[0034] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0035] See below Figures 1-6 The intelligent inspection robot of the present invention is described in detail.
[0036] The intelligent inspection robot of the present utility model is composed of a robot chassis part 100, an acoustic and optical working part 200, a water spray cleaning part 300, a lifting part 400 and a monitoring and alarm part 500.
[0037] like Figure 2As shown, the robot chassis 100 primarily consists of all-terrain wheels a 101a, b 101b, an engine 102, a loading compartment 103, a steering system 104, a discharge port 105, a baffle 106, a chute 107, a fixed connecting rod 108, a rear electric push rod 109, and a distance sensor 110. All-terrain wheels a 101a rotate and move under the drive of the engine 102, while all-terrain wheels b 101b are controlled by the steering system 104, enabling real-time steering and automated tracking inspections. A discharge port 105 is located at the rear of the loading carriage 103. The interior of the loading carriage 103 houses the electronic control unit and carries slaked lime near the discharge port 105. A baffle 106 is welded to a fixed connecting rod 108, which is secured to a rear electric push rod 109. The base of the rear electric push rod 109 is secured to the rear bottom of the loading carriage 103 via screws and nuts. The movement of the rear electric push rod 109 drives the baffle 106 up and down, opening and closing the discharge port 105. This allows for the timely discharge of slaked lime, thus fulfilling the construction marking function. A chute 107 is connected to the discharge port 105 and extends outside the loading carriage 103. A distance sensor 110 is mounted on the rear side of the loading carriage 103, above the discharge port 105. It measures the distance between the robot chassis 110 and any obstacles behind it, ensuring the robot's safety.
[0038] The robot chassis 100 primarily consists of an engine 102, all-terrain wheels, and a loading compartment 103, serving as the underlying framework that supports the entire robot. A baffle 106 is connected to a rear electric push rod 109 via a fixed connecting rod 108. The raising and lowering of the rear electric push rod 109 drives the baffle 106 up and down, enabling material discharge and closing, thus achieving intelligent marking functionality.
[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, the sound and light operating unit 200 is mounted in front of the robot chassis 100. It primarily consists of speaker a 201a, speaker b 201b, motor 202, gear 203, half-gear ring 204, rotating shaft 205, searchlight 206, and lidar sensor 207. Speakers a 201a and b 201b are mounted on the front exterior of the loading compartment 103 and are used to remotely broadcast emergency information. Motor 202 has an interference fit with gear 203 and drives it to rotate. Searchlight 206 is fixed to rotating shaft 205, which is rotatably mounted on searchlight base 208. Half-gear ring 204 is welded to a suitable position on rotating shaft 205, ensuring that its upper half gear meshes with gear 203 in a coplanar manner. When motor 202 is powered, gear 203 drives half-gear ring 204 to rotate, adjusting the illumination direction of searchlight 206. The laser radar sensor 207 is installed around the loading compartment 103 to detect the surrounding environment and cooperate with the searchlight 206 and the speakers a201a and b201b to realize the efficient collection and utilization of information.
[0040] The sound and light working part 200 is illuminated by a searchlight 206 and a loudspeaker to transmit sound information over a long distance. A laser radar sensor 207 and a distance sensor 110 are installed outside the loading compartment 103 to cooperate with various mechanisms to achieve precise work.
[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the water spray cleaning part 300 is mainly composed of a small electric push rod a301a, a small electric push rod b301b, a rotating brush a302a, a rotating brush b302b, a water storage tank 303, a regulating valve 304, a horizontal water pump 305, a fixed interface 306, a water spray gun 307, and an infrared laser sensor 308. The small electric push rods a301a and b301b are installed in reverse, and their bases are fixed to the front bottom of the loading compartment 103 by screws and nuts. The rotating brushes a302a and b302b are installed below the small electric push rods a301a and b301b respectively. When the infrared laser sensor 308, which is also set at the bottom, detects that the brushes are expanded due to pressure, the operation of the small electric push rods a301a and b301b is immediately stopped to prevent the small electric push rods from overextending and causing the robot to tip over or the front side to bulge. A water tank 303 is mounted on the side of the loading compartment 103 and connected to a horizontal water pump 305 via a water pipe. A regulating valve 304 on the water tank 303 adjusts the water flow. The muzzle of the water spray gun 307 consists of a circle of small holes and a large opening at the center. The water outlet of the horizontal water pump 305 is connected to a water pipe connected to the fixed interface 306 of the water spray gun 307, enabling the water spray gun 307 to spray water outward with moderate intensity. The rotating brush is driven and extended by a small electric push rod, and in conjunction with the water spray gun 307, it achieves multiple, efficient cleaning operations, first spraying water and then scrubbing with the brush. The horizontal water pump 305 and the water spray gun 307 are located on the lifting part 400 and connected by a water pipe. They work in conjunction with the surveillance camera to spray water at a designated location.
