The features limited by "first" and "second" can be explicitly or implicitly included one or more features. In the description of the utility model, unless otherwise stated, the meaning of "a plurality of" is two or more.

[0043] In the description of the utility model, it should be pointed out that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection" and "connection" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected, it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected, it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be connected inside two elements. For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0044] The embodiments of the utility model are described in detail below, and the examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference signs represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the utility model, and cannot be understood as limiting the utility model.

[0045] Figure 1 The structure diagram of the self-cleaning investigation ball provided by the utility model is shown in the figure. Figure 2 The structure diagram of the telescopic cleaner in the utility model is shown in the figure. Figure 3 The structure diagram of the self-cleaning investigation ball provided by the utility model is shown in the figure.

[0046] The following refers to Figures 1-3 The self-cleaning investigation ball provided by the utility model embodiment is described, which comprises: the investigation ball body 100 with driving wheels on both sides and the tail support structure 110 driving wheel connected with the investigation ball body 100; 120, further comprising: telescopic support structure 200, the telescopic support structure 200 is used for supporting the investigation ball body 100, so that the self-cleaning investigation ball body 100 is suspended;

[0047] Telescopic cleaner 300, telescopic cleaner 300 and support structure fixed connection;

[0048] wherein, in the cleaning state, the height of the telescopic support structure 200 is greater than the radius of the drive wheel, so that the drive wheel is lifted off the ground to achieve suspension; in the walking state, the height of the telescopic support structure 200 is less than the radius of the drive wheel, to ensure normal walking of the investigation ball;

[0049] wherein, in the cleaning state, the telescopic cleaner 300 is attached to the drive wheel of the investigation ball body 100, and the drive wheel is idling to clean; in the walking state, the telescopic cleaner 300 is shortened and located inside the telescopic support structure 200.

[0050] Specifically, in the cleaning state, the height of the telescopic support structure 200 is greater than the radius of the drive wheel, so that the drive wheel is lifted off the ground to achieve suspension. At the same time, the telescopic cleaner 300 is attached to the surface of the drive wheel, and the drive wheel is idling to clean. In the walking state, the telescopic support structure 200 is shortened to a height less than the radius of the drive wheel, to ensure that the investigation ball can walk normally; at this time, the telescopic cleaner 300 is shortened and located inside the support structure, without affecting the movement of the investigation ball.

[0051] The telescopic support structure 200 is stretched when cleaning is needed, so that the drive wheel is lifted off the ground to reduce resistance and improve cleaning efficiency. The drive wheel drives the dirt attached to the surface to fall off when idling. Since the cleaning element 330 of the telescopic cleaner 300 is attached to the surface of the drive wheel, the dirt can be effectively removed. In the walking state, the support structure is contracted, and the investigation ball restores the ground walking ability, avoiding the influence of the cleaning device on the investigation function.

[0052] Further, the utility model provides a kind of efficient self-cleaning mechanism, solve the problem that traditional investigation equipment is attached in the field or complex environment Dirt affects walking performance. The telescopic support structure 200 is used to achieve the suspension and free cleaning of the drive wheel, while avoiding complex manual cleaning process, increase the autonomy and environmental adaptability of equipment. In addition, the design prolongs the service life of the equipment, and reduces maintenance frequency and cost.

[0053] Please continue to participate Figure 2As shown, the telescopic support structure 200 includes: a telescopic support rod 210, one end of the telescopic support rod 210 is fixedly connected with the tail support structure 110 drive wheel; 120, a base 220 is fixedly arranged at the free end of the telescopic support rod 210; wherein, the telescopic support rod 210 is connected with the fixed end of the tail support structure 110 drive wheel; 120, the telescopic support rod 210 is provided with an included angle; the telescopic cleaner 300 is installed on the telescopic support rod 210, which is convenient for cleaning work.

[0054] Specifically, the structure of the telescopic support rod 210 realizes the stable support of the investigation ball. When the support rod is fully extended, the setting of the included angle provides additional support stability to prevent the investigation ball body 100 from toppling over. The connection mode of the base 220 also ensures the safety and reliability of the overall structure during use. At the same time, the cleaner installed on the support rod can be adjusted according to the position of the ball body to improve the cleaning efficiency.

[0055] It should be noted that the telescopic support rod 210 with an included angle design improves the support stability of the investigation ball, especially in the cleaning state, which can effectively prevent overturning. In addition, the base 220 provides a firm support surface, increases the friction with the environment, and thus improves the overall stability of the device. The telescopic support rod 210 can be designed as different telescopic mechanisms, such as an electric telescopic rod or a hydraulic support rod, to cope with various working conditions. The material and shape of the base 220 can also be changed, such as adding a rubber buffer layer or using a lighter and more wear-resistant alloy material, to further optimize the support performance and mobility.

