Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of suspended inspection robot technology, specifically a suspended inspection robot that is easy to disassemble. Background Technology

[0002] With the advancement of technology and the continuous development of industrial automation, traditional manual inspection methods have gradually revealed problems such as low efficiency, insufficient accuracy, and safety hazards. Especially in industries such as power, chemical, and transportation, regular equipment inspection and maintenance are crucial for ensuring production safety and operational efficiency. Therefore, adopting efficient inspection robots to replace traditional manual inspections has become an inevitable trend in modern industrial development. Rail-mounted inspection robots, as an important form of this technology, are gradually gaining popularity across various industries due to their unique navigation methods and efficient inspection capabilities.

[0003] The patent with publication number CN218905409U discloses a rail-mounted inspection robot, which includes an inspection robot with a housing. The top of the housing is bolted to a mounting box. The mounting box has symmetrically arranged moving devices on its sides, and the moving devices are engaged with guide rails on their sides. The bottom of the housing is movably connected to a gimbal. The gimbal is movably connected to a high-definition camera and a thermal imaging camera on its side. The high-definition camera and the thermal imaging camera are parallel to each other on the same horizontal plane. A fan is bolted to one side of the housing, and a control box is bolted to the surface of the housing. This technology can cool the inside of the rail-mounted inspection robot through the fan and heat dissipation vents, and dissipate heat to the outside of the housing. Cooling the inside of the robot ensures the stable operation of the internal components. It can also take pictures from multiple angles and of various types, and can remotely notify the area where the equipment has a problem.

[0004] However, the above technology still has the following problems: it is suspended on the track by the moving wheels and can also move on the track by the moving wheels. Since the suspended inspection robot will also experience some malfunctions during the time it works on the track, it is necessary to regularly inspect the inspection robot to ensure its operational stability. However, the suspended inspection robot is located at a high position, which means that maintenance personnel need to operate at a high position for a long time, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also unsafe. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a detachable suspended inspection robot, which facilitates disassembly and maintenance of the inspection robot and improves the safety of workers.

[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a detachable suspended inspection robot, including a robot body, a base fixedly connected to the upper end of the robot body, grooves on both sides of the base, a first rotating shaft rotatably connected in the grooves, a first driver fixedly connected to the output end of the first rotating shaft, a housing fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft, a drive mechanism fixedly connected to the housing, the drive mechanism being located on both sides of the track, a limit mechanism fixedly connected to the inner surface of the housing, and a clamping mechanism fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base.

[0007] Furthermore, the driving mechanism includes a second driver fixedly connected inside the housing, a second rotating shaft fixedly connected to the output end of the second driver, a first gear fixedly connected to the front end of the second rotating shaft, and two third rotating shafts rotatably connected to the housing. The two third rotating shafts are located on both sides of the second rotating shaft, and a second gear matching the first gear is fixedly connected to each of the two third rotating shafts. A rotating wheel is fixedly connected to the front end of each of the two third rotating shafts.

[0008] Furthermore, both the first driver and the second driver are reversible motors.

[0009] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism consists of two sets, two in each set, and abuts against both sides of the track.

[0010] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes two parallel fixing plates fixedly connected to the inner surface of the housing, a fourth rotating shaft rotatably connected between the two fixing plates, and a first roller fixedly connected to the fourth rotating shaft.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes an electric push rod fixedly connected inside the base. The output end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to a support plate. Telescopic rods are fixedly connected to the four corners of the lower surface of the support plate. The lower end of the telescopic rod is located inside the base. The support plate has four through holes. The inner walls of the four through holes are rotatably connected to a fifth rotating shaft. A second roller is fixedly connected to the fifth rotating shaft. The surface of the second roller abuts against the lower surface of the track.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This easily detachable suspended inspection robot uses a first drive mechanism to rotate the first shaft and the housing fixed on the first shaft outwards, thereby moving the drive mechanisms located on both sides of the track away from the track. This allows workers to easily remove the inspection robot from the track for maintenance, improving worker safety. Furthermore, the operation of the limiting mechanism and the clamping mechanism ensures the smooth operation of the inspection robot. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0021] Please see Figures 1 to 5 A detachable suspended inspection robot includes a robot body 1, a base 2 fixedly connected to the upper end of the robot body 1, grooves 3 on both sides of the base 2, a first rotating shaft 4 rotatably connected in the grooves 3, a first driver 5 fixedly connected to the output end of the first rotating shaft 4, a housing 6 fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 4, a drive mechanism 7 fixedly connected to the housing 6, the drive mechanism 7 being located on both sides of the track 10, a limit mechanism 8 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the housing 6, and a clamping mechanism 9 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base 2.

