Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inspection robots, in particular to an intrinsically safe and sealed intelligent inspection robot for mine tunnels. Background Technique
[0002] After searching the Chinese patent document with the existing publication number CN218743650U, it discloses a mine inspection robot with a self-cleaning function, including an inspection robot main body installed on a track. A camera is fixed to the bottom surface of the inspection robot main body. Self-cleaning components are installed at both the front and rear ends of the lower end of the inspection robot main body. The self-cleaning component includes a deflector plate, which is inclined. One end of the deflector plate is fixed to the bottom surface of the inspection robot main body, and the other end of the deflector plate inclines downward and covers one end of the camera. Through the setting of the deflector plate, during the inspection operation of the inspection robot, more dust can be prevented from adhering to the camera, and the dust attached to the surface of the camera can be automatically cleaned. The cleaning effect is good, and it is not necessary for the inspection robot to return to the location of the staff or a fixed point for cleaning. While ensuring cleaning, the inspection efficiency of the inspection robot is improved.

[0033] Working principle: To realize patrol inspection and fault diagnosis of continuous belt conveyors and tunnel environments in mines. The patrol robot adopts intrinsically safe sealing design and automatic endurance technology to ensure reliable operation and sufficient power in complex environments. Its body is equipped with multi-source sensors and dual-light cameras. It adopts intelligent perception algorithms to collect image data and environmental parameters of transportation equipment and tunnel sites in real time, conduct patrol monitoring of the equipment operation status, and make advance prediction and warning of existing or potential faults, reduce fault downtime, and improve safe operation efficiency. The intrinsically safe sealed mine tunnel intelligent patrol robot is divided into overall skeleton design, walking part design, guide part design, visual pan-tilt design, charging part and drive motor assembly design. The control system design mainly completes the control module design based on RS485 and the corresponding algorithm writing to realize image scanning, segmentation, recognition and other operations. At the same time, it has a variety of innovative intelligent systems such as data acquisition system, image processing function, walking system, positioning cruise function, data transmission system, brush plate and brush block charging system and sensor system. The mine tunnel intelligent patrol robot has fast cruising and endurance capabilities, and can independently complete the inspection tasks of long mine tunnels. The device first needs to build the guide rail in the mine tunnel, and then place the inspection robot on the guide rail after deploying the guide rail in the mine tunnel. The robot's walking system drives the robot body to move forward at a speed of 1.5m / s for inspection, and the inspection of a five-kilometer-long mine tunnel can be completed within two hours. The sensing system composed of multi-visual and multi-sensor devices such as portable industrial cameras, infrared thermal imaging equipment, temperature sensors, humidity sensors, oxygen content sensors, smoke sensors, harmful gas sensors and distance sensors carried by the device monitors the mine tunnel situation and diagnoses faults in real time, and uploads data through the data transmission system composed of TCP connection using the error control method. Since the robot needs to collect many data points, the special working environment in the mine tunnel will not only interfere with the collected data but also affect the data upload, so the RS485 communication interface standard with higher security is used. Then the team uses relevant technologies to process the uploaded pictures and various data to determine the location where the robot finds faults on the inspection road. It uses precise mileage positioning (RFID) and the motor's built-in encoder to assist positioning, and uploads its own position information in real time. The inspection system centralizes the mobile platform communication data including control instructions, sensor data, visible light and thermal imaging data. In order to ensure the stability and safety of the robot's long-term, long-distance movement and automatic charging of the robot, lithium iron phosphate batteries are used and equipped with a BMS protection system. The charging equipment can be used in humid and dusty environments. The inspection robot is equipped with a lithium iron phosphate battery to maintain the operation of the drive motor, data transmission system, sensor system and positioning system in the shell. A charging station is set up at the beginning of the guide rail, and a sliding touch safe charging method is used.The forward and reverse rotation, the integration of the servo motor and the camera, and various parameters of the robot are all controlled by professionals after inputting the adjusted code in the background. The forward and reverse rotation of the robot is achieved by writing the corresponding program and downloading it to the PLC, and inputting the motor speed through the Kingview motor. By writing speeds of 200 and -200, the forward and backward movement of the robot is realized, and at the same time, the voltage, current, and rotation speed of the two servo motors are obtained on the Kingview interface. In order to avoid missing equipment detection, a thermal imaging camera is specially installed, so that problems that are difficult to observe with the naked eye become obvious, especially problems such as equipment overload and overheating. The inspection robot can quickly detect and respond to these problems, enabling the background to detect the camera in real time and ensuring that problems can be solved in a timely manner after they are discovered.