[0042] like Figure 5As shown, the lifting unit 400 is mounted on top of the robot chassis 100 and primarily comprises a lead screw motor a401a, a lead screw motor b401b, connecting sliders a402a and b402b, a scissor bracket 403, and track channels a404a and b404b. Track channel a404a is positioned below track channel b404b, with the scissor bracket 403 positioned between track channels a404a and b404b. Lead screw motors a401a and b401b are coaxially coupled to connecting sliders a402a and b402b, respectively, allowing them to move back and forth on the screws connected to lead screw motors a401a and b401b, respectively, driven by the motors. The bottom of the scissor bracket 403 rests on the track of track channel a404a. One end of the bottom is fixed to a suitable position on track channel a404a, and the other end is connected to connecting sliders a402a and b402b via a welded column tube. The horizontal back-and-forth motion of connecting sliders a402a and b402b driven by screw motors a401a and b401b is converted into vertical up and down movement of the scissor bracket 403, thereby achieving the lifting of the lifting section 400. Track channel b404b is used to support the upper working section and fix the upper end of the scissor bracket 403. The two maintain the same horizontal position, thereby stabilizing the lifting.
[0043] like Figure 6As shown, the monitoring and alarm unit 500 is mounted on the lifting unit 400 and primarily comprises an alarm light 501, surveillance cameras a502a and b502b, attitude sensors a503a and b503b, pan / tilt motors a504a and b504b, couplings a505a and b505b, and a rotating platform 506. The alarm light 501 features color indication and a buzzer alarm, sounding in emergencies. Normally, it is powered on to sound an alarm. Surveillance cameras a502a and b502b are secured to pan / tilt motors a504a and b504b via screws and nuts. These motors are in transmission connection with rotating platform 506 via couplings a505a and b505b and a transmission mechanism. When powered, pan / tilt motors a504a and b504b rotate, driving surveillance cameras a502a and b502b. This, combined with rotating platform 506, enables multi-angle operation and a wide monitoring range. A water spray gun 307 is mounted on rotating platform 506 to spray water at a designated location. The posture sensor a503a and the posture sensor b503b are fixed directly below the surveillance camera a502a and the surveillance camera b502b by hot melt adhesive so as to read the position information of the surveillance camera, thereby adjusting the pan-tilt motor a504a and the pan-tilt motor b504b to make the surveillance camera a502a and the surveillance camera b502b face the accurate position.
[0044] Below, refer to Figures 1-6 Combined with the description of the above structural features, the working principle of the intelligent inspection robot of the present invention is described in detail.
[0045] 1. Assemble the device according to the above structure, and install the small electric push rod a301a, small electric push rod b301b, rear electric push rod 109, ranging sensor 110, infrared laser sensor 308 and other components on the appropriate positions of the outer shell of the robot chassis 100 by means of screws, nuts and hot melt adhesive. Initially, all electric push rods are in a retracted state, the machine start sensor is always turned on, keep the loading compartment 103 loaded with sufficient slaked lime material, keep the water tank 303 filled with water, all motors can work normally, and the monitoring camera a502a and the monitoring camera b502b are turned on.
[0046] Second, remote control operates screw motors a401a and b401b, driving scissor lift 403 to the desired height and stopping via connecting sliders a402a and b402b. PTZ motors a504a and b504b are then adjusted to display the desired image for surveillance cameras a502a and b502b. During disaster relief or cleaning, surveillance cameras a502a and b502b are controlled to observe the environment, and horizontal water pump 305 is activated to direct water spray gun 307 to spray water in a desired direction. Once completed, small electric push rods a301a and b301b are activated to move rotating brushes a302a and b302b to the ground, and rotating brushes a302a and b302b are activated to rotate and clean the surface.
[0047] 3. When lighting, the remote control controls the motor 202 to rotate, the gear 203 and the half gear ring 204 engage and transmit, the shaft 205 drives the searchlight 206 to rotate toward the specified range and the motor 202 stops.
[0048] The above is only a specific implementation method of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to this.
