Detailed implementation manners

[0030] In order to further understand the features, technical means, specific purposes and functions achieved by the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0031] See Figures 1 - 9 As shown, an intelligent inspection robot for a digital power plant includes a guide rail 100, a first slider 102 is slidably sleeved on the guide rail 100, a driving member for driving the first slider 102 to slide is arranged on the guide rail 100, a mounting plate 106 is fixedly arranged on the bottom surface of the first slider 102, a camera 107 for inspection is arranged below the mounting plate 106, an adjustment mechanism 200 capable of adjusting the inspection angle of the camera 107 is fixedly arranged on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 106, the adjustment mechanism 200 includes a connecting rod 201 and a drive block 210 for driving the camera 107 to rotate around the rotating shaft of the drive block 210, the bottom end of the connecting rod 201 is rotatably provided with a rotating shaft 202, and the other end of the rotating shaft 202 is fixedly connected to the side surface of the camera 107.

[0032] During use, the entire inspection robot is installed and fixed in the power plant through two mounting brackets. The driving member is turned on to drive the mounting plate 106 to move on the guide rail 100. The movement of the mounting plate 106 drives the camera 107 to move to monitor the power plant and conduct fire warning. When it is necessary to observe the machines at different angles and positions in the power plant, the driving block 210 is started to squeeze the camera 107, causing the camera 107 to tend to move downward. Since the side surface of the camera 107 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 201 through the rotating shaft 202, the camera 107 will rotate around the connecting shaft of the connecting rod 201 and the rotating shaft 202, thereby adjusting the monitoring angle of the camera 107, and solving the problem that the tilting angle of the camera 107 is not convenient to adjust and thus cannot meet the shooting requirements in different directions.

[0033] See Figures 3 - 6 As shown, the adjusting mechanism 200 further includes a sliding rail 203. The sliding rail 203 is fixedly arranged at the top end of the camera 107. A second slider 204 is slidably sleeved on the sliding rail 203. The top end of the second slider 204 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 205. The top end of the rotating rod 205 is fixedly provided with a fixing plate 206. Two groups of springs 208 are symmetrically abutted on the top surface of the fixing plate 206. The other ends of the springs 208 are abutted on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 106. A sliding component 400 is sleeved in each group of springs 208. The two ends of the sliding component 400 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the mounting plate 106 and the top surface of the fixing plate 206. An adjusting member for driving the fixing plate 206 to move downward is provided on the mounting plate 106.

[0034] When it is necessary to observe the machines at different angles and positions in the power plant, the adjusting member is started to exert pressure on the fixing plate 206. Under the action of the extrusion force, the corresponding spring 208 is stretched, driving the fixing plate 206 to move downward, so that the rotating rod 205 drives the second slider 204 to move. The second slider 204 slides on the outside of the sliding rail 203 and generates an extrusion force. Under the action of the extrusion force, the second slider 204 drives the sliding rail 203 to rotate downward, and the sliding rail 203 drives the camera 107 to rotate, achieving the effect of adjusting the monitoring angle of the camera 107.

[0035] See Figures 4 - 6 As shown, the adjusting member includes a vertical block 207. The vertical block 207 is fixedly arranged at the top end of the fixing plate 206 and is located on the symmetry axis of the two groups of springs 208. A hydraulic rod 209 is fixedly arranged on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 106. The driving block 210 is fixedly arranged at the output end of the hydraulic rod 209 and has a trapezoidal cross-section, and the long side of the trapezoid contacts the vertical block 207.

[0036] During use, the hydraulic rod 209 is adjusted to drive the driving block 210 to move forward or retract. When the driving block 210 moves forward, the long side of the driving block 210 continuously presses against the vertical block 207, causing the vertical block 207 to drive the fixing plate 206 to move downward. When the driving block 210 retracts, under the action of the spring 208, the sliding assembly 400 drives the fixing plate 206 to move upward, achieving the effect of driving the fixing plate 206 to move up and down to adjust the angle of the slide rail 203.

