Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial robot technology, and in particular to an industrial robot with air purification function. Background Technology

[0002] With rapid industrialization and urbanization, indoor air quality has become an increasingly important issue. While traditional air purifiers can improve indoor air quality to some extent, they are typically fixed in one location and cannot achieve comprehensive purification of the entire house or a specific area. However, the development of industrial robot technology offers a new solution for air purification. By combining air purification technology with industrial robot technology, it is possible to develop industrial robots that can move autonomously and intelligently detect and purify indoor air.

[0003] The applicant's research revealed that current indoor air purifying robots on the market are typically equipped with a dust filter that matches the air intake. Over time, dust accumulates on this filter, requiring periodic removal and cleaning. However, existing air purifying robots often have limited functionality, and their dust filters are located inside the machine. Users must remove the rear cover of the robot to access and remove the filter, a relatively cumbersome and inconvenient process. Furthermore, filtration often relies on a single filter, which is inefficient. Over time, the battery temperature also rises, placing a heavy burden on the device.

[0004] Therefore, the applicant proposed an industrial robot with air purification function to solve the problem. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides an industrial robot with air purification function, which solves the problems mentioned in the background.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an industrial robot with air purification function, including a mobile chassis. An air outlet is installed on the top of the mobile chassis, an air inlet is installed on one side of the mobile chassis, and a filter element is inserted into the opening on the other side of the mobile chassis. The bottom slider of the filter element is inserted into the slide rail at the lower end of the opening. An L-shaped plate is fixed inside the mobile chassis. A fan is connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped plate and the inner wall of the mobile chassis. The core plate on one side of the filter element is engaged with the opening on the side wall of the mobile chassis, and the core plate is connected to the mobile chassis by a positioning component.

[0007] The positioning assembly includes a hollow box fixed to the outer wall of the core board. A gear is rotatably installed inside the hollow box. A toothed plate meshes with the bottom of the gear. One end of the toothed plate passes through the side opening of the hollow box and is inserted into the insertion hole of the docking block. Two sliding rods pass through the other side of the toothed plate to form a sliding connection. The sliding rods are fixed to the inner wall of the hollow box, and the docking block is fixed to the side wall of the movable chassis.

[0008] Preferably, a toothed block meshes with one side of the gear, the toothed block is arc-shaped and has a square rod abutting its side wall, the square rod passes through the hollow box, and its outer end is connected to the hollow box with a spring.

[0009] Preferably, a coarse filter screen is installed on the inner wall of the filter element near the air inlet, and a HEPA filter screen and an activated carbon filter screen are sequentially installed on the inner wall of the filter element on the side of the coarse filter screen away from the air inlet.

[0010] Preferably, a gas flow meter is installed on the inner wall of the filter element between the coarse filter screen and the HEPA filter screen.

[0011] Preferably, the filter element is fitted to the inner wall of the mobile housing at both ends and the bottom, and the top of the filter element is close to the bottom of the L-shaped plate, and a sealing strip is adhered to the bottom of the L-shaped plate, and the sealing strip is tightly fitted to the top surface of the filter element.

[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the L-shaped plate forms a cavity with the inner wall of the mobile chassis. A battery assembly is fixed to the bottom inner side of the L-shaped plate. The mobile chassis has an opening at the upper end of the cavity on one side, in which a fine filter is installed. The lower end of one side of the L-shaped plate also has an opening, which is located at the lower end of the fan, and an electric louver is installed in the opening.

[0013] Compared with related technologies, the industrial robot with air purification function provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. This utility model fully considers the installation, disassembly, and maintenance of the filter element. Through the ingenious design of the positioning component, it realizes the quick installation and disassembly of the filter element. During installation, simply insert the filter element into the opening on one side of the mobile housing, so that the inner end of the filter element fits against the air inlet and is locked in the slot on one side of the mobile housing. Then, rotate the gear by the external knob to make the toothed plate slide into the docking block on the two slide rods to complete the installation. During disassembly, simply pull the square rod to disengage the toothed block from the gear, and then easily rotate the gear to slide the toothed plate out of the docking block to remove the filter element.

[0015] 2. This invention achieves highly efficient air purification through a multi-stage filtration system. The filter element contains a coarse filter, a HEPA filter, and an activated carbon filter, forming a three-stage filtration mechanism. First, the coarse filter removes larger particles and dust, effectively reducing the burden on subsequent filtration layers. Next, the HEPA filter further removes fine particles and bacteria, ensuring high air quality standards. Finally, the activated carbon filter removes harmful gases and odors, providing fresh and comfortable indoor air. Attached Figure Description

[0024] 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. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Example 1, by Figures 1-7 The present invention includes a mobile housing 1, an air outlet 11 installed on the top of the mobile housing 1, an air inlet 12 installed on one side of the mobile housing 1, a filter element 2 inserted into the opening on the other side of the mobile housing 1, two sliders at the bottom of the filter element 2 being inserted into the slide rails at the lower end of the opening, an L-shaped plate 13 fixed inside the mobile housing 1, a fan 14 connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped plate 13 and the inner wall of the mobile housing 1, a core plate 21 on one side of the filter element 2 being engaged with the opening on the side wall of the mobile housing 1, and a positioning component 3 connecting the core plate 21 to the mobile housing 1;

[0026] The positioning component 3 includes four hollow boxes 31 fixed to the outer wall of the core plate 21. Gears 33 are rotatably installed inside the hollow boxes 31. Gears 33 have toothed plates 34 meshing at their bottom. One end of the toothed plate 34 passes through the side opening of the hollow box 31 and is inserted into the insertion hole of the docking block 32. The other side of the toothed plate 34 is slidably connected by two sliding rods 35, and the sliding rods 35 are fixed to the inner wall of the hollow box 31. The docking block 32 is fixed to the side wall of the mobile chassis 1.

