[0001] The utility model relates to the field of blast furnace tuyere inspection, in particular to a blast furnace tuyere inspection robot. Background Art

[0002] An existing patent (publication number: CN115420424B) proposes an inspection robot, which includes an assembly platform with a groove that matches the appearance of a blast furnace tuyere pipe fitting, a guide rail installed on the side of the assembly platform away from the blast furnace tuyere, and an outer protective rod vertically arranged in the axial direction of the blast furnace tuyere. By continuously turning the screw handle, the fixed end metal strap and the movable end metal strap can be gradually tightened to firmly fix the assembly platform on the outer wall of the blast furnace tuyere pipe fitting. However, this device "can be replaced with support rods of different lengths for blast furnace tuyeres of different lengths, and matched with assembly platforms of corresponding lengths." The length of the support rod is limited, which limits the depth that this device can inspect during inspection operations, thereby affecting the detection range of this device. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In response to the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a blast furnace tuyere inspection robot. When performing blast furnace tuyere inspection operations, the telescopic length of an electric telescopic rod can be adjusted according to the inner diameter of the blast furnace tuyere, thereby changing the spacing between each side moving wheel mounting block, so that the device can adapt to inspection operations of blast furnace tuyere with different radii. At the same time, the side moving wheel mounting blocks on one side are connected to an upper Mecanum wheel and a lower Mecanum wheel. Through the coordinated movement of all the upper Mecanum wheels and the lower Mecanum wheels, the device can rise or fall freely in the blast furnace tuyere and can also rotate left and right. Therefore, the device has an unlimited detection depth during inspection and a wider detection range.

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A blast furnace tuyere inspection robot comprises a main support platform, an electric telescopic rod, a main support leg, a cross rod connecting slider, a detection camera, a side moving wheel mounting block, an upper drive motor, a lower drive motor, an upper Mecanum wheel, a lower Mecanum wheel, and a middle bearing block.

[0006] The top telescopic rod of the electric telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the upper telescopic rod mounting platform, the inside of the cross positioning rod is provided with an inner slide rod mounting groove, the end of the cross positioning rod is provided with an outer slide rod mounting platform, the end of the cross positioning rod is provided with a middle bearing block, the middle bearing block has a mounting slide rod on the side facing the cross positioning rod, the mounting slide rod is adapted to the inner slide rod mounting groove, the mounting slide rod is connected to the inner slide rod mounting groove, the mounting slide rod slides inside the inner slide rod mounting groove, the top of the middle bearing block is provided with an outer positioning slide rod, the outer positioning slide rod is adapted to the outer slide rod mounting platform, and the outer positioning slide rod is connected to the outer slide rod mounting platform.

[0007] Beneficial effects: 1. When the utility model is used for blast furnace tuyere inspection, the telescopic length of the electric telescopic rod can be adjusted according to the inner diameter of the blast furnace tuyere, thereby changing the spacing between the side moving wheel mounting blocks, so that the device can adapt to the inspection of blast furnace tuyere with different radii. At the same time, the side moving wheel mounting blocks on one side are connected to the upper Mecanum wheel and the lower Mecanum wheel. Through the movement coordination of all the upper Mecanum wheels and the lower Mecanum wheels, the device can rise or fall at will in the blast furnace tuyere, and can also rotate left and right, so that the detection depth of the device is not restricted during detection, and the detection range is wider.

[0008] 2. The spring connecting block of the utility model is connected to the outer slide rod mounting platform through a spring, so that when the device encounters some obstacles during inspection inside the blast furnace tuyere, the spring can be extended, so that the device can cross over some obstacles, thereby ensuring the detection effect of the device when facing complex situations.

[0009] 3. The utility model has a single-sided side wheel mounting block connected to both the upper and lower Mecanum wheels. When the upper and lower Mecanum wheels move in the same direction, the resulting lateral force on the side wheel mounting block is zero, and the side wheel mounting block is subject to only a longitudinal force. When the upper and lower Mecanum wheels move in opposite directions, the resulting longitudinal force on the side wheel mounting block is zero, and the side wheel mounting block is subject to only a lateral force. This ensures that the forces on each side wheel mounting block are equal when the device is raised or lowered, and when it is rotated, preventing the device from tipping over due to unbalanced forces during movement, making the operation of the device more stable.

[0010] 4. The electric telescopic rod of the utility model drives the main support legs to lift and lower through a cross rod connecting the slider. The main support platform, the electric telescopic rod and the main support legs form a triangular structure, which has stronger overall stability and better support effect.
