Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mining inspection robot technology, specifically a combined inspection robot for coal mine equipment. Background Technology

[0002] The coal mine equipment inspection robot is an automated device specifically designed for use in coal mining environments. It is mainly used to replace manual labor for equipment inspection and monitoring. It can automatically patrol equipment according to preset routes and times, and use technologies such as image recognition, sound detection, and temperature sensors to detect and identify equipment faults. It also collects various data from the equipment, such as temperature, humidity, noise, and vibration, for real-time monitoring and analysis.

[0003] Chinese patent CN221936762U discloses a combined inspection robot suitable for coal mine equipment. It includes a track and a track robot mounted on the track. The track robot has a rotating structure at its bottom, and a camera assembly is located at the lateral output end of the rotating structure. The camera assembly includes an outer shell, with the lens located above the front end of the shell and a separate cover below it. A semi-enclosed limiting plate is also provided on the front side of the outer shell. Grooves are provided on both sides of the bottom of the track robot, with cotton pads for wiping along the edges of the grooves. This invention achieves lens shielding by providing a slightly forward-extending enclosing protrusion on the top of the outer shell and rotating it to invert the camera assembly. This prevents coal dust from falling directly onto the lens, while the rotation of the camera assembly allows for wiping of the lens. The design is simple and ingenious, efficient in cleaning, and enables efficient monitoring after inspection and positioning.

[0004] The aforementioned robot has the function of wiping lenses, but the existing robot installation only provides a combination of rail-mounted or ground-walking methods. In actual application, situations such as inconvenient rail installation or narrow passages may be encountered, making the robot unable to adapt to the complex coal mining environment. At the same time, traditional rail-mounted robots are easily affected by the rail and will be bumpy, which greatly shortens the robot's service life. Therefore, there is a need to provide a combined inspection robot for coal mining equipment. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a combined inspection robot for coal mine equipment, comprising a mounting base, cameras fixedly mounted on the front and rear sides of the mounting base, protective covers fixedly mounted on both sides of the mounting base, and a drive motor fixedly mounted inside the mounting base. A switching mechanism is provided between the mounting base and the protective covers; the switching mechanism includes a front rotating shaft and a rear rotating shaft, which are respectively rotatably mounted through the front and rear sides of the mounting base. A first gear is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor, a second gear is fixedly mounted on the middle of the front rotating shaft, and first rollers are fixedly mounted on both ends of the front and rear rotating shafts. A support is rotatably mounted on the first roller. A second roller is rotatably mounted on the other end of the seat. Fastening rollers are slidably mounted on the middle of the two front supports, and fastening seats are fixedly mounted on one side of each of the two front supports. Fastening bolts are threaded through the fastening seats and slidably mounted on the fastening rollers. A rubber belt is fixedly mounted on one side of the fastening rollers and fitted onto the first and second rollers. A shaped rod is slidably mounted inside the second roller. Fastening nuts are threaded onto the shaped rod at positions on both sides of the second roller. A rotating wheel is fixedly mounted on one end of the shaped rod. Tracks are fitted around the front and rear rotating wheels. Two limiting seats are fixedly mounted side-by-side at the four corners of the mounting base and both ends of the protective cover. Limiting bolts are threaded through the two limiting seats on both sides.

[0007] Preferably, the first gear meshes with the second gear, and the outer sides of the two front supports are provided with strip grooves, and the fastening rollers are adapted to the strip grooves.

[0008] Preferably, the cross-section of the irregular rod is rectangular, and the irregular rod has external threads on its exterior.

[0009] Preferably, the upper part of the mounting base is provided with a shock-absorbing mechanism, which includes two shock-absorbing frames. The two shock-absorbing frames are fixedly installed side by side on the upper part of the mounting base, and each of the two shock-absorbing frames has several sliding grooves arranged side by side. A support column is slidably installed inside each of the sliding grooves. A horizontal plate is fixedly installed between the two support columns. A buffer spring is fixedly installed between the horizontal plate and the mounting base. A pulley is rotatably installed on the outside of the support column.

[0010] Preferably, the upper part of the mounting base has a groove, and the two shock absorbers are embedded and fixedly installed inside the groove.

[0011] Preferably, the distance from the groove to the mounting base is less than the radius of the pulley, and the outer side of the pulley has several grooves arranged in parallel.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] 1) This combined inspection robot for coal mine equipment rotates by controlling the drive motor to make the first gear rotate. Under the action of the second gear and the rubber belt, the rotating wheel will rotate. The rubber belt is reinforced by fastening bolts. During use, the orientation of the rotating wheel can be changed by controlling the limit bolts and rotating support as needed. When the rotating wheel is located on the lower side of the mounting base, the robot can walk on the ground. When the track is removed and the rotating wheel is controlled to be located on the upper side of the mounting base, the special-shaped rod and fastening nut can be used to adjust the rotating wheel to match the guide rail, realizing the robot's guide rail installation. This allows for flexible changes in the robot's installation method, making the robot more adaptable to the complex environment of coal mining.

[0014] 2) This combined inspection robot for coal mine equipment uses a shock-absorbing frame installed on the mounting base. When the robot is installed on a guide rail, several pulleys on the shock-absorbing frame will be pressed tightly against the guide rail under the action of the buffer spring. The support column is slidably installed on the shock-absorbing frame, which can ensure that when the pulley rolls on the guide rail, the vibration is transferred to the buffer spring, thus achieving the effect of robot shock absorption.