[0056] According to an embodiment of the utility model embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the free ends of the base 220 and the tail support structure 110 drive wheel; 120 are provided with a friction layer 230 to improve the stability of the investigation ball in the cleaning and support state. The setting of the friction layer 230 improves the contact force between the base 220 and the ground, preventing the investigation ball from sliding during cleaning. The friction layer 230 of the tail support structure 110 drive wheel; 120 further enhances the overall anti-skid effect, especially on slopes or slippery surfaces, which can significantly improve the safety of the device.

[0057] Specifically, the friction layer 230 significantly improves the grip performance and operation stability of the investigation ball, enabling it to adapt to various complex terrains and maintain good support effect. This design also reduces the risk of slipping of the support structure, further improving the self-cleaning function of the device.

[0058] It is worth noting that the friction layer 230 can be made of different high-friction materials, such as special rubber or wear-resistant polymers. According to different use environments, adsorption or vacuum adsorption functions can also be added as needed to ensure that the support effect is more stable.

[0059] According to an embodiment of the present application, the telescopic support rod 210 is a pneumatic telescopic rod. The telescopic support rod 210 adopts a pneumatic telescopic rod. The pneumatic telescopic rod adjusts the height by air pressure, realizing the smooth conversion of the investigation ball between the cleaning state and the walking state.

[0060] Specifically, the pneumatic telescopic rod uses compressed gas as driving force, and controls the height of the telescopic rod by changing the air pressure. When it is needed to enter the cleaning state, the pneumatic system pressurizes to make the support rod elongate, and lifts and suspends the investigation ball body 100. Correspondingly, when it is needed to restore the walking state, the air pressure is lowered to make the support rod shorten, and the investigation ball body 100 recontacts the ground. The pneumatic telescopic rod has fast response speed and controllable height, and meets the demand of the equipment for precise adjustment. The advantage of using the pneumatic telescopic rod is that it has fast, efficient and accurate height adjustment capability, and has long service life and low maintenance cost. In addition, the impact force generated when the pneumatic system operates is small, which will not cause damage to the investigation ball body 100, and the overall design is more durable and reliable.

[0061] It is worth mentioning that the pneumatic telescopic rod can be replaced by a hydraulic or electric telescopic device according to actual conditions, to adapt to different working conditions and application requirements. The hydraulic system provides higher support force, and the electric device is more suitable for fine control. In addition, the material of the pneumatic telescopic rod can be selected from lightweight alloy or high-strength composite material, to further reduce the weight and improve the durability.

[0062] Please continue to see Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 3, according to another embodiment of the present application, the telescopic cleaner 300 includes an outer cylinder 300, two inner rods 320 and a driving member 340. The outer cylinder 300 is fixedly connected with the telescopic support rod 210, and the two inner rods 320 are respectively slidingly installed at two ends of the outer cylinder 300. The free end of each inner rod 320 is provided with a cleaning member 330. The driving member 340 is fixed on the outer cylinder 300, and is used to drive the inner rod 320 to move back and forth along the axial direction, thereby realizing the cleaning function. The telescopic cleaner 300 drives the inner rod 320 to slide back and forth along the axial direction in the outer cylinder 300 through the driving member 340, so that the cleaning member 330 tightly contacts the surface of the driving wheel to clean. When the cleaner is in the working state, the driving force generated by the driving member 340 makes the inner rod 320 expand and apply appropriate pressure, thereby efficiently removing the dirt attached to the driving wheel. After the cleaning operation is completed, the inner rod 320 is retracted into the outer cylinder 300, which does not affect the normal walking of the investigation ball.

[0063] Specifically, the telescopic cleaner 300 is compact in structure and can be retracted when not in use, thereby saving space and reducing the impact on the movement performance of the investigation ball. The driving member 340 can precisely control the movement of the inner rod 320, ensuring the cleaning efficiency and effect. In addition, the cleaning member 330 can be replaced according to different types of dirt, further improving the versatility of the device.

[0064] Please continue to see Figure 2 As shown in the figure, according to another embodiment of the present application, the telescopic cleaner 300 includes an outer cylinder 300, two inner rods 320 and a driving member 340. The outer cylinder 300 is fixedly connected with the telescopic support rod 210, and the two inner rods 320 are respectively slidably installed at both ends of the outer cylinder 300. The free end of each inner rod 320 is provided with a cleaning member 330. The driving member 340 is fixed on the outer cylinder 300 and is used to drive the inner rod 320 to move back and forth along the axial direction, thereby realizing the cleaning function.

