[0030] This utility model proposes a fire inspection robot.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the fire inspection robot includes:

[0032] Inspection vehicle 10, wherein fire-fighting components 20 are provided on the inspection vehicle 10;

[0033] The fire-fighting component 20 includes a water tank 25 and a water gun pan-tilt unit 21. The inspection vehicle 10 is equipped with a pan-tilt platform 22, which is recessed. The water gun pan-tilt unit 21 is mounted on the pan-tilt platform 22. The water tank 25 is located inside the inspection vehicle 10 on one side of the pan-tilt platform 22, and the water tank 25 is connected to the pan-tilt platform 22.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the water gun gimbal 21 includes a gimbal and a water gun. The gimbal is mounted on the recess of the gimbal platform 22, and the gimbal part extends out of the gimbal platform 22. The water gun is rotatably connected to the gimbal.

[0035] It is understandable that the cross-sectional area of ​​the concave space of the gimbal platform 22 is larger than the area occupied by the gimbal, so that the gimbal and the water gun can rotate within the concave space.

[0036] Optionally, the pan-tilt unit is rotatably connected to the inspection vehicle 10 so that the direction of the water gun can be easily controlled when the pan-tilt unit rotates, thereby facilitating water spraying in different directions to extinguish the fire and increase the fire extinguishing range.

[0037] It should be noted that the water gun is connected to the water tank 25, which facilitates the water tank 25 to supply water to the water gun.

[0038] It is understood that the water tank 25 installed inside the inspection vehicle 10 is located on one side of the gimbal platform 22 and is surrounded by the frame of the inspection vehicle 10 to restrict the water tank 25.

[0039] It should be noted that the water tank 25 occupies more space in the inspection vehicle 10 than the gimbal platform 22. By increasing the lifting volume of the water tank 25, the capacity of the water tank 25 is increased, thereby facilitating the improvement of the fire-fighting capability of the inspection vehicle 10.

[0040] The technical solution of this utility model adopts the fire-fighting component 20 on the inspection vehicle 10, so that the inspection vehicle 10 has both inspection and inspection functions and fire-fighting functions. When the inspection vehicle 10 detects a fire source, it can quickly control the fire source through the fire-fighting component 20 to prevent the fire from spreading. At the same time, the large-capacity water tank 25 is set to improve the fire-fighting capability of the inspection vehicle 10. The water gun gimbal 21 is set on the concave gimbal platform 22 to expand the fire-fighting range of the inspection vehicle 10, so as to detect unknown fire sources and suppress the spread of fire sources at the first time, further improving the fire-fighting capability of the inspection vehicle 10.

[0041] In one embodiment, the fire-fighting component 20 further includes a pump body 24 and a filter section 23, both of which are located inside the inspection vehicle 10, and the water tank 25, the water gun platform 21, the pump body 24 and the filter section 23 are connected in series via pipes.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the water tank 25, the water gun gimbal 21, the pump body 24 and the filter section 23 are connected in series through pipes. When liquid spraying is required for fire extinguishing, the pump body 24 draws out the liquid in the water tank 25, filters it through the filter section 23, and then sprays it out from the water gun gimbal 21 to achieve fire extinguishing.

[0043] It is understandable that the filter section 23 is designed to filter the liquid in the water tank 25, so as to prevent impurities from remaining in the water gun gimbal 21 when the liquid with impurities is sprayed out, thus affecting the smoothness of the water output from the water gun gimbal.

[0044] It should be noted that both the water gun gimbal 21 and the pump body 24 are electrically driven, and the inspection vehicle 10 provides power to the water gun gimbal 21 and the pump body 24.

[0045] In one embodiment, the pump body 24 is installed inside the inspection vehicle 10, and the pump body 24 is located between the gimbal platform 22 and the water tank 25, and the filter part 23 is located on the side of the gimbal platform 22.

[0046] It is understood that the pump body 24 is located on one side of the water tank 25 and is in close contact with the water tank 25, relying on the temperature of the liquid in the water tank 25 to cool the pump body 24 during operation.

[0047] It is understood that the pump body 24 is located on the side of the inspection vehicle 10, so that when the pump body 24 needs to be replaced or repaired, the side housing of the inspection vehicle 10 can be disassembled to perform maintenance on the pump body 24.

[0048] It is understood that the filter section 24 is located on the side of the gimbal platform 22 and is close to the side of the housing of the inspection vehicle 10, which facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the filter section 24.

[0049] It should be noted that both the pump body 24 and the filter section 24 are selected with appropriate power efficiency to avoid affecting the liquid output of the water gun gimbal 21.

[0050] In one embodiment, the gimbal platform 22 is located at the end of the inspection vehicle 10. The gimbal platform 22 has a mounting groove that opens to one side. The water gun gimbal 21 is mounted in the mounting groove, and part of the water gun gimbal 21 extends out of the mounting groove.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the gimbal platform 22 is located at the end of the inspection vehicle 10 in the forward direction.

[0052] It is understandable that the position of the gimbal platform 22 is such that the water gun can be directed toward the movement direction of the inspection vehicle 10. When the inspection vehicle 10 detects a fire source, the water gun can be directed directly toward the fire source to facilitate rapid fire extinguishing and control operations.

