Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of auxiliary recycling equipment, specifically relating to an intelligent recycling device for road construction cones. Background Art

[0002] The removal of traffic cones used in highway construction is an important part of the final stages of highway construction. It involves collecting the cones placed on the highway and restoring its traffic flow.

[0003] The removal of traffic cones during highway construction is typically done manually by workers. Workers follow maintenance vehicles to manually retrieve the cones. The disadvantages of manual cone removal are as follows:

[0004] (1) Manually collecting traffic cones poses a high safety risk. When workers manually collect traffic cones, they need to work next to high-speed traffic. If vehicles enter the warning zone or directly enter the construction zone, traffic accidents are likely to occur, endangering the lives and property of the workers.

[0005] (2) Manual cone collection is inefficient. When collecting cones manually, staff need to walk through the highway construction area, collecting each cone one by one and placing them back on the maintenance vehicle. Since the highway construction area is long and there are many cones, staff need to spend time walking and collecting cones, resulting in low overall work efficiency.

[0006] (3) Manually collecting cones is too labor-intensive. When workers collect cones manually, they need to exert a lot of physical strength, which can easily lead to fatigue, thereby reducing work efficiency and increasing the possibility of accidents.

[0007] Manually collecting cones is highly dependent on the environment. In severe weather conditions such as rain, snow, and strong winds, manual collection becomes more difficult and unsafe, sometimes even forcing work to be suspended, leading to task delays. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The intelligent recycling equipment for road construction cones includes a fixed arm, a rotary motor, a gripper support arm, an electromechanical gripper, and a vehicle body. The vehicle body includes a frame, a base, wheel brackets, wheels, a wheel motor drive, and a self-locking motor. The frame is mounted on top of the base, and wheel brackets are mounted on both sides of the bottom of the base. Each wheel bracket is equipped with a wheel motor drive and a wheel. Each wheel is connected to a self-locking motor, which is connected to the wheel motor drive. The fixed arm is mounted on the front end of the base, and the rotary motor is mounted on the fixed arm. The output shaft of the rotary motor is connected to one end of the gripper support arm, and the electromechanical gripper is connected to the other end of the gripper support arm.

[0021] The present invention will be further explained and described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the specific embodiments are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this specific embodiment provides an intelligent recycling device for road construction cones, including a fixed arm 5, a rotary motor 4, a gripper support arm 3, an electromechanical gripper 1, and a vehicle body 6.

[0023] The electric mechanical gripper 1 was purchased from Taobao; the product model is Xingjiashe-PD20SN.

[0024] The rotary motor 4 was purchased from Taobao; the product model is Qiwo-QW80BL007.

[0025] The vehicle body 6 includes a base 601, a frame 602, wheel brackets 611, wheels 604, a wheel motor drive 603, a self-locking motor 610, a control box 605 installed in the base 601, and a control chip 607, a LoRa module, a GPS module 608, and a power supply 609 installed in the control box 605. The frame 602 is mounted on top of the base 601, and a support block 2 is placed on the frame 602 to support the cones 8. A semi-enclosed barrier 7 is installed at the rear of the frame 602 to prevent the cones 8 from falling.

[0026] Wheel brackets 611 are installed on both sides of the bottom of the base 601. Each wheel bracket 611 is equipped with a wheel motor drive 603 and a wheel 604. Each wheel 604 is connected to a self-locking motor 610, which is connected to the wheel motor drive 603. A fixed arm 5 is installed at the front end of the base 601. A rotary motor 4 is installed on the fixed arm 5. The output shaft of the rotary motor 4 is connected to one end of the gripper support arm 3, and the electromechanical gripper 1 is connected to the other end of the gripper support arm 3. The purpose is to drive the gripper support arm 3 to rotate upward by controlling the rotary motor 4 to rotate upward, thereby driving the electromechanical gripper 1 to move upward.

[0027] The rotary motor 4, the wheel motor drive 603, the motor of the electromechanical gripper 1, the LoRa module 606, and the GPS module 608 are respectively connected to the control chip 607. The power supply 609 provides the operating voltage for the wheel motor drive 603, the motor of the electromechanical gripper, and the control chip. The LoRa module 606 is connected to a terminal device, which can be a computer, mobile phone, or laptop.

[0028] The wheel motor drive 603 was purchased from Taobao; the product model is RISYM-7A160W.

[0029] The LoRa module 606 was purchased from Taobao; the product model is Daxia Longque-LR01. The function of the LoRa module 606 is to connect to a terminal device via wireless communication, receive the target location provided by the terminal device, and transmit the target location information to the control chip 607.

[0030] The control chip 607 was purchased from Taobao; its product model is Broadcom-BCM2711. The function of the control chip 607 is to use the difference between the current position and the target position to send a command to the wheel motor drive 604 to control the self-locking motor 610, causing the vehicle body 6 to reach the target position. Once the vehicle body 6 reaches the target position, the self-locking motor 610 will lock itself, ensuring that the vehicle body 6 no longer moves.

[0031] The GPS module 608 was purchased from Taobao; the product model is Daxia Longque-DXGP10. The GPS module 608 is used to acquire the real-time location information of the vehicle 6 and transmit this information to the control chip 607.

[0032] The power supply 609 was purchased from Taobao; the product model is Chenke-6SNP.

[0033] The self-locking motor 610 was purchased from Taobao; the product model is Xinda-31YSF.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] In use, the terminal device sends a working command to the control chip, which in turn sends a command to the wheel motor to drive the self-locking motor to rotate the wheels, moving the recycling device of this embodiment to the location where the cones need to be recycled. The control chip then sends a command to the electromechanical gripper to clamp the cones, and then sends a command to the rotary motor to move the electromechanical gripper upwards onto the frame. Finally, the control chip sends a command to the electromechanical gripper to release, allowing the cones to be placed on the frame. Because the frame is equipped with receiving blocks and barriers, multiple cones can be recycled on the frame, and the barriers prevent the cones from falling off the frame.
