DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0036] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features. Throughout this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0037] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections or electrical connections; direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and internal connections between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0038] On the one hand, if Figure 3-4 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a quick docking device, including multiple docking structures 100 and multiple connecting components 200. Adjacent connecting components 200 are connected through the docking structure 100, and after the docking structure 100 and the connecting component 200 are connected, an accommodating space that can accommodate the column 400 is formed.

[0039] The utility model forms an accommodating space for accommodating a column 400 by surrounding multiple docking structures 100 and multiple connecting components 200. The structure is simple and the docking space can be adapted to columns 400 of different sizes by changing the number of docking structures 100 and connecting components 200, thereby realizing modular assembly of the docking device, facilitating maintenance and transportation, and effectively reducing the cost of use.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, the docking structure 100 includes a first mounting frame 110 and a locking portion connected to the first mounting frame 110 , and at least one end of the docking structure 100 is connected to the connection assembly 200 via the locking portion.

[0041] It should be noted that in the present invention, one end of the docking structure 100 is connected to the connecting component 200 through a locking part, and the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting component 200, or both ends of the docking structure 100 are connected to the connecting component 200 through a locking part, wherein the fixed connection includes but is not limited to welding, screw connection, etc.

[0042] When one end of the docking structure 100 is connected to the connecting assembly 200 via a locking portion and the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting assembly 200, one docking structure 100 and one locking portion form a docking module. By locking and connecting the movable end of the docking structure 100 in one docking module with the connecting assembly 200 of another docking module, multiple docking modules can be assembled to form a storage space capable of accommodating the column 400. In this connection method, due to the fixed connection between the docking structure 100 and the connecting assembly 200, the entire docking device can not only be quickly assembled, but also has better stability.

[0043] When both ends of the docking structure 100 are connected to the connecting assembly 200 via the locking portion, the docking structure 100 and the connecting assembly 200 are two independent components that can be stored separately. In this connection method, since both ends of the docking structure 100 are locked to the connecting assembly 200, modularity is more obvious. When one of the docking structure 100 or the connecting assembly 200 needs to be replaced, it will not affect the other structures. It can achieve quick assembly, lower cost, and more convenient maintenance.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5-6 As shown, the docking structure 100 also includes a second mounting frame 111, a connecting rod mechanism 150 and an operating part 160. The second mounting frame 111 is installed obliquely or vertically on the surface of the first mounting frame 110 close to the column, or the second mounting frame 111 is installed obliquely or vertically on the surface of the first mounting frame 110 close to the clamping part 220. The transmission part of the connecting rod mechanism 150 is movably connected to the first mounting frame 110, and the locking part is connected to the transmission part of the connecting rod mechanism 150.

[0045] Optionally, the locking portion includes a lock body 140 and a lock buckle 141. The lock body 140 is fixed to the first mounting frame 110. The lock buckle 141 is movably connected to the lock body 140 through a connecting rod mechanism 150. Under the action of the connecting rod mechanism, the lock buckle 141 has an extended state and a retracted state relative to the lock body 140.

[0046] Optionally, the connecting rod mechanism 150 can be directly movably connected to the lock buckle 141, and the movement of the connecting rod mechanism 150 can be controlled by the operating part 160, and then the connecting rod mechanism 150 drives the lock buckle 141 to extend or retract relative to the lock body 140 to achieve the clamping or separation of the clamping part 220; or the connecting rod structure 150 can be connected to the lock buckle 141 through an elastic component. When the docking mechanism 100 and the connecting component 200 need to be assembled together, the lock buckle 141 can be locked to the clamping part 220 by simply pushing the clamping part 220. When the docking mechanism 100 and the connecting component 200 need to be separated, the movement of the connecting rod mechanism 150 can be controlled by the operating part 160, and then the connecting rod mechanism 150 drives the lock buckle 141 to retract relative to the lock body 140, that is, the separation of the clamping part 220 relative to the locking part is achieved.

[0047] It should be noted that when the docking mechanism 100 and the connecting assembly 200 need to be assembled together, the clamping portion 220 is moved toward the side close to the first mounting frame 110. After the clamping portion 220 moves to the working position, the locking portion is in an extended state, preventing the clamping portion from moving in the opposite direction to achieve the installation of the connecting assembly 200 and the docking structure 100; when the connecting assembly 200 and the docking structure 100 need to be disassembled, the operating portion 160 is pulled, and the connecting rod mechanism 150 drives the locking portion to be in a retracted state through the action of the connecting rod mechanism 150, so that the clamping portion 220 moves toward the side away from the first mounting frame 110, thereby achieving the separation of the connecting assembly 200 and the docking structure 100.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, the locking portion includes a lock body 140, a lock buckle 141 and an electromagnetic element. The lock body 140 is fixed to the first mounting frame 100, and the lock buckle 141 is movably connected to the lock body 140 through the electromagnetic element. Under the action of the adsorption force or repulsion force of the electromagnetic element, the lock buckle 141 has an extended state and a retracted state relative to the lock body 140.

