Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robot technology, and in particular to a heat dissipation device for an inspection robot. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the application fields of track-suspended inspection robots are constantly expanding. In various production settings such as industrial and mining enterprises, warehouses, workshop production lines, unattended machine rooms, or even large classrooms and corridors in daily life, video surveillance equipment is needed to monitor the scene in real time. Especially in some special situations, traditional fixed video surveillance equipment can no longer meet the diversified market demands. As a result, track-moving video surveillance inspection robots have emerged. The inspection robot moves back and forth on the track to achieve its work purpose.

[0003] However, due to the different working environments, current track-mounted inspection robots require a relatively compact motor structure and good waterproof and dustproof performance. As a result, the heat generated by the motor cannot be dissipated in time, causing the motor to heat up after working for a period of time, reaching a temperature of 80-110℃, which poses a risk of scalding people or burning parts.

[0004] To address these issues, we provide a heat dissipation device for inspection robots. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a heat dissipation device for inspection robots. By combining air-cooling components and water-cooling components, it solves the problem that inspection robots in the prior art do not have a heat dissipation structure, which may lead to the risk of scalding people or burning parts.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model is a heat dissipation device for an inspection robot, including an inspection robot body. A track is slidably connected to the top of the inner cavity of the inspection robot body, and a toothed groove is opened at the bottom of the track. A drive component is engaged at the bottom of the track. Air-cooling components are fixedly connected to both sides of the inspection robot body, and water-cooling components are fixedly connected to the surface of the inspection robot body.

[0008] The air-cooling assembly includes an air inlet pipe and an air outlet pipe fixedly connected to both sides of the inspection robot body. A blower is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the air inlet pipe, and a suction fan is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the air outlet pipe.

[0009] The water-cooling assembly includes a heat exchange plate and a coolant tank. Semiconductor cooling chips are fixedly connected to both sides of the coolant tank. Heat dissipation fins are fixedly connected to the surface of the semiconductor cooling chips by bolts. A heat dissipation fan is provided on the surface of the heat dissipation fins. A protective cover is fixedly connected to the surface of the heat dissipation fan by bolts. The top of one side of the heat exchange plate is connected to the bottom of the coolant tank through a pipe. A suction pump is connected to the bottom of one side of the heat exchange plate through a pipe. The bottom of the suction pump is connected to the surface of the coolant tank through a pipe.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the air-cooling component can simultaneously blow and suck air into the inner cavity of the inspection robot body, thereby increasing the airflow speed and quickly removing heat from the inner cavity of the inspection robot body, improving its heat dissipation effect. When the temperature sensor in the inner cavity of the inspection robot body detects that the temperature is too high, the water-cooling component can be activated in conjunction with the air-cooling component to quickly dissipate the heat generated by the mainboard. This achieves efficient and rapid heat dissipation, preventing burns or damage to parts and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the driving component includes a driving motor, the driving motor is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the inspection robot body, and the output shaft of the driving motor is fixedly connected to a driving gear, the driving gear meshing with a tooth groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive motor drives the drive gear to rotate and engage with the tooth groove, which in turn drives the inspection robot body to move, thereby enabling the inspection work to be carried out.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the inner cavities of the air inlet pipe and the air outlet pipe are threaded with dustproof mesh, and the other end of the blower's output shaft extends through the surface of the dustproof mesh and is fixedly connected with a cleaning brush.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the cleaning brush can clean the dust adhering to the surface of the threaded connection dustproof mesh on the air inlet pipe, thereby ensuring smooth air intake.

[0015] The present invention is further configured such that a liquid replenishment pipe is fixedly connected to the top right front end of the coolant tank, and a cap is threadedly connected to the top of the liquid replenishment pipe.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the replenishment pipe and cap allows for convenient and rapid filling of coolant.

[0017] The present invention is further configured such that the heat exchange plate adopts a two-half design and its inner cavity is provided with a serpentine channel.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the serpentine channel design can ensure that the flow time of the coolant in the heat exchange plate cavity is extended, thereby enabling the orderly operation of heat exchange.

[0019] The present invention is further configured such that arc-shaped grooves are provided on both sides of the track, and a limiting slider is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the arc-shaped groove, and the other side of the limiting slider is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the inspection robot body.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the arc-shaped groove and the limiting slider enables the inspection robot body to slide and connect to the surface of the track.

[0021] The present invention is further configured such that the surface of the cleaning brush is provided with a first threaded hole, and the end of the blower located outside the dustproof net is provided with a second threaded hole, and the inner cavities of the second threaded hole and the first threaded hole are connected by countersunk bolts.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole facilitates the disassembly of the countersunk bolt, thereby making it easy to disassemble and replace the cleaning brush.

[0023] The present invention is further configured such that the heat exchange plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the inspection robot body, and the coolant tank is fixedly connected to the top of the surface of the inspection robot body.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, the heat exchange plate can contact the heat-generating parts inside the inspection robot body, which can improve the heat exchange effect, and the coolant tank can store and cool the coolant.

[0025] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] This invention utilizes a specially designed air-cooling component to simultaneously blow and draw air into the internal cavity of the inspection robot, thereby increasing the airflow speed and quickly removing heat from the robot's internal cavity, thus improving its heat dissipation effect. When the temperature sensor inside the inspection robot detects an excessively high temperature, the water-cooling component can be activated in conjunction with the air-cooling component to rapidly dissipate heat from the motherboard that generates high temperatures during operation. This achieves efficient and rapid heat dissipation, preventing burns or damage to components and extending the lifespan of the device.

[0027] This invention scrapes dust off the dustproof mesh on the surface of the air inlet pipe while the air is blowing, preventing dust from clogging the mesh and ensuring airflow and heat dissipation. Simultaneously, the heat dissipation fins and fan dissipate the high temperatures generated by the thermoelectric cooler during operation. A protective cover prevents accidents, and the thermoelectric cooler cools the returning coolant, further ensuring effective heat dissipation. Attached Figure Description