[0037] See Figures 7 - 8 As shown, the sliding assembly 400 includes a sliding sleeve 401. The sliding sleeve 401 is provided with a hollow inner cavity. The sliding sleeve 401 is fixedly arranged at the top end of the fixing plate 206. A sliding rod 403 is slidably sleeved in the sliding sleeve 401. A limiting plate 404 for preventing the sliding rod 403 from disengaging from the sliding sleeve 401 is fixedly arranged on the bottom surface of the sliding rod 403.

[0038] When the long side of the driving block 210 continuously presses against the vertical block 207, the vertical block 207 drives the fixing plate 206 to move downward, so that the sliding rod 403 slides upward in the sliding sleeve 401 and continuously stretches the spring 208. When the driving block 210 retracts, under the action of the spring 208, the sliding rod 403 slides downward in the sliding sleeve 401, driving the fixing plate 206 to move upward.

[0039] See Figure 8 As shown, the sliding assembly 400 further includes a limiting hole 402. The limiting hole 402 is opened on the sliding sleeve 401. A fixing groove 405 is opened on the inner wall of the sliding rod 403. A first spring 406 is abutted against the inner side wall of the fixing groove 405. The other end of the first spring 406 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 407. The limiting block 407 is slidably arranged in the fixing groove 405.

[0040] When the sliding rod 403 slides upward or downward in the inner cavity of the sliding sleeve 401, when the positions of the limiting block 407 and the limiting hole 402 correspond to each other, under the action of the first spring 406, the limiting block 407 slides and is snap-fitted into the limiting hole 402, thereby limiting the sliding rod 403.

[0041] See Figures 1 - 3 As shown, a protective shell 108 is sleeved outside the camera 107. A cleaning mechanism 300 for cleaning the dust attached to the surface of the protective shell 108 is arranged on the side surface of the camera 107.

[0042] The protective shell 108 is made of a transparent material. The transparent protective shell 108 protects the camera 107 to prevent the camera 107 from being damaged by the external environment during daily use. The sliding assembly 400 cleans the outer wall of the protective shell 108 to prevent impurities from adhering to the outside of the protective shell 108 and affecting the normal inspection of the power plant by the camera 107.

[0043] See Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 300 includes a cleaning frame 301. The cleaning frame 301 is rotatably arranged on the side of the camera 107. A rotary motor 302 for driving the cleaning frame 301 to rotate is fixedly arranged on the side of the camera 107. A sliding rod 304 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the cleaning frame 301. A cleaning brush 303 is fixedly arranged at the other end of the sliding rod 304. A second spring 305 is sleeved on the sliding rod 304. The two ends of the second spring 305 are respectively abutted against the side surface of the cleaning brush 303 and the inner side wall of the cleaning frame 301.

[0044] When cleaning the outer wall of the protective shell 108, the rotary motor 302 is started to drive the cleaning frame 301 to rotate. The rotation of the cleaning frame 301 drives the cleaning brush 303 to rotate. Under the action of the sliding rod 304 and the second spring 305, the cleaning brush 303 always abuts against the surface of the protective shell 108, thereby realizing the cleaning of the outer wall of the protective shell 108.

[0045] See Figure 1 As shown, the driving member includes a rack 101. The rack 101 is fixedly arranged on the guide rail 100 and is arranged parallel to the guide rail 100. One side of the rack 101 has teeth and the other side is smooth. A driving motor 103 is fixedly arranged on the top surface of the mounting plate 106. A gear 104 is fixedly arranged at the output end of the driving motor 103. The gear 104 meshes with the toothed side of the rack 101. A guide wheel 105 is rotatably arranged on the top surface of the mounting plate 106. The guide wheel 105 contacts the smooth side of the rack 101.

[0046] During use, the driving motor 103 is started to drive the gear 104 to rotate. Since the gear 104 meshes with the rack 101, the gear 104 drives the mounting plate 106 to move forward on the rack 101 during the rotation process. The setting of the guide wheel 105 assists the movement of the mounting plate 106.

[0047] The above embodiments merely represent one or several implementation manners of the present utility model. The description thereof is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation to the scope of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several variations and improvements can still be made, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model shall be subject to the appended claims.
