Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of inspection equipment, and particularly relates to an orbital inspection robot. Background Art

[0002] An inspection robot is an intelligent device specially used for automatically inspecting a specific area. When the current inspection robot conducts inspections on a double-rail track, it has the drawback that it cannot be adjusted according to the distance between the two tracks. This is mainly because its mechanical structure design is usually relatively fixed and lacks flexible adjustable components. In practical applications, the distances between double-rail tracks in different places may vary, and the inspection robot cannot adapt to such changes. The conventional coping method is to customize inspection robots of different specifications for different track distances, but this method has obvious drawbacks. First of all, customization increases the production cost. Each specification of the robot needs to be designed and manufactured separately, which improves the R & D and manufacturing costs. Secondly, the maintenance and management of robots of different specifications are also more complex. Different accessories and maintenance plans need to be prepared, which increases the maintenance difficulty and cost. Therefore, a new structure is needed to solve the above technical problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] Aiming at the deficiencies existing in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide an orbital inspection robot to solve the problems put forward in the above background art.

[0004] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions: An orbital inspection robot, comprising: a bottom plate, a moving component, and an inspection component. Two moving components are symmetrically installed on the left and right surfaces of the bottom plate respectively, and an inspection component is installed on the upper surface of the bottom plate. The moving component includes: an electric push rod, a fixed rod, a fixing plate, a motor, a first roller, and a second roller. A fixed rod is installed on the outer surface of the electric push rod, a fixing plate is installed at the end of the fixed rod away from the electric push rod, a second roller is rotatably installed on the inner surface of the fixing plate through a motor. The inspection component includes: a mounting plate, a rotating plate, a cross plate, and an inspection camera. The rotating plate is rotatably installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate through a rotating motor, a cross plate is installed on the front surface of the rotating plate, and an inspection camera is installed on the lower surface of the cross plate.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment, two electric push rods are symmetrically installed on the left and right surfaces of the bottom plate respectively. A fixed rod is installed on the front side of the outer surfaces of the two electric push rods on the front side of the bottom plate, and a fixed rod is installed on the rear side of the two electric push rods on the rear side of the bottom plate. The fixing plate is installed at the outer ends of the fixed rods. When in use, the electric push rods enable the robot to be flexibly adjusted according to the widths of different tracks. When encountering a wider track, the electric push rods can extend, pushing the fixed rods and the fixing plate to move outwards, so as to increase the distance between the second rollers, so as to adapt to a wider track. Similarly, when the track is narrower, the electric push rods contract to reduce the distance between the second rollers, ensuring that the robot can operate stably on tracks of different sizes.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, a first roller is rotatably installed on the inner surface of the fixing plate, a motor is installed on the outer surface of the fixing plate, the output shaft of the motor penetrates the fixing plate, and a second roller is rotatably installed on the inner surface of the fixing plate through the output shaft of the motor. The second roller is arranged parallel to the first roller.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, a mounting plate is installed on the upper surface of the bottom plate, a rotating plate is rotatably installed at the center position of the upper surface of the mounting plate through a rotating motor, a cross plate is installed at the upper edge of the front surface of the rotating plate, and an inspection camera is installed at the center position of the lower surface of the cross plate. When in use, the rotating motor drives the rotating plate to rotate, so that the inspection camera installed on the cross plate can realize multi-angle rotation in the horizontal direction. In this way, during the inspection process, the inspection camera can flexibly adjust the shooting angle according to different inspection requirements, comprehensively cover the inspection area, and avoid the occurrence of inspection dead angles.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the detection end of the inspection camera faces the front end, a power supply component and a control module are installed on the lower surface of the bottom plate, the four electric push rods are connected in series, and the moving component and the inspection component are both electrically connected to the power supply component and the control module through wires.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the four moving components are arranged on the outer surface of the track, and the structure of the track matches the rolling grooves of the first roller and the second roller of the moving component.

[0010] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: By setting the moving components, two moving components are symmetrically installed on the left and right surfaces of the bottom plate respectively. The moving components include: an electric push rod, a fixed rod, a fixing plate, a motor, a first roller and a second roller. A fixed rod is installed on the outer surface of the electric push rod, and a fixing plate is installed at the end of the fixed rod away from the electric push rod. A second roller is rotatably installed on the inner surface of the fixing plate through the motor. When in use, the setting of the electric push rod enables the robot to flexibly adjust according to the width of different tracks. When encountering a wider track, the electric push rod can extend, pushing the fixed rod and the fixing plate to move outward, so as to increase the distance between the second rollers to adapt to a wider track. Similarly, when the track is narrower, the electric push rod contracts to reduce the distance between the second rollers, ensuring that the robot can stably operate on tracks of different sizes.

The inspection component includes: a mounting plate, a rotating plate, a cross plate and an inspection camera. The rotating plate is rotatably installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate through a rotating motor. A cross plate is installed on the front surface of the rotating plate, and an inspection camera is installed on the lower surface of the cross plate. When in use, the rotating motor drives the rotating plate to rotate, so that the inspection camera installed on the cross plate can realize multi-angle rotation in the horizontal direction. In this way, during the inspection process, the inspection camera can flexibly adjust the shooting angle according to different inspection requirements, comprehensively cover the inspection area, and avoid the occurrence of inspection dead angles.