[0065] Specifically, the telescopic cleaner 300 drives the inner rod 320 to slide back and forth along the axial direction in the outer cylinder 300 through the driving member 340, so that the cleaning member 330 closely adheres to the surface of the driving wheel for cleaning. When the cleaner is in working condition, the driving force generated by the driving member 340 makes the inner rod 320 expand and apply appropriate pressure, thereby efficiently removing the dirt attached to the driving wheel. After the cleaning operation is completed, the inner rod 320 is retracted into the outer cylinder 300, which does not affect the normal walking of the investigation ball.

[0066] It is worth mentioning that the telescopic cleaner 300 is compact in structure and can be retracted when not in use, thereby saving space and reducing the impact on the movement performance of the investigation ball. The driving member 340 can precisely control the movement of the inner rod 320, ensuring the cleaning efficiency and effect. In addition, the cleaning member 330 can be replaced according to different types of dirt, further improving the versatility of the device. The cleaning member 330 can be selected in different forms according to the environmental needs, for example, using bristles, soft cleaning pads or water-absorbing materials to adapt to various dirt. The driving member 340 can adopt a motor or a manual device, and the specific selection depends on the energy supply and operation convenience of the device.

[0067] Please continue to see Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown in the figure, according to an optional embodiment of the present application, the cleaning member 330 is a cleaning scraper, and the cleaning scraper is detachably installed at the free end of the inner rod 320. This design allows different cleaning scrapers to be replaced according to the needs of use, enhancing the applicability of the device. The cleaning scraper is installed at the free end of the inner rod 320 and closely adheres to the driving wheel. When the driving member 340 drives the inner rod 320 to slide, the cleaning scraper scrapes off the dirt on the surface of the driving wheel. The detachable design of the cleaning scraper makes it convenient to replace, and the user can select the appropriate scraper material or shape according to the actual cleaning needs to achieve the best cleaning effect.

[0068] Specifically, the detachable cleaning scraper provides convenience for maintenance and replacement, and can be flexibly adjusted according to different cleaning tasks. In addition, this design prolongs the service life of the equipment, because the damaged or worn cleaning piece 330 can be quickly replaced without affecting the overall function of the equipment.

[0069] It is worth noting that the material of the cleaning scraper can be selected according to actual needs, such as hard rubber, metal sheet or soft fiber material, to clean different types of dirt. In addition, scrapers with coatings or microstructures can be introduced to enhance the dirt peeling effect. The installation method can also use magnetic fixation or quick-release buckles to improve the convenience of operation.

[0070] Please continue to see Figure 2 As shown, according to a further embodiment of the present application, the free end of the outer cylinder 300 is provided with a cleaning cavity 350. The cleaning cavity 350 is directly hung on the free end of the outer cylinder 300 and closely contacts the cleaning scraper to form an effective matching structure. The function of the cleaning cavity 350 is to cooperate with the cleaning scraper through the physical barrier effect to block the dirt removed by the scraper outside, avoiding the spread of dirt to other parts of the investigation ball or the inside of the system. When the cleaning scraper closely contacts the surface of the driving wheel and cleans, the dirt is peeled off from the wheel surface by the scraper. Since the cleaning cavity 350 is in contact with the scraper, it plays a blocking and isolating role to prevent dirt from being brought into the internal structure of the investigation ball or spreading to unnecessary areas. The design of the cleaning cavity 350 does not have a sludge collection function, but provides a simple and effective protective measure through the form of direct external hanging to maintain the overall cleanliness of the equipment.

[0071] Specifically, the cleaning cavity 350 as an external protection device has a simple structure and effectively prevents the spread of dirt, reducing the difficulty of equipment maintenance after cleaning. In addition, the design of directly hanging on the end of the outer cylinder 300 is easy to replace and maintain, improving the applicability and operation convenience of the equipment. This simple and efficient structure design provides reliable environmental protection for the continuous operation of the investigation ball.

[0072] It is worth noting that the cleaning cavity 350 can adopt different shapes or materials to better adapt to the requirements of the equipment operating environment. For example, a lighter polymer material or a special coating can be used to enhance the protection performance.

