Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of intelligent inspection device technology, specifically to an intelligent inspection robot for grain depots. Background Technology
[0002] In the core aspects of grain storage and management, monitoring and inspection of the internal environment of grain warehouses and the condition of stored grain play a crucial role. Traditional inspection methods often rely on manual entry into the grain warehouse. Manual inspection not only poses significant safety hazards but is also inefficient. More importantly, manual inspection is susceptible to the influence of individual subjective judgment, affecting the consistency and accuracy of monitoring results. Therefore, intelligent grain warehouse inspection robots are now being used to inspect grain warehouses, aiming to improve management efficiency and safety.
[0003] However, if there is a lot of grain in the granary, when the robot moves in the granary, it will inevitably stir up some dust and particulate matter. This dust and particulate matter may adhere to the inspection components during the robot's inspection process, and long-term accumulation may affect the robot's inspection effect. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an intelligent inspection robot for grain depots, which solves the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: a grain depot intelligent inspection robot, including a tracked chassis, a protective shell fixedly connected to the top of the tracked chassis, an opening on the top of the protective shell, a lifting cylinder fixedly connected to the center of the bottom wall of the inner wall of the protective shell, a connecting sleeve fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder, an inspection component provided on one side of the upper surface of the connecting sleeve, and a cleaning component provided inside the protective shell for cleaning the inspection component when the lifting cylinder drives the connecting sleeve to descend;
[0006] A sampling component for collecting samples is provided on one side of the outer wall of the protective shell.
[0007] Preferably, the inspection component includes a mounting base, and an inspection camera, a temperature and humidity sensor, and a supplementary light are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base.
[0008] Preferably, the cleaning assembly includes a piston cylinder fixedly connected to both sides of the inner top wall of the connecting sleeve and a bracket fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the connecting sleeve. A piston plate is slidably connected inside the piston cylinder. A connecting rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the piston plate. The end of the connecting rod away from the piston plate is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the protective shell. An inclined air nozzle communicating with the piston cylinder is fixedly connected to the top end of the bracket.
[0009] Preferably, the inclined jet nozzle and the piston cylinder are connected by a connecting pipe. The end of the connecting pipe away from the piston cylinder passes through the connecting sleeve and is connected to the inclined jet nozzle. A one-way air inlet valve connected to the piston cylinder is provided at the top of one side of the outer wall of the piston cylinder, and a one-way air outlet valve for connecting the piston cylinder and the connecting pipe is provided on one side of the outer wall of the piston cylinder.
[0010] Preferably, the sampling assembly includes a sampling cylinder fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the protective housing, a conical sampling tube fixedly connected to the output end of the sampling cylinder, and a spill prevention plate fixedly connected to the side of the outer wall of the protective housing near the conical sampling tube.
[0011] Preferably, the upper surface of the protective shell is provided with grooves on both sides, a slider is slidably connected in the groove, the top of the slider is fixedly connected with a cover plate that matches the opening, the bottom of the slider is rotatably connected with a connecting rod, and the end of the connecting rod away from the slider is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve.
[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This intelligent grain depot inspection robot, through the cooperation of a tracked chassis, protective shell, opening, lifting cylinder, connecting sleeve, inspection component, and cleaning component, when it is necessary to inspect the grain depot, the lifting cylinder drives the connecting sleeve and inspection component to move upward, so that the inspection component protrudes into the protective shell through the opening. Then, the tracked chassis drives the inspection component to move and inspect. After the inspection is completed, the lifting cylinder drives the inspection component to descend, so that the inspection component returns to the inside of the protective shell. During this process, the cleaning component can clean the inspection component, thereby minimizing the accumulation of dust and particulate matter on the surface of the inspection component after the inspection, which would affect the subsequent inspection effect.
[0014] 2. This intelligent grain depot inspection robot, through the cooperation of chutes, sliders, covers, and connecting rods, allows the lifting cylinder to move the connecting sleeve and inspection component upwards. Simultaneously, the connecting rod pushes two sliders and the cover plate fixedly connected to the sliders along the chutes to the side away from the opening. Then, the inspection component protrudes through the opening into the protective housing. The lifting cylinder then lowers the inspection component, causing it to return to its original position inside the protective housing. At this point, the connecting rod moves the two sliders and the cover plate fixedly connected to the sliders along the chutes to the side closer to the opening until the two cover plates abut against each other, sealing the opening. This allows the inspection component to be protected when not in use without affecting its operation, thus maximizing the device's lifespan.
