[0032] Referring to Figures 1-5 The post-disaster rescue robot of the present embodiment comprises a rack 110, an electrical box 160, a storage box 120, and four walking modules 300, wherein the electrical box 160, the storage box 130, and the four walking modules 300 are all installed on the rack 110. The electrical box 160 is used for placing electrical equipment required by the entire device, such as CPU (or PLC, MCU), relay, motor driver, and battery.
[0033] The storage box 120 is used for storing articles, and the inside of the storage box 120 is a hollow storage cavity 121. The top of the storage cavity 121 is open, and an opening frame 122 is arranged at the opening. The opening frame 122 is sealingly assembled with a top cover 130, and a bolt 140 is assembled with the opening frame 122 after penetrating through the top cover 130 to fix the top cover 130 on the opening frame 122 (storage box 120).

Specifically, some electrically controlled clamps can be provided on the unmanned aerial vehicle, the electrically controlled clamps clamping the kidnapping 131 to carry the entire robot to fly, and after flying to the position, the electrically controlled clamps are opened to release the robot. Of course, a binding belt can also be provided on the unmanned aerial vehicle, the binding belt passing through the kidnapping 131 and one end being controlled by an electrically controlled lock to control whether it is separated from the unmanned aerial vehicle, and after the unmanned aerial vehicle reaches the preset position, the electrically controlled lock is opened to release the robot. The specific unmanned aerial vehicle mounting method directly uses the existing technology, and such technology has been widely used in the military and logistics industries.
[0035] Referring to Figures 1-11 The walking module 300 includes a first walking wheel 310, a second walking wheel 320, and an impeller 330. The first walking wheel 310 is installed on a walking arm 340 through a first wheel shaft 311. The walking arm 340 is circumferentially rotatable assembled with the frame 110 through a driving gear shaft 431. The driving gear shaft 431 is sleeved with a driving gear 430. The driving gear 430 is in meshing transmission with an intermediate gear 460. The intermediate gear 460 is in meshing transmission with a driven gear 470. The driven gear 470 is sleeved on a second wheel shaft 321. The second wheel shaft 321 is installed on the frame 110 and is sleeved with the second walking wheel 320. The intermediate gear 460 is sleeved on an intermediate gear shaft 461. The intermediate gear shaft 461 is installed on the frame 110.
[0036] The driving gear shaft 431 is connected with the first wheel shaft 311 through a second belt 450 and constitutes a belt transmission mechanism. The driving gear shaft 431 is connected with a walking motor shaft 231 through a first belt 440 and constitutes a belt transmission mechanism. The walking motor shaft 231 is installed on a walking motor 230. The walking motor 230 is installed in the frame or the electrical box 160. The walking motor 230 can drive the driving gear shaft 431 to rotate after being started. The driving gear shaft 431 drives the first wheel shaft 311 and the second wheel shaft 321 to rotate, respectively, so as to drive the corresponding first walking wheel 310 and the second walking wheel 320 to rotate and move the entire robot.
[0037] The second belt 450 is installed on the inner side of the walking arm 340, so as to protect the second belt 450 by the walking arm 340.
[0038] The walking arm 340 is circumferentially sleeved on the driving gear shaft 431, so that the rotation of the driving gear shaft 431 does not affect the walking arm 340 and does not drive the walking arm 340 to rotate relative to the driving gear shaft 431. The worm wheel 410 is installed on the walking arm 340, the worm wheel 410 is in meshing transmission with the worm 420, the worm 420 is installed on the worm shaft 630, the worm shaft 630 is circumferentially rotatable and axially immovable, and is installed on the support 110, and the first bevel gear 451 is installed on the worm shaft 630, the first bevel gear 451 is in meshing transmission with the second bevel gear 452, the second bevel gear 452 is installed on the motor shaft of the motor 240, and the motor 240 is installed in the frame or the electrical box. The motor 240 can drive the worm to rotate when started, so as to drive the worm wheel 410 to rotate, and drive the walking arm 340 to rotate relative to the frame 110 with the driving gear shaft 431 as the center.
[0039] In some embodiments, the walking arm 340 is provided with a walking arm groove 341, the limiting rod 350 passes through the walking arm groove 341 and extends out of both ends of the walking arm 340, and is screwed with nuts respectively, so as to clamp and fix the limiting rod 350 on the walking arm 340. In use, the limiting rod 350 cannot pass through the frame 110, so as to limit the maximum angle of rotation of the walking arm 340 relative to the frame 110 by the limiting rod 350.
