[0024] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0026] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , which is the first embodiment of the present utility model, provides a heat dissipation mechanism that can dynamically adjust the heat dissipation fan to improve the heat dissipation efficiency. It includes a heat dissipation component 100 and a support component 200.

[0029] Specifically, the heat dissipation assembly 100 includes a first heat dissipation fan 101, a slide rail 102, a motor 103, and a second heat dissipation fan 104. The first heat dissipation fan 101 slides with the slide rail 102, the motor 103 is fixedly arranged on one side of the slide rail 102, and the second heat dissipation fan 104 is fixedly arranged on the inner wall of the cover 204; the support assembly 200 includes a support frame 201, a chassis 202, and a steering wheel 203. The support frame 201 is fixedly arranged on both sides of the heat dissipation assembly 100, the chassis 202 is fixedly arranged on one side of the heat dissipation assembly 100, and the steering wheel 203 is fixedly arranged on one side of the chassis 202.

[0030] The heat dissipation assembly 100 and the support assembly 200 are both disposed in a cover 204 to protect the heat dissipation assembly 100 and the support assembly 200 and prevent dust from falling and affecting the operation of electronic components.

[0031] Furthermore, the heat dissipation assembly 100 also includes a third cooling fan 105, which is fixedly arranged on both sides of the chassis 202. Two third cooling fans 105 are provided and are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the cover 204. An ordinary motor is provided on one side of the third cooling fan 105. When the ordinary motor is driven, the central shaft of the third cooling fan 105 will be driven to move, thereby driving the entire blade to rotate, thereby dissipating heat for electronic components near the third cooling fan 105, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0032] Among them, the first cooling fan 101 slides with the slide rail 102 through the connecting block 101a. When the motor is driven, the connecting block 101a will move up and down on the slide rail 102, and the first cooling fan 101 fixedly connected to it will also move up and down accordingly. In this way, the position of the first cooling fan 101 can be dynamically adjusted according to the cooling needs of different electronic devices to achieve the best cooling effect, making the cooling more balanced and efficient.

[0033] Preferably, the motor 103 is a screw-nut motor. The screw-nut motor drive mode usually has high precision and stability, which can ensure the accuracy and stability of the first cooling fan 101 during movement and reduce the impact of mechanical vibration or impact on other internal components of the robot.

[0034] The steering wheels 203 include auxiliary wheels 203a and universal wheels 203b. There are four auxiliary wheels 203a, located at the four corners of the bottom side of the chassis 202. There are two universal wheels 203b, fixed between the two auxiliary wheels 203a on the same side. When the robot is in operation, the internal controller drives the steering wheels 203 to roll and turn to reach the target position.

[0035] During use, the first cooling fan 101 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 102 and driven up and down along the slide rail 102 by the motor 103. This allows the first cooling fan 101 to move up and down within the housing 204. By driving the first cooling fan 101 up and down along the slide rail 102 with the motor 103, the first cooling fan 101 can more flexibly move closer to or further away from the robot's internal heat sources. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the heat dissipation components to more effectively dissipate heat in high-temperature areas, thereby improving overall heat dissipation efficiency. The up and down movement of the first cooling fan 101 also means it can cover a wider area, ensuring that all key components within the robot are properly cooled and preventing performance degradation or damage caused by localized overheating. The first cooling fan 101 works in conjunction with the third cooling fan 105 to more effectively disperse and dissipate heat generated within the robot. Distributing the third cooling fan 105 on both sides of the robot, especially under high load or long-term operation, helps create a more balanced heat dissipation layout. This layout reduces heat accumulation within the robot, improves heat transfer efficiency, and ensures that all areas within the robot receive good heat dissipation.

[0036] In summary, the sliding installation of the first cooling fan 101 and the coordinated use of the first cooling fan 101 and the third cooling fan 105 improve the overall cooling efficiency.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 , which is the second embodiment of the present utility model. Different from the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides a robot that solves the problem that only on-duty personnel cannot make quick and accurate decisions on various emergencies in power station operations. It includes a host 300, a display screen 400, a camera 500 and a radar 600.

[0039] Specifically, the host 300 is fixedly arranged inside the cover 204 , the display screen 400 is fixedly arranged on one side of the heat dissipation assembly 100 , the camera 500 is fixedly arranged on the upper part of the display screen 400 , and the radar 600 is fixedly arranged on one side of the chassis 202 .

[0040] Furthermore, the host 300 and the display screen 400 are electrically connected, and the host 300 serves as a core control unit, responsible for processing the point information input by the user and storing text, pictures, and videos.

[0041] The display screen 400 is used to display the status and sensor data of the robot and is connected to the host 300 via an HDMI interface.

[0042] Camera 500 includes an infrared camera 501 and a thermal imaging camera 502, connected to host 300 via an HDMI interface. The infrared camera 501, a FLIRA310 model, monitors the temperature of key components within the inspection area, including electrical equipment, cables, and busbars. This non-contact temperature measurement promptly identifies and reports potential overheating risks. The infrared camera 501 transmits analog video signals via a BNC interface and digital signals via an AV interface. The thermal imaging camera 502, a FLIR E4 or DJI Zenmuse XT model, detects heat and converts it into images, transferring data via a USB 2.0 interface.

[0043] Radar 600 includes an obstacle avoidance radar 601 and a ranging radar 602. Obstacle avoidance radar 601 uses the LE-50821F / FA and connects to host 300 via a UART interface to transmit digital signals. Ranging radar 602 uses the TF02-Pro-W model and connects to host 300 via a CAN bus to transmit digital or analog signals.

[0044] During operation, the robot, driven by a motor, continuously maneuvers within the power station using steering wheels 203 to assist on-duty personnel. During automated inspections, the ranging radar 602 measures the distance between the robot and pre-set target points to help the robot determine its position. Combined with data from the obstacle avoidance radar 601, this helps the robot plan an optimal route. The obstacle avoidance radar 601 detects obstacles in the surrounding environment by emitting high-frequency electromagnetic waves and receiving their reflected signals, ensuring the robot can automatically avoid them and replan its route. During this process, when the infrared camera 501 detects that the temperature in a certain area exceeds a preset safety threshold, an alarm is immediately triggered. This alarm signal is not only emitted locally by the robot but is also sent to the administrator's mobile app via wireless network, ensuring that the administrator receives immediate notification and responds. The thermal imaging camera 502 uses thermal images of people in the inspection area and, using AI algorithms, determines whether they are wearing helmets. Those not wearing helmets are immediately marked by the camera and a reminder is issued through the robot's built-in voice system, prompting them to wear helmets.

[0045] In summary, through the coordinated use of various electronic devices, work efficiency and accuracy are improved, and automation and intelligence are achieved.