[0027] With the above-mentioned positioning component 3 design, during installation, the filter element 2 is inserted from the opening on one side of the mobile housing 1, so that the inner end of the filter element 2 fits against the air inlet 12. In terms of design, the inner end of the filter element 2 and the air inlet 12 have the same specifications and their inner and outer walls are aligned. See details. Figure 3 At this time, the core plate 21 is engaged with the slot on one side of the mobile housing 1, and the hollow box 31 is aligned and close to the docking block 32. Then, the gear 33 is rotated so that the toothed plate 34 slides on the two slide rods 35 and is inserted into the docking block 32 to complete the installation.

[0028] One side of the gear 33 is engaged with a tooth block 36. The tooth block 36 is arc-shaped and has a square rod 37 connected to its side wall. The square rod 37 passes through the hollow box 31, and its outer end is connected to the hollow box 31 with a spring 38.

[0029] Furthermore, the design of the toothed block 36 allows for positioning, preventing loosening during installation and also preventing the toothed plate 34 from falling out when not installed. When starting to position and rotate the gear 33, the square rod 37 is pulled outward, causing the toothed block 36 to disengage from the gear 33 and allow it to rotate. After installation, the square rod 37 is released, and the toothed block 36 is reset and re-engaged with the gear 33 under the action of the spring 38. This is very convenient, and disassembly is also a repetitive operation.

[0030] A coarse filter 22 is installed on the inner wall of filter element 2 near the air inlet 12. A HEPA filter 23 and an activated carbon filter 24 are installed sequentially on the inner wall of filter element 2 away from the air inlet 12 on the side of the coarse filter 22. A gas flow meter 25 is installed on the inner wall of filter element 2 between the coarse filter 22 and the HEPA filter 23. Both ends and the bottom of filter element 2 are in contact with the inner wall of the mobile housing 1. The top of filter element 2 is close to the bottom of L-shaped plate 13. A sealing strip 17 is glued to the bottom of L-shaped plate 13. The sealing strip 17 is in close contact with the top surface of filter element 2.

[0031] With the above structural design, when the equipment is started, the fan 14 begins to work, generating suction. Air enters from the inlet 12, then passes through the filter element 2. The top of the filter element 2, below the fan 14, has an air outlet. (See details...) Figure 3 The air is finally discharged from outlet 11. During the airflow through filter element 2, the coarse filter 22 removes larger particles and dust. Then, the air continues through the HEPA filter 23, which further removes finer particles and bacteria. Finally, the air passes through the activated carbon filter 24, which removes harmful gases and odors, thus purifying the air. A gas flow meter 25, located between the coarse filter 22 and the HEPA filter 23, monitors the airflow through filter element 2. This helps ensure the equipment always operates at an appropriate flow rate. When the detected flow rate decreases, it indicates that the coarse filter 22 is severely clogged, and a signal can be sent wirelessly to alert staff to replace it, improving filtration efficiency and performance, and providing clean air indoors.

[0032] The inner wall of the L-shaped plate 13 and the inner wall of the mobile housing 1 form a cavity. A battery assembly 15 is fixed to the bottom of the inner side of the L-shaped plate 13. The mobile housing 1 has an opening at the upper end of the cavity on one side, in which a fine filter 16 is installed. The lower end of one side of the L-shaped plate 13 also has an opening, which is located at the lower end of the fan 14, and an electric louver 18 is installed in the opening.

[0033] Through the above structural design, the sealing strip 17 is tightly attached to the top surface of the filter element 2, ensuring the stability of the filter element 2 during operation and ensuring that the airflow flows upward and is discharged. When the battery assembly 15 needs heat dissipation, the electric louver 18 can be automatically opened for a period of time and then closed. This is the existing design, which is equipped with temperature sensors, etc., and will not be described in detail here. At this time, the airflow passes through the fine filter 16 to filter the space where the battery assembly 15 is located, and the hot air is taken away from the air outlet 11 for efficient heat dissipation (note that these two openings are small, and opening them for a period of time will not affect the air purification work).

[0034] Working principle: During installation, insert the filter element 2 through the opening on one side of the mobile housing 1, so that the inner end of the filter element 2 is in contact with the air inlet 12. At this time, the core plate 21 is engaged with the slot on one side of the mobile housing 1, and the hollow box 31 is aligned and close to the docking block 32. Then, pull the square rod 37 outward to disengage the toothed block 36 from the gear 33. Rotate the gear 33 (by using the corresponding knob installed on the outside of the hollow box 31) so that the toothed plate 34 slides on the two sliding rods 35 and inserts into the docking block 32. Then, release the square rod 37, and the toothed block 36 will reset and re-engage with the gear 33 under the action of the spring 38 to complete the installation. To disassemble, pull the square rod 37 outward again and reverse the gear 33 to complete the installation. After installation, the fan 14 starts to work and draws in airflow to be filtered through the filter element 2 for air purification. After purification in one location, the device can automatically move to other locations to work. Further details are omitted here.
