[0002] Currently, the fire hoses used for emergency rescue and drainage operations are relatively large and heavy in size.

[0027] The following are specific embodiments of the present application and in combination with the accompanying drawings, the technical solutions of the present application are further described, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments. In the following description, providing specific details such as specific configurations and components is only to help comprehensively understand the embodiments of the present application. Therefore, those skilled in the art should clearly understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application. In addition, descriptions of known functions and structures are omitted for clarity and conciseness.
[0028] It should be noted that, without conflict, the implementation manners in the present application and the features in the implementation manners can be combined with each other.
[0029] The present application provides a fire hose transfer robot, which can transfer fire hoses at a working site with complex terrain, and to a large extent reduce the manual operation intensity and improve the operation efficiency. During work, first, it is necessary to transport the hose roll by a transport vehicle, and then transfer the hoses on the transport vehicle to the fire hose transfer robot.
[0030] As Figures 1 - 3 shown, the fire hose transfer robot includes: a crawler chassis 10, a roller mechanism 20, a storage rack 30, and a limiting bracket 40. The crawler chassis 10 has good passability and can travel and transport the hose roll under complex terrain. The hose roll is a wound hose, and the fire hose transfer robot is used to transfer the hose roll and can be used in complex terrain.
[0031] Specifically, a chassis bracket is provided on the crawler chassis 10; the roller mechanism 20 is arranged above the chassis bracket; the roller mechanism 20 is composed of a plurality of rotatable rollers 21 and forms a loading space 22 for the hose roll W above it; the storage rack 30 is used to place the hose roll W; the storage rack 30 can slide into or out of the loading space 22 on the roller mechanism 20. The limiting bracket 40 is used to apply a limit to the storage rack 30 located above the roller mechanism 20 to block its withdrawal from the loading space 22, or remove the limit to allow the storage rack 30 to slide into or out of the loading space 22 on the roller mechanism 20.
[0032] Specifically, the roller mechanism 20 is arranged on the crawler chassis and is used to carry the hose reel W. The hose reel W can slide with the help of the roller mechanism 20, thus facilitating its loading and unloading. It should be understood that it is more convenient to transfer the hose reel by placing it on the storage rack and using the storage rack to transfer the hose reel.
[0033] When loading the storage rack with the hose reel, the limit bracket 40 is opened to remove the limit, and the storage rack is pushed onto the roller mechanism 20. The storage rack can slide into the loading space 22 above the roller mechanism 20 with the help of the roller mechanism 20. After the storage rack 30 completely enters the loading space 22, the limit bracket 40 is closed to apply a limit to the storage rack 30 located above the roller mechanism 20 to prevent it from exiting the loading space 22, that is, the storage rack 30 is restricted above the roller mechanism 20, thus completing the loading process of the hose reel.
[0034] When unloading the storage rack with the hose reel, the limit bracket 40 is opened to remove the limit. At this time, the storage rack can slide out of the loading space 22 above the roller mechanism 20 with the help of the roller mechanism 20. After the storage rack 30 completely exits the loading space 22, the limit bracket 40 can be closed.
[0035] It should be understood that when loading and unloading the storage rack with the hose reel, the roller mechanism 20 can greatly reduce the manual labor intensity and improve the operation efficiency. Moreover, the crawler chassis 10 can be used in complex terrains. In this application, the roller mechanism 20 is arranged on the crawler chassis 10. On the one hand, the roller mechanism 20 can be used to carry the storage rack with the hose reel placed thereon. On the other hand, the storage rack can slide with the help of the roller mechanism 20, which is convenient for loading and unloading.
[0036] Reference Figures 4 - 6 , in an embodiment of the present application, the storage rack 30 is composed of a plurality of separable storage units 31, and each storage unit 31 corresponds to placing a hose reel W. In use, after the hose is wound up, it can be loaded into the corresponding storage unit 31 for transfer. The loading space 22 can accommodate a plurality of storage units 31, and the plurality of storage units 31 in the loading space 22 form the storage rack 30. As Figure 4 shown, 4 storage units 31 are loaded above the roller mechanism 20, and the 4 storage units 31 form the storage rack 30.
[0037] Furthermore, the plurality of storage units 31 form a multi-layer stacking structure, and the multi-layer stacking structure can make full use of the space on the crawler chassis 10 and can transfer a plurality of hoses at one time. In a specific example, reference Figure 4 , the storage rack 30 includes a two-layer structure, and each of the upper and lower layers has two storage units 31, forming a two-layer stacking structure.
[0038] Reference Figure 6, in an embodiment of the present application, a pin structure is provided between two adjacent storage units 31 of the upper and lower layers. The two adjacent storage units 31 of the upper and lower layers are restricted together through the pin structure. During loading and unloading, only the two adjacent storage units 31 of the upper and lower layers need to be pushed as a whole, which is more convenient.
[0039] Reference Figure 4 , in an embodiment of the present application, the storage unit 31 is a box-type structure, and a storage groove capable of accommodating a water hose roll W is provided thereon.
