Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of road maintenance equipment, and in particular provides a road cone robot. Background Art

[0002] The road cone robot is an automated road cone based on a self-propelled base. It has flexible mobility and can adapt to changing road construction needs.

[0003] Currently, common road cone robots on the market feature multiple drive wheels, steering mechanisms, and sensor systems. These robots possess basic mobility and obstacle avoidance capabilities, but most are still in the trial phase. Due to limitations in their self-propelled base structures, stacking multiple robots is difficult, requiring them to be laid flat on separate trucks for transportation. Furthermore, traditional charging methods prevent simultaneous charging of multiple robots. This results in limited practicality for these robots, hindering their further promotion and adoption. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a road cone robot, comprising a self-propelled base, a cover plate, and a cone tube, wherein the cone tube is arranged in the center of the cover plate, and the cover plate is buckled onto the self-propelled base; a cone tube insertion hole is opened in the middle of the self-propelled base; the shape of the cone tube cross section matches the shape of the cone tube insertion hole, and the cone tube is a hollow structure;

[0005] The interior of the self-propelled base is provided with a visual recognition module, a power module, a power supply module, a control module and a wireless signal interaction module;

[0006] The power supply module consists of a battery pack, a connector plug and a connector socket. The battery pack is fixedly installed in the self-propelled base. The connector plug and the connector socket are vertically assembled on the self-propelled base. The connector plug and the connector socket are electrically connected to the battery pack through a power supply line. The connector plug and the connector socket are in parallel.

[0007] Furthermore, the battery pack includes a bottom bracket, a top bracket and batteries, and multiple batteries are evenly distributed between the bottom bracket and the top bracket. The bottom bracket and the top bracket are buckled together to clamp and fix the batteries.

[0008] Furthermore, the four corners of the bottom bracket are provided with connecting holes, and the four corners of the top bracket are provided with connecting columns, and the connecting columns are snap-fitted into the connecting holes in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0009] Furthermore, the surfaces of the bottom bracket and the top bracket are both provided with arc-shaped limit grooves, and the surface of the bottom bracket is provided with a limit flange, which is coaxially distributed with the arc-shaped limit groove. When the bottom bracket and the top bracket are buckled together, the battery is embedded in the arc-shaped limit groove, and both ends of the battery are against the limit flange.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom bracket and the top bracket are both ladder-shaped rectangular frames.

[0011] Furthermore, the visual recognition module adopts a visual camera, and two visual cameras are respectively assembled at the front and rear ends of the self-propelled base.

[0012] Furthermore, the self-propelled base is also equipped with a display screen.

[0013] The beneficial effects of using the utility model are:

[0014] This design opens a cone socket on the self-propelled base, and the cone is a hollow structure. The cone of the square road cone robot passes through the cone socket of the upper road cone robot from bottom to top, realizing vertical stacking of multiple road cone robots.

[0015] This design vertically assembles connector plugs and connector sockets on the self-propelled base. When multiple road cone robots are stacked vertically, the connector plug or connector socket of the lower road cone robot is plugged into the connector socket or connector plug of the upper road cone robot. The connector plug or connector socket of the road cone robot at the top or bottom is then plugged into the connector socket or connector plug of the external power supply unit, thus realizing parallel charging of multiple road cone robots.

[0016] This design uses a battery pack fixed by a bracket. The battery pack has good shock resistance and can be easily installed with a thermal insulation cover according to the use environment. The bare battery pack has a good heat dissipation effect, and after installing the thermal insulation cover, it can also adapt to low-temperature working environments.