[0073] Please continue to see Figure 2As shown, in an optional mode of the present application, the driving member 340 includes two pistons 341, a rebound spring 342, and a pneumatic member 343. The pistons 341 are slidingly installed on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 300, with two in number, forming a sealed space. The rebound spring 342 has its two ends fixedly connected with the pistons 341, and its middle part fixed on the outer cylinder 300. The pneumatic member 343 is in communication with the sealed space and is fixedly installed on the outer cylinder 300, responsible for adjusting the air pressure in the sealed space to drive the pistons 341 to reciprocate.

[0074] Specifically, the driving member 340 precisely controls the movement of the cleaner through a pneumatic system. The pistons 341 slide within the outer cylinder 300 to form a sealed space, and the pneumatic member 343 adjusts the air pressure to change the position of the pistons 341, pushing the inner rod 320 in the cleaner to perform cleaning operations. After each cleaning operation, the rebound spring 342 resets the pistons 341, preparing for the next cleaning operation. This pneumatic driving device has the characteristics of quick response and controllable pressure, ensuring stable and efficient cleaning effect. The pneumatic driving mode has the advantages of smooth operation and no obvious mechanical wear, thereby improving the durability and reliability of the equipment. In addition, the design of the double pistons 341 and the rebound spring 342 enables the cleaner to have self-adaptive capability during movement, maintaining consistent cleaning effect even in different environments. The adjustment function of the pneumatic member 343 allows the cleaning intensity to be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different levels of dirt.

[0075] It is worth mentioning that the driving device can be replaced by other types of driving systems, such as hydraulic devices or motors, to meet the needs of different application scenarios. The materials of the pistons 341 and the rebound spring 342 can be selected from high-pressure-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials to adapt to more severe use environments. In addition, the parameter range of the pneumatic system can also be adjusted, for example, using multiple adjustable pressure settings to improve the flexibility and adaptability of the cleaning function.

[0076] Please continue to see Figure 2 As shown, in some examples of the present application, the surface of the piston 341 is provided with a sealing ring 341a. The sealing ring 341a is arranged on the outer edge of the piston 341, used to tightly contact with the inner wall of the outer cylinder 300, to ensure the air tightness of the sealed space.

[0077] Specifically, the sealing ring 341a is wrapped around the outer edge of the piston 341 and forms a tight contact with the inner wall of the outer cylinder 300, ensuring the air tightness during the operation of the pneumatic device and preventing gas leakage. Good air tightness is crucial for precise pressure regulation and the normal operation of the driving element 340. When the pneumatic element 343 adjusts the air pressure, the sealing ring 341a can effectively maintain the stability of the air pressure, ensuring the smooth sliding of the piston 341 and the normal operation of the cleaner. The application of the sealing ring 341a enhances the sealing performance of the system, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of the pneumatic driving system. This design can effectively prevent driving failure or efficiency reduction caused by gas leakage, improving the reliability of the equipment in actual use. In addition, the sealing ring 341a is made of wear-resistant and durable material, reducing the maintenance requirements during long-term operation.

[0078] It is worth noting that the sealing ring 341a can be made of different materials, such as high-wear-resistant rubber or silicone, to meet the needs of various working environments. In addition, the shape of the sealing ring 341a can also be designed as a multi-layer structure to further enhance the sealing effect. In extreme environments, a corrosion-resistant coating or self-lubricating material can be added to reduce friction and extend the service life of the system.

[0079] In one possible implementation, the pneumatic element 343 is an air pressure pump. The air pressure pump is used to provide adjustable air pressure to the sealed space to drive the piston 341 to slide within the outer cylinder 300, thereby driving the cleaner to operate.

[0080] Specifically, the air pressure pump drives the piston 341 in the sealed space to move by generating adjustable air pressure. Different air pressure settings allow the speed and force of the cleaner to be controlled to meet different cleaning needs. When the air pressure pump is running, the air pressure level can be adjusted to flexibly control the propulsion or rebound of the piston 341, ensuring that the cleaner always maintains appropriate pressure and speed for cleaning operations.

[0081] The design of the air pressure pump allows the pneumatic system to operate efficiently and adjust the air pressure flexibly according to different cleaning tasks, providing efficient and controllable cleaning force. In addition, the air pressure pump has a compact structure and is easy to maintain, suitable for long-term continuous operation, reducing the maintenance cost of the equipment and improving the operation stability.

[0082] It is worth noting that the air pressure pump can be replaced by different types of pneumatic driving devices, such as high-efficiency small air compressors, to improve portability or reduce energy consumption. In environments without sufficient air supply, a manual air pump or an external air source interface can be used to enhance the applicability of the equipment. In addition, the design of the air pressure pump can be added with automatic adjustment function to optimize the switching efficiency of different cleaning modes.