[0040] Reference Figure 6 , the roller mechanism 20 is composed of a plurality of rotatable rollers 21, and the storage rack 30 can slide on the rollers 21. In one embodiment, the roller mechanism 20 is an electric mechanism. Under the drive of a motor, some or all of the rollers 21 above it can move the storage rack 30 carried above it without manual pushing. In another embodiment, the roller mechanism 20 is a non-powered mechanism. Since the rollers 21 are rotatable, the storage rack 30 carried above it can move with less friction, and only a small thrust needs to be applied to push the storage rack 30.
[0041] Reference Figure 1 , the roller mechanism 20 can convey the storage rack 30 along the front-back direction of the crawler chassis 10, and the roller mechanism 20 extends from the front side of the crawler chassis 10 to the rear side of the crawler chassis 10. In a specific solution, during loading, the storage rack 30 can enter the loading space 22 above the roller mechanism 20 from the rear side of the crawler chassis 10. During unloading, the storage rack 30 can exit the loading space 22 above the roller mechanism 20 from the front side of the crawler chassis 10. In another specific solution, the storage rack 30 is loaded and unloaded from one side (front side or rear side) of the crawler chassis 10.
[0042] In an embodiment of the present application, the limit bracket 40 includes two side brackets 41, a front bracket 42, and a rear bracket 43. The two side brackets 41 are located at opposite positions; the front bracket 42 and the rear bracket 43 are located at opposite positions, and the two side brackets 41, the front bracket 42, and the rear bracket 43 together form the four peripheral edges of the loading space 22. Among them, the two side brackets extend along the front-back direction of the crawler chassis 10. The front bracket 42 is located at the front side position of the crawler chassis 10, and the rear bracket 43 is located at the rear side position of the crawler chassis 10; the front bracket 42 is installed on the two side brackets and can be separated from the two side brackets; the rear bracket 43 is installed on the two side brackets 41 and can be separated from the two side brackets.
[0043] Figure 3Shows the structural distribution above the crawler chassis 10. The two side brackets 41, the front bracket 42 and the rear bracket 43 together form the four peripheral edges of the loading space 22. Two water hose reels W are located within the loading space 22, with their front positions restricted by the front bracket 42 and their rear positions restricted by the rear bracket 43. The two side brackets 41 can be fixedly installed, and the front bracket 42 and the rear bracket 43 are separable from the two side brackets 41. When the front bracket 42 is separated from the two side brackets, the limiting bracket 40 forms a notch at the front position of the crawler chassis 10 to allow the water hose reel W within the loading space 22 to enter and exit the limiting bracket 40 from the front side of the crawler chassis 10 through the roller mechanism 20, achieving loading or unloading. When the rear bracket 43 is separated from the two side brackets, the limiting bracket 40 forms a notch at the rear position of the crawler chassis 10 to allow the water hose reel W within the loading space 22 to enter and exit the limiting bracket 40 from the rear side of the crawler chassis 10 through the roller mechanism 20, achieving loading or unloading.
[0044] Reference Figure 6 , in a specific example, the front bracket 42 is bent, and its two ends are respectively inserted downward into the two side brackets 41 for installation. When separation is required, only the front bracket 42 needs to be pulled upward, and its two ends are separated from the two side brackets respectively. At the same time, the rear bracket 43 is bent, and its two ends are respectively inserted downward into the two side brackets 41 for installation. When separation is required, only the rear bracket 43 needs to be pulled upward, and its two ends are separated from the two side brackets respectively.
[0045] In an embodiment of the present application, the crawler chassis 10 is provided with an automatic driving sensing element and a controller. The controller is used to control the crawler chassis 10 to achieve automatic driving according to the information detected by the automatic driving sensing element; wherein, the automatic driving sensing element includes: radar and / or camera.
[0046] Specifically, the controller is used to control the driving of the crawler chassis 10, including steering and moving forward and backward. The camera can be used to identify the road conditions ahead, enabling the controller to control the crawler chassis accordingly based on the road conditions ahead, so that the crawler chassis can pass through complex road conditions. The radar is used to detect obstacles ahead during driving, enabling the controller to avoid obstacles ahead during driving. The crawler chassis configured with an automatic driving sensing element can achieve the transfer of water hose materials on complex terrains with mild manual assistance or even without human operation. On the one hand, it improves the convenience of use, and on the other hand, it also enhances the passability.
[0047] In an embodiment of the present application, the crawler chassis 10 is further configured with a drone system for taking ground images to achieve path planning and automatic driving. The drone system is used to obtain road surface images for advance planning. With the help of the drone ground detection system of the water hose transport vehicle, path planning and automatic driving of the operation scenario are achieved.
[0048] In addition, the fire hose transfer robot provided by this application is also designed with an artificial / remote control driving function, which can better meet the requirements of complex terrains.
[0049] In summary, this application provides a fire hose transfer crawler vehicle device that can be used in complex terrains to transfer fire hoses at the work site of complex terrains, and greatly reduces the intensity of manual operations and improves work efficiency.
