[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the present invention. 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.
[0032] Example 1
[0033] The disinfection robot described in this embodiment includes a mobile base 1, a housing 6 mounted on the top of the mobile base 1, and a support column 18 vertically mounted inside the housing 6. The upper half of the support column 18 extends through the top of the housing 6. Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 10 As shown, the box body 6 is mostly located in the top rear half of the movable base 1. The top of the box body 6 has a first through hole that connects the inside and outside. The support column 18 passes through the first through hole to the outer wall of the box body 6.
[0034] In practical applications, the support column 18 can be made of aluminum alloy and has a hollow structure, which effectively reduces the overall weight of the support column 18 and facilitates the laying of wiring inside the support column 18. In practical applications, the mobile base 1 can be a smart car, or a mobile base 1 can be made using the positioning and navigation technology of a sweeping robot. It can effectively plan the disinfection path and is equipped with a visual camera, infrared supplement light, collision sensor and lidar at the front and rear to ensure that the disinfection robot can scan the surrounding environment in all directions during the movement, ensuring the safety of surrounding objects and the machine itself. It also has a Raspberry Pi installed inside for data processing and issuing commands.
[0035] The Raspberry Pi is a current technology. It is a microcomputer about the size of a credit card. The Raspberry Pi is based on an ARM microcomputer motherboard and uses SD / MicroSD cards as its memory and hard drive. Around the card-sized motherboard are 1 / 2 / 4 USB ports and a 10 / 100 Ethernet port (Type A does not have a network port). It can connect a keyboard, mouse and network cable. It also has a TV output interface for analog video signals and an HDMI high-definition video output interface. All of these components are integrated on a motherboard that is only slightly larger than a credit card and has all the basic functions of a PC.
[0036] Further optimization involves installing an ultraviolet lamp at the bottom of the mobile base 1, which can better disinfect and sterilize the ground.
[0037] Fixing plates 8 are installed on both the left and right side walls at the upper end of the support column 18, such as... Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 13 As shown, the fixing plates 8 are all installed on the upper ends of the left and right side walls of the support column 18, and are symmetrical to each other along the vertical central axis of the support column 18; in actual application, the fixing plates 8 are made of metal.
[0038] Each fixed plate 8 is connected to a first lamp arm 4, which rotates up and down along the hinge. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the first lamp arm 4 is connected to the fixing plate 8 via the first connector 14; the structure of the first connector 14 is as follows: Figure 11 and Figure 14 As shown, the overall structure of the first connector 14 is similar to that of the double-eared U-shaped hinge seat, except that one ear on the first connector 14 is longer than the other ear. Figure 14 Two plates with hinged holes that connect front and back; such as Figure 14As shown, the two ears of the first connector 14 are provided with a first hinge hole that is open from front to back, and the longer ear is also provided with a second hinge hole that is open from front to back.
[0039] In practical applications, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, a second through hole is provided on the fixed plate 8, which is open to the front and back. The second through hole and the first hinge hole on the first connector 14 are hinged together by bolts. When actually hinged, the fixed end of the bolt is first passed through the first hinge hole on one of the ears of the first connector 14, then through the second through hole on the fixed plate 8, and finally through the first hinge hole on the other ear of the first connector 14. Thus, the first lamp arm 4 is hinged to the fixed plate 8 through the first connector 14, so that the first lamp arm 4 can rotate up and down along the hinge.
[0040] An electric push rod 9 is installed on the housing 6 to drive the first lamp arm 4 to rotate up and down along the hinge, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, there are two electric push rods 9. The electric push rods 9 are vertically installed at the bottom of the box 6 and are distributed on the left and right. The electric push rods 9 are located in front of the support column 18. The motor of the electric push rod 9 is installed at the bottom of the box 6. The movable end of the electric push rod 9 passes through the first through through the box 6. The movable end of the electric push rod 9 is hinged to the second hinge hole on the first connector 14 by bolts.
[0041] In actual hinged connection, a third through hole is opened at the movable end of the electric push rod 9, and the fixed end of the bolt is passed through the third through hole; then through the second hinge hole on the first connector 14, so that the movable end of the electric push rod 9 is hinged together with the first connector 14.
[0042] In practical applications, when the electric push rod 9 extends, the first connecting member 14 rotates downward along the hinge with the electric push rod 9, causing the first connecting member 14 to drive the first lamp arm 4 to rotate downward along the hinge between the first connecting member 14 and the fixing plate 8.
[0043] The electric linear actuator 9 uses 12V. In practical applications, the electric linear actuator 9 is existing technology. The electric linear actuator 9 is also known as a linear actuator. Its structure consists of a drive motor, reduction gear, screw, nut, guide sleeve, push rod, slide, spring, housing, turbine, micro-control switch and other tools. It can be regarded as an extension of the rotary motor in terms of structure. The electric linear actuator is a new type of linear actuator mainly composed of motor push rod and control device.
[0044] A torque motor 3 is installed at one end of the first lamp arm 4, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, a mounting groove with the upper and lower openings connected and the cut opening facing the second lamp arm 5 is provided on the end of the first lamp arm 4 where the first connector 14 is not installed. The torque motor 3 is installed inside the mounting groove. One end of the torque motor 3 with an output shaft extends out of the groove and is connected to the second connector 16.
[0045] The torque motor 3 is connected to the second lamp arm 5 via the second connector 16. The torque motor 3 is used to control the up-and-down rotation of the second lamp arm 5. Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 13 and Figure 15 As shown, the second connector 16 consists of two connectors. Both connectors are installed on the side wall of one end of the second lamp arm 5 and are distributed in a front-to-back manner. The opposite surfaces of the two connectors are provided with insertion holes for the output shaft of the torque motor 3.
