable base 32 from the outer end to the inner end. The top screw 35 is fixed to the outer end of the axial through hole 36. The movable column head 33 is movably installed in the axial through hole 36. The spring 34 is connected between the movable column head 33 and the top screw 35. The movable base 32 is installed at the inner end of the movable column head 33. The movable base 32 is forked and the forked area is fixed to the guide wheel shaft 21. The inner end forked area of the forked main base 31 is provided with a limiting hole 37 corresponding to the guide wheel shaft 21.
[0024] The guide seat 32 and the guide wheel 2 are provided in two sets and are symmetrically distributed. The mother pipe jacket 4 includes semi-annular clamps respectively arranged on the upper ends of the two guide seats 3. The two semi-annular clamps are arranged opposite to each other and are locked and fixed by bolts 41. The area between the mother pipe jackets 4 is used to clamp the mother pipe 5.
[0025] One end of the semi-annular clamp is tightened and fixed by the bolt 41, and the inner side of the other end is filled with a guide positioning pin embedding groove 42, which is used to fill the guide positioning pin 43. The guide seat 3 is integrally arranged with the half on the same side of the mother pipe jacket 4.
[0026] Working principle:
[0027] The guide rail assembly 1 is installed on the inner wall 6 of the water chamber, and the mother pipe 5 of the underwater robot is clamped inside the mother pipe jacket 4. As the robot moves, the mother pipe is driven to move, and the mother pipe needs to be supported by the guide rail to maintain stability.
[0028] The path of movement depends on the specific direction of the guide rail 13. During the movement, if there are bumps or other situations, under the action of the spring 34 and the movable column head 33, the distance between the entire mother tube and the guide rail has a certain elastic adaptability, and finally the stability of the mother tube movement is achieved.
[0029] 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 the relevant field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the utility model can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit of the technical solution of the utility model, which should be included in the scope of the technical solution for protection of the utility model.
