Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of visual recognition mechanisms, in particular to a visual recognition mechanism of a track inspection robot. Background Art
[0002] Visual recognition is the most direct response to objects within sight, but it does not rely on the human eye. Instead, it uses machines to replace the human eye to scan and photograph images, and then converts the captured data into signals through an image processing system and sends them elsewhere for imaging.
[0003] In order to ensure the safety and rigor of the processing process, and to prevent inferior finished products from mixing with high-quality products and affecting the overall quality, it is necessary to use inspection robots that can slide along the track for monitoring. Such robots are equipped with visual recognition mechanisms. In the past, most of such mechanisms were connected to the external shell of the robot and lacked their own support structure. If there was any shaking, it would easily detach from the main body and be easily affected by the vibration generated by the movement of the internal components of the robot, resulting in blurred shooting patterns, inconvenient height adjustment, and limited shooting range.
[0004] Now, a new type of visual recognition mechanism of a track inspection robot is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a visual recognition mechanism for a track inspection robot to solve the problem of fixed position of the visual recognition mechanism proposed in the above background technology.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: a visual recognition mechanism of a track inspection robot, comprising a sleeve frame and a transmission chamber, a transmission chamber is provided at the center of the inner side surface of the sleeve frame, and a gear is movably connected to the outer side of the transmission chamber, two groups of round balls are inlaid on both sides of the inner side of the transmission chamber, a support rod is vertically inserted into the transmission chamber, and tooth grooves are distributed between the upper and lower surfaces of the support rod, positioning holes are arranged at equal intervals at the front end of the support rod, screw holes are provided on the side surface of the front end of the sleeve frame, and bolts are engaged in the screw holes, a cavity is provided on the side surface of the sleeve frame, the top end of the support rod side slide is movably connected to the sleeve rod, and a frame is provided at the center between the sleeve rods, insertion rods are respectively fixed on both sides of the outer side of the frame, a connecting rod is fixed at the center of the bottom of the frame, and a limit rod is laterally fixed to the bottom of the connecting rod, the bottom and top ends of both sides of the limit rod are respectively inlaid with steel balls, slide grooves are respectively provided on the side surface of the rear end of the sleeve frame, and a base is fixed below the support rod.
[0007] Preferably, a camera collector is movably connected between the two sides of the front end of the frame, a motor is installed on the left side of the frame, and an image recognizer is installed at the rear of the top end of the frame.
[0008] Preferably, the side surface of the gear is embedded in the tooth groove, and the ball is attached to the surface of the support rod.
[0009] Preferably, the bolt can be screwed into the screw hole, and the rear end of the bolt is embedded in the positioning hole.
[0010] Preferably, the sleeve frame slides along both sides of the limiting rod by means of a sliding groove, and the sleeve rod slides along the surface of the insertion rod.
[0011] Preferably, an assembly frame is fixed at the center of the rear of the frame, and a motor is fixed on the outside of the assembly frame. A cylinder is movably connected between the assembly frame and the frame, and a mounting rod is fixed on the top of the telescopic rod of the cylinder, and a light bulb is fixed in front of the top of the mounting rod.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the visual recognition mechanism of the track inspection robot not only realizes the rapid adjustment of the height of the shooting component and the adjustment of the bracket structure, but also realizes the provision of lighting services;
[0013] (1) A transmission chamber is provided at the center of the inner side of the sleeve frame. The support rods on both sides of the mechanism are first installed on the bottom plate of the robot using a base. The sleeve frames on both sides are vertically lifted and lowered synchronously along the outer wall of the support rods. When the support rods pass through the transmission chamber, the gears will mesh and guide the support rods with tooth grooves to slide, while the other side uses rolling balls to maintain the vertical lifting of the support rods. After aligning the positioning holes and screw holes, bolts are screwed in to reinforce them. The height of the sleeve rods, image recognizers, and camera collectors can be adjusted, and the sleeve frames are forced to be clamped on the outside of the robot body as an auxiliary fixation.
[0014] (2) By fixing the limit rod horizontally at the bottom of the connecting rod, the sleeve frame on the surface of the limit rod can be moved left and right according to the size of the robot equipment shell. Under the lubrication of the steel ball, the limit rod can be prevented from getting stuck. The sleeve rods on both sides of the top also slide along the insertion rod. The clamping spacing of the sleeve frames on both sides can be adjusted, and then the motor is used to rotate the camera collector and shoot the place where the robot passes. The result is then sent to the terminal for staff to review through the conversion of the image recognizer. The multi-directional fixation and shooting of this equipment can be achieved in conjunction with the lifting structure. A connecting rod is erected between the frame and the limit rod to ensure the synchronization of the upper and lower sliding structures;
[0015] (3) By fixing a light bulb in front of the top of the mounting rod, if the light in the area is insufficient, the rear motor is started to control the cylinder to rotate in the left, up and right directions in the assembly frame, and then the piston rod of the cylinder is used to change the height of the mounting rod. The light bulb is used to illuminate the area to be photographed, avoiding insufficient light that affects the camera's monitoring of the inspection area and does not affect the movement of the robot device.
