Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of charging cabins, in particular to a charging cabin for an inspection robot. Background Art
[0002] In Class II explosion environments, such as the open-air installation areas of petrochemical enterprises, inspection robots are used to monitor and collect environmental data in real time for explosion-proof safety warnings. An inspection track is first set up in the environment that needs to be monitored. The robot is then inverted and moves along the fixed inspection track to perform inspection tasks. Due to the large scope of the inspection area and the sometimes complex inspection path, the inspection robot generally uses a built-in battery to power the robot body. However, if charging is carried out in an environment with a lot of dust and flammable gases, the electric sparks and static electricity generated during the charging process can easily ignite surrounding combustible materials and cause an explosion if protective measures are not taken. Therefore, to avoid dangerous situations, when the robot runs out of power, the staff will directly remove the robot from the inspection track and place it in a safe environment for charging.
[0003] An existing charging cabin for inspection robots (Announcement No.: CN221150997U) has at least the following drawbacks:
[0004] In the above patent, during the charging process, the second air intake valve and the second discharge valve can be opened periodically to circulate the internal gas, replacing the gas in the charging room with clean gas, thereby dissipating heat and exhausting combustible gas to achieve explosion-proof charging. However, the temperature of the clean gas is close to room temperature, which makes the cooling effect relatively limited. It is necessary to continuously replace the gas, and external equipment needs to continuously consume electricity to produce clean gas, which has certain limitations. Utility Model Content

[0026] From the above description, it can be seen that the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention achieves the following technical effects: through the provided charging cabin 1, when the user is charging the inspection robot 2, the internal temperature of the charging cabin 1 may rise, and then at this time, the air inside the charging cabin 1 is sucked and sent into the interior of the connecting pipe 13 by the provided second fan 14, and the air temperature inside the connecting pipe 13 is detected by the provided temperature detector 17, and then the air is discharged from the air outlet 11 through the fixed pipe 10, and is filled in the heat sink of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 6, so that the air continues to flow out from the interior of the cooling chamber 3, and under the separation of the diverter plate 18, the air is dispersed and flows downward to the bottom surface of the partition 16, so that through the provided air outlet 20, the flowing air returns to the interior of the charging cabin 1 again through the air outlet 20, and when the temperature detector 17 detects that the temperature exceeds the preset temperature, such as 30 degrees Celsius, the semiconductor refrigeration plate 6 is started at this time so that the left side of the semiconductor refrigeration plate 6 The first side is cooled and the right side is heated, so that the heat is conducted to the first radiator 5 through the provided thermal grease, and the cooling fan 7 is started to blow air to the first radiator 5, so that the air takes away the heat of the first radiator 5. At the same time, the heat of the second radiator 8 is absorbed by the provided thermal grease, so that the second radiator 8 absorbs heat and cools the air flowing inside. Thus, the cooled air continues to return to the interior of the charging cabin 1 through the above-mentioned method, and repeats this process until the temperature detector 17 detects that the temperature reaches the set low temperature, such as 20 degrees Celsius, thereby stopping the semiconductor refrigeration plate 6 from working, and continuously detecting the temperature. If it exceeds the temperature, it will start again to cool down. Thus, the internal circulation cooling effect of the interior of the charging cabin 1 is achieved. Compared with the ventilation and cooling of the normal temperature air outside, the internal circulation cooling can make the air temperature lower and the temperature difference larger. Compared with the normal temperature air cooling method of the comparative document, the cooling effect is better, and there is no need to continuously start external equipment to produce clean gas and replace the air, which is more practical.