[0046] In actual connection, the connecting block is fitted onto the output shaft of the torque motor 3 through the insertion hole, and the inner side wall of the insertion hole is interference-fitted with the outer side wall of the output shaft of the torque motor 3. Finally, the connecting block is installed on one side wall of the second lamp arm 5 (when it is the right side of the second lamp arm 5, the connecting block is installed on the left side wall of the right side of the second lamp arm 5, and when it is the left side of the second lamp arm 5, the connecting block is installed on the right side wall of the left side of the second lamp arm 5), thereby connecting the first lamp arm 4 and the second lamp arm 5 together to form a hinged structure. When the lamp arm is fully extended, the side wall of the first lamp arm 4 on which the torque motor 3 is installed abuts against the side wall of the second lamp arm 5 on which the second connecting piece 16 is installed, preventing the second lamp arm 5 from continuing to rotate downwards and keeping the second lamp arm 5 in a horizontal state.
[0047] In practical applications, both the first lamp arm 4 and the second lamp arm 5 are equipped with ultraviolet lamps for disinfection and sterilization.
[0048] In this embodiment, during actual use, when the electric push rod 9 is activated and extends, the first connecting member 14 rotates downward along the hinge with the electric push rod 9, causing the first connecting member 14 to drive the first lamp arm 4 to rotate downward along the hinge between the first connecting member 14 and the fixing plate 8, thus retracting the first lamp arm 4. When the electric push rod 9 is shortened, the first connecting member 14 rotates upward along the hinge with the electric push rod 9, causing the first connecting member 14 to drive the first lamp arm 4 to rotate upward along the hinge between the first connecting member 14 and the fixing plate 8, thus unfolding the first lamp arm 4. At the same time, the torque motor 3 is activated, and the torque motor 3 drives the second lamp arm 5 to rotate up and down through the second connecting member 16, thus unfolding or retracting the second lamp arm 5, thereby retracting and unfolding the lamp arm.
[0049] Example 2
[0050] This embodiment further illustrates the technology. An atomizing water tank 2 is mounted on the top of the movable base 1, and the atomizing water tank 2 is located on the front side of the housing 6. Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 12 As shown; the atomizing water tank 2 is existing technology. The atomizing water tank 2 uses the atomization technology of a humidifier. The atomized water is sprayed out from the top spray nozzle through the atomizing module. In actual application, the atomized disinfectant is sprayed out through the atomizing water tank 2 to disinfect the surrounding area.
[0051] To further explain, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 13 As shown, a collision protection strip 7 is installed on the mobile base 1; the collision protection strip 7 is made of rubber; in actual application, the collision protection strip 7 reduces the damage to the disinfection robot when it is hit.
[0052] Example 3
[0053] This embodiment further illustrates the technology. A housing 13 is mounted on the top of the support column 18. Both the housing 13 and the end of the second lamp arm 5 without the second connector 16 are equipped with ultrasonic sensors 11 for distance measurement. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown; in practical applications, the ultrasonic sensor 11 is used for distance monitoring, so that the disinfection robot can clearly know the distance between itself and the obstacle, and can turn in time to prevent collision.
[0054] Example 4
[0055] This embodiment further illustrates the technology. A display screen 17 is installed on the housing 6, and a warning light 12 is installed on the top of the housing 13. Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 In practical applications, the warning light 12 can alert people in the vicinity. In practical applications, the display screen 17 is a smart screen with touch screen operation, so the disinfection robot can be controlled through the display screen 17, and the status of the disinfection robot can be understood through the display screen 17.
[0056] Example 5
[0057] This embodiment further illustrates the technology. A battery 20 is installed inside the housing 6. A through-slot is provided on the right side wall of the housing 6 to facilitate the removal of the battery 20. A cover plate 19 for sealing the through-slot is detachably installed inside the through-slot. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown; in actual applications, the disinfection robot is powered by battery 20.
[0058] To further explain, such as Figure 5 As shown, the inside of the housing 6 is equipped with a groove 21 for protecting the battery 20; the opening of the groove 21 faces the through slot, so that when the battery 20 is put into the housing 6, the battery 20 is located inside the groove 21, thereby separating the battery 20 from the electric push rod 9 and the support column 18 through the groove 21, preventing the electric push rod 9 and the support column 18 from affecting the battery 20 when they are running.
[0059] Example 6
[0060] This embodiment further illustrates the technology. A position switch 15 is installed on the top of the torque motor 3, and a position switch 15 is also installed on the side wall of the first lamp arm 4 where the torque motor 3 is installed. Figure 3 , Figure 11 As shown, the upper end of the housing of the torque motor 3 is located outside the mounting groove. At the same time, the second lamp arm 5 has a groove for the upper end of the housing of the torque motor 3 to be inserted. When the position switch 15 on the side wall of the first lamp arm 4 where the torque motor 3 is mounted is pressed down, the closing signal of the position switch 15 is transmitted to the disinfection robot, so that the disinfection robot can know that the lamp arm has been fully extended; when the position switch 15 on the torque motor 3 is pressed down, the closing signal of the position switch 15 is transmitted to the disinfection robot, so that the disinfection robot can know that the second lamp arm 5 has been retracted.
[0061] Two infrared sensors 10, arranged vertically, are mounted on each of the fixed plates 8. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, when the first connector 14 blocks the infrared light emitted by the upper infrared sensor 10, the upper infrared sensor 10 transmits a signal to the disinfection robot, so that the disinfection robot knows that the first lamp arm 4 has been retracted. When the first connector 14 blocks the infrared light emitted by the lower infrared sensor 10, the lower infrared sensor 10 transmits a signal to the disinfection robot, so that the disinfection robot knows that the first lamp arm 4 has been deployed.