[0015] 3. This intelligent grain depot inspection robot, through the cooperation of a sampling cylinder, a conical sampling tube, and an anti-spill plate, when it is necessary to sample the grain in the grain depot, the sampling cylinder drives the conical sampling tube to descend, the conical sampling tube is inserted into the grain, and the grain enters the conical sampling tube. Then, the sampling cylinder drives the conical sampling tube to rise again, and the upper surface of the conical sampling tube abuts against the anti-spill plate, so as to avoid the sample in the conical sampling tube from spilling out due to the unevenness of the grain causing the tracked chassis to tilt during the movement.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3This utility model provides a grain depot intelligent inspection robot, including a tracked chassis 1, a protective shell 2 fixedly connected to the top of the tracked chassis 1, an opening 3 on the top of the protective shell 2, a lifting cylinder 4 fixedly connected to the center of the inner bottom wall of the protective shell 2, a connecting sleeve 5 fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder 4, and an inspection component 6 provided on one side of the upper surface of the connecting sleeve 5. When it is necessary to inspect the grain depot, the lifting cylinder 4 drives the connecting sleeve 5 and the inspection component 6 to move upward until the inspection component 6 is completely protruding out of the protective shell 2.
[0024] The inspection component 6 includes a mounting base 61. An inspection camera 62, a temperature and humidity sensor 63, and a supplementary light 64 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting base 61. When the inspection component 6 is fully extended out of the protective shell 2, the staff can inspect the grain depot through the inspection camera 62 and detect the temperature and humidity inside the grain depot through the temperature and humidity sensor 63. The supplementary light 64 can provide supplementary lighting when the inspection camera 62 is inspecting dark areas.
[0025] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The protective shell 2 has grooves 9 on both sides of its upper surface. A slider 10 is slidably connected in the groove 9. A cover plate 11 that matches the opening 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 10. A connecting rod 12 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the slider 10. The end of the connecting rod 12 away from the slider 10 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the connecting sleeve 5.
[0026] When the lifting cylinder 4 lowers the inspection component 6, the connecting rod 12 moves the two sliders 10 and the cover plate 11 fixedly connected to the sliders 10 along the slide groove 9 towards the side closer to the opening 3, until the two cover plates 11 abut against each other, closing the opening 3, thereby protecting the inspection component 6 that has descended into the protective housing 2. When the lifting cylinder 4 raises the connecting sleeve 5 and the inspection component 6, the connecting rod 12 pushes the two sliders 10 and the cover plate 11 fixedly connected to the sliders 10 along the slide groove 9 towards the side away from the opening 3, so that the inspection component 6 can protrude from the opening 3.
[0027] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The protective housing 2 is equipped with a cleaning component 7 that cleans the inspection component 6 when the lifting cylinder 4 drives the connecting sleeve 5 to descend.
[0028] The cleaning component 7 includes a piston cylinder 71 fixedly connected to both sides of the inner top wall of the connecting sleeve 5 and a bracket 72 fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the connecting sleeve 5. A piston plate 73 is slidably connected inside the piston cylinder 71. A connecting rod 74 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the piston plate 73. The end of the connecting rod 74 away from the piston plate 73 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the protective shell 2. An inclined air nozzle 75 connected to the piston cylinder 71 is fixedly connected to the top end of the bracket 72. The inclined air nozzle 75 and the piston cylinder 71 are connected by a connecting pipe 76. The end of the connecting pipe 76 away from the piston cylinder 71 passes through the connecting sleeve 5 and is connected to the inclined air nozzle 75.
[0029] Two tilting jet nozzles 75 are respectively directed toward the lens of the inspection camera 62 and the temperature and humidity sensor 63. A one-way air inlet valve 77 connected to the piston cylinder 71 is provided at the top of one side of the outer wall of the piston cylinder 71. A one-way air outlet valve 78 for connecting the piston cylinder 71 and the connecting pipe 76 is provided on one side of the outer wall of the piston cylinder 71.
