Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of underground detection, in particular to an intelligent robot for underground detection. Background Art

[0002] The underground area is relatively large, such as underground spaces such as mines and culverts. Culverts refer to water pipes buried underground, which can be used as waterways below the ground elevation. Culverts generally refer to circular culverts, which are culverts made of circular pipes made of reinforced concrete. Highways, railways, urban roads, urban underground pipelines, tunnels, bridges and other facilities are equipped with culverts, which not only serve as drainage, but also serve as maintenance channels for staff. During the construction and use of underground culverts, when it is necessary to inspect and test the underground culverts, semi-equipment and semi-manual inspection is generally adopted.

[0003] Existing technologies, such as patent publication number CN220228334U, disclose an intelligent three-dimensional detection robot for underground pipe culverts. In order to improve the convenience and safety of underground pipe culvert detection, a push mechanism is provided above the controller, and a light stand is fixedly connected below the controller. Lights are symmetrically provided on the outside of the light stand, and a camera bracket is fixedly connected below the light stand, and a camera probe is symmetrically provided on the back side of the camera bracket. The utility model replaces the traditional semi-equipment and semi-manual detection form. Through the push sliding of the push mechanism on the steel wire, under the illumination of the lighting lamp and the real-time camera of the camera probe, the underground pipe culvert can be autonomously and unmanned. It can not only reduce the operating intensity of the staff, but also reduce the detection risk of the staff, and avoid the toxic and irritating gases in the pipe culvert from damaging the health of the staff.

[0004] In actual use, the installation and laying of steel wire also requires financial and material resources. The steel wire is easily oxidized and damaged due to being washed by sewage and industrial wastewater for a long time. It is also easy for debris to hang on the steel wire, affecting the pushing and sliding of the pushing mechanism.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a new technical solution to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Utility Model Content

The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the utility model is an intelligent robot for underground detection, including a robot body 101, a detection component for detection, a support component 300 for supporting the robot body 101, a fixing component 200 for fixing the support component 300, and a moving component 400 for moving the robot; a fixing frame 102 is fixedly installed on the robot body 101, and a battery box 103 is fixedly installed at one end of the robot body 101.

[0024] The fixing assembly 200 includes two rotating rings 201, a connecting arc plate 108 is fixedly installed on the arc surface of one rotating ring 201, the connecting arc plate 108 is rotatably installed on the other rotating ring 201, the rotating ring 201 is rotatably installed on the fixing frame 102, the rotating ring 201 has a circular arc array with threaded holes 202, the top of the arc surface of the fixing frame 102 is symmetrically provided with threaded holes 202, and the threaded holes 202 are threaded with fixing bolts 203; the supporting assembly 300 includes two sleeves 301, the sleeves 301 are respectively fixedly installed on the rotating ring 201 and the connecting arc plate 108, a limiting rod 302 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the sleeve 301, and a damping spring 303 is installed around it, the damping spring 303 is fixedly installed between the bottom of the inner wall of the sleeve 301 and the sleeve rod 304, and the sleeve rod 304 is slidably installed between the inner wall of the sleeve 301 and the limiting rod 302.

[0025] In the present invention, the two sleeves 301 are fixed at a certain angle by the rotating ring 201 and the fixing bolts 203, so that the moving assembly 400 contacts the lower part of the arc surface on both sides of the inner wall of the culvert, avoiding contact with the position with more silt at the bottom of the inner wall of the culvert.

[0026] The detection assembly includes two fixed arc plates 104, and the fixed arc plates 104 are fixedly installed on the fixed frame 102. The fixed arc plates 104 and the outer wall of the sleeve 301 are fixedly installed with detection lights 105. A base 106 is fixedly installed at one end of the robot body 101, and cameras 107 are fixedly installed on the side and the other end of the base 106. The base 106 is hexagonal in shape, and the cameras 107 on the six sides of the base 106 shoot the inner wall of the culvert to avoid the occurrence of blind spots in shooting.

[0027] In the utility model, the damping spring 303 supports the pushing sleeve rod 304, so that when the robot passes through the uneven inner wall surface of the culvert, the stability of the image captured by the camera is not affected.

[0028] The moving assembly 400 includes a supporting shell 409, which is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the sleeve rod 304. A motor 401 is fixedly mounted inside the bottom of the sleeve rod 304. The motor 401 passes through the through hole at the top of the supporting shell 409. The driving shaft of the motor 401 is fixedly connected to the first bevel gear 402. The first bevel gear 402 and the second bevel gear 403 are meshed with each other. The second bevel gear 403 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 404. The rotating shaft 404 is horizontally rotatably mounted inside the supporting shell 409. Four first bevel gears 405 are fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 404. The first bevel gear 405 and the second bevel gear 406 are meshed with each other. The second bevel gear 406 is fixedly mounted on the connecting shaft 407. The connecting shaft 407 is rotatably mounted on the supporting shell. Moving wheels 408 are fixedly mounted on both ends of the connecting shaft 407 passing through the supporting shell. Sharp teeth are evenly arranged on the arc surface of the moving wheel 408 to increase the friction coefficient of the moving wheel 408 and prevent the moving wheel 408 from slipping.

[0029] In the utility model, the motor 401 drives four pairs of moving wheels 408 respectively through the cooperation of the first bevel gear 402, the second bevel gear 403, the rotating shaft 404, the first bevel gear 405, the second bevel gear 406 and the connecting shaft 407. Each pair of moving wheels 408 is relatively independent. The slippage of some moving wheels 408 does not affect the normal movement of other moving wheels 408, so that the robot can pass through complex moving environments.

[0030] Working principle: Rotate the rotating ring 201 to make the angle between the sleeve 301 suitable, screw the bolt into the threaded hole 202 on the rotating ring 201 and the fixing frame 102, start the motor 401, the driving shaft of the motor 401 drives the first bevel gear 402 to rotate, the first bevel gear 402 drives the rotating shaft 404 to rotate through the second bevel gear 403, the rotating shaft 404 drives the first bevel gear 405 to rotate, the first bevel gear 405 drives the connecting shaft 407 to rotate through the second bevel gear 406, the connecting shaft 407 drives the moving wheel 408 to rotate, and the moving wheel 408 drives the first bevel gear 405 to rotate. When 08 passes through the uneven inner wall of the culvert, the damping spring 303 is compressed or extended, so that the moving wheel 408 is always in contact with the inner wall of the culvert, while ensuring the stability of the camera 107. The sharp teeth on the moving wheel 408 reduce the possibility of the moving wheel 408 slipping on the mud. Multiple pairs of moving wheels 408 enable the robot to cope with complex conditions inside the culvert. The cameras 107 on the side and front of the base 106 cooperate to capture the interior of the culvert in all directions and avoid blind spots. The intelligent robot achieves the purpose of improving shooting stability and adapting to complex mobile environments.
