[0027] In order to make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following will make a detailed description of the specific implementation manners of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0028] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to fully understand the present utility model. However, the present utility model can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations without departing from the connotation of the present utility model. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] Secondly, the so-called "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that can be included in at least one implementation manner of the present utility model. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment that mutually excludes other embodiments.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] Referring to Figures 1 to 2 , which is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides an obstacle avoidance device in the sump environment.

[0032] The dredging component 100 includes a protective shell 101, a base 102 connected to the bottom of the protective shell 101, a crawler wheel 103 connected to the base 102, a crawler 104 sleeved on the outer wall of the crawler wheel 103, and a baffle 105 connected to one side of the base 102. A control circuit board and other corresponding components are arranged in the protective shell 101. The control circuit board and other corresponding components are all general standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art. Their structures and principles can be known by technicians through technical manuals or obtained through conventional experimental methods. At the same time, the control circuit board is equipped with a corresponding remote control. At the same time, a motor is arranged in the base 102, and the motor is connected to a rotating shaft arranged on the crawler wheel 103.

[0033] In summary, when performing operations such as detecting, dredging, and path planning on the water collection channel of the sump well, the motor is controlled by a remote control to drive the three crawler wheels 103 to rotate, so that the robot moves. At this time, the detection component and cleaning component additionally arranged on the robot can be remotely controlled by the remote control to perform cleaning and detection work on the water collection pipeline.

[0034] Embodiment 2

[0035] Refer to Figures 1 to 5 , which is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The difference is that the connection component 200 includes a connection shell 201 connected to one side of the baffle 105, a motor 202 connected to the inner wall of the connection shell 201, and a limit wheel 205 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connection shell 201. A clamp is arranged outside the motor 202, and the bottom of the clamp is fixedly connected to the connection shell 201 through bolts.

[0036] The limit wheel 205 is connected to a support component 300. The support component 300 includes a support rod 301, a fixing frame 302 connected to one side of the support rod 301, a fixing ring 303 connected to one side of the fixing frame 302, and a connecting plate 305 connected to one side of the fixing ring 303. The output end of the motor 202 is connected to a pulley 203, a transmission belt 204 is sleeved on the outer wall of the pulley 203, and the other side of the transmission belt 204 is sleeved on the outer wall of the support rod 301. The fixing ring 303 is a double ring, and it is arranged on both sides of the support rod 301 with the fixing frame 302, and the components installed on the fixing rings 303 on both sides of the support rod 301 are the same.

[0037] The inner wall of the limit wheel 205 is connected to the outer wall of the support rod 301, and the outer wall of the support rod 301 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of one side of the connection shell 201. The limit wheel 205 is used to limit the movement of the support rod 301 and also provides a supporting force for the support rod 301.

[0038] In summary, the motor 202 can be driven to drive the pulley 203 to rotate, thereby driving the support rod 301 to rotate, so that the fixing ring 303 changes the rotation direction.

[0039] Embodiment 3

[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 7 , which is the third embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The difference is that a collection assembly 400 is provided on the outer side of the fixed ring 303. The collection assembly 400 includes a rotating wheel 401, a circular groove 402 opened at the top of the rotating wheel 401, and a collection groove 403 opened on one side of the rotating wheel 401. A guide rail 304 is installed on one side of the fixed ring 303. The outer wall of the guide rail 304 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the circular groove 402. When the fixed ring 303 is in the state as shown in Figure 3 , the rotating wheel 401 is horizontally placed at this time. When the robot turns and is about to touch the wall, the rotating wheel 401 will touch the wall or the stone in advance because it is arranged on both sides of the robot. In this way, the rotating wheel 401 is like the guide wheel of a four-wheel drive vehicle, changing the direction of the robot and preventing the robot from touching the wall or the stone;

[0041] The difference is that when the motor 202 drives the support rod 301 to rotate, the fixed ring 303 will be driven to rotate. At this time, the rotating wheel 401 will be perpendicular to the ground. At this time, the rotating wheel 401 will touch the ground, and when the robot moves forward, it will drive the rotating wheel 401 to roll. At this time, the collection groove 403 can collect the silt on the ground, so as to sample the soil in the water collection channel.

[0042] The connecting plate 305 is connected with a storage assembly 500. The storage assembly 500 includes a storage box 501 and a collection port 502 opened at the top of the storage box 501. A connecting column 504 is provided on one side of the storage box 501. The outer wall of the connecting column 504 is in contact with the inner wall of the connecting plate 305. A rotating plate 503 is rotatably connected to one side of the collection port 502. The area of the rotating plate 503 is larger than the area of the collection port 502. The cross-sectional shape of the collection port 502 is trapezoidal. When the rotating wheel 401 is perpendicular to the ground, the collection port 502 is located at the top of the storage box 501. At this time, the rotating plate 503 will be perpendicular to the ground due to gravity. When the collection groove 403 moves above the collection port 502, the soil inside will fall into the storage box 501 under the influence of gravity. When the rotating wheel 401 is horizontally placed, the rotating plate 503 is still perpendicular to the ground due to gravity. At this time, the rotating plate 503 can block the collection port 502 to prevent the soil from falling out of the storage box 501.

[0043] In summary, when the sampling work is not carried out, the rotating wheel 401 is placed horizontally. In this way, when the robot turns and is about to touch the wall, the rotating wheel 401 will act like the guide wheel of a four-wheel drive vehicle to change the direction of the robot and prevent the robot from touching the wall or stones. At the same time, when the sampling work needs to be carried out, when the support rod 301 is rotated by the motor 202, the rotating wheel 401 will be perpendicular to the ground. At this time, the rotating wheel 401 can touch the ground, so that when the robot moves forward, it can drive the rotating wheel 401 to roll, enabling the collection groove 403 to collect the soil on the ground, thereby sampling the soil in the water collection channel. When the collection groove 403 moves above the collection port 502, the soil inside will fall down into the storage box 501 due to gravity. When the rotating wheel 401 is placed horizontally, the rotating plate 503 is still perpendicular downward due to gravity. At this time, the rotating plate 503 can block the collection port 502, thus preventing the soil from falling out of the storage box 501.