[0049] It can be understood that relative to the lock buckle 141, the electromagnetic element has an adsorption state or a repulsion state. When the electromagnetic element is in the adsorption state, the lock buckle 141 is in a retracted state relative to the lock body 140. At this time, the clamping part 220 can be moved in any direction. When the electromagnetic element is in the repulsion state, the lock buckle 141 is in an extended state relative to the lock body 140. When the clamping part 220 is in the working position, the assembly of the docking mechanism 100 and the connecting component 200 is achieved by controlling the electromagnetic element to be in the repulsion state.

[0050] It should be noted that there may be one, two or more locking parts, which can be adjusted according to the size of the link frame and are not particularly limited.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 9 As shown, the connection assembly 200 further includes a connection frame 210 , and at least one end of the connection frame 210 is provided with a clamping portion 220 , and when the connection assembly 200 and the docking structure 100 are connected, the clamping portion 220 is clamped with the docking structure 100 .

[0052] It is understandable that in order to make the connection of each docking module more stable and reduce costs, the connecting frame 210 is preferably composed of two parallel connecting rods, the ends of which are connected to the ends of the docking structure 100, and the two connecting rods are respectively arranged in parallel on the upper and lower sides of the docking structure 100. In addition, based on the above two different ways of connecting the two ends of the docking structure 100 with the connecting assembly 200, when one end of the docking structure 100 is connected to the connecting assembly 200 via a locking portion and the other end is fixedly connected to the connecting assembly 200, the clamping portion 220 is only provided at one end of the connecting frame 210. When both ends of the docking structure 100 are connected to the connecting assembly 200 via locking portions, the clamping portion 220 is provided at both ends of the connecting frame 210.

[0053] Optionally, the connecting assembly 200 further includes a guide portion 230, and both ends of the clamping portion 220 are respectively fixed to both sides of the end of the connecting frame 210, and the clamping portion 220 matches the locking portion; the guide portion 230 is provided in the extending direction of the clamping portion 220 and the guide portion 230 is protruded and provided on the outer side of the connecting frame 210;

[0054] It should be noted that the clamping portion 220 is a rod-shaped structure, with both ends of the clamping portion 220 respectively fixed to the inner sides of the two connecting rods. This not only makes the connection assembly 200 more stable as a whole, but also ensures the fixing of the locking portion and the clamping portion 220. In addition, the guide portions 230 protrude and are symmetrically arranged on the outer sides of the two connecting rods, and can be used to quickly position the connection assembly 200 and the docking structure 100.

[0055] Optionally, the docking structure 100 further includes guide members 120 disposed at both ends of the first mounting frame 110, and each guide member 120 defines a guide groove 130 that matches the guide portion 230. Preferably, the cross-sectional area of ​​the guide groove 130 gradually decreases from the engaging portion to the first mounting frame, thereby ensuring a more secure engagement between the guide portion 230 and the guide groove 130.

[0056] It is understood that when the docking mechanism 100 and the connecting assembly 200 need to be assembled together, the guide portion 230 moves along the guide groove 130 toward one side of the docking structure 100. The cooperation between the guide portion 230 and the guide groove 130 allows the docking structure 100 to quickly reach the connected position in the working state. At the same time, the clamping portion 220 also moves toward the side of the docking structure 100. When the guide portion 230 abuts the guide groove 130, the clamping portion 220 reaches the predetermined working position. The lock 141 pops out after the clamping portion 220 moves into place, preventing the clamping portion 220 from moving in the opposite direction, thereby forming a quick connection. When the docking mechanism and the connecting assembly 200 need to be separated, the lock 141 is retracted through the action of the controller or the connecting rod mechanism 150 and the operating portion 160, and the guide portion 230 of the connecting assembly 200 moves out along the guide groove 130. At the same time, the clamping portion 220 moves in the opposite direction of the locking portion, achieving quick separation.

[0057] Optionally, a reinforcement plate 240 can be provided in the middle of the connecting frame 210, and the two sides of the reinforcement plate 240 are respectively fixed to the two connecting rods, and the two ends of the reinforcement plate 240 extend toward the two ends of the connecting rods respectively, and a gap is left between the end of the reinforcement plate 240 and the clamping part 220 so that the lock buckle of the lock body 140 can be fixed to the outside of the clamping part 220.

[0058] On the other hand, Figure 1-2 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention further provides a pole-climbing robot including any of the above-mentioned quick docking devices. The pole-climbing robot also includes a roller 300 frame and rollers 300 mounted on the roller 300 frame. The roller 300 frame is connected to the first mounting frame 110. The rollers 300 drive the entire device to climb along the column 400. Since the pole-climbing robot includes the above-mentioned quick docking device, the pole-climbing robot has all the features and effects of the above-mentioned quick docking device and will not be further elaborated here.

[0059] In summary, the quick docking device of the present invention has a simple structure, which can not only ensure the stability of the overall structural connection, but also achieve rapid assembly of the connection components and the docking structure.

[0060] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and replacements can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and replacements should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
