Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of fire-fighting robots, and particularly relates to a liftable driving wheel for a fire-fighting robot. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, in order to fully ensure the safety of firefighters, when dealing with fires that are inaccessible or where effective on-site information cannot be obtained, remote control is usually used for fire extinguishing. A fire-fighting robot is a type of special robot and plays a crucial role in fire extinguishing and rescue operations. Fire-fighting robots are usually controlled remotely and can transmit real-time images of the rescue scene. They can enter the fire scene for fire extinguishing and rescue.

[0003] However, the existing fire-fighting robots have the following problems in actual use: (1) Fire-fighting robots usually adopt a crawler walking mechanism, which is relatively bulky, large in size, and heavy in weight. They need to be transported to the fire scene by a special vehicle separately and cannot follow the fire truck to the fire scene for fire extinguishing and rescue immediately. Firefighters cannot be quickly deployed to the fire scene; (2) When the fire-fighting robot sprays high-pressure water outward, it usually generates a reaction force on the fire-fighting robot. Under the action of the reaction force, the fire-fighting robot is prone to move. After moving, the fire-fighting robot cannot effectively extinguish the fire at the designated location, resulting in the fire situation not being quickly and effectively controlled.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the above problems, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to design a liftable driving wheel for a fire-fighting robot, which replaces the crawler walking mechanism with an electric wheel to reduce the weight, uses a folding frame to reduce the volume during storage, and uses a fixing device to enhance the stability during operation, further improving the fire extinguishing efficiency and control effect. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a liftable driving wheel for a fire-fighting robot, which realizes the enhancement of stability during operation while reducing the storage volume through the linkage of a folding frame and a fixing device.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a liftable driving wheel for a fire-fighting robot, which is used to drive the chassis of the fire-fighting robot and the box body arranged on the chassis to move. It includes a folding frame and an electric wheel connected to the folding frame. A folding driving mechanism for controlling the opening or folding of the folding frame is connected to the folding frame; a fixing device for restricting the operation of the electric wheel is connected to the folding frame, and the fixing device moves along with the movement of the folding frame.

[0007] Preferably, a battery for controlling its operation is connected to the electric wheel, and the battery is located inside the box body.

[0008] In the above, the chassis for the fire-fighting robot includes two forms: standing and lying; when the folding drive mechanism controls the folding frame to fold, the folding frame retracts the electric wheels, and the chassis is in a standing state, its center of gravity is raised, and the front-to-back length is shortened, which can reduce the volume and facilitate placement in a fire truck, thereby improving the space utilization rate in the fire truck; when the folding drive mechanism controls the folding frame to open, the folding frame spreads the electric wheels, and the chassis is in a lying state, its center of gravity is lowered, and its stability is better.

[0009] Preferably, the folding frame includes a fixed frame and a rotating frame; one end of the rotating frame is rotatably connected to the fixed frame, and the other end of the rotating frame is rotatably connected to the electric wheel; the folding drive mechanism is connected to the rotating frame to control the rotating frame to rotate circumferentially in a direction close to or away from the fixed frame to control the folding frame to open or fold.

[0010] Preferably, the box body arranged on the chassis is fixedly connected to the fixing frame.

[0011] Preferably, the number of the rotating frames is 2; the two rotating frames are respectively arranged at two ends of the fixed frame.

[0012] Preferably, the folding drive mechanism comprises an electric push rod; both ends of the electric push rod are respectively connected to two rotating frames.

[0013] Preferably, the folding drive mechanism is further provided with a guide plate, the guide plate is fixed on the fixing frame, the guide plate is provided with a guide groove, the electric push rod is fixed with a guide block, the guide block is movably connected in the guide groove and moves along the guide groove.

[0014] In the above, the guide groove can prevent the electric push rod from swinging during the extension and retraction process.

[0015] Preferably, the fixing device comprises a ground nail and a limit movement mechanism for driving the ground nail to move toward or away from the ground, and the limit movement mechanism is connected to the rotating frame and moves with the movement of the rotating frame.

[0016] In the above, when the folding drive mechanism controls the folding frame to open, the folding frame spreads the electric wheels and the chassis is in a lying state. At this time, the ground spikes move with the rotating frame to contact the ground, playing a stabilizing role and preventing the recoil force generated during the operation of the fire cannon from driving the chassis to move.

[0017] Preferably, the limit movement mechanism drives the ground spike to move vertically toward or away from the ground, and the limit movement mechanism includes a lifting mechanism, and the ground spike is located on the lifting mechanism.

[0018] Preferably, the limit movement mechanism drives the ground nail to rotate circumferentially in a direction close to or away from the ground, and the limit movement mechanism includes a first limit rotation frame, the first limit rotation frame is rotatably connected to the rotating frame, and the ground nail is fixed on the first limit rotation frame.

[0019] Preferably, the limit movement mechanism drives the ground nail to rotate circumferentially in a direction close to or away from the ground, and the limit movement mechanism includes a second limit rotation frame, the second limit rotation frame is rotatably connected to a box set on the chassis of the fire-fighting robot, the second limit rotation frame is movably connected to the rotating frame, and the ground nail is fixed on the second limit rotation frame.

[0020] Preferably, a limiting movable groove is provided on the second limiting rotating frame; a limiting movable block is also provided on one end of the rotating frame away from the fixed frame, and the limiting movable block is movably connected in the limiting movable groove and moves along the limiting movable groove.

[0021] In the above, when the rotating frame is rotating, the limit moving block set on the rotating frame rotates with the rotating frame, and the limit moving block moves in the limit moving groove and drives the second limit rotating frame and the ground nails on the second limit rotating frame to rotate in the direction close to or away from the ground. When the chassis changes from a standing position to a lying position, the limit rotating frame and the ground nails on the limit rotating frame rotate in the direction close to the ground until the ground nails are inserted into the ground to complete the limit; when the chassis changes from a lying position to a standing position, the limit rotating frame and the ground nails on the limit rotating frame rotate in the direction away from the ground until they are reset, and the limit is released at this time.

[0022] Preferably, the second limit movable frame is a triangular frame, the rotational connections between the ground nails, the limit rotating frame and the box are respectively located at two corners of the triangular frame, and the limit movable groove is located at the opposite side of the corner where the ground nail is located.

[0023] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0024] 1. The utility model replaces the driving tracks commonly used in the prior art with electric wheels, which can reduce the weight of the device; the folding frame is controlled to open or fold by the folding drive mechanism to realize the folding storage function; when the folding frame folds the electric wheels, its center of gravity is raised, the front and rear lengths are shortened, and the volume can be reduced, which is convenient for being put into the fire truck, and can be dispatched with the fire truck, thereby improving the space utilization rate in the fire truck; when the folding frame opens the electric wheels, its center of gravity is lowered, and the stability is better;

[0025] 2. The utility model is provided with a limiting movement mechanism and ground nails. The limiting movement mechanism and ground nails connected to the folding frame move along with the movement of the folding frame. When the folding frame spreads out the electric wheels, the ground nails move along with the folding frame to contact the ground, playing a stabilizing role and preventing the chassis from moving due to the recoil force generated during the operation of the fire cannon. When the folding frame retracts the electric wheels, the ground nails move along with the folding frame to reset, releasing the restriction, which facilitates movement and storage.

[0026] 3. Through the combination of the folding frame, electric wheels and fixing device, the utility model can automatically switch its form according to the usage needs, with a high degree of automation, convenient use, improving the space utilization rate inside the fire truck, further enhancing the fire extinguishing efficiency and control effect, and meeting the needs of production use.