[0040] In use, the four walking modules 300 are matched to realize rolling walking by the first walking wheels and / or the second walking wheels, and the four walking arms 340 are matched to realize walking in a manner similar to the walking of a robot dog. This design is mainly to adapt to different road conditions. When the road condition is flat, the rolling walking by the first walking wheels and / or the second walking wheels is more energy-saving and faster, and when the road condition is poor (such as pits, obstacles, stairs, etc.), the four walking arms 340 are matched to simulate four-limb walking to realize the crossing of obstacles by the whole robot, so as to adapt to different road conditions after a disaster. Of course, the height of the four first walking wheels can be adjusted according to the road condition, so as to flexibly adapt to different inclination degrees and obstacle heights of the road condition. On relatively flat ground, the walking arm 340 can be adjusted to be in a horizontal direction, so that the first walking wheel and the second walking wheel are in contact with the ground to walk, which can increase the grip and greatly reduce the probability of slipping, and the load can be increased, so that personnel can sit on the upper cover to assist personnel to move.
[0041] Referring to Figure 2Specifically, when walking with four limbs, the front left and rear right, and the front right and rear left (cross direction) can be used as a pair to walk in coordination, such as the front left and rear right walking arms 340 lifting up and rotating forward to the ground, and then the front right and rear left lifting up and rotating forward to the ground, and continuously reciprocating to achieve a walking mode similar to that of a robot dog. The specific walking mode can directly use the control mode of the existing robot dog. In addition, when walking in a mode similar to that of a robot dog, the walking motor can be stopped, so that the first walking wheel and / or the second walking wheel do not rotate, so that the walking is more stable.
[0042] The walking motor shaft 231 is connected to the impeller shaft 610 through a clutch assembly, so that the impeller shaft 610 can be driven to rotate as needed. One end of the impeller shaft 610 passes through the shaft sleeve 620 and is assembled with the impeller 330. After the robot is submerged in water, when the water flows over the impeller 330, the robot can be driven to walk on the water surface by the rotation of the impeller 330. Four impellers 330 cooperate to control the direction of the robot.
[0043] The clutch assembly includes a fixed seat 150, a sleeve 740, and an intermediate ring 760. The fixed seat 150 is installed on the frame 110. The sleeve 740 is installed on the fixed seat 150, and the inside of the sleeve 740 is provided with a first sleeve hole 741 and a second sleeve hole 742. The second sleeve hole 742 is arranged in the middle of the first sleeve hole 741. The walking motor shaft 231 and one end of the impeller shaft 610 are respectively sleeved and fixed with a motor clutch ring 232 and an impeller clutch ring 611 at one end of the first sleeve hole 741.
[0044] The second sleeve hole 742 is in communication with one end of a pipe 750. The other end of the pipe 750 is in communication with a first outlet of a reversing valve. The inlet of the reversing valve is in communication with a gas source, and the second outlet is in communication with the atmosphere. The reversing valve is used to selectively connect one of the first outlet and the inlet, and the second outlet. The gas source can be a gas pump. The gas pump and the reversing valve are both installed in the frame or the electrical box.
[0045] The intermediate ring 760 is installed in the second sleeve hole 742, and a plurality of intermediate ring holes 761 are arranged on the side wall of the intermediate ring 760. The two ends of the intermediate ring 760 are respectively assembled with different end rings 731. The end rings 731 are installed and fixed on one end of the telescopic sleeve 730. The end rings 731 are circumferentially rotatable and installed in the second sleeve hole 742. The other end of the telescopic sleeve 730 is assembled with a corresponding friction disc 710. Two friction discs 710 are located on the inside end of the telescopic sleeve 730 and are assembled with the two ends of the spring 720. The spring 720 applies a spring force to the two friction discs 710 to move closer to each other. The two friction discs 710 are clamped and axially slidably installed in the first sleeve hole 741 and do not contact the motor clutch ring 232 and the impeller clutch ring 611 in the initial state. The telescopic sleeve 730 has axial telescopic elasticity.
[0046] When the robot floats on the water surface, the air source can be introduced into the pipeline 750 to inflate the telescopic sleeve 730, thereby increasing the air pressure in the telescopic sleeve 730, and the air pressure drives the two friction discs 710 to move away from each other to overcome the elastic force of the spring 720, and finally press the motor clutch ring 232 and the impeller clutch ring 611 to drive the impeller shaft to rotate, thereby driving the impeller to rotate. In this embodiment, the robot needs to be optimized in structure and material so that it can float on the water surface and the impeller is immersed in water when it floats on the water surface. Of course, this can be achieved by reasonable adjustment of the prior art or by limited tests. When the impeller does not need to rotate, the reversing valve is connected with the second outlet to exhaust the gas in the telescopic sleeve 730, so that the spring pulls the two friction discs to reset.
[0047] In some embodiments, the electrical box and / or storage box are respectively provided with a radar 210 and a camera 220. The radar 210 is used to sense the surrounding obstacles, and the camera 220 is used to obtain the surrounding image to guide the robot to walk. Specifically, the existing robot automatic identification technology or car intelligent driving technology can be combined to identify the road condition, and then the robot can automatically walk. Alternatively, the robot can be remotely controlled by a person to walk. Of course, these are prior art, and the existing related technical solutions can be used.
[0048] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the technical terms or scientific terms used in the present application should be understood as the usual meaning understood by the skilled person in the field to which the present application belongs.
[0049] The above is only the preferred specific embodiment of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or replacements easily thought of by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be covered in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