[0019] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0020] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the present invention provides a technical solution: an orbital inspection robot, including: a bottom plate 100, a moving component 200, and an inspection component 300. Two moving components 200 are symmetrically installed on the left and right surfaces of the bottom plate 100 respectively, and an inspection component 300 is installed on the upper surface of the bottom plate 100. The moving component 200 includes: an electric push rod 210, a fixed rod 220, a fixed plate 230, a motor 240, a roller 1 250, and a roller 2 260. A fixed rod 220 is installed on the outer surface of the electric push rod 210, a fixed plate 230 is installed at the end of the fixed rod 220 away from the electric push rod 210, and a roller 2 260 is rotatably installed on the inner surface of the fixed plate 230 through the motor 240. The inspection component 300 includes: a mounting plate 310, a rotating plate 320, a horizontal plate 330, and an inspection camera 340. The rotating plate 320 is rotatably installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 310 through a rotating motor, a horizontal plate 330 is installed on the front surface of the rotating plate 320, and an inspection camera 340 is installed on the lower surface of the horizontal plate 330.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , as the first embodiment of the present invention: Two electric push rods 210 are symmetrically installed on the left and right surfaces of the bottom plate 100 respectively. A fixed rod 220 is installed on the front side of the outer surfaces of the two electric push rods 210 on the front side of the bottom plate 100, and a fixed rod 220 is installed on the rear side of the two electric push rods 210 on the rear side of the bottom plate 100. The fixed plate 230 is installed at the outer end of the fixed rod 220;

[0022] A roller one 250 is rotatably installed on the inner surface of the fixed plate 230. A motor 240 is installed on the outer surface of the fixed plate 230. The output shaft of the motor 240 penetrates through the fixed plate 230. A roller two 260 is rotatably installed on the inner surface of the fixed plate 230 through the output shaft of the motor 240. The roller two 260 is arranged in parallel with the roller one 250.

[0023] When inspection is required (this device is applicable to two parallel tracks and is not applicable to a single track. Users can choose according to the actual situation), the user first measures the distance between the two tracks. Then the user can synchronously start the electric push rod 210 at this time, so that the electric push rod 210 drives the two moving components 200 to move away from each other, increasing the distance between the moving components 200 through the electric push rod 210 until the distance between the moving components 200 matches the measured distance. After matching, the user can place the rolling grooves of the roller one 250 and the roller two 260 of the moving component 200 on the left side surface of the base plate 100 on the outer surface of the left track, and then place the rolling grooves of the roller one 250 and the roller two 260 of the moving component 200 on the right side surface on the outer surface of the right track in the same way. When the placement is completed, the user can synchronously start the motors 240 inside the four moving components 200, so that the output shafts of the motors 240 drive the rotation of the roller two 260 group, and then move along the track through the roller two 260, thus realizing inspection. Since during use, the setting of the electric push rod 210 enables the robot to be flexibly adjusted according to the width of different tracks. When encountering a wider track, the electric push rod 210 can extend, pushing the fixed rod 220 and the fixed plate 230 to move outward, so as to increase the distance between the roller two 260s to adapt to a wider track. Similarly, when the track is narrower, the electric push rod 210 contracts, reducing the distance between the roller two 260s, ensuring that the robot can operate stably on tracks of different sizes.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 As the second embodiment of the present invention: An installation plate 310 is installed on the upper side surface of the base plate 100. A rotating plate 320 is rotatably installed at the central position of the upper side surface of the installation plate 310 through a rotating motor. A cross plate 330 is installed at the upper side edge of the front side surface of the rotating plate 320. An inspection camera 340 is installed at the central position of the lower side surface of the cross plate 330.

[0025] The detection end of the inspection camera 340 faces the front end. A power supply component and a control module are installed on the lower side surface of the base plate 100. The four electric push rods 210 are connected in series. The moving component 200 and the inspection component 300 are both electrically connected to the power supply component and the control module through wires.

[0026] Four moving components 200 are arranged on the outer surface of the track, and the structure of the track matches the rolling grooves of the first roller 250 and the second roller 260 of the moving component 200;

[0027] When in use, when the bottom plate 100 performs inspection on the track through the moving component 200, the inspection camera 340 will be activated at this time, and the image captured by the inspection camera 340 will be transmitted to the computer device through wireless technology for the user to observe. At this time, the user can also start the rotary motor on the upper surface of the mounting plate 310 to drive the rotary plate 320 to rotate, thereby driving the inspection camera 340 on the lower surface of the cross plate 330 to rotate, so as to change the inspection angle of the inspection camera 340, so that the user can observe different positions (the control module and the inspection camera 340 are both prior arts, and their specific working principles and structures will not be elaborated here). Since when in use, the rotary motor drives the rotary plate 320 to rotate, the inspection camera 340 installed on the cross plate 330 can realize multi-angle rotation in the horizontal direction. In this way, during the inspection process, the inspection camera 340 can flexibly adjust the shooting angle according to different inspection requirements, comprehensively cover the inspection area, and avoid the occurrence of inspection dead angles.

[0028] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