[0030] When the lifting cylinder 4 drives the connecting sleeve 5 to rise, outside air can enter the space above the piston plate 73 in the piston cylinder 71 through the one-way air inlet valve 77. When the lifting cylinder 4 drives the connecting sleeve 5 to fall, the piston cylinder 71 squeezes the air above the piston plate 73 in the piston cylinder 71, causing the air to be ejected through the one-way air outlet valve 78, the connecting pipe 76 and the tilting air nozzle 75 to blow and clean the lens of the inspection camera 62 and the temperature and humidity sensor 63.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 A sampling assembly 8 for collecting samples is provided on one side of the outer wall of the protective housing 2. The sampling assembly 8 includes a sampling cylinder 81 fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the protective housing 2. The sampling cylinder 81 and the lifting cylinder 4 are electrically connected to the control panel (not shown in the figure). A conical sampling cylinder 82 is fixedly connected to the output end of the sampling cylinder 81. A spill prevention plate 83 is fixedly connected to the side of the outer wall of the protective housing 2 near the conical sampling cylinder 82.
[0032] When it is necessary to sample the grain in the grain depot, the sampling cylinder 81 drives the conical sampling tube 82 to descend, the conical sampling tube 82 is inserted into the grain, and the grain enters the conical sampling tube 82. Then the sampling cylinder 81 drives the conical sampling tube 82 to rise again, and the upper surface of the conical sampling tube 82 abuts against the anti-spill plate 83 to prevent the sample in the conical sampling tube 82 from spilling out due to the unevenness of the grain causing the tracked chassis 1 to tilt during the movement.
[0033] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0034] When the grain depot needs to be inspected, the lifting cylinder 4 drives the connecting sleeve 5 and the inspection component 6 to move upward. During this process, outside air can enter the space above the piston plate 73 in the piston cylinder 71 through the one-way air inlet valve 77. At the same time, the connecting rod 12 pushes the two sliders 10 and the cover plate 11 fixedly connected to the sliders 10 to move along the slide groove 9 away from the opening 3. Then the inspection component 6 protrudes into the protective shell 2 through the opening 3.
[0035] Once the inspection component 6 is fully protruding from the protective casing 2, staff can inspect the grain depot through the inspection camera 62. At the same time, the temperature and humidity inside the grain depot can be detected through the temperature and humidity sensor 63. The supplementary light 64 can provide supplementary lighting when the inspection camera 62 is inspecting dark areas.
[0036] When it is necessary to sample the grain in the grain depot, the sampling cylinder 81 drives the conical sampling cylinder 82 to descend. The sampling cylinder 81 and the lifting cylinder 4 are electrically connected to the control panel (not shown in the figure). The conical sampling cylinder 82 is inserted into the grain, and the grain enters the conical sampling cylinder 82. Then, the sampling cylinder 81 drives the conical sampling cylinder 82 to rise again, and the upper surface of the conical sampling cylinder 82 abuts against the anti-spill plate 83 to prevent the sample in the conical sampling cylinder 82 from spilling out due to the unevenness of the grain causing the tracked chassis 1 to tilt during the movement.
[0037] After inspection, the lifting cylinder 4 lowers the inspection component 6, causing it to return to its original position inside the protective housing 2. During this process, the connecting rod 12 moves the two sliders 10 and the cover plate 11 fixedly connected to the sliders 10 along the slide groove 9 towards the opening 3 until the two cover plates 11 abut against each other, sealing the opening 3 and thus protecting the inspection component 6 that has descended into the protective housing 2. At the same time, when the lifting cylinder 4 raises the connecting sleeve 5, outside air can enter the space above the piston plate 73 in the piston cylinder 71 through the one-way air inlet valve 77. When the lifting cylinder 4 lowers the connecting sleeve 5, the piston cylinder 71 compresses the air above the piston plate 73 inside the piston cylinder 71, causing the air to be ejected through the one-way air outlet valve 78, the connecting pipe 76, and the tilting nozzle 75, cleaning the lens of the inspection camera 62 and the temperature and humidity sensor 63.