[0053] It should be noted that the water gun gimbal 21 extends out of the mounting slot, making it easy for the water gun to extend out of the mounting slot. When the water gun sprays water, it can directly extinguish the fire source, eliminating the need for raising and lowering the water gun.

[0054] It should be noted that the opening of the mounting slot is away from the chassis of the inspection vehicle 10 to facilitate the rotation and spraying of the water gun.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the cross-sectional area of ​​the mounting groove is larger than the mounting area of ​​the gimbal platform 22, which facilitates the rotation of the gimbal platform 22 and the water gun, and provides rotation space to expand the spray range of the water gun and improve the fire handling capability of the inspection vehicle.

[0056] In one embodiment, the water tank 25 includes a water tank shell 252 and a plurality of isolation parts 251. The water tank shell 252 is disposed inside the inspection vehicle 10 and is hollow. The plurality of isolation parts 251 are arranged alternately inside the water tank shell 252.

[0057] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the water tank housing 252 has an inlet and an outlet on its side. The outlet is used to connect to the pump body 24, and the inlet is used to connect to an external pipe when the water tank 25 needs to be replenished with liquid.

[0058] like Figure 5 As shown, multiple isolation sections 251 are spaced apart inside the water tank housing 252 to divide the space inside the water tank housing 252.

[0059] It is understood that by setting up multiple isolation sections 251, multiple relatively independent spaces are formed. Each isolated independent space is used to store liquids with different effects, and each isolated independent space is connected to an outlet and an inlet.

[0060] It is understandable that each isolated independent space contains liquids with different effects, so that when the inspection vehicle 10 detects different dangerous situations, it can spray liquids with different effects to deal with the corresponding situations, thereby expanding and improving the emergency response capabilities of the inspection vehicle 10.

[0061] In one embodiment, the isolation portion 251 is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart grid holes.

[0062] It is understood that the isolation section 251 is provided with a grid hole so that the spaces separated by the multiple isolation sections 251 are interconnected. When the water tank 25 is filled with a liquid and the pump body 24 outputs liquid, it can help stabilize the output speed of the liquid.

[0063] It is understood that the multiple spaced isolation portions 251 are fixed inside the water tank shell 252 to enhance the structural strength of the water tank shell 252, so that when the capacity of the water tank shell 252 increases and the volume of the water tank shell 252 increases, the multiple isolation portions 251 support and stabilize the water tank shell 252.

[0064] In one embodiment, the inspection vehicle 10 includes a vehicle body 11 and a plurality of anti-collision parts 12. Anti-collision parts 12 are provided on the sides of the vehicle body 11, and the fire-fighting component 20 is provided on the vehicle body 11.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle body 11 is an integral Ackerman chassis, which improves the terrain adaptability of the inspection vehicle 10.

[0066] It is understood that anti-collision parts 12 are provided on multiple sides of the vehicle body 11 to reduce the damage to the inspection vehicle 10 caused by the terrain when the inspection vehicle 10 moves on complex terrain, which is conducive to extending the service life of the inspection vehicle 10.

[0067] It should be noted that the anti-collision part 12 is an anti-collision bracket, and the anti-collision bracket is equipped with buffer components such as buffer springs.

[0068] In one embodiment, a communication unit 50, a dual-beam gimbal 40, and a radar gimbal 30 are spaced apart on the surface of the vehicle body 11.

[0069] It is understood that the communication unit 50 includes a 5G antenna and a GPS antenna, which are spaced apart on the vehicle body 11 to facilitate the collection of control signals and positioning signals, thereby improving the control effect on the inspection vehicle 10.

[0070] It is understood that the dual-light gimbal 40 is located on the top of the vehicle body 11 and faces the forward direction of the inspection vehicle 10, thereby expanding the detection range.

[0071] It should be noted that the dual-light gimbal 40 is rotatably mounted on the top of the vehicle body 11.

[0072] It is understandable that the radar gimbal 30 is designed to facilitate the detection of the environment in which the inspection vehicle 10 moves during its operation, thereby ensuring the safety of the inspection vehicle 10's movement.

[0073] In one embodiment, the water tank 25 is provided with a control unit, and the communication unit 50, the dual-light gimbal 40 and the radar gimbal 30 are all electrically connected to the control unit.

[0074] It is understood that the control unit is mounted on the water tank 25, and the water tank 25 is used to cool the control unit and improve its working efficiency.

[0075] It is understood that the control unit is electrically connected to the communication unit 50, the dual-light gimbal 40, and the radar gimbal 30 to facilitate control operation.

[0076] In one embodiment, both the pump body 24 and the water gun gimbal 21 are electrically connected to the control unit.

[0077] It is understood that the control unit controls the pump body 24 and the water gun gimbal 21 to spray water.

[0078] Understandably, when the inspection vehicle 10 encounters an unknown heat source during its inspection, it will report it to the control center. At the same time, the dual-beam gimbal 40 on the inspection vehicle 10 will locate the heat source. With the cooperation of the radar gimbal 30 and the communication unit 50, the inspection vehicle 10 will move to a suitable distance from the heat source. The water gun gimbal 21 will be aligned with the heat source through the orientation of the dual-beam gimbal 40. At this time, the control unit will control the pump body 24 and the water gun gimbal 21 to spray water to control the heat source.

[0079] Understandably, the fire-fighting components built into the inspection robot can detect and control the fire source in advance, giving firefighters more time to enter the scene.

[0080] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
