[0026] The rotating mechanism 3 includes a base plate 31, a first rotating shaft 32, a mounting plate 33 and a first motor. The base plate 31 is fixedly mounted on the first rotating shaft 32. The mounting plate 33 is mounted on the upper end of the electric push rod 2. The base plate 31 is mounted on the upper end of the mounting plate 33. The first motor is arranged in the middle of the mounting plate 33. The output end of the first motor is connected to the first rotating shaft 32 in a transmission manner to realize the rotation of the base plate 31 in a horizontal circumferential direction. The transmission connection adopts a gear transmission mode. The output torque of the first motor is transmitted to the base plate through the first rotating shaft through the gear transmission, thereby driving the base plate to rotate in a horizontal circumferential direction.

[0027] The quick release mechanism 4 includes a long bolt 41 and a short bolt 42. The bottom plate 31 is provided with a threaded hole. The long bolt 41 and the short bolt 42 both pass through the upper arm 5 in the vertical direction and are threadedly connected to the bottom plate 31.

[0028] The root joint mechanism 8 includes an upper connecting frame 81, a frame 82 and a pin 83. The upper end of the upper connecting frame 81 is hinged to the forearm 7 through the pin 83. The frame 82 is installed at the lower end of the upper connecting frame 81. A telescopic rod 84 is arranged inside the frame 82 in the vertical direction. The upper end of the telescopic rod 84 is connected to the top of the frame 82, and the lower end of the telescopic rod 84 is installed with a clamp 9.

[0029] The fixed electromagnet is an electromagnetic device adsorbed on the train carriage, usually used to adsorb, fix or manipulate magnetic materials. It consists of an electromagnetic coil and an iron core, which generates a magnetic field by energizing to attract nearby magnetic materials. The arm of this device is connected to the rotating mechanism by a quick release mechanism, which can be quickly released. When using the quick release function, you need to check whether the arm is installed and tightened after installing the robot arm assembly. If not, you need to disassemble it and reinstall it and tighten it. There are engravings on the quick release bolts. You need to install the short bolts first and then the long bolts. The mechanical gripper uses two motors to control the opening and closing action of the clamp and the rotation action of the clamp, respectively, and has multiple degrees of freedom. This device is portable. Since the construction workers need to work in groups of 1-2 people, the device needs to be easy to carry. This product shortens the length of the manipulator through a retractable electric push rod, and disassembles the arm of the manipulator through the quick release part, thereby reducing the difficulty of transporting the manipulator during transportation. When the gripper grabs foreign objects, the telescopic rod is used to push it, making the picking action of the gripper finger easier. In the design of foreign body gripping mechanism, each component can be split into fixed unit and movable unit for specific analysis and planning, so as to realize the compactness, portability, flexibility and safety and reliability of the flexible unit joint structure. In order to save space and ensure flexibility, the designed foreign body gripping mechanism adopts an integrated structure, integrating the driving components into the foreign body gripping mechanism of this equipment, guiding the gripper to pick up and improving flexibility. The rotation axis of the overall mechanism is consistent with the rotation axis of the mechanical gripper to avoid the problem of misalignment.

[0030] This implementation adopts remote control signal for control, and the frequency band is 2.4GHz, which is the signal propagation frequency band of the remote control and the controlled device. This transmission signal is a long wavelength signal. The advantage of this signal is its fast speed, which greatly improves the sensitivity of the equipment. The control system host computer adopts Delta PLC-PS02 and is equipped with a control expansion module to realize the overall control of the arm, arm, cleaning machine, servo motor, and pneumatic components, realize various functions and feedback the execution status of each component. Add a camera to the network connection: first plug in the network cable, and the network cable must be connected to the router connected to the mobile phone wifi. Power on the camera: add the camera on the mobile phone APP, select the local area network to search UID in the Camhi software, and add the camhipro software by selecting - network camera - connected devices - scan the QR code or search for nearby devices.

[0031] Further, the mobile phone wirelessly configures the camera: the camera is powered on; open the mobile phone wifi settings, search for IPCAM_XXXX hotspot, the hotspot password defaults to 01234567; open the APP, click "Add Camera", click LAN Search UID Search Device; select the camera UID number SSAM-380434-BAFAA, the initial password is admin, click to confirm, and the camera password must be changed before the first opening. How to use the remote control: Battery installation: Open the battery compartment cover, put 4 fully charged No. 5 batteries into the battery compartment, make sure the metal terminals on the battery are connected to the metal terminals in the battery compartment, and cover the battery compartment cover. Power on: Check the system status to make sure the battery is charged, and the receiver is not turned on and installed correctly. Make sure all switches and joysticks are in a safe position. Press and hold the two power buttons of the transmitter at the same time. When the transmitter display lights up, it means it is turned on. Connect the power supply to the receiver.

[0032] Further, binding: This transmitter and receiver have been successfully bound before leaving the factory. If you want to use other transmitters or receivers, bind them first. Turn on the transmitter power, select binding, the transmitter displays "binding", connect the binding line to the BIND / VCC interface on the receiver, and connect the power cord to any other interface on the receiver. After the binding is successful, the transmitter displays "Binding successful!" and automatically exits the binding interface. Remote control movement control method: The left joystick controls the jaws to open upward, controls the jaws to tighten downward, controls the device to lower to the left, and controls the device to raise to the right. The right joystick controls the jaws to move outward upward, controls the jaws to move inward downward, controls the arm to turn left to the left, controls the arm to turn right to the right, and controls the speed by the amplitude of the joystick.

[0033] Furthermore, when the gripper is opened and tightened, the sound of the motor changes, indicating that resistance is encountered when the gripper is opened or tightened. The power supply to the motor should be stopped in time, otherwise the motor will be damaged. Customized experimental components for cargo inspection auxiliary manipulators: wireless HDMI high-definition transmission technology is used to provide real-time feedback on the internal working conditions of the carriage, and a high-definition display screen is equipped to facilitate employees to better identify, analyze and make specific treatment measures. Intelligent high-end precision cameras and transmission equipment are developed, which integrate low power consumption, high stability and high on-site flexibility. The visual distance error compensation function is developed to ensure that the deviation is within an error range of 30mm or even lower. The self-developed wireless remote control multi-channel output control system greatly reduces the equipment failure rate, improves the flexibility of the equipment, and facilitates more efficient on-site construction for personnel. The control module with low power consumption and high integrated circuits is used to improve the reliability and convenience of the equipment.