[0022] The easily detachable suspended inspection robot in this utility model is similar in structure to existing rail-mounted inspection robots, such as the rail-mounted inspection robot disclosed in patent CN218905409U. The main improvement of this utility model is that the first drive 5 causes the first rotating shaft 4 and the housing 6 fixed on the first rotating shaft 4 to rotate outwards, thereby moving the drive mechanisms 7 located on both sides of the track 10 away from the track 10, making it easier for workers to remove the inspection robot from the track 10 for maintenance. Figures 1 to 5As shown, the easily disassembled suspended inspection robot of this utility model, during disassembly, first drives the electric actuator 901, causing the support plate 902 to move downwards, and the telescopic rod 903 also retracts, thereby causing the second roller 906 to move downwards and away from the lower surface of the track 10. The operator then lifts the robot body 1 upwards, causing the first roller 803 on the limiting mechanism 8 to disengage from the two sides of the track 10. In this way, when the shell 6 is rotated outwards, the two sides of the track 10 will not obstruct the first roller 803. Then, the first driver 5 is driven, causing the first rotating shaft 4 to rotate. This causes the housing 6 to rotate outward, so that the rotating wheel 706 on the drive mechanism 7 and the first roller 803 on the limiting mechanism 8 move away from the track 10, making it easier to remove the inspection robot from the track 10 for maintenance. The reverse operation can fix the inspection robot back onto the track 10, and the first roller 803 on the limiting mechanism 8 abuts against the two sides of the track 10, and the second roller 906 on the clamping mechanism 9 abuts against the lower surface of the track 10, exerting a certain squeezing force on the track 10, thereby facilitating the movement of the inspection robot on the track 10.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the drive mechanism 7 includes a second driver 701 fixedly connected inside the housing 6. The output end of the second driver 701 is fixedly connected to a second rotating shaft 702. The front end of the second rotating shaft 702 is fixedly connected to a first gear 703. Two third rotating shafts 704 are rotatably connected to the housing 6. The two third rotating shafts 704 are located on both sides of the second rotating shaft 702. A second gear 705 matching the first gear 703 is fixedly connected to each of the two third rotating shafts 704. A rotating wheel 706 is fixedly connected to the front end of each of the two third rotating shafts 704.

[0024] Specifically, the second driver 701 is driven, which causes the second shaft 702 to rotate, thereby causing the first gear 703 to rotate. The first gear 703 meshes with the second gears 705 on both sides, so that the first gear 703 and the second gears 705 on both sides rotate in the same direction, thereby causing the third shaft 704 and the wheel 706 at the front end of the third shaft 704 to rotate, thereby driving the inspection robot to move on the track 10.

[0025] like Figure 1 or Figure 3 As shown, both the first driver 5 and the second driver 701 are forward and reverse rotating motors.

[0026] Specifically, when disassembling the inspection robot, the first driver 5 controls the housing 6 to rotate outward with the first rotating shaft 4. When installing the inspection robot, the first driver 5 controls the housing 6 to rotate upward with the first rotating shaft 4. The second driver 701 can control the second rotating shaft 702 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise so that the inspection robot can reciprocate on the track 10.

[0027] like Figure 2 or Figure 4 As shown, the limiting mechanism 8 consists of two sets, with two in each set, and abuts against both sides of the track 10.

[0028] Specifically, the limiting mechanism 8 is located on both sides of the track 10, so that the limiting mechanism 8 can move with the track 10 and exert a certain amount of pressure on the track 10 to ensure that the inspection robot does not sway back and forth on the track 10.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the limiting mechanism 8 includes two parallel fixing plates 801 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the housing 6, a fourth rotating shaft 802 rotatably connected between the two fixing plates 801, and a first roller 803 fixedly connected to the fourth rotating shaft 802.

[0030] Specifically, when the inspection robot is installed, the first roller 803 on the limit mechanism 8 abuts against both sides of the track 10. During the movement of the inspection robot, the first roller 803 will rotate, thereby preventing the inspection robot from swaying back and forth on the track 10 and maintaining its operational stability.

[0031] like Figure 2 or Figure 5 As shown, the clamping mechanism 9 includes an electric push rod 901 fixedly connected inside the base 2. The output end of the electric push rod 901 is fixedly connected to a support plate 902. Telescopic rods 903 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the lower surface of the support plate 902. The lower end of the telescopic rods 903 is located inside the base 2. The support plate 902 has four through holes 904. The inner walls of the four through holes 904 are rotatably connected to a fifth rotating shaft 905. The fifth rotating shaft 905 is fixedly connected to a second roller 906. The surface of the second roller 906 abuts against the lower surface of the track 10.

[0032] Specifically, after the inspection robot is fixed on the track 10, the electric push rod 901 is driven to extend, causing the support plate 902 to move upward. The telescopic rod 903 also extends along with it until the surface of the second roller 906 on the support plate 902 abuts against the lower surface of the track 10 and exerts a certain squeezing force on the track 10. This increases the friction between the rotating wheel 706 and the track 10, making it easier for the inspection robot to run on the track 10. In addition, it can also prevent the inspection robot from shaking up and down during operation.

[0033] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
