Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of inspection robots, in particular to a land and air inspection robot. Background Art
[0002] With technological advancements, intelligent robots are becoming increasingly popular. In factories, they are replacing repetitive and dangerous tasks, effectively freeing up operations and maintenance personnel. Furthermore, robots can detect equipment anomalies invisible to the human eye, effectively ensuring site safety.
[0003] Existing inspection robots include land inspection robots and aerial inspection robots, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Aerial inspection robots can overlook the entire inspection area, quickly scan large areas, and promptly identify potential safety hazards. Aerial inspection robots are highly flexible and unrestricted by terrain, allowing them to fly freely in complex and ever-changing environments and conduct flexible inspections. However, their operation is limited by weather conditions. For example, severe weather such as strong winds and heavy rain may prevent drones from flying normally. Compared to aerial inspection robots, land inspection robots operate more stably on the ground and are less susceptible to natural factors such as wind. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a land and air inspection robot, which can run on the ground or fly in the air during the inspection process.
[0005] The utility model provides the following technical solution: a land and air inspection robot, comprising a base, a driving wheel connected to the base, a through hole provided on the base, a motor 1 fixedly connected to the inside of the base, a rotating shaft 1 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 1, the rotating shaft 1 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the through hole, a shell is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 1, a rotating mechanism is fixedly connected to the shell, a camera is fixedly connected to the rotating mechanism, support rods are fixedly connected to the four corners of the base, a flying mechanism is fixedly connected to the support rods, and a support assembly is fixedly connected to the lower end of the base.

[0007] Furthermore, the flight mechanism includes a second motor fixedly connected to the front end of the support rod, an output end of the second motor is fixedly connected to a third rotating shaft, and a blade is fixedly connected to the third rotating shaft.
[0008] Furthermore, three L-shaped connecting rods in a circumferential array are fixedly connected to the outer side of the second motor, the upper ends of the three L-shaped connecting rods are fixedly connected to an annular tube, and a plurality of blocking rods are fixedly connected to the annular tube.
[0009] Furthermore, there are two support assemblies, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the base.
[0010] Furthermore, the support assembly includes two multi-stage electric telescopic rods fixedly connected to the inside of the base, the output ends of the two multi-stage electric telescopic rods are located below the base, and the output ends of the two multi-stage electric telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the support plate.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] This type of land and air inspection robot can move on the ground by driving the driving wheels. When the terrain conditions are poor or the inspection range is wide, the support mechanism can be raised and the motor one can be driven to rotate the camera downward.

[0017] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0018] See also Figures 1 to 3A land and air inspection robot includes a base 1, a driving wheel 2 is connected to the base 1, a through hole 3 is provided on the base 1, a motor 4 is fixedly connected to the inside of the base 1, the output end of the motor 4 is fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 5, the rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the through hole 3, a shell 6 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 5, a rotating mechanism is fixedly connected to the shell 6, a camera 7 is fixedly connected to the rotating mechanism, support rods 8 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the base 1, a flight mechanism is fixedly connected to the support rods 8, and a support assembly is fixedly connected to the lower end of the base 1.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the land and air inspection robot in the present invention can be moved on the ground and three wheels by driving the driving wheel 2 when in use, so as to detect the area passed by, and the rotating shaft 5 is rotated by driving the motor 1 4, thereby changing the tilt angle of the shell 6, and then driving the forward and reverse motor 9 to rotate the rotating shaft 2 10, so that the camera 7 can be rotated, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the camera 7 and allowing the camera 7 to change the inspection direction. When the terrain is complex and it is not suitable to move on the ground, or a wider inspection range is required, the multi-stage motor can be driven first. The telescopic rod 17 is moved, and the multi-stage electric telescopic rod 17 becomes longer, so that the support plate 18 contacts the ground and the base 1 is lifted up. According to the above operation, the camera 7 can be rotated downward so that the camera 7 is located below the base 1. Through the controller in the base 1, the motor 2 11 is driven to rotate the shaft 3 12, so that the blade 13 rotates highly, so that the entire inspection robot can fly, which is the same as the principle of a drone, so that various areas can be inspected from the air. It should be noted that the operation mode of the drive wheel 2 is the front-wheel drive mode, and the through hole 3 provided will not affect the operation of the drive wheel 2.
[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, the rotation mechanism includes a forward and reverse motor 9 fixedly connected to the inside of the shell 6, and the output end of the forward and reverse motor 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 2 10. The front end of the rotating shaft 2 10 passes through the upper end of the shell 6, and the rotating shaft 2 10 is rotationally connected to the shell 6, and the camera 7 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating shaft 2 10.
[0021] Specifically, the drive motor 1 4 rotates the shaft 1 5, thereby changing the tilt angle of the shell 6, and then drives the forward and reverse motor 9 to rotate the shaft 2 10, so that the camera 7 can rotate, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the camera 7 and allowing the camera 7 to change the inspection direction.
[0022] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 or Figure 3As shown, the flight mechanism includes a second motor 11 fixedly connected to the front end of the support rod 8, the output end of the second motor 11 is fixedly connected to a third shaft 12, and the third shaft 12 is fixedly connected to a blade 13.
[0023] Specifically, after the support assembly is raised and the position of the camera 7 is adjusted, the motor 2 11 is driven to rotate the shaft 3 12, thereby causing the blade 13 to rotate to a high degree, so that the entire inspection robot can fly.
[0024] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown, three L-shaped connecting rods 14 in a circumferential array are fixedly connected to the outer side of the motor 2 11 , and the upper ends of the three L-shaped connecting rods 14 are fixedly connected to an annular tube 15 , and a plurality of blocking rods 16 are fixedly connected to the annular tube 15 .
[0025] Specifically, the L-shaped connecting rod 14, the annular tube 15 and the blocking rod 16 work together to prevent the inspection robot from colliding with obstacles when moving on the ground, causing damage to the blades 13 and affecting flight.
[0026] As shown Figure 1 、 Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown, there are two support assemblies, which are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the base 1.
[0027] Specifically, the two supporting components jointly support the base 1 .
[0028] As shown Figure 1 、 Figure 2 or Figure 3 As shown, the support assembly includes two multi-stage electric telescopic rods 17 fixedly connected to the inside of the base 1, the output ends of the two multi-stage electric telescopic rods 17 are located below the base 1, and the output ends of the two multi-stage electric telescopic rods 17 are fixedly connected to a support plate 18.
[0029] Specifically, the multi-stage electric telescopic rod 17 is driven, and the multi-stage electric telescopic rod 17 becomes longer, so that the support plate 18 contacts the ground, and the base 1 is lifted up, so as to leave enough gap between the base 1 and the ground, so that the camera 7 can be rotated from the top of the base 1 to the bottom of the base 1, so that after the inspection robot flies up, it can better inspect the area below. When it is necessary to use this inspection robot on land, after adjustment, the multi-stage electric telescopic rod 17 is retracted, so that the upper surface of the support plate 18 is in contact with the lower surface of the base 1, and the lower surface of the support plate 18 is above the ground.
[0030] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
