Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of agricultural production technology, and more specifically, it relates to an outdoor power supply device for a robot for detecting blockages in underground pipes in farmland. Background Technology
[0002] Agricultural production requires a stable water source for farmland, typically achieved through manual irrigation or by burying underground pipes with atomizing nozzles at the top that extend above ground level, using high-pressure pumps to spray irrigation water onto the crops. However, because these pipes are buried underground, soil can easily seep in at the pipe joints. Over time, excessive soil buildup can cause blockages, necessitating the use of robots to inspect the pipes and pinpoint the location of the blockages for easier removal.
[0003] Based on the above, if the detection robot needs to work continuously for a long time inside the concealed pipe, the power supply installed on the robot is insufficient to support its long-term operation. Therefore, it is necessary to connect a cable into the pipe, with the other end of the cable connected to the power source. However, due to the limited length of the cable, this method is not suitable for long-distance power supply. Furthermore, the further the robot travels inside the pipe, the greater the resistance caused by the cable pulling behind it, which affects the robot's operation. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an outdoor power supply device for a farmland underground pipe blockage detection robot, thus solving the problem that existing power supply devices cannot enter the pipe with the robot, limiting the power supply distance.
[0005] This utility model provides an outdoor power supply device for a robot for detecting blockages in underground pipes in farmland, achieved through the following specific technical means:
[0006] An outdoor power supply device for a farmland underground pipe blockage detection robot includes a base plate; side plates are fixedly connected to both sides of the base plate, and end plates are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the side plates; a top plate is fixedly connected above the end plates, and the top plate is divided into two parts with a sealing door between them. The sealing door rests on limiting plates on the inner walls of the side plates on both sides, and the connection between the sealing door and the side plates and the top plate is sealed.
